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.

FAITH

Is there ever a time where its reasonable to have faith? Like really. When is it reasonable to have faith? Because if you think about it, whenever its reasonable to have faith it is no longer faith but just rationalisation.. When you have reasons to have faith its just that, reasons. Faith has no reason either than you really wanting something. Faith is not based on any concrete evidence, ever. Faith is the decision of a mind to maintain a disciplined positive expectation of a desired outcome.. And most of us fail in this because our faith fluctuates.. Usually we want reasons to have faith.. The most interesting part in life is that most of who we desire to be is dependant on faith. Just choosing to expect the best and that is independent of any religious beliefs or philosophy. Its a consistent act of a person to choose faith over fear, fear over not having concrete evidence to back it up. Faith is the complete surrender of the need to control things and to have it all f...

A MAN CAN CHOOSE TO BE ANYTHING

"A man can choose to be anything. He can partake in, be a part of anything that he wants to. He can become a beast, he can become a god. He can do anything." This thought keeps reappearing in all the writings of man. It states that we become what we choose to become whether we realise it or not. This is so true because as I grow older, I notice just how broad my being is. BEING : the continuous movement of becoming!! As a high school pupil I only saw myself as a math and science student whose aim was to be a master of science and nothing more. And then in  first year varsity I noticed my perception   grew   from a science student to one whose aim was to be a respectable chemical engineering professional, then suddenly I noticed that not only do I love science, but I have a proclivity for some business,  philosophy and even writing who knew!! And then that grew to psychology, which grew to  philosophy and spirituality and all of this my high-school-year old...

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

On the bus to work I was busy go through my budget this month in my head. And as I was doing that, I was thinking of how we always have to make arrangements for unforeseen expenses, so I was thinking along the line of "roughly it will cost me this much." However as I had that thought another then just came up, and that was there are no insignificant numbers. Numbers that have no bearing to the total sum whatsoever. As an engineering student in my first year I got introduced to an unfamiliar term, "significant figures", quite frankly I am surprised I still remember this.In engineering and science we have to account for the significant decimals places that are there in a number. (Google this). For example if a number has the highest numbers of significant figures meaning more numbers after the decimal we take that as the numbers of significant figures we must round of to. So if you have a number that is 2.0003, those zeroes are significant because they can/will...
