The
Law of Attraction
by

The
pursuit of an income (or
at least solvency) and a
retirement fund led me
to investigate many
opportunities... |
It
also
led me to read a variety of books
about attracting wealth. One of
the most significant was The
Science of Getting Rich by
Wallace D. Wattles. The most
remarkable thing is, he wrote the
book almost one hundred years ago
in 1910! Now there's a man who was
definitely ahead of his time.
It's truly amazing reading and is
an excellent introduction to
manifesting your desires. If
you're interested in downloading
the e-book, it's available for
FREE here.
Actually,
that book was the basis for The
Secret movie which I
watched many, many times! As I
mentioned, I had already been
introduced to the principles of
the Law
of Attraction in The
Science of Getting Rich,
although that’s not what Wally
Wattles called it. We all need to
view our lessons from various
perspectives for them to have
value to us and this movie helped
me understand the principles in a
whole new way.
As
recommended by Wally and the stars
in the movie, I started defining
exactly what I wanted and created
a vision board of my ‘ideal’
life. I believe I have something
to contribute to this world and
really want to make a difference,
so that was the central theme.
Also, I wanted the freedom to work
from home, work whatever hours I
chose, and make my own decisions
about what I did, where I did it,
and how. Plus I wanted to
be free to travel the world and go
somewhere warm for winter. (NB:
Only a Canadian would want that!)
There
were other personal items on my
board, but I was very pleased with
it as it represented what I wanted
my life to be. I practiced the
principles daily for several
weeks. And the weeks turned into
months… BUT NOTHING CHANGED!
Why
were all these other people able
to manifest their desires, but I
couldn’t? There are reports of
literally thousands and thousands
of individuals realizing their dreams, but I
wasn’t one of them. I was
frustrated and discouraged to say
the least and continued to read
everything I could lay my hands on
about the Law of Attraction and
anything that would improve my
prosperity consciousness. There
was certainly lots of material
available!
I
knew enough about the Law to
understand that if I wasn't
receiving what I wanted there must
be something within
ME that attracted what I didn't
want. But understanding that and
knowing what it was or what to do
about it seemed beyond me. No
matter how hard I tried to remain
positive and feel "good"
emotions, I couldn't get past
receiving more of what I DIDN'T
want.
Eventually,
I learned there was something Joe
Vitale calls
‘counter-intentions’ at work
within me. These are unconscious
beliefs we have about certain
subjects that actually oppose what
we say we want. As you probably
know, the Law of Attraction works
to bring you what you focus
on. But when you have
counter-intentions, the positive
energy you give out is cancelled
by the negative energy from your
unconscious beliefs.
For
instance, as I mentioned earlier,
my big challenge in this life has
been money. My ideal life
therefore included a generous
income so I followed the
suggestions in The Secret
and visualized cheques coming in
the mail and lots of money pouring
into my bank account. Sounds
simple enough... doesn’t it?
However,
I discovered unconscious beliefs
within me that made it impossible
for me to attract money. They were
counter-intentions that made it
impossible for my visualization to
manifest. It was a very
significant discovery and I’ll
tell you about it another time.
