THE Universe is governed by Law - one great Law. Its manifestations are multiform, but viewed from the Ultimate there is but one Law. We are familiar with some of its manifestations, but are almost totally ignorant of certain others. Still we are learning a little more every day - the veil is being gradually lifted.
We speak learnedly of the Law of Gravitation, but ignore that equally wonderful manifestation, THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IN THE THOUGHT WORLD.
We are familiar with that wonderful manifestation of Law which draws and holds together the atoms of which matter is composed - we recognize the power of the law that attracts bodies to the earth, that holds the circling worlds in their places, but we close our eyes to the mighty law that draws to us the things we desire or fear, that makes or mars our lives.
When we come to see that Thought is a force - a manifestation of energy - having a magnet-like power of attraction, we will begin to understand the why and wherefore of many things that have heretofore seemed dark to us. There is no study that will so well repay the student for his time and trouble as the study of the workings of this mighty law of the world of Thought - the Law of Attraction.
When we think we send out vibrations of a fine ethereal substance, which are as real as the vibrations manifesting light, heat, electricity, magnetism. That these vibrations are not evident to our five senses is no proof that they do not exist. A powerful magnet will send out vibrations and exert a force sufficient to attract to itself a piece of steel weighing a hundred pounds, but we can neither see, taste, smell, hear nor feel the mighty force.
These thought vibrations, likewise, cannot be seen, tasted, smelled, heard nor felt in the ordinary way; although it is true there are on record cases of persons peculiarly sensitive to psychic impressions who have perceived powerful thought-waves, and very many of us can testify that we have distinctly felt the thought vibrations of others, both whilst in the presence of the sender and at a distance. Telepathy and its kindred phenomena are not idle dreams.
Light and heat are manifested by vibrations of a far lower intensity than those of Thought, but the difference is solely in the rate of vibration. The annals of science throw an interesting light upon this question. Prof. Elisha Gray, an eminent scientist, says in his little book, "The Miracles of Nature":
"There is much food for speculation in the thought that there exist sound-waves that no human ear can hear, and color-waves of light that no eye can see. The long, dark, soundless space between 40,000 and 400,000,000,000,000 vibrations per second, and the infinity of range beyond 700,000,000,000,000 vibrations per second, where light ceases, in the universe of motion, makes it possible to indulge in speculation."
M. M. Williams, in his work entitled "Short Chapters in Science," says:
"There is no gradation between the most rapid undulations or tremblings that produce our sensation of sound, and the slowest of those which give rise to our sensations of gentlest warmth.
There is a huge gap between them, wide enough to include another world of motion, all lying between our world of sound and our world of heat and light; and there is no good reason whatever for supposing that matter is incapable of such intermediate activity, or that such activity may not give rise to intermediate sensations, provided there are organs for taking up and sensifying their movements."
I cite the above authorities merely to give you food for thought, not to attempt to demonstrate to you the fact that thought vibrations exist.
The last-named fact has been fully established to the satisfaction of numerous investigators of the subject, and a little reflection will show you that it coincides with your own experiences.
So where do your beliefs come in to the script? Your beliefs are simply another object that you have experienced and put attention on and are now drawing into the action you are observing. Those beliefs are now driving the plot, the scenes, and the characters, the most significant being you and your actions. Notice how we didn't say that they were your beliefs. They aren't yours because they aren't originating from you. Like all the other objects in the movie, they are from outside of you. They are, again, simply objects your parasitic mind has drawn into your consciousness from your experiences. But they are not you.
Beliefs are powerful because of a universal truth that states that thought followed by action equals form. What you believe will manifest. As you've seen, thought creates energy. Focused thought creates focused energy. Focused energy forms the world around you. Your thoughts and beliefs create the experiences that you will have. Remember the saying, "Be careful what you ask for"? You can expand that to, "Be careful about the story the parasitic mind creates with your thoughts and beliefs"!
The universe is poised and ready to respond to your thoughts, whether they are beliefs, doubts, desires, or requests. Good, bad, and ugly, you will get what you allow the parasitic mind to put up on your inner movie screen. That is because of a universal truth called the Law of Attraction, which states that energy attracts like energy.
To explain how energy attracts like energy, imagine a room full of people, each holding a tuning fork for a different note on the musical scale. You walk in with one that matches the C on the scale and cause it to reverberate. All of the forks in the room that match that C will begin to resonate. None of the other keys of the scale will respond. Like attracts like, whatever form the energy takes.
Due to the Law of Attraction, the thoughts you think ' the beliefs your parasitic mind focuses on ' generate energy, which attracts like energy, creating the life you are currently experience.
Look at the people around you in your life right now. Most will look, think, and act in ways that resonate with how you perceive yourself at this point in time. As you grow, some will fall away and others will come in to your life, based on what matches your energy. That is why the people in your life change throughout your life. As you mature and evolve, your energy changes and you attract new friends and acquaintances that reflect those shifts.
If you are active, eat healthy, and are spiritually motivated, you are not likely going to bring people into your life who frequent fast-food restaurants, spend their evenings on the couch watching television, or who don't seem to be on a spiritual path. Your energies don't match. If you are paying attention, you can actually feel in your body a dissonance when you are with someone who isn't a vibrational match to your energy. If the discord you feel by staying in the relationship is uncomfortable, you can make a change. The choice is yours.
Unfortunately, most people wait until that dissonance is unbearable before they make that choice. Why? Because of fear, the most significant belief that stops people from creating change in their life.
