The Law of Attraction Exposed: Why People Don’t Get What They Want
November 11, 2008 by Audado
It appears so simple: Ask, expect, and receive.
Some people swear that the Law of Attraction works. Others try the Law of Attraction and receive no success. Without anything happening, they wonder if ‘the Law of Attraction’ is a bunch of bull.
There are explanations why the Law of Attraction does not seem to deliver all that it is supposed to deliver.
Results May Not Be As Instantaneous as Expected
One reason why the Law of Attraction may look like it is failing is that you might be expecting the universe to deliver what you want immediately. You have to realize that you are simply sending out positive energy surrounding a subject. You must trust that the universe will send it back to you in due time.
What you are seeking is usually something good that you’re excited to receive, like a nice chunk of change to pay off some persistent creditors. You may find that you are worrying whether the Law of Attraction will actually work and asking exactly when it is going to appear. If you do, it may mean that you do not have faith that anything is coming. You are just pretending to believe and not willing to commit to believing in the end result.
The Universe Is Not Limited
You might also be expecting the manifestation of the Law of Attraction to arrive by a certain method. For example, you might ask for money. You are hoping that Aunt Sally will give you an early inheritance. This may be your idea of the Law of Attraction. However, if you are alert to the universe around you, you may come across another means of fulfillment of your request. An inspiration might be revealed to you that would create the money you desire. Following up on the inspired idea might involve some work, but the end result would be the same … the finances you asked for. If your energy 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.
Not Giving the Universe a Chance
Another error people make in employing the Law of Attraction is putting too much emphasis on the immediate evidence they see. 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 negative thinking will bring more of the same.
The truth is that if people genuinely understand the Law of Attraction and the science behind it, external evidence will have little effect on them. This is because they will have total belief and faith 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 undoubtedly come to pass.
Limiting Core Beliefs
The Law of Attraction may not work because of limiting beliefs and values that were learned in the past. Many have strong emotions about things they consider to be too difficult to overcome or too big to have.
A lot of this may be due to upbringing, education and experience. If, during your entire childhood, you were repeatedly told that wealthy people are disfavored by God, it creates a paradox when using the Law of Attraction to manifest wealth. For instance, you might intend to manifest financial abundance using the Law of Attraction but on a subconscious level, you are rejecting any money that may come your way because you don’t want to be a bad person.
When these emotions come up, it changes the energy you are sending out. 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 allow the person to fully use the Law of Attraction. ‘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 outstanding.
If you properly use the Law of Attraction, you will have what you want. It can be easy once you change the way you think and feel about things. If you can come to clear the limiting thoughts or subconscious conflicts that may be stopping you, you can make the Law of Attraction work.

The Secret in audio book format
The Secret reveals the most powerful law in the universe. The knowledge of this law has run like a golden thread through the lives and the teachings of all the prophets, seers, sages and saviors in the world’s history, and through the lives of all truly great men and women. All that they have ever accomplished or attained has been done in full accordance with this most powerful law.
Rhonda Byrne’s discovery of The Secret began with a glimpse of the truth through a 100 year old book. She went back through centuries, tracing and uncovering a common truth that lay at the core of the most powerful philosophies, teachings and religions in the world.
This secret has been passed down through the ages, highly coveted, hidden, lost, stolen, and bought for vast sums of money. Fragments of this Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. It has been understood by some of the most prominent people in history: Plato, Galileo, Beethoven, Edison, Carnegie and Einstein, along with other renowned inventors, theologians, scientists and great thinkers.
For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life transforming for all who experience it.
In this audiobook you will discover The Secret … and you will learn how to have, do, or be anything you want. You will learn how to use The Secret in every single area of your life. You will hear from modern-day teachers – men and women who have used The Secret to achieve health, prosperity, relationships and happiness.
They share their incredible stories of using The Secret to eradicate disease, acquire massive wealth, overcome obstacles, and achieve what many would regard as impossible. Through them, you will begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that is within you, and the true magnificence that awaits you in life.
Audio seems like the natural medium for Rhonda Byrne’s blockbuster motivational book on positive thought for positive results. The Australian TV producer leads listeners through her exposition on the secret of life. Quoting from an array of New Age gurus and interpreting more traditional teachers as well, the program integrates sound bites from the various authors, with actors taking many of the roles. Neale Donald Walsh, Denis Waitley, Jack Canfield, and dozens of others make cameo comments throughout the program. Byrne’s slightly whispery, intimate voice calling the listener to believe alternates with hyped ” you-can-do-it” encouragement from speakers like Bob Proctor. Kudos goes to the production team that integrated the dozens of speakers–some just introducing who will speak next. The resulting audio keeps a rapid pace hop-skipping along to support Byrne’s premise of the essential ” Law of Attraction.”
