We are all becoming over powered by the amount of information and hype on the law of attraction following the film “The Secret”. In this article I would like to take a reflective look at the concepts as they have been presented to us unknowingly in the past.

To commence the reflection I would like to quote from James Allen. I looked around upon the world, and saw that it was shadowed by sorrow and scorched by the fierce fires of suffering. And I looked for the cause. I looked around, but could not find it; I looked in books, but could not find it; I looked within, and found there both the cause and the self-made nature of that cause. I looked again, and deeper, and found the remedy. I found one Law, the Law of Love; one Life, the Life of adjustment to that Law; one Truth, the truth of a conquered mind and a quiet and obedient heart. And I dreamed of writing a book which should help men and women, whether rich or poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or unworldly, to find within themselves the source of all success, all happiness, all accomplishment, all truth. And the dream remained with me, and at last became substantial; and now I send it forth into the world on its mission of healing and blessedness, knowing that it cannot fail to reach the homes and hearts of those who are waiting and ready to receive it. I bring you the law of attraction.

“You have the right to live in fullness and to seek all the blessings of life.”

What would you do if you knew beyond a doubt that you had an inalienable right to thrive in life, and that your job was to give clear instructions to the universe on what thriving means to you. Wouldn’t that get you fired up with excitement, exuberance and passion for life?

In Love Without End , it is clearly stated that the key to our rights is connecting to the love that we are—our unique point of infinity in the Heart center where we are united with God. From that point, all desire is God seeking expression in us and all the resources we will ever need to fulfill our personal dreams and destiny will manifest for us, as the entire universe conspires to increase creation by moving us forward. When we harmonize with the impulse of life, the creative energies are most powerfully attracted to us, and new riches will enter the world through us. When we choose to engage in life and increase our capacity for it, we will thrive beyond what we can imagine, and the whole world will be enriched as a result.

There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.’ This quote, from Kierkegaard, the deeply spiritual thinker and writer of the 1800s, demands our attention, and an answer. Are we truly interested in changing our lives, do we really want to know what could be accomplished by a person directly plugged into universal power?

Jesus asked a similar question at the healing pools in Bethesda, in Jerusalem, of a man who had been ill for 38 years. Do you want to be well?’, to which the man explained he had no one to help him. Get up and walk.’ said Jesus, and the man was healed. Jesus didn’t ask the man if he was tired of being frail, ill, unable to provide for himself. He asked if the man wanted to be well! Do you see the vital, life changing difference here? Do you realize that a thought, once conceived, becomes a real and living thing? Stop saying you are tired of being sick, poor, lonely, and start saying what you want to be!! Notice also, the sick man had to admit he desired healing, he had to act on the command to get up and walk, and he had to believe he had been healed.

It is difficult for many people to clearly and concisely state their thoughts and feelings. When children first learn to talk, they are often admonished when they state the bare truth about something or someone. That is not nice—you can’t say that to Grandma, Grandpa or Uncle Lu.” Or heaven forbid if the child points out something quite obvious to a neighbor or friend. Thus, a child quickly learns that truth and perceptions are forbidden and hypocrisy and half-truths or white lies is the communication style to emulate.

There are a plethora of books addressing the issue of honest communication and authenticity. And although many people read and agree with the premise, it is still painfully difficult to break out of the family prohibition to speak one’s authentic truth. Many people hide their true thoughts and feelings because they are afraid that their feelings, thoughts and ideas will alienate them from others or leave them vulnerable as the prohibitions ring in their ears.

I love listening to spiritual programs on TV. I was listening to a spiritual leader and he was talking about visualization. One thing he was specific about was that if you can see it in your mind, then it can manifest in your life.

The trouble most people have is they clearly cannot visualize in their mind. It is not just about visualization, it is also very important to have that feeling of joy, happiness at the same time visualizing what you want. Can you see a clear picture of exactly what you want in your mind that you want to attain? Can you see it; can you touch it; can you smell it; can you hear it, can you feel it. If not, you will have a hard time manifesting what you desire.
First thing you want to do is sit quietly and meditate in a room with no distractions. Sit up straight and don’t slouch. Close your eyes and let your mind wander. If possible try to think of positive events, people, and places for about 15-20 minutes. The purpose of this exercise is to control the physical body. If you want to control your mind, you must succeed in controlling the movement of your body.

Do you realize that life is filled with infinite possibilities? That you have the power to create whatever you choose to, all you have to do is understand how to utilize the law of attraction. We have the power to think thoughts into being, there are infinite possibilities to use our imagination to shape our world around us.

Many people believe the old adage “go to work get a good job, and life will be ok,” well that is all it will be is okay. If you really wish to have a successful life then you must begin to understand the law of attraction. Mike Dooley’s powerful program Infinite Possibilities will show you how. He will teach you that we as humans are extremely powerful and we must begin to understand that we can be do have anything we desire. If you can learn how to focus on the end results of the goals you wish to accomplish, they will become a reality.

Does opportunity knock or are we receptive to the opportunities which have been there, but we did not consciously connect with them before.

Staying connected to opportunities is the practice of combining habit creation (a consistent and persistent set of actions towards a goal or desire) and the Law of Attraction (giving your attention, energy, and focus to your desire) to manifest anything you want. When you create a focus of seeing opportunities and allowing the principles of the Law of Attraction to guide your way, it makes it nearly impossible to not get exactly what you want.

You will accomplish more than you thought possible by making a strong commitment, without any fear, which will distract you from your intent, dreams and goals. The challenges you face with any commitment is an unavoidable element of the goal-realization process. If you allow fear or worry to come into mind, you can quickly dissuade yourself from pursuing your purpose, mission or dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great nineteenth-century philosopher and poet, said, “Do the thing you are afraid to do, and the death of fear is certain.” If you keep this in mind you can wrestle the biggest success saboteur—FEAR—out of existence.

If you examine the word FEAR, you will realize that other words stick like velcro—’afraid,’ ‘anxious,’ ‘anxiety’ and ‘phobia.’ There are two types of fear—real and imagined. Real fear includes—those things, which have potential danger such as: lightening, tornadoes, hail, snow storms, thin ice, being near wild animals, high risk activities, etc. Imagined fear includes things that are— imagined—and have little basis in fact. The sky is falling syndrome—“False Evidence Appearing Real.”

When applying the Law of Attraction, it always comes back to you and your perception. Everything and everyone you encounter in your life, you have intentionally or unintentionally attracted into your world.

You may be saying to yourself, “There is no way that I attracted that mean old man who yelled at me for passing him on the road.” Believe it or not, at some time you produced an emotion that attracted that experience to you. And it didn’t take just one thought and one feeling to cause the experience to attract to you. It came from a repetitious thought and feeling over time. Everything that comes into your world is always attracted from a thought and feeling that you are possessing or have possessed.

Intention requires energy to bring it into manifestation. Energy is required for creation and attraction. The energy is the emotion. The more emotion you feel, the more energy you have to move things in the supernatural realm. Intention without strong emotion of desire is weak intention. A strong intention has a strong emotional energy of desire. The stronger the intention, the more strongly it will manifest.

It is the amplitude of vibration and not the frequency that determines its strength. Increasing the emotion increases the amplitude of your vibration. You may have experiences in your life that when you hold an intention with strong emotions, it’s very likely to manifest. Because you’ll be extremely motivated to take action, and it may also seem as though the universe is on your side to help you make it happen.
