When mind is use over matter

Our mind is very powerful in attracting the things that we want to have as the law of attraction states. Do you often use your mind to find answers to your question or to get the things that you want to have. Did you find it effective?

Thinking something will not

Thinking something will not suddenly make the cosmos provide it to you, no matter how bad the New Thought movement wanted that to be a true facet of reality.

Thinking positive thoughts

Thinking positive thoughts might have some placebo effects, but this law of attraction is nothing more than a superstition with fancy window dress.

Well that works out to an average of 54 miles/hour. Which seem well within the capabilities of a car, plane, or helicopter.

How can we confirm the accuracy of your account? How can we tell it has more merit than say claims in the bible, UFO abductee stories, or claims of those who talk to god?

Does it mean that the law of attraction is not powerful or fake?

I tried this out once, and to

I tried this out once, and to test it I used the concept to attract the answer to something I thought would never happen. I gave it 24 hours and in the end when the time was just about up it the answer was offered by someone sitting next to me at a dinner one of those 24 hour food places.

A few things should be noted, constantly thinking about it and envisioning the idea made a few things happen. One, it made me more aware to keep looking for the opportunity for what I was seeking so it was less likely opportunity would pass me by as I was constantly on the lookout for it. Two, it made me work at finding what I wanted. Three, It made me broadcast what I was looking for both mentally and vocally, in the end vocally paid off though the person I was talking with was not the person who answered the question I sought the answer for.

A video started circulating the web referring to "The Secret" as it was called in this video many things were implied like all you had to do was want something and use positive thought, constantly envision it, and want it an the world would provide you with it. Make dream board and visit it daily to keep the thoughts in your mind and even if all you wanted was checks in the mail eventually they would begin to appear doing nothing more than using the power of positive thought. I was annoyed by people reaction to this many lazy people were very excited as they for a short period thoughtthis was their ticket to success and fortune with little effort, I would ad one thing to this concept to make it work that lazy people will not want to hear, If you use positive thought (which is a subject "The Secret" touches on and it for in and of itself), envsioning your goal and keeping it in front of your thoughts (the general idea behind the so called "law of attraction" (which is really just a concept which shares its name with another law that works differently) an positive action (which means working for it) you can get and or achieve almost anything you want to but you must be realistic about it.

However, that said just because you think an idea is not real does not make it so. do dream wildly, dream big, you'll never know what you can achieve until you put your mind (mental devotion) body (physical devotion) and soul (time of your life) towards it.
