Law of Attraction ....

[OneCoachDoug]

What are the last 6 letter's in this law? ACTION! If you are out there, manifesting your life, then you're far ahead of most people IMO. However if you're just working on your affirmations and sitting on your butt, then you're missing those six letters. Not only do you need to attract what you want, but you can speed up the process by taking action towards what you want. Don't be affraid to take risks to get it either.

Any thoughts?

[Acting Like Godot]

Yes.

All deliberate actions that you take towards any goal are merely an expression of your thoughts.

Suppose you had a goal. To achieve that goal, you planned a budget, held two meetings, ordered some equipment, signed up for a course, called three people, sent four faxes and flew to another city.

None of those actions would have happened if you were an unthinking vegetable.

First get your thoughts in order, and the rest will follow. Whether through your own actions, or by other means, or a combination thereof.

Where thought goes, action follows.

If that thought was not in order in the first place, we will take actions that will sabotage our efforts in getting what we want.

In fact, everything you do, every moment you are alive, even if you are dead, you are DOING something, an action, there is a verb involved.

So action is an inevitable factor in the whole formula. It is an indicator of sorts - if what you're doing is not taking you to what you think you want, then what you had thought of and intended for was not in order in the first place, it was not clear.

For example, let's say that I want to manifest a juicy red apple sitting on my desk.

If I just visualize that while laying in bed then it will probably not happen.

Now, if I get up, go to the store, purchase an apple and then go to my desk and place the apple there then voila!

I successfully manifested a juicy red apple sitting on my desk.

Law of Attraction in ACTION.

[Enoch Tan]

Action is the means by which we experience the manifestation of our desires. We are the channels by which the process of manifestation occur through because the universe creates through us. It is a joy to be part of the manifestation process physically and seeing things happening through us as we watch ourselves create them. Taking physical action allows us to feel the joy of being a creator of reality as the work happens through our hands. That is why we are meant to enjoy the work of creating.

When you know the reason that manifestation in the physical universe happens through physical action is so that you can enjoy the experience of being physically part of the creation process, you will feel good about it and enthusiastically act out your dreams. Why would you want to avoid doing the work necessary for creating what you desire? You would love doing it because you want to be part of the process of manifestation. You want to be involved and immersed in the experience of creating reality.

Action is not always necessary, and often impossible (depending on your intention).

If everything in your life depended on your personal action, then it must be a very small, limited life indeed.

The belief that your action, and your action alone, is sufficient and necessary for the fulfillment of any of your intentions, limits you to choosing intentions where your action, and your action alone, is sufficient and necessary for their fulfillment.

In truth, there is no "action" that you can take, even to fulfill some ordinary, everyday thing like the growth of your toenails or the digestion of food in your intestines, but it happens anyway.

The Law of Attraction is called the Law of Attraction for a reason - if that reason did not exist, it would be simply called the "Law of Doing".

I do not imply that the "Law of Doing" cannot lead to the accomplishment of great things. But I do say that the Law of Attraction is something more than the Law of Doing.

Action, or doing, is perfectly fine if you are happy to perform the action or doing, and if it does not have any adverse consequences, such as causing you anxiety, exhaustion or stress, or consuming personal resources (such as time and energy) which you would rather utilise elsewhere.

I'll take your word for it.

There are other interesting accounts, however, of incidents such as Jesus manifesting bread and fish to feed 5,000 people; and of Said Baba manifesting a variety of objects (such as watches and jewelry) out of thin air. (I actually know a doctor who travelled to India for the first time and met Said Baba. Said Baba handed him a watch which he had previously owned, and had earlier lost, one year ago.)

If you go through this forum, you'll find smaller, less dramatic examples of people manifesting quite a number of different things themselves. Not much "action" necessary.
