The secret to the Law of Attraction

pollyanna · January 30th, 2008, 17:49

I know very few people, if any, will watch the Secret over and over again. It takes so much discipline and so I have spent about 10 hours stopping and starting the DVD and writing most of it down word for word so that it isn't watered down. I got up at 5a.m. and have been typing it out most of the day.

I know I'm slow at typing!!

I'm not trying to be a martyr here, devoting all these hours! hehe I,ve actually learned soooo much whilst I've been doing this. I feel like I produced the film!!! Seriously it's a brilliant 10 to 20 minute read at bedtime or whenever. I think it will help you tremendously without the need to put yourself under pressure. Anyway I am going to put it in a word document for anyone who would like to make use of it. I highly recommend also watching the Secret at least once. Hope this helps, happiness and joy to you

i don't want to wear a bracelet like the one that jack canfield wears. I’m really sorry to say this to you folks, but most people who became rich talking about the power of attraction seem to be really cheesy, or commercial (aka not honest)... like a car saler or something. I don’t see people like writers or real scientists or someone who has a real valour to talk about this process. I believe we get what we give, most of the time. And the most important is to be (or try to be) a good human.

Thanks anyway Pollyanna.

PS - Did you get all that you want with the secret?

Plus…if that law is hearing peoples wishes about getting rich. And its letting innocent children die or get sexually abused, only because they are not aware of that law, maybe its not such a good thing anyway. That’s why I think it’s better to focus on being good and making this a better planet, than focus on being rich or some other selfish wish. If we all do this, Earth will be a paradise pretty soon. Love for you all.

I understand what you're saying Pmaia, but I also got to say that you haven't really comprehended the whole law of attraction thing.

You have to touch into spiritual aspect. The law of attraction also mentions recarnation process and how your thoughts before you are born influcence what you might receive as a child. It goes a little bit against my spiritual belief, but mostly it goes along. And I leave spaces where I am yet to comprehend.

I have tried this method in Japan which I learned from my Yoga teacher way before I encoutered the phrase "law of attraction" in U.S. And it kind of clicked, like, oh this is what it was about. You don't have to believe in this, and other ways of seeing things work totally the same if you ask me (i.e., if you listened to Joel Osteen, the Christian preacher, he recommends the almost same tactics, just in the name of Jesus).

I say, just try it. I didn't really believe in it either until my friends manifested things and I manifested things myself.

And, no, I haven't achieved everything I wish for. But what is life for if we could get everything we wish for in instance? According to my spiritual belief, that's what happens when you go up there. But in this world, we are meant to struggle to achieve what we want, and there is growth within the process. So I would take the steps light hearted. I have manifested some things, and I want to be better at it. I am hoping that meditation will do a part.

By the way, various books on law of attraction mention that being rich is not selfish, because there are abundance in this world and you don't take something away from other people for you to get rich. You can be rich and be able to treat your family and friends all the time, regularly donate tons of money to good charities and so on. Some book (i.e., the one titiled "creative visualization") said that until you take those misunderstood guilt away from you, it would be difficult for you to manifest things.

I also encountered this idea from one of the people who appeared on Secret (Marci someone, sorry can't remember from top of my head, i'll spell it correctly if anyone wishes): The best use of law of attraction is to attract the feeling of happiness. This author who achieved everything you could hope for through law of attraction found herself still not completely happy, and she realized that best of law of attaction is to attract happiness itself. Then, she states, you can become "happy without a reason." I really like that idea. Those of you who read my comment this far, would you mind sharing your ideas on that?

Thanks to all of you who contribute to these discussions!

Love

Please allow me to comment one more... this may be different from law of attraction itself, but well, a bit related since it mentioned the carnation theory a little. (In Hickily books, probably I misspelled, sorry)

What if you lived on this earth 1000s of times already? What if a person decides and says, "hey this time I want to try and live a very disturbing childhood and see if I can rebound in the later life!"? One of the people who preach Spirituailty, said, "Thanks to those people who kill you, you get to understand what it is like to get killed."

...Maybe a bit disturbing. Sorry if it disturbed you.

Hi folks,

Just read the thread on the LOA. I found the film "The Secret" to be wonderful in providing a big picture of the LOA with few details on how to put it to work in a manner that worked for me.

Shortly after seeing the film I injured my knee at a roller skating birthday party for my younger son and was laid up for some weeks. I started doing research on both the film and the "law". I came across lots of neat stuff. By far the most comprehensive and full bodied piece of information is by a woman Esther Hicks. She channels an entity that calls itself Abraham. Their website is Abraham-Hicks.com. I have combined my meditation with reading and doing exercises from her books and am feeling wonderful. I hope that mentioning their website does not run afoul of any expected conduct on this website, my intention is to spread the word of something that I value highly. Enjoy!

Hi Patricia, I think it all depends what we call rich. I don,t believe you need to be a scientist to prove something and anyone can have courage if they care enough. Having left my terraced home because of cruelty from my husband, I brought my two children up alone in Ashfield Valley Flats, Rochdale, which I called cell block 44. I utilized one bedroom as a park because it was too dangerous to play out there. It took a long time to escape from there. I always tried to be optimistic but knew nothing of what is termed as "The Law of attraction" unfortunately. Many years later I stumbled upon "Think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill and created the following:-

Instead of a prison cell in a dangerous place, I have created an incredible dream for and with all my family. To-day we have walked around our lake, my grandchildren dropped off a flask of coffee and some breakfast to my husband who is fishing, then we all walked into the forest and saw 2 deer and a squirrel. We have temporarily gone down to two cars instead of 4 and two mobile phones for the cars instead of 7. All nine of us (from age 4 to age 63) went down to a village dinner dance last night and came home at 1:30 a.m. There were about 300 people, all local families and although there was alcohol being consumed there was no trouble or drunkenness. I have created everything I want for myself and my future generations through the power I believe we all possess and more importantly the valuable lessons we have learned and who we have become is amazing!! Living within the beauty of nature and in a safe environment is heaven to me and wonderful to share with others. I honestly believe it would be extremely selfish to keep this information from others. This is a wonderful community to share this knowledge because Lifeflow meditation will be a great tool to help people achieve their goals and dreams, whatever they may be. Happiness and joy
