The Law of Attraction in the Bible

Over the years I have found that many whom believe in the Law of Attraction (LOA) are often more "Spiritual" than they are "Religious". Meaning that they do not follow an organized religion, do not go to church, do not claim to be of a certain religious denomination.

 I'm not saying that religious persons do not believe in the LOA, just that from my personal experience it seems often they frown upon things such as "The Secret" or even the thoughts of Dr. Wayne Dyer and/or the Abraham channel from Ester and Jerry Hicks.

The reason I bring up this topic today is that  I received a religious mailing and included within was a picture of Jesus with the quote "And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive." St. Matthew. 21:22

I found this fascinating as The Secret and the LOA often refer to the concept of 'ask, believe, receive'....

The more I study different beliefs, the more I realize the foundations are far more similar than they are different...

Law of Attraction: How Does your THOUGHT come into play?

Thoughts are things.

Thoughts are vibrations.

Thoughts are energy.

Where do YOU focus YOUR thought?

Have you ever heard these sayings?

• Careful what you wish for!
• If you think it, it will come true!
• Don't say that, you'll  make it happen!

Have you ever said something that you instantly wished you had not said only to stop and search for something wood to knock upon, as you have heard that if you knock on wood, it will confirm the belief that it will not happen. (to see why this actually WORKS, see tomorrow's blog!)

The power of thought is the most powerful energy in the Universe:

Thought comes from all that was.
Thought comes from all that is.
Thought comes from all that will be.

How does one actually define 'thought'?  Is thought generated from our brains?  Where exactly does thought come from?  In reality, thought - just - is.  It is Universal consciousness.

Now, how do you think?   Not what do you think, but HOW do you think?  Often when people are studying the Law of Attraction they find that they get the opposite of their desires.   They then deem that the Law of Attraction does not work.  

Why does this happen?

Well, you get what you think about!  (Good or Bad, the focus of your ATTENTION is what you ATTRACT)   So many people focus on something incorrectly.  i.e.

I don't want this, I don't want this, I don't want this...

They are focusing on what it is that they do NOT want, and in return, that is the vibration they are creating, and the Universe delivers exactly what it is you are focusing your attention on, be it good or bad.

Say you want more money, and you are focusing on how you don't have money.  You want it, you say you are allowing it, you are asking the Universe to manifest it, BUT you are coming from a place of lack.  "I can't pay my bills, I need money."  Well the Universe is delivering on the strongest vibration "I can't pay my bills" and delivering exactly what you are asking for...

How about business?  Do you find you say these things?

I can't afford it.
I am not a sales person.
I can not talk to strangers.
My family will never support me.
No one will buy anything.
No one is visiting my website.
I call my leads but no one joins.
I have failed in this industry before.

It is as simple as modifying your thoughts....

I will find a way to afford it.
I will show my product to people and they will buy it.
I will start a conversation with one new person per day.
My family will see me succeed.
I will market my website and attract visitors.
I will call my leads and follow up with them attracting business partners.
I have quit this industry before, but now I'm changing my focus.

The Universe is precise, with laser focus, so be precise, with laser focus, your intentions.  What DO you want?  Believe it.   Be sure to read tomorrow about how 'knocking on wood' REALLY works!

Playing with Thoughts

Good Things Come to those who ALLOW it!

The Law of Attraction is a Wonderous thing, however many people get stuck on steps 2 and 3
Step 1 is simple, ASK!
Step 2 is a bit harder, ALLOW
Step 3 is the toughest as without step 2, step 3 simply will not happen and this is RECEIVE!

Here is where the confusion lay, many whom read a Law of Attraction (LOA) book such as 'The Secret' simply think that they can ASK or THINK about something and that *POOF* it will manifest in their experience.

For instance, some get the impression that they can focus on money, "I need money, let money come to me!" Yet they get gravely disappointed when they don't get money, and instead they receive a new bill or debt. They then get upset with the LOA and say it does not work!

Here is the catch. When you ASK for something, it is delivered no matter what, based upon your focus. If you ask for money, then say 'ACK I will never be able to pay my bills'. Well you are given 'not being able to pay your bills' because that is the focus of your asking. You are asking based upon lack, and not allowance.

One must be aware of how it is delivered, and even if asked for with laser driven precision!

When someone asks for money perhaps an opportunity for a new job will be presented to them. Perhaps they'll get more hours at their current job. Perhaps their neighbor will ask them to pet sit for the weekend. All of these things are the money flowing to them, BUT many do not recognize this as the money because WORK is involved in it. They brush away the opportunity, they do not recognize that they have been provided exactly what they have asked for.

The next time you ASK for something that you need, pay attention the little things, the stepping stones that will lead you to the exact thing you asked for. Simply put, if you do not allow the opportunity into your life, you are blocking the receipt of what it is you are asking for.

Ask. Believe. Receive.
