The Law of Attraction Part 2: Science and the Evidence

Science and the law of attraction

There is no doubt that a new reality is emerging in the frontier realms of science that is beginning to challenge our traditional understanding of energy, matter and what drives the universe - a new reality that demands a fundamental recognition and reappraisal of the role of mind and consciousness in the scheme of things, and it is in this light that the 'law of attraction' should be assessed.

In the mainstream scientific world however, the idea of a 'law of attraction' at work in the cosmos is not currently recognised and is summarily dismissed as pseudoscience. In other words, science regards such an idea as indemonstrable as it cannot be substantiated by acceptable scientific proof.

However the problem here may simply be that our present science is just too constrained and limited to consider or evaluate a concept of this magnitude. For let's be in no doubt that the existence of such a law in nature, will force science to accept a universe that creatively and dynamically responds to mind and consciousness - a radically different kind of universe than our current scientific paradigm will permit.

"The action of Mind plants that nucleus which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form." - Thomas Troward

Evidence for the law of attraction

So what evidence exists that there is a 'law of attraction' actively functioning in nature and in our daily lives? Well, the main source of support originates in a wealth of literature drawn from observations of human behaviour and experience. This first began to surface in the 1890's and the early 20th century, the idea finding prominence in the 'New Thought' movement through books published on subjects such as self-motivation, financial success and development of the will.

Amongst the acknowledged classics in this field are "The Master Key System" by Charles F. Haanel, "Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, "Thought Vibration, or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World" by William A. Atkinson and "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles.

The book by Wattles later became the inspiration for Rhonda Byrne's worldwide phenomenon that popularised modern interest in the law of attraction, the film "The Secret" that was released in 2006. Other modern proponents of the law of attraction include Esther Hicks, Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield.

All the teachers recognise that focussed thought and belief is the original causal power behind all manifestations in human experience and that mastery of life and matter therefore requires mastery of mind. As a study of this material will reveal all too poignantly, the chief evidence for the reality of the law of attraction will lie in the observation of successful, happy and fulfilled human beings as compared to those who are poor and unhappy, living unfulfilled lives.

The conclusive observation is that there is something key that makes one individual succeed and another fail, and it is a factor that is not dependent upon education, intelligence or luck, but has been found to be down to a certain state of mind - a 'positive attitude' to life that creates the right kind of thinking. And that it is this 'attitude' that determines success.

Furthermore, maintaining this attitude also appears without fail to 'attract' favourable circumstances, experiences and opportunities to further the person's goal or intentions. These events would normally be dismissed as being 'fortuitous or lucky', but their consistent appearance does not indicate a random chance factor, but rather instead a direct link to something the person is activating by their own conscious or subconscious effort.

That countless people have described and related precisely this recurring pattern throughout the ages of humanity in their experience of joy, prosperity and success in life - and the opposite in misery, deprivation and hardship - would suggest that there is something profound and fundamental going on that has hitherto been overlooked, or perhaps even ignored by the established order of scientific investigation.

The hidden secret

What is certain is that the most successful of human beings have been aware of this law of attraction for centuries, and the teaching of its principles have been passed down to mystical and secret societies throughout several cultures. This has allowed the knowledge to be kept largely the preserve of the learned, privileged and self-proclaimed elite, offering an explanation perhaps as to why most of the wealth and influence in our world lies in the hands of so very few.

Well, thankfully this information has now been passed to all the people of this planet to benefit from. And if we are indeed standing at the dawn of a new age of awareness as to the true nature of the universe, perhaps now the door has at last been opened to transform our world into a place where all human beings can experience boundless life and fulfilment.

My, what a perfect test for the law of attraction that will be!

The Secret Science of Getting Rich

The Science of Getting Rich

There is a secret science of getting rich and many people are uncovering it each and every day. This science is not only about material wealth such as houses, cars and clothes although these things will be available to you once you have truly mastered the science. The main purpose of the secret science is to reveal the true laws of the universe that once followed will yield a bountiful, abundant life that is full of satisfaction and joy. It is about learning to have more gratitude in our lives by appreciating what we already have. Many people might roll their eyes at this notion but it is this exact reaction that keeps us poor.

Understanding Universal Truths

By understanding universal truths such as 'all things are energy' the secret science of getting rich teaches us that we are the answer to the wealth we seek. Many search for wealth outside themselves not realizing that the answers were within them. By using the power of mental projection to form a clear mental image of what is desired, it is possible to bring those desires into material form. For those who have read 'The Secret' and 'The Law of Attraction,' these fundamental teachings may seem familiar. But for those who have never heard of them, it may either seem revolutionary or skeptical. Either way, whether you choose to believe or not, these truths exist and affect everything on the material plane including our bank accounts.

Letting it in

As a society we are taught to be skeptical and at the same time we are taught to go outside for approval. This makes for a very bad combination because we stop letting our intuition be our guides and instead work very hard to receive approval from others in terms of career, religion and family life. Living to blend in with the masses is not a path to truth. Instead it is a way to deny our own uniqueness and to bury the gifts within us. By living from the inside out using the principles discussed in the Secret science of Getting Rich, we find true wealth in becoming the best we can be.

Conclusion

It takes courage to forge ahead and make a new path and this can be scary for many people. However we only have one life to live and what will we have to look back on when it is over? Will we have been just another good parent raising good kids or will we add to our children's lives by developing our highest potential and showing them through our own example? All these things are possible when we know how to live according to the universal truths that govern our lives. The science of getting rich offers us direction and shows step by step how to do this.

The Science of Getting Rich - The Right Business

You can become a success in any business. But when it comes to being in the right business, a person would do best in a business that they like. When you enjoy what you do it is a joy to do it. If you have already developed talents and abilities for a particular business, then it may be to you advantage to work that business as you look for new opportunities. Don't neglect where you are right now, there may be many un-tapped opportunities you have overlooked.

Many times we do not see opportunities that are right in front of us because our attitude is wrong. Ask formless intelligence to show you opportunities that are around you, right where you are today. You may find new and exciting ventures have been there all along!

It may take someone looking in from the outside to point out new opportunities to you. A mentor or a coach or even a trusted friend can often point out things you overlook. What you want might be easily within your reach, but you look right past it.

Another tool I have used to see things I would otherwise not see is photos. Take a series of pictures where you work or spend most of your time. Do you see things in those still photos that you don't see while you are walking through? Study them for a while, a new opportunity, you could not see before, just might pop out at you.

Have you ever thought about what things you do the best and/or love to do the most? Is there a way to use your talents and abilities in your current position? Or a way to grow into another line of work that you can focus on doing what you love?

Wallace Wattles also says: " If you are ever to begin to make ready for the reception of what you want, you must begin now."

So what if you do not have the training or education to have the business you would love? Take action now and "begin to make ready for the reception of what you want". Get the training you need, learn what you need to know, start making connections with people who are doing what you want to do.

You can not sit back and think it into being. You must take steps toward what you desire - you must take action.

From Wattles teaching you can see that even if you are not in the perfect business now, there are ways to get to your perfect business. You may have talents and abilities that you are not using that could get you promoted to a better position. There may be overlooked opportunities right where you are. Or you may need to learn new skills to get into a business you would love. Each action you take brings you closer to your "right business".
