Law of attraction.
To desire is to expect, to expect is to achieve.
The mind is a magnet and attracts whatever corresponds to its ruling state.
Whatever we image in mind, whatever we expect and think about, will tend to bring
into our lives the things and conditions that are in harmony therewith.
Science has convincingly proven the existence and constant
operation of the Law of mental attraction.
For this reason everyone should be doubly careful about how and what he
thinks.
Our predominant mental attitude is the primary cause of most everything that
comes into our lives, and the sooner we realize this truth, the sooner we shall begin to
improve our lives and progress.
We must seek to become imbued with the desire to advance, and give the Law a
chance to help us.
Everything will then work toward our aid.
Obstacles will strengthen our resolve to win.
Discouragement from others will only serve to strengthen and to
arouse us to a stronger activity.
We will see more clearly and understand more fully
that every difficulty is an opportunity to advance, every stumbling block is a stepping
stone to success.
Our so-called burdens will lose their heaviness because the Spirit
within us is unconquerable, and when invoked by desire and aspiration will unfailingly
come forth in greater power and richer intelligence.
This will guide our thoughts and actions into those pathways that lead to the
heights of conquest.
The Law of mental attraction acts along the same lines as the law of gravity; it is
as definite and as accurate.
You have heard the Law expressed in such statements as
"Birds of a feather flock together" or "Like attracts like" or, "Things equal
to the same thing are equal to each other."
The thoughts and the actions of people draw to them
people of their own type and kind.
It's difficult to tell one just where he may fail to
attract his needs, as no two people think alike and therefore no two people make the
same mistakes.
Application is the test of adequacy, as knowledge is of little or no value unless it
can be used to practical ends.
Here is a simple method in the beginning for using the
power of mind to increase the amount of good in our lives in conformity with the Law.
Form a clear and well-defined mental picture of what you want.
Do not specify its particular form or how it shall come, but
simply desire firmly and gently the greatest amount of good in that direction.
Avoid a tensed state of mind or any condition of strain
or anxiety.
It's better to do your mind-picturing in odd moments when in quiet and
restful conditions.
Let the idea or plan of good unfold into a vivid mental picture, much
the same as though it were a moving picture upon a screen.
Do not force the thought, as pressure causes congestion and confusion.
The calmer and more peaceful you are, the better the results.
The main thing is to hold the thought.
Then proceed to nourish your desire or want with a calm, confident
conviction that what you seek will come.
As you persist in this state of mind, the good
desired will tend to gravitate towards you.
It may come almost at once as in respect to little
things of less consequence, like an invitation, a book, or meeting a friend on
the street, or it may come by degrees over a
period of time, according to the clearness and strength of your demand and the
particular form of good desired.
In the meantime, be reasonable and practical, and do
what you can to promote its coming.
I have little confidence in the Lord answering the
one who rocks in an easy chair and waits for the desired thing to be placed on his lap.
Somewhere it says the Lord helps them that help themselves.
Yes, action spells results.
This supplements your mental creative process and provides the channel for its
expression.
Then leave the results to the Law.
As you do your part, the Law will do the rest.
How well or how accurately you cooperate with the Law determines the duration of
time apparently required to bring forth your supply.
Time is a period created by man; Nature knows no time and always responds in
the present, in the now.
In some instances, results that seem almost magical will appear.
Often where there has been a deep, longing desire for
a particular good with no expectation of its realization, the addition of "action"
will finish the process with the happiest results.
In fact, you are always on the right side of
the Law when you combine the two essentials of "desire" and "expectation."
You operate a hidden intelligence that puts you in touch
with the actual ways and means of materializing your desires.
The principle underlying this process of attraction is as sound and
as demonstrable as any principle in the science of mathematics.
We all employ it every day, more or less, but usually
unconsciously, and therefore imperfectly.
Finally, do not desire or demand what rightfully belongs to another, in the sense
that such a one would suffer by deprivation.
Only desire that which will round out your life to make it fuller and happier, and also
that which will enable you to help others into
better and happier conditions.
Aim to be normal in your demands, and use the
intelligence with which God has endowed you in discriminating between rational and
irrational demands.
The innate desire of your being is for Harmony, Satisfaction, and
Plenty.
These conditions will be obtained more and more in your life as you live in
accordance with the Law, and constantly expect a continuous increase of Good as an
evidence of your growing faith in the wisdom and all-sufficiency of the great Source of
All Good.
The first step to take is called interest.
Interest is paying special attention to some object or thing.
It's being definitely concerned about someone or
something.
Interest is tending to see in the outer world what is already existent in one's
mind.
Things you think of that give you joy, pleasure, wisdom and satisfaction are
interests.
Our interests are largely individual because we do not think alike; one person
may find interest in some things that another would fail to see.
Recently my wife and I went out exploring along a dried up river
bed on the desert.
She was especially interested in collecting bright stones containing
gold, silver, copper, and iron that are commonly found in this country.
I, in turn, was looking for gourds that I knew would
grow wild where there had been moisture.
There we were together, she walking about picking up these rare
stones, and I looking around for the vines that held the gourds.
I didn't even see the stones, and I am sure she didn't see many
of the gourds.
Both walking together, yet we were seeing differently because we were looking
for different things.
We see in life that which interests us the most and pass blindly
by that which is of little or no interest.
It is here in this simple practice that many of
us may be making our mistakes.
We may be so interested in things that are not prosperous,
joyful, and healthy that we pass by the very things we desire most and overlook the
means of our health and prosperity.
With our interest so engrossed in seeing the lesser,
either through habit or ignorance, we fail to attract the greater things that are all
around us.
A young man came to me one day asking what he could do to increase his
income - he was dissatisfied with a meager earning.
I learned that he was an electrician.
His work occupied several hours a day.
He liked his home, enjoyed his garden, his newspapers, and occasionally stepped
out socially.
I thought he was getting well paid for his efforts and told him so.
I added that if he wanted more earnings he would need to stimulate his interests and
be deserving of it.
God feeds the birds and supplies an abundance of food, but He does
not put the worms into the bird's mouth.
The bird must at least go out and search for the food.
So it is with all of us, we must do something about it more than wishing or praying.
He decided then that he would increase his capacity as an electrician, so he went
to a class at night school and laid aside his newspapers for books and other material.
He became interested in radio, and was enthusiastic about its possibilities.
This interest drew him into new circles and landed him a
position with a growing radio company.
In a very short time he had found a new pleasure
and tripled his meager earnings.
No one is to be blamed for the dissatisfied life but
the man himself, because he failed to expand his interests with his desires.
It is so easy for people to allow themselves to get into a rut, and it is always a
mental rut before it becomes a material one.
People drift along unknowingly, unconsciously, and aimlessly into unhappiness
and blindness.
A very lovely person came to me with a problem, the like of which
has caused many a woman to give up and lose the very thing she wants most.
This woman had a nice home, a well-providing husband, many servants, and two fine sons
to be proud of.
But, with all that, she was most unhappy.
When her boys were growing up she devoted all her time to their
training and care.
Now they had married and were making their own homes.
While she was so tied at home her husband was becoming
a successful man, and this took him out to his clubs and made new friends of other
women as well as men.
He was quite occupied with his interests; he came home
at nights, but most of his weekends were spent elsewhere.
Here she was with a big house and servants, plenty of money, but no
love or happiness.
She realized the breach was widening, and knowing that soon her
husband would want a divorce, she was forced to seek a way out.
After a lengthy analysis, I learned that she had a spark of interest left in art and
literature, so recommended that she take a trip abroad for the summer to see new
sights and to plan a busy winter with new studies.
She returned feeling refreshed and anxious to begin the work.
She joined a literary club and liked it.
Gradually she worked into some small dramatic parts until one day
her interest burst out into a flaming desire to go further with the work.
Home, servants, loneliness, all receded with the new
ambition.
In short, she advanced into radio work and has been very successful.
Her sons are proud of her achievement, her husband
has become almost jealous with his attentions, and her happiness is supreme.
You see, one must keep up some interest.
One must keep his mind active and keen in order to avoid losing one's attractiveness
and satisfaction.
Our highest interests should govern our thoughts and not the material
things.
The material things are only the means through which we express our interests.
A strong magnetic power is founded upon a strong idea or principle.
This idea or principle directs our interests, and this in
turn develops an inner power of attractiveness.
A young woman, whom I know very well and shall always prize as a friend, is
not a beautiful girl as far as beauty goes, but she is most attractive.
She has a wide circle of friends and verily charms them wherever
she goes.
When asked one time what it was she possessed that seemed to cast a
spell over her admirers, she said, "I can't accredit it to my physique, nor to my brand
of cosmetics, but I believe it is because I
love frankness, truth and a pure mind."
Innumerable examples can be told of men and women who have attained success and fame because
they have loved and lived some principle of good.
To live such a principle and to follow it with interest will, according to
the LAW, always attract good.
The underlying law that regulates supply in the world of effects has two important
phases, one is "desire" and the other "expectation."
These mental attitudes represent lines of attractive force, the former being
the positive phase of the law and the latter the negative phase, while phases must be complied
with to obtain the best and greatest results.
The first phase of desire embraces a positive process of attraction; that is,
when an individual earnestly desires a thing he sets up a line of force that connects him
with the invisible side of the good desired.
Should he weaken or change in his desire, that particular line of force is disconnected
or misses its goal; but if he remains constant in his desire or ambition the good
demanded is sooner or later realized in part or in entirety.
The principle involved is that you cannot long or yearn for anything
unless it already exists, if not in form, then in substance; and desire is the motive
power for calling it forth into visible appearance or physical effect.
It is no use to desire a thing unless you expect to get it, either in part or in full.
Desire without expectation is idle wishing or dreaming.
You simply waste much valuable mental energy in doing this.
Desire will put you in touch with the inner world of causes,
and connect you by invisible means with the substance of the thing desired; then,
continuous expectation is necessary to bring it into a reality in your life.
Much like the pull of gravitation in the physical realm,
expectation is a drawing force of the mind which acts in the invisible realm.
We all know that many persons desire good things which they never expect nor
make any real effort to grasp.
They start out well and may get halfway, but not any
further.
When they learn to comply with the other half of the process involved and learn
to expect what they desire, most of their dreams or wishes will steadily materialize.
Again, we meet people who expect things they do not want, but which often come.
This proves that expectation is a powerful attractive
force.
Never expect a thing you do not want, and never desire a thing you do not
expect.
When you expect something you do not want, you attract the undesirable, and
when you desire a thing that is not expected, you simply dissipate valuable mental force.
On the other hand, when you constantly expect that which you persistently desire,
your ability to attract becomes irresistible.
Desire connects you with the thing desired and expectation draws it into your life.
This is the Law.
Should you be oppressed by poverty, hardship, limitation, or lack of any kind,
begin now to operate this Law of mind and gradually command more and more of the
Good in the form of better things and improved conditions.
It is your right to be happy and free.
We should seek, therefore, to learn more of the unseen laws of mental
creation and the marvelous possibilities dormant within our beings.
Nature does not deprive us of any good and desirable thing,
but has provided us with the mental equipment and inner power to acquire and enjoy
all the essential good to insure a happy and worthwhile existence.
