The law of attraction was first popularized in the 2006 movie “The Secret” by Esther and Jerry Hicks. It has had a huge impact on the mass consciousness, but there is still a large amount of confusion on its general application.
#1 - It’s About Vibration, Not Thoughts
The main idea behind the law of attraction is that people manifest their reality not through their thoughts but through their vibration. The universe will respond to the energy generated by a particular thought as opposed to the thought itself. So you need to first get yourself into a good mood somehow before you will
be able to manifest the energy of what you really want. After a while, the vibration becomes the reward, and the material items just appear after the fact.
#2 - Letting Go of Resistance
The level of internal resistance people have to the things
that they want
is not understood. People can have certain problems or issues, and then they create an identity of themselves out of these problems. When something comes along that is at odds with our idea of ourselves as inferior
in some way, we resist.
This can be observed when people win the lottery and wind up homeless 10 years later. We have to be a vibrational match to a new reality and not
be attached to our former convictions. Otherwise, nothing will change. Many people are resistant to
the idea of the law of attraction and will refuse to believe existence could be so simple. They will then continue to struggle
believing that it is just how life is.
#3 - Don’t Get Precise
It is important to understand the vibrational equivalent of what you want. You can have an image or a feeling about what you want that makes you feel good. But as you get more precise about how
it is supposed to manifest, the universe has fewer ways
that it can give it to you. There are millions of ways to get rich. But you can only possibly contemplate one or two methods which would involve years of work and labor. Consider that every successful person has vastly changed their business models. And they do so regularly. They might have a general idea about where they want to go, but they definitely innovate and change as these opportunities present themselves.
So get happy and positive about the future, but don’t get too precise about how it will materialize.

You mentioned about the movie “The Secret” which later came as a book as well. Although I have not read or watched the movie, reading your article I could understand the idea behind the Law of Attraction.
ReplyDeleteThe belief of the law of attraction claims that thoughts can change a person's life directly – for me it is little difficult to digest, but you do mention the possibility of its occurrence. I was also reading the synopsis of the book online-The book(The Secret) is influenced by Wallace Wattles' 1910 book The Science of Getting Rich, which Byrne the author of “The Secret” received from her daughter during a time of personal trauma in 2004.
She puts it in three-step process: ask, believe, and receive.
From my viewpoint: I believe in a supreme being: God. When we ask from God He definitely gives us, but then He gives us wisely. Many a times we desire and believe for things to happen so intensely but they don’t materialize and sometimes it does. So for me the things that is good for us God gives and the things that aren’t good for us we not receive.
