Searching for law of attraction tips that actually work is kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack. You can find law of attraction tips all over the place, but most of them will do nothing to produce real results. You know, like more money in your bank account or finding the love of your life.

So, what are some law of attraction tips that actually will work for you?

Here are three tips that should point you in the right direction:

1. Become absolutely clear on what you want to manifest. Clarity is one of the most important principles when using the law of attraction. Manifesting your desires becomes easier when you know how to gain clarity on what it is that you really want and shift your focus AWAY from the things that you do not want.

2. Forget about the idea of manifesting out of thin air. You know, the only people that really promote this idea are those that sell products that claim to give the “magical” power to manifest your desires from absolutely nothing at all. Thing is, the law of attraction works with all the other universal laws and one of those is CAUSE and EFFECT. You have to produce a cause to get an effect.

3. Everyday, take one action to move closer to your dreams. If every single day, you took at least one action towards manifesting your desires, eventually it would have to manifest. So, make it a point to take even the smallest of actions when you can. The law of attraction is all about taking action. Those that tell you otherwise would also probably want you to buy beachfront property…in Nebraska!

The law of attraction is REAL and it does work. However, you have to find the law of attraction tips that produce real results and ignore the ones that just don’t work at all.

—————————–

Most readers would probably have heard or read Napoleon Hill’s highly acclaimed “Think And Grow Rich”. Many people have also claimed that the book changed their way thinking and have seen their personal wealth grow.

Now then, if people can think and grow rich, then can people think and grow thin and slim? Can thinking to be thin help you to lose weight or thinking fat help you gain weight?

Since the released of Rhonda Byrne’s “The Secret” DVD and book, the Law of Attraction or LOA for short, which is the essence of her work has swept the world by storm arousing much renewed interest in metaphysical science and new age spiritual thinking.

If you are not familiar with the law of attraction, then simple definition of the law of attraction is that you attract to you what are in your dominant thoughts and what you are focused on.

In other words, you get what you think and focused on. Of course there are more to it than just merely wishful thinking and if you want to know more, the internet is full of websites on the application of law of attraction.

Experts and teachers of the law of attraction such as Bob Proctor, John Assaraf and some others who appeared in “The Secret” explained that recent breakthroughs in neuroscience along with understanding mental laws, reveal why the “law of attraction” works regardless of whether you look at the theory from a metaphysical or a scientific point of view in a Larry King show in 2007.

Scientists have long known that your subconscious is completely neutral and impartial and it will carry out any instructions you give it by your conscious or logical mind. That means that you can use the law of attraction to attract love, to lose or gain weight, attract wealth, quit smoking or whatever you desire. To skeptics, this sounds too good to be true but to believers, there are too many anecdotal evidence that the law of attraction works without any exception is difficult to ignore.

Unfortunately, many of us are still running negative programs we picked up from others as children when our subconscious minds were totally open and impressionable, or which we have developed over the years as a result of repetition of our own negative thinking.

Yes, many of you may say to me that you have been thinking of losing weight, but is still getting fatter. You see, when you are thinking of losing weight, you are using your conscious mind, but what is your subconscious mind thinking? Here are some examples :-

a) I am fat, therefore I need to lose weight – This thinking cancels out each other. Yes, you want to lose weight, but you are also thinking about being fat. The law of attraction does not react to whether you want it or do not want it, it just delivers to you what you are thinking and focused on and in this instance, you are thinking about being fat as well as losing weight.

b) My family members are fat, so I am genetically programed to be fat – I don’t need to explain this further. It is a self limiting thought and guess what? If you think that you are programed to be fat, then you are. You won’t be doing anything to change the status quo because you will think that it is useless to do so subconsciously. Simple as that.

c) I wish to be thin – Now merely wishing is not good enough, the law of attraction will just entertain your wish. You will always be wishing and wishing and wishing.

d) It is difficult to lose weight – Then you will never lose weight because it will always be difficult for you to lose weight.

So when you do not lose weight even if you have always wanted to, it could be because of your self limiting subconscious thoughts and there could even be hundreds if not thousands of negative programming in our subconscious mind not only in the subject of physical body shape but on other matters such as wealth, health, love and the list goes on.

These negative beliefs are programed into our subconscious mind and most of the time we do not even know that they are there sabotaging us. These thoughts then become our beliefs, habits and automatic behavior.

To change your end results, you need to overwrite the negative programing and instill new positive programing into your subconscious mind. If you are getting more of the same or negative results in your life such as not being able to attract more wealth, good health or the body shape you desire, then you have probably been unconsciously running old negative programs and reinforcing them with daily negative thought patterns.

There are many techniques you can use to get rid of limiting beliefs and negative thoughts such as using goal setting, affirmations and creative visualizations.

I will not describe in detail how these methods work here as books have been written on them. However, from personal experiences, the best method is to use self hypnotism to get rid of these negative programing.

You see, instead of spending a lot of money for a hypnosis therapist to help you find out your self limiting negative thoughts in your subconscious mind and re-program new positive thoughts into it, you can now do it yourself through self hypnosis sessions through CDs or MP3s.

So, how to use self hypnotism to lose weight or gain weight? Well, that is for another article or you click the link in my author’s box and read about them.

At least not the way it is being taught by the thousands of people on “The Secret” bandwagon. To me a law is measurable, repeatable and predictable.

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 it happen. Not likely. Even with the examples above, does the Law of Attraction make sense?

Sure.

Sometimes.

It can help you get clear. It can help 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, all the time.

Good question. If I knew 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 takes to reach their wants; it never makes it to a goal. They never take action.

Let assume the goal is to make a million dollars. You need to ask yourself “How can I make a million dollars?”

You need to understand what you can provide to others that would inspire them to buy from you. “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 you can provide?

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

You need to do my research and determine what people want. You need to determine what you can provide. You need to determine what you am going to give up too achieve your 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 behavior? Einstein was correct when he said “insanity is doing the same things over again and expecting different results.” What insane behavior are you keeping? What do you need to change to achieve you goal.

What steps are you doing 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.

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 your 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 do not 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?” the mind will 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 destroyed. She was not hurt. 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 dealership without making a purchase. On my drive home I knew 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. 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?

Because I have not been able to implement the Law of attraction in a measurable, predictable and repeatable fashion.

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 took action.

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

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 took. 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. 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.

To me a law is measurable, repeatable, and predictable. I think there is some merit in what is known as the Law of Attraction but because it is something I have not been a implement in a measurable, repeatable and predictable way I do not think I would call it a law.

There are some great ideas and some great teacher doing some great things but go into this with your eyes wide open. If you embrace this The Law of Attraction, go into it with your eyes wide open. Even if it does not work for you, it will help you create clarity of purpose, inspired action and a well thought out plan.

There are no shortcuts.

“Opposites attract” is a law of attraction, at least where electromagnetism is concerned. But are there laws about attraction between two people?

“In a world that is full of strangers” as a line in a famous song of the 1980’s goes, is there a clear set of rules that allows two people to fall for each other?

Is attraction a matter of chemistry?

Maybe. According to scientists, the attraction between animals of the opposite sex is all about chemicals called pheromones. The effect of pheromones in behavior of insects is the most studied to date. It has been observed, at least in some experiments, that pheromones are responsible for communication among same species and colony of ants. The horrible odor released by skunks to ward off enemies is said to be a kind of pheromone. Some species of apes rub pheromone-containing urine on the feet of potential mates to attract them.

Scientists believe that animals (usually the females) such as insects and mammals send out these chemical signals to tell the male of their species that their genes are different from theirs. This gene diversity is important in producing offspring with better chances of survival. The perfume industry has capitalized on pheromones as a means to increase one’s sexual attractiveness to the opposite sex. Animals such as the whale and the musk deer were hunted down for these chemicals.

Lately, scientists are looking into the existence of human pheromones and its role in mate selection. There are many conflicting views in the realm of biology, chemistry, genetics, and psychology. Most scientists would assert that these do not exist, or if they do, do not play a role in sexual attraction between a man and a woman. But new researches such as that conducted by Swiss researchers from the University of Bern led by Klaus Wedekind are slowly making these scientists rethink their stand. Their experiment involved women sniffing the cotton shirts of different men during their ovulation period. It was found out that women prefer the smell of men’s shirts that were genetically different, but also shared similarities with the women’s genes. This, like in the case of insects and other mammals, was to ensure better and healthier characteristics for their future children. But researchers also cautioned that preference for a male odor is affected by:

- The women’s ovulation period
- The food that men eat
- Perfumes and other scented body products
- And lastly the use of contraceptive pills.

Does personality figure in sexual attraction?

Yes, but so does your perception of a potential mate’s personality. According to a research conducted by Klohnen, E.C., & S. Luo in 2003 on interpersonal attraction and personality, a person’s sense of self-security and at least the person’s perception of his/her partner were found to be strong determinants of attraction in hypothetical situations. What does this tell us? We prefer a certain personality type, which attracts you to a person. But aside from the actual personality of the person, which can only be verified through close interaction through time, it is your perception of your potential partner that attracts you to him/her, whether the person of your affection truly has that kind of personality or not. This could probably account for a statement commonly heard from men and women on their failed relationships: “I thought he/she was this kind of person.”

So how does attraction figure in relationships?

You have probably heard that attraction is a prelude, or a factor towards a relationship. Most probably, at least in the beginning; but attraction alone cannot make a relationship work. It is that attraction that makes you notice a person from the opposite sex, but once you get to know the person more, attraction is just one consideration. Shared values, dreams, and passions become more significant in long-term relationships.

So should I stop trying to become attractive?

More than trying to become physically attractive, work on all aspects of your health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Physical attraction is still a precursor. Remember, biology predisposes us to choose the partner with the healthiest genes. Where your emotions are concerned, just ask this to yourself: would you want to spend time with a person who feels insecure about him/herself?

Probably not! There is wisdom in knowing yourself: who you are, your beliefs, values, and dreams. And do not pretend to be someone you are not. Fooling another person by making him/her think that you share the same values and beliefs is only going to cause you both disappointments. When you are healthy in all aspects, attractiveness becomes a consequence and not an end. As mentioned in the Klohnen and Luo’s research, a person’s sense of self-security matters, perhaps even beyond attraction. But remember: do these things for yourself and not for other people. Only then can you truly harness your attractiveness as a person.

Hypnosis is the technique used to persuade a persons sub conscious to change feelings, behavior or beliefs. The law of attraction is the idea that whatever a person is thinking or believing in their mind guides their actions and goals. The law of attraction and hypnosis are closely linked. The law of attraction is actually the basic idea behind hypnosis.

The Law of Attraction Explained

The law of attraction was defined by Dr. William James around the beginning of the twentieth century. It is a commonly held belief that the law of attraction exists and is true. It has been proven an innumerable amount of times because people show that the right attitude and mindset can help them achieve their goals. The same can be said for negative thinking causing negative things to happen. It works both ways. The law of attraction basically states that whatever you are thinking in your mind, you make a reality.

A Good Example

A really good example that ties the law of attraction into hypnosis is a person that smokes and who wishes to quit smoking. By the law of attraction, if this person sets their mind to quit smoking he can do so. Hypnosis comes in to help the person get past the addiction. Smoking is a hard habit to quit. A smoker is addicted to the cigarettes both mentally and physically.

It takes strong will power to quit and quit for good. t is thought that quitting is very deeply routed in the mental addiction more than the physical addiction, so the extra help from hypnosis combined with the law of attraction equals them reaching their goal.

How the Law of Attraction and Hypnosis Work Together

By itself the law of attraction may seem able to do anything. However, people often do not understand that they must be thinking the same thing in their conscious and sub conscious mind. Back to the example above, the smoker may feel like they really want to quit, but sub consciously their mind has not completely accepted the idea of quitting. Hypnosis gets to the sub conscious mind and allows the person to fully have the drive to quit.

The law of attraction and hypnosis work together to ensure the mind is completely on board with what the goal is. Together they provide enough positive thinking to get the goal reached. A person can really benefit by using the two together to help them reach goals they may be having problems reaching.

Have you watched the “Secret” and got excited in using the Law of Attraction in your life to attract your dreams? Have you tried every technique that the movie suggested and still unable to make the law of attraction work in your life? Are you about to completely give up on this law of attraction thing?

If so, just hold on until you finish reading this article and then you will know where you went wrong and how to fix it easily. You need not worry too much as the majority who tries to make the law of attraction work in their lives fail miserably at the first instance. So it is not your fault actually, but you have not received the most vital part of the information that is needed to make the law of attraction work in your life.

The Law of Attraction is a natural law of the universe and it has been working in every ones lives from the day that the universe was created. It is like Gravity, even if you are aware or not gravity works, same with the law of attraction. Although the name was popularized only recently, the law was active in your life from birth.

So, then why don’t you attract what you want in your life. What is the mistake you are making?

If you just look at what the law of attraction says, you would have the answer promptly. What the Law of Attraction says is, “Like attracts Like” or What you focus on expands”.

So did you see how it works? whatever you focus on expands. It can be positive or negative, the law of attraction does not care a bit about what you focus, it just does the job and give you more of what you are focusing at a particular moment. So if you are focusing on not having money to pay your bills, that is what you will get. You get more situations where you do not have money to pay bills. Simply said, you get more bills and less money. Because that is what your main focus has been.

I think you may have got a slight idea on how the law of attraction works in your life. The other thing is it responds to your feelings and not to your logical mind. It will directly respond to how you feel about a particular situation. If you are feeling lack and scarcity of not having enough money, the law of attraction picks up your vibration of lack and responds with more lack and scarcity. That is the simple way, how the law of attraction work in your life.

The other reason why the law of attraction does not work in your life is the past conditioning and limiting beliefs you are holding about yourself, your capabilities and various aspects of your life. If you believe that you are not good enough to attract good things to your life, this will be a major stumbling block in your efforts to make the law of attraction work in your life. Most of these beliefs are not conscious to us and we may not be able to understand why a particular behavioral pattern is repeated in our life.

The most effective method to counter these beliefs and past conditioning is to have a quiet mind. Though it is easy said than done, it is not impossible. Having a quiet mind has tremendous benefits which includes accessing your intuition easily and living your life with effortlessness and ease. A quiet mind will not have room for past conditioning and self limiting beliefs because it lives in the present moment and not in the past or future. A quiet mind is the most suitable mental state to make the law of attraction work effortlessly in your life and attract all your dreams easily.

The most effective technique to achieve a quiet mind is to use brain wave entrainment technology. Brainev is a program using the latest patent pending cutting edge technology known as 3P-DEAP, which make this product much more effective than similar products in the market. You do nothing by yourself, all the work is done by the technology, just by listening to it 30 minutes a day.

This is the most lazy way to make the law of attraction work in your life.

The law of attraction is an ancient law that has recently been brought to light through Esther Hicks. Esther Hicks channels spirits that collectively use the name – “Abraham.”

According to the law of attraction “that which is like unto itself is drawn.” In simpler terms this can be expressed as like attracts like. It could also be said as – as you sow, so shall you reap; what goes around comes around; what your put out you get back and what you want, wants you.

Many successful people have lived by the positive philosophy of the law of attraction including, by self admission, Oprah Winfrey. The secret that is said to have once been known by Beethoven is now common knowledge thanks to the works of Esther Hicks and her husband Jerry Hicks.

The statement “ask and you shall receive” is common knowledge. The law of attraction says “Ask, believe, receive.” Abrahams secret teachings say how all things that are wanted or unwanted are brought to you by the law of attraction. A belief is only a thought that you keep thinking. Never before has the law of attraction been explained as clearly as it is here by Abraham through Esther and Jerry Hicks.

Let us examine the basics of the law of attraction. Once a vibration is activated by you, a response is given via the law of attraction. If you ask, you receive. According to the law of attraction, everything is valid and truthful. In the germination of the seed of your desire is everything that is necessary to make your desire true. You must relax and let the law of attraction organize and manage and then happily do your work.

The secret law of attraction that has now been revealed is a universal law. Universal laws cannot be changed or broken. They have been around since the dawn of creation. They apply to everything, everywhere. They are basic principles on which life is based.

The law of attraction, revealed by Abraham-Hicks is the most powerful force in the universe. Practice is needed to “get it” but once you get it you need never look back. The secret of the law of attraction is – like attracts like. This means many things. You are a living magnet. Energy attracts energy. You get what you focus on whether you want it or not.

Though some people are better at attraction than others are, this does not mean the person with average law of attraction skills cannot get better of even surpass others. In working the secret law of attraction, always take inspired action. If something feels right, go ahead and do it. Always expect your desires to come true. Expect miracles to happen.

Money, relationships and jobs happen in our life according to our expectations. The moment we focus on them, they start moving toward us. The quality of desires we focus on affects what we get from life. Our thoughts and feelings must affirm the positive to bring in happiness into our lives.

Think you have as much money you want in your life. Then feel it. Also, believe it. Believe that you already have as much money as you want in your life. Be grateful for the money you have. Accept yourself as a rich person.

Do the same with relationships and with jobs. Think, believe, feel and accept yourself in a positive position on these and the positivity will come to you. This is the secret that has been revealed by Abraham-Hicks in the law of attraction

What we focus on is brought to us. If it is on having less, we create that experience for ourselves. If it is on having more we bring richness into our lives. The man who says he hates his job is creating this reality for himself by not noticing the good parts of his job. If we obsess on not having something, then we are blocking what we deserve from coming to us. The secret is wanting, believing and accepting what you desire in your life.

Most people focus on their not having things they want rather than having them. This is a negative thought process and blocks what we want from coming into out lives. Once a secret, it is now known that the law of attraction is not mystical mumbo jumbo but a fact that has been borne out in countless lives. Expect positivity and receive positivity. So think, feel and believe positive.

That is the law of attraction in a nutshell.

I am sure you are like me and when you first heard about the law of attraction or watched the movie “The Secret” you were excited and motivated to make major changes in your life. Like me you may have spent days, weeks and months visualizing, saying affirmations and trying to think positive. However like me you probably seen no results!

Why?

Well life change and goals happen when there is a shift in perspective and thus a shift in energy. Everything in the physical, and non-physical universe, is composed of vibrating energy. Everything we think of as being solid and real is in fact just vibrating energy. Our entire universe is just energy. In order to alter one’s life it is only necessary to alter energy!

How do you do that?

Simple! Through the law of attraction we can manifest any goal. As I am sure you already know, the law of attraction brings to us things that our energy is attracting to us. Energy is the driving force of the universe. “But what drives energy?” you may ask.

Well, just as energy drives the gears of the physical universe in a likewise manner thought drives the energy!

Through a magnetic pull the law of attraction brings us other energy that has a similar vibration to that of our thoughts. Remember, the physical universe is made of energy. This is a scientific fact! Therefore what we think tends to affect our lives and how we live them. How we think determines what kind of energy (physical experiences and objects!) which come into our lives and daily experiences.

The law of attraction literally brings us more of what we are focus on!

Now most people who have read about the law of attraction are aware that their thoughts create their reality. By changing how you think and view the world, and its envitable problems, you can overcome any and all obstacles and manifest many joyful exoeriences and physical goals. So what’s so hard about that?

Well, if all we have to do is think our way to success and the fulfilment of our desires why isn’t everyone who knows this secret fabulously rich and ecstatically happy?

The trouble with using conventional means to consciously direct the law of attraction lies in the nature of your thinking. Thoughts can be very hard, or even impossible, to control! How can you overcome this major problem (perhaps I should call it a challenge?) so that you can begin to attract more of the things you want in life rather than the things you do not want?

Firstly, we know that change in life occurs when we change our thinking. Accept the premise that energy does follow thought and that energy forms the building blocks of the physical universe – Easy enough, yes?

Next you must understand the real secret behind the law of attraction!

What is this secret?

You have an average of 50,000 thoughts per day. It would be a serious undertaking to try to control all these thoughts wouldn’t you agree? Unfortunately, your thoughts are hard to control because most of them are thought unconsciously. It is your subconscious belief patterns that regulate your daily automatic thoughts. Herein lies the key to creating the life you want and using the law of attraction to your advantage.

Just as change follows energy and energy follows thoughts your thoughts follow your emotions! It is your feelings about a thing that cause you to think a certain way about it! That is the great secret to making the law of attraction work!

Most people fail to achieve any goals when they try to use the law of attraction because they only focus on their thoughts – through visualization, affirmations etc. However, they never look at how they feel about a subject.

When you set a goal or decide to use the law of attraction to manifest a desire you must get to the place where you are excited about having it. Immerse yourself in the feelings of having it and soon when you think of that desire you will begin to feel like you can have it. You sson begin to believe that it will be yours. After that you will begin to feel like you already have it and that is when it will “fall into your lap”!

So keep your feelings positive and everything else will take care of itself!

Beyond the Secret:

Spiritual Power & the Law of Attraction

Chapter One: Orient Towards Spirit

If there is one secret truly worth discovering, it is not the secret of the law of attraction. It is the secret of Spirit. True, the law of attraction can bring you whatever you want in life, but as I mentioned before, it won’t necessarily bring you what is good for you. Only Spirit understands what you really need and why you are here.

Seek to understand what Spirit wants for you in this life.

As you will discover the law of attraction can be used in healthy or unhealthy ways. A child can be attracted to a flame, but the best result is not to put her hand into the fire and get burned. Metaphorically, Spirit can be seen as a divine parent, seeking to guide you into greater wisdom and maturity. And what Spirit ultimately wants for you is simple—to be conscious of the universe.

Spirit also wants you to live an abundant life. But, let’s be clear on what spiritual abundance is and what it is not. An abundance of Spirit is an abundance of spiritual wisdom and insight. It includes an abundance of spiritual values like patience, love, compassion, maturity, respect, appreciation, intelligence, harmony, inner peace, joy, and a dedication to what is often called the good, the true, and the beautiful.

Spiritual Lessons Are Everywhere

Yes, your dharma, or spiritual purpose in life, may involve great monetary wealth. But, then again, it may not! While meditating on wealth and spirituality, I remember one particularly powerful experience. I was reflecting on the times when I had money and when I did not. At the time I was near the ocean. It had just rained, and slowly my attention was drawn to the vast expanse of water in front of me and then to a puddle by the side of the road.

Oceans and puddles. My attention went back and forth between the two. Should I damn the puddle for being so small? Wasn’t it serving a purpose? Wasn’t it helping to collect a pool of water until the sun could evaporate it? Didn’t I have multiple childhood memories of splashing about in puddles? Didn’t I remember the delight, the laughter, the squealing in joy at seeing water splash all around me as my boot stomped down into the water? Yes, puddles had brought a lot of joy into my life.

As for oceans, having grown up in the Midwest, I always found it a magical experience to head down to Florida to see the vast expanse of water before me: the waves rolling in and out, surfers riding the waves, sea creatures of all kind inhabiting a whole new universe below. Oceans were always mysterious and magical to me, not to mention healing and soothing, which was why I was standing in front of the ocean at that time.

Of course, lakes had always brought a lot of joy to me as well. There were lots of lakes in the Midwest. I loved the water. I liked both sailing and water-skiing, and swimming was always one of my favorite things. Picnics on the grass. Family outings. Those early teenage romantic rendezvous. Except for the jiggers, which could bite you, I never had a memory of a lake I didn’t thoroughly adore.

Even water in a glass has a purpose. I don’t know about you, but when I am thirsty, it is water in a glass and not water from a lake, ocean, or puddle I most want to drink. I realized that no matter what form or shape water tookit wasn’t how much water any person did or did not have. It was the function of the water and how well it was put to good use.

And, in that moment I realized that money and all of the “stuff” people acquired with it was exactly like water in this world. I came to understand that it wasn’t how much any person had or didn’t have that mattered. It was the spiritual lessons they were learning from what they possessed and how well they consciously, lovingly, and intelligently managed their possessions, and how capable they were of sticking to spiritual principles no matter how much wealth, or what kind of circumstances they faced in their lives. Perhaps this is why so many spiritual people go through both prosperous and adverse situations. Like the double dorje, they are learning to stand poised at the center of the circle, staying spiritually balanced no matter the outer circumstances of their world.

Spirit Overcomes Fear and Selfish Desire

As you’ve probably figured out by now, when I talk about using the law of attraction, I am not talking about getting a lot of stuff. Stuff may or may not make you happy, and I will go into that later in this book. It’s just that people acquire stuff as a way to avoid their ultimate fear—that stuff may really be all there is in this universe. Just like the stuff of our bodies, one day all other stuff will disappear. The only thing that will remain is Spirit, and even that is difficult for some stuff-driven people to accept and comprehend. Though I have personalized Spirit metaphorically as a divine parent, it really is the vast, all-encompassing force that pervades the universe. As my own mystical experiences have revealed to me, Spirit lives within everything. Nothing can escape it and everyone is “it” in a very fundamental way.

Understand that Spirit is infinite; forms are finite. Spirit is abundant; forms are not.

Thus, those who know Spirit intimately understand beyond a shadow of a doubt that nothing in this universe can be destroyed. Death is an illusion. Whenever anything appears to die, it simply changes shape and form. As Albert Einstein said, “Energy, cannot be created or destroyed. ” This realization radically shifts your experience of death and desire. Though The Secret also mentions this Einstein quote, the book fails to illuminate or appreciate how, when you remove the fear of death, you don’t desire things in quite the same way.

For starters, you no longer act as a human being who wants to consume everything in sight, leaving nothing of real value for your children and grandchildren in the future. You begin to understand that humans who are only focused on consumption are really like a cancer on this Earth. Just as cancer cells in your body could use the law of attraction to get what they want despite your ultimate demise; humans need to understand that if they are not careful they will use the law of attraction in a destructive manner reaping devastation on the larger world around.

Of course, even if the law of attraction is used in a selfish way, Spirit will ultimately turn it toward the good. But why make those mistakes? Why set yourself back and misuse the law of attraction instead of using it in a spiritual way?

The difficulty with the law of attraction is that it is entirely neutral. Just as The Secret shares, the law of attraction is like a genie in a bottle here to grant your every wish. Often, what you are wishing for is not what Spirit is wishing for you! Just as a child can wish to eat nothing but cookies all day long, what you wish for as an adult may or may not be good for you in the long run. And, since the law of attraction is neutral, it doesn’t care. It will give you want you want regardless.

Remember the law of attraction is neutral. Though you can use it to get whatever you wish for, it doesn’t always give you what Spirit wishes for you!

Spirit Reveals Your Ultimate Destiny

So, here’s the rub: The next time you are busy polishing that lamp so all of your wishes can come true, think twice about what you are doing because the most powerful use of the law of attraction is ultimately to attract to yourself a clear understanding of how to wish! And, one of the best wishes you can make is to gain insight into yourself and your spiritual purpose, mission, or ultimate destiny in this world.

Now, I cannot tell you what your ultimate destiny is. Though I can attempt to guide you, only Spirit knows what it is for certain. But, I believe Spirit has a fundamental purpose—to wake you up so you can realize that ultimately you are Spirit, and so is everything else around you. Call it enlightenment, self-realization, unity consciousness, oneness, or being filled with the Holy Spirit. It all leads to a quest where you understand that you are here not to consume but to contribute. You are not here simply to acquire but to give! All that you receive in life is ultimately a gift from Spirit that teaches you to be more loving and aware on this Earth. And, you might as well face it: No matter how much you use the law of attraction to wish it would not be true, your time on this Earth is finite! How you spend your time here is important. So, what on this Earth will you do?

Will you spend your time and energy only trying to obtain your material desires? Especially in the world today, it is possible to attract to yourself a lot of material goods! And, quite frankly, attracting stuff is easy. Just think of all the people you know who have knowingly or unknowingly used the law of attraction to get what they have wanted in life. They may have cars, money, a dream home, the best-looking partner or spouse, good health, and even well-dressed and educated children. On the exterior, their lives look like a dream. Yet, despite all of this, they may also remain lackluster and walk through life half-consciously. To cope, they often medicate themselves with alcohol, Prozac, illegal drugs, adrenaline-rush activities, sexual conquests, and much, much more. Sadly, despite all of their prosperity, too many people in our present society act like empty zombies. Maybe that is why our culture is so increasingly obsessed with horror movies. As a whole, we are trying to wake up to the horror of the empty lives too many people are currently living.

Attract More Spirit into Your Life

This is why it is so important to attract the things of Spirit no matter what the outer circumstances of your life. Then you will know that if you can stay connectioned with Spirit, grow in wisdom, and have a heart capable of love, you will remain in a very good mood, just like Job in the Bible who was stripped of everything and everyone he loved for a while; you will discover it ispossible to stay in touch with Spirit for better or worse, in sickness and health, till death do you part, no matter what.You will learn to remain in a state of inner joy and peace whether you take on the role of a Bill Gates or Mother Teresa. My research and life experiences have shown that me that people can accomplish this. But, I have worked hard and long to know the secret of Spirit in my life. I know this secret of Spirit really has the power to free you.

So, get busy trying to attract an understanding of the purpose Spirit has for you. But, remember that you cannot write that purpose yourself, especially if it is selfish in nature, without paying a price in the end. What does Spirit want most from you? To become conscious and to love. How do you love? By experiencing yourself as connected to everything around you, and as everything and everyone, to learn how to take better care of yourself. Despite the illusion that you are separate from other people, we are all interconnected. Similar to a hand, even though you may believe you are only a finger, you are part of a hand nevertheless. As you wake up to this fact, you realize how important it is to care about what happens to the people and the overall planet around you. This is not an easy task. To truly love, you have to understand what everything around you needs to grow and prosper. Try attracting that information to you!

Of course, learning to love everyone and everything around you may seem like an impossible task. That is why it is important to begin in small ways. If you can just learn to love and care for yourself, that alone is a huge accomplishment. If you can also learn to love, care for, and respect your family, neighbors, co-workers, and community—wow! What a wonderful world it would be if we could all do that!

So, why not begin right now to use the law of attraction to help you live a loving and spiritual life? And, don’t forget to attract to yourself an understanding of just how much you have to offer. That way you will seek to make your life more about contribution, instead of acquisition, as you live from day to day.

Therefore, use the law of attraction to benefit not only yourself, but everyone around you.
