The Universal Law
of Attraction
Karen Lynch
It’s a common
phenomenon. Almost everyone can relate. You start looking for a new car,
something special, something not like anyone else’s, something unusual.
You pick out what seems to be a unique, unusual choice of a special red
car and all of a sudden, there it is-- your red car, the one you thought
was only yours. It’s on every street corner. It is at every stoplight.
You see three of these red cars just driving down the freeway. You never
saw these cars before. What happened? How did all of these people get
your unique red car at the same time?
Well the fact of the matter is that your brain is seeing the red cars
that were always there. Since you picked out this car for yourself, that
car has become special for you and now you are noticing what was really
there all along.
It’s called the “Reticular Activation System” or RAS. It is the part of
your brain that automatically filters out what is not important to you
and brings your attention to things that are important to you. We all
have it. Many a Mom will tell you that they can pick out their own
child’s voice within the chorus of many children’s voices. A Mom will be
sleeping soundly through noise from many directions and her baby makes a
small whimper and she’s wide-awake. Our brains automatically filter what
is important and what is not important to us.
Basically the Reticular Activation System is how the Law of Attraction
works. We get what we focus on; we create what we think about and the
RAS system of our brains just helps this process along.
There are so many misconceptions regarding the Law of Attraction. It
seems odd that if this is a Universal Law why people tend to argue with
it. Nobody argues with gravity. Of course, gravity is not nearly so
misunderstood.
The Law of Attraction is not a new concept. It has been with us since
ancient times, which only makes sense if it is a Universal Law. It is
mentioned in the Bible
“For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” Proverbs 23:7
Buddha taught about the Law of Attraction
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is
everything. What we think we become” Buddha 562-483 B.C.
In the early part of the 20th century many books were written about the
Law of Attraction, such as “As a Man thinketh” by James Allen, “The
Master Key” by Charles Haanel and one of the most popular books of all
time “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.
Yet there are those who still argue and express their disbelief. A
common argument is that proponents of the Law of Attraction claim that
all they have to do is think their lofty thoughts and all of their
dreams come true. This could not be further from the truth. The thoughts
create the opportunities and the ideas AND the motivation and
inspiration to take the ACTION to make it come true.
The Joy in creating comes from developing and dreaming in your own mind
but a large part of the FUN of creating comes from the Action taken. Not
many achievers are content to sit on the beach and dream of success.
There is no fun and there is no challenge in that. It’s a joy to dream
the dream, to be attracted to the way and to take the action to make
your dreams come true. Sitting on the beach daydreaming may be fun for
an hour or two but how boring to live a life like that. Taking action to
create your dreams is where the fun and joy in creating comes, not just
from the dreams in your own mind.
So Dream the Dream and your RAS will take over and you will be inspired
and guided on the right action to take. Take the Action and the Law of
Attraction will bring your dream to you.
