The law of attraction states that what you think about and feel about the most will attract more things into your life that match or mirror those very same feelings and thoughts. Now, we can begin to control this on a conscious level. It takes time and practice to get good at it, however, it pays in dividends. So basically if you think and feel negative emotions most of the time, you are going to attract more people, situations and things into your life that sustain those emotions and thoughts. If you are a sad person most of the time you are going to attract things into your life that sustain that emotion of being sad. If on the other hand you learn to see and think and feel much more positive in your world then you are going to start to attract more people, situations and things into your life that will sustain those positive thoughts and emotions.

The trick to this is learning to watch what we are thinking about and how we are feeling. Most people simply wonder through life with no awareness of what they are thinking or feeling until after it is a part of the past, if even then. Now you might be thinking, “of course I know what I think and feel! How silly is this guy!” However, I assure you that you most likely do not know most of the time. See, we see or hear or our thoughts in our minds, but we never truly pay attention to them. We might think nice car, and instantly to go it’s a nice day. Our minds and emotions are constantly jumping around to many different things all the time based on what is going on around us. But we must learn to put our mind and our emotions in the place that we want them to be.

Most people are living in the past or are detached from the present. What I mean by that is simple. Most people are either constantly being pulled by their emotions and thoughts based on what just happened or what they just thought about or felt about. Other people are simply detached emotionally from what is happening. Both of these are very bad when it comes to the law of attraction. The emotionally detached people have a hard time connecting with positive emotions and what they want on a deep mental and emotional level. The people who are emotionally in the past are constantly chasing something that is completely gone forever and will never come back. Niether of these are in this very present moment, which is all we ever have. The more you can learn to live right now in this moment, the better off you will be all around.

So learn to pay attention to your thoughts and your emotions on a regular basis. After you begin to realize what thoughts you are having and what holds your attention both mentally and emotionally, you can begin to change those thoughts and emotions to be more in alignment with what you truly want. The more you are able to keep your mind on what you want and your emotions on what you want, the easier it will be for you to get what you want. The law of attraction really is that simple. The hard part is learning to manage our thoughts and our emotions. Work at it, and I promise it will become much easier with practice, then you can begin to create magic in your life that others will look at in amazement.

Humanists also ascribe to this concept, in identifying art in all its forms as one of the most glorious aspects of humanity, and something that feeds our individual spirits and enhances our societies. Inspiration – the very word meaning to breathe inward that which is outside of and all around us – comes to artists as a force, a Muse, a substance that is not the artist but inhabits him or her for a little while. Those who are most in tune with this force, we call genius; the well-known writer Elizabeth Gilbert suggests that we reframe this concept in keeping with that of the ancient Romans, and view the artist not as someone who is genius but who has a Genius, a spirit that inspires.

Writers often speak of characters and stories that develop in spite of the writer’s intention and in unexpected ways. Musicians and composers talk of music ‘in the air all around’ that flows through them; one scholar even went so far as to suggest music as the matrix, the inherent fabric, of the universe, correlating it to subatomic matter and string theory. Performers permit their characters to ‘inhabit’ them. There is a sense of otherworldliness connected to the creative act, and to art itself.

What about those of us who aren’t artists, or who don’t self-identify as such?

It is a given that all humans are creative. We must think creatively every day in order to solve problems, make the most of our lives, get what we want and need. While some of us exercise this ability more than others, it nevertheless exists within each of us. Indigenous people typically fall into two categories of creativity: those who make art as external objects, and those who become it in the form of self-decoration and performance. The same can be said, though not always as obviously, of those living in modern societies.

Atheists and agnostics don’t typically acknowledge the idea of “spirit”, while people who are religious have proscribed ideas of its meaning. Humanists bridge this gap by identifying art as one of the ultimate forms of human expression, enhancing the meaning and experience of life.

How can we pursue creativity as a spiritual path? Essentially, the process of being creative, and the regular inclusion of it in our daily lives, can enhance our personal well-being, our sense of connectedness with the world and its inhabitants, and our attitude of benevolence toward others. Creative process can improve our quality of life and our relationships. Whether the end result is “good” by common standard is irrelevant; it’s the process itself that’s important.

If you like to write, try keeping a journal; if you prefer to draw, or paint, or sculpt, or compose music, then find a regular time to do so. Meditating beforehand, or at least sitting quietly with an open mind and a focus on your breathing (inspiration!), will aid in the connection of creativity to spirit. To access less familiar areas of your mind and spirit, experiment with styles of creativity that you haven’t done before, or even considered. Creativity in a group (think: drumming circle, or the artists’ schools in the Renaissance era) can be even more powerful, and surely, when community and creativity come together, Spirit is present.

Creativity can be an effective tool for enhancing our spiritual growth. Adopting it in various forms as a regular, even daily practice can provide opportunities to shift our consciousness in ways as yet only imagined.

What was it about The Secret that caught the imagination of so many people? I sensed that it was hope – the hope that arose as they became aware of a powerful principle that could “restore the years the locusts have eaten” as John Randolph Price so eloquently puts it in his mini-masterpiece The Abundance Book. “The Secret” could free us – each of us individually – from the lack we had experienced in various areas of our lives. It could make us ‘rich’ – however each of us defined this word.

I recognized a potential ‘crash’ – from hope to despair – hanging like death over the shoulder of thousands of people. The Secret was and is brilliant in exposing the powerful principles of the Law of Attraction. It gives tangible examples of its application, albeit primarily in ways of attracting material wealth into one’s life.

What I sensed as a ‘red flag’ was the potential rapid drop from exhilarated hope to despair if the same people inspired by The Secret weren’t assisted to understand it more deeply, discover invigorating and alluring ways to apply it, and realize that practice, practice, practice is how anything changes. Mastery is the committed act of turning our metaphoric lead into gold.

The mind is an awe-inspiring instrument. Each of us receives one at birth. And yet, so few of us ever learn how to use this magnificently powerful tool. How to tap its deepest potential. How to thrive, informed and awakened by the eternal and limitless flow of its genius.

Most of us learn how to think TOO MUCH. Far too few of us learn how to surrender to a Vision, a comprehension, a sense of wonder which only the deeper powers of this magnificent mind can reveal to us.

How could your life be different ? if you learned how to turn lead into gold?

Applying the powerful magnetism of the Law of Attraction in your personal life is a fantastic place to begin.

The beauty in discovering these principles of Attraction and Allowing is that they are completely transferable. As you learn and Master them in one area of your life, you can apply them with confidence in any and all areas and get your desired results.

It gets even better. As we each become individual Masters of Creation, we are in a position to begin focusing our desires and attention on well-being well beyond ourselves.

Start small. Apply the teachings in this book to something you feel strongly that you want to experience in your personal life.

As you Master Creation, you will naturally begin to think beyond yourself. Give the gift of your learning – your growing – to the world. Consider how you can share your increasing Mastery of the Law of Attraction to larger ripples – to your friends, your family, your workplace, your community, your culture, your humanity, your Earth.

Learning how to create what we each want – through Visioning it, focusing our attention upon it, consistently pointing our ship in the direction of it, and allowing our respect-full selves to receive it – is paramount in resolving both our personal experiences of lack and suffering – and our collective experiences of lack and suffering.

The micro is the macro. As above, so below. We are each the uni-verse. What I discover and comprehend, embody and model you, too, can gain from.

We are each a pebble in this great pond of Life. Our ‘ahas’ – our discoveries, our new experiences – create ripples in this infinite sea. Your increased freedom, joy, happiness, health, and whatever else you create emanates outward from you without even your thinking of it ? and I, and millions of others, benefit immensely from this.

As we humans begin to grasp the meta-physics of how energy is the source of all existence, and how – as each of us becomes more conscious, more healthy, more happy, and more fulfilled, we impact each other with the selfless generosity of this gain – we lift the whole of humanity to a new day, a new dawn.

Learn how to create, with the focused power of your own mind. Vision a more positive future – for yourself and for humanity. Apply your consistent attention to this Vision. Notice your feelings, as your barometer of hope or of despair. Discipline your thoughts to lead you consistently to feeling inspiration, possibility, motivation, and joy. You will learn how to do this through the course of this book. As you do, allow this new uni-verse to bestow its richness upon you.

You and all of humanity deserves for you to live in joy, health, enlightened consciousness, financial freedom, and all that you can dream.

For what we long so deeply for is our Soul’s desire. Well beyond the intentions of our ego, our Soul can ONLY serve the ‘whole’. It cares for our ultimate well-being – which is the well-being of the One.

- Excerpt from the book “The Simplexity of Abundance – 4 Steps to Plenty”.

Some have blown the concept way out of proportion. For example in the movie The Secret it was said that if you see yourself with a movie star – will he/she show up at your door the next day? It doesn’t work like that nor do I think the writers intended us to believe in magical and/or spiritual miracles that will happen each time you make a wish on the Genie’s lamp.

I think that’s where the Law of Attraction can “suck” for some people. Those who have misunderstood what the Law of Attraction is really about.

It’s neither about making three wishes that will be granted nor believing so much that you’ll marry the next celebrity and be in love for life; just because you believed in it so much you magically made it come true.

The Law of Attraction is very real and goes much deeper than that.

It’s about self awareness and the way you perceive the world around you.

Here’s an example:

Let’s say you are a negative person. You see others who are taller than you’d like to be so in your heart you are jealous of them. The taller person walks by you and you don’t even realize the look on your face. They see your sneer and react to it. They may scoff back or even simply ignore you.

You don’t think you feel negative toward this person and in fact your feelings against taller people might be so deep seeded you don’t even realized you turned your nose up at them.

So then you take the “victim” role and think to yourself, “See, people just don’t like me. All I get is crap from other people and I don’t get it.”

So you perceive others as jerks. Nobody cares about you and nobody wishes to even get close to you. You have no clue why other than the world is a nasty place.

Well, it’s true the world is a nasty place if that’s what you make of it. Its true people don’t like you and especially taller people. That’s what you’ve made around you.

So my point is this; you get what you give. That’s as simple as I can explain the Law of Attraction for our new age thinking.

Now does it go any deeper than that?

I feel it can, yes.

Not magic, but to master how to attract others or what you want in life can happen. It’s like when you’re a child and you see yourself having limitless opportunities in life.

The older you get the smaller your world of opportunities may appear.

Think about it.

Most of us believed we could do anything we put our minds to when we were toddlers. Maybe even still as teens.

Yet hardships in life happen and then we start to “think” that’s just what reality is. Limits.

Essentially “we” limit ourselves. Not the world or other people, businesses or jobs. It ultimately falls on our shoulders what we choose to believe we can or we “will” make happen.

The Law of Attraction isn’t about magic, it’s about “working” toward something you believe you’ll make come true … and it will as long as you keep working toward it.

So with your own business product or MLM opportunity, online store or your own bricks and mortar business that it will become a success if you keep working toward it. No matter the hurtle in life or business, it’s up to you to figure out the angle around that obstacle to get by it in order to achieve your goals.

It may not be as easy as “magic” dust, but with the right tools, calculations, having patience and the willingness to learn from previous mistakes, your dreams can come true.

Besides, the more you are successful, a strong leader, a “positive” thinker the more “fun” it will be to be around you. Others will “desire” to feed off your positive energy and maybe even give back to you because you’ve made them feel good.

Ever been told you’re a perfectionist, too sensitive or that you dream or think too much?

To have a high degree of creative intelligence is a gift — but because our society, schools and workplaces privilege more conventional and conformist intelligences, it is not always experienced that way. If you, or your nearest and dearest, do not understand what it means to becreatively intelligent, in everyday terms, a great deal of suffering can ensue.

“In a society that doesn’t appreciate them, creative abilities are often labeled and experienced as liabilities,” says Mary Taylor, LCSW, of the Creative Intelligence Centre. “Highly creative people often face a lifetime of hardship and psychological pain because they do not see themselves or their abilities clearly.  The abilities of highly creative people are frequently hidden under…emotional, occupational andrelationship difficulties.”

While the [creative] person is all too aware of their problems, they are often unaware of their abilities.  This, allied with the fact that they live in a society that prefers linear, rational thinking and behaviour, makes them try to fit into situations that don’t suit them — and thenblame themselves when that doesn’t work out. Hence: “I’m too sensitive”; “I’m too much of a perfectionist”; “I think too much”.

These erroneous conclusions can do “major damage” to self image, says Taylor, and “attempts made at correcting a problem from this vantage point are frequently unsuccessful because the initial interpretation was in error. Their deepest turmoil often stems from the fact that although they feel they are capable, they are unable to bring their talents into the world in a recognizable or tangible form. They often feel confused in their attempts to figure this ‘puzzle’ out.”

Over time, self-blame and lack of understanding leads many bright, creative people into marginalized lives as adults — underemployed,dissatisfied and often in tremendous psychological pain.

First Stage Problems (Issues that stem directly from the ability itself)

Depression caused by a lack of creative and intellectual fulfillment – environments which are creatively or intellectually under-stimulating.
Feeling overwhelmed by the difficulties of managing high ideaphoria and divergent thinking patterns – a high flow of ideas and the capacity to process thoughts on multiple levels simultaneously.
Sensory overload resulting in anxiety, irritability and fatigue brought on by the combination of strong sensory skills and environmental stimulation.

Significant questions in making an assessment of such problems include:

“Am I really ‘obsessive compulsive’ or do my finely tuned visual abilities mandate I create an environment of visual beauty and order?”
“Do I actually have a biochemical depression, or am I an imaginative person living among a plethora of concrete thinkers?”
“Do I have ADHD or am I attempting to physically keep up with my numerous ideas and interests through multiple projects and activities?”

Second Stage Problems (When first stage problems are ignored or misattributed).

Identity Problems – Many highly creative people accept mistaken notions about themselves including beliefs of being “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” “too much of a perfectionist,” “thinking too much,” and having “too many ideas.”  These negative descriptions can result in damage to one’s self image and failure to identify the raw ability that may behidden under the perceived problem.
Adjustment Problems – Many highly creative people struggle because they do not see themselves or their abilities clearly. This can result in the experience of going from job to job or relationship to relationship and wandering through life desperately looking for a purpose.
Academic Problems – Highly creative individuals often have aptitudes that lie outside the realm of standardized tests, which typically favour linear thinking and the logical/mathematical and linguistic aptitudes. Academic problems can also stem from a lack of compatibility between learning style and teaching style. For example, when a linear-thinking teacher expects a divergent-thinking student to solve a problem using a step-by-step approach, while excluding inductive and intuitive problem-solving methods.
Medical Conditions – “In my psychotherapy practice, I have witnessed a high correlation between individuals with multiple creative aptitudes and the existence of certain types of medical conditions, most often in the form of allergies, immune deficiencies, thyroid problems and metabolic disorders,” says Taylor.

First and second stage problems are not the result of something intrinsically “wrong” with the person, though that is how they are often experienced.  Rather, they are the result of the stress that accompanies living with unidentified creative aptitudes in a society that does not understand or nurture creative intelligence. “Since creative aptitudes are physiologically based and cannot be “turned off,” first and second stage problems are likely to be compounded over time if effective interventions are not employed.” Taylor says.

What is Creative Intelligence?

Creatively intelligent people don’t necessarily work as writers or artists or in any field labelled ‘creative’. Many work “regular” jobs and may not think of themselves as creative at all. Creative intelligence has little to do with particular activities and more to do with a way of meeting and understanding life.  I define it is “the ability to engage intention and attention in a way that goes beyond the given”.

Applying our creative intelligence invites us to keep both heart and eyes wide open to the emerging moment. We’d all be more creative if we paid less attention to the surfaces, our doings and achievements, our ambitions and desires; and more attention to the depths, the hidden forces and faculties that lie within ourselves and others, within all things and all experiences. We insist on burnishing our worries and wants and wishes, until we are blind to what’s in front of our eyes.

We insist on resounding our opinions, until we’ve drowned out  the whispers of  our hearts. So we fail to see the true visions, to hear the sound of other spheres. And the eternal stream folds back into the infinite nothing, from whence it came, having flowed past our skin instead of through our blood.

Are You Highly Creative?

Use the questionnaire below to examine more deeply how you have experienced this ability in your life — particularly when the ability has been labeled a liability.  What was going on in those times? Did you blame yourself?  If you look back through the lens of seeing yourself as a highly creative person, with an unrecognized gift, how does that change your perception of the event?

For best results, take a notebook and pen and F-R-E-E-Write your answers to those questions.

Do you feel different from those around you or that you are on a different “path” than most?

Have you been told you “think too much” or are “too much of a perfectionist”?

Do/did your schoolteachers berate you for daydreaming or staring out the window?

Were you told you were too “giddy” or “disruptive” at school?

Do you experience a level of imaginative activity that few around you seem to understand?

Do you believe you have “too many” interests?

Have you been told you are “overly emotional”?

Do you go from project to project?

Do you carry a lot of unfinished projects in your mind?

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the numerous ideas and projects you generate?

Are you more affected than others seem to be by environmental stimuli, e.g the weather, bright lights, loud music, other people’s moods?

Have you been told you are “too sensitive”?

Do you feel dissatisfied and unfulfilled in many of your relationships?

Do people frequently ask you for advice — while you feel there is no one who understands you?

Do you believe you are not achieving what you could be in your work, despite a high degree of competence, ability and experience (and perhaps achievement too)?

If you answered “Yes” to more than 3 of these questions, you are indeed highly creative.

You should be excited about this because if you haven’t encountered the book before you are about to be transformed. And if you already know the book you’ll find an exciting audio version of it that you can listen to over and over and ramp up your understanding. You will pick up new insights each time you hear it.

Wallace Wattles was a peculiar little man who developed a mind set that allows attraction and creation of wealth. In his book he shares the formula. Wattles published The Science of Getting Rich in 1910 and that puts it in the public domain which means that you and I have free rights to use it.

Again it inspired The Secret. Rhonda Byrne was at a low point in her life when she was given a copy of the book. In it she learned the law of attraction and all the nueance involved in it’s use. She and her entire crew used the law while making the movie.

The Secret tells a lot about the Law of Attraction, but often the book has more detail than the movie and the same is true here. The Science of Getting Rich never uses the term: Law of Attraction, but it is one of the best textbooks on the subject available.

With the audio book you can listen over and over This will help you make the principals of the law of attraction a part of yourself. You will begin to act according to the principals — in a certain way. When you get to the site that hosts the ebook and audio of The Science of Getting Rich you will discover that it is a blog about the law of attraction. Be sure to check out all of the great content.

The Law of attraction and The Science of Getting Rich, you will never be the same after you encounter them.

When a lot of people first became aware with the idea of the law of attraction, they felt like they have struck gold. They learned that their every desire that they ever wanted was theirs simply for the asking. This concept is nothing short of shocking and amazing. The proof lies in quantum physics.

Before you get all intimidated, let me assure you that we will not go into any deep physics equations here. Instead, quantum physics basically teaches that there are universal laws. These universal laws affect everything, physical and non-physical. In science, we learn that everything is made up of energy. Everything, whether it’s a table, a computer, a dog, a plant, a planet, a galaxy or a human being. Everything is made up of energy. This also includes our thoughts, desires and feelings. Although we cannot see them, they are still energy. In essence, they are a type of reality that has not manifested into the physical experience.

By nurturing certain kinds of thoughts and feelings through focus, you can manifest them into the physical reality. This means that any thoughts, whether they are “good” or “bad” have the same potential and capacity to be manifested into the physical realm. The law of attraction is about understanding that whatever you focus on is what you are nurturing towards physical manifestation. It means that when you understand what you don’t want, that you wont’ focus on those things, so that you can allow more of those things that you do want to manifest.

This may sound too good to be true for some people. Many people have struggled all their lives. So many people work hard and have not had much luck in life. They think “It can’t be as simple as that!”. But take for example a car that needs a new transmission. You can work very hard digging a ditch, and you can dig a huge ditch for 5 years, but that car is not going to start running until you find a way to repair that transmission.

This is the point of the law of attraction. It’s about learning how to use our minds more efficiently to experience a higher quality of life.

When you first began to see “The Secret”, you may have started to do the first requirement of the 3 step equation of manifesting, which is believing. You may have also asked and waited to receive. And it may have worked, in a way, but not quite. Everything that you wanted didn’t quite seem to come as easy as they said it would be. Even, some things did not come about. You may have found yourself a little frustrated with this idea of the law of attraction.

You may not be in that dream house, have that million dollars in the bank, or own that brand new Porsche. So, you may have thought “Why didn’t it work for me?”. Is it a scam or did I miss something.

The truth is that the law of attraction works. It has been proven to work over and over again in many people’s lives and guess what? It’s working right now in your life. There are no exceptions. The law of attraction works every single time. There are three requirements to harnessing the law of attraction to get more of the things you want. They are not complex, and are really natural to what you’re already doing.

Before we get into that, let me explain that most of us have been steered away from our natural sense of being. We’ve been taught to make life so difficult that we have forgotten how to just be. The law of attraction is a process. It takes time to become a deliberate creator of our own life.

The very first requirement to harnessing the law of attraction is to realize that you’re starting. Just like learning to play the guitar, or learning how to drive a car or learning a new language, we all start out as newbies. That means you have to know where you’re starting point is and where your desired destination is. It means tapping into where you are right now. It also means that you are at the point in life that you’re in for a reason.

No matter what, you are always the creator of your life, whether it is by default or deliberately. Consciously, you may not understand or know why you are at the point in life where you are now, but your unconscious levels do know. Those parts have manifested exactly what was desired. Most people simply try to impose their conscious will on those unconscious levels, and that doesn’t work. You’ve got to start with where you are right now and work your way through it.

The second requirement involves allowing the law of attraction to work by articulating what you want, taking into account all levels and parts of your life. There are various segments and parts of your life. These can be called environments. You don’t just choose one portion to create in and then leave the others. You create all areas of your life at the same time. So, if for example you want a pay raise in your job, you don’t forget that you’ve also got to offer more value to your boss. You also don’t forget that you’ve got to have time for your family and relaxation.

By taking into account all aspects of your life when you’re deliberately creating, you can avoid creating conflicts that end up destroying your focus and canceling out your goals.

The third requirement is clearing the pathway so that you can have pure and focused energy flowing back and forth. Most people know that when they’re cooking there are a lot of things that need to be in place to ensure a delicious meal. You can be a gourmet chef, buy only the best ingredients, have a great recipe, use only the best pots and pants, but if you’re using a dirty bowl to mix things in, then your meal is going to be ruined.

It just won’t work. In the same way, if you’re using a mixing bowl that is caked with molded and old food (old habits, stagnating beliefs and behaviors), then whatever you try to create in that bowel will be tainted. The same principle applies in our life. You just can’t create what you want if you’re not clearing a pathway.

How do you remove some of those old blocks and make a clear pathway? One excellent way is through hypnosis or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, also known as NLP. These are excellent tools to clear those limiting beliefs and to be able to allow the wonderful new things in your life that you know you deserve. Deliberate creation is possible with the law of attraction, once you put these tools to use!
