The Law of Attraction Part 2 - Its No Secret Self Help Articles | September 20 Cheap Detroit Lions Jerseys , 2007
Today I want to take on the idea that the Law of Attraction has been some big secret throughout the ages and only known by a few select people. I knew that wasn't so. To prove it I did a simple thing and went to my own personal library at home. I examined a number of my books looking for references to the Law of Attraction. I was amazed at what I found. If the Law of Attraction was a secret it certainly was one of the poorest kept secrets I have encountered.
What follows?are a sampling of the books I came across in my library that referenced the Law of Attraction either directly or indirectly. I put them in chronological order starting with the Holy Bible. Along with the book information I included the actual reference from the book. Read them and see what you think. I think you must come to at least two conclusions-first that the Law of Attraction is not and has never been a secret and second that there must be something to it for this many people to write about it.

The Holy BibleKing James Version
"For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Gal. 6:7)
"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Prov. 23:7)
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." (Mark 11:23)
As A Man ThinkethJames AllenPublished 1902
Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there Cheap Lions Jerseys , and in the arrangement of this life there is no element of chance, but all is the result of a law which cannot err.
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbours; that which it loves, and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its cherished aspirations; it falls to the level of its unchastened desires-and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.
This Mystical Life of OursRalph Waldo Trine1907, George Bell & Son
If one holds himself in the thought of poverty, he will be poor, and the chances are that he will remain in poverty. If he holds himself, whatever present conditions may be Wholesale Da'Shawn Hand Jersey , continually in the thought of prosperity, he sets into operation forces that will sooner or later bring him into prosperous conditions. The law of attraction works unceasingly throughout the universe, and the one great and never changing fact in connection with it is, as we have found, that like attracts like. If we are one with this Infinite Power, this source of all things, then in the degree that we live in the realization of this oneness Wholesale Tracy Walker Jersey , in that degree do we actualize in our selves a power that will bring to us an abundance of all things that it is desirable for us to have.

The picture of your desires, held with faith and purpose, is taken up by the Formless, and permeates it to great distances-throughout the universe, for all I know. As this impression spreads Wholesale Kerryon Johnson Jersey , all things are set moving toward its realization; every living thing, every inanimate thing, and the things yet uncreated, are stirred toward bringing into being that which you want. All force begins to be exerted in that direction; all things begin to move toward you. The minds of people, everywhere, are influenced toward doing the things necessary to the fulfilling of your desires; and they work for you, unconsciously.
Nature is a great one-price storekeeper who hands us out what we ask for if we pay the price. Our thoughts are like roots which reach out in every direction into the cosmic ocean of formless energy, and these thought-roots set in motion vibrations like themselves and attract the affinities of our desires and ambitions.
There is a tremendous creative, producing power in the perpetual focusing of the mind along the line of the desire, the ambition. It develops a marvelous power to attract, to create the thing for which we long.

But we shall find that there is a vast difference between simply thinking, and directing our thought consciously, systematically and constructively; when we do this we place our mind in harmony with Universal Mind, we come in tune with the Infinite, we set in operation the mightiest force in existence, the creative power of the Universal Mind. This, as everything else Wholesale Jalen Reeves-Maybin Jersey , is governed by natural law, and this law is the "Law of Attraction," which is that Mind is creative, and will automatically correlate with its object and bring it into manifestation.
Within You is the PowerHenry Thomas HamblinPublished early 1920s
IT is a metaphysical truth that the outward life is a reflection of the thought life. Our life is affected by our habit of thinking and attitude of mind, in two ways: first, all our actions are unconsciously influenced by our thoughts, thus helping to bring into manifestation Wholesale Teez Tabor Jersey , or attracting to us, an environment that corresponds to our thoughts. Secondly, we discharge or emit an influence, silent and invisible, that no doubt affects other people. They are probably not aware of it, but they are either repelled or attracted by this silent influence.?
