Does The Law of Attraction Really Work?



Does The Law of Attraction Really Work?

Millions around the world believe in The Law of Mental Attraction. Somehow, without much analysis they start to believe that such a Law must exist, since thousands of experiences have been told by many means, including books, videos, movies, blogs, websites, etc.

The problem arises when a few months of visualization and some mental work have elapsed and nothing happens. Skepticism, lack of faith and disbelief are the result. The inevitable question of the incredulous user of the Law is: Does the Law of Attraction Really Work?

Let´s put some information to answer the question. The basis upon which all law rests was discovered by inductive reasoning, which consists of comparing a number of separate instances with one another until the common factor which gives rise to them all is seen. It is this method of study to which the civilized nations owe the greater part of their prosperity and the more valuable part of their knowledge. It has lengthened life, it has mitigated pain, it has spanned rivers, it has brightened the night with the splendour of day, extended the range of vision, accelerated motion, annihilated distance, facilitated intercourse, and enabled men to descend into the sea, and into the air. What wonder then that men soon endeavoured to extend the blessings of this system of study to their method of thinking, so that when it became plainly evident that CERTAIN RESULTS FOLLOWED A PARTICULAR METHOD OF THINKING it only remained to classify these results. In every major religion and in any time in the known history of human race, The Law of Attraction always has been known, perhaps in different names, but in essence the same. Let´s look at a few examples:

FROM THE CHRISTIANS:

1) Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness” (Genesis 1, 26)

2) So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them (Genesis1, 27)
(These verses acknowledge that we really are spirits, and that we have the creative power of God inside us.)

3) As a man thinks, so he is. (Proverbs 23, 7)

4) Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11, 1)

5) Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. (Philippians 4, 8)

6) Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. (Gal 6, 7)

7) Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (Mark 11, 24)



FROM THE BUDDHISTS:

1) What we think, we become. (Buddha)

2) To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one´s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one´s mind. (Buddha)

3) The mind is everything. What we think we become. (Buddha)

4) We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. (Buddha)

5) We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. (Buddha)

FROM ESOTERISM:

As God creates, so man can create. Given a certain intensity of will, and the shapes created by the mind become subjective. Hallucinations, they are called, although to their creator they are real as any visible object is to anyone else. Given a more intense and intelligent concentration of this will, and the form becomes concrete, visible, objective; the man has learned the secret of secrets; he is a Magician. (Isis Unveiled, Volume 1, Page 62)

FROM THE VEDAS (9,000 BC)

Zaktis (Sk).- There is in Nature 6 elementary forces synthesized by the seventh. These forces (Zaktis) are:

1) Parâzakti. Literally the great or supreme force or power. It means and includes the powers of light and heat.

2) Jñânazakti. The power of the intellect, true wisdom or knowledge. It has two aspects, according to the manifestations of that power they are under the influence or control of material conditions, or are free of the bonds of matter.

3) Ichchhâzakti. The power of the will, the most ordinary manifestation is the generation of certain nerve currents which set in motion those muscles needed for fulfillment of the desired object.

4) Kriyâzakti. The mysterious power of thought which enables it produce external, perceptible, phenomenal results by its own inherent energy. The ancients held that any idea outwardly manifest if one concentrates deeply her attention. Just as an intense volition will be followed by the desired result.

CONCLUSION:

Use your inductive reasoning and answer the question yourself. Does The Law of Attraction Really Work? It is almost impossible that with that distance in time, with too different culture and beliefs, humanity has acknowledged the inherent creative power that we have, that our thinking has. Nowadays many call it The Law of Attraction; a hundred years ago others call it The Law of Demand and Supply. Other just call it faith, and so on. What is really sure, is that a mental phenomenon is described, that CERTAIN RESULTS FOLLOWED A PARTICULAR METHOD OF THINKING. Sometimes, people think there is no law. There is a Law, call it whatever you want to call it, but the operator of the Law is inefficient and the lack of results make him incredulous. When a person says he has complied with Law and has not got results he has made a mistake somewhere. He has not complied. The results are absolutely certain if the law is complied with, but you must pay the price: Mental work, hard mental work, the kind of work that so few are willing to make.
