THE LAW OF ATTRACTION by Wallace D. Wattles

The universe is governed by law - one great law. Its manifestations are multiform, but viewed from the Ultimate there is but one law. We speak so learnedly of the Law of Gravitation, but ignore that wonderfully equal manifestation, The Law of Attraction. We recognize the power of the law that attracts bodies to the earth, that holds circling worlds in their places, but we close our eyes to the mighty law that draws to us the things we desire or fear, that makes or mars our lives.
When we come to see that Thought is a force – a manifestation of energy – having a magnetic-like power of attraction we will begin to understand the “why” and “wherefore” of many things that have heretofore seemed dark to us. There is no study that will so well repay the student for his time and trouble as the study of the workings of this mighty law of the thought world – The Law of Attraction. When we think, we send out vibrations of fine ethereal substance which is as real as the vibrations manifesting light, heat, electricity magnetism. That these vibrations are not evident to our five senses is no proof that they do not exist.
A powerful magnet will send out vibrations and exert a force sufficient to attract to itself a piece of steel weighing pounds but we can neither see, taste, smell, hear or feel the mighty force. The same with thoughts, we cannot see, taste, smell, hear nor feel. Light and heat are manifestations of vibrations of far lower intensity than those of thought, but the difference is solely in the rate of vibration. “Thoughts are things.” If you fully comprehend the truth of the statement and the natural consequences of the truth back of it, we should understand many things that were oblivious to us and would be able to use the wonderful power, Thought Force, just as we use any other manifestation of energy.
When we think, we set into motion vibrations of a very high degree but just as real as vibrations of light, heat, sound, electricity. And when we understand the law governing the production and transmission of these vibrations we will be able to use them in our daily lives. We are sending out thoughts of greater or lesser intensity all the time, and we are reaping the results of such thoughts.
Not only do our thought waves influence ourselves and thoughts of others, but they have a drawing power – they attract to us thoughts of others, things, circumstances, people, ‘luck’, in accord with the character of the thought uppermost in our minds. Thoughts of love will attract to us the love of others, circumstances and surroundings in accord with the thought, and people who are of like thought. A strong thought, or a thought long continued will make us the center of attraction for the corresponding thought waves of others. Like attracts like in the Thought world.  Birds of a feather flock together. Curses like chickens, come home to roost, and bringing their friends with them. The man who is filled with love sees love on all sides and attracts the love of others. Likewise, a man filled with hate and spite, attracts the hatred and spitefulness of others.

Business 101: Becoming an Investor.

What is one of the key disciplines that any successful corporation practises? INVESTING. Every business relies on investing for success, and for the incredibly successful businesses they invest like crazy; in R&D, and product lines. Heck, even our own economy relies on investors in order to grow. So why not be an investor. Probably the first and almost immediate objection to this suggestion is "I don't have money to invest." And I for one, am completely in agreements with that. However, why not invest the one resource that you always have at your disposal - TIME . That's right. Invest your time. Ah, suddenly it seems so obvious now doesn't it, but would you like to guess on how many people actually overlook this important fact? (By the way, this is can well be a lecture on time management). And since all investment have the dominant factor of Time in them, why not begin by turning your focus on this one incredible resource and use it to your personal investmen...

The truth behind the truth!

What is truth? Maybe the truth about truth is there is no Truth, just perception or consciousness. Just as we can't taste sound or hear yellow or smell hard, truth is just perceptual and subjective to the mode of perception. Yellow is true to the eyes because they can see it, yet not true for the ears because they can't hear it. And yet both are valid perceptual avenues. Reality is the illusion Thought/Perception/Consciousness is what's real.   In this world there are two kinds of truths: real truth and notions that you have convinced yourself are truth. However as I have always observed, truth is a very subjective phenomenon. Subject to your personal viewpoint or point of reference, which is determined by your perception or  paradigm   So debating about what is true and what is not, is like trying to discredit knowledge with knowledge (e.g. science and religion). The truth is that there is no absolute truth (well not in human perspective) because our perceptions a...

Generation eXcellence

I was reading some wonderful notes from Robin Sharma's Little Black Book of Stunning Success ( http://www.robinsharma.com/leadership-best ) and a thought crossed my mind: have we settled for mediocrity in our society?  Have we  allowed ourselves to tolerate mediocrity in our lives, because the truth is we interact with the aspects of the world which match our own standards. We see the world not as it is but as we are . How often do we offer less than our best to the quality of relationships with ourselves and things.? Are we allowing the quality of our lives be compromised due to what everybody else is doing? This is even evident  to how we  treat nature. The care with which we have for our natural environment is something of grave concern, and many defend this mediocre behaviour with "everybody else is doing it." and the worst one yet, "We are creating jobs for others"  Have we accepted me...
