                  This is pretty cool stuff I'm blogging about today. I watched a bit of a video about this concept called the law of attraction. At first I thought it was some video about body language but it turned out to be something quite different. I've vaguely heard of this theory before. Now I haven't looked into it too deeply but on face value, what it's basically about is that if you think of something, or want something, through the power of "the law of attraction" it will come to you. This means instead of living life as though it is happening to you, think about life as something you are doing and the universe will conspire to bring you the things you want most. It's like the secret to making dreams come true. (I didn't watch the whole thing, I only made it to the second woman being interviewed, but here's the link in case you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BmDLHwXU7c)

              One of the thing's the lady in the video said you could do to test this theory is to write down on a piece of paper something you specifically want in life, it has to be specific rather than general, she used the example of the exact laptop computer she wanted, then it turned out that she was given the exact model of computer she wanted from work. Ok, I know that example seems like a coincidence but all the things on the list happened, and the point is not that the world is a giant Santa-Clause that just gifts you whatever you wish for, I think the point is that if we make definitive decisions for what we want and make them dominant in our minds, make them a certain want rather than a pondering thought, through this power of the law of attraction they will come to us. This seems a little bit like the idea that we create our own universe through our own thoughts, and to some extent that is true, our realities exist only in our perception of them and perception is controlled by how we tell our brain to perceive the world.
               I think it's a matter of just being more conscious or awake to your wants and needs. I think it's just a matter of putting a small bit of effort to think through what you want and have a rough idea of how that is possible. Then that thought sits in your subconscious mind, that internal assistant that serves us so diligently. From there the subconscious mind filters and addresses information that we come across in our day to day lives. Our minds automatically, or subconsciously bring our attention towards the things that we have decided are relevant to our lives all the time. From the thousands of adverts, billboards, viral messages, posters, promotional marketing and media that we are bombarded with, our minds sieves out what is relevant from all that crap, think about how many adverts you see in a day, how much of that information is in your mind? Do you give all of that information you are bombarded with all of your undivided attention? Or do you just let your subconscious work out what you need to remember or think about?


 Now if you think of your subconscious mind as the crew of a ship and you, your conscious, aware mind, that part of you that is receiving the experience of life, that is the captain. The crew is well trained to automatically run the ship, you breath, you walk automatically, you get informed of when you are hungry, you react appropriately to danger and all those other things that happen automatically. But if the crew aren't told what information is relevant, what your ambitions, wants and dreams are, it wont know how to appropriately serve you. The trick is to let your subconscious mind know, simply by telling it, by thinking about it, by making it a prevalent and dominant thought, by really thinking through what it is you want. Rather than thinking "I wish I had a job I actually enjoy," if you thought about what you would specifically like to do and give that thought some attention, i.e. "I want to become a music journalist", your subconscious mind can make those automatic decisions that will guide you towards that goal.

             I'm sure you'd probably be wondering how your subconscious mind has the ability to bring you closer to your goals, dreams and wishes. You have to understand that our subconscious mind controls so much, it controls our body language, what attracts our eyes, our moods, it's what picks conversations out of a crowded room that interest you, it's what makes you notice shapes in clouds, it's your gut feeling. It'll notice things you might not be consciously aware of, it can alert you, through what you feel is intuition to make certain decisions, it will make things be on your mind, such as wanting to be a journalist and so taint every action you make to steer you in that direction. Your body language, the words you choose, conversation subjects, the clothes you choose to wear all have an affect on your life, it affects your perception of yourself and it affects other people's perception of you. All of us run on a subconscious level, and the subconscious mind is very sensitive and powerful. Other people's subconscious mind's can pick up on signals that yours sends, to a degree your subconscious can indicate to others what you want, and so if they think about giving you a gift, or have something to give away the result could end up being in your interest, i.e "I've got spare journalist passes for Kurt Elling, I wonder who I could offer it to. Oh I know! so'n'so seems like they're into jazz".



           There is a more far-out way of looking at the law of attraction. That far-out view is that the universe actually sets things in motion to make things happen. This is a bit more of an unscientific, faith based sort of perception. It's saying the universe listens to your wishes, the universe or life is conscious and is essentially like god blessing you, in a way. It apparently works by you making a request to the universe and with faith it grants that request. I doubt this to be the case, but I wouldn't knock this kind of perception, it's not something that should be immediately disregarded because you see a lack of validity or credibility due to it's unscientific nature. It deserves some consideration, and I'll explain why...
              The power of placebo! Apparently when doctors give their patients a placebo (fake medicine), even if they are informed that it is a placebo, it still works! There is a very good Derren Brown episode about the placebo effect if you're interested in finding more about it. The placebo effect is essentially the power of belief, if you believe in something, through your perception of it being a reality it becomes a reality. Placebos, to my surprise, have even cured people of skin conditions, balding and other physical ailments. I would have thought that placebos would be best used to cure psychological ones, but it seems our minds have a greater control over bodies than we thought. In a way it's a bit like hypnosis, which is just telling your subconscious mind how to work, which is what the law of attraction is all about. So if a sugar pill can cure balding just because the patient believed in it and had enough faith to make it become a reality in their own mind, then the power of belief and faith in anything, regardless of whether it's real or not, will result in the benefits you believe will come from it, on the condition that it is possible of course, you're not going to sprout wings and develop the ability to fly. However, it is possible for you to create a belief system for yourself that you can invest faith in that will enable you to achieve your ambitions or whatever goals you're looking to score.


          I'm not sure how accurate my understanding of the law of attraction is, maybe the law of attraction is something different to what I explained, but the process I'm trying to explain in this blog is something I feel to be true. If you take life as a malleable entity, you can shape it how you want rather than have it shape you to fit how it wants you to be. You are in control of your own reality, you can perceive it how you want. Life is interactive, the starting point of achieving your dreams and living life exactly how you want to is your mind. It's up to you to decide how you think, what you think and what your dreams are. If you make your ambitions a specific want, those thoughts will manifest themselves into reality.

Be careful of your thoughts, be careful of what's in your mind, you don't want to manifest into reality thoughts that don't serve you. The media, people in your life, society everything around you all effects your thoughts. If you take control and make them positive then good things will happen. Steer away from negativity or anything that controls how you think because you want your reality to be your own, not someone else's. Choose carefully what you read, watch the T.V shows you feel suits you, listen to music that you are drawn to, wear the clothes that make you feel good. Make sure you absorb what you want to receive into your mind and shapes you into who you want to be or toward what you want. And believe, believe in the power of the law of attraction (if that's what I'm accurately explaining about here) and believe and trust in your subconscious mind.


Manisfest your own reality, life is what you make it.

Life is what you make it


I wish you all good thoughts and dreams to bring into your life.
