Ok, so I was going over this like attracts like apparent dilemma. This is the way I see it.
When people talk about Universal Laws and the Law of Attraction as one of them, I think they are bundling together different things in an attempt to explain how we attract everything into our lives and for the most part, superficially thinking that it only applies to what a person consciously manifests.
To me, this is like saying a law only applies sometimes in nature
and then can be turned off like a switch.
I think a deeper understanding and explanation of this is that there is a Universal Law of Vibration which essentially states that ‘everything in our universe is made of energy and that everything vibrates’.
The like attract like principle really comes into play when two or more things are ‘tuned in’ at the same or similar frequency. These same or similar frequencies resonate with each other and as such, are attracted to each other at this quantum or energetic level.
Notice, this is at the quantum level of the energy field that is our universe. It is through resonance that the attraction principle is working at the quantum level of nature.
There is also this amazing gift we humans have, of a conscious mind and the free will to choose. This gift allows us, via the thoughts of our own mind, to actually manage our own vibration.
Which brings me again to this ‘like attracts like’ principle and the law of the mind which is called the Law of Attraction. This law of the mind states that ‘thoughts that are emotionalised, become magnetised and attract to themselves similar and like thoughts’.
That to me, is what comes to my mind whenever I hear the Law of Attraction phrase being used. It shows how we can get in prolonged emotional patterns with the stories our ego mind likes to run. This is just one law of the mind and on it’s own does not explain how we attract what we do into our lives.
The deeper understanding that I wish to convey today is that the energy of our thoughts is constantly impacting the quantum field of energy that is the whole universe! This is how I believe we attract everything into our life, this is how our thoughts become our reality. If we, with the energy of our thoughts, were not connected to this quantum field of energy, then this whole idea that we create our reality would have no basis in quantum physics.
In summing up:
When it comes to creating our reality, the basis of our understanding comes from what we know of the universal Law of Vibration and a law of the mind called the Law of Attraction. The Quantum Physics understandings brings an overall clearer picture as to their relationship through the quantum Law of Resonance. This is an altogether deeper picture of how the universe works and of how we can, and do constantly interact with it, on a quantum or energetic level, to create our reality.

Hi—can you refer me to a source that is scientific and that discusses
Thought has energy,Like attracts like?
LOA writers write about these principles but from where does their premises come?
passionately pursuing LOL

Hi Antonio,
To answer your last question I suspect so called “LOA writers” get their premises from observing the reality of their own life and seeing a correlation between their dominant thinking patterns and the results of their own life , both desireable and not so desireable.
As for sources that discuss ideas of the energy of thoughts etc. I think a great place to start would be to look through a book by Lynne McTaggart called “The Field”. “The Intention Expermiment” is a good follow up. Also Michael Talbot’s book “The Holographic Universe”
Hope this helps Antonio

Hello Antonio,
Welcome to the Flipside! I agree wholeheartedly with the advice give by Shaun, these are all good places to start.
There is an organisation where many of the leading thinkers and scientists studying this very thing can be found. Details of some of their research as well as video and audio files can be accessed.
Some of Dr Bruce Lipton’s work can be accessed via the site and I find him particularly interesting. Perhaps you will too.
You can take up a $1 trial offer and see if you resonate with their work. They are called the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and they can be found at http://www.ions.org

Glad to have met you
Take a look and have a good browse around, their montly magazine and their annual report make very thought provoking reading.
