Why does the “Law of Attraction” work for some and not others?

We know that Like attract like, but we also know opposites attract. So which one is working with the law of attraction?

We attract according to our beliefs. The Law of Attraction does not work according to your thoughts, wants or desires unless your BELIEF is in harmony with them. So if you have a desire,  but your belief is a thought of lack, then you get lack.  Another example is of relationships. If we want a particular relationship, but our thoughts are that we are unworthy, either we don’t get a relationship, or we get a relationship that makes us feel unworthy. When we want more money, and we constantly think about how much we don’t have, or about how much we want and we don’t have it, we draw experiences of lack and frustration. 

So, whatever we vibrate with is what we get more of. We get to choose whether our self-expression will be joyful or limiting.  That’s why it is so important to pay attention to what you are thinking and saying. If you ask for success and prepare for failure, you will get the situation you have prepared for.

Without BELIEF there is no action and without action, there is no accomplishment. The best way to create belief is with repetition. Repetition of positive affirmations works best.

You attract into your life a reflection of what you think. But you also attract into your life what you judge. If you think people are dishonest, you attract dishonest people. If you are focused on sickness or disease, you attract more. If you focus on poverty and lack, you gain nothing more than an empty bank account. Everything you hold in your conscious thought becomes your cage and your reality. See abundance, see honesty in all, embrace good emotionally happy people.

You don’t really need to leap down the quantum physics rabbit hole to buy into the existence of the law of attraction but in case you want to… let’s take a deeper look.

The Law of Polarity, states that everything that exists has an equal and exact opposite. To put it even stronger: for anything to exist, there has to be an equal and exact opposite.  Light cannot be experienced as such if you don’t know what darkness is. To feel successful, you must have a strong sense of what failure is.

Whatever you radiate or send out into the universe, in the form of thoughts, intentions, feelings, words and actions will inevitably be mirrored back to you in the form of circumstances and conditions which reflect the energy of what you sent out.  A mirror image is a reflected duplication that appears identical but in reverse. Life is a mirror, and we find only ourselves in our associates.

How about the scientific notion that Opposites Attract, does this negate the Law of Attraction?

Let’s take two people, one introvert and the other an extrovert. Most of the time, you will find that while there are some major differences between people that are attracted to each other under the Opposites Attract philosophy, there will also be some major issues or things they have in common, if they are to stay together in the long run. Yin and Yang are based on a need for completion. Yin and Yang need each other to experience oneness.

You can attract the opposite using the Law of Attraction. As an example, a farmer might be good at farming a product but might not be good at selling his product. He will need a sales person to sell his product. They are total opposites. They might attract each other as they are opposites. The farmer needs someone to sell and the sales person needs to have a product to sell.

A buyer and seller are clearly opposites in terms of what they do, but they are energetically compatible because each one is looking for what the other provides, hence they are drawn to each other.
Upon observing closely, you’ll find that every instance of attraction involves both opposites and similarities depending on what vantage point your looking at it from. In reality, you might attract something that looks like the opposite of what you imagined, but it will always be compatible with the energy of whatever you choose to focus on.

The Law of Polarity and the Law of Opposites Attract are not the same thing. The Law of Attraction and the Law of Opposites attract are not incompatible. They can be complimentary and not necessarily at cross purposes or conflicting.

The mystery of ‘like attracts like’ might be better expressed as complementary energies coming together to create a ‘whole’. Consider it as polarities rather than opposites. Think of a lock and key, a car and a driver or a hotdog and bun. So with greater wholeness as the objective, it can sometimes appear that opposites attract, when actually it is all for the greater expression of the One.

Consciousness and energy are the basis of manifesting. When you get into a certain vibration, it creates a magnet to attract the circumstances, people and things that are in alignment with your vibration.  However, sometimes we get sucked in by the matrix and our ego’s take over our thinking. This inevitable makes our manifesting powers more difficult.

Obviously a dose of good karma helps too!
