The Law Of Attraction Explained

Following the tremendous success of The Secret, more and more people are getting to know law of attraction. Some totally swear by it, other detest it claiming that, no way life is that simple! Personally, I have not read The Secret so my opinion may be a little off. I have however, read quite a few books from the Law of Attraction series, written by Jerry and Esther Hicks, which were more or less summarized into The Secret. My opinion of The Secret is that... I don't think it's a very good book because it over-simplifies stuff. And maybe that's why a lot of people hold a very negative opinion of the materials presented in the book.

Law of Attraction (hereby short-formed into LoA) in essence is all about, you get what you think. What you think will emit some sort of frequency vibration into the universe, and attract like energies into your life. In a very mathematical form, it means:

Thoughts = End Results

But that's not all. Only things that you believe is possible, will happen in your life. And so the equation becomes:

Thoughts + Beliefs = End Results

However, unless your thoughts are focused, most of them contains very little energy. Usually this isn't a problem except, people are very easily distracted to focus on the negative sides of things and start doubting whether one can get what he really wants. There are two ways around this. One, you cast your desire with laser beam focus. You would visualize as much details as you can without hurting your beliefs, and throw it out to the universe along with your desire. The other way is that, you need to not think about the negative sides of the things and counter your own positive attractions. Soo... just fire your desire, and believe that universe will take care of the rest. In fact personally, fire and forget have worked better for me all this while.

Hence, combining both solutions, the equation becomes:

Thoughts + Focus + Beliefs - Doubts = End Results

To elaborate on this equation, basically as long as the left side doesn't equate to negative, then you wouldn't be getting negative end results. For example, you might be thinking about a vacation a lot, but lack the focus and the beliefs to make it happen, however at the same time you are so busy at work so probably you never think about it enough to create doubts. It's probably just some of the little moments when you daydream (with thoughts created) and forget, resulting a very weak positive on the left side. Thus, while the end results will come, such weak energy may mean that they will take a very long time to arrive.

On the other hand, someone who wants an accomplishment very badly. He thinks about it all day long, very strong and focused thoughts. He has been preparing so hard so he strongly believes that he would be able to achieve it without a problem, hence strong beliefs. And although occasionally he has some uncertainties about how things may end up, the general equation would still turn out to be a strong positive. And voila, positive end results are expected!

Many would argue that the lack of action in the equation makes it false. They believe that in this world, you can't get anything without doing some sort of action. It is not incorrect, but it does not warrant an additional element in that same equation. You see, action is mainly part of the belief element. Living in such a physical world, most believe that physical action will produce physical results. It's not that action is the sole creator of all results. But the very limiting belief that actions produce results make it the sole creator. In simple mathematical sense, it means that:

Beliefs = Actions

And so, the previous equation becomes:

Thoughts + Focus + Actions - Doubts = End Results

Yet this equation is not completely correct. If you believe that doing nothing will still get you what you desire, then the equation would be:

Beliefs = Doing Nothing

Thoughts + Focus + Doing Nothing - Doubts = End Results

Of course you would argue that, who would be able to believe that doing nothing brings you everything that you want? It's just that, instead of an impossible feat, it's a limiting social conditioning that we must fight to break through. It is said that Jesus was the master of LoA, hence he was able to manipulate the reality and performed all sort of miracles. Would one day come that some of us would reach that same enlightenment too?

Since one day is most likely not tomorrow, let's focus on what we can do now. Yes I say do because action is still a very limiting modern day belief. But what we can do now is, to try to achieve more and more with lesser and lesser actions. And the final objective is to be able to attract everything that you want into your life, without doing anything. :)

Need more money? Stop working harder. Work smarter! Start a business or something. Hah! Now you have a few employees working for you to make you money while you are chilling at some tropical island. Keep trying to minimize actions needed to get what you want. Then one day you will understand that thoughts have so much more power over actions, as long as your beliefs are not in the way.

You may not be able to achieve the state of fulfilling desires out of thin air in this life-time, still fulfilling desires with minimal efforts is the way to go. This is not a world that is specifically designed to grill and torture us. This is a playground. So let's treat it as such.

As a final note, if there is any actions required to achieve anything, it is always about strengthening your beliefs. Mindless actions that do not strengthen your beliefs will never bring you any nearer to your desired end results.
