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.

THE TRUTH ABOUT POSITIVE THINKING

Positive thinking doesn’t work for most people because of one simple truth and that is – Thinking is a skill. And most people haven’t mastered The Art of Thinking. Just because you can inhale air in an out of your lungs doesn’t necessarily mean you know how to breath effectively, remember how as a  kid when the doctor instructed “breathe in” and you would actually make a whizzing sound when in haling because you wanted to indicated that they are breathing, because you clearly knew there was more to it.  So you see, it actually is a skill. I was inspired to write this article tone because of a post someone had forwarded to me. It said… “…Positive thinking is offered up in the U.S. as a cure for cancer, a path to untold riches, and a sure-fire way to engineer your own success. Indeed believing that success depends upon one’s attitude is far preferable to Americans than recognizing that their success is the outcome of the tilted scales of race, class, and gender. As Eh...

SEASONS OF LIFE

I am at the airport waiting to board a flight going to Mozambique and i had a sudden burst of inspiration.  I believe that for us to work and livean inspiring Life we ought to be in constant awareness of inspiring insight or information. and so as I am about to board an airplane, I want to share with you insights about the seasons. The insight I wish to share comes from Jim Rohn which is about the Four Seasons Of Life (he wrote a book on this subject), and here is the wisdom I got from him. He says: “Life and Business are like the changing seasons” , fairly obvious but also easily forgotten because of its simple nature. But its true, Life is like the changing seasons (the business cycle in economics or entrepreneurship as it is often referred to). After fall comes winter. After winter comes spring. And after spring comes summer. All with regularity and pray tell how often. Is this a reliable way to look a life and business? After night comes day. When the sun goes down 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...
