Does the law of attraction only work to a certain extent?
I think it would be incredible to believe in the law of attraction or anything similar, but isn't it kind of flawed? If the law of attraction was as easy as it sounds, wouldn't we all have attracted a lottery win?
Most people consider that the only power they have, to obtain what they want or need, is either blind luck or continuous prayer. The Law of Attraction is a form of communication between you and the universe and an understanding that there is something 'out there' with more intelligence, resources and knowledge than we possess…and that intelligence is willing to help us obtain what we ask for. What most people fail to recognize is that we also need to do the work. Speaking for only myself, I generally make the request to my guides but that is only the start and where most people lose faith, because of the lack of return. It is imperative that you actually visualize what you want or need, imagine yourself with it already in your life and emit the emotional energy that you would actually feel. It is also highly suggested that you realize making the simple request and visualizing the positive outcome is not a one-time thing. Basic to many forms of magic and their varied disciplines is the notion of: "As above, so below." What this means is that for anything to transpire in the physical world, it must first take form and shape in the realm of spirit. Depending on your urgency, you need to regularly take a moment (a few times a day is a minmum) and actually visualize….and you need to continue to feed it emotional energy. Many people consider that task complete once they asked their god and assume his hand will reach down and magically knit the solution for them. I'm not disparaging religion or faith in the Divine. Another aspect that keeps people from getting results is the time factor. Many times, I have asked for small things (a few extra dollars for lunch when it was close to payday as an example) and have included a time limit. That isn't always feasible for the universe to take care of in a very short space of time. Consider the number of variables involved in a person actually winning a lottery or suddenly obtaining a large sum of money. There is a LOT going on behind the scenes as the universe does its best to supply us from its unlimited wealth. In answer to your question, though, it is a very effective method of obtaining what we need and is quite easy to do with minimal skills but there is some work involved and most don't understand that aspect. I have found this extremely beneficial for short-term (up to 6 months or so) manifestations but shy from anything long-term. Because of how much change we undergo, even in the space of a short year, what seemed imperative to own or have during one month may be viewed quite differently a year later. And our needs change as well. It comes down to the old saying, "You don't get nothing for nothing." If one is not willing to make an effort and tend to their request like a gardener and his favorite plants, one will have great difficulty with manifesting the life of their dreams. An associated approach that has been immensely beneficial for me is in the use of sacred signs to determine a course of action that is in my greatest and highest good. It is also a form of communication, requesting a specific sign from your guides, in a specific period of time. I never use the Law of Attraction until I have ensured that what I want is beneficial to me and my ability to help others and fulfill my purpose. It is easy to do, but one has to be willing to do the work.
