The Law of Attraction has been introduced by various people in the media, such as Larry King, Oprah and MSNBC. Actually, the law of attraction is a very ancient system of belief and existence. It dates back to the earliest humans, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, and even the precursors to ancient religions.

Simply put, the law of attraction states that like attracts like. This is a very simplified explanation and in reality, the law of attraction goes much deeper than that. Your very being, including your thoughts, feelings, emotions, actions and everything about you combined acts as a magnet to attract certain things into your experience. Not just physical things, but also events, people and circumstances.

There are many self-help kits, coaches and gurus claiming to be experts on the law of attraction, but in reality, the law of attraction is something that can never be fully learned by anyone. Just when you think you've mastered it at some level, you'll discover a much deeper level beyond it. Also, the law of attraction doesn't just have one rigid way to harness it. It seems that for every individual, there is an individual way to harness the law of attraction, within given parameters.

So that means that what works for one person may not work for you. Alternatively, what has worked well for you may not necessarily work for others. That's why there is so much confusion about the law of attraction. Lots of people have found something that works for them, and think that it is the magic answer for everyone else. So when someone doesn't meet that same measure of success, they start feeling guilty about it or feel that they've done something wrong. Sometimes, things just don't work for every single person on the face of this earth. Sometimes, you have to find your own law of attraction.

One of the best known books that talks about the law of attraction is called The Seth Material, by Jane Roberts. The Seth Material was talked about by Esther Hicks as she channels the Abraham consciousness. It was also spoken about on Oprah's XM Satellite Radio show. Jane Roberts channeled an energy consciousness, which she named ?Seth? in the 60's. Although, ?Seth? does not call it the law of attraction, but he surely does explain how your thoughts and emotions create your reality. He explains how your emotions, visions, and thoughts all combine to create your reality, and how most of us create by default. We react to what is in front of us, thereby creating more of what's in front of us, never realizing that we're actually the key to changing that. It is a very fascinating book. It also touched on subjects that we've only recently discovered through quantum physics, namely the possibility of parallel lifetimes and universes. The Seth Material makes for excellent reading for anyone who is open minded about other dimensions and realities. It is also excellent reading for anyone who wants to know more about how the law of attraction works.
