For nearly 5 years a concept that was originally used by a clairvoyant
seer who lived in the mid-1800’s to describe his understanding of the
soul’s journey after death – Law of Attraction – has been bastardized
and morphed into a popular cliché used to describe everything good that
occurs in your life and everything negative that happens in your life.

Rubbish.

I
will give credit where I believe credit is due. I will be forever
grateful that the DVD that popularized the term was successful in
exposing the greatest single number of people to the concept that their
moment-by-moment thoughts – acknowledged and unacknowledged – have an
effect on the actions of their lives. I have worked with the concept
that thoughts impact life satisfaction for decades. I have not
succeeded in getting that message to as many people over all those
years in the way that DVD did in less than one year. And now is the
time for the real work to begin.

The Law of Attraction as
explained in popular media goes like this: You have thoughts, those
thoughts become things – good or bad. Net, net your thinking attracts
to you good things if you think good things and bad things if you think
bad things.

For the record that is more responsibility for my life that I can mange to handle!

I have come to favor the interpretation of Richard Rohr , who I paraphrase:

• You create your response to all things that occur.
• Your response is your reality.
• Therefore you create your reality…or attract how and what is in your life by how you respond to all things in your life.

Your thoughts. Your response. Your reality. Your Law of Attraction.
