AttractAnything! (the blog)

You may have noticed that it is easy to attract money (or anything else) as long as you don’t need it. This is an unfailing law of the universe that becomes obvious once we start looking for it. Lets look at a few examples:

Let’s say you run a company and you are interviewing candidates for a job. Who would you rather hire: a person who is desparate for the position because they don’t believe anyone else will hire them, or a person who knows they have many options and is accordingly calm and confident during the interview?

In my experience, the second candidate will get the job 9 times out of 10. And this same logic applies to a million other scenarios. Another example: Who would you rather go on a date with: someone who is obviously desparate to go out with you, or someone who has relaxed and laid back, has plenty of other opportunities, but they are interested in you and would enjoy getting to know you?

The point is this: desparation is NEVER attractive. Not to other employers, not to potential dates, and not to the Universe. To attract money, you must rid yourself of any desparation for the green stuff, and decide that you already have it.

The Universe (and people) always give us more of what we already “have,” NOT what we want. Attracting money is a simple as deciding that you already have it. This puts you in a state of gratitude because you have money, which is the ideal minset to attract even more money.

Of course, it can take time to develop this mindset–it took me years, for example. But once you understand that “your belief makes it so,” you will see the results in your life (and your bank account!).

Stop “needing” money or “wanting” money, and start “having” money, even if it is all in your head at first. Remember, we attract money and prosperity to us by virtue of our beliefs, not our wants or needs.

The inter-web has been all abuzz lately with talk of a sequel to The Secret. “The Secret 2” as many people are already calling the follow up, is being kept a bit of a mystery for the time being, but a few sites have been hinting that it’s on the way.

For example, Wikipedia claims the movie is under production right now and will be released spring 2008. But so far, the official Secret web site is making no mention of the Secret sequel. Hmmm…

Several of the teachers from The Secret have also implied (or in some cases confirmed) there will be a sequel, though they have mostly gone quiet on the subject lately, building even greater mystery.

There is no doubt that The Secret has made a huge impact on popular culture, and introduced many people to the philosophies of “implied responsibility,” and “attraction,” which in my mind, can only be a good thing. But the film certainly has its share of detractors too.

It is a bit odd that a film like this can incite so much controversy. 95% of all films released seem to re-hash the same well-worn motifs of victimization, tragedy and powerlessness. And then along comes Rhonda Byrne with a simple message of loving yourself, and believing in your own power, and some people seem to respond with violent emotional outbursts (oh dear)!

It seems that every once on while, some beautiful soul will go out on a limb and say, “Hey, wait a minute; we are all one, and guess what? Our thoughts have power.” And as soon as they do, some group or other will get so offended by this sentiment that they’ll try to squash it immediately. Makes you wonder what they are afraid of…

But as the late-great Bill Hicks once said, “If you’re offended by any of this–you probably deserve to be.” Haha

Personally, I hope there are 50 Secret sequels and 5000 other Law of Attraction videos in the very same vein–the world needs better influences than the same-old mindless horror films and so-called “reality” programs we’re getting now. We DESERVE better.

So I say, bring on The Secret 2, and any film like it. It’s all good.

Namaste,
Jon

I hope everyone had a great holiday season and is looking forward to a happy and prosperous new year. In this post I want to talk about the law of attraction and love. I receive many e-mails asking about manifesting relationships, so I thought it was finally time to go on record and say something about this here on the AttractAnything blog.

First, attraction works in every area of life, including relationships. There are no special rules or strategies to use to attract a great relationship — the usual law of attraction principles will apply.

Having said that, the easiest way to manifest positive relationships is to “act as if” you already have them. I got a great e-mail from “Steve”(not his real name) in Australia this week, wherein he described the process of using the law of attraction to attract a new relationship into his life. I will use “Steve’s” situation as an example here, because he was in the perfect state of mind to attract love into his life, and that is exactly what he did.

Steve used the time honored law of attraction principle which is sometimes also called “fake it until you make it.” He simply DECIDED that he already had a great relationship in his life, and began ACTING from this point of view.

Steve also avoided the biggest problem most people seem to have in attracting a loving relationship; he refused to be in a mindset of desperation. I’m sure that everyone reading this is already aware that desperation is NEVER attractive to a potential partner. In fact, it has the effect of pushing people and relationships away from us.

But on the other hand, when we “act as if” we already have a perfect relationship; it attracts partners to us like bees to honey. This is all common sense of course; it’s not anything unique to law of attraction teaching. And although love can seem complicated and confusing sometimes, it is actually a very simple process that follows the same universal laws as every other desire we may have in life.

Now, the biggest objection I hear about the process Steve used (which is incidentally also the process I used to attract my partner Elizabeth — wink wink) is that it is “being a phony.” My answer to this charge is always the same: “yes you are right; it is being a phony.”

If a person’s definition of “being a phony” is to act as if certain things are true before they technically come about, then yes, I am guilty as charged. But you know what? Acting from the end result (acting “as if”) is the way that we attract things into our life — all things. If this bothers you, or you feel that it is “phony” or “fake,” then you’re going to have a lot of trouble manifesting anything worthwhile in your life.

The law of attraction requires us to have faith in things unseen. So even if you feel lonely, or you feel desperate for a partner, you MUST switch your mindset to one of contentment and gratitude that you already have a great relationship. In other words, “you’ve got to fake it until you make it.”

You can certainly attract love with the law of attraction by using the same universal principles that govern every other area of our life. If you want to be a successful business person; begin acting like you already are a successful business person. If you want to be rich; begin acting like you already are rich. And if you want to attract love and a perfect relationship into your life; begin acting like you already have love and a perfect relationship in your life. The law of attraction will make it so.

Wishing you continued prosperity and success,
Jon
