Bob Doyle, creator of the Wealth Beyond Reason program and one of the teachers featured in “The Secret” movie has made another video podcast in response to many questions people have about the Law of Attraction with respect to religious beliefs, the media and science. I think it is one of Bob’s best responses so far as it’s important to realize that no religion is called into question when discussing the subject that we all create our own reality.

I’ll let Bob explain this as he is far better at doing so than I am!

Law of Attraction, Science, the Media, and Religion.

After being invited to write a post about 10 things that happened to me by Joanne at "I’m Happy Fish" I wasn’t sure if I could remember 10 things that had happened to me that would actually be interesting to read. Still, after Joanne kindly tagged me I started to write without having a list planned first. It took a while, but here it is. It’s been quite a journey of self discovery!.

As I write I have just had an idea. Seeing as I am enthusiastically in the process of discovering what habits and patterns I perpetuate that create the results I currently have in my life and having the intention of changing them, so they create the results I want rather than the ones I just get given to me I thought it appropriate to make a statement.

I acknowledge and I take responsibility for the fact that what happens to me does not simply happen to me, but in fact came from within me. Not intentionally or consciously, but nonetheless came into my reality through certain thinking and or behavioral patterns… somehow.

Now I have made that clear, here are 10 things that, at the time I perceived as happening to me. They are in no particular order:

I hope you enjoyed reading the 10 things that "happened" to me. This was hard work. I had trouble going through my memory banks to find these facts. It has been quite a journey and, in many ways quite a cleansing experience for me. It’s great when a blog post has this affect on me because I feel that there is more chance it will provide some value to those who read it. I feel I have exposed my self quite a bit in this post, which proved to me that I have grown since I started this blog. I am more open to sharing these days. Thank you so much Joanne for tagging me to do this post.

In a post I made in July about having some "Car Trouble". I told the story of how I attracted a large amount of drama into my life during a period of a week or two. My life since has not seemed anywhere near as dramatic since then, which I see as good, although it gives me less interesting material to write about! Still I am not going to wish for any particular situations one way or another regarding this due to what I am about to mention in this post.

It is the following chapter in the story. One month ago my insurance claim was settled for my old car and therefore the shiny red, new sporty car I had been provided with had to go back. I had 7 days more driving of it and then it would be collected. Unfortunately the claim on my old car left me with nowhere near enough money to buy a new car, so I would be without wheels and reliant on the train for getting to work, so I remember making an affirmation to myself whilst driving the new car during that last week. I only said it once and then forgot about it.

Please listen… "Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it". This article explains why this is more than just a smug-sounding cliché

What I "wished" as I was driving the car home was this "I want to keep this car for as long as I possibly can even though it is scheduled to go back in 7 days".

What followed was uncanny. For three weeks that car sat on my driveway, unable to be driven because I was no longer insured to drive it. On 3 separate occations somebody was due to collect it and they never turned up at my house. One of these occasions they even called me to ask if they could come and collect the car "within the hour sir" and they never showed. I had to call the company 3 times to remind them that the car was still in my posession and that I was getting really frustrated seeing as I couldn’t drive it. I just wanted it gone! All it was doing was reminding me that I couldn’t drive this lovely car, which just annoyed the heck out of me! Every representative of the car company that I spoke to was shocked that I still had the car on my drive. "That’s unbelievable. This has never happened before".

So to summarize. I wished I could have the car for as long as possible, longer than I should have it. I did. What I realize now that I should have affirmed to myself was ""I want to keep this car for as long as I possibly can even though it is scheduled to go back in 7 days and legally be able to drive it! ". Oh how it all makes sense now…

The car was collected this morning and now my drive is empty.

I am increasingly aware of what I am attracting into my everday reality these days and even though I am finding it easy to take responsibility for that and not go into "victim" mode so often I still find on occasion a situation that really gets to me.

First of all, a positive note:
I only put Adsense on my PowerBook Studio site about a week ago. The site has been due for a redesign for ages, so I hadn’t made any effort to start monetizing it because it didn’t really have any helpgful information, just more of a showcase for some of my work. Anyway I added some Google Adsense ads at the top of the page and that is it. Basically no more than two "clickable" ads on the entire site and what I noticed was that the click-through ratio was pretty high. About 30%. There are not that many visitors to PowerBook Studio just yet, but it seems that all those that are visiting are very much into the subject matter. This is a greeat feeling because the plans I have for this site give me the belief that it will be a great monetized information site, providing a valuable service to readers and, suprise surprise is a subject I am most passionate about. Go figure! More evidence that following your true passion will bring you the rewards. That’s the good news…

The not so good bit.
The encouraging number of clicks on my Google ads came from looking at my stats on Mybloglog where I have received about 20 clicks in the last week (not bad for a very low traffic site!), but my Google Adsense reports show nothing. I have had a number of email discussions on this subject with Google support and basically the response is " Nothing we can do, we do not endorse 3rd party tracking systems, possible fraudulent clicks (HOW?)". It is really pushing my buttons because no matter how many times I complain and ask them why they cannot investigate further, they come back with the same response. I feel like I am arguing with God. There is seemingly no way to move that stubborn mule way of thinking.

Now, although find it difficult to accept I realize that I have attracted this annoyance into my reality. I can’t figure out how, but I suppose that is not the point. If I can let this go then I have to trust that what I am due, if I am due anything will come to me, whether it is from Google or in some other form. However I do think this raises some practical issue for all those who have the same problem, but maybe have hundreds or thousands of clicks at stake.

1. Are Google making up their stats as they see fit and if so, how long have they been making up the rules?
2. Are Google actually receiveing any revenue from those clicks, which they tell me are not clicks at all?
3. How long will it be before nobody trusts Google’s handling of Adsense, which doesn’t actually require them to provide any evidence of what is real and what is not?
4. Has anybody even thought about question 3 before?

OK ranting over, now back to work creating the life of my dreams!

Another string of night shifts has left me feeling completely drained. It seems lately that I am becoming more easily "bruised" by my working situation. I also discovered a few other office-politics-related facts recently, which don’t sit very well with my desire to maintain my positive outlook on everything.

This is more proof of the transformation of my subconscious conditioning because it’s always when a commited effort is started to re-program your habitual behaviour that you will experience what appear to be a series of personal tests. It is the automatic behavoural subconscious mind reacting to the onslought of a desired change. This is why I am coming up against various negatively-motivated actions from the outside. My mind is trying it’s hardest to stay in vibrational alignment with those old occurences out of familiarity I guess.

So my positive spin on it all is this: I am suffering increasingly in terms of my energy levels and I am experienceing tales of generally negative attitudes of others, so I am simply attracting this as proof that this situation is not congruent to my real purpose in life. Any doubts I may have had about taking a leap of faith and following my dreams has weakened significantly.

My quote for the day "I am the Champ, my voice of doubt and fear is no contender! It’s lying on the canvas and the count has begun".

I said I wouldn’t write a long post, but this post is an introduction to a new article on this site called The Law Of Attraction: An Experience. I feel it contains some crucial information about how this universe works and how any situation is the “right” one at the time, despite how bad it may appear.

The story starts just over a week beforehand. I normally have no trouble getting to work on time. I always leave an hour and a half before I am due to start in the evening and usually arrive 15 to 20 minutes before my start time.  Somehow, since studying various books and DVDs on applying a new mindset for success and to achieve the things I desire, things started to change. All of a sudden, it was not so easy to get to work on time. I would come up against traffic, there would be an accident ahead on the motorway or construction work on my route into work. It seemed that the more I tried to beat the traffic the worse it got. It got so bad that I even left for work 2 hours in advance and still arrived 20 minutes late. I started to realize that I was attracting chaos, which I will explain in more detail in my next article.

I then made a choice to try a completely different route into work and leave 2 hours early and not to change my mind about the route I would take. I got to work on time, but I still experienced delays. I then would have a few days off before my next shift at work, so I thought that by then this situation I was somehow creating for myself would be gone.

In the morning as I set off to return home I experienced quite a shock! A large truck drove straight into the back of my car while I was stationary, completely destroying my little old car. Almost my first thought was that I was attracting this situation and now it was a step up in terms of severity that the previous week’s so –called crises. I thought that if I was being giving subtle hints about something by finding myself stressed in traffic, then whatever that message was had grown from a whisper and a nudge to a forceful screaming in my face “WAKE UP TO IT”. As you may be aware, this website is about my desire to live a life free from the usual commute and maybe it really is time to make the break and simply choose to be free of it.

The events that have happened in the two days since are extraordinary because they have given me one-hundred percent proof that: a) The Law of Attraction is the truth and b) My wealth consciousness is on the rise, yes really.

As I sat in my father’s car being driven home from the hospital I felt really annoyed that I would now have to go into work by train. I hate the train and I said to myself. “I don’t know how, but I am driving to work on my next shift in 3 days time”. When I contacted my insurance company to go through all the usual formalities of making a claim I discovered that my policy included a courtesy car, as long as the accident was not my fault, which it wasn’t. The car would arrive the next day. “Great” I thought. “I’m driving to work!” The car would be a “like for like”. A car of similar specification would be provided, so I would expect a 5-door small hatchback, small engine and automatic. When the car arrived I nearly fell over! It was a 2 door, large-engine, sports coupe-convertible with manual transmission! My first thought was “Wow, that’s an upgrade!”. However I declined the car because I couldn’t see very much out of the back, my neck was stiff from the accident and I actually felt quite vulnerable in this car, so I was then provided with a smaller, 5 door, automatic car. However this car is a sporty, red, Italian car and is brand-new, so I have still experienced a massive upgrade, temporarily at least.

For the last two weeks I have started focusing on my “Dream car”. Something I never really thought about before, but I started putting some energy into visualizing this car as well as my dream home and my dream lifestyle and occupation. This is proof to me that in doing so my natural vibration is more in synergy with the things I want than before or to say it another way I have started to raise my wealth consciousness.

This may not make sense to some people, but I see it like this: In order for me to step up my vibration, my wealth consciousness, whatever I needed a very sharp kick to shift me out of the groove that I was comfortably running along in. The subtle hints didn’t work, the accident woke me up to it and the result of the accident provided me with some evidence of the law of attraction at work. I have been temporarily provided with a brand-new car!

The big question therefore is this: What is the ultimate message here. What am I being given the chance to see? Well, knowing my goals and what I aim to achieve as soon as I possibly can I can say that the message is for me to leave the office and to embark on my new life without fear. I have had my life spared twice now in two years and I realize that the only fears I have ever truly had is “What if I run out of money?” and “What if I fail?”, which really lead to one overall fear “What will people think of me?”. Not anymore, those questions really are for losers I’m afraid because those fears only become a reality if you focus on them.

Well I haven’t felt too inspired to post for a while because haven’t naturally been able to come out with anything worth reading. Now that I have however I am not going to put it in this post.

I’m not a big fan of writing very long posts. I’d rather save that for articles on this site, so this post is to inform you that an article will be published here tomorrow (under ‘articles’, would you believe ) that I know will interest those who already are familiar with what I am talking about when I mention the terms Wealth consciousness, law of attraction and vibrational alignment and I hope will interest those who are not.

Any concern I may have had up until yesterday about what people might think of me writing about such things is now gone, so I wish to share some recent experience and insight.

This story is definitely going into a book.

Bob Doyle is a guy I have a great deal of respect for, so whenever there is any news from him I always take notice. Today is such a day and thus gives birth to this post.

If you don’t know already, Bob features in the movie "The Secret" and explains things in a very practical way. There’s nothing "New Age Hippy" about Bob Doyle! This is one of the reasons that what he has to say always interests me.

Now if you know about "The Secret", you may have some opinions on the message that it gives. I’m not here to suggest whether certain opinions are right or wrong, but I know that many people do have certain objections and questions about the Law of Attraction and how it is presented in the movie.

Bob has produced a short video in response to this and I would like to share it here as I think it will help clarify a lot of points that people might have preconceptions about.

It would be a tragic shame if somebody didn’t live their life to it’s fullest because they misunderstood a simple message and all it may have taken was that message to be explained again. After all, if your doctor tells you that you have six months to live and you need to "make preparations", wouldn’t you get a second opinion?

I have read a fair bit over the last few weeks about the Law Of Attraction, which seems to be the latest buzz phrase on the net, which is a little annoying because any mention of it may appear like jumping on the bandwagon, but instead of not mentioning it through fear of what people will perceive about this post I’ll post it because these are my words and I wish to write about my experiences of it, which will come in due course.

No doubt there are many people trying to cash in the notion that you can have anything you want if you "wish it hard enough".

The thing is though that the Law of Attraction seems to be nothing like that at all and whilst it’s something I have only been studying for a few weeks it resonates with alot of things I have had insights to and interest in for a number of years. At times here I will post about the Law of Attraction and if and how I am applying it to my life. I’m very excited about it. It seems to say something very real at a very deep level to me. I have always thought of myself as open to having my world turned upside down and it has been in a small way in the past, but I guess the proof of how open-minded I am will show over the coming weeks and months.

If I have the ability to maintain a solid level of commitment and trust in a process then I feel that the Law of Attraction could become a fixture at Leave The Office.

This subject is covered in an extremely down-to-earth way at The Neural Recon Report, where I share my personal experiences of the various ways in which I am applying new principles to empower myself and create the life of my dreams. Most of which are proving to be very effective in providing me with noticeable change.
