This is an excellent excerpt from an excellent audio book, “The End of Faith” by Sam Harris, read by Brian Emerson. In this excerpt, Sam draws the connection between religiosity and victimless crime. I’m guessing the first victimless crime was blasphemy. Sorry I haven’t made any videos lately. I haven’t had a lot of time. Sam says it better than I could anyway. Enjoy!

Have you ever had thoughts like you were heading down a dead end street, trying to reach your goals? When we attempt reach massive goals it can often become a sure fire way to burn out, if we try to do it all alone. But whatever situation you might find yourself in at the beginning, unexpected obstacles will creep in and it’s how you overcome them and bounce back that ensures your ultimate success.

One very effective way to ensure your success in reaching your goals is by learning how to work in unison with the universal laws. By asking for help and believing that you will have the resources and help required, you’ll effectively eliminate a lot of the pressure that you might feel if you carry the load all by yourself.

If you turn every endeavour into a partnership effort with the universal mind, you can’t lose. By knowing how to interact with the universe by implementing the universal laws in your life, you’ll begin to manifest resources, help, knowledge and anything else you may need that otherwise was out of reach. This will then enable you to relax and “know” that all is in a divine state of grace and as it should be, and at the same time maximising your skills and moving forward efficiently.

In the book by Jerry and Esther Hicks “Ask and It is Given,” they describe an exercise called a “Placemat Process.” This process was invented by Esther through necessity, they were travelling a lot for business and Esther found herself feeling overwhelmed by everything she needed to do on a daily basis.

She worked out a basic way to divide up her duties by asking the universe for help. While she was relaxing over coffee one day, she turned over a placemat and turned it over to expose the blank side. She then took a pen, and divided the mat in two columns, in one she wrote “universe” and the other “me.”

She then listed everything she wanted to manifest from the universe in the column marked “universe,” and in the “me” column she listed what she felt comfortable working on herself. According to Esther, this exercise was extremely effective. And the universe answered every point she wrote, plus her focus was freed up to take care of her action tasks. This is indeed a very powerful partnership!

You can now utilize this exercise yourself, by taking an A4 sheet of paper and write down your action tasks, and those which you feel that you need help from the universal intelligence. What tasks feel to large for you to handle? What parts of your life and work projects are confusing or stressful at present? And what others do you know you’ll handle with no problem? Make sure you “hand write” these tasks on the paper, as the act of writing has magic in it, as opposed to typing. When you’re done, fold the paper up and store it somewhere safe.

You can do this in other ways as well if you don’t particularly like writing things down, for example you could meditate on it, or use self-talk and mental focus to bring the change about. But the best way if you can find your way clear of doing it, is to hand write these points out.

In the long term, it’s not how you list these things out that counts. The point is to gain clarity in your life, know your limits and where you need help. Plus, it also helps you to bring “focus” back into your mind, as we often move so fast in life that we skim over those beautiful little things we take for granted. So by focussing on our goals on a daily basis, we’ll positively move towards manifesting that very thought.

Done on a regular and disciplined basis, you’ll beign to make shifts in your life, which will make living much easier for you. You’ll begin to enjoy your work and life again, and you’ll attract all sorts of synchronistic events and much needed resources into your life right when you need them. This may all be beyond your understanding, but just know that this process truly does work.

Listed below are the seven mental laws that will bring anyone that follows them all the success they desire. Is it that simple? Simple maybe, easy, maybe not. But anything worth having is worth applying some effort to attain. I hope you are able to use these truths to better your life and the lives of those around you. Books and books have been written concerning these laws and you can find some of most powerful ones ever written on the subject

The Law of Control

You feel good about yourself to the extent that you feel in control of your life. When you are working toward a goal that you feel good about and for which you have made a conscious decision to target, your actions support your feelings of being in control of your destiny.

The Law of Cause and Effect

For every effect in your life, there is a definite or specific cause. Change the cause and get rid of the effect.

The Law of Belief

Whatever you believe with feeling, becomes your reality. Whatever your belief system supports is what you become. If you believe with feeling that you will be a success, you will be. The same with failure.

The Law of Expectations

Whatever you “expect” with confidence becomes your self fulfilling prophecy. Not what you want, but what you expect!

Law of Attraction

You are a living magnet and attract whatever is in alignment with your dominant thoughts. Like attracts like and when you are clear about what you want to attract, you will. When you couple your desire with the intensity of feeling that comes with why you want the things you want, it will come.

Law of Correspondence

Your outer world corresponds to your inner world. You must be, rather than do! You cannot have a filthy car, wrinkled clothes and smell while convincing yourself and those around you that what is going on the inside is congruent with your stated desire to be the epitome of outward success.

Law of Mental Equivalency

Your thoughts, vividly imagined and repeated, while charged with emotion become your reality. You create the mental equivalent to what you want and everything else will follow.

What are the keys to making the Seven Mental Laws of Success work?

The first is….

Attitude

Attitude will overcome any obstacle. Attitude will change anyone that uses it and will create an advantage over any other person that doesn’t have the same burning desire and positive attitude. Having an attitude of confidence and of positive expectations will win over superior abilities but poor attitude every time. But, how do you find that positive and unstoppable attitude?

Expectations

Remember, it is not what you want, it is what you expect! Do you expect to find a parking spot close to the door, do you expect to make a putt, do you expect to close a sale or do you expect to be broke, depressed and to never win? What you expect, with intensity of feeling, is what you get. What causes you to have the expectations you have?

Beliefs

If you believe, with all your heart and soul that you will never quit or give up until you reach your goal, you will. If you believe that you have the talent, worthiness and what it takes to achieve what you have set out to achieve, you will. If you believe there is no way you will attain the things you want and that they are only dreams, then that is what they will remain: Dreams. So how do you come to have your beliefs?

Self Concept

What you have been told either directly or indirectly by those that helped to shape you, and what you have chosen to believe about what they told you about yourself, is what you are using to determine who you are. You have a self concept about your weight, your golf game, your singing voice, your income and all the different abilities in each and every area of your life. In other words, you believe you are capable of making changes, of becoming successful, of being highly respected, of being what ever it is you have become.

And the one key element necessary to create the best possible self concept is to love yourself. And loving yourself is not narcissistic self adulation bordering on the unhealthy. It is and has been a part of the wisdoms passed down through the ages. Two thousand years ago it was said to “love your neighbor as you love yourself”. Can you hate yourself and love your neighbor? Of course not.

Try this: Stand in front of a mirror and say fifty to one hundred times, “I like myself” and not smile. You can’t do it. Over and over tell yourself that you simply like you. That is a start and a big one.

The single most powerful way to implement all of the Seven Mental Laws of Success are to control your thoughts, which lead to feelings, which lead to having whatever it is that you want and truly expect.

So, how do you direct and focus your thinking to create positive outcomes that benefit yourself and others, that allow you to become all that you want to be, that lead to you taking total and complete responsibility for your life?

Just as you cannot know where you are going without knowing where you want to go, you cannot begin to empower your brain with the rich and bountiful food it wants and needs to take you to where you want to go unless you provide it with the tools to create the life you want.

Here are the Seven Ways to Create Positive Thinking and Feelings In Your Life

Visualizations

See the way you want your life to be without focusing on what you don’t want. When you say that want to see your life as no longer being broke, what is the focus? But, when you say you see your life as having a full bank account because you now use your talents in a fun, fulfilling and very profitable manner to better the lives of many people, you have a totally different focus.

In your mind’s eye, see your life as you truly want it to be. See it frequently, with vividness, intensity and for a long duration.

Affirmations

Use positive, present tense and personal statements and say them out loud. Say them when you are in a relaxed state so that your subconscious mind will here them. Say them first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. Say things like, “I make $X a year, month, week.”, or “I am happy, content and satisfied with my goals.”

Verbalizations

Write down on index cards and say out loud what you want for your life, what you have visualized, what you truly desire out of life. What you think is the best possible life you could dream of having. Say it out loud as you drive, say it in the mornings, say it with passion, desire and an expectation that it will happen, and then it will.

Act the Part

Keep your behavior consistent with you desires. You cannot be convinced you will be a major success and have it all if you lay under the dirty clothes in the floor of your closet all day. Act like you have already achieved all that you desire because it will not come to you if you are not ready to wear the coat of your desires comfortably.

Feed Your Mind

Listen to tapes as you drive. Read books, attend lectures, target specialized knowledge to acquire in any form you can find it. Do whatever it takes to continue to learn and grow and fill your whole being with positive personal growth oriented information.

Associate with Positive People

If you truly become energized by your desires to better yourself, your family and your position in life; if you truly begin to do what it takes to define your desires and work toward achieving them, you will outgrow those around you that refuse to share and uplift you in your journey. You will be drawn to those that are consistent in their determination to become all that God has intended for them and you will ultimately remove yourself from those that don’t. Being aware of it as soon as possible will only help.

Teach Others

You become what you teach and you teach what you are. Besides, once you have the knowledge, skills and energy that comes from self empowerment, direction and motivation you will want to share the good and positive way of life you know is available to all that choose to seek it.

What this all leads to is that we are personally responsible for everything we create in our lives and the sooner we are willing to accept this, the sooner we become the unstoppable force to create the life, loves and abundance we choose.

The fuel to The 7 Mental Laws of Success and The 7 Keys to Unlocking Them is contained in one word: Goals.

Creating goals that are congruent with your intent, are in the area of your own personal excellence and which utilize your individual and special talents, that are in balance with all areas of your life and reinforce your Major Purpose in life will fuel success, abundance, joy to all things you desire and even to those things you haven’t yet dared to dream.

The 7 Mental Laws of Success and The 7 Keys to Unlocking Them are the secrets to having anything you want in life. Anything. Follow these mental laws and continue to learn, develop and add to your understanding of them and you will truly have whatever you want out of life.

You can put these laws into action by determining what you want to achieve, and by creating the goals, verbalizations, visualizations and every other key to unlocking them.

The Law of Attraction is the most powerful law in the universe. It states that like attracts like. Focus on what you do want – not what you don’t want. If you can eliminate don’t want from your vocabulary, your life will get a lot easier. Whenever you catch yourself talking about what you don’t want, say: Cancel! Cancel! Cancel! And then state what you do want.

Question:

I get the Law of Attraction and I love it! However, I’ve noticed that in the midst of a crisis (break-up, lay-off, health issues, etc.) it can be brutally difficult to stay in attracting energy. How do you recommend applying the Laws of Attraction when faced with negative life circumstances?

Love, Jane

Answer:

Jane – What you’re experiencing is not uncommon. A lot of times individuals pressure themselves, thinking they must always be in a high vibration.

When a bad mood, crisis or awful job hits, it’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole. Back in the day, I used to get mad at myself when I couldn’t stay at a high vibration, because I felt that I should (note: whenever you feel like you should do something, you’re off track – choose what is perfect for you!). Feeling those should’s is definitely not productive and only ensures that you attract more of the same.

Here are a few of my suggestions and an example for pulling yourself out of a mood and back into a higher vibration:

* Read Jerry & Esther Hick’s Ask And It Is Given

They discuss what’s called the vibrational scale of well being. The scale is described as emotional set points, similar to a fuel tank. Emotions can range from depression to joy. It’s practically impossible to go from a negative emotion to bliss.

* Listen to a fun and happy song (right now, I’m loving Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey Rae)

* Reach out to a friend – go have coffee & find out what’s happening in her world

* Dance. It’s an amazing release!

And, when all else fails there’s always – chocolate and shopping!

www.thelawofattractionsecretnow.com Here is my quick review of Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey’s “The 11 Forgotten Laws”. This was by far the most powerful “law of attraction” type teaching I’ve gone through all year. In this product, Bob and Mary lay down some of the most profound laws that relate to the law of attraction, but are not really talked about or taught on much. The product comes in electronic form and is not a mailed physical product. There are I believe 12 CDs worth of material that you can listen to on the site or download and listen to on your computer, MP3 player, etc. I was something I would recommend to a friend even if I wasn’t making a small commission on those who purchase this product, which I am, but seriously, I happily paid the measly ninety seven bucks and gained much more personal value from this than the cost. Try it out for yourself and see for yourself! If, when you get it, it doesn’t live up to your expectations, simply get a refund. It’s a true No Brainer!

7 laws of attraction

“You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.” – James Allen

Your thoughts are the key to applying the 7 Laws of Attraction in your favor. As a Natural Law, the 7 Law of Attraction works all the time – whether you’re aware of it or not. So it’s not so much a matter of applying the Law of Attraction, as it is in becoming aware of this awesome power and how it works.

Like attracts like, or as Abraham, the spiritual voice expressed through Esther Hicks says, “that which is like unto itself is drawn.” What you put out is what you get back. In other words, you attract into your life the things, people, and circumstances that are a vibrational match to your repetitive thoughts.

Here are 7 laws of attraction or 7 secrets for applying the Law of Attraction:

1. Get clear on what it is you want to attract. You must be able to clearly and succinctly describe something you would like to have, become, or do in your life. If your description is fuzzy, your order to the Universe will be muddled. Describe your goal in specific details, and list why it’s important to you.

2. Spend less time thinking about what you don’t want. We all do it, to varying degrees. The trick is to catch yourself and switch gears and focus. Since whatever you think about, you bring about — it’s important to control your mental attention and keep it pointed in the direction you want to go.

3. Imagine yourself in possession of your goal. This is a biggie in applying the 7 Laws of Attraction. Imagine what it’s like to now have what you want. Note the details. Capture the feelings. Explore every facet of it. Get comfortable having your goal. Know exactly how it feels, so when that day arrives, you’ll simply identify what you’ve been expecting all along. Think and act from the position of already having what you want.

4. Engage your senses. Don’t just visualize it. Get a sense of the sounds, scents and tastes you’ll enjoy when your goal is realized. Imagination is enhanced by involving as many of the senses as possible. The more you can experience being in possession of your goal, the more real you make it and more fuel you’re adding to the fire of creation.

5. Feel it at every opportunity. Assume ownership of whatever it is you seek. Get to know how it feels and then mentally stay inside that feeling. Carry on with your life, but do so from this position of power. The more you feel it, it more it becomes a part of you. Revel in it. Know that it’s yours.

6. Look for evidence. Look all around and for proof that your goal is on the way. Accept the Universe as the co-creator in your life and use every shred of evidence to enhance your belief. Pay attention to the subtle messages, whatever format they assume.

7. Believe. It’s crucial to believe that whatever you want can be yours. Keep the faith, hold to the vision. Reshape, refine or recast your goal to suit, but never doubt your ability or the power of the Universe in applying the 7 Laws of Attraction.

Hold to it and you’ll eventually hold what you want in the palm of your hands. When you make the manifestation of your goal the next logical step — that’s when magic happens. That’s where you see results that can often amaze others. But you knew it was just a matter of time. Your thoughts and feelings are the master key to applying the 7 Laws of Attraction.

7 laws of attraction

Whatever thought or feeling you project into the universe, it will be brought back to you. This is the essence of the law of attraction. Breakdown of this law into the 7 Laws of Attraction make understanding and application easier. With these 7 Laws of Attraction, you can succeed in whatever you desire to accomplish.

1. The Law of Manifestation

Think of yourself as a fiction writer. Whatever story you think about in your head – any event – becomes true for your character. The same is true for you. Instead of being at the mercy of a writer, you are the one who writes your own story. You write it just by thinking your thoughts. The Law of Manifestation makes your thoughts real.

So be careful what you “write” – because good or bad, the Law of Manifestation manifests it every time.

2. The Law of Unwavering Desire

If you want something so purely and completely and you believe with all your heart that you deserve it, that you must have it, then you can only be sending out the right vibrations for the universe to receive and send back to you. Let no fear or doubts hold you back.

3. The Law of Delicate Balance

Desperation is a negative emotion; and when you are desperate to have something, you may be sending out the wrong signals. It may seem like a contradiction to Law # 2, where desiring is beneficial to the attraction of positive energy towards yourself; but these 2 cases are different. You must strike a delicate balance between the dream you hope to come true, and living contentedly in the moment. Do not make your goal the singular object of your desire that you neglect all other aspects of your life. Just know that it will happen in time and that, while waiting, you need not be so despondent.

4. The Law of Magnetism

In school we were taught that opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other. Not so in this case. Energy is as pervasive as air. It is all around us, even within us, and we ourselves radiate energy, though often we aren’t even aware of it. But what we must know is that whatever kind of energy we emit—whether positive or negative—is the same kind we attract as it returns to us from the universe. What goes around comes around, as the saying goes.

5. The Law of Synchronization

The universe has much to offer in terms of gifts and gains. These fruits are yours for the taking, if you but align yourself and be in close harmony with the ‘Giver.’ Do not fight the flow or resist the order of things. You are part of a greater whole, not a separate entity; to throw yourself into this realm and bask in it is not only a duty but a birthright.

6. The Law of Universal Influence

Do not take the tiniest of actions for granted. Even the most seemingly harmless of deeds can have influence, for we are all connected and, therefore, what I do affects you to a certain extent, and vice versa. Since you are practically glowing with energy, which vibrates and is carried out into the world, it follows that others will pick up on it and be impacted by it. So exude only the positive.

7. The Law of Conscientious Action

Much like the principle of karma, this Law of Attraction follows the rule, “What you sow, you shall reap.” Carry yourself with dignity and act only in a way that is honorable—to yourself and to others—and the rewards will be plenty.

Try using these 7 Laws of Attraction one day at a time and be amazed at the changes in your life. Everything you have always wanted will come in spades – just like that. And you will find how almost effortless it is to get what you want.

The laws of attraction has been around for some time. Even so, not everyone is familiar with it. There are also a number of those who are a little aware of what it is but have not been able to benefit from it. This may be because they are only superficially aware of the concept but may not really know how it all works. This, more than ever, is the time to discover the true meaning and power of these laws.

1. What it is

The laws of attraction are what you might call universal laws. This means it applies to every single human being on earth, regardless of location, race and personal circumstance. You can therefore be assured that nothing and no one can discriminate against your benefiting from this law.

In simple terms, these laws states that like attracts like. This however, should be understood beyond physical likeness. The laws of attraction specifically points to similar energies attracting each other. It has been proven by numerous individuals that thinking in a certain way will attract occurrences of a similar nature. Hence, thinking positively can attract positive occurrences and negative thinking will attract negative outcomes. These are known as like energies.

2. How to use it

The laws of attraction entailing more than just thinking positively. A positive frame of mind simply implies a general outlook of the universe. These laws should be applied in a deeper, more specific way. To be able to benefit from these laws, you must clearly know and think of what you want. Other believers in these laws go farther by visualizing what they want in the present tense. This is your way of asking the universe to give you your desire. With your clear vision in mind, you have to act as if you already own it. Once you own what you want, you have to prepare yourself to receive it.

One crucial factor in these laws are your ability to let go of all doubts. Some people wonder why they are not able to benefit from these laws when they have religiously followed the steps to using it. It is important to understand that among many individuals, there are always small grains of doubt. Individuals may be aware of these doubts and simply push them to the back or they may be unconscious of them. Doubts about what you want or your right to receive it will undermine the entire process.

3. Mind Power

For a lot of people, letting go of doubts is never simple or easy. Even the most positive thinkers may occasionally experience moments of uncertainty or may hesitate at the moment when their dreams are about to come true. Believing completely in what you want and in the certainty of receiving it may take some practice for some people. If this is true for you, then begin everyday with exercises to strengthen your mind.

Practice every day visualizing what you want and owning it and you will have begun your journey into using the laws of attraction to your advantage.
