Law of Attraction
In its simplest form, the Law of Attraction is said to be a universal law that is: Whatever your mind dwells on, so it will attract. Meaning for example, that if I focus on how little money I have, or how overweight I am, these temporary ‘states’ will remain in place. What I resist persists and I will continue to attract more of the same into my world because I am thinking about it. Another aspect is all thoughts eventually turn into things when the belief that it is a given exists. In practice, if I have a disease and believe that it is incurable – even if it is possible – it is VERY unlikely I will get well. Read Bruce Lipton’s Biology of Belief for a greater explanation of this function.
It is a mystical and misunderstood natural law that has a huge following. However, as society has moved into more of a complaint-driven, social media agenda, most people get more of what they don’t want because that’s all they’re focusing on. They create groups in social media platforms so they can go on about it in a bigger forum. Then they expect the opposite to happen.
This definitive explanation is from Abraham-Hicks(.com), the fountainhead of all the Law of Attraction teachings and the originator of the exposure of these laws in modern times (which was hijacked by The Secret). Great earlier spiritualists such as Neville Goddard knew how it worked but until Esther Hicks started receiving other-worldly inspiration to translate it into the study of a natural law, it was more of a philosophy.
Here are some of its guiding principles in her words.
- YOU ARE A PHYSICAL EXTENSION OF THAT WHICH IS NON-PHYSICAL.
2. YOU ARE HERE IN THIS BODY BECAUSE YOU CHOSE TO BE HERE.
3. THE BASIS OF YOUR LIFE IS FREEDOM; THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE IS JOY.
4. YOU ARE A CREATOR; YOU CREATE WITH YOUR EVERY THOUGHT.
5. ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE IS YOURS TO BE OR DO OR HAVE.
6. AS YOU ARE CHOOSING YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR EMOTIONS ARE GUIDING YOU.
7. THE UNIVERSE ADORES YOU FOR IT KNOWS YOUR BROADEST INTENTIONS.
8. RELAX INTO YOUR NATURAL WELL-BEING. ALL IS WELL. (REALLY IT IS!)
9. YOU ARE A CREATOR OF THOUGHTWAYS ON YOUR UNIQUE PATH OF JOY.
10. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN AND POSSESSIONS TO BE EXCHANGED ARE BY-PRODUCTS OF YOUR FOCUS ON JOY.
11. YOU MAY APPROPRIATELY DEPART YOUR BODY WITHOUT ILLNESS OR PAIN.
12. YOU CAN NOT DIE; YOU ARE EVERLASTING LIFE.
P.S. It is not necessary for even one other person to understand the Laws of the Universe or the processes that we are offering here in order for you to have a wonderful, happy, productive Life Experience — for you are the attractor of your own experience. Just you!
In certain powerful belief systems, such as the I AM Living Christ movement, the Law of Attraction is fundamental.
Well, that’s what the Law of Attraction is. It sounds a bit woo-hoo but it has saved my life on a number of occasions when depression and unhappiness at my continued pain drove me to some very bad thoughts. I know it works and I know you will get something from listening to some of the content that is freely available. There are so many Youtube videos that explain it much better than I. You would be remiss in your spiritual quests if you ignore it.
