Now this is an interesting question since the part of the mind that determines your Success or Failure throughout life for the most part is the subconscious and it doesn’t know the difference between real or imagined.

One of the biggest controversies seems to be between Traditional Christians and New Agers (whatever a New Ager is). Now exactly what is the difference? I don’t think anyone can really answer that. They seem to simply have different interpretations of Gods instructions as to how things are supposed to work in this world and can’t agree on Gods Laws (or as some call it the Laws of the Universe), but neither do different denominations of Christianity and various Religions. So what is new here?

Many people believe the Law of Attraction is a fad, or is something new. It is not new. It is as old as time itself and has been discussed and written about throughout history and dates back to early teachings in the Old Testament. As a matter of fact there is as much written in the Bible about the Law of Attraction as any other writing in recorded history. What does “According to your faith…”, “As a man thinketh…”, “seek and you shall find…” mean to you? This is nothing more than the Law of Attraction, but the old name for it is simply “Reaping what we sow” or “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he”. So why do some call it New Age or some other passing fad?

We will never understand all there is to know in this lifetime, but here is what I do know:

If your Religion does not enable you to have real spiritual power to overcome and accomplish anything. It is Not Gods Religion!

Could it be that we fear what we do not totally understand? Or is it simply old habits and what we were raised to believe?

Just remember many, many, many (I think you get the point) things that people have believed throughout history have been proven totally false. Think about that; they lived their entire lives with an imagined reality; it wasn’t real at all! (But it was real to them; therefore it was their reality) For instance, some people thought they lived on a flat planet. Let’s take this to another level entirely;

People with schizophrenia believe their hallucinations are real – and that the rest of the world is bizarre. This is their reality, what if the person or thing they see is real and we just can’t see it? To them we are the crazy ones and that is their reality, whatever they see real or imagined; it is real to them and if all 5 of their senses say its real is it not real?

I use the above example, because it is reality to these people and I want you to open your mind to its potential.

Science and technology is finding and creating new realities at an ever increasing rate. Our realities and belief systems will naturally evolve and change with them.

Do you think you could find anybody living today that believes the earth is flat? I doubt it, but how many people could you find that still don’t believe a man was ever on the moon? Believe it or not there is still a large group of people that do not believe it ever happened, even though the majority does.

Now on the other hand if you ask any person under 40 I am sure they all believe a man was on the moon, even though they weren’t even alive when it happened and have no hard evidence that it did happen. Why do they believe it and some people that were here when it happened don’t believe it.

Because the mind cannot believe what it cannot conceive and many of these people lived through an era that had never even heard of TV or a record player (remember those). A car and an airplane was still relatively new technology and now you’re telling me you’re going to the moon. That is a fairy tale! On the other hand, the younger crowd doesn’t even question it; they have just accepted it as fact, because they were raised as though it was fact, in a different era that supports it as fact. It is simply an accepted belief.

How many things do you think we believe to be real or true today that we will find later wasn’t correct at all? Or do you think we now have it all figured out and have all the answers with nothing new to discover? I hope we are not still that naive.

For those of you old enough, think back 25 years and just think about this, could you have ever believed or imagined the technology we have in an automobile alone? And that is just the tip of the iceberg;

• We now have a car that will park it-self and also tell you if it needs anything or isn’t feeling well. Would you have believed it?
• Home phones and all wired phones are almost obsolete, would you have believed it?
• Computers are the basis of everything we do, without them now the world as we know it would be total chaos, would you have believed that possible in 1985?
• What it took a large building full of office equipment, with several employees to do 25 short years ago, can now be carried in your pocket. Would you have believed it?
• You do not need an album, or a CD to play music, you can carry thousands of songs with the highest quality fidelity available on a device the size of a cigarette lighter or on your phone in your pocket. Would you have believed it?
• Many new technologies continue to unfold, that had I not seen or experienced, I would have a hard time believing it was real or even possible

Think about this, before any of this new technology was a reality it was a thought first or it would never have existed.

Could we be living a false reality, based on our still limited belief system? Something that in 50 years, or even less, people will laugh about and say “Can you believe people used to believe that?

Example: What if; using the schizophrenic person from the above example, we find out in the future that these people weren’t crazy at all, but had a special ability to see things that we couldn’t and that we simply believed they were crazy because of something we couldn’t see. Could you believe it? Probably not now, but if something convinced you otherwise you would eventually accept it and future generations wouldn’t even question it or think twice about it. Why? It is simply because it has become accepted reality in our present world. We live in a constantly evolving and changing world. No previous generation from 50 years ago could have imagined the world we live in today. It wasn’t that long ago we only had 3 basic TV channels and the biggest and best TV was 26 inches. Who would have believed the variety and choices we have today?

What does the Law of Attraction have to do with what we believe? Everything! This is what changes and/or creates your reality. It is based on what you believe and your present belief system, and your beliefs are only based on what has been repeatedly fed into your mind by your environment, including the way you were raised or what you have repeatedly thought or done. YOUR THOUGHTS ARE YOUR WORLD AND YOU BROUGHT IT INTO EXISTENCE BASED SOLELY ON YOUR EXPERIENCES AND BELIEFS. You also have the power to change it at anytime, even though this can seem difficult if you do not understand the method for doing so. You have to also remember that your reality or beliefs may be totally different than your neighbors. Who is right? These feelings of being right are so strong they have been the basis of most (if not all) wars throughout history.

Many people are basing their present beliefs and reality on the past and not what is possible in the future. Keep in mind the past is what you have experienced up to this point in your life, you would never change if you didn’t have new experiences and without change you cannot grow.

Is your mind open to your possibilities for the future or is it closed based on the past?

People that keep an open mind are considered people with vision and purpose. They are also the people that accomplish their life’s dreams and goals and create change in the world.

The things you cannot change

The Law of Attraction is as much a reality as the Law of Gravity and the Laws of God & Nature. These laws are not going to change, regardless of your beliefs towards them. It must be this way or you and I would not have the ability to create our reality and have the choice to choose what we believe in. The great accomplishments throughout history and mans victories against impossible odds would have never happened. The miracles of prayer would not be possible. We would not be much more than plant life.

You are Gods creation; the only creation in his image and that makes you a very special and very powerful being, with very special God like powers. Again many groups have different names like the Universal Mind or Infinite Mind, but changing the name does not change anything else. You can call me whatever you want as well, but that doesn’t change who I am. God has many names but he is still God and you are a part of God, created with his essence. Therefore you possess creative Godlike powers. Why is that so hard for people to accept?

Science now understands through Quantum Physics that thought alone does create and can effect change, and not only that; but it is now considered the most powerful energy in the universe.

Let’s see if we are following this so far. “Faith” or believing in yourself is nothing more than thinking about a positive outcome so strongly you can feel it (enthusiastic, upbeat, etc) these are your predominate thoughts, and “Lack of Faith” would be predominantly negative thoughts, which you also feel (depressed, lethargic, etc). Either way these thoughts and feelings bring into your life whatever you predominately think about. God gave you the free will to choose your thoughts. In the Bible this is called “Faith” or “Lack of Faith” and today we call it the “Law of Attraction” and we attract everything into our life we think about good or bad. We have all heard “be careful what you wish for you may get it” that is because it is true.

God even gave you the Secret to making the Law of attraction work for you. It is your feelings. Your feelings are your “God given internal indicator” as to how you are thinking; if you feel good you are thinking in a positive way and bringing good things into your life. If you feel bad you are bringing the opposite. So if you feel bad change your thinking, even if you have to fake it until you feel it.

Now go back and read the last two paragraphs again, because this is the key to your Success in its most basic form.

As a matter of fact some of the new material on The Law of Attraction we have today is actually diluted and weak compared to earlier writings throughout history. The books we have today are nothing more than interpretations of earlier writings and many are very watered down versions. I actually prefer the originals, but many new books on the subject are still very good.

We would all do well to start opening our minds and asking questions, instead of thinking you, your group or religion are the only one with the correct answers to life. I assure you none of us have all the answers and asking questions empowers you and gets your creative juices flowing.

Here are some questions to start with: (I am sure you will think of many more)

• Why would there be so many writings throughout history on the “law of attraction” if there wasn’t something to it?
• Why do some call it New Age or Voodoo and reject it, but say they believe in that Old Time Religion when they are talking about the same dynamics at work?
• Why would you not believe the Bible since it teaches the same principles?
• What is Prayer, if not focused thought? And how is that different than the Law of Attraction?
• How can you believe in the teachings of the Bible and NOT believe in the Law of Attraction?
• There are hundreds if not thousands of Religions, which one is right? And how did you get so lucky as to just so happen to get in the right one? And, more important, what if you’re not?
• If you don’t understand or believe in a Law, does that exempt you from its operation?
• How do you know if something is really real or if you only imagine it to be real? Or is there a difference?
• Is your reality the same as anyone else’s or is it just yours?
• If your reality is only yours, what keeps you from making it anything you want?
• How is the Law of Attraction and the Law of God different?

It is time to come to the realization that no matter what you want to call it, Religion or New Age, it is really the same thing and we all would be much better off to get on the same page.

It blows my mind to hear so many devout church people; that claim to follow the Bible, close their mind to the very teachings of the Bible. The Bible teaches the Supernatural which includes The Law of Attraction.

What is the “Law of Attraction” if it is not the manifestation of physical things through the power of thought?

What is the “Power of Prayer” if it is not the manifestation of physical things through the power of prayer? What is prayer if it is not thought?!?

What is the difference? The only difference is what you choose to call it!

One last thought. The real truth is exact truth and is the one thing that will not change and if the churches of today were teaching the real truth as Jesus taught it, they would not be so divided in so many directions as they are on practically every issue. Yet they all claim they are teaching the real truth. Thousands of denominations and religions are all claiming they have the real truth, but yet there can only be one real truth.

Who is right?

God gave you the real answer and exact truth; and it is already in you, you just have to know how to find it. Continue to Seek and You Shall Find. Just Don’t Quit!

You can make all of your goals and dreams a reality starting today..
Right Here!

Many people believe Law of Attraction (LOA) information is a recent discovery. When one first happens upon LOA this IS true; they’ve had a breakthrough that allows for a different view of life.

Perhaps they discovered LOA by way of a conversation, movie, book, seminar or article. Those who are open to the information find their life takes on a new dimension; one they had no idea existed.

Yet, there are plenty of people who have known about LOA for years. Men and women who have studied the principles for decades.

The fact is, the information has been around for centuries. One need only do a quick Google search on the topic to find multiple resources on how powerful our thoughts and beliefs are in manifesting our experience; good or bad.

According to a posting on The Quality of Life blog, in 1879 the New York Times was the first major newspaper to use the phrase, describing the wagon trains of the Colorado gold rush as ‘moving in obedience to some occult law that overcomes all obstacles in their progress to their destination’.

There were countless books published in the late 1800′s and early 1900′s containing LOA information. These books clearly explain the Law; what we experience on a conscious and tangible level begins with a thought. The thought resides in our conscious mind even though it is our subconscious mind that complies with the conscious mind’s focus. It is the conscious mind that will feed “commands” to the subconscious mind.

It’s likely you have repeatedly heard, “Thoughts are things. Thoughts are things.”

It’s very simple – whatever you think about long enough will come to pass. When groups of people believe the same thing it is sure to come to pass for this group.

Untold numbers of people do not fully understand how powerful their thoughts are. Yet, they continually create ample evidence their thoughts are in fact “creating their reality”.

Although they may attempt to “condition” their thinking with positive thoughts and affirmations, within a very short period they go back to their old way of thinking. Why? Because it is familiar and more comfortable than sticking with the new thought process for indefinite periods of time.

When things continue the way they had been many nay sayers simply affirm, “See, I knew this stuff didn’t work. There is no use in trying.”

Actually, LOA is working for them. The mere fact one affirms LOA doesn’t work prevents it from working on a level they understand thus making it work.

Many people think LOA is only about the good things we manifest. This is not how it works. It works for both our positive and negative thoughts.

For those who do understand how powerful thoughts are, we also realize our conscious thoughts are the breeding ground for intuitive thoughts.

Simply put, when you are affirming something is so you will be given supporting thoughts that guide you to the place of manifestation.

For example, while multitudes of people affirmed how bad the economy has been over the last few yaers (and had plenty of evidence to support this belief) there are countless others who continued to believe things were as good, if not better, than in the past. As a result of holding this belief in their consciousness they were given intuitive “hits’ they could choose to act on (or not).

Rather than discount ideas as they came up they are willing to explore these ideas. While others continue to affirm how bad things are these men and women take action; action that more times than not produce amazing results.

While these folks are reaping the benefit of clear thinking, others continue to affirm things will never change, life is just rough, times are hard, and I never get any lucky breaks. Thus, this continues to be their reality.

If you are one who deeply understands how powerful your thoughts are in creating your reality, bravo! If, on the other hand, you are one who wonders if things will ever change due to nonstop obstacles, rather than continue with this way of thinking why not commit to changing your thinking.

One way to do this is to carefully examine those who seem to be “uniquely lucky”. You will find the more you study and apply the thought processes of these “lucky” individuals the more you will begin attracting good to your life.

Even when outward situations seem to be working against us, when we understand the Law we know this is all a part of the master plan and nothing to concern ourselves with. Everything is a part of the masterplan of our life.

Our life is not made up of only a snapshot of today. Rather, it is made up of many, many snapshots that create a feature film. One in which we can write the script each and every day. What is the script you are writing?

You probably already know this, but I’ll restate it for the purpose of clarification: The Law of Attraction ensures that what you think about, you bring about.

It is this Law that aligns your thoughts with the infinite possibilities of the Universe, in order that the things you think about you will experience in your life.

Your thoughts become actualized as easily as your breath turns to steam on a mirror.

You can achieve success in whatever manner you deem desirable, conditional only to how your own thoughts and mental imagery conform to your idea of success.

If at the moment you see yourself as a failure, all you have to do is get a new mental image of yourself, one that would indicate you are a success – no matter how you would define that success as being.

Your life, right now, is the perfect actualization of all of your thoughts and mental imagery to date.

Therefore, in order to change your life, you must change your habitual thinking.

When you are trying to do this, if you run into apparent barriers, don’t look upon them as insurmountable…they are not. Every barrier represents a limiting belief that you have, for whatever reason, accepted.

And any belief can be unearthed and changed if you are ready to put in the effort necessary. Do not cower before limiting beliefs, telling yourself you can’t help thinking a certain way; it’s how you were taught to think by your parents (for example).

Your problem is not that you accepted those beliefs in the past, it’s that you are still living in accordance with those beliefs in the present.

If you want success now, in whatever field of endeavor you have chosen, then it’s up to you to examine whatever beliefs have been holding you back, and begin right now to change them.

You will do this by acknowledging that you, and you alone, are responsible for the way you have been thinking and inadvertently misusing the Law of Attraction to bring unwanted conditions or failures into your life.

Rather than feel victimized by this acknowledgment, you will find that it empowers you.

Take hold of that new feeling, and begin to form, in your mind, the mental images of the type of success you want.

Create affirmations, just short, present-tense phrases, that state clearly that you are now successful and happier than you ever imagined you could be.

After a short while, the old beliefs will be completely dissolved, and the Law of Attraction will begin aligning your new thoughts and beliefs with the infinite possibilities for success that the Universe can bring you.

They say the Universe is infinitely fair and always delivers, and that we are the ones who get in the way of manifesting everything we want.

Here’s a question for you:

How’s that working out for you?

Some people will say, “Great!” These people are born manifesters and seem to be able to conjure up manifestations on command. They’ve got the Midas touch, so to speak. Then there are others who struggle with the Law of Attraction but never seem to manifest quite what they want.

These are the people who write with questions like this: “I know I’m getting in my own way when it comes to manifesting what I want, but I don’t know how to get out of my own way. Help!”

So what can you do if you keep getting in your own way when it comes to manifesting what you want in your life? You can try this magical experiment.

A Magical Way to Get Out of Your Own Way

So how do we get in our own way when it comes to creating what we want with Law of Attraction? Usually by being too active and “busy.” Law of Attraction says that to manifest, we simply put our attention on what we want and feel good about it. As long as we keep feeling good about what we want, the Universe inevitably delivers.

That’s all good and well, but most of us get pretty impatient when it comes to what we want. So instead of waiting for the Universe to deliver the manifestation, we start taking action on our own, hoping to “make it happen.” That’s when we get in our own way and prevent Law of Attraction from really working.

So here’s a magical experiment for you to try if you are one of these people who gets in their own way:

Choose a single area of your life where you want to manifest something and commit to physically changing nothing for six months to a year.

The goal of this experiment is to take no action steps with regard to what you want to manifest. Literally sit on your hands if you have to. Magically, this gives the Universe some room to work, so that it can deliver that which you want. It’s the magical equivalent of “hands off!”

A Magical Example

One woman, Anne, wanted to attract her soul mate. She had tried online dating sites, speed dating, blind dates, and even singles events. Nada. She had made a list of qualities that her perfect mate would have, and she had tried every action step imaginable to bring him into her life. No results.

Finally, tired of struggling, she agreed to try this experiment. She committed to taking no physical action steps to bring her dream partner into her life. Instead, she decided she would focus her attention elsewhere in her life. She signed up for a membership at her local recreation center and started taking a Tae Kwan Do class. She also put more of her focus on her career and her art work, which she had abandoned a while ago.

Not three months later, Anne crunched her bumper in a mild fender-bender. Did she crunch bumpers with her dream mate? Nope. But she did meet her soul mate because of the car accident. He turned out to be the insurance adjuster who came out to inspect her car for damage. She never expected him to show up as an insurance adjuster, but then again she had stopped expecting anything.

By putting her attention elsewhere and not “pushing the issue” Anne literally bumped into her soul mate. She gave the Universe room to work the Law of Attraction, and was pleasantly surprised when it happened halfway through her period of committed inaction.

So, what do you think? If you are feeling frustrated that something isn’t manifesting in your life would you be willing to try this exercise for three, six, or even nine months? Think it might save some wear and tear on your soul?
