“What did you say was in this nutshell?!?”
A lot of what I talk about on my podcast and write about on my blog has it’s basis in Law of Attraction theory; many of the principles and strategies that I use are energy-based and presume that the biggest factor that impacts the experiences we have in life is what’s happening inside our own minds. But I’ve never really gone into much detail about it all, so today I thought I’d explain all of that for you as kind of Cliff’s Notes, Law of Attraction in a nutshell thing.
So, what is Law of Attraction? If you’re listening to this podcast or reading my blog, then you’ve probably already come across the term in your own research, so the phrase itself should be familiar to you. The idea of a Law of Attraction has been around for thousands of years, but was only recently popularized when a little book called The Secret pretty much exploded onto the self-help and personal development scene. The Secret started off as a documentary-style movie, spearheaded by Rhonda Byrne, who later turned it into the book, and who would later go on to publish several additional books on the same topic based on the overwhelming success of that original movie. She wasn’t the first to be working with the first, but she was the first to really bring together a group of experts and package them all up in as easily accessible format for the masses, and I still recommend the book version of The Secret as one of the first points of reference for people who are just starting down the path of self-discovery; it’s highly inspirational and a very good introduction to all of this stuff.
But what, exactly is the Law of Attraction? At its core, Law of Attraction is nothing more than the idea that what we put out into the world is what comes back to us; “as within, so without”. Whatever is happening inside of us gets mirrored in our actual experience of the world around us. If we are negative and angry on the inside, we will perceive and experience the world to be negative and angry. If we are loving and optimistic on the inside, we will perceive and experience the world to be loving and optimistic as well.
It’s all about the vibration
Why is this? It is because everything is connected. You, me, the trees, the cat, the rocks, the stars, other planets, the Universe itself. We are all connected. All… One. We are all a part of a vast energy field that connects and permeates everything (which sounds an awful lot like the Force, from Star Wars, doesn’t it?) Everything, at its core, is a form of energy. You are made up of molecules, which are made up of atoms, which are made up of protons and electrons, which are made up of quarks, which are held together by gluons… smaller and smaller we go until we come to “strings”, and it is how those strings vibrate that determines whether we see light or physical objects or if we feel heat or hear sound; it’s the way in which those strings are vibrating on the tiniest imaginable scale that determines how we interpret that energy on the visible, accessible scale of our lives.
And because everything is part of this one enormous energy field, built completely out of those tiny little strings, every single thought and action we produce ripples out through that field and affects every other part of that field. What you send out there echoes back towards you through that field. Send out lower energy, get lower energy back. Send out higher energy, get higher energy back. Send out bad vibes, get them back. Send out good vibes, get them back. You attract into your life what you give.
And that is Law of Attraction in a nutshell.

I just love these podcasts. I did listen to a recent talk by a Swami who said that at first was source energy which vibrated a tad one way at some point and gave birth to duality and has been expanding ever since.
I have not come across any information about what would happen if source changes its mind and would like to go back to a one- itself. I think this exists already though in a one-dimensional plane, so I guess I answered my own question. We are experiencing the three dimensional plane. Maybe it has been there and done that and will be expanding. But eternity is not the expansion, right, it is the fact that there exists source energy. Yogis have said that universes go on and then die and then get re-born. Source energy sees this all at once, for time is not a factor for it. I wish I can say the same for humans who are slaves to the clock, but I am sure with the high vibration, one day it won’t be looked upon that way and it will be more like source sees things. We also experience such a narrowly-focused existence. It would be nice to expand further once in a while to gain perspective and remember our origins, which is what meditation does.
But Nathalie, how about people who are super successful and do not put out great vibes? These are the super rich who are morbidly obese. I know several such cases. The obesity may in fact be an indicator that they do not have clear vibes emanating from their being.
We can talk about this topic all day. I look forward to seeing more on this! Thank you!
According to the latest stuff coming out of the quantum physics field, in particular M-Theory, what we live in is just one of an infinite number of parallel Universes. M-Theory also tells us that there are actually 11 dimensions out there, but we are only experiencing four of them (time being the fourth). It’s really quite fascinating and I really want to write some articles about all that stuff, but I’m holding off until I do some more research and can be sure that I really understand what it means.
Wealth is only one aspect of life and is not an indication that someone is “advanced” or even that they are “successful” (depending on what your definition of success is, of course; my personal definition of success involves a lot more than just money). Some people have figured out the money thing, but that doesn’t mean they’ve got it all figured out; we all follow our own path in life. Obesity has it’s own emotional roots, and that may be part of the journey those individuals are on. We will all get there in our own time, and in our own way.
I would love such articles! I look forward to reading them!
Wow, infinite universes? Source is really something! It is certainly gaining perspective from its creations. We are part of it. We are source. That is a comforting notion since I understand source better than I do some people. At least that is how I feel.
So, in essence, we should not fear or worry about anything. I feel we are in good hands. I understand contrast is to be experienced so that we can know what we don’t want and do want and all that, but the fact that we are source energy should calm us. At least that is what I think.
Cool, huh? Now what’s really interesting about this is that it means that there is a universe out there in which we are already doing whatever it is we most want to be doing. Now, because all these universes overlap, the question I have is whether it’s possible to pick up any information between them, and get tips from the version of you that’s already super-successful at whatever it is you most want to be doing. Something I have to play around with. If it’s possible, just think of the wicked-freaking-awesome possibilities in that!
I don’t think there is anything we need fear or worry about in the grandest scheme of things. Our worries and fears come from being in this particular form that we are in, because we don’t remember being anything else. It’s hard to imagine being a part of infinite Source if you can’t actually remember it. But not remembering is part of the experience, and part of the reason we chose to be here. I love Mike Dooley’s explanation of what we really are (I think it’s in his book “Infinite Possibilities”). This is the biggest, most amazing adventure available to us, and those who choose to come here do so because of that adventure.
Yes, it is called quantum jumping and I know a guy who does it. That is where he learned many things at his age of 70, what people think is outrageous, but to me, it made sense and did not blow me away at all. I think we are capable of doing things, were made to do things even in old age and there was a time when humans lives beyond 110 years. But you see, people are resistance and do not even want to talk about living beyond 80; they would rather die! I was talking about this topic recently with a couple of people, and that is what they would rather do! Transition! I think it is their resistance that prevents them from doing things. It is all possible. Where there is a will, there is a way.
My goodness, our brain cannot even contemplate what is out there. And we sit and lament about our shit. It is funny, isn’t’ it? It is very soothing to me. I find this world we live in more scary than the grandest scale of things, because I am not afraid of that. It is like going home. The real home. Even if I do take a step off the ledge, I just know I will be taken care of, so I need to chill.
I really needed this now! Thanks!
Oh, yes, along this line. This also means that we can go to our self who did take a path we did not take here in this dimension and see how it is? Even though we are supposed to make peace with where we are and be happy in the now, that other self did go on with that decision. however, I have a feeling that I would be in the same place as I am now. What do you think?
These are great topics I hope to read from you!
