Why The Law of Attraction Doesn't Work for Most People

What gurus and programs won't tell you.

The Law of Attraction is a Secondary Law..

“THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IS A SECONDARY LAW, WHICH IS BASED ON A PRIMARY LAW..” Bob Proctor

This simple statement above is the reason a lot of people after watching the movie “The Secret” went out, tried to apply the law of attraction failed, and concluded that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work, and the movie “The Secret” was a ripoff.

You see the Law of Attraction is based on a primary law which is the Law of Vibration, which states “Everything is in a state of motion, nothing rests”. Not understanding this law is the reason a lot of people who tried practicing the Law of Attraction failed.

The theory behind the Law of Attraction is the belief that energy attracts like energy in the vast expanse of space and time that comprises our universe. Each person’s being is constantly radiating energy out into space; the type of energy being radiated is determined by the emotional state of the individual in question and may differ from day to day-sometimes even hour to hour!

This emotional energy is what is commonly known as a “vibe” and is referred to as vibration by scientists studying the law of attraction. Chances are that you’re familiar with the term. Have you ever been with someone so happy they seem to be radiating a “glow which inspires happiness in all those around them?

By the same token, have you ever spent time with someone so critical and unhappy that they consistently gave off a “negative vibe” that seemed to suck the life and happiness out of all those around them?

You don’t have to possess psychic powers to be able to feel the vibes that people emit; this energy is very real on a psychological plane and will affect anyone, anywhere at any time.

Our vibrations are usually an unconscious response to some form of environmental stimulus; something has happened which has caused us to feel happy, or sad, or scared, or confused, or stressed, etc., and our subconscious response to this (because vibes are generated and projected from the subconscious rather than the conscious) is something that is beyond our control.

The ability to control your vibrations at any given time is the key to manifesting your desires, this is “The Secret” in the movie “The Secret”.

You see everything is just an expression of the same thing, they are just at varying frequencies, when you “match” the frequency of another thing, you become like it like you were taught like attracts like, hence the “Law of Attraction”. This simple principle is the reason a lot of people who practice the Law of Attraction fail to get their desires, they instead get the opposite and the simple reason is that they aren’t putting out the right frequency to match their desire, rather they are putting out the frequency of what they don’t desire, so they attract what they don’t want again and again.

You see what a lot of people don't know about the law of attraction is that "people don't really attract their desires, they attract who they are". Take for example someone who is poor and wants to manifest prosperity or abundance, then the person begins to use the law of attraction. What happens is that he/she will continue getting the opposite of their desire because they already have a poverty mindset that constantly puts them in a poverty vibration, and as long as they are in that poverty vibration they will continue to attract poverty and lack, and this will now lead to frustration.

So for this person to be able to attract abundance, he/she must, first of all, replace that poverty and lack mindset with prosperity and abundance mindset, and how to do this is by "Affirmations".

Using Affirmations to put you in the prosperity and abundance vibration

Many people do not know the correct use of affirmations, they go and copy any affirmation they see and start confessing it, and most times they don’t see results and conclude that affirmations are fake. The main use of affirmations is to implant a new thought or idea or image by repetition.

The correct use of affirmations is to bombard a mental block you have recognized in your subconscious with the intent to change it, everyone has different mental blocks, my mental blocks will be different from yours so my affirmations will be different from yours. You first of all need to find the block, then you craft a suitable affirmation to bombard that block and change it to the image you want. This is the correct use of affirmations.

You use affirmations to create a prosperity and abundance mindset first, which then puts you in the prosperity or abundance "vibration", then you will begin to attract circumstances and events that will bring the abundance you seek.

How you can Know more about this Primary Law of Vibration

Time will fail me to talk about how to recognize the very frequency you are emitting at a particular time, and how to know whether it’s in harmony with your desires or not. Or the various emotions that lead to either positive or negative “vibes” and how to change any negative emotion to a positive one, but I can show you how.
