“The Law of Attraction is B.S.” .…
They were the first words out of the mouth of one my clients last week. She was frustrated and upset when I spoke to her on the phone. I think that’s a place we’ve all been at some stage, don’t you?
She went on to say “It should be called The Law of ‘Opposites because everything I want I get less of, and everything I don’t worry about I can manifest really easily”.
I said to her, “It sounds like the law of attraction is working perfectly for you!”
There was a deafening silence on the end of the phone.
I was about to either be verbally butchered 
, or she was having a major breakthrough.

During that silence, which seemed like an eternity, it occurred to me that we really should call it the “Law of Opposites”.
The Law Of Opposites
We’ve all heard the stories about the couple who want to start a family and can’t. After years of trying they stop, they let go and enjoy how truly great their lives are. Then WHAM.…. A couple of months latter they’re pregnant.
Or what about the person who is pursuing a corporate career, fighting hard for every promotion, making large sacrifices and doing everything they can to get to the next level. At some point they release the idea, realizing it’s not worth all the energy. They let go and take in just how beautiful things are already in their life. Then WHAM.… They start getting more promotions, quicker and easier than they have ever had before.
These types of stories abound, and they are not urban myths. I’ve personally experienced both of them, and I know many others who’ve done the same and much more.
Focus On What’s Awesome In Your Life
What’s happening when “you let go”, is you’re shifting your focus from “what’s not right in your life” to “what’s awesome in your life”. You still feel there are some things that would be nice to have, but your key focus is on “what’s awesome in your life”.
As soon as I wrote that last paragraph, I could hear some of my clients screaming “STOP RIGHT THERE! It’s too easy to say that, and extremely hard to do when your heart has just been broken, or when you have nowhere to live and a mountain of debt, or you’ve been trying for years to start a family with no success.”
How do you focus on what’s awesome in your life under those circumstances?
Turning The Law Of Opposites Into The Law Of Attraction
Well I’ve been in every one of those circumstances and I know the pain that goes with them. And I also know what takes the pain away, what makes letting go really easy and what turns the “law of opposites” into the “law of attraction”.
It’s an absolute belief beyond doubt and a complete trust that the universe will deliver. It’s like breathing, you don’t have to think about it, you don’t have to worry about it, you trust it will happen and it does happen. It’s exactly the same with consciously manifesting anything, you don’t worry about it, you don’t even have to think about, you just need to trust that it will happen and it does happen.
Getting that trust and belief in the universe to deliver, begins with yourself, you are part of the universe, and the universe is part of you. The ‘trick’ is in believing in yourself and trusting in the universe to deliver. Because doubting either of these things will stop you dead in your tracks from consciously manifesting whatever you desire.
Real, conscious manifesting begins with your beliefs about yourself. That’s the place to start. When you have faith in yourself, then there is a congruency between the universal energy and your energy, a vibrational alignment. And it’s this alignment that works to fulfill all your desires.
But there’s a catch…
The First Step To Go From “Knowing” To “Doing It”
See, “knowing” what to do and actually “doing it” are two very different things. Knowing that you need to have this absolute belief in yourself, and, therefore in the universe so as to invoke a vibrational alignment is one thing — actually feeling that is another whole different story… You need to implement this concept into your reality if you’re going to make some real change.
One great first step I recommend is to make use of one of your greatest resources — and its free! It’s your close friends.
Call one of your close friends and ask them if they would like to have a mutual “what’s awesome in your life” session. Write down all the things that are awesome in your friend’s life, and they do the same for you. When you meet, you tell your friend all the things you wrote down and why you think they are awesome. Then your friend does the same for you. Remember: no judgment, don’t offer any helpful suggestions or ideas for improvements, this is just about only what’s awesome and why.
You’ll be amazed at all the wonderful things that you already have and just take for granted. Some things, which you see as negatives, when viewed through someone else’s eyes may actually be positives. Remember, these awesome things are in your life because you attracted them, not because of good luck, or any other external influence you can think of, it’s all you.
Welcome those feelings with open arms, don’t reject them, they are a gift and it’s insulting to not accept such a beautiful gift.
You’ll also be cementing an even greater relationship with your close friend.
That’s an awesome first step to changing what you believe about yourself.
Mind Technology To Bypass The Conscious
Another great step is to consider all the latest advances in mind technology these days, which are designed to rapidly turn your dreams into realities and results. Right now, it’s never been easier. It all begins by changing how you feel about yourself, and you can significantly speed up that process by taking advantage of the latest tools and techniques available to you.
I remember a time when I had a huge fear of public speaking. Using some of the latest technologies brought that to an end within one week. That’s right, one of the biggest fears that many people have, gone within a week. In fact, it’s so gone that only a few weeks ago I was standing on a stage in front of over 300 people and to build the energy in the room, I was dancing (another fear I had) to ABBA of all things (this was a seminar, not a nightclub). That’s how powerful these techniques are.
Subliminal Video Messaging
In my personal and professional experience, the easiest of these new mind expanding methods (especially when you’re starting out), would have to be Subliminal Video Messaging — mainly because you can watch these videos on your own without any sort of learning curve, and it only takes a few minutes each day.
In a nutshell, the powerful affirmations behind subliminal videos “by-pass” your conscious mind and work directly with your unconscious (where all of your beliefs are stored), making them incredibly effective to create rapid positive change in the areas you most desire.
The good news is Noel Jones has just released a completely astonishing set of subliminal videos called the “Success Accelerator” Subliminal Video Series. These videos use the latest in media technology to ensure the messages are delivered at the best speed to make effective change. They also incorporate the latest learnings about subliminal affirmations, which in fact need to be created using different rules to normal affirmations.
Subliminal Affirmations
Here’s an important tip: if you are just using “normal” affirmations in subliminal videos, they will not work as effective as they could be.
Noel also provides some of the best customer support I’ve ever seen on the internet and he is dedicated to seeing as many people as possible breakthrough their barriers to have all that they desire in their life. That’s why he’s offering a sample of one of his new videos for you to begin making the change.
I’d really like to hear your thoughts about the “what’s awesome in your life” exercise or any other comments you might have. So please don’t hold back, ’cause I’d like to know what’s awesome about this article

Oh — My client, she did have a breakthrough during our session! In fact I just got an email from her this morning letting me know that her inner voice has started to say “you really are blessed and beautiful”. I certainly wish the same results for you.

Actually, I would call it the law of tensors; it’s like a bow where you stress it, pull back, then finally let go. In the brief time of letting go, we step back and appreciate the work we put in. We accept and trust our marksmanship as the arrow finds it’s target.
“Law of Opposites” suggests kicking your boss in the butt and expecting a promotion, so I prefer “Law of Tensors.”
The concept of the Law of Opposites is the first thing that makes me realize the concept of the Law of Attraction.
Keep it coming !
This is such a wonderful way of explaining this concept of the law of attraction. It makes a lot of sense and I can even attest to this.
I can also recommend to start applying in to small things. I did some tickets to a play I wanted to see. I affirmed that I wanted it and I said I am going to receive it and i know that I don’t need to worry about how. I ended up getting 12 tickets to the play.
I am currently on my third major concert I have really wanted to go to and just trusted with ease that the universe would deliver.
It works everytime and you hit the nail on the head with this one,
“You have to believe in yourself and the key to believing in yourself is experiencing the knowing that you are part of it all”
Be the flame not the moth
I really loved this article!
Was thrilled about access to the subliminal video but it lagged from the first play. Cues up and cuts both audio and video. Since this does not happen with another video — here or from other sites — , I am open to any tips about how to best see this. Thanking my friends (I haven’t yet met) in advance.

Oh a friend used to tell me to be the matador, not the bull. I like the flame moth one a lot.’
Opposites! Check this 30 sec video out..

God Bless Helen H. who inspired me to enter . I will share your article with everyone, nice perspective! Finer minds ROCK!
You wrote that, “if you are just using “normal” affirmations in subliminal videos, they will not work as effective as they could be.”
What do you mean by this?
Thank you,
Mark
I am blessed to have found Finner Minds and this article. I was in a very dark place for a while and could see no light. This has put me back on course and has changed my mind set. Thank you so much Light and Love to All
Hey Mark,
The affirmations used in subliminal videos need to be short to be most effective. Its appropriate that sometimes only one word is needed. The subliminal message activates a schema (A structure in your mind that represents a particular aspect of the world), which in turn causes a shift in behavior. A continual shift in that behavior will result in a belief change. In addition, the subliminal messages bypass your conscious mind and independently result in belief changes, with consistent use (twice per day for two weeks, however the longer you use them the greater the impact).
I hope that helps.
Warmly
Richard
Thank you for the video, for the report and for your article, which is really inspiring. Looking forward for more to come
there is no law of attraction. everything is already around you waiting for you to open your eyes and see it. you do not attract it, you focus your mind and finally see it!
Brilliant article, really well explained.
The point that resonated most: “It’s an absolute belief beyond doubt and a complete trust that the universe will deliver.”
True that my friend! At first I thought I was deluding myself by “being grateful” for earning £15,000 a month when I was earning 5.
Somehow, after MONTHS of repetition of convincing myself it WOULD manifest, somehow, I totally let go and concentrated on living an awesome life. Lo and behold, within months I had trebled my earnings, whilst working in sales only three days a week. After 3 months of this, I reached my “escape the rat race” savings target and quit my job to concentrate on my entrepreneurial activities. I’m 25 and I’ve got enough cash to get me by for a year whilst I build my own businesses. Needless to say, I’m absolutely gobsmacked.
I say this not to boast, but to demonstrate just how blown away I am by this LoA stuff. Next, I’ve decided on something much bigger to ask for… And I’m convinced it’s manifesting now. Seriously convinced.
All I’d say to all those struggling is — KEEP TRYING — as soon as you convince yourself it’ll work, you’ll hit the jackpot. It really is so easy it’s untrue. The less you care, the more it will work! I kid you not!! Boom!
I am going to try that and see how it works out,I’ll be in contact
with the results.
LOA or LOO either one of them do not matter if you have not prepared yourself using Due Dillegence and Research as well as obtaing information about the subject matter. At 73 I am living life to the fullest. The last 10 years I have spent 150 days a year in Bangkok with my own year around apartment. Believing in myself beause I was able to go back to obtain a Bachelors Degree at the age of 45 with just a 9th grade education to help me accept the fact that now I have the credential that others favor as a measurement of your intelligence. What BS. You only have to please yourself and not others. Your are who you are and nothing more. The rest is up to you to seek out the method necessary to accomplish your goals. The information that I needed to obtain completing the required projects to get reasonable grades in the subjects opened another world to me and helped me realize that I already was using the Law of Attraction in my life without knowing it. Remember “If you fail to plan You plan to fail” quote not my words. Bill Capen a successful Entrapenuer
It sounds good, I will be glad when I arrive. So long waited for It must . it will come.
Excellent article Richard! “Focus on What’s Awesome in Your Life”…what a great idea and concept to grasp. I would imagine that thinking about that one brief but powerful sentence and contemplating on it daily would do wonders to raise one’s vibration to higher and higher levels until “Attraction” becomes automatic and effortless.
What’s Awesome in my life?
Being in the best shape of my life in my forties and
still getting better, faster and stronger everyday.
Awesome!
So what’s Awesome in your life?
Well you certainly make sense and with words that are down to earth, thank you so much it has really helped my perspective on my life and who I really am and what I can be capable of.
Really great.
What I find is that it’s not always quite so simple. One has to learn to ‘truly’ leave behind the initial fear or attempts to attract better things seem to just fall by the way side and nothing materialises. A reasonable amount of effort is sometimes needed in focusing on the abundance we ‘do’ have and realising that it really is only fear (which doesn’t actually exist outside of our own heads…) that is keeping us trapped in a place of negativity. Once you can move past that and accept on a deeper inner level that we make our own destiny and we really can attract good things into our lives, it becomes a lot easier. It’s not enough to have a surface level of understanding and attempt to attract on that basis; you have to believe it much deeper. The strange thing is, once you believe on a deeper level, thoughts and existence actually become amazingly light
great idea
I am loving seeing so many minds looking to higher knowledge. I must say that any use of the law of attraction is at the base a belief in your soul. The only way to use the soul well is to understand how god wants us to use our souls of his purpose. Combining modern psychology with buddhism and the bible, any other religon or great thinkers idea, is the only way for a soul to move towards perfection. Love and light, in peace is right.
Seek the laws of god, with the understanding of the power of the soul. Or you may cause yourself and others harm. Good luck to all.
I have to agree with many of your observations Richard as to the fact that before new overt behaviors appear, overt changes must take place within the inner man. Also, we should, actually must, take a close look at who, what, and where we are with and in our lives.
Further, I certainly agree with your comments regarding the individual and the universe. As for things going from the position of “opposites attract” to “similar or like personalities ‚experiences, etc”, the one thing I can’t agree with is that once an individual realizes that no matter how hard they try, no matter which tactics they employ, plan of attack, or path they choose to take there are certainly things in this life, not neccessarily of a metaphysical nature, that we as humans can’t nor ever will be able to change.
Does it profit us to belittle ourselves with self deprecating attitudes, load ourselves with worry and anxiety, not to mention the agonizing depression that these thoughts and feelings bring about? Yes, our universe is immense and immeasurable by many people’s standards, yet there are galaxies and many a universe that we’ve all been told dwarf our own. And, on the other hand we must remember that there exists no animal, organism, etc., at least to the best of our knowledge, that is as complex as the human spirit (breath of life) and soul (mind and emotion); not even our universe or the many observable galaxies and ‘black holes’.
It’s incumbant upon each of us to realize that with all of the worry, anxiety and feelings of stress and tension we can’t ad a single inch to our height, a day to our life, nor can we turn so much as one white hair to its’ origional blak or brown color. I’m not saying that we have no control over our lives, as it has been proven far too many times to say that when one allows themseves the right to breathe, to relax regardless of the circumstances or situation, refuses to become anxiety or guilt ridden needlessly.
Then, and seemingly only then, does the miraculous and unexpected begin to happen. A person’s attitude, or ‘altitude’ as Earl Nightengail liked to say, has everything to do with the flow of their river in this life.
I’m sure that you’ve already concluded that at the far end of the field I’m a believer in Intelligent Design, but to get up close and personal, I’m a Southern Baptist seminarian.
Dave
I know about loa but today first time i heard about loo.yes i want to use it right now. i believe that it will work for me.
Thank you for the information on your site, I have found it very useful and will use what you have written to improve my life, and I am sure you are effecting change in peoples lives everywhere, if anyone else knows of other related information I can search for please let me know
We as humans always try to do it the hard way. The truth is we have been programed through the growing up years with many negative things which have hardened us into believing that nothing could be that simple and yet it is. I see people saying you have to prepare, you have to know all this stuff or have all this stuff before the Law of Attraction works. In complete honesty I believe we do not need any of it. Once we have been presented with the Law of Attraction if we just simple used it exactly the way it is meant to it would work in our lives. Most of us cannot do that. We need to deprogram ourselves and Subliminal tapes are the very best way to do it because our minds will fight us the other way. Yes we can do it the other way but if we want to do it and not waste time getting to our goal we need to bypass that concious mind and set our sub-concious free to do and be all it can be.
I was cruising some of the older posts, and decided to make a comment here, even though I’m a bit late
It’s important to realize/remember that the “Law of Attraction” is a law of the physical Universe and can only operate within the Illusion of Separation which is created by the subconscious Ego Mind. That’s the function of the Ego Mind — to create the physical life experience.
If you have any doubt about this, ask yourself if this statement is true: “In order to Attract something, I must first be separate from the thing I wish to Attract.”
In Truth, we are not separate from anything. Everything we experience is a part of the one Mind. The point I’m trying to make is that there is a level of creation that exists beyond/beneath/behind the level where we experience Law of Attraction. This creative level is where the action to create really takes place. That’s why the Law is experienced in so many different ways by so many different people. That’s the nature of it — it’s a Law that applies only where there is polarity/duality and infinite variation. Therefore, no two people will experience the Law of Attraction in exactly the same way.
I hope this inspires you to take a deeper look at the nature and levels of the Mind, physical reality, and the where/what/how of true creativity.
Thanks for this fantastic resource. Keep up the great work, Vishen — especially the interviews with Gerald O’Donnell!
It only seems like the opposite. I call it the Law of Expectation. You do get what you mildly want, don’t you? But when you REALLY want something you might get a fear of why you won’t get it. The fear has the stronger emotion so you attract that — exactly what you don’t want, but sadly what you expect. Hence the advice to be confident, let go of wanting it, etc. I use EFT or MTT techniques to tap on the fear. Then I rephrase my desire with, “It will be interesting to see how the universe brings me that.” Then I am curiously and gratefully expectant.
It’s nothing more than the old fashioned & more local statement ” You reap what you sow” Just re-packaged by hard selling repetition & way to much seasoning. And its no big secret to the enlightened mind.
These articles and comments are terrfic. Life is wonderful
