| One client asked me, "What if all this visualisation and | | | | make a leap of faith. We look for evidence, find it |

| ridiculous." | | | | It is no different with the Law of Attraction. |
| I have thought about this question for a long time. | | | | Science has shown us (so far) that when you look at |
| Basically it always boils down to the nature of truth | | | | the basic component of mass that it is energy. Energy |
| and belief. | | | | has distinct properties such as vibration, frequencies, |
| How do we know anything is 'true'? Basically we feel | | | | and the attraction to other energy waves of the same |
| something is true after repeated evidence of such a | | | | vibration. All this underpins the personal development |
| thing. This is why it is easy for humans to believe any | | | | assertions: focus on what you desire, feel the |
| kind of truth. For example, many feel it is 'true' that | | | | emotions of experiencing it already, release any |
| Jesus is the son of God. They just 'know' it. Why do | | | | blocking energies of doubt, and take actions based on |
| they know it? they have read enough stories and | | | | your intuitive nudges to attract all that you desire. |
| listened to enough people who say so, that they come | | | | So, is the Law of Attraction for real? |
| to accept it as true. They internalise the idea as truth | | | | Truth is, I don't know. |
| and come to feel it in their bones. Focus on something | | | | It might be, it might not. |
| long enough and see and feel it repeated enough, then | | | | Consider the most important questions about any |
| you will come to know this as 'truth'. Can we prove it? | | | | belief, whether it be science, religion or the Law of |
| No, not really. This is where 'faith' takes over. Repetition | | | | Attraction: |
| and faith confirms the Truth. | | | | 1. Does it feel good? |
| Enter Science as the answer to faith: it is the gap | | | | 2. Is it of benefit to myself and others? |
| between proof and believing. Science was designed | | | | 3. Does it improve the quality of my life? |
| as definitive Truth, based on quantitative | | | | If your belief, your Truth, resonates positively to these |

| Science gave us the flat earth, and then it gave us the | | | | For me, the Law of Attraction does feel good, it is of |

| birds see better than us, and many animals sense | | | | to be real? For me, not one little bit. Substitute 'religion' |
