Law of Attraction

The Universe is governed by some rules which are also called laws of nature. Knowledge about these laws was given in the religious texts that were revealed from time to time, whether it was Geeta, Hebrew Bible, Bible or Quran. Moreover, some philosophers, thinkers thought about these laws and wrote about them based on their understanding of these laws. Some of their writings were based on empirical evidence of their times. Even scientists agree that there is a pattern in the universe and there is a higher force or a system that governs life and phases of life.

Scientific laws of gravity, inertia which were discovered, documented and explained during the last 200 years. Whether we know about these laws or not, the law is at work, for example everything on the planet earth is pulled towards it by the force of gravity, but Newton reflected and discovered the gravitational force. Similarly, there is a very important law known as “Law of Attraction”, this means that we get what we attract, just like a magnet would attract metal. During the last century this concept was explained with the help of many movies, books, novels and courses. Some of these courses are very expensive and there is an increased commercialization. The basic philosophy behind this literature and courses is the idea that we can get what we want, but it would require effort in understanding these laws and using our human faculties to have a quality life.

The journey from a non-believer to a believer about this law requires evidence and reflection on our past. We are conditioned by our society, education, experiences either consciously or subconsciously. Several experiments and researches are available which prove that our thoughts, feelings and vibration shapes our reality and the outcome is dependent on the quality of thoughts. For instance, a person fearing that he would get infected with COVID-19 is likely to get it, because these thoughts are going to weaken his or her immune system. A person thinking that the task would be difficult is likely to face obstacles because that’s what he thought about. A person who decides to remain happy and composed is likely to get what he wants, because this is the message that he or she is sending to the universe.

In order to understand more about these laws, the following resources will be extremely useful. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
