Is The Law Of Attraction Real?

This article by Yu Shan helps answer one of the biggest questions
about the law of attraction...

Is The Law Of Attraction Real?

Many people who are new to The Secret want to know if it's
"real." That is, whether there is some simple physical mechanism
that makes good things happen simply as a result of positive
thinking. The answer could thoughtfully be yes, no and maybe,
all at the same time.

For starters, there's nothing simple about consciously changing
the way you think. Even those who've been at it for quite some
time are still novices. Like the path towards Enlightenment, it
will probably take a lifetime to get out of the novice stage. So
no, you can't just make a wish and hope that it comes true.
There's a bit more to it, but not much more if you really make a
change in your way of thinking with some careful practice.

Negative thoughts come at you from all direction. Especially
when you live in a state of fear, it's easy to succumb to
disparaging thinking. Does this actually make different quantum
decisions that ultimately affect the most minor of action that
can set a course of events in motion that has a profoundly
positive effect on you if you're bothering to look? Maybe.

Given the mathematics of quantum phenomena, it may be very
improbable to happen, but the idea is that you (and better yet,
a bunch of people) are able to change the probability.

And maybe they can. There have been studies done at Princeton
University that have actually tracked deviations from strictly
random probability. The effect is measurable by current
technology when very intense things happen to millions of people
or when a large group of several thousand concentrate on a
specific goal. It's possible that for change to happen in one's
life, only a very random and small deviation is required – one
that cannot currently be measured. It's certainly possible,
though not proven.

It's just possible that the effect, when used in conjunction
with some well-known mental training techniques that encourage
existing human predilections toward an all-encompassing focus
upon "what could be," can help bring about some improbable or at
least unusual good fortune. It could happen, though some think
it an act of vanity to believe their thoughts have power.

Some people adopt an air of superiority of hubris, thinking
that is the same thing as a serene concentration on gratitude,
positive goal setting and openness to opportunity. It is not.
Arrogance is just a complicated sort of fear. Imagine if you
really just spent your time looking towards all the good things
you could do and imagined yourself in that position.

By very carefully imagining yourself actually receiving what
you crave, and really feeling and seeing every detail there, you
probably can't help but formulate some creative ideas about how
to how to do it. You'll also put yourself in situations where
you may meet people who'd be interested in helping you. By
immediately acknowledging people's assistance, you create good
will that encourage social networking that works to your
advantage.

The Law of Attraction works when you focus outward rather than
inward, and perhaps that is, in essence, how it works.
