That's where we disagree.

I don't like the use of the word "attract" because I don't believe that we "attract" anything to us.

The mind is powerful and if you know how to program it, it can give you anything WITHIN YOUR CONTROL but absolutely nothing outside of your control.

The mind will make us seek things that it is seeing at an unconsious level but it doesn't attract anything to us by some sort of similar universal vibration.

That's just silly IMO.

Yeah, that - LOL

Again, it has nothing to do with "the universe" or anything external from yourself.

All of that is totally out of our control.

If you want to "place an order" and you understand how to do that, then great. But understand that what you are doing with "the secret" methods is simply programming your subconsious mind and placing that order with the consious mind, not with the universe.

The subconsious is 100 times more powerful than the consious mind and it controls everything we do.

Now, if you want some real interesting (factual) learning, study how the brain works and learn about Alpha, Beta, and Theta brainwaves and how they work, what they control, and the differences in them.

Read up on the minds of Einstein and DaVinci and understand how they worked and how yours can work the same way by increasing the Theta brainwaves in yourself.

At extreme levels of Theta frequencies in the brain, the consious mind can be totally in alignment with the unconsious and total clairty of thought and understanding can be achieved.

It's a powerful place.

Get there if you can :-)
