BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Self Development The Secret - Do you believe in Law of Attraction

The fourth question is about the Secret to the World -

Do you think what is happening in the world today with the economy, etc. would be different if everyone understood the power of the Law of Attraction?

"Even though we say we have lack, it's because we don't open up our vision and see all of what is around us." Dr. John Demartini

We'll be eagerly waiting to read your thoughts and opinions.

I believe that all the negative news coverage is producing "group" negativity.

Like attracts like - until we begin focusing on the positives, the economy is just going to get worse.

I don't watch network news or read the newspaper news and haven't for many years. They literally make their money with bad news. I read internet news where I can choose which stories *I* feel are important.

I think we are very spoiled in our modern economy. We're moaning about how bad things are - and 95% of our "poor" have color TVs, a car, air conditioning, you name it. Look at the poor in other countries!! They barely have a one room shack with a roof!!

We have people going to food banks because they don't want to sell their fancy jewelry. To me that's just wrong.

I believe we have energy and can attract to us what we think about most.

Have you ever thought about someone and they called?

I have an example that happened to me today - I keep saying to my husband, "I want to get a new pair of glasses but I'll wait until I need them." I must have been saying this for at least a month.

Guess what happened today? My glasses fell apart (I didn't have anything to do with it, honest) and now I need a new pair. Was that the Law of Attraction in action?

I have to wonder though if we remember the 1 time out of 100 that we think of someone and they call - and conveniently forget the 99 times out of 100 that we think of someone and they don't call We always remember the exceptions, we never remember the commonplace things.

Isn't there an old saying that says something like - "Good things don't come to those who wait."

That's how I feel about the Law of Attraction - waiting around for the Universe to make your dreams come true isn't the answer. I believe it is a powerful combination of belief in yourself and a higher power AND taking the appropriate action.

If after thinking about your friend and she doesn't call - call her.

But how do you explain the many "coincidences" that occur on a day-to-dy basis. Are there such things as coincidences?

this is not exactly on topic but I only just realised today that John Demartini was actually on the secret. I love his audio CDs they helped me hugely, I was listening to a free one that my father left in his car (we traded cars for a week) and on the drive home it was as if something just clicked into place inside my brain, wierd and hard to explain but I have thought differently ever since, I have known wherre I am going and daily acting on getting to my goals.

I definately believe in the Law of Attraction. I also believe that it's irrelevant whether we believe in it or not, it's working regardless of our belief.

Before I learned about the Law of Attraction, before all the media attention on it, I saw it working in my life and could clearly identify how I affected my life with my thoughts and my focus. Kind of a scary realization!

Here's what I have done and continue to do when I find myself focusing on the things that I don't like - I immediately turn that around to a focus on what I really want. It's like exercising a muscle, only this is an awareness muscle.

Life is an amazing thing to experience when you actively apply this law to your life!

Since all Law of Attraction really is is the Law of Cause and Effect from a "Mind Action" Perspective, I believe that if everyone not only understood but embraced the Law of Attraction, then things would happen differently in the world. Not to be a cynic though, I don't think that will happen in our the next few lifetimes. The Law of Attraction was understood and taught by teachers such as Jesus and Buddha thousands of years ago (even if they didn't call it that), and look humanity is still creating unconsciously.

I think the key though is to realize that there are individual consequences and societal consequences. All we have REAL control over are individual cause and effect. We also have a choice to play our role (however small) in societal and global cause and effect.

I definitely believe in the law of attraction.

The events that have happened in my life entirely because I had faith and believe that 'a power greater than me' would sort it out ... within moments of handing over the request, and on several times, I have received the exact thing I needed at that moment.

Some are unbelievable ... but they are true.

Thank you for being this subject up.
