I too have had the chance to be faced with great adversity and the only way to survive it was to follow this belief. Modern science and Quantum Physics is discovering how this works and is confirming these powers. I truly wish the masses would embrace this, it is a life changing event when you realize this. Your article was informative and brief. I would be curious to hear your story you eluded to at the beginning Lab Lover |

Pilgrim User ID: 31214867 Ireland 12/31/2012 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have not read anything on the law of attraction, but I did see “The Secret”. I loved it. This is just how I had gotten a masters and PhD in record time about 15 years ago. I had learned this and used it intuitively. Quoting: Girl Genius After watching the DVD, I started using the law of attraction in earnest. This was in 2008 and I have a heckuva story about what happened back then, but that’s for another time. Even though I never formally studied it, manifesting has been a big part of my life. I want to share the aspects that I have found most important because you don’t have to make a whole big study of it in order to make it work for you and I think all of the books and DVDs on the topic are a waste of money. Although they might be entertaining to read, you simply don’t need them. The first step is to understand that it’s easy… If you do not embrace this fundamental assumption then it is not possible for you to manifest at this point in time. Meditate or do other healing or enlightenment work instead. There are many wonderful ways to grow that are just as magical as manifestation. Come back to it at a later time when you are able to accept this fundamental truth and get started. The reason that belief is so important is that it fuels intention. The greater your belief, the more powerful your intension will be, thus optimizing manifestation. Without belief, your intension is too weak and will fall flat. The Universe simply will not hear you. I’ve found that manifestation is most effective when you move forward with clear intent and concern for the greater good. Formulate your wish, ask it of the Universe and visualize it’s manifestation. What could be simpler? The clearer your intend and the greater the good, the more easily you will achieve your goal. At least, that’s what I found. The reason this works is that the Universe is a self-organising and self-actualizing system that develops via a recursive process that involves the testing of future states. This intuitive truth is being borne out by physics. If the future you envision meshes with an optimal future state(s), the Universe will pull you toward it. The reason this works is because the Universe is all about winning in a metaphysical sense. You can rest assured that in the end, the Universe will succeed and good will triumph over evil. It’s already happened. Whether or not mankind will partake of the celebration, however, is very much up in the air from our perspective. Personally, I think things are looking up. If we manifest wisely while working hard on the material plane, we can reach a tipping point. When manifesting, it is important to be specific and consistent. And, most importantly – and this is the most difficult part – be aware of what is going on around you so that you can take advantage of opportunities as they arise. And not only that, create for yourself fertile situations in which opportunities can - and will - arise. This is what most people miss. You can’t just passively visualize and expect too much. Well, that may work but you will greatly enhance the possibility of success by physically working toward the same things that you are visualizing about. Take steps. Be active. And most importantly, be alert as opportunities will often arise very suddenly and in unexpected ways. A word of caution to be careful what you wish for. Sometimes we set unwise goals or there are negative factors behind the scene that we don’t know about. Even if you’ve invested a good deal of time and energy, it’s okay to say, no, I don’t think I want that anymore and move in another direction. What has happened is that the Universe has revealed to us the truth about that particular deal. Always take these types of revelations seriously and if you are confronting too many obstacles, understand that the Universe is warning you to move cautiously in this direction, if at all. Finally, keep the faith – don’t let minor setbacks phase you and know that, if it is right for you and the Universe, it will happen. We are more powerful than we can even imagine. Have a wonderful 2013 and happy manifesting to all Interesting............ |

Girl Genius (OP) User ID: 1133676 United States 12/31/2012 11:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What techniques do you use op? Do yiu meditate and do visualizations? Do you journal? Create collages and pictures of what you want to happen and where you are going? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1549882 I have a very good imagination so I feel that I can get the job done with meditation and visualization. But I am also a real active participant in real life. That results in an immersion into multimodal stimuli as I read, watch, research and explore that which I am working to manifest in my life and for the greater good. I have used some of the methods outlined, such as signs, markers, storyboards, but I don't think they are necessary (for everyone). I didn't feel they helped that much; maybe in the beginning. I do coaching (I am trained in a more scientific way on using guided imagery and other cognitive and behavioural techniques) and I do explore their use for my clients if they are not getting results with imagery and meditation. I would try them again if I felt "stuck". For nothing is secret that will not be revealed… |
Girl Genius (OP) User ID: 1133676 United States 01/01/2013 05:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A couple of people pm'd me wanting more details on my personal experiences. Lest you think I have led some kind of a charmed life, please rest assured that I was raised in poverty in an urban environment and have dwelled in the basement of physical and mental despair for more time that I care to remember. I have more than paid my dues. This was primarily due to my own crisis of faith in God and lack of faith in myself. That was a long time ago before I understood my own power and regained my faith. I find now, that if I even think about manifesting, it starts. For example, I pretty much stopped manifesting in a formal way a few years back after a successful summer of manifesting in which we enjoyed a huge windfall in the exact amount requested and found and secured the (commercial) property of my imaginings. Our lifestyle didn't change much as we already had everything we needed but I was able to retire from the formal work force so that was nice. Even though I had a pleasant and rewarding job, there are really other things to spend one's time on. Anyhow, the upshot is that the timing and specificity was such that I understood this was very, very real indeed. Not liking to indulge greedy impulses, I decided that I would wait until I needed greater help for a good cause to bring my case to the Universe and engage in a major campaign again. I the meantime, I meditated and manifested improvement in health, fitness, and personal growth for myself and loved ones. The "Secret" works for everything, really. So this last year I'm thinking, gonna start a big manifesting campaign soon. We have this that or the other thing that must get done and looks like the time is coming to strike. Then Natasha posts her thread on the acceleration in manifestation that she's been experiencing and I think to myself ... omigod, it's actually already happening! Quickly reassessing the potential for opportunities in my life and the work I was doing (key), I saw that they were all falling into place. I am quickly catching up. I praise God and cherish the faith that He has placed in me to support me in my daily life and my quest to help raise human consciousness. But He already knows everything, doesn't He? He therefore knows that I will rise to the challenges that are certain to confront me and I will forever be His faithful soldier on the metaphysical battlefield. Honored to be in the front lines as difficult as it gets sometimes. So thankful for the ammo. This is the magical year - if you have ever considered manifesting for the greater good, now is the time Last Edited by Girl Genius on 01/01/2013 05:40 PM For nothing is secret that will not be revealed… |

Girl Genius (OP) User ID: 1133676 United States 01/01/2013 05:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29979689 Have you checked out ECSYS.ORG I have been turned on to this by someone who started a thread on GLP....I think the thread was titled 'Notes from an Alternate Universe' I really enjoyed it & you might too! Have a Happy & Safe New Year... I did see that site (and the thread). It is interesting, if a bit ungrounded. The amazing thing for me is to see so many ideas coming out over the years that converge on the same basic truths - that the universe is alive in a spiritual, intellectual and metaphysical way and that we are one (it's all one thing) and all of us inextricably connected. It is a great synchrony and a sign of the awakening. For nothing is secret that will not be revealed… |

God is the self-optimizing Universe and Jesus performed his great miracles very much in the way outlined in my OP. His purity was so great, his role so important and his connection so strong that his manifestations were the most powerful the world has ever seen. He literally showed us the way. This is how miracles occur. This is how prayer works. Did you ever think that those who espouse a satanic connection to the law of attraction are trying to deny us this powerful tool are working to weaken our connection to our Creator. Think about it.

I have recently reaped some rewards from incorporating symbols into my life for a business I have started. I am hoping to build it enough over the coming year to be able to give up the job I have now and have come to not love as much as I used to. So far so good. Not enough to support myself, but better than part time job income at this point. I will continue on my path and look forward to my desired outcome. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4545733 United States 01/01/2013 07:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I came across the original, Secret, online before it was released. I preordered 10 copies and was really excited by what I heard and saw on that DVD. I had Secret showings at my home and if my special guests were excited by what they viewed I gave them a copy for them to keep. I just knew it had to be true. However, my experience with the LOA didn't match my enthusiasm and I have met with huge disappointment. I was determined to find out why it seemed to work for some and not for others, no matter what they did to visualize and feel their manifestation was "finished". What I now think is it will not work for everyone. The reason is some of us have been discouraged and defeated beginning as children and followed them as adults. Not loved and nurtured or encouraged to be a success blocks the receiving of the vision. Already desperate, all of my imagination seemed to be for naught. I also looked at it thouroughly from a biblical point of view and found that this can answer many of the miracles of Jesus. However, for me I fell farther and farther in the hole until everything I had was lost including myself. I wanted it to be true so badly. I wanted to believe that everyone who desired something in this life could achieve it using imagination and faith. :-( . |
