How "the law of attraction" works

Hi group,

Very interesting thread and I've read most of it (lol...it's long). I've seen LOA (if you want to call it that) work in my life, both positive and negative, even though I didn't know what it was at the time. I can also call it faith since I am a Christian and this fits very well into the Christian way of thinking. I believe this is one of the laws of the universe set it place by our higher power and most of us are just not taught how to harness it.

I have a few matters in my life I'm working to resolve so I wrote down four major affirmations that I keep in front of me daily. I held to the reasoning that they should not be too specific but specific enough to get the job done. I'm wondering when is the best time to let them go? Does one just get a feeling that it's time? And, does one truly ever let them go? I seem to try to let one of them go only to find myself dwelling on it again. Is this due to lack of training?

Thanks so much for the thread. I'm glad I found it.

It is not the visualisation that creates anything, but the energy/emotion/excitement which acts as a magnetic signal.

I'd like some elaboration on this, please. How exactly would I visualize in three dimensions, as opposed to the flat plane that most are used to? Whenever I visualize, I don't see 'all around me,' I see the blackness in front of my eyes. If visualizing in 3d makes visualization more effective, then how can I do it properly?

The point is to allow the "visualization" to be more real, to be within the picture/reality rather than an observer of it, rather than one who desires it from an outside viewpoint.

But if it takes effort to do, dont do it. Instead, go to a physical location that represents the fullfillment of the desire...then you dont have to visualize it but can actually feel it and sync into it directly.

I thought I'd add my perspective on using the law of attraction, ill also be summarizing it: Your attracting what your vibrating at for that subject and you know what you're vibrating at by how you feel, You shouldn't try to think a thought to get something to do something for example us autosuggestion to get something, use creative visualization to manifest something as you'll be sending conflicting signals because you don't have it, im doing something so i get it. instead use creative visualization because its fun, that should also be the reason why you think a positive thought. Jesus and the other master managed could manifest easily because they're overall vibration was very high, as you keep increasing your vibration you'll get to manifest faster, though I doubt instantly as they were very highly evolved beings. More comments on these being and manifesting instantly

This might be a bit off topic but many people suffer for example if you lose your house, your car, your wife/husband your friends, because you make it a part of you, so you suffer because you lose a part of you, you dont have to make anything a part of you. When you get attached to something then you start to fear, fear losing it though usually unconciously, you can enjoy life without being attached. Dan Millman(way of the peaceful warrior a popular author made his gymnastics a part of him, he lived in fear, he had dreams of getting injured and not be able to do gymnastics, then he broke his leg in an accident LOA this is only once case, another way to deal with fear is to recognise it as not real.

Its true that if you are visualizing "in order to GET something" rather than just-for-fun, you are radiating lack-energy.

The movie is only "OK", and the book really is weak. If people are interested in the subject, there are thousands of books that are better. Nevertheless, its the bestselling book on the subject. People like fast-food.

They will find out soon enough that they really have to invest wholehearted focus on their goals

Some people said that the following quote was from Goethe, but It's only part of it.

It has lots to do with that topic:

'But when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money--booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!'

- W. H. Murray

To all who participated on this thread:

Fabulous job! I enjoyed every page. It took me about a week of diligent reading and then I followed many of the links listed as well. Thank you so much for the powerful information here.

Hi Skyfloating. I consider myself with a strong interest on the subject of the law of attraction and it doesn't seem to work very well for an odd reason? Any advice?

It's nice to see someone putting it more intellectually.

I agree with you that Meditating on the experience and accepting it, feeling it, and enjoying it is the key. It makes your brain switch frequency channels to accept the manifestation of what you are already experiencing..

You have to be joyful about what you have as well. Be of good cheer.

I'm relieved to see you speak about the fact that thinking positively is not the same as ignoring your circumstances. More people are starting to understand it.

Great stuff. Thankyou!!!!!!!

You have to visuallze it as if you are actually standing there in full 3D reality. Look at it, look around you, enjoy the experience and accept it as if it is actually happening.

I like this thread as well, I am pretty new to the entire concept of LoA but it is extremely interesting to say the least. I really do like learning mroe adn more and this is a source i feel is on track.

The secret I think was a good introduction but like most say it isnt the best source to continue to learn but I thought i twas at least a good introduction.

Has anyone here who has experienced consciously purposeful manifestations listened to the Your Wish Is Your Command series? and what did you think about it?

You don't attract what you want, you attract who you are.

You don't get what you want, you get what resonates with you.

It's all about telling the Universe what is familiar to you. You get what is familiar.

You get more of the same.

You get more of what you already have.

Reality is made by validation.

The power or mental suggestion:

I was in university, at class, then I imagined a pink cloud/aura around my teacher.

I also send thoughs like: "I like you, you are my friend, I like the way you speak, etc..."

10 minutes later he tells me to get up and hug him. He can be what we call "extroverted", he jokes around, etc, but he never did that kind of CONTACT before with anyone else! And I don't even go to his class with frequency!

I also realized that almost noone make eye contact with the speaker. Just by mantaining eye contact and giving them attention/approval/appreciation you make friends with them!

Or, in some cases, make LOVE with them.

i agree with that i guess it is the definition of life truth being the other source you mean existing of,

but the sense is not for realities life it is for free life realisations, which is one step beyond that existing living fact

Ive always like this topic. Tagging it to read later this evening.
Peace!

I have used visualisation all my life. It comes fairly naturally to me and I tend to get results. When I first came across various books, mostly from the 60s and 70s, about laws of attraction, I realised that they described very much what I did.

I often go through scenarios in my mind very vividly and when the events happen it always feels like 'deja vu'. This brings me to my question. Why is it that when you get what you want, there is little excitement or joy. It is as if you always had the thing already and no big deal.

Perhaps I am doing this thing correctly and the feeling of satisfaction happens during the vizualisation and not when you physical get what you want.
