To use the Law of Attraction, not only do you have to be aware of your predominant thoughts; but you must also build the ability to filter out the unsupportive ones through a shift of mental focus.

As a human being you are blessed with the ability to use your will. And it is your will that allows you to decide what thoughts you give attention.

The following is a Q&A session where I share with you the critical role that your will plays in attracting your desires.

What is the purpose of the will?

First I think it is important to define what is meant by will. In this context, the will is your ability to focus on a particular thought or task regardless of what is going on around you or within you.

Its role in the Law of Attraction is to help you keep your thoughts and actions targeted and consistent.

Why is that important?

It's important because, we are constantly being bombarded by external influences. A large majority of these influences are negative.

When your thoughts and behavior are impacted by negative influences. The signal you send out to the universe changes and derails your efforts to receive what is coming to you from the universe.

That is when your will comes in. To get you back on track to attracting and receiving what it is you want.

What are we suppose to focus our will on?

In your journey to attract what you want. You will become aware of the right things to think and do. You must then use your will to compel yourself to think those right things and do those right things.

It requires effort to keep your thoughts fixed on your desired end result. But the additional challenge is the ability to do that continuously, especially in bad situations and for prolonged periods of time. That effort requires enormous amounts of will.

Does using the will attract the things you want faster?

Instead of faster I think it would be better to say more efficiently. But yes through proper use of your will. You will be more efficient in attracting what you want.

By using your will to filter out negative and unwanted thoughts, your message to the universe will be clearer. By exercising your will continuously you provide the universe with a steady and consistent message.

Both of which allows the universe to answer your desires in a more effective manner.

What would you recommend to develop strong will?

I feel a good place to start would be to ask yourself if you have strong faith and purpose in what it is you want. Application of your will becomes more effective if you do.

I would also tell you to avoid people or materials with any negative and uncomplimentary comments towards your desire(s). Expose yourself to materials that are in harmony with your vision on a daily basis.

And ultimately, your faith in the law itself would be key. That you realize beyond a doubt, regardless of what is going on around you, which is seemingly bad, what you are thinking is being attracted towards you.

As a fan of The Secret you would have been introduced to the Law of Attraction. The universal law that dictates that you attract into your life the pre-dominant thoughts that you hold in your mind.

But you may not be aware there are other laws at work.

These laws work hand in hand with the Law of Attraction and each other to bring about what you want. The following is a description of these other laws and how to apply them in your life.

The Law of Perpetual Transmutation

Shares with us the creative process. That everything in the universe originates from source energy and that it is always moving into physical form.

Be aware that your thoughts or rather the thought images you hold in your mind are powerful. These images are what start and guide the creative process. To begin having the life you want, you must begin by choosing the right images that are aligned with your desires.

The Law of Relativity

When looking at this law you find that nothing is anything until you begin to compare it to something else. There is no big or small, fast or slow, anything and everything, simply just "IS".

To benefit from this law, you need to understand that someone else will always, either do something or have something better than you. You must develop a habit of relating your own situation to something worse. You will inevitably become more grateful and your situation will always look better.

The Law of Vibration

Is the basis for the Law of Attraction. Simply put, your thoughts emit a certain vibration. And as a result you attract situations and outcomes of similar vibration into your life.

Become aware of your thoughts. Use this awareness as a guide to determine what vibration you are sending out to the universe. So whenever you realize you have a bad thought, use your WILL to change it. Think of things that make you feel better and you will become better aligned with what you want.


The Law of Polarity

Declares that there is an equal and opposite thing for everything. There is no up without a down, no left without a right, no inside without an outside. If you were 5 blocks away from your apartment, it would also mean that your apartment was 5 blocks away from you.

So if something bad happened, there is something equally good about it. The situation is what you make of it. The obvious challenge is to view a bad situation from the opposite end. There is always a lesson to be learned from every situation, even a bad one, which can be used very positively. Learn to look for that lesson.

The Law of Rhythm

In short this law shares that life, as with nature, has cycles. You CANNOT feel good all the time. If you did, you wouldn't even realize it. Your low feelings are what allow you to enjoy the high feelings. It is this contrast that gives you the ability to feel desire for greater things in life.

So when you are on a downward cycle, realize that sooner or later you will move into the upward cycle. What is important is to not dwell on the "bad stuff". Choose positive thoughts and have faith.

The Law of Cause and Effect

Simply states that every cause has its effect; and that every effect, its cause. In other words a result cannot occur without a chain of events leading to it and in the same token the outcome of a chain of events will be a result.

You make use of this law by focusing on the CAUSE. By doing so the EFFECT will automatically take care of itself. For example if it is your desire to be healthy, you focus on the events that would lead you to being healthy e.g. Proper diet and exercise.

The Law of Gender

Decrees that your desires require a certain amount of time to elapse before it becomes real. When you have the image of your dream house in your mind. You have initiated the thought process for that house to manifest. The challenge and the habit you must form is patience.

Know that the universe is responding to your thoughts. Energy is always moving into physical form. But what you must also know is that it comes at the right time. You have to continue to put out a consistent and clear thought to the universe.

You have just learnt about The Law of Attraction. You are genuinely really excited because for the first time you see a solution for improving your life and getting what you want.

So you whole-heartedly throw yourself into it. You get yourself a vision board and start visualizing the stuff that you want. Then after a few days or weeks you start to wonder, “Hey wait a minute. Is this working? Where is my stuff? Why isn’t it here yet?”

If you have been experiencing thoughts like this, the following list is a collection of common issues that people fall into when they first begin to use The Law of Attraction.

1. You Are Not Profoundly And Consistently Grateful

Gratitude is perhaps the most important factor in using the Law of Attraction. It is the means of communicating your desires to the universe.

A suggestion I have to help you achieve profound and consistent gratitude is to start a DAILY gratitude journal. In the evenings, just think about your day and simply list down everything you were grateful for.

Reflect upon it, get into that feeling of gratitude and do it EVERYDAY. Your line of communication to the universe will improve.

2. You Are Not Clear On Exactly What You Want

Being unclear by saying “I want my life to be better” or “I want more money” doesn’t work. You must see what you want vividly in your mind.

So lets assume you want more money. Write down a note with A) The details of the “more money”, the exact amount, type of money, currency. B) The date when you want to receive the money. C) What value you are giving in return for that money. D) Put it in the present tense and have “I am so happy and grateful now that” before it.

Looking like – I am so happy and grateful now that I receive an additional US$1,500 of rental income per month, which was first received on the 1st of August 2007, for renting out my studio apartment on Chester Street.

3. You’re Using The Law With A “I Will Give It A Try” Attitude

It is important to understand why you are feeling this way. For the most part I think it is because people are fearful. That if it doesn’t work, you are able to rationalize why. Which in this case would be “Hey I didn’t really try, that’s why it didn’t work”.

Build up your faith by better understanding how the Law of Attraction works. You can also read testimonials of others using the law successfully. Better understanding will move you forward more confidently.

4. You Have Some Old Baggage

When you begin to use the law you will experience different degrees of mental friction. This is normal because it takes time to adopt new thought patterns.

Immerse yourself in materials on the law. Read books on the topic. Listen to relevant audio CDs. Watch DVDs about the Law of Attraction. Then start by attracting things that cause you less mental friction. Once you begin to habituate improved thought patterns and your confidence grows, attraction becomes easier.

5. You Want It So, So Bad

You don’t want to become so “INTO” getting the “Thing” that you want, that you become desperate and frustrated in the process. The attraction of what you want is supposed to be a wonderful and joyous experience.

Put your thoughts of what you want out there. Then remember to be calm and relaxed. Your state of mind should be similar to that of being in love. You can’t see it or touch it. But you can feel it and you know it’s there.

6. You Are Taking The Wrong Kind Of Action

The wrong kind of action is where you are forcing an action to move forward. By forcing it you are showing a lack of faith in the law. Don’t rush it. Whatever you want is coming to you always. And it will come at the right time for you.

The correct type of action will feel right to you. It is as if a “Light Bulb” went off and you just had that “Eureka” moment. It will feel quite natural and effortless. Follow your intuition towards the correct action required.

7, 8, & 9. You Forgot To Be Grateful

Yup, gratitude is pretty important. And deserves 3 spots on the list as a reminder because it is common to be so caught up during the day to forget to be grateful sometimes.

One exercise you can do at any time is just focus on an item in your immediate surrounding. Say you are in your car and you focus on the traffic light. Mentally just list how grateful you are about it, “It keeps traffic in order, it helps keeps me safe”. Then jump to another item and do the same, say the road, “it helps me get to destinations, I get to where I want faster” etc.

This knock-on gratitude affect really lifts your spirits. And you will be surprised at what you will be grateful about.

10. You Are Not Enjoying The Journey

Whatever time it takes to attract what you want there will be a journey. It will hold good, great, bad and maybe even really bad times. But what is important overall is that you enjoy the journey.

It is easy enough to enjoy the good times. But how do you appreciate the bad times. First understand without the bad times you would not be able to recognize and/or appreciate the good times. So they are necessary.

Realize a bad thing can also lead you forward. Say to yourself “ok bad thing, what are you here to teach me?” Identify that lesson, learn from it and move on. When you do, you move forward as a stronger individual and most definitely a step closer to what you want. And that is something to be happy about.

This is a great post from Erin Pavlina.

I feel there is a certain amount of specifics that is required in order to attract what you want. It is so that the universe knows what to deliver to you.

But she brings up a very good point that you cannot be specific about a) a person's actions i.e. to attract someone specific. This is because they have their own intentions. And b) how the universe is going to deliver what you want to you, so be open.

Read her post:

I frequently receive emails from people who want to attract specific people into their lives. Recently, someone wrote to me wanting to attract an ex-boyfriend back into her life. She felt they were meant to be together and she wanted to use the law of attraction to manifest him back into her life. Here is part of what she wrote to me:

"Is there any way to attract a specific person to call or come back into your life? Everyone else seems to say this is impossible with the law of attraction. What do you say? Is it futile? What if this is truly something I want to attract?"

Since I get asked variations on this question I thought it would be good to address it in a blog entry. This is what I wrote back to her:

"When you want someone to do something, that is not law of attraction. When you want something for yourself that you are hoping will come from a specific person that is law of attraction with limits. When you decide that you want a loving relationship and that you are open to receiving it any way the universe wants to bring it to you then that’s law of attraction and being a vibrational match for it.

Because another person is involved and this person has his own intentions you cannot control what he will do, and you cannot ask the universe to force someone to feel a certain way about you.

Now, that is not to say that he will not come back into your life. It could actually happen that way. But you can’t ask the universe to bring you a certain person. That’s like black magic or mind control in the sense that you are asking the universe to make something happen. What you really want to do is open yourself to receive a loving relationship and prepare yourself to receive that love. What if the universe is trying to send you the perfect guy and you are insisting it be this other one?"

Besides love, people often try to use the law of attraction to manifest something very specific when what they really should do is be open. Sometimes being specific prevents you from getting what you really want. For example, people often ask me how they can use the law of attraction to win the lottery. I ask them if they want to win the lottery or have a lot of money. They usually say they just want to be rich. To which I reply, “Well, surely the lottery is one way to accomplish that, but by trying to manifest a lottery win you are blocking the universe from bringing you money some other way.” When you decide in advance how something must manifest for you then you close the door on other ways it can manifest. Why do that? Keep all your options open. Let the universe figure out the how, you just figure out the why.

The why is the most important part of the law of attraction because that’s what makes you a vibrational match for your desire. The “what” part is easy. I want money. I want time. I want to relax. I want a loving relationship. I want a good meal. That’s like looking at the menu at the restaurant of life and deciding what you want to eat. But the why is like handing your money to the cashier and getting a receipt. That’s what puts you in vibrational harmony with your desire. Without the cash it’s just thinking out loud. In my experience, if you don’t have a clear enough “why” then your intention probably won’t manifest.

When you find yourself crafting an intention make sure you are not trying to decide how it will manifest. Be open to any and all ways that the universe might bring your desire to you. Then start looking for signs that your order is on its way.

Many people try their hand at the law of attraction and then give up after putting forward minimal effort and investing little time, and then say, “Well, I tried that law of attraction stuff and it just does not work. I think it is just a crock of —-.” However, they fail to realize that they need to be patient and also that in order for the law of attraction to work properly, they will need generate positive energy.

So, in other words, you may be the reason that the law of attraction techniques you are implementing are not working at their optimum. What does this mean? Well, ask yourself this question, “What am I REALLY attracting?”

If you sit around all day bemoaning everything that you feel is not going your way or is negative in your life, then that is where all your energy is focused. Your are focusing on the negative in life, thereby not giving the positive any chance to flow into your life. You attract whatever it is that you focus on the most in life. This is just the universal law of attraction at work.

So, in order for you to REALLY unleash the full power of the law of attraction, you must focus your energies on the positive. Unfortunately, this is going to be the most difficult part of understanding how the law of attraction works for most people.

The rules of attraction simply state that you will attract the object/s of your focus. If this means overcoming past hurts and negatives in your life, then, by all means, deal with that emotional baggage and let it go. The law of attraction is about being accountable. You are accountable for all the negativity that you allow to hinder your desires. You MUST let go in order for the goals you desire to be within your grasp.

So ask, yourself the question again, “What am I REALLY attracting?”

You know some of the things we do everyday can really impact how we feel and determine what we are attracting to ourselves. We need to have feeling great and being positive a habitual part of us.

Of course there are going to be days that really shock your system and put you in such a mood. I found a post that gives some sound advice on how to get your vibe back and keep them that way.

Post written by Shauna from breathingprosperity.com, see below for an excerpt:

• 
  
• Remember that you are always at CHOICE. Any time you experience an emotion or reaction that does not represent your highest vision of yourself or that goes against your intentions, first accept that you are human and that this is normal and OK. Then, use your personal power and do whatever it takes to get yourself out of the funk. This decision, above all the other steps, is what will make the biggest difference to your happiness and vibrations level on a daily basis.
• 
  
• Know what triggers you - both negative and postive. You can then try and avoid the negative when possible, and can use the positive ‘triggers’ to help you bounce back when you are feeling less than stellar.
• 
  
• Get back to basics. For many people, including me, there are simple things that always make them feel better. Whether it’s comfort food, calling a trusted friend, or spending time in natural surroundings, take good care of yourself both every day, and when you feel out of sorts.
• 
  
• Get moving. Exercise is one of the best - and quickest - ways I know of to feel great. Physical activity is sooo good for us on so many levels, both physically and mentally. Put on your sneakers and go for a walk if you do nothing else. Your body - and your cleared mind - will thank you! Then do it again tomorrow…
• 
  
• Don’t define yourself by your past choices - even those of five minutes ago. If you are feeling guilty for falling off the bandwagon - whether it’s quitting smoking, eating healthy, exercising or any goal you are working on - remember that your next choice can get you back on track. Focus on what are doing well, and keep going. No one is a robot and we all slip now and then…just keep going! Persistence is what makes for winning achievement, AND for high vibrations. As soon as you are back on track, you will feel great again, and that is what this is all about!

Here is an entertaining and educational post from The Secret teacher Dr. Joe Vitale's blog. He lists down the top 10 things he does everyday to be successful. I thought you would find it an interesting read.

His post has inspired me to review what I do everyday to be successful. I am going to make a list of my own.

1. Exercise.

I exercise 4 to 5 days a week. Weight-lifting is three days a week. Cardio/aerobics is two. I usually do this in the morning, after I've had enough coffee to awaken most of my body and alert it to the fact that we're about to move. Exercise is a great stress reducer as well as confidence builder. Plus burning off calories lets me consume some calories and not regret it. I work-out in my own gym, so I don't have far to walk to get there. Truth be known, I wish I didn't have to exercise. But I also know there's no healthy way around it. So I, as Nike advises, "Just do it."

2. E-mail.

I check e-mail all day long, but heavily in the morning. I do my best to answer important e-mails quickly, as if writing a short telegram where every word costs plenty. Since my business is largely Internet driven, taking care of urgent e-mails keeps me prosperous and customers happy. Since I'm in the movie The Secret, often these e-mails come from reporters or people wanting to set up interviews with me, so it's important I act on these right away. I answer most email faster than most autoresponders. I also have a couple of mentoring programs, such as Miracles Coaching, and I love receiving emails from people achieving new levels of success from this coaching. Donald Trump once wrote, "Email is for wimps." For me, it's for the successful.

3. Read.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I read numerous books, many at one time, and throughout the day. I love books. I'm an admitted bookaholic. I rarely read fiction and can't get enough nonfiction in the areas of marketing, copywriting, publicity, advertising, spirituality, psychology, health, healing, hypnosis, mind power, new thought, muscle building, close-up magic, etc.

4. Write.

I'm always working on a new book. I have so many books out now that I can't remember them all, which means I can sometimes re-read one of my own books and be entertained, since it's new to me, too. Usually there is one book I am focusing on writing to the exclusion of all else. Right now I'm writing The Key: The Missing Secret to Attracting Whatever You Want, but I also have two other books to write and several more to promote. Focus gives me power. I write every day, either on a book, an email campaign, a blog post, a website, a news release, or an article for www.mrfire.com/ I even write blog posts from my Blackberry. I'm a writer, so I write. A lot.

5. Hot Tub

My Jacuzzi is the greatest investment of my life. I've never been so relaxed after being in it for just 30 minutes at 101 degrees. I now do this virtually every day. There's nothing like resting and revitalizing yourself so you can go back into the office and resume work. I think it's essential to meditate and relax, in some way, daily. If you're too busy to do this, then you really need to do this.

6. Gratitude

About six months ago I started smoking cigars. Not cigarettes with all their paper and additives; cigars. Say what you want, cigar smoking has become a type of gratitude meditation for me. I usually smoke a Cuban cigar outside, on the pool deck, in the evening. Sometimes I play one of my guitars, too. As I relax and look at the sky, I give gratitude for my life. I didn't always have a luxurious lifestyle. I was homeless thirty or so years ago. I am grateful to have survived it and grateful to be alive today. Life is good. Giving thanks makes it better. Watch my smoke.

7. I Love You.

Every day I spend time with Nerissa, our cats and dog, and feel the love. I've learned that the simple statement "I love you" can create miracles. "I love you" keeps the bliss alive. I explain this in my forthcoming book, Zero Limits. But I do this every day. I'm doing it right now. I'm silently saying I love you as I write this.

8. Planning.

Every evening I list what I will do the next day. But I do this in a unique way. I learned this method from Jerry and Esther Hicks. I make two lists. On one list I write the things I am scheduled to do, such as make calls, do an interview, turn in my tax records to my corporate accountants, etc. On the other list I write what I want the Universe to do. This may sound goofy, but the Divine (the Universe, God, Life, Tao, etc) will handle some of your bigger requests, if you simply ask. Again, this may seem gonzo to you, but it's my reality. Apparently, it works. I continue to do it. Have for years.

9. Research.

I visit very few websites, but those I do are essential to me. I visit Amazon every day. I'm always checking on how my babies (books) are doing, such as The Attractor Factor and my P.T. Barnum book. I'm always looking to see what new books Amazon suggests I get. I read a handful of blogs. I don't pay too much attention to the current news. I'm interested in trends, gadgets, new technology, health, healing, the Law of Attraction, etc. But my quick turbo-speed web surfing keeps me at least abreast of what's happening, so I can spot opportunities for new products, etc.

10. Nap.

I try to take a nap every afternoon. Sometimes being in the hot tub relaxes me so much that's it best to take a nap right after being in it. I need a nap to let my muscles recuperate from working-out. I also need a nap to let my mind refuel after writing and reading most of the day. I don't usually get a lot of sleep at night, so an afternoon nap keeps me sane, too.

Here is an interview with Rev. Michael Beckwith conducted by Helen Gray.

Q. What is the most important thing people should know about their thoughts?

A. A thought is a unit of mental energy. A thought, because it is energy, cannot be created or destroyed, so it becomes our opinions, perceptions and beliefs, and those become our experiences. As individuals become aware of their thoughts and begin to become committed to real thinking, they can begin to change the course of their destiny. They can free themselves from victimhood.

Most people regurgitate the same thoughts every day. They are thinking the thoughts of someone else or rethinking their own thoughts. That is re-hashing. When a person is praying, meditating or engaging in some spiritual practice, new thoughts come forth. This is real thinking, and that would make you progress.

What is the key to happiness?

Happiness or joy is not based upon external conditions. They are based upon your inner joy and happiness. As an individual wakes up and feels a connection to joy and happiness as a way of life, conditions will shape themselves around what I call feeling tone. If you get around certain people, you can feel the tone of that person’s life. Events like the one at Unity I call tuning forks.

What is the main cause of unhappiness?

People are expecting something from the world, expecting people, places and things to bring them happiness. But you are here to bring your gifts to the world. … The problem with most people is they think the world will make them happy. The world is not set up for that. The best it can do is entertain.

You have everything within you — beauty, love, wisdom, transforming knowledge, intelligence, creativity, power, talents, gifts — all are within every individual. People think those things come from the world. But we are here to bring this to the world. Our happiness comes from us bringing these things to the world, not by trying to get them from the world.

How should people deal with situations that seemingly are beyond their control?

A problem represents thoughts or perceptions in people’s lives. So they have to go inside and see what that problem represents, then slowly shift their internal reference points to assist them in moving through that issue. There are different reasons for problems in people’s lives.

First, is what I call the Job factor. People are having a problem because they have a fear, which can be conscious or unconscious, and this becomes their experience.

Second, some people are going through issues because it is a life issue that they have invoked for themselves. Some are setting up lessons for themselves that will help them grow necessary qualities. When we look back on hard times, we can see where we grew from those experiences. Therefore, you may be in a learning process.

Third, there are certain people on the planet who are going through things because they are assisting the planet to advance spiritually. Some come to help the planet grow in love and compassion.

Fourth, as long as we as a society believe in scarcity, lack and disease, someone will experience that because that is the belief of the global society.

No one is a victim to circumstances. Everyone is a spiritual being and can find their way back to their divine origin and can live a life that is meaningful, authentic and powerful.

Here is a really interesting post by Karen Lynch. The name of the post first got my attention. After reading it I just reminded me of the part in The Secret where Bob Doyle talks about the spiraling affect.

Where if you wake up and stub your toe and you allow it to affect you, it will just attract other similar things to your day. Whereas if you wake up feeling great and you allow that feeling to grow, you will attract events to expand th
