The Law of Attraction: Getting Everything
You Want Out of Life Through the Power
of Your Own Mind. And Let Your
Thoughts Determine Your Destiny
Imagine for a moment that you have in your possession a source of
complete and total power. You alone can command the warmth of the sun, the fall
of the rain, the turn of the tides and the direction of the winds. What would you do
with this kind of power? Would you abuse it causing the world to fall into utter
chaos? Would you be benevolent and merciful, using your power to help the
people of your planet achieve their ultimate potential?
Unfortunately (or fortunately, as the case may be) there is no way for a
person to have that much power. Mother Nature controls the planetary systems
according to her own rules and her own designs. You will never be able to have
utter control over the environment you are inhabiting.
What if you could, however, have the power to determine the course of
your own life? What if you could accomplish great things and acquire great riches
just by using the power of your own mind? What if I told you that this does not
have to be a “what if?” What if I told you that you possess in your psyche the
power to chart the course of the rest of your life on
whatever path you see fit?
Chances are you would tell me that I had obviously
been watching too much Sci-Fi and needed to get out of the
house more often, not to mention my obvious need to
expand my vocabulary, considering the number of times I
have used “what if” in this conversation. You would be
wrong (about the Sci-Fi, anyway). Every person holds in their mind the power to
shape the events of their life to achieve whatever end they see fit. This power is
what is known as the law of attraction. Picture Taken by Google Images
What is the Law of Attraction?
The belief held by many theorists is that the universe is governed by a set
of universal laws; these laws cannot be changed, cannot be broken and apply to
every individual, regardless of age or nationality. These l aws are the riverbanks
which guide the flow of their lives on its journey to its ultimate end.
The law of attraction is one such law. The law of attraction is the belief that
anyone can determine their destiny through the power of their minds.
"The Law of Attraction attracts to you everything you need, according to
the nature of your thoughts. Your environment and financial condition are the
perfect reflection of your habitual thinking." Joseph Murphy
The History of the Law of
Attraction
Before we go too deep into the modern applications of the law of attraction
it is important that you understand that this is not simply New Age nonsense (most
descriptions of the law of attraction refer to it as a product of a New Age
Mentality). The principles of the law of attraction date back far beyond the new
found popularity of the New Age.
The immortal Buddha was actually one of the first to introduce man to the
law of attraction. He said, “What you have become is what you have thought.”
This was a principle that the people of the east were acquainted with for centuries
before it began to sweep into the western hemisphere.

The concept of karma also may have drawn its roots from the law of
attraction. Karma states that you will eventually be revisited by that which you
have sent out into the universe. If you have practiced kindness and compassion
you will receive in kind. If you have been deliberately cruel to another you will
receive back into your life that cruelty which you have sent out. Your actions and
thoughts morph into physical entities, causing the universe to react in kind.
The law of attraction began to gain popularity in the western hemisphere in
the 19
th
century, as people began to appreciate the power of positive thinking and
apply it to their life. This new concept was first introduced to the general public by
William Walker Atkinson, the editor of New Thought magazine, who published a
book called Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World in
1906.
As you can see, the law of attraction is not new. The concept that thought
can have a predominate affect on the course of a man’s destiny has been taught by
wise men throughout the ages, and has given rise to a whole new era of beliefs.
What is the Premise of the Law of
Attraction?
The theory behind the law of attraction is the belief that energy attracts like
energy in the vast expanse of space and time that comprises our universe. Each
person’s being is constantly radiating energy out into space; the type of energy
being radiated is determined by the emotional state of the individual in question
and may differ from day to day-sometimes even hour to hour!
This emotional energy is what is commonly known as a “vibe” and is
referred to as a vibration by scientists studying the law of attraction. Chances are
that you are familiar with the term. Have you e ver been with someone who is so
happy they seem to be radiating a “glow which inspires happiness in all those
around them? By the same token, have you ever spent time with someone who
was so critical and unhappy that they consistently gave off a “negative vibe”
which seemed to suck the life and happiness out of all those around them?
You do not have to possess psychic powers to be able to feel the vibes that
people emit; this energy is very real on a psychological plane and will affect
anyone, anywhere at any time. Our vibrations are usually an unconscious response
to some form of environmental stimulus; something has happened which has
caused us to feel happy, or sad, or scared, or confused, or stressed, etc., and our
subconscious response to this (because vibes are generated and projected from the
subconscious rather than the conscious) is something that is beyond our control.
Chances are the person who is emitting a negative vibe does
not choose to be unhappy, nor do they wish to inflict their
unhappiness on all those around them by the simple fact of their
presence. (Before you say what you are thinking, yes, there are
some exceptions to this rule. Misery does love company and there
are many who take a great deal of delight in inflicting their pain on
other people. It is important to understand that this is not usually done in a desire
to cause others pain but out a desire to not feel so alone in their unhappiness. But
we digress…)
There are a number of feelings which lead to positive and negative vibes
being emitted, and it is important before we continue on any form of discussion
about the law of attraction that you understand what each of these are (you’ll
understand the reasons for this a little later).
Positive vibes
Positive vibes are generated from good feelings, such as:
Joy
Love
Excitement
Abundance (of anything that causes a positive response)
Pride
Comfort
Confidence
Affection
Negative vibes
Negative vibes are generated from negative feelings, such as:
Disappointment
Loneliness
Lack (of any of life’s necessities or luxuries)
Sadness
Confusion
Stress
Anger
Hurt
What do Vibes Have to With the
Law of Attraction?
As we mentioned earlier the fundamental principle of the law of attraction
is the belief that life energy attracts like energy. This means that if a person is
emitting positive vibes they will draw good things to them and if they are emitting
negative vibes they will draw bad things to them.
”You are a living magnet, attracting what you want.”
You have seen this principle in practice before. Have you
ever known someone who was always upbeat and positive and
seemed to be too lucky to be true? On the flip side, you have
certainly known someone who loved to complain and look on the
darker sides of life that always seemed to have something new to
complain about because things were always going wrong in their
life. These examples show people attracting the results of the energy they are
giving off.
“Remember, you attract to your life whatever you give your attention,
energy and focus to, whether wanted or unwanted.” Michael J. Losier
Does this mean that all of the bad things that happen to you in this life are
because you subconsciously wanted them to? This is one of the most common
arguments against the concept of the law of attraction and it often the hardest to
refute because people have not yet recognized that the law of attraction is not a
pipe dream or something that someone dreamed up while sitting on their porch
one hot summer night. It is a fact of life, and its effects are far reaching.
In answer to your question, no, not everything bad that happens in your life
is a result of you subconsciously wishing for it to happen. Sometimes it is a result
of someone else wishing for it to happen. To quote an example from a website
pertaining to the law of attraction a child or a spouse who is abused is not abused
because they wished for this abuse to happen. This abuse happened because the
abuser allowed their negative thoughts concerning their child or spouse to creep
across their subconscious until they eventually began to dictate their actions.
The mind is a powerful thing, and where the mind goes the feet will soon
follow. The foundation of any success you are going to encounter in lie is not the
ability of your physical body to overcome the obstacles but of your mind to
believe that a way lies around them. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Where
your mind can believe that there is a way for the body to achieve its heart’s desire
a way does exist.
How Can I Use the Law of
Attraction?
This is an excellent (and very important) question. After all, it doesn’t do
you much good to know what the law of attraction is if you do not know how to
use it to achieve success in your own life. Once you have mastered the basics of
the law of attraction you will be able to apply it to any area in your life.
1) The first step in finding success through the law of attraction is to accept
responsibility for the things that have occurred in your life, both good and
bad. This is often the most difficult part of achieving success through
manifestation because we are taught from childhood to believe that our
environment contributes in a large part to the circumstances in which we
find ourselves. It’s very hard to take the responsibility and acknowledge the
fact that your environment was not the major contributing factor in each of
these events; in many cases you will have no one to blame but yourself.
In order to help yourself move past these events take a moment and write
down on a piece of paper all of the major events in your life (again, both
good and bad). Leave plenty of room underneath each one. Now, take a
moment to go back and review these events. Write down what you were
feeling at the time they happened, how you felt before they happened and
what events had occurred prior to this. Chances are you are going to find
that events occurring in your favor occurred at times when you were
possessed of a positive attitude and other things in your life were going
right. On the flip side, events which occurred probably happened
concurrently with other events in your life which caused you to have a
negative outlook on life. Coincidence?
2) Once you have accepted the fact that you are responsible for your own fate
it is time to go one step further and determine what it is about your life that
you would like to change. Do you want to find another job? Move to a new
house? Enter into a meaningful relationship? Receive a promotion?
Identify the things you wish to achieve and write them down. Display them
in a prominent place; constantly being able to view the anticipated results
of your endeavors will help to keep you on the right track. In essence, with
the creation of this list you are asking the universe for what you want. Take
the time to think on this for a while so that it is embedded firmly in your
mind, and keep your goals specific; making a goal too big or too general is
an almost certain guarantee that you will not be able to achieve it because
you will be too busy worrying about how you are going to achieve it.
3) Raise your vibrations so that they are all positive. Act and feel as though
you are confident that the end result you are hoping for is going to occur.
This is an essential part of the law of attraction because
it is very easy to allow your mind to begin to wander to
all of the difficulties which you may encounter when
trying to achieve your goals. This will cause your
vibrations to become negative and will work against you
rather than for you.
4) Accept that it can happen. Many times your subconscious is your own
stumbling block; you will be attempting to convince your conscious mind
that something can happen while at the same time your subconscious is
picking out the reasons that it will never work. In order to help yourself
overcome this stumbling block and have absolute faith in the fact that you
will be able to effect this change in your life you should look again at the
sheet of paper upon which you have written your goals and attempt to write
them in terms that will help your mind and body accept them as fact.
It is recommended that you write these statements in the third person rather
than the first; it is often difficult for the mind to accept something as fact
when it is couched in such relative terms as I, me or my. For example, if
you are attempting to find a new job you could say, “Millions of people
every year work in jobs which make them happy.” If you are seeking to
enter a meaningful relationship you could say, “Millions of people around
the globe have found their soul mate and are now happily settled in
comfortable, established relationships”.
The purpose of writing these statements down is to purge the negative vibes
and doubts from your mind. If you are unable to accept the outcome as fact
your subconscious mind is going to conjure a different outcome, and it is
going to be this outcome that your mind and body focus on; therefore, this
outcome is going to be the one that will become your reality and you will
walk away absolutely certain that the law of attraction is one hundred
percent false.
What Can the Law of Attraction
Do for You?
"Why is true success so relatively effortless? It might be likened to the
magnetic field created by an electrical current through a wire. The higher the
power of the current, the greater the magnetic field that it generates. And the
magnetic field itself then influences everything in its presence." David R. Hawkins,
M.D., Ph.D.
The law of attraction can help to determine the course of your future, and
the successes or failure which you may encounter along the way.
Work
Let us for a moment consider the possibilities of the law of attraction when
applied to your working environment. For those who are searching for a job it may
be impossible to find one which suits them. Is this because such a job does not
exist, or is it because in their subconscious mind they believe that they will not be
able to find a job and consequently are releasing so much negative energy out into
the universe that they are actually driving these jobs away?
Anyone who has ever tried to search for a job (or known somebody who
was) knows that you have a drastically improved chance of finding gainful
employment when you are already employed elsewhere than when you are
unemployed. For someone who has lost their job and is currently without
employment it may seem easier to climb Mount Everest than to get that first all -
important interview. It seems as though job after job simply isn’t interested in
what they have to offer.
Why is this? It certainly cannot be because there are no employment
opportunities out there; after all, chances are they would not have applied for
the job if the job had not already made its interest in recruiting new employees
clear. Why, then, do people suffer from unemployment for months or even
years at a time?
The answer to that is they often believe they will not be able to find a job,
and consequently they have stopped trying. In their subconscious minds t hey
do not truly believe that any of their efforts will bear fruit, and so they are
projecting that negative energy all around them.
On the other hand, an individual who already has a job is secure and
confident in their ability to find a job and do it well; after all, someone has
obviously thought them worthy enough to hire them (and keep them) in the
first place, and chances are if they are searching for a new job it is because
they are confident enough in their abilities that they believe they deserve a job
that will treat them better/pay them more/provide more stimulating work/etc.
It is this quiet confidence that will lead to the effects of the law of attraction
becoming obvious. Since they are projecting this positive energy around them
they will be drawing in positive energy as well, attracting the job that they
truly want. Remember when you were listing your goals above and you had to
accept the fact that they could happen?
Chances are that you too are looking for more from your career than you
have right now; if you are not, then you probably don’t need to be reading this
because you have obviously already mastered the ability to chart your own
destiny. If you are still seeking for that golden opportunity, ask the universe for
it, then sit back and wait, secure in the knowledge that the universal law of
attraction will bring it to your doorstep. It might not be today, it might not be
tomorrow, but it will occur.
Let us say that you are satisfied with the job you have but you are seeking a
promotion; after all, no one wants to be at the bottom of the totem pole forever.
In order to get the promotion you are dreaming about the first thing you
must do is remove any doubt from your mind. Walk into the interview one
hundred percent sure that the position will be yours; remember, if you are still
living with the belief that the position may be above you and you are not
certain that you have the necessary skills to fill the position you are absolutely
right.
“We are unlimited beings…we have no ceilings”
Michael Beckwith
The same principle can be applied to the opening of a new business as well.
If you have ever gone to high school you have probably received the lecture on
what to do and what not to do in an interview. One of the biggest don’ts in
interviewing protocol is to let the interviewer see that you are nervous. By
showing the interviewer that you have confidence in your ability to handle any
job which they throw at you, you are increasing your value as an employee in
their eyes.
The same can be said of any attempts to open a business. It is essential
when approaching prospective investors that you have one hundred percent
confidence in yourself and your business in order to guarantee that they will be
willing to take a chance on you.
Is this need for absolute confidence a coincidence only, or is it the law of
attraction at work? By having confidence in your abilities you are sending
positive energy out into the universe, and consequently drawing the positive
energies currently existing in the universe back unto yourself.
It is impossible to over-emphasize the importance of vibrating positive
energy when you are talking about the law of a
