Attractive Attraction

Over the past several weeks I’ve received dozens of email solicitations for books, CDs and videos that promise to reveal newly discovered techniques to improve my life. These emails promise a wide variety of benefits: how to get rich, lose weight, meet the woman of my dreams and buy a million dollar mansion with no money down. In some cases the salesman will throw in a “Ginzu knife” or “pocket fisherman” if I order immediately!

While some of these marketers may actually believe they’ve invented a whole new system of creating a life anyone would want, the truth is “there is nothing new under the sun.” Mystics have studied the underlying principles that manifest reality for centuries. These same principles existed in the time of Socrates and they existed before the establishment of many of today’s religions.

Whether it’s money, love, health, or anything else, the principles are the same. In mystical terms, the Law of Attraction specifies that you will attract to yourself those experiences that match your beliefs. In the words of quantum physics, the observer affects that which is observed. Since you are the observer, it’s you who affects your life, that is, it’s you who creates your experience of reality.

You create your experience via your underlying beliefswhether they are conscious or unconscious. If you’re not conscious of your beliefs then you must make them conscious. As Carl Jung said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Or, as mystics will say, “Know thyself.” This includes your beliefs.

Before you begin to manifest your ideal life, you must get clear on exactly what you want. Examine your desire from a mystic perspective. Is it something that would be of benefit to many people or is it a purely selfish desire? If you are attempting to manifest your desire at the expense of someone else, there will be a steep price to pay in the future. Remember, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” so why saddle yourself with additional burdens? If your desire seems selfish, reframe it so that it’s of benefit to others.

Once you are clear on exactly what you want, then it is a straightforward matter to manifest your desire. There are three steps:

Step 1. Visualize exactly what you want for 5 minutes per day. Let’s say you want to go sightseeing in Paris. You may want to visualize the Eiffel Tower. Why 5 minutes? Because any longer and your mind will wander. Any shorter and you may not be fully fleshing out your vision.

Step 2. Put yourself in the picture, with detail and emotion. You have a clear view of the Eiffel Tower. But, if you don’t visualize yourself in the picture, the universe will manifest your desire, but perhaps not in the format you anticipated. For example, you might get a postcard of the Paris skyline in the mail. To avoid any misunderstandings, picture yourself standing in front of the tower. What are you wearing? Are you there with your spouse or some new love interest? Add details, employing all your sensory data. You’re eating a delicious croissant. The wind is blowing gently on a beautiful, sunny spring afternoon. You hear conversations en fran
