The Law of Attraction and Why It Doesn't Deliver

by Urbain Beck

It seems so easy: Ask, expect, and receive.

Some people swear that the Law of Attraction works. Others repeatedly try and have nothing but apparent failure. Without seeing any progress, they can't help but wonder if 'the Law of Attraction' is a bunch of bull.

There are some very good reasons why the Law of Attraction appears to fail.

Impatience Thwarts the Law of Attraction

One explanation why the Law of Attraction may not seem to work is that you might be expecting immediate manifestation of your desires and wishes. You have to realize that you are simply sending out positive energy surrounding a subject. You must have faith that Law of Attraction will send it back to you in its time.

What you're requesting is usually something good that you're excited to receive, like a lump sum of cash to pay an outstanding bill. You may find that you are nervously pacing the floor and asking when it is going to appear. If you do, it may mean that you do not trust that anything is going to come. You are just testing the waters and not willing to commit to a positive thinking routine.

The Universe Is Not Limited

You might also be expecting the answer to your demands to arrive by a certain method. For example, you might ask for cash. You are hoping that a relative suddenly has the urge to just give you a bunch of cash. This may be your conception of the Law of Attraction. However, if you are alert to your thoughts or to messages that make their way to you, you may come across another means of delivery. An idea might be revealed to you that would be a source for the money you want. Following up on the inspired idea might involve some effort, but the end result would be the same ... the financial abundance you wanted. If your outlook is positive, you will look upon this circumstance with gratitude and joy. By the Law of Attraction, acting on an inspired idea can only enhance the good in your life.

Not Giving the Universe a Chance

Another error people make in practicing the Law of Attraction is placing too much emphasis on the current reality they see. When they see things that seem to prove that the Law of Attraction is not working, they quit believing. They get frustrated and their thoughts turn negative. This negativity will bring more of the same.

The fact of the matter is that if people genuinely understand the Law of Attraction and the science behind it, what appears to be going on in current 'reality' will have little influence on them. This is because they will have total belief and trust that the Law of Attraction has been operating all along. What is happening in the beginning is only a manifestation of earlier bad energy.

Masters of the Law of Attraction realize that their new positive, focused thoughts will undoubtedly come to being.

Limiting Belief Systems

Deeply held beliefs instilled in us since childhood may be limiting our experience with the Law of Attraction Many have strong feelings about things they consider to be too difficult to overcome or too big to have.

Much of this may be attributable to past experiences and upbringing. If, during your entire youth, you were constantly told that wealthy people are disfavored by God, it creates a paradox when practicing the Law of Attraction to create abundance. For instance, you might intend to manifest financial abundance using the Law of Attraction but on a subconscious level, you are rejecting any wealth that may come your way because you do not want to be a bad person.

These emotions tend to cloud the energy you are sending out. There are ways to release these deep emotions, such as the release technique or Sedona method. These methods allow the person to fully use the Law of Attraction. 'Mind Movies' are an exciting new resource that can be easily used to reprogram the subconscious mind (see http://www.achieve-your-destiny.com for details). People's experiences from Mind Movies have been outstanding.

You really can have what you want, if properly using the Law of Attraction. It can be easy once you change the way you feel and think about things. If you can come to understand the Law of Attraction fully, you can witness fantastic results through the Law of Attraction.
