The law of attraction which claims itself to be a law, fails to justify itself on the grounds of falsifiability, that is, “the logical possibility that an assertion can be shown as false by an observation or a physical experiment”.

Falsifiability implies that if a certain condition applies to a situation, or a person, an inference may be drawn out of it and the same condition may not apply to all other similar situations or persons. For example, a man who is dark skinned is Asian. This does not mean that all dark skinned men are Asian or that all Asians are dark skinned. The law of attraction takes a few incidents where people have tasted success, and attempts to apply the same philosophy to all situations.

When judged by many scientific testing parameters the law fails to live up to its logical quotient. This means that the claims brought by the theory are unable to give an exact relation between the thought process and the results. The cause and effect relation, as posited, often overlooks the probable deterring factors or differences in circumstances. The theory makes a hypothetical study of human nature and draws out the inference, by frequent and repeated reference to a few instances, some of which may also be coincidences.

Modern believers in the law of attraction are of opinion that the theory originates from quantum physics, in its treatment of thoughts as atoms.

According to theories in quantum physics, the world is composed of countless atoms. Each of these atoms is charged with energy and is interchangeable, i.e. they can be used to influence each other and are open for infinite changes. This explains a sense of dynamism of thought. The law of attraction speaks on somewhat similar lines as quantum physics in terms of thought as energy atoms.

Following the example of quantum physics, the law supposes the human mind to be composed of thoughts. Each of these thoughts are like charged atoms which are capable of generating enormous power. The law of attraction, going further along the lines of quantum physics, points out, that since energy and matter are interchangeable and can be utilized for good results, the human mind, which is also open to changes, helps us in molding the situations in our life to shape our reality.

According to quantum physics atoms have energy and are drawn towards atoms with similar energy composition. So following that principle, the law of attraction states that thoughts like atoms are drawn towards same kind of thoughts. Thus, the law of attraction points out that “like attracts like”. This explains how thoughts relating to ones goal attract thoughts centering on the ways to achieve it, eventually attracting thoughts of reaching the goal.

Again, quantum physics points out that everything has potential and nothing is fixed, which means, if our goal is fixed, there are a number of ways to achieve it. In the same way, the law of attraction points out that if we are focused over what we want to achieve, nothing can prevent us from reaching it. Thus, quantum physics also speaks of what the law of attraction referred to as fending off negative thought through thinking.

Though the law of attraction bears similarity with quantum physics in many ways, it is not a scientific law, in the true sense of the term. The law of attraction is more a part of pseudoscience and a gathering of spiritual philosophies to gauge the power of human mind. Quantum physics may be considered a concrete means of explaining what the law of attraction aims at propagating.

The references to quantum physics made by the law of attraction are mostly incorrect. The proposition that thoughts, like atoms have energy fields is not a proven fact in science. The principles of thought, as supposed by the law of attraction, underline certain beliefs that are true in some cases and may be followed as example. Many of its credos have a hypothetical explanation, often attaching magical imagination. The law of attraction is mostly refined pseudoscience and has very less to do with concrete scientific truth.

Among the spiritual circles, the law of attraction is criticized strongly because of its attempts to hold individual ego and self will at unity with the higher self. The two are contradictory and cannot operate in synergy. On the other hand, the law of attraction which emphasizes repeatedly the inner consciousness and spiritual integrity makes a generalized statement; it overlooks the diversified collective mind and treats the single as the many.

The law of attraction refers to abundance. The theory explains profundity as feeling of happiness. The question is, why the law of attraction, (which is capable of resolving every situation), is unable to solve the problem of inequality of wealth? Moreover, the law of attraction aims at abundance, taking into account, there is enough for all and one only has to find his share of prosperity. The theory wants us to believe in a truth which hardly exists. The law of attraction does not delve deep enough to consider the societies or cultures where it cannot operate likewise.

The law of attraction, no doubt, is an inspiring theory dealing with the unrealized powers of mind. However, the theory appears too generalized and often misses out on external factors which may not be within the minds reach.

Ok…so you have seen The Secret. Now, it’s time to get rockin’ with the Law of Attraction.

So many times people get all jazzed up when they learn about the Law of Attraction – but implementing it gets tricky and that “jazz” fizzles out.

So let’s talk about the Law, and then I will give you the “how” on implementing it. Are you game?!

What do you think of when you hear the word “attract”? How would it feel to be able to ATTRACT what ever you would like INTO your life? It’s possible. You can come to depend on the Universal Law of Attraction, just has you have come to depend on the Physical Law of Gravity.

You may have heard the Law of Attraction referred to in different ways throughout your life, but it has no doubt shown up. Here’s a few ways we have talked about it…

1. What you sown you reap.

2. What you put out you get back.

3. Like attracts like

4. Law of supply and demand

5. What comes around goes around.

6. “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7

7. Emerson called it the Law of Compensation

Catherine Ponder, author of the Dynamic Law of Prosperity defines the Law of Attraction like this: “What you radiate outward in your thoughts, feelings, mental pictures, and words you attract into your life.”

Abraham-Hicks, defines the Law of Attraction like this: “That which is like unto itself is drawn.” Yes, like attracts like. What does this mean for you? It means that when you are focused upon what you WANT to create in your life you will attract that….and when you are focused upon what you DON’T WANT to create in your life, you will attract that too. It means that you are indeed a magnet, and it means that you are a magnifying glass. What you focus on gets bigger…and comes to you quickly.

You may have had the experience in your life where you have wanted something very badly, and out of that passion, out of that pure desire, you were able to create it. There was no stopping you. You believed that it was to be, and you did not doubt that it was to come into your life. You said YES! to having that “something” come into your life.

You may also have had the experience in your life where you have wanted something very much, and have not been able to create it. Think about money for a moment… You want very badly to create the flow of money into your life, but you don’t. You say, I want more money…but I **** paying bills, I **** that others have it and I don’t, money is evil, or you just focus on the fact that you indeed can’t create it. You take action, you ask, you pray and it still does not show up. You focus on the fact that it’s not here, you focus on the lack of money in your life. What do you think you will create?

So, if like attracts like….and you focus on the negative aspects of anything, or focus on what you do not have – you will create more of what you do not have. If you focus on what is, you will create more of what is. If you focus (and sometimes we do very strongly) on what you DON’T want in your life, for example, I don’t want cancer…I don’t want poverty…I don’t want this or that or this or that….you are saying NO to it, and that as well will bring it into our lives. What we give our attention to comes into our life…it is the Law of Attraction. Whether you are saying yes or no to something does not matter – it is the focus that carries the vibration and causes us to attract unto us. Be careful what you say no to.

The key would be to focus on FEELING GOOD and focus on what you DO want! The key is to consciously be aware of your abundance mentality, and know that you attract what you radiate and vibrate into the world. Nothing is more important that feelings good! How you are feeling and where your attention is, is your point of attraction. Period.

You must remember that the universe is abundant – completely. There is no lack, only our perception of it. You must remember that there is always enough, and what you ask for is given to you. You must remember that you were meant to prosper… be wealthy on all levels of life. There is nothing that you can conceive of that you can not be, do, or have.

Most of the time we walk around creating by default…now it’s time to create using the Law of Attraction. You can be or do or have anything that you desire in this life. You must acknowledge yourself as the powerful creator that you are and choose thoughts and feelings that make you feel good, and that are in alignment with what you really want in your life.

Like many people, when I first learned of Law of Attraction, I was transformed.  It was like a doorway was opened that allowed the truth that I always knew was there to flow in.  For at least two months I existed in a state of near constant euphoria.  If I caught a negative thought in my head, I laughed it off and changed it to something positive.  I was less easily angered and annoyed – almost nothing could permeate my fantastic mood, and if it did my anger or annoyance didn’t last for more than a few minutes.  It was fantastic!

Eventually I came down from this “natural high” and began to experience my normal range of emotions again, which of course included some negative ones.  As you might imagine, I found this to be very alarming!  Every time I felt “bad” feelings, I tried and tried to push those negative emotions away and to only allow myself to feel good, but it didn’t work!  Of course, then the negative thoughts began to multiply, “what am I doing wrong?” “This is horrible!”  “Why am I doing this to myself?!”  “I’m going to ruin my chances at happiness!” …all of which only lead me to feel worse!  I was in a tailspin of panic and self-flagellation.

Luckily, I already had a well-established habit of introspection and self-awareness that allowed me to come to the following realization pretty quickly:

Whether or not my negative emotions were interfering with my ability to use LOA to create the life I wanted, making myself more miserable because I was feeling miserable was pointless and even more counterproductive to my ability to consciously work with LOA.

 

I decided I wanted to find a better way to deal with my negative emotions so that they would not interfere with my ability to make the most of LOA in my life.  So, I did a lot of reading: Abraham-Hicks, Joe Vitale, Eckhart Tolle, Collette Barron-Reid, and others.  What I came up with is this: we have nothing to fear from our emotions.  They are the frequency upon which the information that we are broadcasting to the Universe is carried.  Being afraid of them is synonymous with being afraid of a television signal.  Just because the signal sometimes carries “bad” news, does not mean that the signal itself is a threat.  The gift of our emotions is that we have the ability to receive our own signal…by feeling what we feel, we are able to remain informed about the kind of frequency we are broadcasting, which helps us make informed decisions about what we choose to focus our attention on and the actions we choose to take.  Similar to the way that physical pain is part of the mechanism that keeps our bodies well, our emotions are part of the mechanism that keeps us well mentally and spiritually.  Which means that we have everything we need to make choices that help us live the most joyful and satisfying lives possible.

Realizing the value of so-called “negative” emotions makes it a lot easier to choose to allow them to come and go as they do naturally, which is generally a heck of a lot faster than when we get all caught up in worrying about them and how to “get rid” of them, or worse try to deny that they’re there to begin with.  The key is to acknowledge them in order to gain access to the information that they are providing, without feeding them with excessive worry and focus of attention by then trying to force them to change or to go away.  Keep in mind that in order for the information to be useful to you, you have to figure out how exactly it is about you and your habits and/or choices.  Sometimes you might come to the conclusion that there is nothing that needs to be changed other than how you think about a certain situation, other times you may have a limiting belief that needs to be addressed, and still other times you might find that a drastic change in your behavior “in the world” is necessary.

 

What is the message in your negative emotions?

In life, you become what you believe you are. We’ve all heard the term ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’. We talk about self-defeating attitudes, self-sabotage and courting failure. We believe that self development means erasing those negatives.

Somehow, in all the talk of negatives and defeatist attitudes, we neglect to look at the flip side of the personal self development equation – the Universal Law of Attraction. The law of abundance attraction is the base belief behind the power of positive thinking. The Law of Attraction simply states that we attract what we want in life. Stop and REALLY think about that for a moment.

We attract what we want in life.

According to this quantum law of attraction, what you have in your life right now is what you have invited into your life by focusing on it. But, you might be thinking, I WANT to be wealthy. If it’s true that we attract what we want in life, why is it that I’m struggling just to meet my bills? Let me tell you a story.

There is a salesman that I know. A few years ago, he was struggling towards a goal he had set for himself – to achieve 100 sales a week for four straight weeks. It never failed, though. For three weeks, he would write 100 sales – but no matter what he did, he could never hit his goal that fourth week. “I was doing everything right,” he told me. “Every morning, I started off with a positive affirmation – I will write 100 sales this week. It SHOULD have worked. But that fourth week eluded me time after time. Then one morning, I stopped to really listen to myself. ‘I will write 100 sales this week’, my mind said. ‘but I never can get that fourth week,’ I answered myself. I wasn’t focusing on the positive – I’m three-fourths of the way to my goal. I was seeing the negative. I decided right then and there that I WILL do it this week… and I did.”

Abundance attraction begins with believing that good things will happen to you and for you – because you attract them. Like attracts like, the old proverb goes. We’ve all seen it in action. There are people who appear to be blessed with every good thing that life has to offer. They have a beautiful home, a beautiful spouse, happiness galore – and everything just seems to drop into their laps.

What if I told you that you could BE one of those lucky, blessed people? You can. All it takes is understanding the secret of really believing that good things will come to you.

Every Sunday morning when I was growing up, I woke to a radio program that ended with the words:

“Something good is going to happen to you today.”

When you understand the Law of Attraction, you’ll understand just how very powerful that one simple sentence is. By believing that Something Good is going to happen, you are taking the first steps to making it happen. Open yourself to believing in the good things that will come to you, and by the force of that Universal Law, attraction will begin to work in your favor.

Something good is going to happen to you today. Something good HAS happened to you today. All you need to do is open the door to let the good things in.

Why is it that there are some people who are like Law of Attraction Magnets?

They seem to be able to attract at will wealth, health, marvellous jobs, great friends, loving families and warm relationships. Their lives are full of unlimited possibilities and it’s as if life has dealt them a silver spoon. And yet… there we are struggling and scraping by with our miserable lives.

Why are they such abundance magnets?

Through the long periods of observing such people, I discovered 3 major reasons why these people can lead such a prosperous life. It is a secret that you can learn too!

All you have to do is to change your mind. Start by changing the way you feel, think and act. And if you are able to do it, it will bring about a great change in your life.

Here are three major factors to a life of abundance:

1) Live and Follow your Passions.

Have you ever noticed that these people living abundant lives do not settle for mediocrity?

They are always the go getters. They have interesting jobs and are game for anything new. To them, each day is a new day of adventure and they live everyday by squeezing out every bit of joy and goodness that they can from the lives they lead.

Can you do it? Of course you can. Start by thinking about the things you feel passionate about. Don’t limit yourself. Go back to your childhood… what did you used to love to do then? How about now? Are there hobbies or activities that you love?

If you cannot think of any ideas right away, not to worry. Open your minds.

Explore! Try something new? Check out the new class at the community center.

Go where you have not done before. Let your heart lead you in whatever you do, and before you know it you’ll be living passionately too.

2) Believe in the Amazing Possibilities.

One of the factors you will discover in these Law of Attraction Magnets is that while they are leading an abundant life right now, they know that they can always get more abundant and prosperous!

They truly believe in the limitless possibilities that exist for their lives, and they quickly take advantage of opportunities that come their way.

Start increasing your awareness by allowing yourself to feel that everything is possible in your life. Your life is not static but is in a constant state of dynamic flux – nothing, ever, stays the same. Keep this affirmation.

Embrace change and look within. When you put into action all the opportunities for improving your life, you will automatically attract even greater opportunities.

3) Believe You Deserve It.

Basically, people fail in the Law of Attraction because they think that it is not possible for them to receive all the goodness in their lives because they do not deserve it.

Prosperous people have absolutely no doubts whatsoever that they deserve the goodness in their lives. They are open to attracting all the blessings and abundance they believe they deserve. This they receive and accept with grace and gratefulness.

Most people do not feel that they have ‘Worth’ issues. I didn’t… until a friend asked me, “How do you react when someone gives you a compliment or an unexpected gift? Do you express your thanks and gratitude, or do you try to refuse it or dismiss it?”

Well… I was the latter and did not fully appreciate that I was capable of much much more.

But this friend showed me that if I was in the habit of rejecting compliments or any goodness in any form, I might have an unspoken belief that I did not deserve any of those things.

And that was when I slowly changed my mind to start accepting gratefully the goodness and abundance others showed me.

Believe in yourself. And believe that you deservce much much more than what you have now. Make this affirmation tou yourself everyday!

More importantly, be humble and accept with gratitude for the blessings that come you way. When good things come – embrace them!

Trust me, if you keep up with these activities on a daily basis, you will transform yourself into one of those people that seem to be a Law of Attraction Magnet embedded in them, attracting abundance and prosperity all the day long.
