The Law of Attraction
In this post, I’m going to tell you about something you may or may not have heard about before. It is called the Law of Attraction.
Basically, the law says that if you put enough thought into something, then it will happen. As you can imagine, there are many people who oppose this view, but on a quantum level there is a lot to be said for it (don’t worry, I’m not going to start lecturing you on quantum mechanics – I’m hardly the right person to be doing that!). Now, I said that thought creates things in real life, but this can be both positive AND negative things. I mentioned before in part 2 about Bill thinking he isn’t good enough and Ben thinking that he is totally worthy of the job – well this is exactly what I mean – if you think negative thoughts, they will be what comes into play in reality. If you think you won’t get the job…you probably won’t!
Okay, so more about how to do it. There are 3 steps to law of attraction: Ask, Believe and Receive.
Ask - The first thing you should do is ask for what you want. Make it a conscious decision.
Believe – In order to believe that you are going to get whatever it was you asked for in step 1, you should write it down, or draw yourself using it/ interacting with it – doing whatever you do with what you asked for! If you write it down, write as if you already have it – describe how you feel, what you can smell and see when you shut your eyes and imaging using it (or whatever you do with it!!).
Receive – The last part, which is very often the bit that is not done properly with most people is the receiving part. You have to be open to receiving what you are after. You could be brought the thing you are after in any variety of ways, so don’t try to work it out. If you want it, and it is for the greater good*, then you shall receive! Open your arms and accept that it could come in the most unexpected way.
Personally, I think there should be a fourth step, because these three steps are very important, but only take you half way. So I would add:
Action – Once you are open to receiving what you are asking for, you should start doing something. It doesn’t really matter what, if you are on the wrong path you will be corrected, but you will never get what lies ahead if you don’t start walking. You can’t sit back and wait for it to come to you; that is both lazy and for the good of no-one!
This post only goes into the basics, but now I’ve given you an idea about the law of attraction, I would rather leave it in the hands of people who will be able to do it justice to explain the intricacies to you. I would highly recommend you beg, borrow or steal (or maybe to to Amazon and buy) a copy of “The Secret” on DVD.
There is a book called the Secret by the same people, but I don’t own that so I can’t recommend it or not recommend it as the case may be!
*I write here about it being for the greater good – I mean that if it will help people to do what you are doing, and you are not doing it for purely selfish reasons.
