Law of Attraction

I keep reading bad information about the law of attraction in forums. The writers talk about holding wishful magical thoughts and then sitting back and waiting for magic to happen. So they claim this is a fraud, that magic doesn’t happen this way. I would agree that simple wishful thinking this way is a fraud but it is not the law of attraction.

The law of attraction calls on you to visualize your result, draw ideas about achieving it from the visualization, and to act on those ideas, and finally to repeat the loop daily. This is far from just thinking happy magical thoughts of things. I think if you consider this that it is actually a solid plan for achievement in any area.

These writers seem to have missed a key point about the law of attraction and the Science of Getting Rich, action is required. This is very clearly stated in the movie “The Secret” and in the book The Science of Getting Rich.

One of my favorite quotes from The Science of Getting Rich is:”By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.”

By action you receive it, that means doing something not sitting home and thinking happy thoughts. The happy thoughts and the thinking about it using visualization are done to trigger ideas about the action that you need to take to bring the desired result to you.

This process has been used by Denis Waitley to train olympic athletes, this is something he wrote about in his best seller “The psychology of Winning.” Waitley describes the process even though the term “law of attraction” wasn’t in vogue when he wrote the book, still he has all of the steps.

The same is true of the book “The Science of Getting Rich.” This book is a treatise on the law of attraction even though the term is not used even once in the entire book. Still the steps are clearly laid out as the loop that was mentioned at the beginning of this article.

Many deride the law of attraction after never having understood it. They grab onto the idea of happy thoughts and wishful thinking and correctly realize that doing just this doesn’t work. However they have failed to see the complete process of the law of attraction, that you spin ideas off of the visualization, then you act on the ideas. Action, action, action is very clearly called for by all responsible teachers of the law.

Do the steps and repeat daily and soon results will follow. This is the law of attraction.

Your dreams, do you know what they are or have they been completely washed away.  You had them once and you built them into a glorious castle and now, where are they?  Like building a sandcastle by the ocean, the opinions of others and the day to day things of life,  like the water of the ocean, taking a little bit of it each time the tide comes back.  Soon your dreams, like the sand castle, are leveled and you cannot tell where they were.   So what does the law of attraction and universal laws have to do with this?  Be patient – you are attracting the answer.

When you did have a dream, what was it? Was it a dream? Was there something you once wanted to do but you got the message from somewhere that you didn’t have the gas to get it done.  Still can you see even the faintest image of your dream?

Whatever it was take it out and turn it round and round in your mind. Dust it off and look at it from all sides. Polish it up. Just do this once a day for a week or two. You will begin to notice other ideas coming about it. Act on them. It doesn’t matter how small the ideas are or how small the actions but begin to act on them.

Every night as you fall asleep muse over this idea. If you are sedating yourself with TV to fall asleep stop, tune into your own channel and make this dream whatever you’d like it can become as big as you make it.

Now the crazy part, your dreams will become your reality if you start taking these small steps.

This process is based on the law of attraction and it is working in your life right now, perhaps you are just not attracting the things you want.  Look in the sidebar to the right for an audio book called “The Science of Getting Rich” and download it, it is free. This is not some screwball book but will help you get the things that you want in your life rather than just taking what shows up. Listen to it and keep listening to it until it becomes part of you, part of your thinking.  This is one of the best single sources on the universal laws ever written.

Live an inspired life – not a life of have-to or should’s. Live your life – yours – believe in yourself and in your dreams and the law of attraction and the universal laws will work for you.

As a Man Thinketh, Gettting Your Mind Into The Law of Attraction

As A Man Thinketh is a great little book published in 1902 by James Allen. Allen arrived at the philosophy of the book through observation and meditation. Allen was profoundly impacted by Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he… Allen argues that a man who works on himself inside first will soon see the changes reflected in his outer world.

As A Man Thinketh is a powerful philosophy that will help you achieve by changing and purifying your thoughts. The book will show you how to transform your thoughts into concrete actions that will result in the achievement of anything that you deeply desire in your heart.

As a Man Thinketh by James Allen argues that a man is his dream: that what a man thinks about is what he becomes. In the book, readers are introduced to effect of thought on circumstances; effect of thought on health and body; thought and purpose; thought factor in achievement; vision and ideals and serenity. It is another statement of the law of attraction.
