Lets continue to look at this Law of Attraction understanding. It seems to me the common description I hear from most people is that this is a universal law stating like attracts like. But you only have to come up with a few examples of relationships with people where you see the seemingly opposite attracted to each other – so how would you explain the apparent dilemma with this law that is supposed to govern all ?
Magnetic poles that are alike actually repel each other as anyone can clearly see and the opposites attract in that example. So how does one that says the Law of Attraction is about like attracting like, explain this ?
Obviously there is more to this than meets the eyes, so to speak. Or, maybe there is more to this than is meeting the conscious understanding of anyone saying simplistically it is just “like attracts like”.
I firmly believe we create our experiences in our reality. However, my own understanding that we are the cause of everything that happens to us, is based in the thought dynamics of our mind creating our outer world.
The mind works in such a way that there are laws that govern these dynamics. Law of Attraction is just one such law of the mind. Notice I did not use the notion of universal law. That to me is an important distinction for what the phrase “Law of Attraction” means to me.
The like attracts like principle is at play within our mind.
In coming days I will state what this law of the mind is and address what I really think is a universal law. Hopefully that can remove any possible confusion to anyone reading this as to how all this comes together in forming the reality we each experience as our own world.

Good to hear you are sharing what you are also learning about creating the reality of our lives. I don’t really see this blog I co-create with Cate as a “law of attraction blog” so to speak, but I understand it is the catch phrase at the moment since the hit doco-movie “The Secret”
I see this blog more about sharing thoughts using the power of our minds to create life more in harmony with our deepest desires.
Law of Attraction is only one of six foundational laws I learnt about the powers of our mind we each have access to. I actually see the Law of Insertion and Law of Control are even more important to creating life consciously.
