“I can see the logic in Network Marketing, but The Law of Attraction and Attraction Principles? I ask you. What a load of mumbo-jumbo!”
So says the hard-edged business professional who has always found success through the fruits of talent and hard graft.
Is there anything to it really or is it just the latest fad?
I must have spent hundreds of pounds over the last two years on stuff related to LoA: on books, online courses, watching “The Secret” on the internet, and various CDs that “retune” your vibration!
The cynic may argue that all this had absolutely no effect and that doubling my income, clearing my debts and getting a brand new car were all just coincidences. It was all really just the result of a more positive psyche….but why should I care what a cynic might say…?
Wallace Wattles (“The Science of Getting Rich”) “There is an exact science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty. ….Do not listen to arguments against this idea.”
Good advice from Wally Wattles. Obviously I highly recommend the book!
The movie “The Secret” has brought the Law of Attraction to a wider audience. It has generated a lot of interest and with it a market for all things associated with it. The cynics would wonder if the only people actually manifesting money are the ones selling law of attraction tips or life-coaches providing their clients with law of attraction coaching!
“The Secret” movie does introduce basic attraction principles but it is very simplistic.
It makes it sound easy and effortless. All you have to do is think the right thoughts and – Hey Presto – your deepest desires are manifest. You manifest money and abundant wealth.
Hmm. Sounds too easy.
The concept is simple. But that does not mean it is easy.
Wallace Wattles (“The Science of Getting Rich”) “There is no labour from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought. It is the hardest work in the world.”
It takes effort, but not physical effort. It takes sustained mental effort, self-training and continual correction until you are in a state of being that you can only describe as being “In the zone”, like a sportsman on the top of his/her form. You visualise whatever it is you want and you and the resources around you come together to create it.
Your mind is the blueprint, the architect, and the universe responds and brings about whatever it is you are visualising. It is almost like you get lucky!
As Gary Player was attributed as saying “The more I practice the luckier I get”.
The reason that some people find it so hard to put attraction principles into practice is because attitudes and beliefs can be very ingrained. Thoughts can become automatic responses and it takes a mental discipline to change your thinking.
Nonetheless using the law of attraction is an integral part of being successful in Network Marketing without hassle or hustle.
As we explore it and learn to apply attraction principles here we can remain pragmatic.
If you are skeptical then treat it as an experiment. Use the techniques and tools and see what difference they make…
Does Deliberate Attraction Ever Not Work?
The Law of Attraction ALWAYS works.
So when you attempt deliberate attraction why don’t you always get the reality creation you ask for?
The LOA does not work according to your conscious thoughts but according to your sub-conscious vibrational thoughts. It is Law and will always apply. Just like gravity.
“Deliberate Attraction” is when you harness the LOA to consciously create your own reality.
But…..
Do you have a nagging doubt?
Do you have a feeling that what you are asking for is more than you can receive, or more than you deserve?
Do you want something someone else has because you are envious?
Any sort of negative thought or emotion:
* Guilt & shame
* Negative emotions anger or resentment, jealousy, and pride
* Fear and anxiety & self pity
* Idleness
* Ingratitude
…will prevent you being on the right wavelength or frequency to be able to receive the answer you think you are asking for and will thwart the process of deliberate attraction.
It is rather like tuning your radio to the frequency of the radio station you want to listen to. If the music you want to hear is on 101.4 FM and you are dialled in to 97.2 FM you won’t hear the music!
So how can we get rid of the interference to our reception and be properly tuned in so that we can receive the answers?
1) – Guilt and Shame
Guilt, shame and the associated feelings of unworthiness will certainly knock the tuning dial away from the frequency you need. Like attracts like. How can your deliberate attraction include receiving abundance and manifesting money if you feel inside that in someway you don’t really deserve it?
Such feelings stem from doing something that we know or feel to be wrong, or a mistake that we have made in the past.
What can we do about it?
We can stop doing whatever it is that causes those feelings, which may not be easy as humans can have very addictive natures.
We can make restitution as best we can. If we have hurt or offended someone we can apologise and do whatever we can to repair any damage.
We can forgive ourselves. Often we are our own harshest judges and beat ourselves up when we needn’t. We can recognise that we are human and make mistakes, and move on.
Christians believe that Jesus atoned for our wrong-doings, that He paid the price and so takes away our shame and guilt. Other religions or beliefs suggest that there is no absolute right or wrong and so therefore we cannot dwell on the negative emotions but seek peace through learning from these experiences.
However I am not talking here about religion and salvation – that is a different conversation – just how to be effective in deliberate attraction and reality creation.
So if you have feelings like this that hinder the process then do what is necessary for you to feel comfortable accepting good things and lose any feelings of guilt.
2) – Anger, Resentment and Jealousy
If you have anger, resentment or jealousy you have to let go of it. As you forgive yourself and move on then forgive other people their errors. Take a view that they did what they did because they had not yet learned any better. Because that is the truth!
We have to overcome pride and recognise that there are greater powers in the universe than us, that we rely on. The air that we breathe the food that we eat is all provided for us regardless of what we do.
Pride means we are trying to take the credit for everything whereas there are normally a great number of different resources and people that come together to provide what we want.
We need to recognise that and stop being so full of our own importance.
3) – Fear and Anxiety
Fear and anxiety stop us from aligning ourselves with the answer and receiving. What is the point of asking and then fearing, doubting or being anxious? It is the same as going to an ATM and then expecting it not to dispense the money you asked for.
Dale Carnegie “Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.”
If we ask for our situation to improve, but then go back and wallow in self-pity or focus on what is wrong without attempting to reach for the better place ourselves, then how will we be able to hear the music that is being broadcast on a different channel!
4) – Idleness and Procrastination
You don’t get what you want and then put forth effort. You put forth effort first. If you don’t direct and improve your life no-one else will. Successful people do what others don’t like to do.
Magnify your calling in every area of your life. Live it to the full and give of your best in whatever you engage in.
We cannot excuse lack of work and effort on the basis that through deliberate attraction everything just lands in our lap. It won’t work quite like that.
We can absolutely learn and be inspired to work smart and be wise in what action we take, when and how. The headless chicken approach, where we do everything and run ourselves into the ground also betrays a lack of trust in abundance. It shows that we are relying on ourselves and trying to manipulate the process rather than let go and allow.
But doing nothing will achieve the same result – Nothing!
5) – Ingratitude
We can show gratitude by acknowledging all things that have worked for our good, including those more challenging experiences that have taught us wisdom.
Moreover if we don’t have gratitude we can very quickly fall into dissatisfied and negative thought regarding things as they are. Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.
There are Three Levels of Gratitude:
1 – “Circumstantial”, where we say thank you when things “go our way” or we get something we want. Try keeping a gratitude journal. Every day list half a dozen ways the day was good, or note something that went well. Do it every day. Write “Thank you”. See the difference it makes.
2- “In spite of” - where we don’t like something, but we know that the challenge or whatever is for our higher good and that we know there will ultimately be benefits, blessings and opportunities so we choose to be grateful anyway
3- “Continuous” – We live in a continual state of thankfulness, seeing the good in everything and everyone. We need to strive for this so that whatever our circumstances and experiences we can find something to be grateful for.
Baha u’llah: “A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise”
Rabbi Harold Kushner: “If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.”
We should strive to be in a state of continuous gratitude.
Work on these things and you will find that deliberate attraction of the things you really want becomes easier and faster.
