A Preface for Skeptics 

A quoted excerpt from a reviewer on Amazon.com:

Truth is, not too long ago I would have laughed at the ideas in this book [about The Law of Attraction]. I'd have written them off as "New Age Nonsense" and felt smug and justified in doing so. In fact, I loved nothing more than to think of myself as one of the few "wise ones" who could see through the smoke that "fooled" almost everyone else. It turns out, I was the real fool. Rather than helping me in life, my skepticism slowly but surely cut me off from any sense of wonder and possibility. I became, frankly, an arrogant but miserable jerk.

But I was lucky. Despite my commitment to criticize all that failed to fit my own sense of reality, a thought eventually popped into my head that changed everything. The thought was this:

"If we can only accept what we currently believe, we have already reached our full potential."

This thought literally pulled my life out of the grips of skepticism and made it possible for me to entertain ideas I would have otherwise dismissed out of hand. Ideas that are full of promise, power and hope. Ideas that can make us greater than we are and more powerful than we might imagine ourselves to be.

Inspiring Quotes About the Law of Attraction 

Don't believe that the Law of Attraction is real, well, you're just about the only one. See the company the law keeps below. And, if you already "get" the law of attraction, know *you* are not alone.
  • "I am no longer cursed by poverty because I took possession of my own mind, and that mind has yielded me every material thing I want, and much more than I need. But this power of mind is a universal one, available to the humblest person as it is to the greatest." -Andrew Carnegie
  • "It is done unto you as you believe..." -Jesus
  • "The secret is the answer to all that has been all this is and all that will be" - Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-1882
  • "You create your own universe as you go along" - Winston Churchill 1874-1965
  • "Take the first step in faith you don't have to see the whole staircase just take the first step" - Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968
  • "All that we are is the result of what we have thought." - Buddha
  • "Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about." - John Demartini
  • "What power this is I cannot say. All that I know is that it exists." - Alexander Graham Bell 1847-1922
  • "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." - Albert Einstein 1879-1955

    (This is your lensmaster's personal favorite.)
  • "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls" - Joseph Campbell 1904-1987
  • "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter." - Max Planck (Nobel Prize in Physics 1918)
  • "Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Gandhi
  • "Until one is committed there is hesitating, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans. That the moment one definitely commits oneself, Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way." - John Wolfgang Goethe
  • "To gain happiness, you must learn to enjoy that which you have. It is not how much you have. It is what we THINK about that which we have that produces happiness. In building a happy, contented live, you must give happiness to others. No one living unto himself will ever be contented with his lot. Your happiness is reflected upon you through the service you give to others. And the thought you give to the creation of happiness will attract a happiness-service from others. Start creating the happiness-habit by producing happy, love-filled thoughts.Happiness is an attribute of love; therefore, you can never be happy until you give your love to others." - Dr. Forest C. Shaklee Sr.
  • "Life is a mirror of your consistent thoughts." - Napoleon Hill author of Think and Grow Rich

Are You Ready to Use the Law of Attraction in Your Life? 

A Word From Abraham-Hicks

Law of Attraction is Universal, and every person is affected by it. And it is always true that what I think and what I feel and what I get are always a match, and there is not a person on the planet that did not know that when they were born, and there is not a person on the planet that would not benefit by knowing it.

But many, many, many are not yet asking and therefore are not yet ready for the answer. And so, we would say that -- although everyone wants this information -- everyone is not necessarily ready for it. We would not spend any time trying to convince anybody of anything because if they're not asking, your answers are just irritating.

~Abraham-Hicks~

Books About the Law of Attraction 

You can view the books on the Law of Attraction below with their publication dates. I've arranged them this way so you have not only a useful list, but a history of some of the major publications on this well researched topic.

If you know of a book that is important, but it's not on this list, please go ahead and submit it to me so I can review it.

All these books add knowledge to the realm of the principles of the law of attraction even though many authors don't call it by this name.

Gregg Braden for example calls it "The Lost Mode of Prayer" or "The Isaiah Effect". Gregg has traced these principles back to the old testement, and early Christian writings. And, he didn't stop there. He's found that in fact the Law of Attraction has been practiced for thousands of years in many cultures.

Jesus taught the Law of Attraction in the parables when he asked us to believe, and said that we could perform miracles just as he did. If you look at this with the Law of Attraction in mind it seems that in the stories of Jesus he actually facilitated the miracles in the people around him by giving them the gift of strong belief, and when you understand this you realize they actually healed themselves.

Please vote on your favorites! (or add your own)

You might notice that this list below isn't concerned with source. Whether the contribution to this subject is a doctor, a phycisits, a bible prophet, or a channeler and his/her spiritual guide, everyone has something valuable to add to our knowledge of these ancient and essential principles.

Enjoy!

The Gratitude Exercise 

Help Ignite Your Relationship

I thought I'd share something we practice at my house. We call it the gratitude exercise. My wife does the gratitude exercise often. In the morning before getting out of bed she writes down as many things that she's grateful for in her relationship when it comes to yours truly.

She just takes a few minutes to do that, she tries to be creative about it and doesn't repeat items on her list from day to day, and then she goes about her day. It has a real noticeable positive effect on our relationship.

We have a more positive energy that makes things easier, she's happier, and she has more patience with me (which can be challenging normally). It works great for her, and we've used it for other things too. I think you could apply this exercise to *anything* in your life.

What are you grateful for?

If your willing to give the Gratitude Exercise a try for a few days and notice the result I'd love to hear about your experience with it!

The Gratitude Guest Book 

What Are You Greatful For?

Take a moment and ask yourself, what am I greatful for... is it something about your partner or friend, about the world, about the day, or the person sitting next to you? Is it something spiritual, something beautiful, or just something that you see everyday that you've never really thanked? Go ahead and share with us.

    I'm grateful for so many things! Yesterday at work I saw the hint of a sunset through the back door so I opened the door, stepped out, made my way around the trees until the sunset was in full view! Amazing! The colors and hues of the thin clouds filled my soul.

The Collage of Possibilities 

For Manifesting Whatever You Want

A lot of you liked the Gratitude Exercise I posted recently. Here's another exercise I've found works very well.

The Collage of Possibilities (otherwise known as a vision board. In our experience we've just chosen something we want to create in our life. It can be any possibility. Then you would cut out pictures from magazines that resonate with you regarding that vision you have.

You don't have to know why the picture resonates, just as long as it does. And then go ahead and paste them all to an 8.5x11 piece of poster board (or whatever you have). Be creative about the placement. Once you've got all your images pasted down look at the whole board and think about what each might mean to you. Give it meaning within the context of your vision for yourself. Then keep that board in a visible place where you can see it each day.

That exercise alone will make your vision so much more real and give you insights about it you hadn't though of. Keep it around until your vision becomes a reality. We've found we can do collages on anything in our life, so that might work for you too.

Another trick is if you want more insight into something that already exists in your life collage it the same way, and you'll find meanings and insights you didn't have before.

I hope that helps. As with Gratitude Exercise if you try this let me know what you're experience is like.

PS Guys, you might think collaging is lame. Trust me I know where you're coming from. I didn't want anything to do with it, but I choked my pride and tried it. Turns out it was a very creative process and I got a lot out of it. I've heard of stories of other guys basically doing the same thing, running away at first but then in many cases embracing it very fully and doing more intricate work than the women. ;) Give it a try.

PPS If you're interested in learning more about the Law of Attraction and getting some more tips pick up your copy of the free book on this lens.

What Is The Point of Believing? 

How to Free Your Heart and Live a Created Life

For me the whole point of "believing" is noticing that what you want is something you can have. The stronger you believe something then the stronger your thoughts and emotions will reflect that belief.

In the end it's really your emotions that are the language of creation and they can't be tricked. But you need your thoughts and your feelings to help generate those emotions.

The more you believe the better.

What Gets In the Way of the Law of Attraction In Your Life? 

There are things that get in the way though, fear, pessimism, guilt, anger. It's the heavy heart that weighs you down. The more enlightened you are, the less burden you carry in your heart, then the easier it is to generate your world, and have the freedom to create the emotions that you choose to have.

Freedom gives you choice, and a heavy heart weighs you down and limits those choices.

Even when you believe everything possible is within you, you still have to make that effort to clear your heart and for us humans that is an ongoing process.

Belief is something we earn over time by working on having a positive attitude, envisioning, and participating in creating our life.

As we start getting results our beliefs will grow and the power of the results will be ever stronger. It snowballs and amazing and unexpected breakthroughs are available to us.

Many spiritual teachings and prophets will tell you that the ultimate goal of being human is to become as conscious and joyful as possible to release as much of your creative energy as possible through good works and clean living.

Yes, good works, and clean living; things that keep your heart light.

Suggestions on How To Work Toward this Place of Peace for Yourself 

In my article above called "What is the Point of Believing" I said that I thought that to get in the space of peace you can achieve this from "good works and clean living". Some of you have asked me to clarify what I mean by that and give some examples.

In my experience practice and dedication is important... practice all these things regularly.

Seeking knowledge, always, even when you think you know something, you can go further.

Remembering to be kind, grateful, and come from a place of being help as much as you can muster.

Practice the law of attraction, and practice giving up hurt and fear. I know I say this like it's easy, and in one sense it is conceptually easy, but in practice it can be very hard when those emotions are strong.

Surround yourself with people who are loving and love you.

Shy away from things that only serve corporations/media/politicians--ask yourself, "who does this serve?"

Meditate and exercise so that you can strengthen the peace in your consciousness.

Eating nutritious food is almost impossible in this day and age, but still so important. There is only one vitamin brand in my experience that has supplements that really work and is a good alternative to always eating raw, whole and organic. I invite you to try 'em out here.

Read spiritual books and self help books, read channelings from modern day prophets to learn as much about how the how the universe works. I recommend Seth Speaks, LDS's Doctrine and Covenants, and The Key by Whitely Streiber...

If You Want Very Quick Results 

If you are very serious about bringing incredible possibilities into your life and then living them, then there is one very powerful thing that I know you could do that's practical and hands on.

You would definitely transform any aspect of your life you wish (in one weekend!) and take it to the next level would be to attend Landmark Education's "Landmark Forum".

It's the single most powerful transformational experience I've ever had. More info here... Landmark Forum. Landmark holds their forum all over the world and in every state.

This is not a seminar or a motivational presentation, it's an education, and a real experience so when you walk away you are transformed and continue to use your new power in your life.

If One Believes In the Law of Attraction, Can They Also Believe There is a God 

I've personally been asked on a number of occasions whether God and the LOA can co-exist, and whether I believe there is a God or not. Rather than answer this from the LOA side of things, I'll just answer from my experience, and let you take from it what you feel you can.

The short answer is yes, I do believe there is a God. I believe this because I've found that through out the ages of this world the same exact revelations have been shared with man. They are the same revelations that the Egyptians received, that the south American's received, that the Indians of North America received, that the Chinese received with their first emperor, and so on, and still the same revelations that we receive today from modern profits and channelers (check-out Whitely Strieber's The Key, or Jane Robert's Seth Speaks books for a taste of the modern stuff).

Why Are There So Many Religions 

The impression that the world is full of different religions I feel is mostly an illusion.

In my experience those religions really all stem from the same revelations which each culture receives it presented in a way they will best understand it for their culture, and their time and place, and then their natural biases and aptitudes color and flavor the revelation, over time so what we end with is most religions emphasis one or more aspects of the revelation.

For example the Buddhists emphasize inner knowing and peace (the kingdom of god is within you), the Christians emphasize fatherhood and reaching out to your neighbor and service, the Islam emphasize giving yourself over to God, and so on.

Please contact me directly if you have curiosities or questions about the above and I'll do my best to answer each email.
