365 Ways to Live the Law Of Attraction (day 5)

The Law in Modern Times

Some say the Law of Attraction concept is possibly just an updated version of teachings of the late Wallace Wattle (1860-1911) and those of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993.)  Wattle, who was born into poverty and became wealthy, wrote about the science of getting rich. Peale became famous for his ideas about the power of positive thinking. Both men emphasized the role of conscious and intensely focused thought in achieving the desired goal. Both men believed in a higher power and work in human lives. Wattles referred to it as "formless" intelligence and substance. Peale, a clergyman, spoke and wrote the power and presence of God.

**My Two Cents...  Hmm... I will be doing some research on these men! It's amazing to me that this is a Law or at least an idea that people from all forms of religious background can get behind. May you call that ultimate energy resource the Universe, God, Goddess or something else it's wonderful that everyone has at least one thing to agree on...

How the Law Works

If you've heard old adages such as, "like attracts like," "birds of a feather flock together," as above, so below," and "what you send out comes back multiplied many times over," or the words in the New Testament spoken by Jesus, "ask and ye shall receive," then you may have an idea of what the Law of Attraction is. Simply put, the Law of Attraction asserts that a person's thoughts objects, people and situations and circumstances, both positive and negative, into his or her life. Proponents of the Law of Attraction assert that the law brings you what you desire when you are 1) clear about what you want, 2) energize your desire for the item with thoughts, emotion, visual imagery, and also talk about it and believe it is coming, and 3) feel and express gratitude for what you already have and that which you desire, even if it has not yet come in to your experience.

**My two cents ~ I love how this points out the idea that we have all already come in to contact with the Law and don't even know it. When I first heard about the Law I was so clueless as to what was being said. Then once I started to do my research I started to understand that this was something I have heard over and over again since I was small... That made it much easier for me to accept. Many times you will hear about these new fad books or systems and they are not always on the up and up... But in this case the Law has been around since time began and we can see that in the practices, stories and myths surrounding both Ancient and Present day cultures and religions all over the world...  It almost feels like I'm taping in to that Ancient Understanding...  It's truly a wonderful feeling once you start to learn, accept and use the Law in your own life.
