How To Use The Law of Attraction

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Bea

William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910) said, “Man can alter his life by altering his thinking.”

In a nutshell, that’s it. To quote Mike Dooley, “Thoughts Become Things.”

I believe that our thoughts are the greatest power in this entire Universe. Each and every one of them is like an incipient event or circumstance, and each and every thought longs to be materialized. The more often you repeat that thought, adding other similar thoughts to it, and allowing your imagination free reign in collaboration with these thoughts, you “grow” them.

As they grow stronger, they begin to attract, from an infinite number of possibilities, the people, places, and events required to become fully realized, or materialized.

This is what happens, whether your thoughts are centered on what you really want to experience in your life, or whether you’re concentrating on what you don’t want…The Law of Attraction is, in a manner of speaking, impersonal.

Since this is the way it works, to me it only makes sense to know what I want in my life, – to get a clear picture of my goals.

In order to do this, I wrote down a list of ten things that I wanted to experience in my life.

Using that list, I began to create affirmations for each of those ten goals.

Now, people use affirmations differently, so I’ll go over some of the basics and then share what works for me on a personal basis. Remember, though, we’re all different and the system that works well for one person might need some tweaking to work for you.

The Law of Attraction And Affirmations

One of the fastest ways to kick The Law of Attraction into high gear is through the use of affirmations, which I like to think of as strong declarations of intent.

I use a very simple system to do this, too.

I write, on a 3×5 index card, my goal as if it has already taken place. I keep it short and sweet. This is pretty important, because I’ve met some people who’ve tried to use affirmations and complained that they didn’t work, and when they shared what they had written with me, it was far too long and complex to be considered an affirmation.

Now, when you write down your goals at first, writing down a full explanation or description of it can be very helpful, – but the next step is to turn it into an affirmation, something that can usually be said in one sentence, without running out of breath.

Some powerful tips for affirmations are:

Write it in the present as if it is in the process of happening now, or in the past tense, as if it has already happened. For example: “I am happily married to my soul mate,” or, “I have been showered with blessings and riches galore.”
Generally speaking, you should use the personal pronoun, “I”, as in, “I am,” or “I have.”
Depending upon what you want, one extremely powerful world you can use is, “My” or “Mine.” For some reason, depending upon your own psychological makeup, this pronoun can be incredibly helpful to people who’ve had trouble getting affirmations to work for them using the personal pronoun, “I”. “Mine” is a sneaky way to circumvent certain psychological blocks that some of us have built around our belief systems. Some examples would be affirmations like: “My new job pays me a lavish monthly income.” (You can fill in the amount if you prefer).

Then, at least once a day, sit down with your 3×5 card and read the affirmation you’ve written either out loud or to yourself. Concentrate on the words you’ve written, but if your mind wanders a little, at least try to direct it to follow what you’re affirming. Do this for five or ten minutes only. In fact, a lot of people find it hard to do for longer than five minutes, but most of us can manage that short period of time.

This is a very powerful way to start a new train of thought. Remember, the affirmation you’ve written down is a thought that originated in your mind. By re-reading it, out loud or to yourself, you are thinking those same thoughts over and over again.

Eventually, what will happen is that as you say, and therefore think, these thoughts repeatedly, your imagination will start to kick in, and in a short time you will begin to visualize your desire as being already present in your life.

This is the best part, because our imaginations are our lifeline between the invisible world where every possibility for fulfillment exists, and our material, or real, world.

So, we use affirmations to start a new train of thought, and that new train of thought will bring us to the point of visualizing what we want.

As we use our imaginations to visualize the fulfillment of our desires, we automatically begin to feel the way we will feel once our desire has actually materialized.

I find that this is the chain reaction that works for me. Please let me know if your experiences are different.

Power – Of Versus Over

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Bea

We are presently living in a world that bombards us with ideas that contribute to our sense of powerlessness. It’s a world that seems hell-bent on convincing us that we have little to no control over our own lives and circumstances.

But wait a minute…just stop for a minute, and think about this.

Is there an advantage to having the majority of people believe that there’s nothing they can do about situations, about their lives, about ‘the’ economy. I think that there is. The worst of it is that those people who so desperately want the majority of humankind to acquiesce to a fear-filled world view are often those people who feel the most powerless of all.

To these people, any individual who refuses to go along with their way of thinking represents a danger, – because what they seek is not your good, by which I mean your empowerment, but their good. They seek to possess power over others, having convinced themselves that this is the only pathway to the achievement of power.

Does this make them evil? I would be more inclined to describe them as gods behaving badly…something like the ancient gods of Greek myth.

I have often heard it said that the very people who seek power are those who should not be trusted with it, and I’m sorry to say that more often than not, this has turned out to be true.

These kinds of people, because they’re so convinced of their own impotence, seem to think that if they can just gain enough power over other people, they’ll somehow become truly powerful on their own. It’s worked that way for dictators throughout history…and unfortunately, the end lesson for most dictators is continually lost upon the up-and-coming dictator wannabes.

There is a power of love, there cannot be a power over love.

There is a power of creation, there cannot be a power over creation.

In fact, there can’t even be a power over fear, – only a transforming realization that the things one fears are in themselves powerless.

If everyone, even the most hateful, hate-filled humans in this world, would just realize that they don’t need more power, just a full and complete realization and acceptance of their own unlimited power, most of the current problems in this world would disappear.

I, for one, have decided to trust in the infinite power of my own being. You’ll have to make your own choices.

The Law of Attraction – The Basics

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Bea

Despite the fact that I’ve been fascinated by anything to do with metaphysics and/or New Age Thought for years, I admit the first time I ever heard the expression, the Law of Attraction, was when I joined a couple of friends to go and see “The Secret” movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but unfortunately, while I believe the movie was made with the good intentions of educating the masses of people unfamiliar with the Law of Attraction, it did not go deeply enough into the actual mechanics of how it works and the best way to use it to create your life the way you want it to be. In fact, I think one of the best things to come out of “The Secret” movie was the fact that ‘The Law of Attraction’ became a well-known phrase that nicely embodied the idea that the thoughts that we think, day in and day out, create our experiences.

The only problem, as I’ve mentioned, is that the movie itself wasn’t long enough to go into what’s involved in the Law of Attraction with any depth, and it left a lot of people with more questions than answers regarding how to transform their lives into a life of joyous fulfillment and prosperity, – how to live the lives they’ve always wanted.

Here, at Creation Secrets, I’m going to try to help others understand what I’ve come to understand, and at the same time, learn more about creating my own reality the way I want it to be along the way.

Learn About the Law of Attraction Through These Premises

In its most condensed form, the Law of Attraction decrees that what you think about, you bring about.

This is not new thinking, although many refer to it as New Age Thought. Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 April 27, 1882) said, “A man is what he thinks about all day long.”

The hardest thing for any of us who are trying to learn about the Law of Attraction is to realize this, – that it is our thoughts that create our reality, and if we want to change our experiences in life, we have to change our thoughts.

Unfortunately, a big part of the problem is the fact that we think an average of 60,000 thoughts every day, and most of these thoughts that we think are based on beliefs that were instilled into us from childhood, – and many of these beliefs are limiting.

I’ll try and break this down in the way I’ve come to think about the
Law of Attraction, and share what I’ve learned with you.

Stated as simply as possible, we live in a sea of conscious, responsive energy and according to our own conscious thoughts, we attract into our lives certain people, events, and experiences as opposed to others.

All of creation begins with the mental act of thought (mental imagery) and becomes, in a manner of speaking, a holographic universe. Within this holographic universe, every thought is actualized and every act is taken.

The possibilities for fulfillment are infinite; the requirement is the mental act of thinking, or creating images, in our minds as to what we want to experience.

Our minds are like a toolbox, and the thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to create our lives. Within this hologram of infinite possibilities, we have the full freedom to make our realities as we want them to be, or to hand the reins of our lives over to the ‘race’ or ‘common’ mind…in which case we will experience what everyone else believes is the norm.

Our thoughts have electromagnetic properties that pull into our experience the people, places, and circumstances that can best align themselves magnetically with them.

The minute we decide to stop going along with what everyone else says are ‘the facts’, and we choose to start thinking, not on what seems to be, but on how we want things to be, our new thoughts begin pulling our new preferred situations into our lives.

In a nutshell, we begin using the Law of Attraction consciously, – which in turn enables us to create our lives in a conscious, responsible, and joyous manner.
