010: Like Attracts Like

Hello everyone and welcome to this episode of Hearing Voices – I’m David Angelo.
We are continuing our talk on The Law of Attraction – this week I’ll be using everyday occurrences as examples of how this Law works, often when we don’t even realize it.
Today’s Voices Heard comes from John Assaraf, Entrepreneur and contributor on the hit DVD movie The Secret; “What most people don’t understand is that a thought has a frequency. We can measure a thought. And so if you’re thinking that thought over and over and over again, if you’re imagining in your mind having that brand new car, having the money that you need, building that company, finding your soul mate…if you’re imagining what that looks like, you’re emitting that frequency on a consistent basis.”

Let’s get started…

Have you ever thought about someone that you hadn’t heard from in a while and then the phone rings and it’s them? How about when you’re trying to balance something and disaster strikes and you say “I knew that was going to happen!”
Without even thinking about it (no pun intended) you have been inviting these things into your experience by your continued focus of them and the Law of Attraction has given you more of the same based on your feelings. For example, I would like a new car – how long before it gets here. Well, the truth be told the care is already here – just look around! But getting it into your driveway? Well, how badly do you really want it? Really want it? Remember the example of balancing something, like say a stack of dishes, and the disaster that struck was that they all fell from your grasp? Why? Your thoughts, and the intensity of your feelings around those thoughts. Somewhere you were thinking “Please don’t let these fall and break…please don’t let these fall and break…please don’t…” Right? Your focus, your thoughts, your feelings, everything was in perfect alignment to allow for a manifestation. And The Law did not disappoint. Unlike the car in your driveway, or lack thereof, because more than likely your first thought is “I want a car” The Universe comes back with “What kind? New or old? What color?” In other words – specifics. And for a lot of us that’s hard. Ok, so you get the specifics down, then your “other” voice says “yeah, right, like this is really gonna happen.” And you try to counter the negative banter with positive affirmations.

I think you get the idea – the disaster happened because everything was focused on it. The car has some doubters that need convincing.
In the book The Secret, John Assaraf says “Our job as humans is to hold on to the thoughts of what we want, make it absolutely clear in our minds what we want, and from that we start to invoke one of the greatest laws in the Universe, and that’s the Law of Attraction. You become what you think about most, but you also attract what you think about most.”
Here’s what foils most peoples’ creations. Most people focus more about what they don’t want than what they do want. And then they wonder why they are always getting the things they don’t want.
I’m sure everyone has had this experience, you’re out with a group of friends and someone says, “What do you want to do?” Its rare that anyone will come up with a definite answer, usually everyone will say “I don’t know.” But as soon as someone makes a suggestion the rest of group will chime back “Nah!” See, few of us know what we really want but most all of us know what we don’t want.

So the homework is – get to really know who you are – what are your dreams? And don’t filter your thoughts on this, there are no limits don’t censor yourself. What do you like?
Remember sitting on Santa’s lap and he would ask – what would you like for Christmas? We had no problem answering THAT question. Become kid-like again and allow yourself to dream.

I’ll end today’s episode from a quote by Lisa Nichols, contributor to the book The Secret – “The Law of Attraction is...
