Law of Attraction - Unlocking the Power of Prayer

If you are talking about using your mind to get what you want in life, you are either talking about the Law of Attraction, or Prayer. Of course, whether you are talking about Prayer or the Law of Attraction, you are really just talking about how to use your thoughts to influence or change your experience. Thinking is thinking; and, you are either doing it effectively or you're not.

The idea that our thoughts influence our experience has been taught - in one way or another - throughout human history and long before any religions were created. When knowledgeable, but perhaps unwise, people pass-on such instruction, meaning is sometimes lost; and effectiveness dwindles as the spirit, purpose, meaning, and understanding of a thing fades into the practice of memorizing and repeating words and actions.

Consider that, no matter what religion you are, it isn't one of the Original religions; those disappeared before our recorded history. Consider that, even if you are trying desperately to do the "right thing," someone told you what "right" and "wrong" are; if they were slightly off the mark, then the "right" thing may become something that no longer "works," or is no longer the "effective" thing. The teaching, "know them by their fruits," can be applied in any area of life; if a person says one5B4 thing and does another, you can know them by their words, or actions - but not both, as their words and actions contradict each other. If you think you have planted an orange tree, and apples appear on the branches one day, you know you have planted an apple tree; you were simply mistaken about the nature of the seed you planted.

If someone taught you how to pray, their methods either produce results - or fruits - or they do not. I'll ask the age-old question here: "Would you rather be Right, or Happy?" You aren't making dead ancestors proud by sticking to their words when you don't understand those words and they aren't helping you. The teaching to consider the "fruits" a thing produces basically asks, "What's the use in something someone TOLD you is right if it doesn't produce the fruit you desire?"

Are you doing the "Right" thing (as taught to you by people who either had a happy life or not), or are you doing the thing that "Works" for you? Though I know this quote from the New Testament, most religions contain this teaching: "Whatsoever you desire, when you stand in prayer, believing, will be given to you." If you aren't getting what you want in life, you haven't been "black-balled" by God; you simply were not taught effective methods of prayer.

When you plant a seed in your mind - a thought - it always grows into a physical representation; what we sow in our minds, we reap in our bodies and lives. The Law of Att5A6raction simply talks about "how" this could be happening; but prayer, or whatever you call, "focusing your thoughts, mental images, and feelings on your heart's desires," is the way, or method, that has always been used to "choose" those things we create and experience. Thoughts are things; and they become reality. So, in order to unlock the power of prayer, just remember: It isn't the words you say, but your thoughts, that count.
