Is The Law of Attraction a Thing?

Is the Law of Attraction a Thing and, indeed, was it ever a Thing? Now, I’m being a little sneaky here, because by “Thing” I don’t mean a fad or craze, but something more tangible.

Certainly, since the movie The Secret came out in 2006, the Law of Attraction has been a Thing in the sense of a fad or craze, something which has become very popular and, in many ways, mainstream. The movie “The Secret” certainly started or rejuvenated a few careers as a result!

However, in that movie the main focus is on materialising the material such as money, houses, cars and so forth and the concepts shared are, in my opinion, incomplete. The impression is given that if you sit and chant affirmations all day or stick cut-outs of what you want on a Vision Board or create a Mind Movie, the Law of Attraction - or The Universe - will magically make it appear. 

Sadly, that isn't the case otherwise we would all be living our ideal lives. There was very little attention given to the action required, time frames involved and what to actually do - except maybe to sign up for newsletters which usually led to endless offers of this or that programme which claimed to "go beyond the teachings of The Secret". Basically, it may work for a few, but not for the many.

The Law of Attraction I'm referring to, as taught by Michael Losier, is a more Hands-On approach, a practical exercise which actually works in a more tangible way. In that sense the Law of Attraction is most definitely a Thing even though you can’t see it, taste it, touch it, smell it or even hear it. I’m unable to show you pictures of it, or recordings of it or even send you jars full of it yet it is very real, and you can experience it.

The metaphor I would use to describe the Law of Attraction is Air. We don’t see air, we experience light shining through it. We don’t feel air, we experience the sensation as it brushes over our skin. We can’t touch air, it’s not tangible. We don’t hear air, we experience the sound of it reacting to changes in temperature or as it moves something that’s loose. We don’t smell or taste air, we experience the smell of, and even taste, substances carried by the air. As already pointed out, we do experience air – especially when we breathe!

With air we don’t doubt that it’s always there, all around us, entering in and out of our lungs. It’s similar for the Law of Attraction. It’s always there, matching our vibrations, our feelings, our moods. It’s Energy vibrating at a very high frequency, therefore invisible.

Michael Losier defines the Law of Attraction as "Whatever you give your time, energy or focus to you will attract more of, whether positive or negative" and that, to me, makes a heck of a lot more sense and correlates perfectly with similar concepts taught down through the ages.

Fact is, whether you believe it or not, whether you want it or not, whether you reject it or not – the Law of Attraction is a Thing and it is working 24/7, 365.25 in our lives, whether we are aware of it or not.

There’s your tangible proof that the Law of Attraction is very much a Thing!
