Mindfulness Tips and the Law of Attraction
Focusing your thoughts so miracles can happen
“These newsletters serve a demographic of highly intelligent readers, with a passion for ideas, critical thinking, and unknown possibilities. Readers of my posts are usually really tired of being patronized elsewhere by fact-less, opinionated know-nothings, who complain about everything they don’t like, but lack a willingness to think about, find resources, or create life hacks, shortcuts, and solutions to fix what they don’t like.”

On a personal note: Please excuse grammatical errors, typos, repetition, and any general nonsense, and such in this post. I am getting a bit older now, and I have about 20,000 pages of information that must get published before I leave the mortal coil. I simply write and publish more than my humble editors are able to correct. If you find enough errors you are welcome to contact me about being an editor of my work.

Q. Lewis, I keep hearing about the Law of Attraction, yet I’m still confused?
A. I’m always glad to offer people information when they search “meaning happiness” or “what is happiness”. I also like to connect my answers to Eastern philosophy or explaining metaphysics in simple terms.
Many of the ideas related to mindfulness and the state of Flow come from the New Thought philosophy. The Law of Attraction is a related belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person’s life. The belief is based on the idea that people and their thoughts are made from pure energy (Qi) and that a process of like energy attracting like energy exists through which a person can improve their health, wealth, and personal relationships.
Advocates of the Law of Attraction generally combine cognitive reframing techniques with affirmations and creative visualization to replace limiting or self-destructive (“negative”) thoughts with more empowered, adaptive (“positive”) thoughts.
A key component of the philosophy is the idea that in order to effectively change one’s negative thinking patterns, one must also “feel” (through creative visualization) that the desired changes have already occurred. This combination of positive thought and positive emotion is believed to allow one to attract positive experiences and opportunities by achieving resonance with the proposed energetic law.
Supporters of the Law of attraction mention scientific facts and use them as arguments in favor of it. However, it is considered not to have any scientific basis in the scientific community. A number of researchers have criticized the misuse of scientific concepts by its proponents.
As we explore our needs, we sometimes realize that our lives are a merging of many diverse elements. These elements have come together to produce something that is obviously greater than any of the qualities in the individual parts. It is as if two plus two was to equal five. The doctrine that explains this phenomenon is known as holism. Holism emphasizes the priority of a whole over its parts.
In life, if we are wise, we do what we need to do, and do not do what we don’t need to do. If we think and act with this in mind, most things will unfold easily and smoothly. The challenge, of course, is knowing what we need to do, rather than what we want to do.
Holism is a very important concept for the extraordinary individual seeking to create an effective life game strategy.
Of course from the perspective of science and logic, the idea that the sum might be greater than the parts makes no sense. Still, the concept of holism and synergy has been embraced in many of the social sciences but is still considered a radical concept in the mainstream scientific community, though many physicists have embraced it.
“Minds are like flowers, they only open when the time is right.”
― Stephen Richards
Takeaway
The Law of Attraction, essentially becomes what the Taoist Sages called Wu wei, the action that requires no action. Getting to this state of awareness will require a comprehensive mental self-assessment. Such an assessment needs to include the key psychological and physical activities of our daily life, as well as requiring a tallying of those intangible factors that contribute to the overall quality of any ongoing process of self-assessment. With this understanding and through the merging of Holism and Wu wei incredible shifts in our thinking patterns arise.
