Big Lie #4 - The Law of Attraction!
Ever since the great little movie called The Secret came out, many people have been led to believe that The Law of Attraction will somehow magically bring you what you want. This, of course, is not true. Yes, there are forces at work in the universe that have been called the Law of Attraction; but the allegory of Aladdin's Genie extolling that "your wish is my command" needs to be balanced with the old proverb, "If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride". We all know in our hearts that simply wishing for something does not make it happen.We also know that somehow certain people do have their wishes come true and sometimes prayers are answered. So how can this be?What kind of universal law works sometimes and not other times; works for some people and not for others?The fact is that it does work all the time and it does equally apply to all people.If it was not universally true, then it could not be called a Law.
It is only an incomplete understanding and the lack of correct application that makes it seem as if it is not working.What is this Law of Attraction and how does it work?Simply put it is this: like energy is attracted to like energy.We know that everything in the entire universe is composed of patterns of energy.
This energy vibrates in certain ways to produce wave forms that collapse to become the fundamental sub-atomic quantum particles that make up all matter, all things.How and why quantum waves collapse to become particles that make up the stuff of the universe is a wondrous understanding, too long to go into here in any detail. Let's just say that it is the focus of attention of an aware consciousness that acts to create manifest reality.
Modern science and ancient metaphysicas both agree on this.How can you get this Law of Attraction to work in your favor?
How can you use your understanding of it to produce real world results?The simple explanation is that you do not attract what you want; you attract that which is most alike how you are being, how you are behaving energetically.What determines you energetic output?It is a vibratory mixture that includes your predominant and repetitive thoughts, feelings, actions, expectations and intentions.So, if you want to know what your energetic output is, ask yourself...What am I thinking? What am I feeling? What am I doing? What am I expecting? Why?You will attract (and be attracted to) what is most alike that mix.Yes, what you think about, you bring about; BUT ONLY when your actions are in harmony with your ideals.
Actions are critical. Actions produce results. Thinking or wishing alone does not produce tangible results.The Law of attraction is about behavior. The behavior of energy in the universe and your behavior.
If you want to know what you have been attracting, look at your results.
If you want to attract different things, events and circumstances, then you must change.Change your choice of mental output. Change your choice of emotional output.
Change your expectations. Change what you do.
Change your behavior and you will change what you attract and are attracted to.The Law of attraction says that your choices determine your results.
Such is your freedom and your power.
