For the beginning student, or for one curious about The Secret, or the Law of Attraction: hold on to your horses because this can be an incredible journey!
The movie, The Secret can be a good place to start and you can find that at many bookstores, and online at www.thesecret.TV. This presents in a clear and exciting format The Secret. It is not any longer a secret, but the Law of Attraction, and that has been written about since the early 1900's as a part of New Thought. Prior to that, it was known and used by the Mayans, the Essenes and students of the Kabalah. Some aspects of the Law of Attraction have been talked about by Buddhists and Yogis. As you can see, prior to the turn of the last century, it was only studied as part of a spiritual quest.
The Law of Attraction states that whatever you think about, comes about.
-- Thoughts become things.
-- Energy flows where attention goes.
You already have experience with this although you might not have realized that it is a law of the universe as relentless and powerful as the law of gravity. The old expression, "Be careful what you ask for because you might just get it" is a result of the Law of Attraction. The phenomenon of receiving a phone call or accidentally running into someone you have just been thinking about is another example of the Law of Attraction in action.
A more subtle example is that when we are concentrating on a project, or working toward a goal, we will find the resource, the book or the person who can help us move forward in our pursuit. If our hearts are set on going to a particular conference, or visiting an old friend in another town when we don't have the resources, and we believe so much in this that we can see ourselves there, things will shift. We will discover a way to get a cheap airfare, or the bus company will offer a great round trip package, or there will be a new hotel opening with affordable rates for just the week of the conference. I can't say what it will be, but something will happen that would seem illogical and magical if we thought about it ahead of time. However, when it happens, we think of it as "good luck."
You might have experienced making a list of what you want in an apartment, or a house, or a partner. Sometimes we put specific personal preferences like wall sconces or a view of a garden, or a partner who wears glasses and likes to read science fiction. And then, you find the exact house or apartment, or a partner who fits the most important requests and the most unusual little details such as the wall sconces or the glasses. Have you had that experience?
The Quick Version
1. Picture what you want. Use all your senses and all your imagination to put yourself into that dream now. Be in the house or be in the car or be in the job. Feel the feelings. Turn it into a full movie with color and sound.
2. Ask for it by picturing how much fun it you are having. Do not "need it" or start to argue with yourself about whether or not you deserve it. If you can picture it, you can have it. But, if you "need it" then you will just generate more need. Picture yourself in the car or house and make a mental movie of it. The more active, the more senses you inspire, the shorter the time will be to your successful manifestation.
3; Receive it. Believe that it is yours now. Part of this is acceptance. Be willing to accept whatever the Universe gives you. If you picture a new Panoz, don't attach to it. Practice acceptance of the present moment. Accept 100% responsibility for everything. Finally, practice defenselessness. When you can give up the need to defend yourself, you will be invincible. Ho'oponopono helps with all this.
4. Expect adversity. The bigger the dream, the more adversity will be needed to prepare you -- to make you a bigger person.
5. Act on inspiration. The Universe will send you here or there and will bring opportunities into your life that will send you in the direction of success. As Mike Dooley says, you just need to keep pitching the ball so that the Universe can hit a home run for you. (http://www.mindbridge-loa.com/mike-dooley.html)
Avoid Negatives When Visualizing or Setting Goals:
It works for good things, and it also works for the other. As James Ray says in the movie, "Your wish is my command." When you are thinking, "I'm going to be late for work... I'm going to be late for work," and feeling the dread or the fear, there is nothing that is going to keep you from being late for work. On that day, even if you leave early, there will be a traffic jam or construction or a water main break. If you're thinking, "He's never going to pay me back" or "This is too good to be true" he won't and it is. So, as the old adage goes, "Be careful what you think."
We're going to get a little technical here, but hang in there with us. We will make it clear by the end of the thought. A colleague who studied hypnosis told me that your unconscious can not process negatives. For example, when you're going out to buy a car. "I want a blue car" is a positive statement. "I don't want a red car" contains a negative in it. Your unconscious can only process pictures. If you're picturing {no} red car, the best deal you'll find will be a red car. If you're thinking {get out of} debt. Debt is what you'll get because debt is what you're picturing. So, whether this is believable to you or not, do yourself a favor and think/picture about what you want -- what brings you pleasure and what makes you smile rather than the things that make you unhappy, frustrated or fearful.
You have heard that we only use about 5% of our brain power? Other studies have shown that when we think a thought such as, "get up and go to the bookshelf" there has been brain activity prior to that conscious thought that has already set the muscle transmitters in motion. Where did the thought originate? It is possible that even when we think we are exercising free will and personal volition, we are not? It is possible that our unconscious is at least sometimes directing our conscious thoughts. In terms of the Law of Attraction, we think we know how thoughts are manifested. We consciously think of a wish or dream, and feel the feelings of already having it. That sends a message to our unconscious which prepares the energetic manifestation and transmits it to the creative source, the universe, God, or Jesus.
Or as Wallace Wattles says, There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made and which, in it original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. This creative energy is set in motion whenever we have an emotionally charged thought, good or bad, or dream whether good or bad.
It Works for Nature....
That may seem to be a lot to bite off as they say. Don't click off yet. It will get easier. You have seen grass grow and flowers grow and blossom. Whether or not you are a gardener, you have seen trees lose their leaves in the fall and then fill out again the following summer. How do they know how to do that?
The Houdenosaunee (known as the Iroquois to westerners) would say they follow their natural law. Depending on the size of the tree, we are talking about hundreds or thousands of cells that all follow their law without dissent or disorder. Are their cop-cells? Where do they get their energy and their nourishment? Again, any indigenous people would say from Mother Earth. Yet, farmers in the Mid-West spend millions on chemical fertilizers. The grasses of the Great Plains did fine for generations without crop rotation or chemical fertilizer, and the topsoil was at such a depth that has lasted hundreds of years since then in spite of soil erosion and plowing. How did that happen?
The earth continues to rotate without human intervention, and the tides come in and go out without human intervention or personal income. If all natural life finds the nourishment and the energy to do what it needs to do, why is it so difficult for humans?
Because we make it so. Oh, do you think that God put us here to "know, love and serve Him in this world" and that God wants us to struggle, but His mysteries are more than we can fathom --? Hogwash. Didn't Jesus say, "Whatever you ask the Father in my name, it will be given to you."
He didn't say, "If you go out and get a good job...." He didn't say, "First go out and get an education..." He didn't even say that if you eat fish on Fridays and honor the Sabbath....
Quantum Energy
All cells are composed of atoms and all atoms are composed of 98% space, and in that space, between the particles, is energy. At the molecular level, humans have been defined and categorized. However, at the atomic level, we are the same as the trees across the street and the daisy in the yard. Here is the province of the Quantum physicist. Apparently, at this level, energy and particle are interchangeable and the possibilities are limitless. At this level, it is dependent on the observer whether or not you will see energy waves or particles when you look into a test tube. If you believe you will see waves, you will see waves and if you believe you will see particles, you will see particles. And, it is possible for a particle to be in two places at once!
Isn't that enormous? Wasn't that one of the tenants of physics that we all learned? It is not possible to be in two places at once. It was clear and precise. Now, it is no longer so. Particles have been photographed in two different places at the same time.
So, back to Wallace Wattles about one thousand years ago, There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made and which, in it original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
We're not sure, but it looks as if anything is possible. It looks as if we all can learn to form particles or to move energy if we simply learn the rules of the Law of Attraction.
Let us give you some rules according to Mindbridge. As you study this website, http://www.mindbridge-loa.com/index.html, you will see that the various teachers each has his or her own rules governing the best way to manifest what you want. Some such as Joe Vitale will say that manifesting what you want is too limiting. He clears using an old Hawaiian method, Ho'oponopono, and says that there are Zero Limits when you are clear because then you are inspired by the Universe and the Universe has far better things in mind than we would even venture to ask for.
We will assert that whether or not you have your own visualizations or trust the Universe to provide wonders and miracles in your life, Ho'oponopono will clear any limiting beliefs, and will help you keep your emotional state steadily positive. This will ensure success.
The movie What the Bleep do We Know available through Netflicks, or on YouTube in sixteen sequential segments that last about 9 minutes each. This film does a wonderful job of illustrating the ideas of quantum physics, as well as some neurochemistry. Do not let this discourage you from viewing. This movie will change the way we think in this century. The new frontier is our mind. It is both entertaining and tremendously inspiring.
Enjoy. Stay positive. Don't entertain any doubts.
