Do you believe in the Law of Attraction? I do, and I think it is very understandable once you come to understand universal consciousness, which is “non-local mind” to scientists and God to religious people. But there are many people who think it is “hogwash” because they have no basis for relating to it.
I have experienced the amazing powers of the law of attraction, and there are a large number of people who have documented stories of manifesting or miracles of all kinds. Many, of course, are related to spontaneous healings of cancer and other serious diseases.
One of my own stories has to do with my wife who was disabled for about 10 years with near-continuous migraines. With my research into wholeness, I discovered that I could send her thoughts (images) that really healed her if I thought of her as within me – that is inside my consciousness. After I began doing that daily, within a very short time she suddenly found a new doctor who was more positive and helpful. And soon after that, one of the pharmaceutical companies discovered a medication that helps prevent migraines. It worked for her, and I got my wife back and she got her life back.
If you want to read about stories of manifesting, I have the book for you. Right now I’m reading a new book when I find a little bit of time – usually a little before bedtime… Mind to Matter by Dawson Church. It is a very well written book, and the subtitle of the book is “The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality”. It covers most of the science that is now beginning to explain how thoughts become reality, and that science is very diverse and spanning many different fields of science. The book is a fascinating read.
Now there are stories in the book that are about energy healing. You might think that that is very different than the law of attraction which is based on our thoughts. But thoughts are a form of energy, and I believe that as thoughts (a form of conscious energy) pass from pure consciousness, outside of space and time, into the field of reality they become subtle energy and active in the process of conscious creation. As Church says, electromagnetic and energy fields are everywhere. So energy healing can be called a kind of manifesting.
If you would like to learn about how to manifest, I can recommend a couple of good books to you. For those of you who know of Mike Dooley and his famous “Notes from the Universe” emails, he is well known for his use of the phrase “thoughts become things”, which I used for the title of this post. He has several relevant books on the subject of thoughts becoming reality. I would recommend Leveraging the Universe which is a very fun read.
I would also recommend The Awakening Course by Joe Vitale. In it, he ties the manifesting process to his 4-stage process of awakening and to his ideas about becoming an awakened (spiritually enlightened) millionaire. Basically, it helps to have a framework or model of reality that supports your thoughts and manifesting power, and that’s what this book gives you. It’s a great book.

What does God think? Shouldn’t we just say Thank You Lord for such and such” in faith? before you receive?
Hi Kelly,
Interesting question… what does God think? Lots of people would probably be quick to answer what they think God should think. In my experience, God is pure love and wants people to understand that they are creating (co-creating with God) all the time, and things can get magical when people finally get to a level of insight into that.
But my answer to your second question is based on my experience in trying to be aware of my thoughts / intentions and observing what results. I’ve observed that when my intention is focused and clear, such as holding the intention of love, what I experience immediately after that is the uplifting state, feeling, and experience of love. The intention of love results in the physical expression of love felt in the body. If I hold the intention of hate, I feel the constrictive, totally negative state, feeling, and experience of hate. If I hold bigger more complex intentions, I feel bigger, more complex feelings, and experiences resulting from my intentions.
My conclusion is that God (Universal Intelligence) attempts to bring your intentions into your experience. So, as you say, having faith in advance is an important attitude. Not having faith is saying you don’t believe you’ll get the results you want, and that’s what you get – more of not having. And the big problem for a majority of people is that they have not been taught by anyone how to control their thoughts and intentions and even how to pay attention to what they are experiencing, and especially the cause and effect – thoughts and results of their thoughts.
I purposefully did not go into all of this in this particular article, but I do plan to do so in another article or probably multiple articles spread out. Actually, I’ve been holding off awhile because I’ve been having some new breakthroughs in understanding manifesting at a new level. It is interesting what Joe Vitale has to say about how manifesting changes at different levels of awakening.
Thanks, Kelly, for commenting. I appreciate it a lot.
God bless,
Ray
I have had my license and just don’t have the money for a vehicle so I have been “obsessed” with angels and trying to manifest… but then I heard a voice saying “instead of LOA trust ME instead”. So that is why I was confused about what God thinks of LOA?
You are challenging me to boil it down to the basics for you. First, know that God is the power behind LOA. But I think God is telling you not to get bogged down in the mechanics of it all (intention, gratitude, etc.).
Since you have a relationship with God, I want you to relax peacefully into God’s embrace. If you meditate, you might meditate first because when your mind is quiet, you become closer to God – individual being to Divine Being without your mind getting in the way. If you do not meditate, then simply quiet your mind as much as you can and allow your inner self to move into deep presence with and trust in God.
Know that God is very loving and God has no limits… when you are quietly in God’s embrace, you have only to allow a car to come into your life. Don’t think about anything else, simply allow the car to come to you in this moment. Trust in God to work out the details. And stay in that quiet feeling of trust as long as you can, and then carry that knowing and trusting into your everday life.
Now, it is unlikely that a car will be delivered to you with a big bow on it. Instead you must be very open and alert to synchronicities that are messages from God about ways more money might come to you for buying a car. Who knows, someone might be giving an old car away. Or you might be pointed to a job that pays more money. It can happen in many different ways, so be open to possibilities, and know that God will work to bring a car into your life. But you have to continuously carry the trust that God will help you and be open to your intuition about what to do. Don’t put limitations on it. If you have to get an old car, that will simply be a stepping stone to something else.
I hope this helps. I know that you will get a car.
Thank you! (smiley)
