This is a real, in-depth probe into one dynamic in the law of attraction. Bear with me and you will hear a most unusual story of how this law works!
First, I am an international business executive turned author. I gave up my successful career to do something more meaningful. Within this transition lies my story.
My main reason for abandoning my career was very simple...ego! I have one and it can grow quite large at times. I studied Toole's work along with many others and realized that I was definitely ego-centric but with a very old, old soul fueling it. There was an obvious conflict there. After many decades of studying the world's belief systems and the science underneath them (law of attraction just one), I decided to write a book. That was four years ago.
Here is how the law of attraction came into play .
My material, the market timing, the yet unpublished point of view and the many reviewers of the pre-releases...all screamed of success. Indeed, the material will eventually resonate on Oprah's radar and be on her show. But that isn't the story here. Along this four year path I did everything right. My mind was in focus, I attracted the right people to get the book completed, epiphanies came almost daily...but I could never seem to get full traction. Hmmm!!
Well, here is why: The law of attraction working perfectly.
Underneath all this flurry of activity was a deep, passionate fear of the ole ego resurfacing due the impending success I could feel was coming. At the emotional level I was assuming the success would once again cause me to go back to who I was before -egocentric! My feelings were focused on something I didn't want . Oddly enough, my book is entitled "The Assumptions" and in this case, my assumption was causing my fear. Believe me, thoughts are powerful energies but feelings are where the law of attraction gets its primary fuel from...and I was feeding it with this fear. See the picture?
Just look at what I was attracting (one example of many): A week before I was to launch the book someone broke in my home and stole all my computers and a sophisticated backup system. They didn't take the IPOD, the HD flat screen monitor, my guitar or any very pawn-able items...they just took my computers. Ten years of research and archives gone! This sort of "show stopping" scenario has surfaced time and time again. I was indeed creating (attracting) circumstances to prevent my own success due to this fear of ego resurfacing...totally self defeating. I felt like a fraud. In the book I explain how beliefs work with all the modern science we know to finally prove it. At the same time I was using this knowledge to my own demise. Can you see the conflicting energies I was blasting out to the universe? These are the energies the law of attraction is reacting to...perfectly.
The love of my life, highly evolved and the most genuinely loving soul I know...nailed me one day on the phone and illuminated what was going on. At last I saw how it was me that owned the attracted events into my life. Once I gave up the fear everything changed and the law of attraction begin bringing me everything I needed.
To really put the law of attraction to work for you then you must first identify your fears and eliminate them. These strong emotional undercurrents are working too! In my case, it was akin to telling someone you loved them while you slap them across the face. Two energies in conflict...that is, my feeling of fear and my thoughts creating success.
So if you are having difficulty getting the law of attraction to work for you then now you have some insight as to what might be in your way. That would most likely be you...just like it was me. Fear nothing and watch your life change!

Ahhh yes fear is toxic. It is one of the greatest deterrents to self-confidence in our lives. And without self-confidence it is difficult to move forward. Excellent article.
Dan, thanks for the agreed position. When the human race starts to understand how things really work here ...energy, then the world will finally begin to change. -James T. Respond to this comment
