The law of attraction is a hugely popular topic at present, and understanding the implications of this law is central to magic.  Essentially, what we call magic is the law of attraction.  It is not the easiest perspective to understand, but I think it is one worth investigating and disicussing.  There are a number if interpretations out there about how best to manipulate this law, and I thought it would be a great idea for us to share some of the things we have read or lectures we have heard regarding the subject.  

To start, I would like to provide a link to a series of short lectures available for free on the web by Esther/Abraham Hicks. They are a bit fast-past, but I'll provide a brief summary of each in following posts.

Hicks Lecture 1: Overview of the Law of Attraction

In this first lecture, Abraham (by way of Esther) is presenting the basic theory behind the law of attraction. �The law of attraction is a law of energy. �Our reality is a construct of energy. �What we perceive as things or objects according to our senses simply are manifestations of how our senses choose to frame and model the world around us. �The world around us appears the way it does because memories or thought forms are things that have developed since the beginning of time to predisposed us to view the world in a certain way. �

Remember, we are energy as well; consequently, we cannot be destroyed�we are eternal. Therefore, the models we use to perceive the world have existed long before what we generally consider our birth. �

Our reality exists the way it does because that is how we think and feel it should exist. �We are energy, our feelings and thoughts are energy, and our world is energy�in fact, we are all the same energy. �You are your work manifested. �

What makes humans unique is that we can change our reality at will, as we are sentient beings. �If we direct our thoughts and feelings to a specific goal, this energy that is us is sent out in waves to manifest this as reality. �Hence, if you feel depressed and think negative thoughts, you are sending out vibrations into this field of energy that will manifest your feelings and thoughts to correspond with who you perceive the world. �The secret of the law of attraction is to recognize this underlying process and learn who to manipulate it. � �
