The Universal Law Of Attraction

By: Karen Lynch Home | News-and-Society | Relationships


It's a common phenomenon. Almost everyone can relate. You start looking for a new car, something special, something not like anyone else's, something unusual. You pick out what seems to be a unique, unusual choice of a special red car and all of a sudden, there it is-- your red car, the one you thought was only yours. It's on every street corner. It is at every stoplight. You see three of these red cars just driving down the freeway. You never saw these cars before. What happened? How did all of these people get your unique red car at the same time?

Well the fact of the matter is that your brain is seeing the red cars that were always there. Since you picked out this car for yourself, that car has become special for you and now you are noticing what was really there all along.

It's called the Reticular Activation System" or RAS. It is the part of your brain that automatically filters out what is not important to you and brings your attention to things that are important to you. We all have it. Many a Mom will tell you that they can pick out their own child's voice within the chorus of many children's voices. A Mom will be sleeping soundly through noise from many directions and her baby makes a small whimper and she's wide-awake. Our brains automatically filter what is important and what is not important to us.

Basically the Reticular Activation System is how the Law of Attraction works. We get what we focus on; we create what we think about and the RAS system of our brains just helps this process along.

There are so many misconceptions regarding the Law of Attraction. It seems odd that if this is a Universal Law why people tend to argue with it. Nobody argues with gravity. Of course, gravity is not nearly so misunderstood.

The Law of Attraction is not a new concept. It has been with us since ancient times, which only makes sense if it is a Universal Law. It is mentioned in the Bible

For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" Proverbs 23:7
Buddha taught about the Law of Attraction

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become" Buddha 562-483 B.C.

In the early part of the 20th century many books were written about the Law of Attraction, such as As a Man thinketh" by James Allen, The Master Key" by Charles Haanel and one of the most popular books of all time Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.

Yet there are those who still argue and express their disbelief. A common argument is that proponents of the Law of Attraction claim that all they have to do is think their lofty thoughts and all of their dreams come true. This could not be further from the truth. The thoughts create the opportunities and the ideas AND the motivation and inspiration to take the ACTION to make it come true.

The Joy in creating comes from developing and dreaming in your own mind but a large part of the FUN of creating comes from the Action taken. Not many achievers are content to sit on the beach and dream of success. There is no fun and there is no challenge in that. It's a joy to dream the dream, to be attracted to the way and to take the action to make your dreams come true. Sitting on the beach daydreaming may be fun for an hour or two but how boring to live a life like that. Taking action to create your dreams is where the fun and joy in creating comes, not just from the dreams in your own mind.

So Dream the Dream and your RAS will take over and you will be inspired and guided on the right action to take. Take the Action and the Law of Attraction will bring your dream to you.
