Why the Law of Attraction Doesn't Seem to Work for Everyday People

Recently, I've heard many people say that they do not understand how the "Secret" works, or the Law of Attraction which is essentially what the "Secret" is. One of the main reasons I find that everyday folks seem to have a difficult time with the Law of Attraction is because it has been isolated as the only factor in bringing about desired goals or change. This in itself represents separateness, and it isolates one law as the only law, or main law.

Why is this important? Using the Law of Attraction by itself is fragmentation, and the Universe represents a whole. Any Spiritual teacher knows that universal oneness is always the goal of the Universe. Therefore, using only one law can only create partial results. There are many other Spiritual Laws that work in harmony with other Spiritual and Physical Laws to bring about changes.

Before I discuss some of the other Spiritual Laws and Principles that work in harmony with the Law of Attraction, another concern for the layperson is trying to control our thoughts. Thoughts cannot be controlled. They will pop up no matter what. Even Masters at Meditation will simply let thoughts pass by and continue with their meditation- trying to control thoughts defeats the purpose of meditating which is to still your mind and be present.

You hear people say it's so easy, but in truth it is not. It is hard work. What you can do is change your thinking, and that will change your thoughts, but it will be a process. How do you change your thinking, you might ask?

Many people do not realize that in order to change one's thinking particularly, negative thinking he or she will need to get to the root trauma and dismantle the original negative thoughts. Only then can one begin to understand how to truly use the Law of Attraction and the other Spiritual Laws that work to bring our goals into manifestation.

Using The Law of Attraction without first correcting your thinking patterns will not bring about change or the results you seek. This is why the everyday day person often has difficulty understanding why it has not worked for them. This is analogous to trying to use a new pie recipe using rotten apples. No matter how good the recipe may be if you use the rotten apples, the pie will not be what you want. It may be a pie no doubt, but it surely will not be a good pie

In order to use the Law of Attraction properly one must first correct their negative mental thinking- usually due to some kind of trauma and thought patterns, and then use the other Spiritual Law and Principles.

Thoughts cannot bring things into existence by itself without "Active Will" and "Spiritual Movement."

We are co-creators with God therefore, we can think positive thoughts all day, but it will not necessarily bring about what it is we want. As Co-creators we must understand that our reality is shaped by both our inner experiences and outer experiences simultaneously working to achieve what it is we desire. Quantum Physics has proven this. Our thoughts send the signal to begin the process and acts as a messenger but without the rest of the formula they simply go into the collective conscious, and stay right there. There must be an equal physical response on your part or movement in order to set in motion the spiritual movement and vice versa.

In other words, The Great Creator could have all sorts of things in store for you- so there will be spiritual movement, but if you do not ask, or move in the direction to receive, you will not get what is already in store for you.

Another barrier that keeps the Law of Attraction from working the way we want it to, is understanding that the Law of Attraction simply states "like attracts like vibration" This means our vibration must also be spiritually strong enough to attract an "equal vibration"- and this cannot be done as long as there are spiritual, mental, physical, or emotional deficiencies that may be blocking us. We will always attract equal value. The Universe is always fair. So we will need to check these areas and commit to doing the healing work in order to achieve the results we really want.

Finally, In order for the Law of Attraction to work we must use the Spiritual Law as "Above so Below."

The formula goes like this action on the "Physical /Material plane= action on the Spiritual plane" which is (The Law as Above so Below)+ The Law of Attraction+ Principle of Intentions + Principle of Faith = The Desired results.

In order for the Law of Attraction to work which is directing our mental thoughts and attention on a positive goal, we must use active will, have clarity of our intentions, and we absolutely must have faith, which enables us to rid ourselves of doubting.

This will always bring about the desired results no matter how long it may take. We must understand that some things take time in order to manifest and our intentions play a major factor in the results we get.
