Subliminal Messages and the Law of Attraction – the “secret” solution to the equation.

The Law of Attraction is a popular New Age concept that is promoted by a number of groups and people, including Abraham-Hicks and “The Secret” (a 90-minute video – available on DVD or on-line – that explains the principle). It is based on the concept of “like attracts like”. However, just knowing the principle and consciously practicing it does not always produce results. Unconscious blocks can get in the way. Subliminal messaging can replace those blocks, making application of the Law of Attraction much more successful. ClydeSight Productions’ Abundance Genie DSPP program is one such program that does this very effectively. This article is not an endorsement of the Law of Attraction, but is designed to help explain to people who DO follow the philosophy a way of boosting their effectiveness with it.

The Basics of the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is nothing new, it has been around for centuries and is taught in a number of philosophies and religions, with emphasis on different techniques. From the biblical “As ye sow, so shall ye reap” and “Ask and it shall be given to you” to the law of Karma, the principle is the same. We get what we focus on. The Power of Positive Thinking works in a similar manner. For example, if you have a healthy attitude and think of yourself as a healthy person, generally, you will be healthy. If you think of yourself as successful (however you define that) so you will be successful.

Conversely, if you think negatively, you’ll get that too! If you fear disease, you will be prone to disease and if you fear success, you won’t get much success.

The Law of Attraction does have some limitations. What you are attracting needs to be within the realm of reason and the physical Universe. You can try to attract the ability to flap your arms and fly like a bird, but, well, it’s just not going to happen. The “request” is both unreasonable and physically impossible.

However, if you go into the depth of your desire, you may find that you don’t really want to flap your arms to fly, you want to feel what it is like to soar through the air, free as a bird. And that IS reasonable and possible. So you might find yourself getting opportunities to learn hang-gliding and parasailing, which will provide you with the satisfaction.

It was exactly this thinking that led to the invention of the airplane. Attempts to imitate bird flight all failed. But once people figured out a “workaround”, the goal, flight, became possible.

However, even if you DO discover the core of what you want, you still may not get it because you may block it. In the soar through the air example, you may have a fear of heights. That will take precedence over your desire to fly, so you will never “manifest” flight. Until, of course, you manifest a cure for the fear of heights, and then, the sky’s the limit!

The Law of Attraction and similar approaches focus on conscious affirmations to activate the “power.” It is a bit deeper than that because of the reality of the way humans think.

 

 

The Power of Unconscious Thought – The Missing Part of the Equation.

While many philosophies talk about affirmations and mantras, they are almost always dealing with consciously perceived and consciously worked principles. You can write an affirmation: “I am a creative person.” and stick in on your mirror so you see it and repeat it to yourself every day. Certainly, it wouldn’t hurt, and it could even help.

But it runs up against a potential roadblock – UNconscious beliefs, which can be based on any number of experiences.

Suppose you “feel” that you are not a creative person. And suppose you figure out that the reason you feel this way is because when you were in the sixth grade, you handed in an Art project in school and your teacher (being an idiot) yelled at you and said “You are NOT a creative person!” and worse, the entire class laughed at you and made fun of you. (Actually, you don’t even have to figure this part out! Read on and see how subliminal messaging can manage this problem AUTOMATICALLY! How easy is that?)

Such an experience hurts terribly, and you can bet you’ll NEVER forget it. The result? You’ll avoid the experience in future (you’re not stupid).

All the conscious affirming in the world will NEVER get past the unconscious block. That block is designed to protect you from future similar experiences. It’s there to help you, and it does it by stopping you from trying so there’s no chance of a repeat of the painful experience. Logically, it makes perfect sense. Practically, it’s not the best solution.

The unconscious mind has no concept of time. It never realizes that you are no longer in the sixth grade and you have a lot more tools for managing it if someone were to say “You are not a creative person.” All it knows is “That hurts, let’s avoid it.”

It is very important to acknowledge the role that unconscious beliefs and experiences play in the role of manifesting and the Law of Attraction.

In this example of creativity, while your conscious affirmations are busy saying “I can, I can, I can.” your unconscious mind, doing it’s job, is saying “I won’t, I won’t, I won’t.” This is called dissonance.

 

 

The Reverse is ALSO true!

Just as unconscious thinking can block us from achieving something, it can also spur us on to magnificent achievement. And it will do it regardless of conscious thinking. This accounts for many of the “mysterious” and wonderful “blessings” and happenings that people experience in their lives.

A true story illustrates this nicely.

C.H.U. (Clyde’s Human Unit) is the founder of the award winning ClydeSight2.0 – the Fun and Games Cat Site. It’s a very popular site and became the foundation of ClydeSight Productions.

In the beginning, things were going very well at ClydeSight. Then tragedy struck.

Clyde, the cat – who was the reason, inspiration and star of the site – developed kidney failure. This is a common aliment among cats, and vets and scientists cannot explain it, but every cat shelter on earth knows about it and how it kills many animals every year. It is also a painful, devastating disease, agonizing to experience and agonizing to witness.

In 1997, Clyde, the cat, died. CHU was devastated as were his fans. You can read about it here, it is a tragic story and a matter of historical record. (Note: have a box of tissues handy, it will break your heart).

After Clyde’s death, the man known as CHU was ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED that he would NEVER have another cat. He was NOT going to go through such a horrible experience again. He made no bones about it. Whenever asked, he’d get angry and demand “I will NEVER have another cat!”

By the Law of Attraction, he was affirming his intention to never have another cat. By the Law of Attraction, if conscious affirmations ruled the roost, he never would have gotten another cat.

Only, that’s not what happened.

About 8 months after the death of Clyde, CHU began to see a number of TV shows about domestic cats. This infuriated him and he’d switch channels. He even resorted to turning off the TV! He complained to his friends that these shows were on and he was NOT going to get another cat!

So, his intention was pretty clear.

Until one Monday morning when he was awakened by a voice in a dream which said “It’s time.” He knew exactly what that meant. His resistance melted and that very day he began looking for a new cat.

A week later he had two kittens, Gertrude and Eddie cats. He became a member of the Board of a local Animal rescue organization, the Melrose Humane Society. He became their Web master, made many new friends and met more cats than you can count (in one year alone, the Web site accounted for the adoption of 300 lost animals!) Melrose Humane has since dropped updating their Web site, but it still exists and people still call them.

Of course, Gert and Eddie are doing very well. Says CHU:

“I always wanted a lap cat. Clyde wasn’t one. But every night, Gertrude climbs in my lap and we watch TV together – she likes Star Trek re-runs. I always wanted a cat who would sleep with me on the bed. Every night I say “Bed Time!” and Gertrude, wherever she is, runs into the bedroom with a little “meow” and jumps on the bed, often with Eddie joining her. I fall asleep with her perched on my chest, lulling me to sleep with her purrs. I always wanted a cat who would talk. Gertrude holds entire conversations! I always wanted a cat who could open doors. Eddie cat opens every cupboard and pantry door he can find! Be careful what you wish for, you may get it!”

So how did the Law of Attraction “screw up” in this case? CHU was very clear about his conscious intention of NOT having another cat.

The secret is his unconscious desires and attractions. He loved cats, enjoyed them, had a passion for them. Every time he ever saw a cat, he wanted to go over and pat it, talk to it, stroke it. That’s unconscious attraction.

What made the Law of Attraction work in his case wasn’t his conscious thinking, it was his unconscious thinking. Unconsciously, he really did want another cat (and wound up with double that!). It took 8 months, probably because of CHU’s resistance, but like the tide, nothing could have stopped it. How does he feel about this?

He says: “Thank God! What a gift this has been! Dreams are wiser than men!”

 

Activating the Unconscious Mind: The Good News is Here – Subliminal Perception!

The good news is, we aren’t trapped in our experiences and unconscious beliefs.

We can never “re-write” them because they are history, but we can write a new “script” that always takes precedence over them. It’s the “workaround”. Just as in the case of flapping your arms will never get you airborne, the workaround is to find something that will. So too, the power of unconscious thought will find doors for you to open that will get you what you want, what you are using the Law of Attraction to achieve, once you get THAT part of your mind focused. It certainly helps to have the conscious working on the same goal, but the REAL power is in the unconscious.

Subliminal messaging, when done correctly, is the fastest and easiest way to accomplish this. It works by the numbers. It cannot fail.

Let’s go back to that creativity problem. Suppose you have an unconscious belief that you “aren’t creative.” We know that using conscious affirmations to counter this will only result in dissonance. Every time you consciously think of the affirmation, unconscious mind will respond with the experience from the past because it knows no time.

The solution is to by-pass the conscious mind so the affirming message gets into the Unconscious mind and becomes part of your belief system. And there’s only one way to do that, subliminally.

When the positive affirmation “I am a highly creative person” is received subliminally, the unconscious mind does not have the association to bring up. You “catch it by surprise.” By function, the unconscious mind MUST record this message and be able to retrieve it. So now you have TWO messages, “You are not creative.” (given by that idiot teacher) and “I am a highly creative person”, given subliminally.

Now, let the numbers go to work. By nature, the unconscious mind attaches higher significant to experiences that are repeated. If it didn’t, we’d all have to learn to walk every day, instead of pulling up the memory of how to walk. In the case of the “You are NOT creative” message, it has a HIGH significance because it was painful. Pain gets the most attention, even more than pleasure, in the mind. To overcome that, all we need are the numbers.

If you receive 100 Subliminal messages that say “I am a highly creative person”, the significance of the message is 100 times more than a single value. This makes it important to the unconscious mind. But your previous experience and pain may give your “I am NOT creative” message a significance of 1,000. So you have to repeat the subliminal experience over and over again until your unconscious mind does what it does naturally. It starts feeding back the subliminal message whenever a creative experience is called for. It does this because it makes no judgments, it just follows the numbers. Once the numbers are in favor of the positive affirmation from the subliminal program, THAT affirmation carries mental and psychological weight.

The original message never goes away, it just is no longer used.

So, the more you use a subliminal message program, the more your positive affirmations grow in significance, and the more your unconscious mind uses them. Thus, subliminal message programs, if properly engineered (and be careful of this, many products are not scientifically based and have NO effect) can work with the Law of Attraction and get you the results you desire.

And this results in three wonderful things: imagination, intuition and inspiration. These are the final pieces of the puzzle.

The Universe is a vast hall of opportunity. Doors are everywhere. All we have to do is open them and go on through. Inspiration helps us see the right doors for our needs and desires, imagination tells us how to get the doors open, and intuition tells us how to walk on through. It’s simple, it’s natural and it works.

All you need is that final part of the equation, the power of subliminal messaging to unleash the power of your unconscious mind.

ClydeSight Productions has a special Subliminal perception program for people who are using the Law of Attraction to get what they wish for. It’s called Abundance Genie DSPP. It targets the 14 wish areas that most people use to get their desires and it uses the same targeted broad spectrum affirmation approach of all the other DSPP programs. ClydeSight Productions’ Digital Subliminal Perception Programs (DSPP) use VISUAL subliminal perception to help people help themselves on a variety of topics, from becoming Smoke Free to living in Healthy Weight and even becoming Lucky Winners.
