Scientific Evidence for The Secret's Law of Attraction

People have been asking for scientific evidence for the Law of Attraction ever since the movie The Secret hit the Internet four years ago last month.

I’m excited to report it’s here in the form of a readable book.

I was in Utah last week visiting my Miracles Coaching team when I decided to walk off dinner by going to a bookstore. There I found the brand new book, The Science Behind the Secret: Decoding the Law of Attraction, by Travis S. Taylor, Ph.D.

science behind secret

That book kept me up all night. It’s riveting. Taylor is a physics, aerospace and electrical engineer. He worked for the Department of Defense and NASA. He also writes sci-fi books. After he saw the movie The Secret, he began exploring the history and evidence for the Law of Attraction.

According to Taylor, the Law of Attraction is not new. He can trace it all the way back to Jainism in ancient India, about four thousand years ago. He follows its development through Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) on to around the mid-1800s, when people such as Helena Blavatsky, James Allen, and William Walker Atkinson specifically used the term “Law of Attraction” in their books. Taylor continues his historic overview right through the 1980s, with books by Jerry and Esther Hicks.

Also according to Taylor, the Law of Attraction is not a law. He declares that the “law” is more an adage; a philosophical or psychological maxim. He doesn’t dismiss it; he simply says it’s not a law by strict scientific proof. There’s no empirical evidence for it.

But Dr. Taylor doesn’t stop there.

Turns out he’s a fan of The Secret. He calls the teachers in it (apparently even me) “Yoda’s.” He really likes Louise Hay (who isn’t in the movie). He says you can influence reality by how you think. His entire book is a respected scientist’s view of how the Law of Attraction (law, maxim, or adage) actually works.

He goes on to explain new theories of the brain, and of reality, and states you can influence reality by holding a thought with emotion and imagery. In essence what you are doing is sending a “qwiff” into the energy field we’re all in. That qwiff (a quantum wave function) goes out and gets “attracted” to (or seeks and finds) other similar qwiffs. The result is often a new reality.

Stop and think about this…

Stating there are new theories of the brain, as well as of human experience, reveals that “reality” must be a construct that matches whatever we say.

In other words, if you believe that the brain is like a computer (called a Turing Machine), you look at it as you do your Mac or PC. It’s a mechanical device that works in a linear way.

But if you trash that model of reality and say the brain is more like what physicist Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff say, that human consciousness is a Orchestrated Objective Reduction (a type of quantum computer), then you now have a new, empowering theory: that the human mind impacts reality.

Again, please note that these scientists are all trying to figure out how the world works. Also note that they are creating theories and then testing them. Further note that as long as they believe in their theories, they can find proof for them.

Doesn’t that in itself prove what you think is what you create?

According to Dr. Taylor, who prefers the quantum brain theory of everything, you can create a new reality for yourself by imagining it’s already fulfilled. This creates an energy field that gets launched into the Universe, on a mission to find whatever it needs to become your new reality.

This fits with the concept that photons and other particles don’t organize until they are observed. It appears that when you state an intention, you help organize them. This is what I called “Nevillizing” (named after author Neville Goddard) in my book, The Attractor Factor. This is what gets everyone excited, including me.

Want a new bike?

Dr. Taylor writes —

“The right way to use your quantum brain is to set up the thought pattern of the reality that you actually have that new bicycle. You must envision yourself riding that new bicycle. You just fantasize how it feels to ride the new bicycle…This is how you set up a qwiff to get a response from the universe in a positive manner.”

By focusing your energized thought on the finished goal of what you desire, you send a type of cosmic order into the Universe. As you act on the ideas and opportunities that come to you, after you place this focused intention into the world, you tend to attract what you desire into your reality.

Of course, this is nothing new. Here’s what the mystic Neville wrote in his 1944 book, Feeling Is The Secret:

“To impress the subconscious with the desirable state you must assume the feeling that would be yours had you already realized your wish.”

Or, as Neville hand signed in one of his books: “Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled.”

neville note

All of this is to say the Law of Attraction is real.

It may not be considered a law (yet) by strict scientific experiment, but it definitely works.

This is why you must monitor your thoughts and choose the ones you prefer. Those thoughts – especially when combined with emotion and image and focused on – tend to go out into the world as “qwiffs” and attract a match to create a physical new reality.

This is why new tools such as Mindy Audlin’s “What if UP” thinking are so important. What you focus your thoughts on with emotion tends to come to pass. This is why you tend to attract what you love, fear, or hate. There’s raw emotion behind those thoughts. Since you have a choice, why not choose the high road?

In fact, it’s so important to keep “upping” your thoughts to better feeling ones that I saw this sign on the sales floor of my Miracles Coaches offices:

what if up

Again, the Law of Attraction is real.

Don’t call it a law if that makes you feel better.

But the operating principle behind The Secret works.

Taylor’s book is a fun, fast read. He’s a friendly, conversational writer. He knows his readers are not physicists. He’s patient. He’s kind. He’s wise.

I love his book. It’s the best one I’ve seen yet explaining the science behind how your thinking creates your reality.

I also like that he included a chapter about skeptics. He urges you to ignore them. They aren’t helping anyone. They are very often sinister, anecdotal, and without logic.

Instead, Dr. Taylor advises to “…focus our efforts on the brighter , happier side of things and simply test our theories. The outcome will shine light on the darker corners of humanity and wash them out.”

Einstein put it this way in 1954 –

“A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

You can help yourself break free with Dr. Taylor’s book. If you’ve been looking for scientific evidence for the Law of Attraction or the movie The Secret, you’ll find it in the pages of The Science Behind the Secret.

You’ll find the book in book stores and of course online at Amazon.

Meanwhile, watch the thoughts you “qwiff” into the world.

What you think does make a difference.

And that’s no secret.

Ao Akua,

Joe

The Secret of Wealth Attraction

How do you use the the law of abundance and the law of attraction to attract money or attract wealth?

Wealth attraction is all about understanding the hidden secret of money.

In short, money will match your mindset.

Let me repeat that:

Money will match your mindset.

You need to understand that you have a mindset toward money. It is in your unconscious. It is either attracting or repelling money to you. Change that mindset and you can have more money. I’ll be explaining all of this in my next book, Attract Money Now, but let me talk about this a little right now.

Free New book: Attract Money Now

Recently I went to Ohio and witnessed a meeting designed to end poverty. It’s working, too. It’s the heart-child and brain-child of Scott Miller, who wrote the mind-stretching book, Until It’s Gone.

Scott teaches people in poverty that they have a hidden mindset toward money that is keeping them broke. They think in terms of scarcity, panic, fear, threat, lack and limitation. They also think in terms of victimhood.

But people in the middle class have a mindset toward money, too. They think a little more broadly, but still think in terms of limitations and fears. People in poverty can’t see past the fear of the moment. People in middle class can’t see beyond the job wage they get.

Wealthy people also have a mindset toward money. They may think more abundantly, but often they aren’t thinking of others. They, like most people, are focused on their survival, only on a more luxurious level.

In order to attract money or attract wealth, you have to awaken from your unconscious programming. The secret to using the law of abundance or law of attraction is to expand your relationship to money and wealth. Become aware of the hidden beliefs and then change them.

Here are three ways to do just that:

1. Get The Secret to Attracting Money. This is my in-depth audio program on attracting money. It contains everything from a money attraction IQ test to a practical and spiritual system for becoming a money magnet. It works.

2. Get my free book Attract Money Now. I’m writing this to help you. I plan to give it away. It will reveal a proven seven step formula for attracting money that will work for anyone who uses it. Yes, even you.

3. Get a Miracles Coach. Nothing works faster or better than having a coach. This is the #1 secret to success of every major player you can name. Get a coach and transform your life.

In short, you can attract more money — a wonderful tool for helping yourself and others — by simply becoming more awake. And you begin the process of awakening by taking action right now.

What are you going to do next?

Ao Akua,
