Getting the Law of Attraction Working For You

[impaul99]

Since I have seen this issue come up over and over again, I wanted to explain what my take was on the role of "action" as it pertains to the receiving part of the Law of Attraction. I have written an article about it on my blog available here: Getting the Law of Attraction Working for You

I welcome your comments or suggestions if something is still not clear.

Thanks.

It will take me a little time to read... but it is wonderful to see that "take action" is in there near the top.

More comments to come once I've had a real chance to sit and read it.

Acting: That which receives

I once had this dream. I was sitting on a small stool about 6 inches high, and this old and very friendly but vigorous man was sitting on a bigger stool, teaching me some lessons. And he said, ‘you cannot run this world by actions. You can only run it by The Word’. And the dream ended. It took about 2 years for me to fully understand what that all meant. Now I understand it well enough to make it workable. Through experience, testing and a lot of reading, it finally all became simply clear.

This is what it is all about: Actions are the last component of the creation processes. It is a little like swimming competitively. You cannot win the Olympics if you only know how to vigorously thrash water and barely make it from one end of the pool to the other. You are acting, and very strongly. No one will fault you on effort in that pool. You would get full marks on effort, for sure. But the people who win swimming gold medals are the ones that prepare their spirit. Their being is prepared. They are confident, motivated, focused. Their mind is also prepared. Their technique is also prepared. They are rested and alert. And so on. Action in the pool is the most noticeable bit of their total winning package, but it is the final part of their creating that gold medal winning dash.

In your life, although you may not know it, you create your experiences first in your Self, spirit, being, then in your mind, then by your words, finally by your actions. It starts at being then moves on to thinking then to speaking then to acting. In fact, acting only puts into place the system necessary to receive and experience what you create in being, thinking and speaking.

Most people do not focus, nurture and tend to their first three steps of being, thinking and speaking – all they do is work like crazy all day and wonder why they are not ‘successful’. They do not use The Word. The Word refers to the laws of the universe, the way the universe works, on all levels, not just the visible and physical. These laws of the universe are not some commandments of God. They are simply the laws that regulate and enable the universe. These are laws that work not only spiritually, but can also be proven scientifically using quantum physics. The Word, these laws, has nothing to do with a particular religion or person or whatever else – the laws of the universe apply equally and unfailingly to everyone and everything at all time. They never err. These are laws such as the law of cause and effect (called karma or reaping and sowing in spiritual teachings, or the energy conservation laws in science) and so on.

Actions are part of The Word, The Laws of The Universe, but they are only a small component of it. It is important to know what role actions play and how to use them in creating wealth or anything else. Actions are important, for sure, but you must understand that they are the last step. Their role is to receive what you already have created on your other three levels. You create, then you receive your creations, then you experience them. Action is for receiving experiencing. You create a business in your Self, your being, then in your thoughts and words, and then you act to set up a system to receive this business in a manifested physical way so that you can experience it. See? Action does not create. It only receives and experiences.
In fact, when it comes to experiencing, again action does not create the experience – the mind does. Action just helps the mind in ‘doing’ the thing, then the mind decides ‘will I experience this positively, negatively, joyfully, fearfully, fast, slow…’

Know all this and you will stop thrashing about in the pool…

Thank you for this article. It was very useful and your explanations are complete, well-articulated and clear. I had no problem at all understanding what was meant by "action." I think I will even purchase the book.

One thing I would just say...if I dare...cleaning up the grammar and typographical errors would give the text a much more professional and "reassuring" feel, as well as facilitate understanding in certain places. I hope you don't take offense...noticing such things has become an "occupational hazard" for me.

I found the article a great read and it clearly describes what LoA and IM is, and also what it isn't. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me.

Paul's blog article and the David Cameron article do an exceelent job of explaaing the "action" part in manifestation.

Thank you both for those offerings. They sure have cleared up a lot of confusion for me.

Shanti,

Thank you for your feedback. I have absolutely no problem cleaning up grammar or typo's, if I could see them I normally re-read my articles before I post them a few times, but in most cases I'll completely miss the same typo no matter how many times I look at it, until someone points it out, or if I re-read the article like a month after I wrote it. I have no problems finding typo's in other people's stuff, just my own is hard because my eyes skip over the mistake knowing what I want to say in my head already.

If anyone wants to private message me with any typo's or grammar mistakes they find in any of my articles I'll be grateful, not offended.

I agree, it is here that most people get stuck. I used to be a workaholic and used to work 6-7 days a week, sometimes working 16 hours a day with just enough time to come home, eat something and go to sleep. On my day off, if I had one, I'd be thinking about work as well or working from home. I got no major results, and just got frustrated.

Since reading "The Science of Getting Rich" I've implemented "that certain type of action" and have had amazing results.

Since you used a swimming analogy, I'd like to offer one more that I think makes it clear as well. Think of a hockey goalie. Think about the difference between a goalie making $500k/year and a goalie making $10 Million/year, and compare the amount of "action" each take. Pretty much the same amount of action, just everything before the action is different. Different spirit, different mental focus, different desires, different emotions etc. YES you do still have to take action to move the arm to save the puck, but it has to be "that certain type of action", or "efficient action" to be useful.

My favorite type of word for this type of action is "PLAY". It's not "WORK", it's "PLAY". Think about it. Basketball players "PLAY", hockey players "PLAY", baseball players "PLAY", etc. and they make a lot of money. Anyway, just wanted to mention this.
