Law of Perpetual Transmutation

Next in our series on the Universal Laws is the Law of Perpetual Transmutation. Don’t worry! It isn’t as difficult as it sounds.

Simply stated, the LPT provides that energy is constantly moving into and out of physical form and that our thoughts can affect this process. Transmutation merely means changing from one form into another.

As you know by now, all things are energy and the rate of vibration of this energy determines the forms it takes. Only within the past twenty years or so has this process been scientifically demonstrated but it is a concept understood by many people for more than 100 years. Like everything else, our thoughts are energy and this energy precedes materialization. I am sure that you learned in school that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It changes forms – transmutes.

Edison’s invention of the light bulb was preceded by his idea of a light bulb. Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich came after he had the idea to write a book. This does not mean that Edison or Hill just had an idea and suddenly a light bulb or book appeared. Edison’s numerous failures and determination not to give up are well documented. Both products required a lot of work (among other things) but began with an idea or thought.

It is generally accepted that the Universe is a creative force of unlimited power and infinite energy. In The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles referred to this force of energy as “formless substance” and “formless stuff.” Others prefer such designations as the Infinite, the Universe, the collective subconscious or God. By whatever name you prefer, there can be little argument that this creative force exists.

Our challenge is to determine how we can influence this creative force to materialize what we desire. In our discussion of the Law of Attraction, we noted that we attract to ourselves that which we think about – positively or negatively.

The same is true of the LPT. Our negative thoughts can create negative reality just as they can create positive reality. Have you observed that people who say “I never win anything” never win anything? A more familiar term for this process is Self-Fulfilling Prophesy. There is so much overlap in the Universal Laws that some contend that there is only one law – the Law of Attraction – and all others are components of it. It really is difficult to distinguish between the LOA, the LPT and the Law of Expectation, i.e., we get what we expect.

We don’t need to worry about whose list is more correct or what law if part of some other law. We just need to understand how to use the laws to our benefit.

Before working on creating positive results, we need to eliminate negative results. Watch your “self-talk.” Don’t make negative statements about your ability, luck, appearance or anything else. Try to remove all negatives even when trying to be positive. By that, I mean don’t make statements like “I am tired of being poor” or “I don’t want to stay in this lousy job.” Your subconscious, and through it the Universe, hears “I tired, poor” and “stay in lousy job” and does its best to comply. Always state what you want; not what you don’t want.

As long as our thoughts are going to create reality anyway, lets make it as good a reality as we can.

Law of Attraction

In last week’s blog, I discussed the Universal Laws of Spiritual Energy. Although there is no universal agreement as to what they are or even how many, I have decided to select some of the most commonly agreed upon and discuss them over the next several weeks.

Before I begin with the most well known law – the Law of Attraction – I want to reiterate the importance of this and the other universal laws. The basis of all existence, seen and unseen, human and material, biological and mineral is vibrational energy. If you can affect the vibrations, you can affect reality itself.

Being spiritual or vibrational beings, we can, knowingly or unknowingly, create what we want as well as what we don’t want by our very thoughts. Our brains are transmitters as well as receivers. To have better control over our own destiny, we have to learn the proper way to use the universal laws to our own advantage.

Like the law of gravity and other “scientific” laws, the laws of spiritual energy apply equally to all people, all places and for all time.

These laws have been written about and talked about for thousands of years. This is not some “new age” concept. The book of Proverbs says, “As a man thinketh, so he shall be” and the Buddha is quoted as saying, “What you have become is what you have thought.” There are other similar quotes from such notable people as Aristotle, Jesus and others but I will not take the space to quote them here.

During the “New Thought” era of the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries, there were many books written that were based specifically on what we now call the law of attraction. Probably the first use of the term was by William Walker Atkinson in 1906 with his book “Thought Vibration or The Law of Attraction in the Thought World.” Other familiar works are “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen and “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.

More recently, the movie “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne has made the LOA more popular.

OK, finally I get around to defining the Law of Attraction. I have read long, detailed definitions and short “bumper sticker” definitions but a good definition is: The Law of Attraction is the Universal Law which ensures that whatever energy is broadcast out into the universe is joined by (or attracted to) energies that are of an equal or harmonious frequency, resonance or vibration. More simply put – we attract to ourselves whatever we think about.

We both know that it really isn’t that simple but it does describe how it works. If it were that simple, every sixteen year old boy would be surrounded by beautiful, naked women. Truth is, for the LOA to work, you have to think in the “right” way.

Our connection with the universe (or God, if you prefer) is through our subconscious mind. Therefore, it is the “thoughts” of our subconscious, not our conscious mind, that puts the law of attraction into effect.

Many publications have been written on how to best influence your subconscious to broadcast the “right” thoughts. Two of my favorites are “How to Use the Law of Attraction to Succeed in Life” by Michael Lee and “How to Get Maximum Results From the Law of Attraction” by Alan Tutt. If you would like a free copy of either of these or any book mentioned in this blog, just let me know and I will send you a copy.

It is not the purpose of this article to go into too much detail about these laws but just to give you a general understanding of each. However, since the Law of Attraction is arguably the most powerful and serves as the basis of several of the other laws, there are some points that I think you should understand.

First, like other laws of nature, the LOA is completely free of judgment. It does not care if what you attract is “good” or “bad.” It does not care if you need or deserve what you receive.

Like the subconscious, it does not recognize a joke or a negative qualifier. For example, if you repeatedly say something like “I never get a break,” the LOA will do its best to make that a true statement. If you say, “I can’t pay my bills,” The LOA will act to bring you circumstances to assure the truth of that statement.

If you think about how much you dislike being sick, for example, all the LOA hears is that you are thinking about being sick so it brings about things that make you sick. If you make a statement using a negative qualifier such as, “I hate being broke,” The LOA hears “I … broke” and works to keep you that way.

Even though I use the phrase “make a statement,” I don’t really mean a single statement but more of a way of thinking.

There are some specific ways to ensure that the “correct” signals are being sent to the universe. Many of these are covered in the publications previously mentioned. Just remember a simple phrase such as “You bring about what you think about” or “Fake it until you make it.” Be thankful that you can pay the one bill and don’t obsess over the four that you can’t. I wish I could say to just forget the negative things, like unpaid bills, but we know that negative things have to be dealt with.

We do, however, have within our control the ability to find positive things in our lives that we would like to have more of. Deal with the negative when you have to but otherwise seek out love, beauty, abundance, good health and the other things you would like to attract into your life.
