If we learn from everything - and we do - then the more we can experience, the more we can learn. Greed in and of itself is a subjective concept. Olivier,

Because what is enough money? It will be fundamentally different if you live in Africa or America. I want financial independence. I think/believe that for this I need a lot of money. But I indeed struggle with the question whether this is greed or not. That might explain why the attraction is so slow. Olivier.

Perhaps an action isnt always necessary, because sometimes there are things that happen that you can't even explain how it happened. I know, it has happened to me before, therefore, I think that sometimes all it takes is faith in the fact that what ever it is you need will be provided. So I agree that some things do require action and some things don't. Aaron, I think your right.

In fact, that is one of most important things that people need to learn via their LOA education - whether they pay for that education or not. Also, part of the confusion comes in with regard to the example that you gave of what <strong>type</strong> of action to take. It is certainly true that the actions we take need to be in alignment with our goals, but at the same time the universe plays its part by providing opportunities for action that may not always be so obvious. Even getting training/education for a high-paying job is something that seems obvious, but is not always necessary. A high-paying job is something that CAN be achieved - and even kept - without the training and education on the front end, provided that ultimately value is given to the employer or the customers by the person who gets that job. In short, yes, we should act in alignment with our goals, but at the same time we should not always assume that a certain type of action is required. The possibilities to attract success are not only endless, but that success can also come in forms that we could not possibly imagine at the beginning of the journey. Tappie,

It just takes wanting to find it. I guess people have the right to pay for what ever services they want, but I am new to the LOA and I know within myself that it works because of something that I feel on the inside of me and because all of the negative things that have happened to me in the past started off with a negative thought as though I was expecting these bad things to happen and they did. So if it can work with negativity, then it should be able to work with positivity. We just need to change our thinking patterns. I think that people just need help in learning to stay focused and also do the work behind the desire as well. I say that because things dont just magically appear; there is some form of an action that causes things to come to past, and I know that a person can have what they want if they focus on it and do what is necessary to get it. Example: You want a high paying job, but that high paying job requires a bachelors degree, therefore, you set that goal in your mind, focus on doing the things that are required to bring it to pass such as get through college and get a degree, and last but not least, start sending out resumes. This is the act of aligning yourself with your desired goal and making yourself ready to receive it. I would say that there is more to attracting things than just positive thinking and asking for it. A lot of people don't get what they want, because they are not in alignment with that goal. You can't ask for a high paying job and have no credentials, you havent prepared yourself, and you have no education. Even if you got the high paying job with out the credentials and self preparation, you would end up loosing it. This is why being in alignment is very necessary. I believe that we have to do our part and this opens us up to the Universe and it's whole world of possibilities.

The Law of Attraction is just like anything else - there are some people who "get it," and some people who want more information so that they can be more proficient. And yes, you are absolutely right. It doesn't cost a dime to "use" the Law of Attraction - it's working all the time whether or not someone pays for information about how to use it more effectively. In addition, although the LOA is always "on," it doesn't hurt for people to learn about the many different ways that people can create the all-important feelings that power the LOA. For that, some people give away their methods, so people charge for them. The most important thing is - and has <strong>always</strong> been, that we FEEL GOOD. All else pales by comparison. :) Hey, Tappie.

It is something that you can practice from home and for free. Information about it is all over the Internet. So how much money are people really making off of this concept.

It's funny, because in today's day and age, people are looking harder than ever for answers, yet as soon as a system/philosophy/method comes about that might actually work, it gets shot down or taken advantage of before it even has a chance to be proven in the long run. 'The Secret' has become both a 4-letter word, while at the same time being a source of hope and inspiration for so very many people. Everyone sees what they truly <b>want</b> to see in the end! Susan,

The secret will only work with "AFFIRMATIVE ACTION", natural laws will always exist, but with the ability to choose how we perceive we are able to manipulate our environment. Einstein said it best "every action has an equal or opposite reaction". The world will always continue to age with that same process. Whether we believe it or not. There is a universal perception which allows us to function on a basic level that enables us to facilitate our needs and essentially our wants.

It is all about belief. If you don't believe in the Law of Attraction, then it won't work for you. You are also dead-on about people manifesting what they primarily focus on - even if that focus is not deemed by others to be "positive". I talk quite a bit about that in my eBook '<em>Energy Harmonics</em>'. The concept of "good" or "bad" is completely irrelevant because it is all about the point of view of the observer. However, if the observer focuses on something that is good or bad from their unique point of few, they will still get it, even if it is something that they didn't want! I appreciate all of your thoughts, Leo, and I'll keep doing my best to make people think! That's what <b>*I*</b> focus on! :) Leo,

I am glad you are motivating people to THINK, THINK, THINK, one of the hardest things for many people to do. You are doing a great job at motivating them. What amazes me most is that MOST people do not know that the Law of Attraction is simply the Law of Belief, which simply states "What you deeply believe at the Subconscious level, that you materialize in your life", oe "It is done unto you as you believe", "What you believe is what you get" and "What you PREDOMINANTLY FOCUS ON you become materialized as your reality", "Man manifests, at all levels of existence, all his subconscious beliefs". Another amazing thing is that MOST do not really understand this law and how it operates. It is totally impersonal, unbiased. It doesn't care whether you believe in any God or not, It doesn't care whether you operate out of love or pure greed. You don't believe me, huh? EXAMPLE: The "elite' of the so called new world order, a very destructive group, uses very successfully the Law of Attraction to concentrate in their hands most of the wealth, power and control on this planet BECAUSE that is what they PREDOMINANTLY focus on. They believe they deserve that wealth, they know they will get it and they do, they BELIEVE they are entitled to do whatever they want to with their wealth to control and enslave the rest. The Law of Attraction doesn't care. It works in their favor because of what they believe and what they PREDOMINANTLY focus on. On the other side, most people with deeply religious beliefs are suffering lives of limitations and frustration because what they believe and what they focus on! The Law of Attraction is materializing for them all their limiting beliefs, values and rules. The law doesn't care whether one is christian, jewish, muslin, buddhist, etc., etc., etc. The law doesn't care whether one believes in one god, many gods or no god at all. The law doesn't care if one operates out of love or pure, unadulterated greed and love for power and control. The Law indeed operates as if God (or whatever your own conception is ) were holding a MIRROR REFLECTING BACK TO YOU exactly what YOU believe, exactly what YOU predominantly focus on. The ONLY way to control the Law of Attraction and make it work to your advantage is by identifying and eliminating as many limiting, conflicting beliefs, values and rules as you can identify. There is NO other way because the Law of Attraction is activated by the VIBRATIONS of your predominant thoughts acting like magnets. And the THOUGHTS you think, the ones producing the vibrations responsible for activating the Law of Attraction, are in the PREDOMINANT direction of your beliefs, values and rules. The type of beliefs, values and rules DETERMINES what you THINK about PREDOMINANTLY. And these predominant thoughts are causing the vibrations (frequencies) which activate the Law of Attraction (Law of Belief) to attract to you RESULTS that are in perfect HARMONY with your beliefs, values and rules. It is not that complicated once you know all this. Now, the only remaining step is to find the most effective techniques to identify and eliminate the greatest possible number of limiting, conflicting beliefs, values and rules. And then IMPRINT in your Subconscious the TYPE of beliefs, values and rules that will produce the PREDOMINANT THOUGHTS, which in turn will produce the right vibrations (frequencies), to attract into your life what you truly desire.

It's the same in music and film: someone has an idea that has resonance, and becomes successful. Their passion and belief in their work propelled it, but now lesser minds want a piece of all the excitement. Hence the so called "knock-off". But so what? If you have found this to be true in your life, then all of that doesn't threaten you, right? Thanks for writing this article! Yeah, I see it too.

That came out a bit more harshly than I had intended! However, in truth, there is a slight grain of irritation here, because, much like the Law of Attraction, there is so much confusion about how to use some of these tools that their meaning is starting to get lost in the shuffle. This post is my attempt at setting the record straight on one of the most popular systems: Affirmations. [...] [...] OUCH! That came out a bit more harshly than I had intended!

And, in the end, that is pretty cool. Who would have thought this whole time that we could each create our lives like drawing on an Etch-a-Sketch?? ;)~ Thanks for joining the conversation, Belle! Belle,

Yes, there are a TON of blogs that are talking about the LOA now, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, as you indicated, it is funny that people think it is "new" just because it has been so well marketed lately. Eventually the roar will die down and - just like gravity - people will simply start to realize that the LOA works automatically whether they want it to or not. On the other hand, maybe I could start writing ebooks and coaching programs about how to use the Law of Gravity! ;) Karen,

I especially liked your conclusion - that we each should draw our own conclusions. LOA and deliberate creation do require faith and belief on the one hand, but on the other hand, it's easy to put many of the concepts to the test, with small things around which you don't have any resistance.

Yesterday I searched through mybloglog and I was amazed at how many blogs are written about "the secret and the law of attraction". It was just surprising and it seems you have noticed it too. The fact is "the law of attraction" has been written about and studied since ancient times. "the Secret" is nothing new, just well marketed! Nobody argues with gravity. Someday nobody will argue with "the law of attraction"! You always say it well! Thanks Aaron! Hi Aaron,

We always have been - and always will be - our own best teachers! Out of all of the knowledge that I have ever received, it was not by blindly following what I was taught that I achieved success, but rather by comparing those teachings to my own inner-beliefs. Thank you so much for joining in the conversation and sharing your opinions, Andy! Andy,
