Foundations Of The Law Of Attraction

What is the history of the Law of Attraction? 

How long has mankind known about it? 

How much did they know and why are so many people still not using it today?

The Lord Buddha said “All that we are is the result of what we have thought",  the Darby Bible Translation tells us that Job, 3: 25 of the old testament, declared, “For I feared a fear, and it hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.” It seems that both Buddha and Job understood the eternal workings of the Law Of Attraction. However, unlike the enlightened Buddha, Job, like the majority of people today, suffered the dire consequences of not using this law to his advantage!

The Law Of Attraction at its very basic level states that everything is created by thought and that thought attracts to itself, physical things, people, situations, and circumstances. Your thoughts are attracting these things at this very moment!

However, we do not just create and attract the material things that enter our lives, we also create the body we occupy, the personality we display, and, ultimately, the person we are and we do it all through our thoughts. 

Are you creating the life you desire and becoming the person you wish to be or are you like Job and bringing upon you all manner of woes because you are giving your attention to them? Perhaps you are even identifying yourself as a victim and refusing to acknowledge the Law and make use of it consciously!

The Law Of Attraction is not as big a Secret, as the hit movie would have you believe. It has been around since the dawn of time and is an unbending, ever-present rule of the Universe. You cannot escape it! There is a great body of evidence that suggests mankind has known about, and utilized, the great Law for about 7000 years. However, the teaching of universal truths did become clouded for many hundreds, if not thousands, of years by greedy self-serving dogmatists that wished to keep control of the masses and were actually banned at one point.

It was largely at the beginning of the 20th century that the general public started to become aware of this great law due to the diligence, fortitude, integrity, and grace of writers such as James Allen (1864-1912),  Napoleon Hill (1883-1970) and Charles Haanel (1866-1949). 

Wallace D. Wattles (1860 – 1911) was another pioneer of free thinking. In his great work “The Science of Getting Rich” Wattles states a great truth, “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.” How revolutionary that statement was in 1910.

Haanel set out in a 24-part correspondence course, which is now condensed into one volume called “The Master Key System“, a complete guide to successfully using the Law Of Attraction! It was banned by the Church in 1933 due to its revelations. This is allegedly the book Bill Gates read before he created Microsoft!

Napoleon Hill revealed Andrew Carnegie’s great Secret to the world - that thoughts create things - when he wrote “Think & Grow Rich” in 1937 (although it had taken him 25 years to complete).

Man Thinking 

James Allen wrote his famous work in 1912 and in “As a Man Thinketh” he tells people that the “mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.”

However, although the teachings have been around for thousands of years and they have been readily and easily available to the general public for almost a century the great majority of people do not take the time to learn the workings of probably the most powerful physical law in the Universe.

I think you owe it to yourself to delve deeper and learn as much as you can about the laws that govern your life. When you truly understand the Law Of Attraction and begin to work with it for your own personal advantage, I promise you, your life will change in unexpected, and unlimited ways.

Begin now to utilize this gift and construct in your imagination the life you really want to live. Seek out ways to remove your own inner resistance and limiting beliefs. 

Dream BIG, and create Big life rewards. Dreaming small creates little life rewards. You don't dream at all well you get the idea.

Your Thoughts In The Past Manifest Your Future

We are where we are, because of our thoughts in the past. Thoughts become things. We consciously or subconsciously always think about something. The problem is that we usually think more about things we don’t want, than about the things we want. 

Becoming aware of your thoughts is the first step 

Try to observe your thoughts for a day or two. Do you mostly think about the things that you worry about, things you don’t want to happen, and you are afraid of? or Do you mostly think about pleasant and wonderful things?

Your present situation is the result of your predominant state of mind in the past. And you are creating your future now. Your future will be like your predominant state of mind now.

The past is gone. You can’t change it, but if you are dwelling on an unhappy past now, you aren’t feeling happy now, and you are creating an unhappy future.

You’re creating your future now, only the present is important. By having a predominantly happy and positive state of mind now, you’re creating your happy and positive future. This is nothing new it's called the Law of Attraction. You can attract whatever you want in your life: happiness, wealth, perfect health, love, and wonderful relationships.

But you can also attract things and situations that you don’t want. Actually, we do it subconsciously all the time.

It doesn’t matter if we want or don’t want something, we’ll get what we mostly think about.

Because you are energy, you are like a magnet;   Everything around you is energy. You, your mind, and your body. From a young age we learn to control our bodies, and we can also learn to control our minds.

 

Your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. If you don’t control your mind and allow it to dwell on negative thoughts and feelings, it becomes your worst enemy, because it creates an unhappy future. If you control your mind, it’s your best friend, because it becomes your best friend which will create a great future. Here is a video of a guided meditation that can help you with this.

The Law of Attraction is an exhaustive subject and I'm not going to explain everything in this post. Fortunately, there is now more and more information available on the subject of manifestation and attraction. This blog provides a list of the best law of attraction books for 2022.

People like Plato, Newton, Carnegie, Beethoven, Shakespeare, Einstein, and many others knew the law of attraction and lived according to the law of attraction, but it was a secret for most people. Now a lot of people are learning about this secret, the law of attraction, and the science of manifestation. 

The key to success with this knowledge is putting it into action.
