The Lovely Law of Life
Have you ever wondered why one person’s life seemed so blessed, and another’s seems so cursed? How can it be so impossible for someone to encounter a good situation? There are many differences between that person who always seems to hit the red lights, their car always breaks down, they get hurt, things go wrong, and they always seem broke; whereas the person who is always happy, always has money, loves their life, and can always find a reason to smile and apparently just knows all the right people. The truth is, the difference between a lucky and an unlucky person is attitude, thoughts, feelings, and overall outlook on everyday situations. It’s not just you being happy despite what goes on in your life, it is the physical manifestations of your life that are parallel to your thoughts and attitude.
What I am referring to is something more popularly referred to today as “The Law of Attraction.” In the past it has been referred to as the “New Thought Movement,” “Energy of Attraction,” “Law of Success,” “practical metaphysics,” and “science of mind.” The myriad of books and groups of individuals that have been released on this topic are never ending. This has been a message from well known philosophers, scientists and religious teachers for many years including Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Jesus, Buddha, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Napoleon Hill, and many more.
According to the movie “The Secret” the definition of the Law of Attraction is- “like attracts like. Your most dominant thoughts, feelings, and actions are exactly what you are constantly bringing and receiving into your everyday life.” YES you are responsible for your outcome, the situations you encounter, the success you achieve, and the happiness you experience all based on your thoughts and your feelings.
The average person tends to have a hard time accepting that they actually do have control over both the good and the bad consequences in their lives. I can understand how it would be difficult for someone to accept that they perhaps had something to do with the car accident that occurred in their life or the debt that continues to pile up, or their health that is going down hill. Because it is so awesome, it occurs whether one accepts it or not.
Maybe the hardest thing is for someone to believe that this could just exist. “Guess what man I just got a thousand dollars thanks to my thoughts!” Okay, so it sounds a little far fetched. But, there is a science to the Law of Attraction, it’s not just a bunch of psycho hippies thinking positive therefore being happy. You can start with Einstein’s e=mc2. This formula explains the relationship between energy and matter. Me, you, and the computer you are staring at are made up of all the same things. When put under a microscope we are all little tiny particles of vibrating energy constantly moving, interchangeable and always changing form. If you take that and apply it to Newton’s laws of gravity it starts to coalesce. The law of gravity is as apparent as you are, but it’s much more complex then you realize. Our solar system would not operate in a way that we could live without the gravitational pull that keeps it in orbit.
According to Newton the Law of Gravity, every massive particle attracts every other massive particle, mass attracts mass. According to research, at the much credited source, The Smithsonian Institute they have been able to physically prove that you can measure a thought. Measuring thoughts proves that thoughts have mass. That means that they consist of matter. They are vibrating particles of energy moving around just like me, you and this computer. Therefore; thoughts attract mass. Understanding something so outstanding is just as difficult as understanding electricity. It’s so complex that you don’t even try and understand it, you just take advantage of it’s benefits.
It’s not surprising, when you think about it. Every religious person that I know will tell you that praying is a powerful thing. So generally when someone is praying, they are asking God for what they desire. Well, have you ever tried to pray without thinking? Whether it’s God or the Universe manifesting situations into your life, it’s happening whether you like it or not. It was in the mid-1800’s when self help, for things like diseases and illnesses in the body, began to be shown possible. Looking at this, being the curious human beings we are, if we can heal ourselves with our mind, what else can we do with our minds?
According to the 6th edition of the Columbia Encyclopedia by H. W. Dresser The name the “New Thought Movement” was adopted in the 1890’s and was deliberately created to draw a wide variety of interests from healing yourself, to bringing success into your life. This movement was meant to be an intensely individualistic and optimistic approach to life and everything in it. There were conventions held from 1894 through 1914 and there was even an International New Thought Alliance organized which consisted of small groups all following the same teaching. Through the creative and constructive use of one’s mind one can attain freedom, power, prosperity and everything they could want to apply to their bodies as well as their everyday lives. The power of the law of attraction has come in and out of awareness for thousands and thousands of years. This is quite understandable considering our lovely society which is conditioned to live life around a realm of drama and grow more and more into material and further from themselves.
If the law of attraction is what it’s spoken to be then that means that everything you have ever wanted in your life is within your reach, closer then you ever realized. You want to be wealthy you must think wealthy, you must never allow one feeling of debt or sacrifice when you are spending money, you must think and feel like you have enough money for anything. On the other hand, if you are constantly saying the words,” I don’t want to be late, I don’t want to be late, I don’t want to be late,” you are going to be late. What you must say is “I want to be on time, I want to be on time, I want to be on time.” The purpose is to always think and feel what you want, not what you don’t want.
Throughout the years there have been quite a few concepts that refer to the Law of Attraction just in different words, things that require your belief in order for you to achieve. For instance, The Placebo Affect. According to Natural Health Vol 40 Issue 5 this idea was criticized until the 1950’s when it was then studied more and proven to be very very effective. The concept is that a doctor gives a patient a sugar pill for example, he then tells his patient that this sugar pill is their medicine. Generally this person would believe with all of their hearts that this pill was their medicine and that it was going to help them get better. Often times this also means the person will be familiar with the common side affects that accompany the medicine and therefor those are also part of their sugar pill experience. Studies have shown that the Placebo Affect is affective in 60% of subjects, that means there is no adequate evidence to show that new medicines work any better then that. It really says a lot that thousands of people can be cured of illnesses just because they think they have been given medicine when really they haven't been given any at all. People these days are conditioned to think that whatever illness they have can only be cured by a doctor’s prescription, the Placebo Affect not only brings hope for more natural and self healing but also to the realization of what we can do to our own bodies just by the way we feel and think about it.
You might have also heard the phrase “stress creates disease.” When you are stressed you are not thinking happy easy going thoughts or humming the tune to “Don’t Worry be Happy.” When you are stressed you are thinking about things that are not going the right way, either way it results in something negative. According to Issue 3: PG38 of Health Source - Consumer Edition it has been proven that stress physically breaks down the immune system. The break down of the immune system is the first step in the development of cancer. The Smithsonian Institute did a study on the mind projected on water. First, they had a priest bless water, under a microscope they could see that the actual structure of the molecules began to change, it was a very organized, symmetrical and beautiful structure. Then they projected negative thoughts on the water by concentrating and writing negative things on it’s container like “anger,” “hate,” “sadness” etc. This time when the structure changed it was unorganized, sporadic and chaotic. According to ga.water.usgs.gov our bodies are made up of an average of 70% water, if The Smithsonian Institute proved that you can change the structure of water molecules with your thoughts, then what could you do to your own body with your thoughts?
I would like to explain the situation of a now 22 year old girl name Caeri Baker. Throughout Caeri’s life she had multiple people who had done her wrong, she had an outlook from past situations that people would continue to do this. Caeri’s first tattoo was one that she thought was definitely justified. It was a large “X” and right above it read “Insert knife here,” this was to show that she was expecting people to, metaphorically of course, stab her in the back. According to the Law of Attraction an attitude towards people like this would bring about more and more people and situations in her life where she would be done wrongly or betrayed. Sometimes this law can work more specifically then just that.
Just like anyone Caeri had hobbies. Included in these hobbies was dirt biking. What was expected to be a fun exciting time on the sand, Caeri’s day at Dumont Dunes 3 and a half years ago would change her life. Sand and sun creates a tricky illusion and without the proper awareness you can find yourself running into a large drop off that you didn’t realize was there. This is what happened to Caeri, who described as being the “fastest slow motion ever,” she fell 60 feet on an unexpected jump while following someone who was much more experienced then her. Caeri severed her spinal cord that day, oddly enough, they had to insert knife directly in the exact spot where she had told the Universe to insert it with the permanent ink on her back. Of course this can be written off as coincidence, but is it really? Or is it the Law of Attraction at it’s most accurate work? Her situation does not stop there. Caeri’s severed spinal cord caused her to be paralyzed. At 19 years old she could no longer walk, she could do nothing independently that had to do with the bottom half of her body. She was aware of the fact that the situation could have been worse and she was grateful to be alive, little did she know.. her situation was supposed to be a lot worse. About a month after her accident doctors were looking at her x-rays, they realized that they had falsely diagnosed Caeri. She was not supposed to a paraplegic, she was supposed to be a quadriplegic. Because Caeri was told that she could move her arms she of course thought that she could move her arms; therefor she could. As astonished as she was, she was once again presented with something else to be thankful for. In a rehabilitation center in California she was constantly being told to read the book I brought up earlier, “The Secret.” They told her that it would help her, that the only way she will ever be able to walk is if she can use her mind to tell her legs to move. Since then she has made more progress then most of the paralyzed do for their entire life, from moving her toe, to flexing her muscles, and thanks to her attitude she knows it’s only going to get better.
Caeri’s story of how her thoughts and feeling towards life and certain situations can manifest into something real is just one out of a million examples. The thing about the Law of Attraction is that what you believe and you feel is really true is what you are going to get. It’s normal in this day and age for people to think things have to be a certain way despite the amazing leaps in technology we are constantly achieving. The fact is, if you were to try and test the Law of Attraction for the benefit of yourself, just try something simple for example getting the perfect parking spot at work, if you doubt that it is true and doubt that you could really shift the Universe in ways that you would get that spot, then that’s all you will get, something to doubt.
This ancient metaphysical law has been around for thousands of years, though there are still many who would never give such an amazing thing a chance for the sake of their beloved everyday drama, it is becoming more and more known and accepted. Your first step is to research this for your own sake, try it for yourself, and hopefully begin transforming your life into everything you want, rather then everything you do not want. You will find that there is a very distinct difference in that person who’s life always goes wrong, and that person who’s life always goes perfect; that difference is positive and negative.

The Lovely Law of Everyday Life
Have you ever wondered why one person’s life seemed so blessed, and another’s seems so cursed? Is it impossible for you to cross a good situation? There are so many differences between that person who always seems to hit the red lights, their car always breaks down, they get hurt, things go wrong, and they always seem broke; whereas the person who is always happy, always has money, loves their life, and can always find a reason to smile and apparently just knows all the right people.

The fact is, if you were to try and test the Law of Attraction for the benefit of yourself, just by something simple for example getting the perfect parking spot at work, if you doubt that it is true and doubt that you could really shift the Universe in ways that you would get that spot, then that’s all you will get, something to doubt.
This ancient metaphysical law has been around for thousands of years, though there are still many who would never give such an amazing thing a chance for the sake of their beloved everyday drama, it is becoming more and more known and accepted. Your first step is to research this for your own sake, try it for yourself, and hopefully begin transforming your life into everything you want, rather then everything you do not want.

This is just a draft with no ending to show that I am writing
Have you ever wondered why one person’s life seemed so blessed, and another’s is impossible to cross a good situation? There is so much different between that person who always seems to hit the red lights, their car breaks, they get hurt, things go wrong, and they are always broke; then the person who is always happy, always has money, loves life, and can always find a reason to smile. People have a hard time excepting that they just might control their outcome, unless it is a good thing, then they could not help their life go in the direction that it did. I can understand how it would be hard for someone to except that maybe they had something to do with the car accident they had coming into their life. The fact is, you do have control, this is something that has been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, people have just been too tied up in their closed minds to realize it.
What I am referring to is something more popularly referred to today as “The Law of Attraction.” In the past it has been referred to as the “New Thought Movement,” “Energy of Attraction,” “Law of Success,” “practical metaphysics,” and “science of mind.” The groups and number of books that have been released on this topic are never ending. According to the movie THE SECRET the definition of the Law of Attraction is- like attracts like, your most dominant thoughts, feelings, and actions are exactly what you are constantly bringing and receiving in your everyday life. This has been a message from well known philosophers and religious teachers for millions of years including Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Jesus, Buddha and many many more.
It’s not surprising, when you think about it, every religious person I know will tell you that praying is a powerful thing. So generally if someone is praying they are asking God for what they want, well have you ever tried to pray without thinking? Whether it’s God or the Universe manifesting situations into your life, it’s happening whether you like it or not. it It was in the mid 1800’s when self help for things like diseases and illnesses in the body began to be shown possible, looking at this, being the curious human beings we are, if we can heal ourselves with our mind, what else can we do with our minds? According to the 6th edition of the Columbia Encyclopedia by H. W. Dresser The name the “New Thought Movement” was adopted in the 1890’s and was purposely to draw a wide variety of interests from healing yourself, to bringing success into your life. This movement was meant to be an intensely individualistic and optimistic approach to life and everything in it. There were conventions held from 1894 through 1914 and there was an International New Thought Alliance put together, this was containing small groups all following the same teaching. Through the creative and constructive use of one’s mind one can attain freedom, power, prosperity and everything they could want to apply to their bodies as well as their everyday lives. The power of the law of attraction has come in and out of awareness for thousands and thousands of years. This is very understandable considering our lovely society which is conditioned to live life around a realm of drama and grow more and more into material and further from themselves.
There is a science to the Law of Attraction, it’s not just a bunch of psycho hippies thinking positive therefor being happy. You can start with Einstein’s e=mc2. This formula explains the relationship between energy and matter. Me, you, and the computer you are staring at are made up of all the same things. When put under a microscope we are all little tiny particles of vibrating energy constantly moving, interchangeable and always changing form. So you if you take that and apply it to Newton’s laws of gravity it starts to come together. The law of gravity is as apparent as you are, but it’s much more complex then you realize. Our solar system would not operate in a way that we could live without the gravitational pull that keeps it in orbit. According to Newton the law of gravity is that every massive particle attracts every other massive particle, mass attracts mass. According to research at the much credited source The Smithsonian Institute they have been able to physically prove that you can measure a thought. Measuring thoughts proved that thoughts have mass, that means that they are matter, they are vibrating energy moving around just like me, you and this computer, therefor; thoughts attract mass. Understanding something so outstanding is just as difficult as understanding electricity, its so complex that you dont even try and understand it, you just take advantage of it’s benefits.
If the law of attraction is what it’s spoken to be then that means that everything you have ever wanted in your life is in your reach, closer then you ever realized. You want to be wealthy you must think wealthy, you must never feel one feeling of debt or sacrifice when you are spending money, you must think and feel like you have enough money for anything. Vise versa, if you are constantly saying the words, I don’t want to be late I don’t want to be late I dont want to be late, you are going to be late, what you must say is I want to be on time, i want to be on time, I want to be on time. The purpose is to always think and feel what you want, not what you dont want.
Throughout the years there have been quite a few concepts that refer to the Law of Attraction just in different words, things that require your belief in order for you to achieve. For instance, The Placebo Affect. According to Natural Health Vol 40 Issue 5 this idea was criticized until the 1950’s when it was then studied more and proven to be very very effective. The concept is that a doctor gives a patient a sugar pill for example, he tells his patient that this sugar pill is their medicine. Generally this person would believe with all of their hearts that this pill was their medicine and that it was going to help them get better, often times this also means the person will be familiar with the common side affects that accompany the medicine and therefor those are also part of their sugar pill experience. Studies have shown that the Placebo Affect is affective in 60% of subjects, that means there is no adequate evidence to show that new medicines work any better then that. It really says a lot that thousands of people can be cured of illnesses just because they think they have been given medicine when really they haven't been given any at all. People these days are conditioned to think that whatever illness they have can only be cured by a doctor’s prescription, the Placebo Affect not only brings hope for more natural and self healing but also to the realization of what we can do to our own bodies just by the way we feel and think about it.

Annotated Bibliography # 1-5 & Source Analysis

Mccracken, Kristi. "Educationally speaking; Recession-proof your mind" Porterville Recorder, The.(July 2010): p68-95. Paper Source. Web. 3 Nov 2010.
Summary: Recession proof your mind. When the world is talking about a recession you should think the complete opposite. Rich people have developed a habit of always thinking big and knowing they are rich. The articles refers to the movie THE SECRET, and talks about how you receive what you think, therefor if you open up a bill and you think debt, you will get more debt.
Reflection: I love finding all these articles that talk about things that are the law of attraction but in different words. readind more about things like this it makes me think about how i see it in my everyday life and how i know people in my life who really have no money, and i just so happen to hear them talk about how broke they are all the time, If only they started to think they were getting rich. I am going to now go read the movie "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind."

Boe, John. "The Magic of Positive Thinking." American Salesman, Vol 54 issue 7(July 2009):PG 17-19. MasterFILE Premier. 3 NOV 2010.
SUMMARY: This article does not say that positive thinking will manifest a positive situation but what it does say is that any situation you are in can be positive depending on how you are perceiving the situation. It says that it depends on you to be aware of your attitude and to try not to have negative minded people. You will be a failure if failure is what you think. You are what you think.
Reflection: I really love how it says the key is to look for opportunity. I think it was very effective when he gave the quote from Thomas Edison "There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start anew." after a building with 2,000,0000 of equipment of his was burned down. Learning to use the Law of Attraction doesnt work if you can not learn to change situations that you would normally perceive as bad into something good. every door that closes, another one opens.

SUMMARY: This article refers to when the Law of Attraction was referred to the New Thought Movement which was the late 1800's and the early 1900's, it began after the discovery of what disease can to your body and it became an entire movement. There were conventions held and the international new thought movement alliance was formed. It was a new approach on life and conduct. The new thought movement had people like ralph waldo trine who later became well known.
Reflection: The more I research the more names I find for the law of attraction. I like to find things from a long time ago. The law of attraction to a lot of people they have to TRY to believe it, me I have proven it to myself so many times over the past few years that I know it's true, so finding articles like this to show that there was once a movement in a time like that is very rewarding.

Pitts, Willis. Cancer and the Power of Positive Thinking. Total Health, Vol. 15 Issue 3,(JUNE 93): PG38. Health Source - Consumer Edition. 29 oCT 2010.
Summary: This article speaks of cancer and the severity of it. It talks about how at this time on average cancer took a life every single minute. It was highest killer of kids from age 3 to 14. As much money and effort that is put into finding a cure for cancer there is still no luck, and no matter what awesome thing the world does the cure for cancer is not one of them. This article talks about how the first step for the development of cancer is the break down of the immune system. It has been proven that the immune system is improved with good self esteem, happiness, and an over all positive thinking.
Reflection: I like this article just because it is a scholarly source to show what I already knew. The movie The Secret features a lady who got breast cancer and was cured within 3 months with no treatment except for laughter and positive thnking. Its proven that stress creates disease, which makes sense if the immune system can be improved with positive thinking then the immune system can be put down by negative thinking. I personally know a person who was paralized, they told her her level of severity which would be from right below the arms down, 3 months later looking at those x rays again realizing that they diagnosed her wrong, and she is was supposed to be a quadrapalegic, but because she thouht she was supposed to still be able to use her arms, she can.

Marglin, Elizabeth. "The PLACEBO Affect." Natural Health, , Vol. 40 Issue 5 (June 2010): p68-95. Health Source - Consumer Edition. Web. 28 Oct 2010.
Summary: The mind-body connection plays a huge — and hugely underestimated — role in our ability to heal ourselves. The placebo was very underestimated and thought to be bogus until the mid 1950's when studies were done and the affect of placebo's started to become taken seriously. "Salt injections masquerading as morphine actually decreased pain; fake knee surgery improved mobility in the joints. Conversely, "nocebo" effects (the unpleasant, and even harmful reactions that arise in a patient after taking a placebo as a treatment known to have negative side effects) also had to be considered." This article also talks about drug companies and how this would affect them. It refers to the fact that people are conditions, which is true, to reach for medicine and to of course only THINK IN THEIR MIND that a pill is the only thing that will save them.
Refliection: The Placebo affect is very helpful when it comes to backing up the law of attraction. The law of attraction is based on bringing what you think. Of course if you think the sugar pill is medicine it is definitely going work like medicine. The article also speaks of how when people see a doctor in their typical white coat they already start to feel better and less stressed, this wraps back to the law in a way that it is proven that stress creates disease so if you are taking something even though it doesn't have any medication in it you are creating a healthier you just by feeling better and less stressed. You are what you think.

Mccracken, Kristi. "Educationally speaking; Recession-proof your mind" Porterville Recorder, The.(July 2010): p68-95. Paper Source. Web. 3 Nov 2010.
The purpose of this article is to relay to people that in a time like this in our country when all you hear is words like debt, recession, low economy, you should shift your mind to think the opposite which should help your life to do the opposite of debt and recession. The audience of this article might be someone like me, doing research, or most likely someone who runs a business and is looking into the way the economy has affected people who now are lacking confidence to spend money on their business and take risks like they normally would. Given the information that I have provided to me about this author I can not say what her background is but considering the topic I dont believe that there are any biases. The only thing that could be considered is if maybe someone simply refused to believe that just an attitude could help a business.

Boe, John. "The Magic of Positive Thinking." American Salesman, Vol 54 issue 7(July 2009):PG 17-19. MasterFILE Premier. 3 NOV 2010.
The purpose of this article is to tell people the importance of having a positive attitude and how maintaining a calm focused, positive mind can some times be a challenge it is well worth the effort. You must focus on thinking positive even times where all your mind wants to do is think about the not so positive situation. this also includes staying away from people who are negative which can also be an obstacle depending on the part they play in your life. According to this article every bad situation has an opportunity, a way to perceive the event as good, a bright side to all dark spots. The audience of this article would be people who are either researching things that have to do with mental self help or people who are already very into metaphysical things, the power of the mind is not a secret anymore. I am not sure what the background to this author would be but he gives a recommendation to 10 different books that are about the power of positive thinking, creating success, and mind. Giving these books as a reference I think help me be confident in the article because I can then go and look at 10 different books to read how they would explain the same thing. I dont think there is any biases in this other then the fact that the author believes that the mind can affect life in either negative or positive ways where as someone else might believe you have no control over the situations you encounter in your life.

Pitts, Willis. Cancer and the Power of Positive Thinking. Total Health, Vol. 15 Issue 3,(JUNE 93): PG38. Health Source - Consumer Edition. 29 oCT 2010.
The purpose of this article is to bring people to awareness about the immune system, its cause when its weak and how your attitude plays an affect. They do a very good job of introducing all the information, starting with cancer statistics and then talking about how cancer starts (break down of immune system) and then talking about what major things affect the immune system. They talk about how it is proven that the immune system is improved with a good attitude, good self esteem, and very little stress. The audience for this article could be people who are interested in the mind and how it affects health overall, the audience could be people who are battling health problems and are seeking natural treatment and cures. I feel confident in this article because they reference their sources and have a lot of factual statistical information to analyze the situation. I do not know anything about the author but I feel that they have a very professional tone in this article which also increases my level of confidence in it.

It has been proven that the immune system is improved with good self esteem, happiness, and an over all positive thinking.
Reflection: I like this article just because it is a scholarly source to show what I already knew. The movie The Secret features a lady who got breast cancer and was cured within 3 months with no treatment except for laughter and positive thnking. Its proven that stress creates disease, which makes sense if the immune system can be improved with positive thinking then the immune system can be put down by negative thinking. I personally know a person who was paralized, they told her her level of severity which would be from right below the arms down, 3 months later looking at those x rays again realizing that they diagnosed her wrong, and she is was supposed to be a quadrapalegic, but because she thouht she was supposed to still be able to use her arms, she can.

Marglin, Elizabeth. "The PLACEBO Affect." Natural Health, , Vol. 40 Issue 5 (June 2010): p68-95. Health Source - Consumer Edition. Web. 28 Oct 2010.
Summary: The mind-body connection plays a huge — and hugely underestimated — role in our ability to heal ourselves. The placebo was very underestimated and thought to be bogus until the mid 1950's when studies were done and the affect of placebo's started to become taken seriously. "Salt injections masquerading as morphine actually decreased pain; fake knee surgery improved mobility in the joints. Conversely, "nocebo" effects (the unpleasant, and even harmful reactions that arise in a patient after taking a placebo as a treatment known to have negative side effects) also had to be considered." This article also talks about drug companies and how this would affect them. It refers to the fact that people are conditions, which is true, to reach for medicine and to of course only THINK IN THEIR MIND that a pill is the only thing that will save them.
Refliection: The Placebo affect is very helpful when it comes to backing up the law of attraction. The law of attraction is based on bringing what you think. Of course if you think the sugar pill is medicine it is definitely going work like medicine. The article also speaks of how when people see a doctor in their typical white coat they already start to feel better and less stressed, this wraps back to the law in a way that it is proven that stress creates disease so if you are taking something even though it doesn't have any medication in it you are creating a healthier you just by feeling better and less stressed. You are what you think.

Mccracken, Kristi. "Educationally speaking; Recession-proof your mind" Porterville Recorder, The.(July 2010): p68-95. Paper Source. Web. 3 Nov 2010.
The purpose of this article is to relay to people that in a time like this in our country when all you hear is words like debt, recession, low economy, you should shift your mind to think the opposite which should help your life to do the opposite of debt and recession. The audience of this article might be someone like me, doing research, or most likely someone who runs a business and is looking into the way the economy has affected people who now are lacking confidence to spend money on their business and take risks like they normally would. Given the information that I have provided to me about this author I can not say what her background is but considering the topic I dont believe that there are any biases. The only thing that could be considered is if maybe someone simply refused to believe that just an attitude could help a business.

The purpose of this article is to tell people the importance of having a positive attitude and how maintaining a calm focused, positive mind can some times be a challenge it is well worth the effort. You must focus on thinking positive even times where all your mind wants to do is think about the not so positive situation. this also includes staying away from people who are negative which can also be an obstacle depending on the part they play in your life. According to this article every bad situation has an opportunity, a way to perceive the event as good, a bright side to all dark spots. The audience of this article would be people who are either researching things that have to do with mental self help or people who are already very into metaphysical things, the power of the mind is not a secret anymore. I am not sure what the background to this author would be but he gives a recommendation to 10 different books that are about the power of positive thinking, creating success, and mind. Giving these books as a reference I think help me be confident in the article because I can then go and look at 10 different books to read how they would explain the same thing. I dont think there is any biases in this other then the fact that the author believes that the mind can affect life in either negative or positive ways where as someone else might believe you have no control over the situations you encounter in your life.

The purpose of this article is to bring people to awareness about the immune system, its cause when its weak and how your attitude plays an affect. They do a very good job of introducing all the information, starting with cancer statistics and then talking about how cancer starts (break down of immune system) and then talking about what major things affect the immune system. They talk about how it is proven that the immune system is improved with a good attitude, good self esteem, and very little stress. The audience for this article could be people who are interested in the mind and how it affects health overall, the audience could be people who are battling health problems and are seeking natural treatment and cures. I feel confident in this article because they reference their sources and have a lot of factual statistical information to analyze the situation. I do not know anything about the author but I feel that they have a very professional tone in this article which also increases my level of confidence in it.

"As above,n so below.

"the predominant thought or the mental attitude is the magnet, and the law is that like attract like, consequently, the mental attitude will invariably attract such conditions as correspond to its nature."
Charles Haanel (1866-1949)
thoughts are magnetic and thoughts have a frequency, as you think, those thoughts are sent out into the universe, and they magnetically attract all like things that are on the same frequency.
"The vibrations of mental forces are the finest and consequently the most powerful in existence."
Charles Haanel
We live in a universe in which ther are laws, just as there is a law of gravity. If you fall off a building, it doesnt matter if you are a good person or bad person, you're going to hit the ground.
-Michael Bernard Beckwith
Most of us attract by default. We just think that we dont have any control over it. Our thoughts and feelings are on autopilot, and so everything is brought to us by default.
- Bob Doyle
