Relationships and the Law of Attraction
This question and answer article was done by Gizelle River, Virtual Administrator and Writer. Visit her website.
G: Hi Michael. Today’s topic is relationships. In your hundreds of seminars and TeleClasses, what are people saying about their relationships or lack of them? What kind of complaints do you most often hear?
M: I’d like to start by saying that the amount of people on our planet who are single continue to surprise me. Having said that, the thing I hear people saying most often about attracting their ideal mate is that it’s HARD to do. I hear over and over again that there are no ‘good’ men or women left, or that people keep attracting *&#@* kinds of dates!
People complain that all the ‘good’ prospects are already taken or that their dating experiences are disastrous. Of course, if they knew what I knew they’d know exactly WHY they are getting the kinds of relationships or dating experiences they are getting. You can hear it in the words they use when they comment! Half-way through my seminars, these people get their “Ahh-Hah!” moment! They learn that NOT getting their ideal relationship or partner has nothing to do with the availability of ‘good’ men or women. They learn that it’s all about the vibes they’ve been sending!
G: What is missing from the traditional match-making and online dating services?
M: These services are mostly concerned with what physical attributes you are most attracted to: tall, dark, handsome, busty, pretty, slender etc. Law of Attraction matches people by their vibrations. An ideal dating service would help people attract their perfect match by helping them to begin within themselves. In other words, whatever vibration a person would want their ideal mate to have, they would begin by creating THAT vibration first within themselves so that Law of Attraction can match it!
G: What can you suggest single folks do to help them attract their ideal partner?
M: Ironically, knowing what you didn’t like about a past partner or a past date is very useful to you. You can use this information to help you get clarity about the kind of mate you do want. For example, if you don’t want someone who works too much-what do you want? If you don’t want someone who is not adventurous-what do you want? If you don’t want someone who is not interested in dancing, or who is not romantic, or not a good listener etc-what do you want?
Understanding what you don’t want will help you ‘birth’ more clarity about what you do want and your ‘birthed’ clarity becomes your new, clear desire! Notice too, how you feel when you get clear about something. It feels good when we say, “Oh! That’s exactly what I’d like!” This new clarity has now become your desire and that is the first step to manifesting your ideal mate. In my book, Law of Attraction, The Science of Attracting More of What you Want and Less of What You Don’t, I talk about the three step process for Deliberate Attraction. The first step is being able to identify your desire. Now you know how to use the contrast to do just that!
G: What’s happening if your desire is not manifesting?
M: The first thing to know is that you’re not truly offering a pure vibration of the way you want it to be then Law of Attraction cannot respond to it. In other words, you are saying that you want THIS kind of person but you are sending out a vibe that is different than your desire. One way to check what vibration you are offering is to observe what you ARE receiving in your life. It’s always a perfect match to whatever you are offering vibrationally.
Secondly, most people tend to be scorekeepers and they tend to keep score about what isn’t happening. When you do that, you are of course, giving what isn’t happening more energy, attention and focus!
G: Michael, what can people do to correct that?
M: Every time you catch yourself observing or thinking about what you don’t want, take your attention away from it! The easiest way to do this is to say to yourself, “So what DO I want?” It sounds simple and it is! When you change your observation from what you don’t want to what you do want, the vibration changes. When you change your vibration, the results will change too!
Next, for those of you who are scorekeepers, begin to notice when you are observing the LACK of attracting your ideal mate. Stop scorekeeping what you are NOT attracting and you’ll stop giving it your attention, energy and focus. Your job is to look for the parts of a relationship or the characteristics of a date that ARE matching your desire list and give those your attention! Your vibration will change and Law of Attraction will bring you more of the same!
G: What should people do when they just get home from a disastrous date?
M: Don’t tell anyone! Don’t email your friends about it! Don’t talk about it with your girlfriends! Don’t write about it in your journal. Remember that Law of Attraction doesn’t know if you are remembering something or complaining about it, or worrying about it. Law of Attraction will simply bring you more of whatever it is you are focusing on!
So, come home from your date build a list of all the things that you didn’t like about your dating experience and convert each item of contrast on your list into another thing that you clearly want.
And then, with the converted list (your clarity list) add it to the list of the things that you would like in an ideal date! Now you have a more complete list and THAT’S what you’ll want to give your attention!
If it didn’t feel good on the first date, it usually doesn’t get better, so simply move on to the next date – adding to your list each time. You’ll know when you’ve found your ideal mate by how it feels!
G: Thanks Michael! We’ll look forward to more of your expert answers in next month’s edition of MICHAEL’S MAILBOX.

Attitude – The Work Of The Spiritual
Every single day we go through dozens if not hundreds of situations that we disagree with in one way or another. It may be waking up to a grumpy spouse, a person cutting us off on our commute to work, problems with the boss or a project during the day, the list is absolutely endless.
Yet the vast majority of these negative experiences flutter by us without even a second thought. The smallest of occurrences we barely even notice. If we are uncomfortable in our chair or a drink of water goes down the wrong way, we grimace, adjust, and proceed on with our day.
But every single one of these negative events affords us an opportunity for preparatory spiritual work. This is so because spirituality has everything to do with our attitude toward the Creator. We are told two basic facts. First, there is none else besides Him, meaning that there is no other force in the world other than the Creator, and He is behind every single act, the driving force.
Second, we are told that not only is the Creator responsible for every event that occurs, but each and every one of the situations we experience all day long down to the minutest of occurrences is good. In other words, regardless of whether we feel a negative or a positive experience, the Creator is actually performing an act of love that contains only good. What this means is that every single act that occurs in our lives is an opportunity for spiritual work.
Our attitude toward the Creator is where we begin our spiritual journey. We have three different choices of attitude toward the Creator with regard to any given event. Those are:
1. We do not even consider the Creator with regard to the event. This is considered total disregard for spirituality and we are only in our corporeal nature. It is called living as a beast. 2. We think to check our attitude toward the Creator and find that we cannot necessarily say that the Creator was behind this act. In other words, there is the Creator as far as we know, but there may be other forces in the world that cause things too, like the act we just experienced. This is known as double concealment. 3. Finally the third attitude we can experience is that yes, we understand that the Creator is responsible for every single circumstance in the world, but some of these are bad and cause us pain. This is known as single concealment.
Of course, our goal is to realize that the Creator is responsible for everything that happens and everything that happens is great, perfect, could not be better. But sometimes we get confused thinking that our work is to change our attitude where we feel this way.
This is utterly impossible. For one to think they can change their own nature is proof that they are in delusion. Only the Creator can cause this transformation. But what we can do is to want it, and want it with all our hearts. This last part, to want to be able to do give all the credit for everything to the Creator and to understand that it is all good is the most important stage of our work. It is known as a prayer.
But this last stage requires that we first become accustomed to analyzing any and every event we disagree with that occurs to us as often as we can remember. Remember, our goal prior to entering spirituality is to first analyze our attitude toward the Creator. Then after discovering events we cannot assign to the Creator, or cannot say the Creator’s action was only good – to justify his actions, we should try to want to justify those actions.
The more we want to justify the Creator, the faster we will achieve our goal. By studying and working within the group, because of these efforts, the Creator affords us ample opportunities to speed up this process of spiritual revelation. But it is up to us to take advantage of those wonderful gifts from Him.

Law of Attraction Classics: Dynamic Thought – Greatest Power of All Powers – HT Hamblin
“Thoughts,” said Prentice Mulford, “are things.” “Thoughts,” says T. Sharper Knowlson, “so far from being mere brain flashes, are, judging solely from their effects, real entities, apparently composed of spiritual substance, the nature of which is outside the range of discovery of our present faculties.” “Thought,” says Levy, “is not an event which dies in a world ethereal, supersensible, imperceptible; it has continually its likeness and repercussion in our organism.” “Thought is not,” says Ralph Waldo Trine, “as is many times supposed, a mere indefinite abstraction, or something of a like nature. It is, on the contrary, a vital, living force, the most vital, subtle and irresistible force in the Universe.”
In our very laboratory experiments we are demonstrating the great fact that thoughts are forces. They have form, and quality, and substance, and power, and we are beginning to find that there is what we may term a science of thought.
We are beginning to find also that through the instrumentality of our thought forces we have creative power in reality. Many more authorities could be quoted, but these will suffice to show that thoughts are just as much “things” as town halls or mountains are “things.” It is a great mistake to imagine that because you can see a thing with your physical eyes, feel it with your hands, or hit it with a hammer, that it is for that reason more real than something you can neither see nor feel. On the contrary the “Unseen” is vastly more powerful, lasting and forceful than anything you can see with your physical eyes. What you see with your eyes is only the effect of greater causes which are invisible.
“Everything exists in the unseen before it is manifested in the seen, and in this sense it is true that the unseen things are real, while the things that are seen are the unreal. The unseen things are cause; the seen things are effect. The unseen things are eternal; the seen things are the changing, the transient.”
Thoughts then are “entities,” are “things,” are “forces,” are vital subtle “powers.” They, like everything else, and every other force in the universe, are subject to law. This law is the Law of Attraction.
Whatever thoughts you think will attract to you thoughts of a similar nature. According as you create good or bad thoughts, so do you determine whether your life shall be blessed or cursed. If you think a good thought and dwell upon it, and, as it were, nourish it with your meditations, it will not only bless and enrich your life, but will attract hosts of other thoughts of equal power and beauty, which will hasten to minister to you. Thus, if you think “Success” thoughts, and affirm them, and cling to them in the face of apparent defeat and failure, you will attract to yourself such a wave of powerful, upbuilding and inspiring thoughts that you will be lifted right over your difficulty and carried, as by invisible forces, along the path of accomplishment.
On the other hand, it is equally true that if you think a weak thought, a low thought, a vile thought, or a thought of failure, there will be attracted to you a host of thoughts of like character, which by their nature will curse you and drag you down. “Unto him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be taken away that which he hath” is simply the working of the Law of Attraction. Think “Success” and thousands of invisible forces will fly to your aid. Think “failure” and innumerable forces will help to make your failure even more complete.
If thought is the “greatest power of all powers,” “the most vital, subtle and irresistible force in the universe,” and if your thoughts have the power to attract other thoughts of a like character, then the choice of your thoughts is the ‘nose important act of your life.
By choosing your thoughts you choose either success or failure, happiness or misery, health or disease, hope or despair.
Kabbalah Red Bracelets Ward Against Evil
Kabbalah Red Bracelets are worn on the left wrist to block the entrance of negative energy into the body. Believers in Kabbalah practice that the left side of the body is the entrance of the body and soul. Therefore followers wear Kabbalah red bracelets on their left wrist to protect against the evil eye and intercept and negative energy that wants to enter the body. Kabbalists firmly believe that in order to live a life without negative energy they must only allow positive forces and behavior to be present in their lives. This is why the need for Kabbalah red bracelets to be prominent on the left wrist. The evil eye is a big threat stemming from looks that people might give during everyday life. Usually these evil eyes are based off of jealousy that is directed at the person to try to bring them down. This is why Kabbalists must only allow positive energy into their life so that they can live their life to their fullest potential.
The red string is used as a measure of protection and has been prominent in the religion for hundreds of years. You may come across someone with a red string tied on their left wrist, which would signify that they practice Kabbalah and are forcing out all negative energy away from them and only allowing positive energy in. The Red string is a symbol of protection and was derived from the sages that entails tying the red string around the Rachel the Matriarch’s Tomb, which is located in Israel. The red string that Kabbalists wear on their left wrists is of significance importance and symbolism, which is why it plays such an inherit role in their beliefs and practice. Kabbalah red bracelets allow wearers physically visualize the evil threats being warned off from their bodies, only allowing positive energy to enter. This practice allows followers of Kabbalah to fully realize and attain their potential in life because they are not concerned about what others think, aka warding off the evil eye.
Kabbalah Red Bracelets are very important to followers and that is why they are very selective in the type they wear. Some prefer a simple red string, while others put different types of symbols such as the evil eye on their bracelet. Not only do Kabbalah red bracelets provide the wearer with protection from the evil eye but it also block out all jealousy and envy from people in everyday life. This fully allows the wearer to achieve their potential in life because they only allow positive energy into their life. If you have recently started a new job, bought a new house, or have started a family, the protection from the Kabbalah red bracelet and the evil eye will provide you with the protection that you need from wandering eyes and threats that are out there in the world today. Harness your positive energy and deny any negative energy that might try to enter into your life with Kabbalah red bracelets.

Law of Attraction Classics: Suggestion is Power – Vision and Manifesting – Charles Bristol
I recall a thrifty neighbor of mine who, although a man of intelligence and mature years, had his hair cut at only certain times of the moon. I don’t remember whether it was when the moon was waxing or waning, but he maintained that whatever phase he selected caused his hair to grow less abundantly than if he had visited the barber at other times.
I asked him once where he got such an idea. He glared at me as though I were belittling his intelligence, and I never did get an answer to my question.
What I have said about plant and animal life may cause a lot of materialistic people to take violent issue, but it must be remembered that at work in the world are many forces of which we know little or nothing. Consider how many new principles were developed in World War II.
Without question, human imagination, visualization, and concentration are the chief factors in developing the subconscious mind’s magnetic forces. You have often heard the statement, “Hold that pose!” That, of course, means holding the mental picture or vision. Here again, suggestion—repeated suggestion—plays its part.
For example, you would like a new home. Your imagination goes to work. At first, you have only a hazy idea of the kind of house you would like. Then, as you discuss it with other members of your family—or ask questions of builders or look at illustrations of new houses—the mental picture becomes clearer and clearer, until you can visualize your ideal house in all its particulars.
After that, the subconscious goes to work to provide you with that house. It may come into manifestation in any number of ways. But do you really care whether you build it with your own hands, or whether it comes to you through purchase, or from the actions of outsiders? How it comes to you is of no great consequence!
When you are after a better job or planning a vacation trip, the process is the same. You’ve got to see it in your mind’s eye, see yourself as holding that job or actually taking the trip. Some of our fears become realities through our imaginations, just as Job’s did. Fortunately, many of them do not—as long as we hold the mental picture only temporarily, or at least not long enough to focus it fully upon the screen of our subconscious.
The Biblical warning, “Where there is no vision, the people perish,” is a fundamental truth, whether considered individually or collectively. For without the mental picture of accomplishment, little is done. You want a better job? You’ll get it when you give your subconscious mind a mental picture of yourself holding that jo.
As I write this, I think of the many experiences confided to me by those who have used this science during the years. I want to give you some of their stories, for in them you may perhaps find clues to an even more effective use of the principles and the mechanics which I am setting forth.
Using The Law Of Attraction With Goals
Many people think there is a conflict between the Law of Attraction, as taught in “The Secret” and goal-setting. The belief that you should let the Universe decide how to bring you your goal seems to conflict with planning your goal strategy. However, these two approaches are compatible. Let me explain.
A great majority of people believe that it is wrong to be too specific when they set goals. After viewing films like “The Secret”, which is wonderful and enlightening, some people have the false belief that being specific is the wrong approach. Many teachers in this movie guide you towards allowing the Universe to decide how you get what you want. So if we follow this approach how does setting a goal, complete with a plan for its attainment, fit into this attraction process?
Well, anyone who has achieved an objective through traditional goal-setting methods is well aware that including specific details is the key to its attainment. They fully realize that being as specific as you can increases the likelihood of achieving your goal. These specifics should include completion date, a plan to follow that will lead to the achievement of the goal, stepping stone goals and highly specific details of the goal itself. For example, you may set a goal to have an increase in turn-over of $10,000 by the end of the quarter. You immediately devise a plan to increase sales and begin to build your goal steps by setting smaller goals that will lead to bigger goals that will lead to the attainment of your desired outcome. So how does this fit into ‘The Universe knows the best way’ approach offered by most law of attraction experts?
Well it’s really very simple. When these teachers talk of not getting caught up in the specifics they do not mean the goal itself. They are referring to the delivery method of the goal. The Law of Attraction is always responding to your personal vibration. Your vibration is affected by what you think and how you feel. So if you get specific in your goal and even set time-limits for specific tasks then the Law of Attraction is responding to those thoughts and the feelings associated with them. By staying focused on the specifics your desired outcome and feeling very positive emotions about it and the attainment of it, you are adding tremendous power to the workings of the Law of Attraction. As long as you don’t feel negative about your goal, or the plan you have devised, goal-setting like this can be very powerful.
However, if you set your aims too high, or make your goals unrealistic, then the Law of Attraction will work against you! You feel overwhelmed, doubtful and stressed. The Law will respond to this and your attraction vibration will be the opposite of what you want. By over-stretching yourself you will get negative thoughts and feelings about your goal. But by setting realistic goals, that do still stretch you, you can fully utilize the Law of Attraction to your advantage.
One key element of the Law of Attraction is that you always get more of what you focus on. Placing your attention on certain things consistently makes them grow and expand. So, by setting goals and working a plan to achieve it you are actually focusing your energy, thoughts and emotions towards that of the desired objective. By having set time-limits for the achievement of each step of your goal and the goal itself your thoughts, energy and feelings are also focused in that direction. Thus you are following one of the fundamental rules of the Law of Attraction what you put our attention on expands. However, don’t get caught up on the one channel of distribution. Be open to the universe bringing you your goal any way it sees fit! You can still be specific about your plan but remain flexible and look for other opportunities.
The key is to always remain focused on the goal itself and not on the lack of it! You must also ensure you do not get frustrated if it appears that you may not reach your goal in the time-limit you specified. These are draw-backs of goal-setting as far as the Law of Attraction is concerned. However, they can be over-come.
Set realistic easily managed goals at first. Once you become proficient at goal-achievement you can start to stretch yourself a little more each time. As you begin to see overwhelming evidence that the Law of Attraction exists and that it is working in your favour you will be able to set you goals higher and bigger until there is nothing you cannot achieve.
Remember that when you reach for a goal to generate as much positive thoughts and feelings you can as they will ad power to your efforts through the Law of Attraction thus attracting more and more things to you that will get you closer and closer to your objective, until finally it falls in your lap!
Visualization and its Power
Building Mental Strength to Overcome Obstacles
How does a person achieve mental strength to perform a miracle?
How do you depart from “normal” thinking and step outside of your life? This is really the million dollar question. There are quintillion tools to help you build mental strength:
Wealth-building tapes Money-making seminars Positive-thinking seminars Mentoring
But the most important tool of all is past experience. I know you are
grimacing. Past experience can be a cruel tool to measure the future, but it can also be a constructive one. How? It is simple.
If you put a positive spin on your past experience, then you can propel yourself to a positive future. If you put a negative spin on past experience, then you can only see negative in the future. So you simply must see the positive situation in today’s experience.
Let’s review some of the film’s highlights:
“I will receive unexpected checks in the mail.” “Everything I touch turns to gold.”
Can you say this to yourself? I almost can. I have tried 5 businesses opportunities in 6 years. One offline business and the rest are online businesses, all are profitable except 1. But my attitude shifted drastically during those six years. The first year for all of them was horrible. If I had a negative attitude, my businesses or income would not exist today!
