TL;DR: You are the
physical manifestation of an eternal being and your thoughts and desires shape your
reality.
The metaphysical basis of Law of Attraction is the idea that
you and I are part of an eternal being that we shall call “Source.” Our bodies are merely physical manifestations
of Source, taken up for the purpose of personal expansion. This expansion is accomplished through the
process of coming to understand what we desire.
The universe itself is deeply benevolent and conscious of our desires. When we ask for something, the Universe
grants it immediately, creating the thing in a spiritual escrow called “The
Vortex”. The physical manifestation of
the thing is dependent on our choice to align our thoughts to it. The great spiritual struggle in life is to
align our thoughts with this spiritual abundance.
The basic action of LOA is in our thoughts. When
we think, we generate a “vibration” that is matched by the physical universe as
a “manifestation”. E.g.:
We have a mindset of love, and love comes to us. We have a mindset of wealth and wealth comes
to us. It also works the other way: we have a mindset of being unlovable and
relationships flee. We have a mindset of
poverty and we are always poor. In order to receive what we desire, then, we
must align our thoughts with what is desired.
A common misconception about LOA is that if you think about
something hard enough or want something bad enough, then it will come to
you. LOA teaches that the opposite is
true. The act of focusing on a thing
that is missing actually generates a vibration of lack. This focus on what is not desired will
reinforce the conditions of lack. What
is instead required is the appreciation
for how the thing we desire is already
manifesting to us in some way. For
example, if I desire a relationship, I could observe and appreciate that there
are already people in my life that I love and get to interact with. When I appreciate what has already manifested,
then my relationships will deepen and multiply.
Because the universe is benevolent, everything that is
desired is “downstream”. The false belief
that everything requires struggle is the greatest enemy to happiness. It is true that opposition does happen, but
it is not to seed conflict. Rather, it
is to provide contrast that helps a person understand what is desired. In other words, opposition is necessary and a
blessing, and when our response to it is allowance, we are in a position to
receive what we want.
A final point of LOA is that the spiritual creation of our
desires is just as real an important as the physical manifestation of those
desires. A person who understands this
will find deep satisfaction in contemplating a spiritual creation and knowing
that the physical manifestation will follow when the time is right. An enlightened person will see the life
experience as many delightful trips to a buffet: It would be nonsense to try to eat all the
food of a lifetime in one night. We
would much rather enjoy the pleasant sensation of hunger eased by delicious
food again and again, forever.
There’s a number of sources to go to for LOA ideas. I favor the ideas of Esther Hicks (a former
Mormon), which you can search on YouTube if you’d like to get an earful.
