The Science of Getting Rich
The Law of Attraction is an idea that has been around in various forms for many years. Its underlying premise is that you can mold and shape your future by thinking about it. The evidence is extensive, but it is largely anecdotal. The difficulty in proving that something happened that would not have otherwise occurred is impossible to test and validate in any way. There are hundreds, even thousands of individuals who are willing to state that the theory worked for them. Other individuals have the opposite viewpoint. They say that it’s just wishful thinking and doesn’t work for them one bit.
The acceptance of such tenets have been incorporated into many books and movies. For example, The Secret, Think and Grow Rich and The Science of Getting Rich are all major works stating that thought is the cause of reality. There are almost as many well known works critical of the concept. These include “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers” and writings by Ali Alousi, Mary Carmichael and Ben Radford.
The concept of the principles of this Law state that if you can desire something fully, you will attract that item or event to you. There is doubt but that the shift in thinking is popular. It is not completely new either. Writings and authors through the ages have long espoused the concept that the power of the mind can overcome all obstacles. The concept might be couched in philosophical terms or spiritual terms, or paranormal terms, but it is the same.
DVDs, seminars, books, movies, essays, lectures and articles have been prepared numbering in the thousands. For those who have determined to make this process work, it sounds very simple. You just decide what you want and the Universe will provide it for you. In practice, this is not nearly as easy as it sounds. The implementation of the principles may require a lengthy period of determined practice. Not everyone has the determination or stubbornness to keep at something when they see no immediate results.
The difficulty with believing the entire concept of the Law is that it doesn’t incorporate negative happenings into the continuum. It seems that no one would wish negative things to happen in their life. Yet, life is not always positive, even for those who practice the Law religiously. The question is asked if the wanting is not strong enough, or if someone else’s practice of the law is more powerful and can be used against others.
If you eliminate the possibility of a being more powerful in charge of things, then a Universe that is out of balance, or a Universe that is totally positive is possible. The bottom line for critics of the Law is that it is not measurable from a scientific standpoint. The Power of Positive thinking certainly doesn’t hurt one’s approach to life, but you can’t measure the results. It is a totally subjective measurement.
The two areas of the Law that are most often used for practice of the principles are finances and health. If you earn more money or have possessions that satisfy your desire to have goods and houses, you can claim that you have used the principles correctly. If your every thought is directed toward improving your financial status, you are likely to take the action that will further your progress towards that goal. You might get an education, or practice skills that pay for themselves. You might be drawn towards more profitable careers.
The Law of Attraction can also apply to your health. You can expect to be healthier if you think about what you are eating, exercise regularly and avoid habits that are harmful to your health. Nevertheless, the thing that is utmost in most peoples’ minds these days is MONEY. People want to get rich. The Law of Getting Rich cannot be taught better by anyone else than the teachers of THE SECRET themselves. Together with his team, Bob Proctor has developed the law of attracting wealth to a Science. They call it the Science of Getting Rich Program (The SGR Program). Let’s listen to this message by Bob Proctor himself.
