The Real Law of Attraction

Manifesting Disappointment

You've probably heard many versions of this and in advance I apologise for adding yet another interpretation, but I simply have to share this with you.

We've been sold a lie and I don't think it was done intentionally - let me explain...

The Missing Link in the real Law of Attraction

If you've been visualising your goals, writing out your affirmations, and waiting for the things you want to arrive, you might have found yourself stuck. You aren't alone.

To me, the law of attraction isn't a completed loop - at least not as it's typically explained. Mainstream manifestation packages it as a passive process where you ask, believe, and wait. But that leaves out the physical side of our existence. The crucial missing link is the Law of Action.

True transformation is a two-part process that requires your whole trinity: mind, emotions, and body.

Here's how the real loop of attraction actually completes itself:

Part 1: The Law of Attraction

The law of attraction works in that it aligns you onto the highest mental frequency of that which you desire. If you follow the process, do the work, and complete your visualisations, you'll have created your vision and the corresponding feelings and emotions.

When this has been achieved, the magnetic inspired energy will fill you and now you've manifested the law of attraction. You have the internal and physical frequency, vibration, and energy to start phase two - the physical manifestation through your actions.

Part 2: Introducing The Law of Action

Aligning your mind and emotions is only the first half of the cycle. That inspired energy isn't meant to sit idle; it's designed to fuel the next phase.

This is where the 'magic' actually triggers. Once you've pulled in that inspired energy, you must immediately channel it into the physical world.

• The Action Plan: You map your ambitions into a concrete strategy.

• Physical Manifestation: You use your body to execute the plan through continued daily action, goal setting, and physical training.

The Manifestation Trap

Something I see way too often is that people follow every single aspect of the process, in some cases with such precision that the law appears to be false or not working. Then, with righteous frustration, people seek answers only to be told that you are responsible for blocking the thing you want. They claim the teachings of the law are blameless and you're simply doing it wrong.

Whilst there may be some truth in this for many people, there are countless others who could not have embodied this anymore than they have. So, what's going on here?

Well, part two is left out. In my experience, when the law of action is implemented, people are far more likely to succeed because with it comes a broader understanding of the philosophy behind it.

That being this: there's no guarantee to the success of the law of attraction, even with action.

Bursting the Bubble of Hope

Now, that bursts the bubble of hope for many, and I totally relate to why. We've been sold this as a fail-proof technique that works every single time. If we're getting to the real heart of it, the raw promise is that you attract exactly what you experience - no matter what.

If you're involved in a car accident, then that's because you subconsciously attracted it. If you get attacked or are a victim of a crime, you somehow attracted it. It doesn't matter what happened; either way, you brought this about because that's the law - good or bad.

The only way that makes this even remotely survivable is if you have a life philosophy that says: this is part of the attraction journey and you had to learn these lessons in order to get what you truly desire. And whilst for many this does make some sort of weird universal sense, albeit something we really don't want to be part of, we can perhaps accept it, embrace it, and push through it so we come out the other end stronger, more tenacious, and driven to succeed.

But this isn't the law of attraction as advertised to most people. The law states that the universe isn't like God - in fact, the universe has nothing to do with God because you are God, and like Him, you have the power to manifest exactly that which you desire because it's a universal law of fact and reality.

If at first you don't succeed - make your own sail and give yourself a boost! People will always be observing you, judging you from a distance and like the kid in the video, he's not bothered. He's focused on his vision. But he had to step outside and risk being seen failing so he could practice what he saw in his mind. He took action!

The God Contradiction

Now we're entering some deeper layers that many will feel uncomfortable with. This is usually where the lines blur as we introduce God, because we have to - I don't want to, but we must. If your life philosophy, and by that I mean your true core beliefs and world view especially, say that you believe in a religious God, then we have a problem here.

In many religions, you can ask, believe, and then receive, like in the law of attraction. But many religious Gods don't give you what you want; he, she, or they gives you what you NEED.

If you approach the law of attraction believing in a religious God, then this might explain a deeper belief and world view contradiction that stops any such manifestation becoming your reality.

Completing the Loop

The reason I bring this up is because to some, the law of attraction is a simple universal catalogue. You process your order in a certain way and if you take actions towards it or not, you'll likely achieve it - but for many the results never materialise.

All I'm saying is that achieving your life goals is a relentless commitment to choosing to live with a purpose you decide on, not to settle for what you have right now. Not because you're ungrateful, but because you're unfulfilled on a daily basis.

Whichever path you choose, they're all difficult, but if you keep switching from pursuing your dream life then back to playing it safe, this becomes a loop on its own.

Changing isn't easy and lasting transformation takes guts, hard work, and perseverance, among other necessities. It isn't a quick fix, and it doesn't appear to be a genie-granting-a-wish type of mechanism to fulfilment.

If, at the very least, you can accept that:

1. There are two phases.

2. There's no guarantee of outcome.

   
   

3. But you have the choice to follow your passions or play it safe.

   
   

You will likely develop a life philosophy around the law of attraction which transcends just thinking, feeling, and acting.

It's everything in between - your reaction to a red light when you're late for something, your interaction with the stranger in the supermarket when you're thinking about your bills, or your observations of others as you watch the world from your phone.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I overthink things. Maybe I'm caught up in my own world, or maybe we're missing something subtle that's innocently swept under the rug. All I know about the law of attraction right now is that for some it works and for others it doesn't. But if it's not working for you, perhaps it's worth exploring a little deeper.
