Attraction What You Want
The Law of Attraction – Writers and Books
This subject entered the public’s mind more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the term, the law of attraction was not used. The authors that wrote about it, called it the law of opulence, mental power, mental magic, the power of thoughts or creative visualization.
It is the same law, the same power, only with a different name.
Many years ago, William Walker Atkinson, Richard Ingalese, Opheil and many others, have written books on the power of the mind, and how to attract to you what you want. These books are still popular and available nowadays at bookstores.
Other known authors are Joseph Murphy, Napoleon Hill and Wallace.D.Wattle. Later, Shakti Gawain wrote a book on the subject and popularized the term “Creative Visualization”.
All of these books are about what is now termed as “The law of attraction”.
As you see, it is not a new subject, but due to the media, it became a “hot” subject today. If you look around in bookstores, the Internet, TV and the newspapers, you will find many new books and articles on this subject budding every day. This brings to mind the well-known phrase, “there is nothing new under the sun”.
The message of all these books is that if you keep thinking upon a certain subject, you will ultimately attract it into your life. Thoughts, mental images and feelings can affect the subconscious mind and the Universal Mind, making them act on your behalf to manifest your desires.
This is a most inspiring and elating idea, but inspiration and feelings of elation are not enough. You need to know what to do and how to proceed; otherwise you will get no results. You need to do more than just daydream. You need to put some effort into this project, and apply certain mental laws.
Requirements for the Law of Attraction to Manifest
The realization that you can transform your life and create success brings excitement and hope. However, these feelings can change into disappointment and frustration, if you don’t know how to proceed.
It is not enough just to visualize a goal for a few minutes, and then let doubts and disbelief fill your mind for the rest of the day.
It is not enough just to visualize a few times, and then wait for miracles to happen.
- You need to have a strong desire and motivation, and the commitment to do whatever is necessary to achieve your goal.
- You need persistence, concentration, the ability to visualize, and at least a certain degree of self-discipline.
- You need to be willing and ready to take and use opportunities that come your way.
- You need to be willing to act and take action whenever required, not just wait for your desires to materialize out from thin air, or drop suddenly on you from the sky.
