We are amazing BEINGS! As more and more people discover information about the Law of Attraction (LOA) and seek to understand it, more and more people people become discouraged.
.
I certainly don’t have any magical answers. What I do have is an exhilaration for learning the ‘Game’ and a certain thrill at putting the pieces together as I discover them… seeing how the picture and my understanding change as I play at being who I AM within my brilliant bubble of biology — that whole blending the Spiritual and the Physical… experimenting along the way of this thrilling journey.
.
I sometimes notice that being discouraged kind of takes the thrill away. That inspires me to explain my understanding in the hope that my sense of thrill may weave it’s way through the despair and infect the despairing one. LOL… makes me sound a bit like a disease. It’s my hope and my intention to be a welcomed one. So it’s in that spirit that I share my comment to a somewhat discouraged fellow traveler.
.

I have been doubting over the last month or so if the Law of Attraction is real or a hoax.

The things that have lead me to post this are as follows:

1. After doing everything prescribed on a particular DVD to attract wealth, my financial situation has actualy deteriorated. This was the instigator.

2. The teachers of this DVD seem to be offering products and seminars (at somtimes exsorbitent prices) promising to give you tips and stratagies for improving finances (hmmm….. I thought that was what the DVD was for……. I guess not)!!!!!! Now I should mention that I am thinking of only one of these teachers and they were charging something like $2000 for the seminar. This was about a year ago though.

3. A while ago I posted a topic asking for anyone who has created large amounts of wealth from using the Law of Attraction to reply and prehaps offer some sugestions. Whilst I did get responses, there were NONE from people who had created large amounts of wealth.

4. I have attempted to contact some of the teachers over the past 10 months with absolutley no reply whatsoever.

Now, I will admit in my life there are some things that have improved, such as my living arrangements and I’m now in a permanent relationship, but because I have seen no improvements in my finances, have had no ideas about how to make money come to me or no great job offers over the past 2 1/2 years, I am wondering if this is in fact a hoax with the real money being made off people like us, who watch The Secret and then get told that in order to make money for example, we have to go to a seminar or by a book or cd by them.

This may on some levels sound nasty but I do have to ask the question and maybe get some feedback from all of you.

It is my greatest hope that my argument here is ‘blown out of the water’ because I have put my heart and soul into this but am now feeling ‘cheated’ on some levels

Your question is understandable. On the other hand… because of LOA’s very nature and workings… it tells you YOU are a VERY POWERFUL CREATOR… and because, indeed, you are… you have created something of a conundrum for yourself.
*
Now that said… I’ll share something you may not want to hear. You said ==>Don’t get me wrong, I have followed the advise with absolute belief but after 2 years, now that I’m filling out bankruptcy forms, you do questions the validity of all this. I’m just hoping that there is someone on this site that has been able to create the wealth that I have been visualizing and feeling.
*
And I say… as evidenced by your questions and the ’story’ you’ve been telling yourself as described in the above listed points you make… YOU do/did NOT have absolute belief… or perhaps a better way to say it would be…
*
You did NOT have an absolute appreciation for the experience of flowing an abundance of money to yourself!
*
You were not… and are not YET… vibrationally aligned with FLOWING AN ABUNDANCE OF MONEY to/through yourself.
*
Your vibration is predominantly focused on your FEAR of money… on your NEED for money… on your FEAR of not having enough money…
*
To attract it you’ve GOT to be a vibrational match to it! And here’s a news flash… your body and your emotions are power tools for guiding you into the vibration that will match.
*
Based on what you are pointing out above… I can say with some great certainty that even if you have read Ask and It Is Given you have NOT put the processes in the second part of the book into any kind of consistent practice.
*
This stuff requires some deep commitment… along with a sincere willingness to tell the truth to yourself about yourself… and that’s truly tough for most people to do. It all can sound so easy… yet look around yourself and at yourself and tell me how many people you know who are truly, sincerely, deeply committed to FEELING GOOD NO MATTER WHAT.
*
No matter the figure on your bank balance
No matter the state of your health or that of your loved ones
No matter the weather
No matter the behavior of those around you
No matter the current job situation
No matter what!
*
And NO! It’s not about feeling ‘glee’ all the time… it’s about being committed to feeling good and choosing, when you catch your vibration dropping… to stop in your tracks immediately and reach for a slightly better feeling. Because an abundant flow of money sits at a high vibration… and unless you can, with consistency, maintain that vibration by holding your focus on that level of appreciation… you simply aren’t going to be a match for it and it won’t show up on your radar.
*
When there’s a knot in your belly, you’re tuned to a different station
When there’s despondency and hopelessness, you’re tuned to a different station
When there’s a constant nagging headache, you’re tuned to a different station
When you’re lashing out at everyone and everything, you’re tuned to a different station
*
catch the drift?
*
When you start paying attention to how you feel… and you get yourself aligned with the commitment to feel better and focus on things you appreciate… and you practice holding that appreciation through small segments of the day… and practice it, and practice it… extending the periods of time where you’re appreciating and minimizing the periods of time where you’re not… THEN you start drawing better things toward you.
*
It may only start as a dribble…. yet think about this. When you find a penny on the street or in a parking lot… do you pick it up with a big smile and feeling of appreciation that you’ve just received MORE MONEY…
*
or do you fail to even notice the pennies… or walk right by them like they were worthless? If you don’t appreciate the pennies why would you expect the Universe to deliver more?
*
When you start to practice appreciating you start raising your vibration. And it becomes easier and easier to catch it when it starts to dip… and then it’s your job to PIVOT… there are many tools and tips to help you make the pivot to reaching for a better feeling but I promise you don’t really have to ever BUY ANYTHING.
*
The only thing really required is that YOU become a MATCH to your desire… and that can be had by increasing the moments each day that you spend appreciating anything.
*
And YES! It has worked for me!
*
The video below that I just discovered says it even better ENJOY!
