{"product_id":"law-of-attraction-how-it-works","title":"Law of Attraction: How it Works","description":"This book will empower you to overcome any difficulty you have in life.\n\nThe earliest written expression of the idea now known as the law of attraction (LOA) is attributed to Hermes Trismegistus and is found in a text called the Emerald Tablet, which includes the widely quoted phrase, “as above, so below.” The LOA can also be traced to Plato's law of affinity, which states, “likes tend toward like.”\n\nUntil the birth of the New Thought movement in the late 1800s, prototypical ideas about the LOA circulated within occult subcultures including alchemy, Hermeticism, Gnosticism, Rosicrucianism, Kabbalism, witchcraft, and many other secret societies and mystery school traditions. Scholars have grouped all of these various ideas under the single label of Western esotericism, and there are three fundamental ways to view these esoteric, mysterious ideas:\nThey are nonsense or foolishness. They are heretical or dangerous. They stem from, or are based on, a single strand of truth referred to as perennial philosophy, which runs through all of the traditional religions as well as all of the various occult subcultures.\nToday, all of the world’s religions and occult subcultures remain split into various groups because the people within those groups have yet to realize the single strand of truth that unites them all is the law of attraction. The New Thought movement is essentially a process of enculturation that is removing the barriers between all of these groups by introducing a common set of language, values and rituals that everyone can share.\n\nIs the LOA foolishness or dangerous? Why was it kept secret for so long, and why are millions of people now spreading the LOA’s gospel of health, wealth and love? There is one simple answer: It works.\n\nThis book is organized into three parts. Part I is the Introduction and Foundation, which includes Chapters 1 through 4, and describes how the law of attraction was first recognized in ancient history and how, over time, it was referred to by different practices and ultimately came to be known as the law of attraction within the New Thought movement, which began in the late 1800s:\n\n1. Introduction\n2. How it All Began\n3. As Above, So Below\n4. The Philosopher’s Stone\n\nPart II, Chapters 5 through 17, follows a chronological sequence of how New Thought principles were communicated through literature between 1885 and 2021. The titles of Chapters 8 through 17 reflect the titles of influential New Thought books published during those time periods:\n\n5. Origin of the New Thought Movement (1766 – 1866)\n6. Expansion of the New Thought Movement (Mid-to-Late 1800s)\n7. First Law of Attraction Books (1885 – 1904)\n8. The Science of Getting Rich (1905 – 1920)\n9. The Science of Mind (1921 – 1935)\n10. The Feeling is the Secret (1936 – 1950)\n11. The Power of Positive Thinking (1951 – 1960)\n12. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind (1961 - 1975)\n13. A Course in Miracles (1961 – 1975)\n14. Creative Visualization and You Can Heal Your Life (1976 – 1984)\n15. Conversations with God (1995 – 2005)\n16. The Secret and the Law of Attraction (2006 – 2011)\n17. One Simple Idea (2012 – 2021)\n\nPart III, which begins with Chapter 18, addresses the science of consciousness (the science of mind) and its relevance to the law of attraction:\n\n18. Frequencies, Vibrations and all that Jazz\n19. What is Quantum Mechanics?\n20. Law of Attraction: Hidden Variables?\n21. Conclusion: Disinformation and Misinformation\n\nBeginning in Chapter 9 and in subsequent chapters, the book explores some of the relationships between the mind (consciousness) and paranormal phenomena, which have been associated with the law of attraction throughout history.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0BPR6YMB1\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0BPR6YMB1.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sanguinetti, E.
