Our serious passionate emotional desires, thoughts and words have a creative potential. The universal Consciousness, that is pervading this entire material universe, brings towards us persons, things, events and circumstances in our life consistent with our desires, thoughts and words. Since we attract them by means of our desires, thoughts and words, this phenomenon is popularly known as the Law of Attraction.

Law of Attraction is the infallible fundamental spiritual law based on which this material universe functions. This law is enforced on this material universe by the invisible universal Consciousness that pervades, sustains and controls this visible material universe.

Strictly speaking, universal Consciousness is not really invisible. Our brain and eyes are so dull and insensitive that we are not able to perceive It/Her/Him. An enlightened spiritual person always perceives It using his sensitized brain and eyes. He perceives It as a Field pervading this entire material universe.

Thus, when we see a tree with our dull eyes and brain, we just see a tree. That's what we are seeing right from birth. But if we see the same tree after enlightenment, then we'll see the whole tree as lively and vibrant one with its leaves and stalks standing out of their surrounding space distinctly and sharply. We'll see all persons and things of this world in a similar fashion. This whole world will become an extra full HD 3-D video.

This is due to the fact that our brain and eyes have now been trained to perceive this material universe along with the universal Consciousness pervading it. We haven't discovered anything new. Now only we are able to perceive this world as it is.

Until enlightenment we miss the spiritual universe pervading the material universe. We see only half the story. We see only the effect portion of phenomenon as our brain and eyes are not able to see the cause portion. Naturally we try to find the cause in the material universe itself, the only portion we are able to see. That's why we are not able to understand why Law of Attraction works.

As we desire, think and talk, we set the spiritual universe in motion that realigns the material universe in relation to us. For example, when we crave for health positively and when we think about health positively and when we talk about health positively, we set in motion the universal Consciousness pervading the material universe. Then we get opportunities for getting healthy food; we get opportunities for doing health exercises, and so on.

Similarly, when we crave for wealth positively and when we think about wealth positively and when we talk about wealth positively, we trigger the universal Consciousness into action. Then we get opportunities for doing business; we get opportunities for repaying our debts, and so on.

Again, when we crave for relationship positively and when we think about relationship positively and when we talk about relationship positively, we invoke the universal Consciousness to move the material universe for us. Then we get opportunities for repairing our strained relationship with spouse, friend, and colleague; we get opportunities for expressing and receiving love in relation to others, and so on.

Thus, when we think, talk and desire in a specified manner, the invisible universal Consciousness pervading this visible material universe is invoked to move the material universe in certain manner to bring things, persons, events and circumstances towards us to provide us with opportunities for the actual fulfillment of what we thought, talked and desired.

How does it happen? That is, how does universal Consciousness move a person towards us? Let me illustrate. Suppose you have learnt how to use Law of Attraction by reading a popular book on this subject. You badly want to apply the principles you have learnt to improve the relationship with your spouse. You try, try, and try to practice those principles for a couple of months. Nothing happens. You get frustrated. You don't know where exactly your mistake is. You just can't find it out. Assume that many, many people around the world are frustrated in a similar manner in applying these principles for various needs. Then the universal Consciousness chooses a suitable person to write a book on this subject. His heart is made to desire writing this book, his mind is made to think about writing this book, and his body is made to write it out and publish it out, too. And you have that book in your hands.

Our mind, body and heart are completely controlled by the universal Consciousness. We just do not know that. But an enlightened spiritual person knows it. When a person X strongly attracts another person Y using his body, mind and heart, universal Consciousness moves the body, mind and heart of Y to meet X at right time and at right place for the right purpose. However, Y thinks that he went to X on his own. But if Y is an enlightened spiritual person, he'll know he is being influenced by universal Consciousness on behalf of X.

All is fine, except that invoking universal Consciousness for a specific purpose is not always easy. Quite often, Law of Attraction apparently either fails or misfires. If you have read a couple of books on this subject, and tried a few techniques in practice, you'll know it yourself in experience.

We should understand that universal Consciousness is not our servant. We cannot dictate terms to It. On the other hand, we are Its servants. Only if we place our request after complying with a few Rules dictated by It, our request will be honored by It in the way we want it to be. Ignorance of Rules is not an excuse. We learn the Rules, obey the Rules and then place our request to get what we want.
