Exposed: Why The Law of Attraction Does Not Work

by Urbain Beck

It appears so simple: Ask, expect, and receive.

Some people will tell you they have a good life because of the Law of Attraction. Others try and try and receive no success. Without positive results, they wonder if 'the Law of Attraction' is a load of bull.

There are some very good reasons why people have poor results using the Law of Attraction.

Results May Not Be As Instantaneous as Expected

One explanation why the Law of Attraction may seem to fail is that you might be expecting the universe to deliver what you want immediately. You have to realize that the Law of Attraction involves sending out positive energy around a subject. You must trust that the universe will send your positive thoughts back to you in its time.

What you're requesting is generally something good that you're excited to receive, like a solution to a problem in a relationship. You may find that you are nervously pacing the floor and asking exactly when it's going to manifest. If you do, it may mean that you do not trust that anything is actually coming. You are just going through the motions and not willing to commit to believing in the end result.

The Universe May Have a Better Way

You might also be expecting the answer to your demands to come in a limited, specific fashion. By way of example, you might ask for a financial windfall. You are hoping that Aunt Sally will give you an early inheritance. This may be your conception of the Law of Attraction. However, if you are aware of what takes place in your environment, you may discover another means of fulfillment of your request. An inspiration might come to you that would bring you the money you want. It might involve some effort, but the end result would be the same ... the cash you need. If your outlook is positive, you will look upon this circumstance with gratitude and joy. By the Law of Attraction, this can only multiply the good in your life.

Giving Up Too Early

Another mistake people make in trying the Law of Attraction is putting too much emphasis on their perception of the reality around them. When they see things that seem to prove that the Law of Attraction is not working, they quit believing. They get frustrated and their desire to maintain positive thoughts disappears, only to be replaced with negative thoughts. This negativity will bring more of the same.

The truth is that if people really understand the Law of Attraction and the science behind it, external evidence will have little influence on them. This is because they will have total faith and trust that the Law of Attraction has been operating all along. For instance, today's reality is only the manifestation of yesterday's thoughts and the future will be different.

People who experience success with the Law of Attraction realize that their new focused, positive thoughts will without a doubt come to being.

Limiting Core Beliefs

The Law of Attraction may not work because of limiting beliefs and values that were learned in the past. Many have deeply ingrained emotions about things they consider to be too difficult to overcome or too big to have.

Much of this may be due to past experiences and upbringing. If, during your entire youth, you were constantly told that wealthy people are bad and selfish, it creates a paradox when using the Law of Attraction to attract large sums of money. For example, you might intend to manifest wealth using the Law of Attraction but on a subconscious level, you are rejecting any abundance that may come your way because you do not want to be a bad person.

These feelings or subconscious drives have a tendency to cloud the positive energy that you send out using the Law of Attraction. There are ways to transform the subconscious impulses and beliefs. One of these ways is to constantly feed your subconscious mind with positive images, statements or affirmations. These methods permit a person to be free of negative vibes that have come from childhood or past experiences and to use the Law of Attraction without subconscious limitations. 'Mind Movies' are a promising new resource that can be easily used to reprogram the subconscious mind (see http://www.achieve-your-destiny.com for details). People's experiences from Mind Movies have been incredible.

You really can have what you want, if properly using the Law of Attraction. It can become easy to master once you change the way you think and feel about things. If you can come to understand the Law of Attraction fully, you can experience wonderful results from the Law of Attraction.
