Chapter One

Nurture great thoughts, for you will never go higher than your thoughts. -– Benjamin Disraeli

The "Law of Attraction" is one of the oldest concepts in the world. Rhonda Byrne became widely known after her book and DVD The Secret was introduced on the Oprah Winfrey show in January of 2006. It made this amazing concept a household conversation.

However, this concept has long been considered as new age teaching by many religious experts and others who would rather not investigate whether it exists as something that God has provided for us or not. Ms. Byrne read hundreds of books and researched back as far as 3500 B.C. before she began to film the movie and to bring this information to a wide audience. What she had found was that this concept was extremely old and well documented and should not be ignored.

The immortal Buddha was one of the first to introduce man to the law of attraction. He said, "What you have become is what you have thought." This is a principle that the people of the East have been well acquainted with for centuries before it started to sweep into the western hemisphere. I will speak more on this principle in the chapter "As a Man Thinketh."

Many theorists believe that the universe is governed by a set of universal laws; these laws cannot be changed or broken and apply to every individual, regardless of age or nationality. These laws guide our lives from beginning to end. The Law of Attraction is one of seven that are known as "The Laws of the Universe." The other six are:

1. The Law of Relativity states that nothing is what it is until you relate it to something. Have you heard the phrase "It could be worse"? By relating "it" to something good or bad, you have given something its place in the universe.

2. The Law of Cause and Effect states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

3. The Law of Polarity states that everything has an opposite: Hot-Cold, Light-Dark, Up-Down, GoodBad, Positive-Negative.

4. The Law of Rhythm states that everything has a natural cycle. The tides go in and back out, night follows day, and life regenerates itself. We all have good times and bad times, but nothing stays the same.

5. The Law of Gestation states that everything takes time Christianity, The Law of Attraction and The One Command to manifest. All things have a beginning and grow into form as more energy is added to them.

6. The Law of Transmutation states that energy moves in and out of physical form (ice, water, steam). Your thoughts are creative energy. The more you focus your thinking on what you want, the more you harness your creative power to move that energy into results in your life.

Definition

What is the definition of "The Law of Attraction"? It is getting everything you want out of life through the power of your own mind. In other words, your thoughts are what determine what you are destined to do or have.

Imagine for a moment that you have in your possession a force that gives you complete and total power over everything. You are able to command the sun to rise and then to set. The force you possess allows you to control the ebb and flow of ocean tides and what direction the wind blows. You can even command where rain falls or where there is to be drought.

If you had this type of total control, what would you do? Would you be benevolent and merciful, using your power to help people achieve their ultimate potential, or would you become a tyrant and control everything for your own gain? What would you really do?

Of course, I am only using your imagination, because you currently do not have this kind of control. However what if you had the power to determine the course of your own life? What if you could accomplish great things and gain great riches by using the power of your own mind? If I told you that you currently possess the power to change the course of the rest of your life to whatever path you choose, what would you really do?

Every person holds in their mind the power to shape the events of their life to achieve whatever end they see fit. This power is what is known as the Law of Attraction. As Joseph Murphy explains, "The Law of Attraction attracts to you everything you need, according to the nature of your thoughts. Your environment and financial condition are the perfect reflection of your habitual thinking."

Going back to the teachings of Buddha, the idea of karma may have initially been rooted in the Law of Attraction. Karma says that you will eventually be revisited by that which you have sent out into the universe. The phrase "What goes around, comes around," is based on the concept of Karma. If you have practiced kindness and compassion, you will receive in it in turn. If you have been deliberately cruel to another, you will receive back into your life that cruelty which you have sent out. Your actions and thoughts morph into physical responses, causing the universe to react in kind.

Job 4:8: "As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it."

Early in the 20th century, the Law of Attraction began to become popular because people started to appreciate the power of positive thinking. They began to learn more and apply it to their lives. How did this concept make a resurgence during this time? A gentleman by the name of William Walker Atkinson, the editor of New Thought magazine, published a book called Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World in 1906. Many people looking to improve themselves read it and applied the principles to their lives.

Another book written during this time was The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910. This book was a great influence on me and I have read it many times. Mr. Wattles tells us that thoughts are things. One of his most powerful passages in the book states:

There is a thinking stuff from which...
