All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
The Buddha
Chapter 1: The Law of Attraction
The universe is governed by laws
Nothing happens by accident, nothing occurs as a result of luck or magic. We are familiar with some of the laws of the universe, but are almost totally ignorant of the others. We are learning a little more every day - our veil of ignorance is gradually being lifted.
We know all about the Law of Gravity, but most of us are totally unaware of another important law, the Law of Attraction in the Thought World. We are familiar with the law which draws and holds together the atoms which make up matter. We recognize the power of the law that attracts bodies to the earth, and that holds the circling worlds in their places, but we are ignorant of the mighty law that draws to us the things we desire or fear. This is the law that makes or mars our lives.
When we come to realize that our thoughts are a force, a manifestation of energy which has a magnet-like power of attraction, we begin to understand many things that have up until now made no apparent sense to us. There is no other study that will repay the student for his time and trouble as well as the study of the workings of this mighty law, the Law of Attraction in the Thought World.
What is Natural Law?
When something happens and we don’t understand the cause people sometimes attribute supernatural causes. But in reality, nothing is supernatural, if something seems supernatural it just means that we don’t understand the natural reason for it. Our universe is governed by laws, Everyone is familiar with the law of gravity. We all know that if we drop something gravity will cause it to fall toward the floor. Basically, the Natural Law that we are talking about here involves cause and effect, if we do this then that will happen. In this case we are simply saying that if we think in specific ways then specific things will happen.
This should not be confused with what is referred to as Natural Law in legal philosophy which is about ethics, and social behavior and the justification for man-made laws.
Our thoughts are vibrations
When we think we send out vibrations which are as real as the vibrations of light, heat, electricity, and magnetism. That these vibrations are not evident to our five senses is no proof that they do not exist. A powerful magnet will send out vibrations and exert a force sufficient to attract to itself a piece of steel weighing hundreds of pounds, but we can neither see, taste, smell, hear nor feel the mighty force.
Our thought vibrations, likewise, cannot be seen, tasted, smelled, heard nor felt in the ordinary way. Although it is true there are some people who are particularly sensitive to psychic impressions who have perceived powerful thought-waves, and very many of us can testify that at times we have distinctly felt the thought vibrations of others, both whilst in the presence of the sender and at a distance, most of the time the power of our thought waves goes unnoticed.
Light and heat are manifested by vibrations of a far lower intensity than those of thought, but the difference is solely in the rate of vibration.
As scientist Elisha Gray says in his book, The Miracles of Nature
:
There is much food for speculation in the thought that there exist sound-waves that no human ear can hear, and color-waves of light that no eye can see. The long, dark, soundless space between 40,000 and 400,000,000,000,000 vibrations per second, and the infinity of range beyond 700,000,000,000,000 vibrations per second, where light ceases, in the universe of motion, makes it possible to indulge in speculation.
M. M. Williams, in his work entitled Short Chapters in Science,
says:
There is no gradation between the most rapid undulations or tremblings that produce our sensation of sound, and the slowest of those which give rise to our sensations of gentlest warmth. There is a huge gap between them, wide enough to include another world of motion, all lying between our world of sound and our world of heat and light; and there is no good reason whatever for supposing that matter is incapable of such intermediate activity, or that such activity may not give rise to intermediate sensations, provided there are organs for taking up and sensing their movements.
I cite the above authorities merely to give you food for thought, not to attempt to demonstrate to you the fact that thought vibrations exist. That fact has now been fully established to the satisfaction of numerous researchers, and if you think about it you will realize that it coincides with your own experiences.
Thoughts are things
We often hear repeated the well-known Science of Mind statement, Thoughts are Things,
and we say these words over and over without consciously realizing just what the statement means. If we fully comprehended the truth of this statement and the natural
