Understanding The Law Of Attraction

The Law of Attraction & Religion
   

There is nothing in the Law of Attraction that defies or negates any religious teachings. For instance, "Ask and ye shall receive," said Jesus, and so does the Law of Attraction.

The 2nd step of the Law of Attraction is Accept and what it teaches is that you are not the one bringing you that which you desire. The 2nd step of the Law of Attraction explains that once you've Asked for whatever it is you wish to receive, the Universe has already begun the process of delivering it to you.

The difference between this concept and religious doctrine is really just a matter of semantics. Replace the word "Ask" with the word "Pray" and the word "Universe" with the word "God" and you've summarized what pretty much every great world religion has to say on the subject.

The Law of Attraction is in agreement with religion because it recognizes a force that is at once part of us and greater than us, and from which all things flow. That source energy has many different names, but whichever one you choose to call it, the concept is the same: that you are not the one "creating" anything, that it is not your job to figure out how to get from point A to point B. It is merely your role to express the desire to get to point B and then to trust this greater power to guide you there, in doing so allowing "God's will" to be done. It is the very essence of Faith - and it is precisely what the Law of Attraction teaches.

Welcoming God's love into your heart is the same as the 3rd step of the Law of Attraction - Allowing. Resistance is resistance, whether you are resisting God or resisting your own deservingness of being happy and fulfilled. Trust is trust, whether you are trusting God or trusting that whatever you ask for, you are given - if only you are ready to receive it.

The Bible is filled with stories of individuals applying the Law of Attraction to tremendous effect, only they didn't call it that. Abraham, Moses, King Solomon, Paul, even Job - they all used it. So did Mohammed. As did Buddha, waiting by the stream for enlightenment to come, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it would. The Law of Attraction is the farthest thing from New Age. It is timeless, and its application is as ancient as the origins of humanity.

The Law of Attraction has no conflict whatsoever with religion. On the contrary, it corresponds perfectly with religion, reinforcing it. The Law of Attraction is neither blasphemy nor heresy. It is merely a non-denominational process for connecting with the divine. What more religious a concept can there be?
