History of the Law of AttractionIt’s not a new fad!

Its origins are possibly as old as recorded history

✤ 2000 BC in the Indus Valley the Tirthankars - led to Jainism and the thoughts that every soul is a dormant source of infinite energies

✤ Egyptian and pyramid texts from 2400 BC tell us “there are no limits to where the spirit can go.”

✤ Coptic and Gnostic texts from the Essenes and Nag Hammadi appear to support many of the ideas behind Law of Attraction

✤ The Gospel of Thomas in particular contains supportive quotes about it’s what you do on the inside that influences the outside world

✤“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The Mind is everything. What we think we become.” - Buddha

✤ “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” Buddha

The New Thought Movement 1904 -1910✦ Thomas Troward (1847 - 1916) - a teacher of Mental Science

✦ William Walker Atkinson (1862-1932) - “Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in a Thought World” (1906)

✦ James Allen (1864 - 1912) - “As a Man Thinketh”

✦ Wallace D Wattles (1860-1911) - “The Science of Getting Rich”

✦ Charles F Haanel (1866 - 1943) - “The Master Key System” (1912)

✦ Ernest Holmes - “Basic Ideas of Science of Mind” (1926)

✦ Napoleon Hill (1883 - 1970) - “Think and Grow Rich” (1937)

“There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which in its original state permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.”

“The Master Key is here given to the world as a means of tapping into the great cosmic intelligence and attracting that which corresponds to the ambitions and aspirations of each reader”

“A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that is we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets”

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let

the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already

know what you truly want to become. Everything else is

secondary."

Summary of LOA in history

✤ Mankind gradually shifted to being very left brain dominated - especially with the advent of the Scientific Method approximately 300 years

✤ The focus on it was re-established in the late 19th Century

✤ Much of what was thought and written was later supported by developments in Quantum Physics/Mechanics

✤ LOA has been relaunched in a monumental way by the movie “The Secret”
