Before the Law of Attraction

Before the Law of Attraction was big, there were two books that paved the way for people to focus on what they wanted and how to get it.
"Write It Down, Make It Happen" first came out in 2000, but it draws on such works as Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" and James Allen's "As A Man Thinketh". It is filled with different ways to write out want you desire and to focus on those desires. It shows that no one way is THE way. In fact, you are expected to mix them up and/or add your own way. The techniques in this book are a wonderful add-on to those who journal daily, or a way to start for those who do not. I, myself, journal sporadically, as shown by my blog posts. But, this book is propelling me to write more, and with more focus on those things I desire in life.
Next, "The Magic of Believing", which was first published in 1948, is a leader in helping people achieve all of their long- and short-term goals. I first read this book as a teenage, and it shaped my search for mind powers and enhancements. In direct and no-nonsense speaking, the author teaches you how to harness the unlimited power of the subconscious mind. He also teaches you the "law of suggestion" to step up your effectiveness in everything you do.
I strongly suggest you add these two books to your LOA arsenal and follow their advice to get what you want out of life.

Vision Board Experiment Two - Day Thirteen

I'm learning something new - papermaking. I'm going to make it green as only I can make it, and most if not all the steps it entails. I know there are all sorts of papermakers out there, some even doing recycled stuff. I just aim to make it a little bit different, and use the end product in new ways, too.

The Vision Board experiment is still going. Nothing new from this one or the first one.

Vision Board Experiment Two - Day Ten

I'm beginning to notice that some of the things I did in the first Vision Board are starting to coalesce. It's nice to have something work.

I'm already working up some ideas for the third VB experiment. I'll start that probably with the New Year, although there is nothing that says I have to finish one to start another. Or, better yet, I could just add to this one and let it keep running, even into the New Year. I think I'll do it that way.

Vision Board Experiment Two - Day Eight

I'm finding that by combining various aspects of other peoples ideas on manifesting that ~something~ is bound to work. For instance, in addition to the vision board, I'm also using the One Command, and the Bahga from Quantum Jumping. Further, Ive been affirming that I am worthy of success and I am allowing it into my life.
I've found the Bahga to be an excellent tool for immediate needs or desires, such as a parking place near the front door of the store I'm going to.

So, little things keep happening. The big things are coming. I'm sure of it.

Vision Board Experiment Two - Day Six

Okay, little things are starting to happen now.

For instance, I sold one of my books on Amazon - less than $10, but it's better than nothing.
My van went kaput Saturday - my sister-in-law paid for the tow and is paying for the repairs it desperately needs.
I've started waking up earlier and having more energy in the daytime - the kitchen doesn't look so daunting now.

These are all good things, and I'm allowing more of them as well as the *big* things into my life.

THY ________ IS NIGH!

End, Doom, whatever apocalyptic word suits your fancy. *sheesh*

A friend of ours listens to Glen Beck with the fervor of a religious acolyte. She called today to tell me to stock up on food staples as the "financial gurus" predict bread is going up to $30 a loaf. Gas is hovering around $3 a gallon again, and we're all supposed to be scared? Hello! Has anyone heard of the Great Depression? I, like my grandparents before me, am learning to make do with the things around me. Except my pop. That will have to go up mighty high before I give it up. (Probably do my body good if I gave it up sooner)

GW Bush came into office - we're still here. The stock market crashed - we're still here. Gas goes astronomical - we're still here (and still driving!) All hype and no help.

People have got to learn to stop listening to others - especially if the news is bad or depressing - and do for themselves and their neighbors.

Vision Board Experiment Two - Day Five

Progress! I've made a sale on Amazon, a small amount, but a sale nonetheless.

I have the Board running now, even as I work on this. I believe I know what the key factor in this board is, as opposed to the first board I did. I'll let you know once more has come to pass.

Vision Board Experiment Two - How Long?

I'm going to let this vision board experiment run until the first of the New Year, or until something manifests from it, whichever comes first. I'll keep you posted.

Vision Board Experiment Two - Day Four

Even though I haven't begun my "meditation" for the day, my fertile mind has been absolutely popping with ideas! The assembly-line *****-making is going well, with new ideas coming for the one sticking point I ran into. It's still not bug-proof yet, but it's getting there.

I also found ToolMonger - a tool review site that is very interesting. Even though it's full of things I'm not likely to own anytime soon, it gives me plenty of food for thought.

Vision Board Experiment Two - Day Three

I have no set limit on this experiment. I'm simply going to run it until it comes true.

Today was another day from Hades, added to all the other days. The van broke down and TJ and I walked for an hour and a half to get to MJ's. I haven't walked that far in years. I'll be feeling it tomorrow, that's for sure.

Vision Board Experiment Two - Day Two

I started a new Vision Board experiment yesterday, letting the subliminal picture program run about an hour. Today, I did it for another hour and added subliminal flash, which is short affirmation-like sentences flashed at 10ms. Aside from a slight headache (most likely sinuses), I'm off to a good start.

In other news, I'm no longer looking to start a business. Everything is reverted to hobby status and if I make any money from it, so much the better. SO, added to the hypnosis and mind expansion is cardboard artistry, found artistry, and paper models. Oh, and paper making, but I haven't started that yet. Truth be told, the only one out of the previous list that I ~have~ done is paper models. I'm going to try my hand at making steam-punk models, with no template or pre-made art.
First step for any of them is to create workspace, whether that entails re-arranging my current workspace or cleaning the dining room and creating new.
