I’m not sure I totally agree about Steve’s opinion that the Law of Attraction is flawed in the way he says it is. Steve has progressed far in his understanding of the metaphysical nature of reality but there is much more to it, as I understand it, regarding inner guidance and inspired action, which incidentally many mainstream teachings on LoA do not cover.

I agree that LoA (an actual law, more fundamental than the laws of physics even) can be looked at as just one principle you can use to improve your life and your alignment with things you desire. However I think to say, as Steve does, “it is limited” because it cannot bring you an awareness of your blind-side is to ignore a vital bit of understanding concerning your metaphysical make-up and your power to manifest:

When you are truly in alignment, your ‘inner being’ (or higher self, soul, the larger part of yourself, the part that exists in non-physical reality – outside of time and space, the part which contains the seat of your consciousness) has a much clearer channel to communicate to you (via instinct and inspiration) the true direction towards manifesting your desires; the actions that will most easily take you to them. What it can see is a much higher, broader viewpoint on your life than you have the ability to see in your highly focussed, physical existence. It’s like a mountain-top view, as opposed to your restricted valley perspective, in terms of time as well as space.

So for example, if building a better social network really is one of the most effective paths to achieving your intention, your ‘inner being’ knows this already (and is actively directing you towards that activity), the translation of which comes through as excitement and inspiration toward a particular action. By being in a state of good health and in alignment with your desires (which you can detect as positive emotions), you’d be more in a position to ‘hear’ this guidance through your imagination, and have the benefit of knowing what action to take.

So you *can* ’see’ what’s on your blind-side, so to speak, by putting an understanding of your meta-physical self into practice. Part of the process of deliberately putting LoA to work will assist with this to a large degree.

And you will find it’s OK to actually live your life like this – if you trust enough to follow your excitement by only taking inspired action, you will be fully supported by yourself (because you are in fact your own universe) and will, as a consequence, be automatically led to the next most exciting thing that you can act upon.

This is the way it works as I understand it, from hearing it explained by Bashar and Abraham-Hicks – two vital resources and very clear channels for info on LoA & more, if anyone cares to find out.

If you can make this work for you then it’s like LoA on steroids.

Apologies for the long post.

@ Lori, that’s nearly a year per word – crazy, isn’t it? But it was time well spent. I’m just glad it worked out in the end.

I had never really thought of power as as an element of growth before. At least not all across the board.

He seems to know what he’s talking about. I’m going to have to check out this book sometime.

Lori Delene´s last blog post..#12: Color Meanings

The Law of Attraction is simply one of several universal principles and, truth be told, was a very clever way to get loads of people interested in talking about universal principles. I believe you will see more of an integration of spiritual principles in the business community particularly as more people are working from home.

Thank you for this excellent blog and interview!
