such as "positive thinking" (what you think about,) "positive affirmation" (what you say,) and "take action" (What you do) came about. It is a 'relatively' established fact that whatever you are constantly in contact with, whether by hearing that thing, seeing it or in fact via any of your senses, your mind takes in these external stimuli and they are then picked up by the subconscious mind which then, together with the brain, translates it into its physical reality and meaning. This is basically what the promoters of those phrases mentioned above are talking about. The sum total of the idea is that for you to attract the things you want in your life, you have to constantly think about and continuously tell yourself (audibly or within yourself) that you will get the object of your desire. And ultimately to take the required physical action to bring about the realization of that thing in question. This IS the sum total of how the law of attraction works. I believe one of the reasons why many people still don't "get" the LOA and how it works is basically how the message is being presented to them, amongst other reasons of course. In my opinion, LOA can be looked at from two perspectives: from a religious viewpoint and from a scientific or 'secular' one. When talking about LOA from a religious angle, it is usually referred to as Faith, while a secular discussion will take it from a mind/subconscious mind angle. The truth of the matter is that both terms are one and the same and can even be used interchangeably.
(or perhaps THE) role to play. Another is the 'action' that both definitions refer to. "Hearing the word" implies that words have to be spoken before those words are to be heard -what you say and what you hear. Similarly "repeated affirmations or instructions" also implies that those instructions have to be given, either verbally -what you say- or otherwise. The above statements and what they imply is the underlying reason why I personally think that "saying" and consequently "hearing" what you want to attract in your life is the most important factor (of the earlier mentioned five) in making the LOA work for you. This conviction is also strengthened by my understanding of the creation story of Genesis and how God "spoke all things into creation." There is A LOT of power in the spoken word.
has become a part of them, and that's why when you see them perform their act, it looks so easy. This also must be the same in the case of LOA and your desires. You MUST repeatedly say, hear, see, think about and ultimately do things that are related to the object of your desire. The Bible, Napoleon Hill, and many other authority figures have directly or indirectly attested to this fact. To give a few 'authority' statements and examples as to just how or why your subconscious mind is able to translate any stimuli you put into it, through your mind (via your five senses,) into it's physically equivalent, consider these statements. "Greater things than these shall you do." "Whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe that you have them, and you shall have them." The question to ask here is just what is 'prayer.' My definition of prayer is "you talking to God and God listening and talking back to you"
Truth is, with all those factors and distractions of everyday life mentioned earlier, it will be VERY hard to attract the things you want because, while it is fairly simple, so to speak, to count to 10 million it will take you a much longer time to finish your count because of the many other distractions you face EACH AND EVERY DAY. Hence chances are high that you will give up the count, or more specifically, give up hope before you get your desire. This is the very reason why practicing LOA can seem and perhaps is a hard thing to do and this is the main reason why the majority of people who first come into contact with and try to practice LOA usually conclude that it doesn't work or any other reasons they give. Nevertheless, LOA works because it is an immutable law of nature and there are many people who are having great successes applying this law.
a physical or visual/pictorial representation of whatever you desire and that is basically all it takes, though this is a rather simplified way to explain it. To give you an idea of what or how you could make this work for you. Lets suppose what you desire to get is a new car. You can simply find a picture of that car and always have it in sight, or better still, you can find an actual car (maybe a friends or a car showroom) and have a picture taken of you while sitting in that car, and always and as often as possible fix your gaze and attention on that picture. Soon enough, your subconscious will pick this up and do what it does best. (III) Kinesthetic Visualization involves feelings and emotions. How do you feel about the object of your desire? How does it make you feel when you see someone else with what you want and you don't have it. How do you feel when you see or hear about what you desire but think how you don't have it. Simply communicate this feeling to your subconscious and when you do this well and strongly enough, you can be sure it will do it's job. These three methods are the broader categories by which you can make LOA work. When people talk about meditating, using subliminals, positive thinking and affirmations, etc. All these fall under these categories. Your job is to find which one best suits you, or find one of the methods being generally canvassed and that you think or feel has great potential to help you and achieve your aim and use it. Lastly, you can find and develop or invent your own personal method that is unique to you and use it. This is what I personally did and my method has been achieving fantastic results for me and those I have introduced it to. What's best about the technique I 'invented' is that there is also a lot of scientific, religious and common knowledge that can validate and give weight to the potentials of my method. But I digress. Ill talk more about this method of mine a little while later.
(A) Meditation: If the general idea is that the mind is constantly assaulted by numerous distractions and therefore it cannot sufficiently and strongly communicate your desires to your subconscious mind. Then no doubt, meditation will help in no small measure, as the ultimate goal of meditation is to 'still the mind' so that majority of that 'trash' or unwanted stimuli is gotten rid of and only desired stimuli is communicated to the subconscious mind. To this end meditation is a desired and useful way of communicating with your subconscious mind. However, the question will remain just how often and how long can you meditate so as to sufficiently energize your subconscious mind with your desires. Most people will advocate meditating in the evenings or night and in a quiet and serene place when the atmosphere is calmer, and you are able to concentrate more. While this is true, I believe the percentage of people who will be able to do this on the long run is relatively small. Nevertheless, meditation is a desirable method of communicating with the God within you (B) Hypnosis: Over the past few years, I have read a lot of books, especially religious and spiritual books, and I have repeatedly come across advice and warnings not to entertain the thought of hypnosis. Looking at it from a religious or spiritual standpoint, hypnosis is 'bad' because it is somewhat like giving someone else the 'master key' to all your personal treasures, so to speak. Letting someone else take control over your mind, and consequently your subconscious mind, and what enters into it is dangerous not only because of the potential dangers of what the person can feed to your subconscious mind. It can also be viewed as surrendering your free will, even if only for a little while, which has been reputed to be one of the greatest gifts than a human being has. Lastly, my readings indicate that hypnosis and it's effect has some deeper meanings and consequences which are better understood purely from a religious/spiritual viewpoint and that is way beyond the scope of this write-up, and that is why I will limit myself to what I have written thus far. Nevertheless, I will say that hypnosis, and perhaps if it is self hypnosis can also have a role to play in helping to communicate with the subconscious mind and the desired objective of making LOA work, and at such it just might be a topic to look deeper into. It is left for you to determine which is suitable for you, and which method you can practice in the long run. (C.) Subliminals: I have increasingly been coming in contact with material that suggests that subliminals can also be a means of communicating with the subconscious mind and from what I understand this seems to have it's place. My understanding of it is that subliminals are small 'bursts' of messages or stimuli that are sent to you constantly and at several intervals, and that these messages are so quick so as not to be noticed by the conscious mind and it's senses, but
rather is picked up by the subconscious mind, which misses nothing, and which as I have said before, is the more important of the two. Studies and writings suggest that this method is used extensively in advertising and marketing. It seems to me that subliminals, as it is being promoted today, seems to depend a lot on the computer or a screen to do it's work. This to me is a drawback. However, just because I do not know much about subliminals is not good enough reason for me to rule it out or discountenance it. Perhaps you can even combine several methods to suit your personality and moods and situation. There is, however, a very promising technology that is in the making that I strongly believe will do a fantastic job of communicating with your subconscious. As at the time of writing, the product is still in beta stage and is not yet ready for the public. From what I have read about this technology, a great deal of research has been done to arrive at the conclusions the promoters and inventors of this subliminal technology are putting into it. More importantly perhaps, is the fact that their work is approached from a multifaceted angle. By that I mean that they are simply taking established knowledge in the areas of science and religion and more, and using 21st century technology to make this easier and more effective. When this subliminal technology is released in the not too distant future, I am sure you will one way or another hear about it, and if need be I will personally bring it to your attention. There however is a possibility that it may still be a long way coming. Lastly, if I can call it that, Nero Linguistic Programming, especially without the use of a computer screen, seems to me to be a "branch" of Subliminals (or is it the other way round) and there is strong evidence, some of which I reckon with, that suggests that it can be a useful means of making LOA work for you. Again, my limited knowledge of the topic, and space in this medium won't allow me talk on it further. (D.) Electronic means: This is my favorite method of communicating with my subconscious mind and this is what I do. I have been practicing it for over a year with fantastic results. Using this method, I communicate DIRECTLY with my subconscious mind and totally bypass my mind, which has been fingered as the major accomplice in many people's 'failure' to attract the things they want in their life. Using this method takes place, and this will probably shock you, WHILE I SLEEP, and
this is the very reason why in my opinion it is 10 times more effective than any of the methods mentioned above. Why and How does it happen while I sleep? The 'Why' has to do with the fact that while you are asleep, your mind is also asleep, hence the distractions that it normally encounters when it is awake is totally eliminated. Something you should know is that the subconscious mind NEVER sleeps, and this validates the reason for doing this when sleeping. The subconscious mind is 'spirit' and not of this physical world (even though it is 'encased' in the physical body) and it functions best when the mind and body has taken a break from it's physical and mental activities. This usually happens in the evenings/night when you have come home from your busy day outside. The evenings/night is usually the best and most effective time to communicate your desire to your subconscious mind, but unfortunately by this time you are physically and mentally tired, and most likely unable to effectively communicate your desires to your subconscious mind. This is where my method comes into play. The 'How' of communicating while you sleep takes place with the aid of an electronic device, a Discman, or other similar devices. I will quote some phrases from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich that will hopefully help you understand and see the effectiveness of this method. "Faith is a state of mind which may be induced through auto-suggestion." Also, he says that "Autosuggestion is a term which applies to all suggestions and self administered stimuli which reach the mind through the five sense." Yes there is mention of using the five sense, which corresponds to the mind, nevertheless my personal application of this method still by-passes the mind. "Repetition of affirmation of orders to the subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith." The connection and point I am trying to make here is that the Discman is simply the tool with which you use to auto-suggest or repeatedly affirm or continuously 'hear the word of God.' I hope that is clear? I will now briefly explain why it is best to do your 'subconscious mind exercise' in the evenings or night. It might be considered a little off-topic, but I say it only to give credence to my method. It is a well established scientific fact that EVERYTHING in Nature emits energy or a vibration. As for human beings, there are four measurable levels of vibrations we emit at different times of the day. The four levels are Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta. In Beta state, this is when we are awake and at our peak, the measurements at this state is anywhere between 14
and over 100 Hertz. Alpha varies between 8 and 13.9 Hertz and this is achieved in a relaxed state, such as when one is resting or taking a nap or in prayer. Next comes Theta at between 4 and 7.9 Hertz, which is attained during dream sleep state or meditation. And finally Delta, which is below 4 Hertz and this is gotten in dreamless or deep sleep or in a coma. When our vibrations or the brain are operating at high electrical rates such as during the day, it is in fact emitting lower energy frequencies than the Universe or Infinite Intelligence operates, and at such we cannot tap into or connect to that energy because we are not vibrating at the same or near same pulse. This works on the same principle that two different objects with the same vibrational tone work in harmony and ATTRACT others alike. The same way two magnets of the same polarity will attract each other and other things with the same properties. The vice versa is the case where we emit vibrations at lower rates which in turn emits high energy. The lower Hertz figures (Theta and Delta) are the vibrations at which the subconscious mind functions the most and at such the evening/night times are most suitable times for the subconscious mind to function, but more preferably, the night or sleep time. I hope you can see from there that when I advocate reaching and influencing your subconscious mind while you sleep, I know what I am talking about. This method of mine came about as a result of certain life experiences that I went through over the years, and it incorporates quite a few different things I have learnt from different sources and books I have read, top of the list being Think and Grow Rich.
Any action is better than no action, and therefore any of the methods I mentioned above (or any other you can think of) just might be good enough for you. However anything worth doing is worth doing well. Wouldn't you rather choose an option and method that has the most potential to help you achieve your aim? You would agree with me that from my little analysis of the above methods by which you can try to practice the LOA, directly communicating with your subconscious mind while you sleep has the most potential. What is more, the simplicity and extreme effectiveness of the my method is a very desirable trait that I'm sure will make you want to read that book and start taking action towards making LOA work for you. This is the reason why you need to go over to www.richesofthemind.com and read that book because the earlier you do so, the sooner you will start attracting positive things and circumstances towards you. and your life will never be the same again, in a very positive way. I hope with all I have written so far, I have been able to shed more light on the topic of the subconscious mind, its powers and potentials, and how you can make it work for you? Go over now to www.richesofthemind.com and get that book and start reading it and putting the Law of Attraction to work for you.
