My Take on the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction, often called "The Secret" in the popular vernacular, is a dynamic law of the Universe; the same as the laws of gravity and inertia, and the laws of electricity and magnetism.

It is in a basic description of this, that "likes attract," and like thoughts will produce that which is 'thought about' as becoming an eventual concrete reality, and attach one through meaningful coincidences, or 'synchronicity,' with people and events along that particular wavelength or frequency of thinking. Like attracts like, and thoughts become things.

I also nickname the Law of Attraction as the Law of Reflection, for it mirrors the mental image, in the same way as one views oneself in a mirror. The thoughts 'reflect off' the mirror of the Universe, in the way that Jesus once said, "you shall reap what you sow." It is a mirror of our thoughts and deeds. I remember the law of physics that 'the angle of incidence equals the angle of refraction,' the analogous physical description of an object bouncing off of a solid object, like light waves off a mirror.

Good or bad, optimistic or pessimistic, joyful or depressive, stingy or benevolent, a lot of the way we think, and therefore act, results in backlash of this, which is really to be our reward.

Think, feel, and believe in wealth, and you will be wealthy. Think, feel, and believe you are impoverished, and you will be hurting for money. Think and believe in love and kindness, and people will be loving and kind to you. Hate specific groups of people, and you will be targeted by somebody or some group with hatred.

This is a hard pill to swallow for some, but for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Including our thoughts and activities. And the maxim 'you shall reap what you sow' is part of this law of physics, or a real and actual law of the Universe. The Law of Reflection; all you think and do will be reflected back at you. Man attracts what he thinks about; but it is also a reflection of what he thinks about.

Think about it!

Proof Positive That VRT Works

Here's a post from a practicioner of Visualized Resistance Training who uses the handle 'douglis.'

A former weight trainer, he did a 'study of one' using VRT as a stand-alone bodybuilding system, and compared it to his strength and endurance capacity in his weightlifting days. Here's the results he had, which proves that VRT can sustain or increase strength as a solitary exercise:

"After more than 2 years of VRT only, I want to start an experiment (see daily workout) so I'll give VRT a break for three months. Since I haven't performed any weight lifting exercise for the last three years, I thought it's the right time to test my strength and the VRT carryover.

Here are the results: Military press: 176 pounds: 2006-8 reps...today-12 reps!!! Barbell rows 187 pounds: 2006-8 reps...today-9 reps. Biceps curls 90 pounds: 2006-8 reps...today-10 reps. BW pull-ups: 2006-20 reps...today-19 reps (but I'm also 23 pounds heavier!) Squats (ass to grass): 286 pounds: 2006-10 reps...today-9 reps.

I'm really surprised that I got stronger at most exercises, without performing them for three years. As you can see the more complex the move the less the carryover since specificity and technique play a bigger role."
