Law of Attraction Secret
According to Mitch Horowitz, in his new book, One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life, the phrase “Law of Attraction” was first used in 1855 by a trance medium named Andrew Jackson Davis.
A trance medium?
That was news to me.
I have an entire library of vintage New Thought, metaphysical, and spiritual books, yet never heard of Davis.
Apparently Davis went into trances and dictated metaphysical messages. His medium side channeled a large body of work, including a six-volume set of spiritual laws called, The Great Harmonia.
In volume four, Davis used the term “Law of Attraction.” But Davis meant the law to refer to the kinds of spirits you attracted to yourself after you died and went to the other side. His term had nothing to do with the cause-and-effect law we think of today.
It was in 1892 that the law as we know it began to take shape.
Prentice Mulford, an early New Thought author, mentioned it in his famous book, Your Forces, And How to Use Them.
In 1897, Ralph Waldo Trine used the term in his classic book, In Tune with the Infinite.
And Helen Wilmans used the term in her 1899 book, Conquest of Poverty.
But the biggest push in getting “Law of Attraction” into mainstream thinking came in 1902, when William Walker Atkinson devoted an entire chapter to the subject in his book, The Law of the New Thought.
As you can see, the term has been around a long time.
Of course, the core LOA (Law of Attraction) concept of “your thoughts create reality” goes all the way back to Buddha, Jesus, and ancient cultures.
Only the phrase “Law of Attraction” is relatively new – at least from 1855, if Mitch Horowitz’s research is accurate (and I believe it is.)
Reveals History of LOA
All of this reading and research caused me to go back and re-read some of my favorite LOA authors, to be reminded of their stories and secrets.
One of them is Brown Landone, a prolific author who lived almost 100 years and wrote such gems as The Success Process and How to Turn Your Desires and Ideals into Realities.
In my 1927 copy of The Success Process, Landone uses chapter three to explain “The ‘Doing Process’ Which Always Succeeds.”
I smiled to see how much focus he put on taking action, one of the most overlooked steps in many modern Law of Attraction groupies.
But Landone spelled out that the kind of action you need to take is what he called “idealized doing.”
For him, you began with “vivid imagining.”
That meant using all your senses to experience the end result of what you wanted to attract.
But the next step was to envision the process of getting there.
While you may not know all the steps needed to attract or achieve a specific intention, the more you could use your senses to see the ideal action to take, the easier it would be to guarantee success.
Landone wrote –
“Your ideal of the end you desire to attain is the ‘star’ to which you should hitch your wagon of attainment. But, very much depends upon the way in which you do the hitching. Idealized doing always succeed.”
I love the fact that Law of Attraction has gone mainstream, thanks to movies and books like The Secret, and my own books such as The Attractor Factor, but I’m often dismayed that people have a superficial understanding of it.
For example, too many LOA practicioners think all they have to do is sit and visualize and what they want will “just appear.”
Well, it might just appear.
The car might appear in your driveway.
The love of your life might ring your doorbell.
But more often than not, you have to help the process along with inspired action.
Go to a car dealership.
Visit a matching service.
Do something.
Another example of an LOA fallacy is believing you get what you consciously think.
In reality, you attract what you unconsciously believe.
In other words, you can consciously believe, visualize and affirm all you want, but if you unconsciously believe something different, you won’t get your intention.
I’ve said it many times —
An unconscious counter-intention will always veto a conscious intention.
You can affirm “Money is coming to me” all day but if you unconsciously believe “Money is bad,” then you will not attract more money, or if you do, you will get rid of it fast.
Your unconscious is far more powerful than your conscious. You have to work with it to clearly and quickly manifest the results you prefer.
These points are just minor examples of the depth behind the Law of Attraction that most people aren’t at all aware of yet.
What can you do to understand LOA and use it correctly?
In my opinion, nothing is more powerful than having your own Miracles Coach.
Meanwhile, if you’ve tried to harness the Law of Attraction’s power in your own life to attract money (or anything else) and feel you’ve “failed,” then you need to see this all-new video from me http://428155.vitalesecrets.com?subid=missinglink

Where's the Book?
Talk about emotion.
The long awaited sequel to my book Zero Limits is out and boy is it pushing people’s buttons.
At Zero became a bestseller the first week of January and is now in the hands of lots of people.
Just like with the first book, At Zero is triggering anger in some people and awakening in others.
Where's the book?
But as I explain in the new book, what you experience is due to your own belief filters, not to the book itself.
For example —
One person says, “There’s nothing new in the book and it’s not real ho’oponopono at all.”
Yet another person reads the very same book (!) and declares, “Great new insights, advanced clearing methods, and a revelation about authentic ho’oponopono. Loved it!”
Here’s another —
One person says, “He just sells in this book.”
Yet another person reads the exact same book (!) and says, “He doesn’t sell at all in this one.”
And another —
“Joe tells stories of his struggles but doesn’t show how the practice of ho’oponopono helped him get out of them.”
Yet another person reading the very same book (!) says, “Joe shares incredible stories of his own tough times and reveals how his practice caused the problems to disappear like miracles.”
Another says —
“Joe puts down Dr. Hew Len”
Yet another person reads the exact same book (!) and says, “Joe compares Dr. Hew Len to Jesus.”
Gee, which is true?
Again, it’s not the book, but the person reading it.
You bring your own mindset to the pages.
Just like in real life. 🙂
I could show you all the expert praise for At Zero, such as —
“Joe’s new book was just as I knew it would be – FABULOUS!
The riveting stories and enlightening insights lifted my
spirits and filled my soul with love. This is indeed a path
to miracles!”
– Janet Bray Attwood, co/author NY Times bestseller,
The Passion Test
And —
“This book ought to be a movie. A masterpiece of story
telling and a revelation on how the Hawaiian healing
system of Ho’oponopono really works.”
~ Barnet Bain, movie producer, “What Dreams May Come”
and “The Celestine Prophecy”
And —
“In ‘At Zero’, Dr. Joe Vitale shares the catalyst of his
own awakening. He is vulnerable, insightful and shares
authentic Ho’oponopono secrets that are empowering and
inspiring. If you want to get to the state of zero, where
there are no limiting beliefs, I highly suggest you read
this book.”
– Dr. Steve G. Jones, Clinical Hypnotherapist
And –
“With ‘Zero Limits’, Joe Vitale introduced the world to
the incredible healing system of Ho’oponopono. Now he’s
taking it all to the next level, going deeper and revealing
the real essence and magic behind these ancient secrets.
A must read!”
– Nick Ortner, NY Times Best-Selling Author of
The Tapping Solution
— but As E.M. Forster once wrote –
“A book is a mirror; if an ass peers into it, you can’t expect an apostle to peer out.”
I think E.M. Forster was a tad harsh, but his quote points to a truth that is in the very book people are reading:
You see what you are.
In At Zero, I explain that the book isn’t even real.
It is in fact a projection created from your mental programs.
What you see in the book is in you, not in the book.
This insight is at the very heart of ho’oponopono and my new book.
It’s the fact that you (and I) have programs (beliefs), and those programs need cleaned up in order to see any mutually agreed upon reality.
The best thing to do is find out for yourself why At Zero is so powerful.
If you want to see what all the fuss is about, and if you dare to face your own beliefs, then go see –
Get the book today and get a lot of freebies.

Ao Akua,
PS — Yes, At Zero is available as a hardcover, Kindle ebook, and/or audio book, as well. All are being offered via Amazon. Go see – http://www.atzerobook.com

How Deep Can You Go?
“I love your book.”
“Which one?” I asked.
I was talking to my lawn care guy.
“The new one, the one called At Zero, the one where you explained the history and inner secrets of that Hawaiian thing I can’t pronounce.”
Get book today and get gifts!
“You mean ho’oponopono?” I asked.
“Yea. That one. I loved your book Zero Limits but this new one blew the lid off my mind.”
“What did you like about the new book?”
“You really showed me how deep you go in using the method,” he explained. “I was amazed to read about your own dark night of the soul and how you went so deep to unravel how you attracted it and how you got out of it.”
“Thank you.”
New book out today!
“Most people think they are working on themselves when they aren’t; not really. Your stories reveal how to dig into the heart of change.”
“I appreciate that.”
“Plus I didn’t know I was doing ho’opo wrong,” he confessed. “Your book really opened my eyes.”
“Yea, a lot of people don’t get how the method actually works to bring on miracles.”
“I also didn’t know that that ho’opono-thing came from such dark beginnings.”
“Most people don’t,” I said.
“The final secret that you reveal took me a while to get,” he said. “I almost missed it until I realized you spelled it out in this new book and my mind wasn’t letting me see it.”
“Our minds are tricksters,” I said.
“Well, I loved this new book At Zero and sure hope you sell a lot of them as it can really help people.”
“Thank you again.”
“Well, I better finish your lawn.”

The Secret of 2014
The secret to making 2014 better than any previous year is easy: do something different.
Don’t do just anything different, of course.
Be smart about your conscious change.
Here are three steps to help you make 2014 awesome:
With singer Sarah Marie on my 60th birthday
1. Declare a Specific New Intention.
Intentions engage your body-mind-spirit and also alert the Universe to your desire. State a new intention, or a revised old one; one that inspires and delights you, but one that is also doable in baby steps. In other words, “I intend to earn a million dollars in 2014” might be too big a jump. It might engage limiting beliefs. But a goal such as, “I intend to attract 5% more income each month” may be more believable and doable to you. The idea is for the intention to be within reach while still a stretch; something you can get to with daily steps. I also think your intention should be inspired, meaning it feels like a directive from the Divine and not an indulgence of your ego. Again, your past intentions/goals/resolutions may have been too big, or not connected to your core passion. Reassess and restate. Today’s the day.
Don't ask. The flying dolphin has to mean something.
2. Take Daily Baby Step Actions.
The Law of Attraction requires action. Do daily steps toward the intention. Often people set such big goals that they don’t know where to start, so they get overwhelmed and don’t do anything. It’s far wiser to break down the intent into little things you can do every day. You may not be able to make 100 cold calls all at once, but you can make 2 or 3 a day. You may not be able to release excess weight in one week, but you can do something daily to move in that direction, such as walking, drinking more water, etc. You may not be able to write a book in a day or a week, but you can write a little every day, and in time you will see a book. The point is by doing something every day, you will move to your goal. This is a simple thing you can implement today. I mean, right now.
With my love, Nerissa
3. Get Support.
Get allies. You’ll have far greater success in 2014 if you surround yourself with people who believe in you, and cut ties with the critics and naysayers who don’t. Having your own Miracles Coach is the number one thing you can do to make the new year a true stand-out for you. The right coach can keep you accountable, motivated, inspired and informed. One of the reasons for my successes in so many areas, including most recently in music, is having a support team. I always have a coach to help me “get clear” of any limiting beliefs within myself. The more I clear out the internal blocks, the faster I tend to achieve and attract my goals. This is the secret to greatness: get a coach.
Obviously, there are lots of things we could talk about to help make 2014 a record breaker for you, but the above three steps are the keys to change.
Sooooo….
Celebrating my 60th as king
Let’s review —
1. Declare a specific new goal. What’s yours? Think believable but BIG.
2. Take daily actions. What will you do each day? Baby steps lead to adult results.
3. Get support. Who will be your allies and coach? Enroll in Miracles Coaching.
