The Law of Attraction Exposed: Why People Don't Get What They Want

It appears so easy: Ask, expect, and receive.

Some people insist that the Law of Attraction is 'real' and it indeed works. Others try the Law of Attraction and have no success. Without meaningful results, they wonder if 'the Law of Attraction' is a load of nonsense.

There are explanations why people have poor results using the Law of Attraction.

The Belief Is Not There

One explanation why the Law of Attraction may appear to be failing is that you might be wanting your wish list to manifest immediately. You have to realize that you are simply sending out positive energy surrounding a subject. You must trust that the universe will send your positive thoughts back to you in due time.

What you're asking for is usually something good and that is sometimes desperately needed, like a solution to a problem at work. You may find that you are always tapping your foot and asking when it's going to happen. If you do, it may mean that you do not trust that anything is coming. You are just pretending to believe and not willing to commit to believing in the end result.

Limiting the Universe to One Answer or Method

You might also be expecting the manifestation of the Law of Attraction to arrive by a certain method. By way of example, you might ask for money. You are hoping a relative will just give it to you. This may be your idea of the Law of Attraction. However, if you are alert to your thoughts or to messages that make their way to you, you may come across another means of fulfillment of your request. An idea might come to you that would bring you the money you want. Following up on the inspired idea might involve some work, but the end result would be the same ... the finances you asked for. If your energy is positive, you will look upon this circumstance with gratitude and joy. By the Law of Attraction, this can only multiply the good in your life.

Getting Frustrated and Quitting

Another error people make in employing the Law of Attraction is placing too much attention on their perception of the reality around them. When they see things that seem to prove that the Law of Attraction is not working, they quit believing. They get frustrated and their thoughts turn negative. This negativity will bring more of the same.

The fact of the matter is that if people genuinely understand the Law of Attraction and the science behind it, external evidence will have little effect on them. This is because they will have total belief and faith that the Law of Attraction has been working all along. For instance, any negativity that may be occurring today is the result of earlier negative thinking, and this can be turned around with positive thinking.

Masters of the Law of Attraction know that their new positive, focused thoughts will undoubtedly come to being.

Limiting Core Beliefs

Negative or limited beliefs instilled since childhood may be suffocating the good that the Law of Attraction can deliver. Many have deeply ingrained emotions about things they consider to be too much to ask for or have.

Much of this may be attributable to past experiences and upbringing. If, during your entire youth, you were taught that wealthy people are bad people, it creates a paradox when using the Law of Attraction to attract large sums of money. For instance, you may consciously intend to manifest financial abundance using the Law of Attraction but on a deeper, subconscious level, you are rejecting any cash that may come your way because you don't want to be a bad person.

These feelings or subconscious drives have a tendency to cloud the positive energy that you send out using the Law of Attraction. There are ways to release these deep emotions, such as the release technique or Sedona method. These methods permit the person to fully use the Law of Attraction. 'Mind Movies' are a promising new resource that can be easily used to reprogram the subconscious mind (see http://www.achieve-your-destiny.com for details). People's experiences from Mind Movies have been outstanding.

If you properly use the Law of Attraction, you will have what you want. It can be easy once you change the way you feel and think about things. If you can come to clear the limiting thoughts or subconscious conflicts that may be stopping you, you can make the Law of Attraction work.

Shifting Focus: A Technique in the Law of Attraction

When applying the Law of Attraction what you focus on is what it is all about. Think of your focus as a laser beam and whenever you focus on something, whether it is negative or positive, you are sending out a laser beam that directly brings something back to you. So when you focus over and over again on something, you are bringing it directly back to you in some form. If you are focusing on not having enough money or on how much you hate your job, you are sending out your laser beam straight to what you 'don't want' and that will bring it flying back to you.

Attracting What You Want Through the Magic of Autopoiesis and Bringforthism

Autopoeisis is the patterning that can be found inside of all living systems and has to do with how you create your own reality through your individual life experiences; how you manifest what you want both consciously and unconsciously, and how you bringforth reality as you know it through your acts of cognition, language and perception. The term autopoeisis was introduced by Chilean biologists Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela in 1973, and was originally conceived as an attempt to characterize the nature of living systems.
