Law of Attraction - Three-Mistakes People Make

If you don't think the Law of Attraction works - or works for you - you probably just don't fully understand this ancient wisdom. Even people who do claim to understand what the Law of Attraction is still make a few very common mistakes. Mistakes, where the Law of Attraction is concerned, are merely mis-perceptions - or, perceptions that don't give you quite the "view" you were hoping for.

The most common mistake people make is noticing, judging, and commenting on current conditions. Stating the obvious is not only unnecessary; it is a sure-fire way to create and experience more of the same conditions in the future. If you are using the Law of Attraction to your benefit, you are thinking and talking creatively and positively about what you want - not negatively about what you don't want.

Another common mistake people make is in thinking that the Law of Attraction is something they can turn-on and turn-off at will. Some people think that they can be negative and judgmental most of the time, and then utter a few "positive-words" about one of their desires and have it fall out of the sky. It doesn't work that way; there simply isn't a "switch" that allows you to be negative most of the time and have positive things happen to you on a regular basis.

The Law of Attraction is not the same as "Coulomb's Law;" it is probabl57Dy better described - if you must have a scientific basis for everything you do - by the "Law of Attraction" from Sympathetic Vibratory Physics. This "Law of Attraction" states that, "Juxtaposed coherent aggregates vibrating in harmony, or concordant ratio, are mutually attracted." In other words, opposites don't really attract; and, acting as if they do is another way people end up with chaotic and confused lives. Do not "oppose" that which you wish to attract; heed the words of Gandhi and "become the change you seek."

If you're learning, you're growing; so, truly there are no mistakes - only opportunities for new learning and growth. But, there are ways of thinking that are more productive, useful, beneficial, and effective uses of your time than stating the obvious, complaining, or being contrary. Look for opportunities to use Attraction in your favor, not by resisting or opposing, but by deciding to become a full-time attractor - always willing to receive that which you have set your mind and heart on. If you can stay in a non-judgmental state of positive expectancy, and not worry too much about "how" things should or might happen, you just might be surprised at how effective you can work with the Law of Attraction.

Harnessing The Law of Attraction in Love - Five Biggest Mistakes People Make

Mistake #1 - You are not clear enough and don't ask for what you REALLY want.

When you set an intention, or make a wish, or ask The Universe for what you want, you need to be absolutely clear about what you want. When you are wishy-washy with your asking, you get wishy-washy results. The more consistent you are in asking for the same thing over and over again, the more likely you are going to get it.

If I was to ask you right now, what kind of person are you asking The Universe to deliver to you, how many of you would be able to give me a list of specific attributes of the person you are looking for? We cover this in Chapter 2 in my eBook, Creating Your Fairytale love life where I give you a list of questions to answer to test whether you have really thought out your entire wish list.

Let me give you some examples. My friend Christina decided one day to write down a list of qualities and attributes that she wanted in an ideal love partner. It was after doing this simple exercise that she met her current husband Dusty and they are happily married. It only took three weeks from the time she wrote her wish list and when they met!

When I'm talking about qualities and attributes, I want you to get very specific. Although it is OK to write down, "I want a loving partner who values me and treats me well" it truly isn't specific enough in my opinion to create a magical relationship. Now, if you want to know what is specific, check out my wish list. I wrote my wish list to The Universe and I met my dream partner three months later. These are the qualities and attributes that I asked for:

1. I wanted him to be gorgeous and have a body that complimented mine as a skating partner.

2. I 5B4wanted him to be athletic and able to skate at my level or better.

3. I wanted someone who was intuitive and willing to express his feelings easily (which makes for an excellent on or off-ice partnership)

4. I wanted him to be about 5 foot nine or 5 foot 10 inches tall because it would be the ideal height for me to skate pairs.

5. I wanted him to accept moving to where I lived because I was sick and tired of moving every three years (which is what I did when I was with my ex-husband)

6. I wanted him to be handy around the house and like taking care of the house because I didn't.

7. I needed him to be a good cook and like cooking because I didn't like to cook, but I loved to eat!

8. I wanted him to be interested in personal growth and spirituality because it was important to me.

9. I wanted him to enjoy the pastimes I enjoyed including yoga, dance, music and of course, skating

10. I wanted him to be competitive with his skating so that we could skate at the national championships.

11. I deeply wanted for him to be a wonderful caregiver. I had always been the caregiver in my marriage and I really wanted a partner who knew how to take care of me for a change.

Now, James' list was simpler, but still very specific: He wished for a beautiful Asian woman who enjoyed drumming and would enjoy athletic pursuits. Most of all, he wished B68for someone who would be loving towards him. His ex-wife was not very affectionate and he felt deprived of love and affection through the nine years they were together. He wanted someone who he could hug, kiss and snuggle up with.

Notice how specific James and I were in our "wish list" to The Universe! Now there is a special technique that I cover in Chapter 2 of my book that converts your wish list into a format that the Universe can understand. We don't have time today to cover this, but in short, the technique converts your criteria from and "I want" status to an "I have" status...and the latter is the language of the Universe.

The second point is to really ask for what you want, not what you think you should want. It took me a while to get this. At first, I wanted a skating partner more than I wanted a love partner, so I only asked for a skating partner. Why? Because I didn't BELIEVE that I could have a both a skating partner and love partner in one person? It was such a rare possibility that I didn't allow the universe to create this reality for me. However, secretly I wanted both...but was too afraid to ask for both. I was getting mixed results until finally, I got the message. I needed to ask for EVERYTHING I wanted and get clear. Don't sell yourself short. Many people don't ask for what they really want because they don't believe they'd get what they want. I had to take a chance and I'm glad I did! Because James and I both got exactly what we asked for in a partner!

Mistake #2 - You have no passion for what you say you want.

To consciously use the law of attraction to manifest your ideal love partner takes energy and passion. If it were easy, everyone would be able to do it instantly. It isn't that it is hard, but it takes energy regardless. Think about an Olympic athletes for example. They train six days a week and the work very hard to attain their goals. The law of attraction responds to anything you put energy into.

So my question to you is this, how much energy are you currently spending in the area of manifesting your dream partner? How much time and/or money, if any, have you spent in learning from successful people in this arena so you can copy what they do? What are you thinking about most of the day? Your job? Your bills? How lonely you are?

You really need to put energy and focus into manifesting something you consider "big". You don't need as much energy to manifest things you consider "small". For example, whenever I see a patient in the office and think about their problems and start formulating a solution, I invariably come across an article or newsletter that deals exactly with the problem I am facing. I have come to expect it. So I don't really need a lot of energy to manifest this type of "help" from The Universe because it is "small" to me. The other example I have is that some weeks I'll have hole5B4s in my office schedule. If I want them filled with a patient, I will ask The Universe to fill it. Almost always, I get the holes filled, but only if I have enough energy. If I am tired, for whatever reason, the Universe will keep those holes there and I get to rest.

The last example is how I like to manifest the weather. The most common thing I will ask for is clear and safe driving conditions on a day that is supposed to be terrible weather. Now, 99% of the time, my request is granted as long as I have a vested interest in the weather being good. In other words, if it doesn't matter to me on a personal or financial level to have good weather, I most likely won't be able to change it. My ENERGY needs to be there in order for me to manifest the weather. When my friend in San Diego emailed me about the fires there months ago, I wanted to help. Because she lived there and there were threats of her having to evacuate, I had a lot of energy and power in wishing the weather to change. I asked her what was the most important and she told me that she needed the winds to die down so that the helicopters could douse the raging fires. Sure enough I asked for the winds to die down and they did so within about 24 hours. It was important to me to help my friend, so the Universe responded to my request based on the energy level that I exuded in this situation.

I have a good friend. I'll call him Carl. He is a very busy college student and5B4 yet he told me he wished he had a romantic partner. I knew one of the reasons why he couldn't manifest one. I've seen him in other relationships and when he gets busy at school, he just drops his partner like a hot stone. He doesn't think anything of not returning phone calls from a love prospect for weeks because he is thinking about school not romance most of the time. When someone becomes truly interested in him and wants to spend more regular time with him, he pulls away. My guess is that he thinks he wants a partner, but doesn't really have the time to devote to one.

Recently I had a letter from a young man who wrote and said that he wants to get a girlfriend with zero effort. That's exactly what he wrote - zero effort. Now that you know that it takes energy to manifest a love partner, you can guess that his changes are what? Yup, zero. If he is not willing to put some effort into manifesting a love partner, then the universe will match his efforts. It is the law of attraction. And besides, girls, would you want to be with a man who puts no effort into a relationship? I think not! You'd probably run in the other direction. Relationships take effort, but it doesn't mean it isn't a heck of a lot of fun in the process!

Bottom line - if you have no energy and passion for getting your dream partner, the Universe matches you with no results. The Universe always matches your energy input.

Mistake #3 - You don't reali5B4ze that you have conflicting wishes

Conflicting wants confuse The Universe. Say you want to be married and you are wishing to meet your future spouse, but at the same time completely and totally enjoy the freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want, you may have a conflicting wish. If your belief is that getting married will restrict your happiness and freedom, you will sabotage your efforts to manifest your dream partner. Say you want to get married, but your best friend is single and has expressed to you how much he/she loves to hang out with you every Friday night, you may feel "bad" about being partnered up and leaving your single friend high and dry Friday nights!

So what happens when you have two conflicting wants? The answer is this: when you have two conflicting wishes, the WISH or desire has a GREATER EMOTIONAL CHARGE will prevail. So in the examples I gave you - if you value your freedom MORE than your wish to get married, then you will not be able to find someone to marry and in the other example, if you feel really guilty about leaving your single friend to get married, then you'll sabotage your efforts to get hitched.

Here is the good news. If you are not getting results, think about what conflicting wishes you may have that are preventing you from getting what you want. In other words, ask yourself, What am I getting out of this situation? Once you've diagnosed your conflicting wishes then you c5B4an consciously decide which wish gets MORE energy. Where energy flows, results show...the law of attraction.

The "trick" and skill is to become as conscious as possible to all the different "wants" we can have in our lives. When we become conscious of our conflicting wants, then we can consciously CHOOSE one over the other

Mistake #4 - You stick to your belief system even though it isn't supporting you

I got a letter from a 22 year old man, I'll call him Paul, recently who believed that his only chance for love was to grow his height from 166 cm to 185 cm. He said to me "I can't believe that height isn't necessarily needed for love." Wow, I thought to myself. Here is a man who is an expert in the field of statistics, data mining, business and financial strategy - who clearly smart enough - and yet who refuses to believe that he can have a loving relationship because he is, in his mind, "too short" to be loved."

In Chapter 5 of my eBook, probably the most challenging process in the manifestation process is to uncover your emotions and beliefs that are literally blocking you from creating your dream. This young man would rather stick to his belief that he is too short to be loved than to entertain a new belief that there is no such thing as being too short to be loved. I told him that my good friend Garry, who is the same height as he is, is happily married to a woman who is several inches taller. Even with5B4 this PROOF that short people can find love, Paul completely ignores the possibility that he can be loved and thus continues manifesting the REALITY that no woman is in his life right now.

Marcus Aurelius once said, What a man can conceive and believe, he can achieve. The law of attraction states that what you believe you will manifest. If you believe you are too short, or too fat or too ugly or too poor to manifest a love partner, the Universe will make you RIGHT! You will create what you believe to be true. If you believe that all men are abusive, you will ONLY attract abusive men to your life! If paul believes that short people can't be loved, then he will attract women into his life that reject him because he is too short.

The Universe makes you RIGHT based on your beliefs. So I want to ask you, Paul, would you rather be RIGHT about being too short to be loved, or would you rather have a loving girlfriend. The choice is yours. Give up your belief about being too short and start believing that height has NOTHING TO DO WITH LOVE. Beliefs are just thoughts held to be true by you. They have power only to the extent that you believe in them. Change your thoughts and beliefs to change your life.

Mistake #5 - You have not made SPACE in your life for what you want to manifest.

This is one of the most common issues I see. As the saying goes, the Universe Abhors a vacuum. Basically what it means is that we have5B4 to create a vacuum in our lives in order for something new and wonderful to come along. Time and time again, I see that people are hanging on to an old relationship that just doesn't serve them fully and they can't let it go.

You know what it is? We are afraid of the void. We are afraid of the emptiness feeling. It is very scary for most of us, so we fill the empty space with "stuff", "junk" and sometimes people that aren't perfect. The philosophy is something like, "It is better to have somebody rather than nobody".

I went through this personally during my quest to manifest my perfect dream love skating partner. When I lost my first skating partner, Peter, I was devastated. I felt such an emptiness, it was as if I was experiencing the loss of a divorce or death. I had fallen in love with pairs figure skating and not being able to do it was so agonizingly painful, I was willing to do just about anything to get another partner.

Before I learned the system of manifesting I talk about in my eBook, Creating Your Fairytale Love Life, I wished for a new partner but immediately and without knowing that The Universe was going to help me in this quest, set about feverishly looking for another partner on line. It was months of trying out skating partners and at the same time dating different people (one was a skater, the others not), that I realized that I had created a complex life and still didn't have the perfect skating par5B4tner!

When I decided to stop dating new people and focus my efforts on getting a skating partner was when things started to turn around. There were two potential skating partners who were willing to skate with me but I didn't feel the right chemistry...so instead of hanging on to them, I decided to let them both go. I said no. I was afraid I made the wrong decision because two time Olympic Gold Medalist in Pairs, Ludmilla Protopov said to me once about one of my try-out partners, "Well, he isn't perfect for you...but having a partner is better than not having one at all".

So I dared to not heed her advice. Instead, as I realized later after I learned the manifestation system, I created a vacuum. I began really enjoying being single and rejuvenated my singles skating. In fact, I ended up winning an international gold medal as a single skater. Within about a month and a half of that, I met James, my dream partner.

Same thing happened to him after his divorce. James was so needy (he told me I could use that word) and desperate for love after his divorce that he aggressively pursued women to the point that they got sick of his neediness and didn't return his phone calls. At last, out of frustration, he asked God for help. He asked God to bring him the right person. Then he sat back and stopped pursuing women. He just created space and stuck to enjoying his drumming practice - his passion. It was a few short months after he5B4 "let go, let God", that I came into his life.

So if you have an old boyfriend or girlfriend you still hang around a lot, you may wish to distance yourself to create space. It doesn't mean you can't remain friends, but there is healthy space and then there is unhealthy closeness. If you really want someone new, you have to create space. Same goes for old feelings that are related to another relationship. We cover this is Chapter 5 when I talk about Obstacles. If you haven't forgiven someone that has hurt you in the past, you are taking up valuable emotional space in your life, and the Universe will have no room to give you what you want.

In Chapter 6 called Creating Your Vacuum, there is a life Vacuum Quiz you can take to gauge how much available space you have in your life for new things to come in - then we work on strategies to create more space in your life.

Creating Your Vacuum is absolutely the number one step that I see that is no one wants to do in the manifestation process! But it is essential.

Buddhist Texts

Mind Power - Attracting Abundance

What is the fuel behind the drive of a person that has successfully created a life of abundance for themselves and that fuel was and still is their mind power and the belief they have in it. A belief in that they deserved abundance and they believe they can have it.

Your belief system is going to determine if the Law of Attraction is going to work for you in a positive way. It is always working, it never stops working, its just a matter of it is going to work positive or negative for you and it's your belief system and your mindset that is going to be the determining factor. Never underestimate the importance of the power of the mind plays in the attraction factor.

We all like to believe that we can attract all the abundance and we can but for many it's that little inner voice of negativity that has been programmed into all of us growing up and through bad experiences of past failures. The power of the mind and our min2238d set is very important in using the universal laws of attraction to our benefit.

All of us at one time or another has needed to rid ourselves of these negative blocks that prevents us from using the law of attraction and the sooner we are able to harness our mind power for our benefit the sooner you will reap the rewards and create abundance in your life.

Just remember that this little voice is doing nothing but reinforcing old beliefs that you created from past events that you do not have to believe anymore about yourself because you are creating a new you with new beliefs. Here are 3 quick things you can do to jumpstart your new belief system.

First speak positive things about yourself. When that negative voice starts talking to you quickly reverse everything it is saying to you. If its saying you can't do this, you will just fail again quickly say to yourself repeatedly I can do this cause I am a winner! Just like the cassette tapes of old when we were tired of listening to what we had previously recorded we would just record over them, do that with that negative voice, record over it with positive messages and the more you do this your new voice will become stronger and stronger in the positive tone it will speak in.

Second you need to reward your accomplishments. No matter how small how mundane you might think it is just do it. Congratulate yourself for any little thing and before long you will start accomplishing bigger task. If it's as simple as getting out of bed the first time the alarm clock sounds instead of hitting the snooze pat yourself on the back. It is the small basic things like this that set a firm foundation to build on.

Third believe that you deserve abundance in your life. Repeat to yourself daily throughout the day that I deserve abundance. I deserve wealth. I deserve happiness. Whatever you wish for boldly proclaim you deserve it.

Remember this is not going to be an overnight thing. You did not develop all of your bad habits and negative thought patterns overnight so you should not expect overnight results. It takes time but if you stick to the steps outlined here as a starting point and build upon what you have learned here today you will see amazing things start to happen in your life when you focus on using your mind power to bring about the changes you wish for in your life.

The Law Of Attraction In Real Estate Investing

Are you familiar with the Law of Attraction? Basically, it means that what we think about, comes about. What we focus on, we create. On both the good days and the bad days, the results are because of what we think about.

What does this have to do with real estate investing? Everything.

Can you see yourself as a successful investor? Can you see yourself taking action over the next 60 days that will result in a strong start in your invA26esting career?

If you can see it and believe it, you can accomplish it. If you cant see it happening for you, it wont. Henry Ford said, Whether you think you can, or think you cant, youre right.

If its that simple, and I believe it is, then you might as well believe that your goals are within your grasp. They are.

The only thing that stands between and man and what he wants from life is often the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible. Richard M. DeVos

Brian Tracey is a sales-trainer and motivation speaker. I once heard him say that if you were to write down you goals and put them in your coat pocket and forget them an amazing thing would happen. If you picked up that coat again a year later and pulled out the list, youd discover that you had accomplished 80% of what you wrote down.

There is power in writing down your goals. You engage the universe in assisting you in the accomplishment of those goals. You subconscious mind goes to work in a powerful way to move you toward your goals.

The funny thing is that only about 3 percent of the population takes the time to write down their goals. If you will set aside just a little bit of time to write down your goals and then focus on those goals, the law of attraction to bring them to pass in your life.

The Missing Secret of the Law of Attraction

What's the missing secret to the law of attraction? - You think it would be obvious!

Now I know what you are thinking; "...not another article on the Law of Attraction!" I too am starting to feel a little saturated by the continuous onslaught of information surfacing on this age-old idea. There is truth and value to the principles of the Law of Attraction and it can work in your life, however, one important principle has been left out of the "secret" to the law of attraction

There have been movies made about it and countless professional speakers are now adapting their presentations and seminars to include the teachings and principles of the Law of Attraction. One very powerful principle is being seriously overlooked by many who are trying to perfect the application of this law with results that include discouragement and disappointment instead of the dreams and wishes they'd ordered.

"People think it's magic. They think as long as they are holding thoughts about all the 'stuff' they want, it will appear in front of them. They believe that someone will come along and hand them their dreams neatly wrapped in a pretty box," says Ryan Porter, a professional speaker and creator of the Make Your Own Lunch program. Ryan explains, "People seem to miss the majority of the word; ACTION! The Law of AttrACTION is nothing without action!"

This idea of an individual's vision needing action to be effective has been around for thousands of years. Do you recall this phrase from the Bible, "Faith without works is dead"?

It is, of course, crucial that you have a clear vision of what you want but it is just as important to take action. Taking action gives you power and control of your dreams and vision. Move forward with dedication and commitment to get what you want.

Ryan explains the two-part process, "It's like ordering food at a drive-thru window. First you have to approach the drive-thru speaker and place your order into the microphone. Then you have to actually take action and drive to the window to pick it up. Your order doesn't magically appear in your car - you have to go and get it. Many people forget half of the equation and end up with feelings of failure. This equation works every time without exception. Place your order then go and pick up your dreams!"

The action doesn't have to be drastic or difficult but without it you are simply daydreaming. The formula is spelled out in the word and it is called the Law of AttrACTION for a reason.

Start taking action today! Your dreams are waiting for you. "Please drive through to the first window and pick up your order"

Is Viral Negativity Affecting the Law of Attraction in Your Life?

What exactly is viral negativity in the Law of Attraction? How about we give you an example of how it works.

Let's say you go to a get together with a group of your friends. At this get together, there is one couple missing that usually attends every time. You ask where the couple is and one of your friends says, "You haven't heard? Jack and Angie broke up last week. They've been together for over three years and Angie found out that he had a mistress. She is so broken hearted. Jack was so mean to her. He left the house and has filed for divorce. He's living with his mistress." Well, to say the least, you are shocked. You thought for sure that Jack and Angie would stay together forever.

So on your way home from the party, you and your significant other talk about Jack and Angie. You are upset at the fact that you trusted Jack and he cheated on his wife. You wonder if this would ever happen to you but you dismiss it because you know it wouldn't. You've decided not to put anymore energy to the subject.

When you get home, the phone rings.5B4 It's your sister. She asked how your party went and you tell her it went fine but that you found out how rotten a friend of yours was. You relive the situation again and tell it to your sister. "But it doesn't matter. I'll let it go. I just can't believe that they separated," you tell your sister.

You head to work the next day and in the car you get a return phone call from your sister. "I just wanted to let you know that a friend of a friend knows Angie and said she is just heartbroken." You get off the phone and you're thinking about how hard this must be for Angie.

You're at work and you seem upset. A co-worker asks if you are okay and you relay the whole story to him. He tells you that he knew of a couple that had happened to and it was just as hard on the friends as on the couple.

You find at the lunch hour that this co-worker had talked to another co-worker about why you were upset. They come over to talk to you about it and you just continue to be upset and decide to call Angie when you get home.

This whole scenario is what is called 'viral negativity'. You take a negative situation that is either yours or someone else's and beat it into the ground. You relive the feelings and thoughts over and over again. You tell your friends, you tell your sister, you tell your co-worker how upset it makes you. Then they begin to talk to their friends or family and the viral negativity continues. This c5B4an spread everywhere. This is viral negativity.

So how much are you contributing to viral negativity? And how does this affect applying the Law of Attraction intentionally? It depends on how much viral negativity you are responsible for and how much feeling and thought is going into the negative situation.

It's best just not to be a part of a negative situation and spread the negative news. Each thought and feeling you have brings you a similar thought and feeling right back to you through the Universe. When you become a part of viral negativity you are hurting yourself and the others involved. You can't possibly know what someone is going through unless you walk a mile in their shoes. Once you have walked in their shoes (and you just might, if you spread viral negativity), you will have a better understanding of what that person is going through. Nothing is ever as it seems. Only what our own perception sees.

Don't spread negativity. Change the perception and it will change the circumstances of your life through the Law of Attraction. And keep this in mind... It takes the same amount of time to spread viral POSITIVITY, and in the process of doing that, you just may find the solution for yourself, or your friends - no matter what the problem.

The Law of Attraction and Children

To see how best to apply the Law of Attraction to produce desired results in our lives, all we need to do is look to the maestros of this process - children.

Children are inclined to accept the Law of Attraction without much trouble or resistance at all. They are used to Asking for what they're want, Accepting that their asking is to be satisfied by a power outside themselves, and Allowing their requests to be granted.

Children aren't caught up like adults in cycles of self-loathing or un-deservingness. Neither have they been conditioned to think that the only way to have anything is to go out and get it themselves.

Their attitude in life, as depending on parental figures, requires that they trust forces external of themselves, forces they do not understand, to provide for their fulfillment. They accept that, and behave accordingly - asking for what they want and then waiting for it to be given, with no shred of doubt about the fact that they deserve having everything they ask for.

At some point these sensibilities are trained out of us (or squeezed out of us, in the worst of cases), but we each came into this world already knowing and applying the Law of Attraction flawlessly.

Ask a child what they want and you'll probably become worn out just listening to the list. Kids aren't shy about telling you exactly what they want, and all of it. They have not developed yet the devices we adults use to refuse ourselves even the feelings of desire. They have no shame about wanting what they want. Nor do they have any concept of what being "realistic" or "selfish" means. Nothing can diminish their wholehearted knowing that fulfillment of their every want is not just entirely possible, but probable too. That all comes later.

Until then, however, a child won't let one small disappointment dissuade them from a subsequent fulfillment. And a kid doesn't kid themselves either into believing that they have any power to go out and get their desires met other than by asking for it and waiting for someone (or something) else to make it happen for them.

Children live in the moment, in that all-powerful present that we adults have to struggle so hard to find and stay in for more than a few minutes or seconds at a time. Children aren't burdened by fears and traumas of the past, nor by worries about the future. They are in the here and now - in the perfect position for The Law of Attraction to work its magic. No wonder kids are perceived as having such easy, happy, blessed lives. They do! They are naturally positive, confident, light-hearted, and carefree. And their desires match this vibrational frequency. So they deserve to have it easy, to feel happy, to be blessed. And so they are.

Perhaps one way to recall this state within yourself is to start treating yourself as you would a child you were responsible for. That is to say, with tenderness, support and encouragement, positive reinforcement, and most importantly unconditional love and forgiveness.

By cultivating these states of being within yourself, you will start to experience a reactivating of that innocent sense of trusting and surrender that is innate in every child.

The Real Secret Of Attraction

What is the secret of attraction? You probably know this has become one of the hottest new ideas in self improvement and spirituality. But it isn't a new idea. It is just the newest way to recycle an old idea. Old or new, the important questions are does it work as claimed, and why?

A "Law" Of Attraction?

Here is the basic idea: You attract more of what you think about. Keep thoughts about getting rich in your mind constantly, and money will come your way. Continually imagine the perfect woman, and soon she will appear at your side. It is often presented like this. Of course, years ago, in previous incarnations, it was more common to teach this idea as part of general goal-setting techniques, where it was assumed that you would also be taking relevant actions to achieve your goals. In this latest version, the action part is glossed over, almost as if it isn't necessary.

Naturally, we like the idea of easy ways to get what we want, and of simple "laws" that can help us. Our knowledge of the laws of nature and mathematics allowed men to fly to the moon. Wouldn't it be great if we could discover infallible "laws" of self improvement and success? Simple formulas that get us anything we want - I like that. But "laws" like these tend to be mere probabilities unfortunately.

How inspiring is "the probability of attraction?" Not very. "Think these thoughts and you'll improve your odds of getting what you want" just doesn't sell the books as well as "Think these thoughts and your success is guaranteed by the ultimate laws of reality." But enough of poking fun at the sellers of mystical certainties - let's look at how this really works.

Is The Reticular Cortex The Secret Of Attraction?169C

The reticular cortex is a small organ in your brain, a kind of "gatekeeper" that directs incoming stimulus to your conscious or unconscious mind. With your thoughts and what you focus on, you more or less instruct it as to what to bring to your attention. For example, if you start studying flowers, you will likely start to see flowers all over that you never previously noticed. You essentially instructed your reticular cortex to let in anything about flowers and related information.

Keep your thoughts focused on money, and this part of your brain will make you more aware of things related to money, even possibly opportunities to make some money. Imagine meeting the woman of your dreams repeatedly, and you'll probably become aware of more opportunities for this to happen. This is one way in which the brain works, and we can use such "attraction techniques" to help us get what we want.

But the important, if uninspiring word here, is "probably". If you start to believe that such "secrets" always work, you will likely give up on the idea when you fail, or blame yourself (you just didn't have enough faith, right?). Neither of these is a very productive approach to getting what you want. It is better to accept that sometimes things work and sometimes they don't, and that if you keep trying in ways that increase the probabilities of success, you'll almost certainly achieve your goals more often.

Focus on your goals then, because it does increase the probabilities of success, by putting the reticular cortex to work. However, you should also learn what you need to learn, and do what you need to do to get what you want. Getting your mind AND your actions working towards that goal is the real secret of attraction.

Opinions And The Law Of Attraction

I don't know how many times I used to listen to other people's opinions in a decision I was making for my life. I would get phone calls from family or friends who were always putting in their two cents. When I found the Law of Attraction, I realized how many people were getting a say in how I create my world. Ultimately it was my choice to take the advice or not, but looking at hindsight, I can see where my life was headed and I didn't like it.

When most people are giving you their opinion, they are trying to help you. Maybe they think that their way is the best way. But because one way works for one person, doesn't necessarily mean it works for you.

Many times I would hear my gut instinct tell me what to do and I wouldn't listen. Instead I would defer to the instincts of others when I should have been listening to my own.

It's important when you are making decisions about your life to listen to your intuition. Someone who tells you that they know best, may know best for them, but you are the creator of your world and unless you truly trust and know that someone is going to give you sound advice, stick with your own.

If you are confused about a decision, see what result is that you would like and give up the how to the Universe. Once you see a solution and you give it up to the Universe, pay attention to any dreams or signs you may receive throughout the week. And yes, the Universe may bring someone into your life to help you with your decision but you will feel wonderful about their advice unlik5B4e the feeling you find when someone tells you what to do and it doesn't feel right.

You are here to create your world. Remember that if you are one who loves to tell others your opinion. There is no need to try and create their world and yours as well. When you are trying to control another's world through opinion, your opinion will attract to you through the Universe. Even if it is well meaning, opinion comes out as a control vibration. I don't know about you but I sure don't want the Universe bringing me more situations to have to try and control.

If your opinion is giving someone hope or encouragement, than this is a different story. When your advice comes surrounded by love and support, it is no longer an opinion. It is compassion.

Once a decision has been made with or without someone else's help, stick to it. And if perchance it wasn't the right decision, leave regret behind. Regretful feelings attract more things to regret. Regret belongs right up there with fear and doubt as far as the Law of Attraction goes. Each day is a brand new day to create. If yesterday's decision didn't work out for you, you always have today to make a new decision. Learn from your experience and move on as soon as you can so that those vibrations of the feelings of failure don't hang around. Truly there is no failure, this is a perception of a result. You are an incredible human being and we are in this together. We are5A4 all learning from past experiences.

So next time you have one of those controlling friends or family start telling you how to run your life, just let them know that you appreciate their opinion but you have to do this one on your own. And next time you have a well meaning friend or family member give you support, tell them how much you appreciate their love and maybe listen to what they have to say. Extrapolate what you want out of the given opinion and then go about creating your own world.

Aesop

Why Did That Manifest?

Do you ever stop and ask yourself how or why you just manifested something completely unwanted?

The scratch on the car.

The negative person or situation.

The delayed mail you were expecting.

Whenever you stop and ask yourself "how did t5B4hat happen?", you may be completely correct in your initial assumptions. Maybe you were getting too attached the car and wanted it to look so nice that you manifested a scratch.

You could be correct. Then again, you might be no where near the truth of it.

By placing your attention on the "how's" and "why's" you're just giving more attention to the unwanted thing. When you give something your focus and attention for long periods of time, you're going to manifest more of what you're thinking about.

Instead of getting yourself all worked up by the unwanted circumstance, remove your attention from it and be OK with whatever has happened. If you observe anyone's life, be it a Zen master, a Law of Attraction guru or just your next door neighbour, you will quickly see that everyone, regardless of who they are, experience unwanted circumstances.

When you truly realize that no one lives a so called 'perfect' life, you can more easily let go of the bad things and start to see it as what life deals you. Life will constantly deal you all sorts of hands. Usually when bad things are happening, they happen to help you grow and to become more consciously aware. So in actual fact, you can begin to see all of these negatives as positives in the long run.

Once you've gotten yourself to the place where it doesn't matter whether you attract something unwanted or not, that is when you will begin truly living a life worth living.A99

Here's a couple of additional ways in which you can practice letting go of the "why's" when something unwanted happens to you next time...

Become Present - Live your life in this moment and not the past. It's easier said than done, but if you take a second to think about it, NOW is all you ever have. Yesterday and tomorrow do not exist. The only thing that exists is... right now. Right now is all that will ever exist.

Take your attention away from the past (what has happened) or the future (what will happen) and place your attention on NOW. When you live in the present, you have no use for thoughts that are in the past. So the question "why did that manifest?" won't even be of any significance to you since you're living in the present and not the past.

Observe Something Wanted - As I mentioned earlier in this article, by giving your attention to something UNWANTED, you will begin to attract more of it. One of the best ways to forget about unwanted things and to remove your attention from the unwanted things is to simply look at something you DO want or something you DO enjoy.

So in the example that your car got scratched, instead of focussing on the scratch, go inside the car where you can't see it and enjoy the inner surroundings of the car. Take it for a drive and enjoy the feelings you get from driving your car. Do whatever it takes to remove your attention from it (usually means separating yourself from the incident) and bring your attention to wanted things that you enjoy.

This will ultimately help you attract more of what you want, and less of what you don't.

How To Use The Law of Success

Let us start today with a statement of the obvious. You desire to be a success; it is your aim in life to be a success. Of course you want to do this in the easiest and most comfortable manner possible, and unfortunately for you there is no easy way that you can find.

So, we start with a most excellent saying that I have printed on a poster in my house, a quote from Napoleon Hill;

"You may not like the work in which you are now engaged...

There are two ways of getting out of that work. One way is to take but little interest in what you are doing, aiming merely to do enough with which to "get by." Very soon you will find a way out, because the demand for your services will cease.

The other and better way is by making yourself so useful and efficient in what you are now doing that you will attract the favorable attention of those who have the power to promote you into more responsible work that is more to your liking.

It is your privilege to take your choice as to which way you will proceed."

So what does this mean? In short it means to be able to use the Law of Success, you have to try! You have to exert effort; you have to put forth your intention and your ability to do more than the other person. You have to be willing to do the work that others will not do, to go the extra inch is all it takes, and if you can go the extra mile all the better.

You are reminded of the importance of this, through which you may avail yourself of this "better way" of promoting yourself. The extra things you do will make you stand out, be recognized and then bring on a series of events that will lift you to the levels of success that you desire. This success will not drop into your lap, nor will it be handed to you. You will have to work for it.

Discovery of your success is but a matter of investigation and the use of your imagination. What you are looking for is almost under your nose right now. With this information you may well be pleasantly surprised when you discover that you were standing right over this hidden success, in the work in which you are now engaged.

Success is simply a matter of adjusting your self to the ever changing environments of life, while maintaining dignity, harmony and poise. Harmony is based upon understanding of the forces constituting one's environment. It is therefore, to interpret, understand and make the most of these environmental forces of life.

The successful people on earth have all had to correct certain character flaws before they began to succeed. The most common flaws that stand between people and success are intolerance, avarice, greed, jealousy, miserliness, revenge, egotism, selfishness, conceit, vanity, hatred and the poor habit of spending more money than they earn.

Modify yourself so that you do not display these traits and you will thrive, you will enjoy success. However you must recognize now, rather than later, that you are the one responsible for you, and it is only you that must make the effort. Nobody else, no one else, can take action for you and you enjoy the rewards.

Let us use an example; you probably have a favorite store, probably because they are more pleasing and more attractive to you. In any other part of the city in many other stores you could purchase merchandise of similar nature and price, yet you will find there is always one outstanding store which does more business than any of the others. The reason for this is that in back of that store is5B4 a man, or woman who has attended to the personalities of those who come in contact with the public. People buy personalities as much as the merchandise, and the store is successful as the customers are influenced more by the personalities that they come in contact with than they are by the merchandise.

Your business in life, or at least the most important part of it, is to achieve success. Success; your purpose in life is the attainment of your dreams without violating the rights of other people. Regardless of what your definition of success in life may be, you will attain it with much less difficulty after you learn how to cultivate a pleasing personality.

There are but two more points to cover, the first you have probably heard many times but have failed to heed the advice; "You Can Do It if You Believe You Can!" As we have covered before your beliefs influence your actions, and your actions determine your quality of life. It may seem overly simple but you must change your beliefs to change your life. You do deserve a good life, but it will not come on a silver platter delivered to your doorstep, you will have to go out and find it for yourself and with a bit of effort bring it home with you.

The last point for today is the never ceasing concept of having a dream. Without a dream, a goal, you have nothing to aim for, no direction to move in. Like having a plane ticket with no destination you do not know what pl4D7ane to get on to start the journey. Decide today what your dream is, write it down so you do not forget, and begin your journey to success. With a dream to move you and some personal effort you can have and be anything you desire.

The Law Of Attraction - It Does Not Work

At least not the way it is being taught by the thousands of people on The Secret bandwagon.

Let me explain. If I think about having a million dollars in the bank, will it happen just by my focusing on it? I do not think so.

If I dream about a date with Pamela Anderson, I can make 5B4it happen. Not likely.

Even with the examples above, does the law of attraction make sense?

Sure.

It helps you get clear.

It helps you focus.

It starts the process of moving towards what you want and moving you away from what you do not want.

So why does it not work for everyone.

Good question. If I know I would be teaching that and making millions.

But let me tell you what I know about the law of attraction from my personal experience.

Many people spend all day thing about what they want. This is good. But they do not think through what it will take to reach their wants; they never turn it into a goal.

Let assume the goal is to make a million dollars.

How can I make a million dollars?

I need to understand what I can provide to others that would inspire them to buy from me? How much do I need to sell and at what price?

I think it was Zig Ziglar who said find out what people want and give it to them.

So what do people want that I can provide?

How do I know they will buy from me? How do I know it has value? What is that value?

I need to do my research and determine what people want. I need to determine what I can provide. I need to determine what I am going to give up to achieve my goal.

If you are not getting the desired results, what are you going to give up so you can replace this nonproductive behavior with a more productive beh5B4avior? Einstein was correct when he said doing the same things over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. What insane behavior are you keeping? What do you need to change to achieve you goal.

What steps are you going to take? Will you give up two hours of television a day and use this time to do research, learn a new skill or create plan?

What education do you need?

What people do you need to meet?

What skills do you need to develop?

Does the law of attraction work?

Yes, I think it does provided..

You clearly define the outcome you want

You set a date on when it will happen

You understand the value you provide to achieve you desired outcome

You take action...

and you are emotionally invested in the outcome

I once hear the term used called inspired action. I think it was James Ray who first introduced me into that term.

I think inspired action is critical to any kind of meaningful achievement, especially if you are using the law of attraction.

If you are not inspired (emotionally invested in the outcome) you will not take action.

If you decide to take action, you will not stick to you course of action when thing get difficult unless you are inspired.

You will not learn the skills necessary or surround yourself with the right people without inspired action.

You will not get out of 16ADyour comfort zone to take action unless you are inspired.

So how do you answer all these questions? It is easy to discuss them in an article but how do you answer them.

I can only tell you what worked for me. I dont know if this will work for you but I found the answer in a question. Not just any question, but in a very powerful way the question is asked.

If we ask the question How can I? the mind has a tendency to focus on one specific outcome. It tries to answer the question how.

If we ask this question: how the chicken can cross the road? we stop when we answer it. The chicken can cross the road by walking across.

If we change the question to: in what ways can the chicken cross the road? we are now open to different possibilities.

The chicken can cross the road by walking, flying, running, hitching a ride, etc This type of question allows the mind to be open for possibility. You start to see things in an entirely different light. Ask yourself this question and have a pencil and paper ready to record the different answers. This question is most effective in a group. I have seen some powerful answers to some difficult questions materialize.

I have successfully (occasionally) used the law of attraction. When I analyze why it worked for me, I determined two very important things. The first is the way I asked the question. It is not how, but in what ways. The second aspect that is critical for me is a strong emotion attachment to a specific outcome. Let me give you an example.

Several years ago I lost my job. Shortly after I lost my job my wife was in a traffic accident. Her 10 year old van was totaled. She was not hurt but the van was destroyed. Since I was not working I was really worried about spending money on another vehicle even though I knew we needed two vehicles. I did have insurance but the pay-out was too low to replace the car. I was looking at a significant cash outlay to replace this vehicle.

I knew I needed to do something but I was so afraid to act. So afraid I got myself tied up in a knot. After a week of no sleep and lots of anxiety I decide I needed to do something. I had a few requirements: it has to be newer so I was not being nickled and dimed on repairs and it had to be safe (since my wife would drive it.)

Finally I started looking for a good used car.

I went to a car dealer and looked at used cars. I settled on a Ford Taurus. The price was $8500. I thought I was ready to buy. At the last minute I chickened out and left the dealer ship without making a purchase. On my drive home I know I needed to trust myself and since I believed in the universal law of attraction, I needed to trust that as well. I actually told myself if I really believed this I needed to buy this car and trust everything would work itself out. After all, if I took out a long enough note my payment would be fairly low.

About an hour later, I called the sales representative and told him I would be up to sign the papers after lunch. Before I went back to the card dealership I met some people for lunch. It was then I received the surprise of my life. One person at the table gave me a car. Yes, they gave it to me. It was even a Ford Taurus. Her husband had recently died and she wanted a car that was not so big.

I do not suggest you take this course of action.

Why?

I think the reason that car manifested was because I had a very strong emotion about addressing this problem, I took action, I did my research and I was very clear on the outcome I wanted. I trusted the process and I took action.

I want to spend a minute on why you should not do what I did.

I spent days worrying about where I was going to get the money. I did not sleep for a week prior to making my decision. I asked myself in what ways could I. before I settled on the course of action. I got my wife involved in the decision and told her my thought process. I did want her to think I had a stack of money somewhere. We were in this together and if she did not agree I was not going to do it.

Needless to say it worked out for me in that situation but it could have back fired. I must say there are other situations where it did not work out. It is not fool proof: at least not for me not yet anyway.

There are some great ideas and some great teacher doing some great things but go into this with your eyes wide open. You need to go along and create your law of attraction with clarity of purpose, inspired action and a well thought out plan.

There are no shortcuts.

Your Heart's Desire

"Allowing," in relation to the Law of Attraction is a difficult thing to describe because it's a state of being, rather than a state of doing. It's a process of letting go any effort to control what happens around you and instead letting the universe work on your behalf.

Staying in a state of allowance can be challenging for some people because they are so used to taking action in order to get what they want. Allowing your heart's desires may seem contrary to this approach, but it's really just a matter of taking different actions and choosing the right mind-set.

Below you will find some simple steps to help you move easily into a state of allowing.

Sit in silence.

Meditation is the quickest and easiest way to get into a state of allowance because it places you immediately into the process of observing and being, rather than doing. As you focus on letting go of fear and frustration, you invite a flood of inner peace and acceptance to replace them. This mind-set dissolves blockages and removes resistance, which leaves only . . . allowance!

Do what you love as often as possible.

Allowing is not just about getting something you want, but rather learning to open to the natural flow of joy, passion and abundance that is available to you at all times. When you do what you love, you automatically attract a flood of positive energy into your life. Yes, this can definitely help you attract something you want, but it also sets you up to receive a lot more than you asked for. Rather than just receiving one thing you wanted, you find yourself in a constant state of surprise and joy as more and more wonderful things come your way.

Think positively.

This should be a no-brainer, because most of us are fully aware of the benefits of positive thinking. However, don't limit your positive thinking in relation to your immediate goal only! Learn to develop a true positive thinking habit, and spread it evenly through your entire life. Think positively, 5B4speak positively and act positively as often as possible. You'll feel happier, increase the frequency of your energy and stay in a consistent state of allowance.

Have unwavering faith.

Many of us tend to flip-flop between immense faith and overwhelming doubt. Our faith is strong when everything is going fine but as soon as we run into problems, doubt knocks us off-center. The true test of faith is being able to hold it while in the midst of difficulty! It may not be easy, but remember that having faith is a choice. You can choose to believe and know that everything will be fine, or you can choose to believe it won't. When challenges come knocking on your door, choose your mind-set wisely.

Detach completely.

Most of us tend to revert back to childish antics when we want something. We figure if we can just nag the universe to death, it will give in and give us what we want. So we keep meditating and praying and visualizing. We spend hours mentally begging for what we want, and obsess about it constantly. This is not allowing - it is clinging and grasping! The universe heard your request the first time, so there is no need to keep asking. Instead, remember that time may be needed before it will show up, or it's also possible that you won't get what you asked for - but you might get something much better!

Be open to whatever comes your way, knowing with all of your heart that it will be absolutely p3CFerfect in every way.

Letting Go

When I woke up this morning, I had every intention of having a wonderful day. Then I crawled out of bed.

I stepped on a toy that had been left on the floor and then there wasnt any hot water. Go figure. Okay, I said to myself, I will start the day again and I will have a good day.

Maybe I should have stayed in bed.

I went downstairs and the cat had been sick; by the looks and s5B4mell of it, apparently all night long. My husband was sitting at the table waiting for his breakfast and avoiding the cat mishaps by putting his feet up on the chair next to him. Go figure.

I gritted my teeth and muttered once again, I am going to have a good day.

Did you say something honey? my restaurant customer asked innocently. Are you having a hard morning?

As I was taking the whole roll of paper towels to clean up Donkeys accidents, I growled to Lee, Yes, I am having a hard morning. I dont want to admit that, but yes.

Hey, Babe, just let it go. The feelings I mean. Let them go. They arent doing anything for you. Ill get breakfast.

So Mr. Saint decides to make breakfast and I soften. I realize that my husband was my sage this morning. Just let it go. How true is that?

Its amazing what can happen to your day and your life when you do decide to just let situations or things go. It truly is that easy. And letting go gives you the chance to start again, as many times as you want. Why hang on to the angry frustrated feelings when letting go can make them all go away.

Lee, by just saying the words let it go with no judgment provided a freeing feeling for me. I had put so much pressure on having a good day that I seemed bound and determined to make the day exactly the opposite. Another example of the Law of Attraction.

Letti5B4ng go is an amazing feeling. When you are trying to control situations around you and you seem to be fighting against an invisible force, the act of letting go breaks the control hold.

Are there situations that you can let go today? Maybe the barista at the local coffee shop gets your coffee wrong for the fifth day in a row? Send the coffee back again and then let it go. Dont relive the situation over and over by retelling every colleague at work. You are only confirming that it will happen once again. Just let it go. Dont repeatedly speak of the mistake. Truly let it go. You will be amazed by the results as your week moves forward.

The Law of Attraction will work just exactly as you feel, and letting go is a great start.

Looking back on my morning, while I believed I was determined to have a good day, in fact I woke up with a chip on my shoulder. Once circumstances started attracting to me the way I was feeling, the feeling of injustice and crabbiness came back to me. Even though I was saying and thinking I was going to have a great day, my feelings were what got the day moving in the direction I did not want it to go.

Lee was the one, with that little phrase, who snapped me back into my reality. Let the control go, let the chip on the shoulder go, let the feelings of injustice go, let the crabbiness go, and look toward the feelings that can make your day a whole lot better: love and kindness598.

So I gave Lee a peck on the cheek and told him how much I appreciated him, (even though I do wish he had cleaned up Donkeys accidents) and I picked up my little black feline who seemed to be feeling much better now. I love your furry legs. He gave a little mew and licked my nose. I let go the bad smell of his breath and gave him a squeeze, right about the time Lee called out from the other room, indignant. Furry legs! I dont have furry legs!

Thanks to letting go, I was going to have a good day after all.

Law Of Attraction - Why Most Of The Metaphysical Stuff Out There Doesn't Work

Here it is: it's because you really don't want to change. I don't want to change. People, in general, don't really want to change. Yeah, it's that simple.

Most systems work for somebody, up to a point. However, most systems don't work for most people.

You can usually find where a program s5B4tops working for you by looking at what was going on when you lost interest. Yes, haul out all those books and tape and CD sets. You probably started out with enthusiasm, doing the exercises and really thinking about the content. But if you're like most people, there will be some point where you felt less excited, you started skimping on the exercises or maybe quit reading or listening altogether.

This is why there's that workshop bump - you go to a workshop and (since you paid for it!) you hang on till the end. You actually feel like you've changed, that great things are going to happen from now on.

But a few weeks later, just like in the sitcoms, everything is "back to last Thursday."

Why the heck is that?

Chances are, when you get right down to it, you like being you. And you resist change because you won't be you anymore.

Your personal self-help-system archaeology can help. Look at where you usually stop. Is there something in common? I tend to drop a system when the author's personal judgements about what kind of changes I should be making kick in.

I remember reading a beautiful little gem of a book with wonderful visualizations; later I wondered why I'd never finished it, and went back to it and found the bookmark. It was right about where the author said you shouldn't visualize for anything that wasn't for the highest good, and it couldn't be just something selfish, it had to be in service to o5B4thers too.

Gahh! It's not that I don't want what I want to also work out for others, it's just that it's not my job to decide what's best for anyone but me. And it's certainly not up to the author to decide (which he did, at length) what sort of things one should be all visualizy about, and what sort of things were off-limits.

Foo. Ruined a perfectly good pile-o-techniques, at least for me.

Now, that's me, that's the kind of thing I react to. If I think I'm being pushed, that a teacher or author has a particular agenda that they're not totally upfront about, I check out. Your mileage will vary, but if you're having problems making a system stick for you, look around for your own check-out triggers.

Now, let's get back to identity. You don't want to change who you are? That's good news! Many self-help programs start with the implicit belief that you're a pathetic loser in one way or another. If you resist that sad idea, that's healthy, normal self-esteem.

And who really is this you that you're protecting so fiercely? Are you the same you you were at age 6? I know if I time-traveled to my 16-year-old self, and I happened to be wearing my geeky biking clothes and silly helmet, my proto-goth-angsty-wiccan-teenage self would certainly not claim me as her future self! But here I am, and I'm still me.

Along the way, my sense of self expanded to include more possibilities. I didn't always582 see them coming, but when the time was right, the changes made sense. So I'm still me, just a me who's capable of writing working computer programs as well as terrible poetry.

The key to successful change is to realize that you are not a singular you, but a serial you who makes changes all the time without losing your essential I-ness. You can still be you, but a you who is you... and more.

To make a lasting change, become comfortable with the self you will be when you make the change. Claim that self as your own. And if you want to use a book, a system, or a guru, make sure that you feel comfortable with the information. If it's something that stretches your boundaries, that seems to not be you-today, but a you can see yourself as you-tomorrow, maybe it's worth trying.

Best of all, take the techniques that work for you; leave the rest. Don't expect any one system to miraculously change you - that's not what you want, after all. All you need is to find you own path. All the bits of things you find that work? That's just help along the way.

My life is just the way I want it - and it keeps getting better! How about yours? Where do you want to be? You can read my Cosmic Ordering Blog at Blogspot, my 36FCosmic Ordering Wordpress blog, or take a look at my Cosmic Ordering Squidoo lens.

A Spiritual Journey With the Law of Attraction

I understand my current life clearly as a culmination of all my thoughts, feelings and actions I've had to date. Practicing the Law of Attraction is not a new concept for me. I was first introduced to God's natural law all my life by the Bible and later reinforced by authors like Napoleon Hill, Wayne Dyer and Neal Donald Walsh. Simply put, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." Whatever you focus most of your attention on in life is exactly what is manifested in your outward experience.

We are spiritual beings having physical experiences. It took me a while to understand that every thought, negative or positive, is a creation, a prayer to the Universe (God). Depending on the degree of focus we give these thoughts, certain things become beliefs, which either manifest positive things or severely limit our lives.

I am made in the "Image and likeness of God," a perfect manifestation of Him. God's entire plan for me is one of complete and total "Well Being." When Well Being is being manifested in my life, I feel really good. When I am blocking my "Well Being," life becomes, sad, depressing and very difficult. Both of these contrasting experiences are as a result of what I think and especially what I've come to feel and believe. As a spiritual being, I am constantly seeking my connection with Well Being by daily prayer and conversation 5B4with God, declaring what I desire from the Universe and checking in constantly with my feelings and emotions.

I have learned to create my life. We are in complete control of all our outward experiences. Whatever I desire from God and His Universe, I first of all have to declare it according to His natural law. We are all great at declaring, because our entire life experiences, including the ones we are having today, started as a conscious or subconscious thought. The next step that happens is that God not only acknowledges my intentions, they are all answered without exception. The next step is where it becomes tricky and where most of us have problems manifesting. This step is another natural law called The Law of Allowing.

We are all 'vibrational' beings, meaning that through our thoughts and actions, we are always communicating our needs to the Source from which everything flows (God). However, in order to experience our desires that God has already provided for us, we must 'allow' it to become a part of our physical experience. To do so, we must be in harmony with those desires. We must spend as much time as possible feeling exactly how we would if we were experiencing those desires in the here and now. The Universe will then begin to match those good feelings and send to us the people, places and things we need to manifest those experiences in our outward life.

Subsequently, as things begin to line 593up and we become inspired, we must take action and act on those inspirations immediately. We must not find ways and reasons to disallow our dreams. We must commit to making our desires manifest into our physical experiences as God provides them. Do not let apprehension and anxiety hold you back, God will continue to provide the way and all that you will need. Concentrate at all times on the positive end result, not the conditions that you don't want. Energy will flow where your attention goes and the Law of Attraction will grant exactly that which you focus on and that includes the negatives. Always remain with and feel positive about the end result of what you desire in life as often as you can.

It is also very important to be grateful in life. The more we are grateful for on a daily basis, the more abundance God will supply us. Wake up every morning and before getting out of bed, give thanks with corresponding feeling for what you have. Be genuine about it. There are many things that I am grateful for...I love my life! Being grateful and happy is an inside job and no one else's. To be happy is to be connected with God, because Well Being is your birthright. According to the author of "Conversations with God," Neal Donald Walsh, "SATAN is Seeing Any Thing As Negative." Therefore, make happiness your #1 priority and you will always be on the receiving end of positive God Energy.

The Law of Attraction and the Key of Transmutation

The law of attraction states that objects of similar vibration attract one another (like attracts like). But the problem is this: how can you ever change your vibration in order to attract that which you desire? The answer is in the key of transmutation, that ancient process from alchemy that dares to change ordinary metal into gold, that dares to seek the elixir of life to cure all diseases and to restore even the aged back unto eternal youth.

If we look around, we can see that the problem of manifesting your desires is indeed a problem in achieving transition from one point in life into another, a transition similar to what we know as transmutation. Are you trying to attract wealth? Then you are trying to transmute from poverty into abundance, almost literally following the old concept of transmuting ordinary metal into gold. Are you trying to attract good relationships? Then you are trying to transmute from emptiness to belongingness, or from a painful relationship into a smoother one. Are you trying to attract enlightenment? Then you are trying to transmute from ignorance to wisdom, from low consciousness into a higher one.

Transmutation is transition. Transmutation is change. In the case of the Law of Attraction, it is the much desired and much required change in one's vibration in order to attract the things you wish to manifest. This change in vibration does not happen instantaneously though. It does not just happen the moment you learned about the law and you desired to leap unto the bandwagon of people waiting for magic to happen to them the moment they received the good news. As there are laws to attraction, there are also principles to transmutation.

Basically, there are two kinds of transmutation. The first is the transmutation of the elements which germinates from the power of thought. This is the transformation of matter into another form, the transformation of water into wine, the parting of the waters of the sea to give way to people trapped in the midst of a desert. The second one is the transmutation of the spirit. This is the kind of transformation emanating from the "absolute", which for now we shall call as Divine Essence or Love. This is the kind of transformation we undergo from being a non-believer to a people of faith, from cowardice to bravery, from powerlessness to strength, from darkness to enlightenment.

Unfortunately however, the general thinking today only presumes the transmutation of the first kind, which is the transmutation of the elements. We think that since we can control our thoughts, our thoughts could in turn control these elements to give us what we command it to render. And to further defend this thinking, there are principles describing the existence of a subconscious mind, which i1B93s also a thought that controls our conscious thoughts programmed through the years since our childhood into the way it is running today. Thus it is explained that the key to transform your thoughts is to transform the subconscious mind. Considering however how well formed this subconscious mind is, you can well imagine its resistance and the effort needed to wield it into the kind of mind we wish it to be. Hence lies our failure in the transmutation of the thought.

What we failed to consider however is something beyond "thought", something that is even beyond the subconscious thought that resists our conscious intentions and commands. We failed to give weight to our "spirit", which is the real key to transmuting even our deepest thoughts.

Have you ever been explained something so logically and rationally correct but you failed to believe in it anyways? Had it been only your thought that really counts, even a subconscious one, you would have needed only to digest what has been explained, repeat it and convince yourself of the soundness of the principle explained to you. It would have been that simple. But is it? Is a sound explanation everything we need in order to really believe? What if we have a lesser level of intellect? A lesser consciousness or understanding perhaps? How do we imbibe and receive what we have been fed in order to influence the strong subconscious mind?

Jesus spoke about this in the Gospels when he talked about being "born again" in the Spirit.

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew. The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?" (John 3:6-12, American Standard SpeedBible)

Tolle Eckart (author of A New Earth) in his book "Stillness Speaks" says that the present problem of the human condition today is being "lost in thought". He states, "Most people spend their entire life imprisoned within the confines of their own thoughts. They never go beyond a narrow, mind-made, personalized sense of self that is conditioned by the past. In you, as in each human being, there is a dimension of consciousness far deeper than thought. It is the very essence of who you are. We may call it presence, awareness, the unconditioned consciousness. In the ancient teachings, it is the Christ within, or your Buddha nature."

Thoughts, being different in levels and frequencies tend only to divide us and causes the most of our disputes and religious wars. Divine Essence on the other hand, unites us and transcends the barriers built by various unconnected thoughts. Thoughts are often limited and dependent on many factors including health and physical condition from birth. Divine Essence however is accessible to all. Spirit transcends all thoughts, and in order for a miracle to happen, there must be a transmutation of the "spirit" by Divine Essence.

Now the process of actual transmutation of the "spirit" is another area of lengthy discussion and analysis. But what I can give to you now are three important conditions for which a transmutation may be able to take place.

1. MALLEABILITY

Before one can be transmuted, one must be capable of being formed. Rigidity is the first problem of transmutation. Where one is not willing to be processed and moulded, transition cannot take place. This is the reason why pain sometimes serves a useful purpose to us. This pain, this brokenness breaks our rigidity, softens us in a way, opens us and allows us to be transformed.

2. PURITY

Purity in this sense means letting go of all the excess matter that clings to us and allowing our true essence to break through. In order to be transmuted, our true self and composition must be exposed. If not, the process may not be fit to our true condition. It can even destroy us.

3. TENACITY

Though one must be malleable and flexible enough, one must also be tenacious enough in order to survive the process one must undergo. Change is never an easy thing. It often requires the shaving away of the excess dross that clings to our true element. It often requires that we be crushed, folded or hammered in order to mould us into our better form. It requires that we endure the present pain and trust the transmutation taking place.

Transmutation is not a new thing. It is a procees as old as time itself, as old as the earth created by its many laws. Whether it be a transmutation of the elements or a transmutation of the spirit, its mastery will surely lead us to attracting the deepest desires of our heart. We need only be patient. We need only to open our minds and learn. For what could it not achieve if a being as exquisite as a man can be transmuted from the dust from which he came?

Goal Setting Sets the Energy in Motion - Launching Law of Attraction

Traditionally, January tends to be a time for goal setting. However, many of you have learned that with Law of Attraction you can have goals and desires ALL year long -- waiting until New Year's to set goals is so seventies! The 'deciding-what-you-desire' part of goal setting is the most important. You have to think about what you DO want and then articulate it, making sure you are clear about what you want. You now have your goals! All of that attention, energy and focus on your desire launches Law of Attraction by setting the energy in motion. Giving attention to anything ALWAYS sets the energy in motion (Law of Attraction).

Goal setting sets the energy in motion.

Deciding you desire something sets the energy in motion.

Daydreaming about your goals and desires sets the energy in motion.

Writing your goals on a 'yellow-sticky note' sets the energy in motion.

Telling others about your goals and dreams sets the energy in motion.

The point I want to emphasize is that we are good at setting the energy in motion. Can you feel the emotion when you say, "I've decided"? Deciding sets the energy in motion yet many people never say it. The challenge in goal setting is that, not only are you asked to state your goal, you are asked when it is that you want it. Here is an example:

Setting the Energy in Motion in Your Life

Goal: To have ten new clients by the end of this month. (Your goal is clear, measurable and specific.)

Challenge: Mid-month comes around and you've only attracted three new clients. Towards the end of the month, you start noticing that you are "not there' yet. Now a bit of panic or doubt (both negative vibrations) kicks it. You may start telling yourself, "I've only got three clients and I wanted ten." In your observation of NOT having the full ten, you send out a negative vibration of NOT having what you want.

Keeping score of what you have NOT attracted maintains a negative vibration towards your goal. Disappointment sets in.

Solution: Continue to set the energy of your goals in motion. Be deliberate about what you are paying attention to. Continue to pay attention to what you HAVE attracted so far- reminding yourself that LOTS can happen before the end of the month. In other words, celebrate and acknowledge what HAS happened. By practicing gratitude for all that has happened so far, you will be resetting your vibration to the way you want things to be and as always, Law of Attraction responds and matches your vibration.

Marianne Williamson

Did You Know? Thoughts Become Things

Ask and It Is Given is not just the name of Esther Hicks book. It is the most accurate expression of this entire universe. You ask, and the universe delivers.

This philosophy has been given the name the Law of Attraction.

It isnt something that can be switched on and off whenever you want to, it is working continuously. It works every time and there are no exceptions.

Similar to the Law of Gravitation, you would not expect it to suddenly go on the blink and half of planet suddenly begins to float 3 metres off the ground, whilst the other half of the planet have 3 tonne lead boots on and are welded to the ground!

So why do we sometimes feel as if the Law of Attraction is not working for us? Why do we sometimes wish we could turn it on and off at our own choosing? It is because the majority of people on this planet have untrained minds and thus untrained thoughts.

Their thought patterns are erratic and feel spontaneous - thus their lives unfold in that manner also. If the average Joe Bloggs were to spend a tiny fraction of their time training their mind instead of watching television or reading the news, that person could begin to focus, at will, on whatever they desired with accurate images firing their way into the mind.

Instead what happens is, thoughts get flung left, right and centre into their mind as if it is not really them in control of it. The fact of the matter is you ARE in control of what you think about. You get to choose how you reac5B4t to every circumstance and you also get to choose whatever thoughts you want to think.

Mike Dooley (author of Infinite Possibilities) states that Thoughts become things. And this is a very accurate description.

An even more accurate description would be to say it is the emotions you feel that attract physical manifestations into your life.

Thoughts create Images which create Emotions which create Results.

So how can you tell if you are on the right path to creating your desires? Pay more attention to the Thoughts, Images and Emotions that you experience on a day to day basis. Make it your intention to feel good for no other reason that to feel good!

Secrecy and the Law of Attraction

You've been applying the Law of Attraction in your life. You have a great image that you have been focusing on, and you have come into the feeling of 'knowing' that the Universe is on the case. You're excited about your plans and your desires and you just want to shout them from the rooftops. You want everyone to know this great thing called the Law of Attraction and how it is manifesting exactly what you want in your life. Should you be shouting it across the rooftops? Let's examine.

Have you ever had one of those days when everything is just right? The whole day just seems to be gelling, and you feel great. You tell a colleague about your incredible day and the "well-meaning colleague" says something to you that just hits you wrong, and it makes you feel bad about yourself. So the rest of the day you begin to doubt yourself. The one remark just throws your day off. Now you've entered a state of doubt and soon the feelings of lack set in. This one person, who had no idea that they put any doubt in your head, changed your day. Your feeling of doubt really is your responsibility, whether you accept the remark or not, but this kind of event can throw your thoughts and feelings into a space you don't want to take them.

This is a reason to keep your enthusiastic thoughts and feelings to yourself while you manifest what you desire. If you are the kind who isn't affected by someone else's thoughts, then go ahead and shout. But if you're like most of us, there will be someone who can throw a wrench into th5B4e mix and get you off kilter.

Many famous inventors kept their thoughts and feelings about their inventions to themselves while they were in the process of creating them. Wilbur and Orville Wright, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison (just to name a few) had initially told many about what they were inventing but people didn't appreciate what they were creating for mankind. They were pegged as crazy, but as we all know the inventions they created changed the world. When they heard what people were saying, they stopped talking about their inventions. They would work deep into the night so no one would see what they were doing or ask them doubtful questions or offer them unsolicited opinions. If they had taken those opinions to heart would they have made less incredible inventions? They learned early on to keep silent and create until the creation was physically manifested. Even then others didn't think what they did was possible.

There will always be people in the world who doubt. It's our responsibility as Law of Attraction practitioners to remember that the others who create doubt in your mind don't understand what you have found in the Law of Attraction. And their opinions only affect you if you allow them to.

You are like the great inventors of the world, creating a wonderful physical manifestation for your life. So if others affect what you think and feel, then keep it quiet. Be like the great invent5ACors of the world and believe in and build your dream without the sideway glances of others. You can achieve this by being silent. And once your image becomes physically manifested through the Law of Attraction, shout it from the rooftops.
