Books on the Law of Attraction

By Remez Sasson

New books and new articles about the law of attraction are published almost every day. They grow like mushrooms, because everyone wants to take part in this “new fashion”. This puts the readers in a difficult position, not knowing which book to read and which book or article to believe. Not all books are equal and not every book is really useful.

To write a manual or guide on any subject, one should have practical experience with the subject. It is not enough to read a few books and then to consider oneself as an expert. One, who writes a book on medicine or on engineering, has to be qualified to write on this subject. He or she have studied and gained experience, but it is different in the field of “the law of attraction”, where anyone can write a book and try to sell it.

According to the advertisements, many writers on the subject promise miracles in a short time, and with almost no effort on the part of the reader. Does the law of attraction really work in such a way? Can you really achieve great success, just visualizing a few minutes a day?

Can you say that successful people have achieved their success by just thinking a few minutes a day on what they wanted, and did nothing else? No, they didn’t just visualize 2-3 minutes a day and waited for miracles to happen. They put a lot of time and effort into achieving their success.

If you follow the rules of creative visualization, you can achieve a lot, but you will have to focus your mind on your goal, it must be very important for you, and you should be willing to do whatever is necessary, besides visualization.

Though many authors promise great success and wealth by following their techniques, not everyone becomes a millionaire, and not everyone wants to be a millionaire. Most people want just a comfortable, happy and healthy life, not unusual success, and that’s okay.

How many really and truly desire to be a tycoon, great businessmen, a president or a prime minister? Most people desire a better home, a better car and some money in the bank. Just a little knowledge about the law of attraction and about creative visualization is not going to change their preferences, desires and goals.

Few people really want all the responsibility, work and effort required to live the life of a tycoon or a businessman.

Money and possessions are important, but so also are happiness, health, inner peace and spiritual awareness.

Anticipation and the Law of Attraction

By Remez Sasson

When you have a certain desire or goal, do you anticipate it to be fulfilled, or do you let doubts fill your mind?

Anticipation is important when working with the law of attraction, because anticipation works like a magnet, attracting your desire or goal toward you.

What is anticipation?

It is more than hope. It is the certainty and faith that what you desire is going to happen right now, and feeling the pleasure the fulfillment of your desire is going to give you. It is a state of mind of expectancy, of expecting your goal to be accomplished, and seeing no other option than success.

How did you feel during the day, when you had a date in the evening or a party?

How did you feel during the the week before you went on a vacation? You most probably were in a mood of expectancy and anticipation. You already felt the fun you were going to enjoy.

While visualizing your goal, try to be in the same mood of anticipation and expectancy. This will make your desire more magnetic, and will trigger the law of attraction into action.

Anticipation of something to happen, triggers your subconscious mind to attract it into your life.

The Power of Mental Images

By Remez Sasson

What is a mental image? It is mental picture, scene or event that you see in your mind. You construct mental images in your mind all the time, albeit unconsciously. The mental images that you often visualize affect your life, whether you are aware of this or not. I am not talking mental images that you visualize once or twice, but about the mental images that you often repeat in your mind.

Mental images have the power to change your life. The subconscious mind accepts these images as reality, and gradually you start to believe what you imagine, act accordingly, and unconsciously work toward making them a reality in your life. This is the secret of the law of attraction creative visualization.

Mental images, if repeated often can make great changes in your life. If you visualize negative situations, difficulties and problem, and continue doing so, your moods will gradually become negative, you will alienate people, you will close your eyes to opportunities, and your self-esteem will go down. How can you achieve success if you are so negative?

On the other hand, successful people attract success, because they constantly imagine and expect success.

Mental images are like a movie or still pictures that you see in your mind. If you watch them again and again your subconscious mind will ultimately accept them as you reality. They will affect your thinking, behavior and world.

The Law of Opulence

By Remez Sasson

Richard Ingalese, in his book History and Power of Mind used the term The Law of Opulence. This is what now people call “The law of Attraction”, and though this book was first published more than 100 years ago, you can see that there is nothing new under the sun, only different labels for the same subject.

Opulence means plenty, wealth and riches, but this is not restricted only to money. There can be opulence of love, opulence of happiness, opulence of peace and other states of opulence.

The law of opulence is the mental law of success. Through this law people attract things, people and events into their life. In the above-mentioned book The History of Mind, Richard Ingalese says:

“If you have no possessions, then it is because you have not used the law of opulence for your own benefit. It is a well-known fact in Occultism that everyone has now just what he deserves, and this is as true relative to opulence as it is to spiritual and mental qualities.”

Richard Ingalese further says that to put the law of opulence into operation it is necessary to realize three things:

1. That everything you want exists now in Divine Mind.

2. Realize that all things belong to Deity and that you can only have temporary use of them.

3. We should realize that all things are distributed by the Universal Consciousness according to law. One man is not poverty-stricken and another man a millionaire by chance, fatalism or caprice; but everything is distributed according to the law of mental demand or of asking and receiving.

How do you put the law of opulence into operation in your life?

- You need to know what you want.
- Possess strong desire
- Possess strong faith that you can get what you want
- Repeat affirmations
- Visualize your goal
- You need some degree of concentration
- You need patience
- You need persistence

The law of opulence, the law of attraction, creative visualization and other similar terms are different labels for the same subject.

The following books can help you put the law of opulence into operation:

The Secret and the Law of Attraction

By Remez Sasson

“The Secret”, and many other similar books or films are great for inspiration and for creating expectations. They also awaken the belief that one can change his/her life and achieve success, yet this is not enough. A beginner might create some minor success, but in order to make real changes and create greater success, more understanding, information and skills are required.

In order to use the law of attraction successfully, you need to know what to do and how, and not every book provides this information. You also need to know about the obstacles you might encounter, both inner and external, and how to deal with them. It is not enough just to feel elated after reading or watching a movie, and though these feelings are important, more is required for success. Too often, inspiration and elation wear out after a while, and then you either feel disappointed, forget about what you have read, or if you still desire to take advantage of the law of attraction, you might not know what to do next.

The law of attraction works everywhere in nature, and also in personal life, but one has to know how to use it correctly. Before achieving any kind of success, you have to be clear about what you want to do or achieve, and you have to acquire the necessary qualifications. It is also useful, especially with big goals, to develop some degree of concentration ability, visualization, perseverance, willpower and self discipline, but very few books speak about this and tell you how to do that.

Here are a few recommended books:

Mind Power: The Secret of Mental Magic by William Walker Atkinson

Practical Guide to Creative Visualization by Osborne Phillips

Manifesting Your Heart’s Desire by Fred Fengler and Todd Varnum
