Many people have had not so great results with the Law of Attraction.

Meaning they do the  meditations, do the visualizations, and wonder why it isn’t working.

Don’t get me wrong, the Law of Attraction is a powerful universal force, but it’s most often misunderstood.

Firstly, it’s a metaphor for how things work. We humans have brains that are hard wired to only understand the most simple things. Anything beyond a simple “cause and effect” relationship between objects is beyond our comprehension.

Think of chess masters. They need to think several moves ahead, meaning they need to be able to predict the potential movements of each of their movements in the future. Say they have three potential moves. Each one of these three potential moves can be met by three from the opponent. That’s NINE potential changes in the chess board from three moves.

Two moves out, and he’s got to imagine 27 moves. Three moves out, and he’s got to imagine 81 moves. At only three moves out, he’s stretching the limits of conscious thought.

This is in a system (chess) where the moves are very well defined, and constricted.

In real life, there’s about a billion more outcomes from each move. Even if we tried to think two or three moves ahead, it’s WAY beyond our conscious comprehension.

This is the first stumbling block to the Law of Attraction. We think we need to “understand” how it’s going to work.

Clearly, unless you’re doing something simple like buying an ice cream cone, there’s NECESSARILY going to be about a BILLION potential things between where you are and where you want to be.

So TRUSTING  your unconscious is crucial. Expecting immediate and easy to understand results will only make you frustrated.

The second thing people have trouble understanding is this thing called “The Universe.”

As the LOA goes, if you “put out” a certain kind of energy, you’ll “get back” like energy.

But what exactly IS “The Universe?”

All the stars and planets out there spinning around? Some kind of metaphysical dust that nobody can see?

Nope.

“The Universe,” as it’s metaphorically used in the LOA, is always and only OTHER PEOPLE.

Everything that exists that’s NOT HERE NATURALLY ( I mean things other than trees or rocks or dirt) was made by OTHER PEOPLE.

And chances are, whatever it is you want, is going to made by OTHER PEOPLE.

Or at the very least, OTHER PEOPLE are going to be involved.

And since EVERY SINGLE PERSON who ever lived has something called “Free Will,” in order to get the cooperation of OTHER PEOPLE,  you’re going to need to talk to them in a way that will make them WANT to help you GET WHAT YOU WANT.
