can 'law of attraction' bring you the love of your lfie?

[orangelady]

I've heard stuff about "the secret" - where you think about something you desire or want so much that it'll actually manifest into your life? Erh? Where art he?

 

Any testimonies/failures?

One of the laws of attraction is given the right circumstances you settle. (might not even know you are settling.)

[Buddha]

A deeper meaning behind the rather simplistic law of attraction in The Secret is that you will inevitably, through your consciousness and the thoughts and feelings you project into the universe, attract to you what you want to experience.

 

But the universe is not an ordering system. You can't just dial up for cosmic pizza. The universe can be compared to a mirror, which reflects back to you whatever you project into it, exactly like a mirror on earth.

 

If you waited for your reflection in a physical mirror to smile at you first before you smiled at it, you'd be waiting a very long time. The universe works in exactly the same way. If you project the lack of a man into it, what do you think will be reflected back?

 

How about projecting the loveliness that you are, the peace of being YOU, the contentment with your life? Maybe the universal mirror will send you circumstances which reflect that, in which you can be peaceful and contented. At the very least, your peace and joy will make you a beautiful companion for any man who does comes along.

 

In my own experience, the cosmic mirror cannot fail. It is a law of the universe. It's part of why people say that when you stop looking for a man (or stop trying for a baby, or whatever) it can often happen, as if by magic.

 

Well, it's not magic, it's reality. But wanting something so much can actually cause the universe to reflect back to you more of the same. Try changing what you send out, if you want to experience a different result.

 

You may ask how this can work in the case of wanting a man? After all, you cannot pretend to have one, in order to get one, right?

 

Right. You don't need to pretend to have one. Just do not mourn for what you don't have. Smile at the mirror. Be happy, be content, live a full life. The universe will smile back at you with everything your heart truly desires.

 

And that's a far cry from settling.

IMO, it works. Since late 2010, I have daydreamed and asked for a smartphone and a computer, and I received both.

 

I'm now daydreaming and asking for a girlfriend, one specifically that meets my standards. Hopefully, this can come soon.

Another thing is that it is not falsifiable and cannot be measured. This doesn't mean it doesn't work, but there is no concrete way to prove it, unless thoughts and feelings can ever be measured.

Hey orangelady,

 

I think this ties, somehow, into my thread about being comfortable in your own skin and being happy living single.

 

If you're happy being single and aren't looking for someone, then you'll meet the type of person who is the exact mirror of you. The same applies to other personality traits such as confidence, optimism, etc.

 

This isn't a scientific law, so its hard to prove but when I was insecure and desperately in need of someone, I found someone who needed a relationship just as bad. I projected codependency and the universe held up a mirror and I found someone just like I was.

 

So, the trick is, to be happy and find contentment in your life regardless of a relationship because you want someone who adds joy to your life and you to his.

 

You're born in this world alone and you will leave the world alone. As long as you keep that in mind, you're good.

 

The 'How' of being happy, and confident alone is a work in progress, though

 

-My two cents.

Yes i believe it can happen , you attract what you focus on..thats why people who are negative (like they hate a certain thing, celebrity or politician, or a person) can only get nothing but negative stuff from what they focus on. It destroys them..they destroy themselves.

 

People who have a mindset or prejudicial views for example, if a woman thinks all men are pigs or a guy who thinks all women are cheaters...they attract those. Ironic huh.

 

Many years ago, I have wanted a bunch of things in my life without even focusing on it..but viewing it as "someday im gonna get that" ..and I look around and I got most of what I have wanted before even without really focusing on it.

 

There is a bad part though..i once liked/loved a guy very much..but i had no idea if i really loved him, or how important he was in my life..i ended up taking him for granted..i even focused and asked the universe that him and i broke up and guess what.

 

 

had no idea that it would actually happen..and i was not prepared to lose him.

 

you cant just wish for something..but if u must u need to specify..like..what age of man you want, that he needs to be single, he needs to be this and that. im sure there are guides online as to how to wish correctly

 

you also need to help the universe help you, you cant just sit there and wait for it. grab every opportunity that presents itself..use your good judgment.

 

 

 

 

Destiny struggles to reassert the pattern that was meant to be..

For a long time, I have liked a woman at work, and I am attracting her to me.

 

The key is to visualise and conceptualise, and imagine what the object you desire will be like once one obtains it. If one desires a car, then literally think/feel what it will be like when you get it. This should be done for most of the day if possible, and at the least be at the forefront of one's thoughts/feelings at a given time. Yes, we think a thousand things a minute, nonetheless there must be the continuous desire.

 

Pal, I did just that but it didn't work. I desired and desired and visualized the outcome of what I wanted, but the fella just drifted further from me. :/
