Law of Attraction and Positive Thinking

By thinking positive we create a false sense of positivity.
The false sense of positivity triggers false emotions, and attracts falsehood, which are then falsely identified, mistakenly interpreted as positive feelings.

We may argue, "But, people do get rich by creating such false sense of positivity."

Yes, sure they do.
They become rich, which again is the false sense of being wealthy.

Becoming rich does not make you wealthy.
Not that all rich people are not wealthy, there are many rich people who are also wealthy. However, the secret of their wealth, of true wealth, is not positive thinking. It is the positive "true feeling" - in Buddha's word, "Bhavna".

Bhavna is not emotion-based feeling, it is "true feeling" in the sense that it emanates from the innermost core of our being. It is the uncontaminated primeval feeling so clearly seen in the small children. It manifests as joy. Yes, it "manifests" as joy, what it actually is - we can never ever explain in words. For, all our words are mind and emotion based. Our language is the creation of our mind.

Joy, childlike joyous nature - this is the only manifestation of bhavna.
No other manifestation is possible. All other manifestations lead us to the realms of mind and emotions.

Now, this joy, and this joy alone can attract true wealth.
What is true wealth?

The answer can be found from the Sanskrit word for God, Bhagavat. Bha stands for Bhagya, Destiny - one, who creates his own destiny, is truly wealthy.

Ga for Gyaana, a storehouse of wisdom - he/she is truly wealthy.

Va for Vaibhava, or rich/glorious... But also for Vairagya - or detachment. Richness, name, fame, and glory alone do not make us truly wealthy. It is the combination of all those and detachment that makes us truly wealthy. When we can enjoy all that we posses without being attached to anything, then we are truly wealthy. It is the realization that whatever we posses, material as well as what we understand as immaterial are equally impermanent that we become truly wealthy.

Last but not least, Na stands for Nirmal, meaning soft, subtle, egoless, prideless, one who is humble. This is the last attribute of a truly wealthy person.

Maker of own destiny, storehouse of wisdom, rich, detached, and egoless - these are the signs of a truly wealthy person.

How to attract true wealth?
By accessing our original, joyful nature... How do we do that?

Now, here is the missing link - the link that can trigger our joy.
What is that? Just one thing that can actually trigger the feeling, or rather the true feeling of joy - and, that is Beauty!

It is beauty that connects our true joyful nature with the core essence of all Existence. I am tempted to call this core essence love, but i would not do that, for love has become the most misunderstood and misinterpreted word. I would rather leave the core nameless for time being...

Get connected with beauty, bring to the surface your true joyful feeling, and you shall attract true wealth, not just the riches.

Be wealthy!

Law of Attraction and Abundance

Q: It is so very difficult to focus on what i want...

A: Meaning, you actually do not want what you are trying to focus on. I am reminded of Svami Vivekananda. He "thought" that he wanted money. And, he was actually broke. He did not have enough to continue with his studies.

His master, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, asked him to focus on money, meditate, and "ask" Mother Kali, the Divine Feminine Principle for the fulfillment of his wish.

He could focus on money, and he did meditate too, but when it came to asking, he simply could  not do it. Instead, he asked for Bhakti, loving devotion. He asked for Shakti, divine poser, and he asked for Mukti, the absolute freedom.

Not once, not twice, but thrice he made the same "mistake".
He would be all prepared to ask for money, but when it came to actually asking, he would ask for bhakti, shakti, and mukti.

His inner being, the inner consciousness was not into money.
Perhaps, you are facing a similar situation. What you

Q: I keep hearing that money is important, and i agree it is important. I want money, who does not want? But, i cannot focus n money.

A: You are influenced by people. You have been bombarded by society and workplace that money is all that is to abundance. It is not. And, this is what your inner self is trying to tell you. Abundance is much more than having money. Abundance is true wealth, it is something that never ever decreased. It grows and grows.

Abundance is the feeling of joy that comes from inner satisfaction. Abundance is beauty, abundance is love. Abundance is only felt when you access your true self, your inner being - and, such access can only be gained through meditation. Abundance is the way to living meditatively.

To live abundantly is to live meditatively, and to live meditatively is to live fully, to allow all faculties within you develop to their fullest.

Law of Attraction and Wealth

Q: Why is it that so many people relate this law with wealth alone?


A: Relating with wealth is alright, however money is not the sum total of wealth. True wealth is overall prosperity. True wealth includes health, happiness, relations, all.

What is amazing is the survey I was reading sometime back that says that almost 70% of those who study law of attraction relate it to money, and not wealth.

I have also heard of another survey a couple of years ago that showed that health, relation, and inner satisfaction mattered more than money to most of the people the world over.

So, this is actually funny.

More people feel happy when they are healthy, they have good relationship, and they enjoy inner satisfaction; whereas the law of attraction survey showed that money was most important to all those who considered themselves as the practitioners of the law.

First thing that is according to my understanding: there is no division between practitioners and non-practitioners. The law is universal, by whichever term you call it.

Another thing, around 1900, so many people suddenly talked about this law, and it took decades those days for people everywhere to begin talking about it. Not long after, there was the infamous crash of 1929.

Law of Attraction and Empathy

Q: It is said that one must be upbeat to help others, in a 1906 book published by Atkinson this is called bracing.

A: Certainly, if you are not upbeat, then you cannot help someone who is downbeat.

Q: Yes, but, I have also heard that we do not have to sympathize with those who are downbeat. It is only then that we can help them.

A: If you do have the feelings of empathy, and sympathy, why would you even think of helping someone?

We cannot help someone if we are emotionally attached to the person. I am reminded of a renowned surgeon in Japan whose hands trembled while performing surgery on his grandson. He was disturbed. It never happened before when he was operating on his patients. He failed.

Not to be emotionally attached is not the same as not having empathy, or sympathy.

Atkinson suggested bracing, why? This is clearly because he was moved by the same feelings of empathy and sympathy. Otherwise, what is the point of bracing people?

Discussion on Esther and Jerry Hicks’ “ASK & IT IS GIVEN”

Q: It is written in Hicks' "Ask & it is Given" that, "You did not come to fix a broken world." Further, “As Non-Physical Source Energy expressing through your physical experience, your physical experience istruly the Leading Edge of thought. And as you are fine-tuning your creative experience, you are takingthought beyond that which it has ever been before.

“As you enthusiastically made the decision to come into this physical body and create in this way, you understood, from your Non-Physical vantage point, that this physical world was not broken and in need ofrepair—and you did not come forth to fix it.


“You saw this physical world as a creative environment in which you, and everyone else, could expressyourselves creatively—you did not come forth to try to get others to stop doing what they are doing anddo something else. You came forth understanding the value in the contrast, and the balance in the variety.


“Every physical Being on your planet is your partner in co-creation, and if you would accept that and appreciate the diversity of beliefs and desires— all of you would have more expansive, satisfying, and fulfilling experiences.”

Having read that, my understanding is that, we cannot be anybody’s support, but ourselves. We change, and the world will change by itself. In other words, there is no such thing as support energy.

A: Hicks are right, in the sense that they are looking at the universe from one angle, a right angle, but one of so many angles.


Your understanding is right, “Be the Change,” – Gandhi said the same thing, but he did not say, “Be the change, and the world shall change by itself.” He said, “Be the change that you want to see in the world.”


There is a “want”, a “desire” to see the world changed. And, there is an effort “to change oneself”, in order to see the same change in the world.


One cannot simply “want”, and sit quiet. I am sure Hicks did not mean that either.


What is the entire Law of Attraction about? Attracting what, and for what? Why to attract? Aren’t we talking about some kind of support? In order to attract, there has to be one to attract, and one who is attracted, and the very act of attracting. 


Is that not some kind of support? If there is no such thing as interdependency, why attract what, and again for what? 


Why are those souls/entities calling themselves “Abraham” communicating with the Hicks?
Why are those souls/entities together?


Why do the Hicks write those books? Why do they go around giving workshops? Why propagate the theory?


We may close our eyes to the sufferings of the farmers in some remote village somewhere in one of the third world countries, but can we actually live without their support?


There is an anonymous farmer out there - unknown to us – who woke up at 04.00 this morning to work on his field. He works to ensure that 6 months from now, we have rice on our table.
