The Law of Attraction is just a load of Mumbo Jumbo right...?
Scrolling through the endless updates on Facebook I came across – was attracted to, manifested, noticed – a post on Law of Attraction…
The story was that someone on holiday had a fabulous time and didn’t want to go home…
Got to the airport to find the flight was delayed and a connecting flight would be missed so they had to stay for a couple of extra nights at the airline's expense…
Clearly a case of Manifesting and Law of Attraction…
?Clearly a case of disillusioned mumbo jumbo and misplaced causality…
So how does “Attraction” and “Manifesting” work – does it work at all or is everything just preordained and we are simply the victims of fate without the ability for self-determination and choice…?
Sitting here in the wardrobe office of our cottage in the middle of rural France, reflecting on how Lynn and I got here since we met at High School in the 1970’s – I’m going to strongly suggest that we do have a choice, create our own opportunities and to a degree, have control over our destiny…
?Which brings me back to Manifesting…
?So how does it work…?
?I have a number of examples, both personally and professionally where opportunities have miraculously turned up.
?Well here’s how it works for me anyway…
?Let’s say I want to have a Can-Am Trike – I do a bit of research, check out the models and specs, and get an image of the one I’d like to ride along the Corniche from St Raphael to Cannes…
Then, in the same way, the internet will serve up endless adverts associated with my search, I begin to notice Can-Am trikes out on the road, in car parks, or at a local dealership…

?Setting my RAS – Reticular Activating System to a Can-Am trike means I will notice and recognise them at the expense of other vehicles. My subconscious will filter out the junk and show me what it thinks I am looking for…
?Then, I may spot a display, a special offer, an opportunity to ride one or rent one, to get closer to the machine – I will recognise these opportunities that otherwise I would have ignored if they had been filtered out for me…
?So the Law of Manifesting doesn’t mean if I visualise a Trike it will just appear on my drive, it means I will recognise and identify those opportunities above all others that will move me towards the achievement of the objective.
?My job is to simply follow the breadcrumbs laid out for me, say yes to the opportunities, and allow the process to continue.
“What you choose to focus on will become manifest to you…”
?This happens in business, life, relationships, and bank accounts.
?Too many people focus on what they don’t want, what they don’t like, what they want to avoid – so guess what shows up in their lives – lots of opportunities to not do stuff…
?Instead, focus on what you DO want and opportunities will start to appear to move you towards it…
?Be careful what you wish for…??
?Have a great week…
Best Regards
David

Well described, David! I think the ‘Mumbo Jumbo’ happens when the illusion is that imagination can replace intention and action. Imagination manifests fantasies in the mind, intention and action manifest in the real world.
