Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is commonly associated with New Age and New Thought theories. It posits that one should never dwell on the negative, as the "metaphysical principle of life" is embodied in a "law of attraction": "you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your destiny." It is also said that emotions are the factor that increase or decrease the speed of attraction relative to how much you feel about the subject you are attempting to attract.

It's likely to have someone who is great at manifesting. There is always some person have everything, as if they were born under lucky star. Seemingly getting everything easily with little effort. Well, it maybe that they very well were born with the knowledge of manifesting already intact. Once we learn something in our past lives, it is not a lost, we can choose to bring those talents with us as we move into a new life experience.

Attracting abundance is a knowledge. It can't improve via practice or even surpass the talent expressed by another. Those people who are efficient in attracting have trained their minds to focus on their desires. They have learned it so well that they often times don't even realize how they do it. It is the same as a housemate of mine got the instinct to create abundance of wealth from sharemarket. Abundance comes to him naturally. He wouldn't blink an eye if someone suggested him don't deserve something, it isn't part of his reality.

Reality is created by noone other than ourself. We can attract money, relationships and career that we focus on. We have to state an affirmation, no affirmation is going to work if the thoughts or feelings are negating the positive. When we focus on "having less" then we create that experience for ourselves. Basically, just wanting something isn't going to bring that to us when we continue to obsess on the not having of that something. All we will experience is "not having" and will be ultimately blocking our true desires. It is better to focus on a particular object or senario on positive issue.

There is a trick to the Law of Attraction. This trick is not really as magocal as one might imagine. We are bombarded with repetitive negative phrases in our thinking such as "I just can't get ahead", "I couldn't dodge the bullet", "I won't be the winner", "I don't have enough", etc. Are you guilty of continuously repeating negatives either in thoughts or words? Is your negative mind set pretty much representative of your current life situation? If your answer is YES, then Congratulations! You are living proof that the law of attraction works.

Why do we focus on our illnesses, our low-paying jobs, and our less than fulfilling relationships? We do so out of habit. Breaking the "attracting negatives" habit, just like any other bad habit will take some effort on your part. Especially so, if you have been dwelling on the negatives for years. Your parents might have taught you this behavior by being the role model of "criticism" or "negative language." If this is so, then they are likely mirroring behavior they learned from their parents, and so on back through the generations. Isn't it time to break this negative cycle? It is time to break the cycle.


The Story behind...
In modern times, one of the earliest known formulations of the Law in the Western hemisphere is contained in the 1906 book Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World by William Walker Atkinson, editor of New Thought magazine.

In March 2006 a film named The Secret reporting on the "Law of Attraction", gained much attention via internet video websites. The film was inspired by the producer's reading of the 1910 book The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, which in its introduction refers to the origins of the theory of the Law of Attraction as follows: "This theory is of origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for three hundred years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies, and those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel and Emerson….."
