Law of Attraction - "See? I Knew It! This Stuff Doesn’t Work After All!"
By Sonia Miller | August 8, 2008
Have you ever had this experience?
You get really clear about a life dream or goal. You own it. You declare it to yourself and the Universe. Maybe you write it down. Maybe you make a commitment to go for it. Maybe you put it on your vision board. You start visualizing. You raise your vibration. You’re doing it!
Then suddenly EVERYTHING falls apart! Money stops flowing right. You clients’ checks start bouncing. Your car breaks down, then the hot water heater, then the tv. A status quo relationship suddenly blows up. You think to yourself, "I finally decide to go for my big dreams and THIS happens!?" What the (%$#^$)! Why did I even let myself want this? See! This Law of Attraction stuff doesn’t work. Not only that, but life has gotten worse!"
SCREEECH…. Hooooold your horses! BEFORE you give up on life, your dreams, and the Law of Attraction please read this.
This sort of thing happens ALL THE TIME. And it is a predictable part of the process of expansion. Carol Dore, Visualization Expert calls it Falling Apart, Falling Together in reference to the idea that often when you get clear about your intentions things fall apart before they fall into place. Thomas Pauley of www.RichDreams.com calls it Chemicalization and he writes about it in his book, I’m Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams. I am. I am. I am.
He uses the analogy of planting a garden of every beautiful plant you could imagine. The seeds are in the ground. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. And you anticipate an abundance of magnificent blossoms. (In other words, you’ve set all of your life’s intentions into motion using metaphysical tools and techniques and now you enthusiastically await their manifestation.) However, despite the current pleasant weather conditions, "sooner or later the rain sets in. The skies will darken as clouds cover the sun. Lightning and thunder will quiet the birds, and for a while it may seem as though the sky is falling… The truth is, you’re in for nothing more than a little wet weather."
The mistake many seekers make is that they misinterpret this often-common phenomenon as a sign that:
- None of this works!
- I’ve been led astray!
- I’ve failed!
- I’m doomed!
So, they quit before the miracle. They let their vibration sink. And they go back to their old consciousness, which only perpetuates more of what they were trying to change in the first place.
As Pauley explains it:
"We live in a world governed by natural laws. The foremost of which is cause and effect. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Growth is organic. Growth requires change… The process of change that must first occur before you can have the prosperity you desire is called Chemicalization. It is the stirring of the pot that makes the soup. It is an actual chemical change. Chemical change is necessary for creation. Water, for example, is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen. Separately, they are two gasses; together they make a liquid. All of Creation, including you and me, is made of chemicals. If you are not rich now and you want to be rich, then you must undergo a chemical change. By definition you want to be different than you are now. The things around you must also undergo a chemical change. This is as basic as life itself."
And how exactly do you navigate these times of change? You do whatever it takes! You go deeper in your faith. You look for and find evidence that you are still alive, still okay, still being cared for. You put one foot in front of the other. You keep studying and learning and reading and listening to anything that keeps you moving forward not backward. And TRUST that this too shall pass. Because the only thing that is constant in this Universe is change.
Don’t quite before the miracle. If you stay the course, you and your life will come out the other side bigger for it.
Choose Your Reality! tm

You are right on. My husband is a prime example. He always quits before he can see the results and then becomes the victim — “Bad things always happen to me.” And then he claims, “This stuff doesn’t work.”
With all our negative thoughts (conscious and unconscious) and all our dips into negativity, it’s hard to bring that manifestion into the world. We really do have to change on a deep, deep level to be able to consciously create what we want. And then we have to be able to stick to that postive thinking and visualizing — and taking inspired action (don’t forget that important step that many LOA practictioners fail to talk about) — for enough time without falling into a negative place for our manifestion to take physical form.
Determination. Stick to itness. Perseverence. We need all of these things, as well as a willingness to look within to see how we need to change ourselves and our thinking to help us bring forth our desires into the physical world.
Nice, nice blog!

Thanks for your comment, Nina.
You’re absolutely right about what it takes to really activate the creative power of consciousness in our lives.
One of my “broken record” comments with clients goes something like this:
Have a book, cd, or other learning tool that you are reading, listening to or exposing yourself to EVERY DAY. I don’t care if all you do is read one page a night in bed, or you get 15 minutes of listening time in your car. This is a process of changing and expanding the way you think. Left to our own devices we will and DO default to old thinking. It is only by consistently “inputting” NEW information into our minds that we will think and act in NEW ways.
