How the Law of Attraction Really Works

2023-10-26 | 🔗

Listen to episode 843 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How the Law of Attraction Really Works. Adapted from the book Dynamic Thought by Henry Thomas Hamblin.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There has been a lot of nonsense written and spoken about the Law of Attraction. People have been taught that all they need to do is to adopt a certain mental attitude, think thoughts of success and abundance, and then sit and wait for the abundance of all good things to drop from the skies at their feet.

The folly of it is seen when we find that these teachers of "abundance" and "opulence" have to work for a living — by teaching the very thing which, if true, would save them from all the necessity of working.
