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.
