What other laws are there besides the "law of attraction"

Question

I've been hearing the audio (unabridged) version of the book "The Secret" which got lots of attention last year. I bought the book but I left behind at a bus stop, but luckily I was able to find a download on the intenet.

I have been applying this philosophy in my life for a few days and I am really feeling great and just a general refreshed perspective in life.

I remember I saw a clip in Youtube where Oprah was being interviewed and she commented that the "law of attraction" is only one of many laws.

What other laws was she refferring to?

Answer 1

This may not be on target but it could be important .

P.555 - §1 Law is life itself and not the rules of its conduct. Evil is a transgression of law, not a violation of the rules of conduct pertaining to life, which is the law. Falsehood is not a matter of narration technique but something premeditated as a perversion of truth. The creation of new pictures out of old facts, the restatement of parental life in the lives of offspring--these are the artistic triumphs of truth. The shadow of a hair's turning, premeditated for an untrue purpose, the slightest twisting or perversion of that which is principle--these constitute falseness. But the fetish of factualized truth, fossilized truth, the iron band of so-called unchanging truth, holds one blindly in a closed circle of cold fact. One can be technically right as to fact and everlastingly wrong in the truth.

Answer 2

One of the best books I've found on laws of the universe is Dan Millman's The Life you Were Born to Live.

Answer 3

if she was talking about a book than i assume she was referring to the other laws in the particular book that she was talking about....

Answer 4

The "law of opposition", namely when a south-pole magnet is brought close to a north-pole one.

i wouldnt stress this though;and its likely that this law-of-opposition or better still,repulsion,is not quite as common as the law you cite.

Answer 5

Sorry - I do not know about the other laws. However, I did want to comment here.  I read the Secret, and loved it. It was the beginning push that changed my whole life! I am completely positive now, and have a better attitude as I approach each day.  So, I completely think you will benefit from this.  ALSO - I wanted to recommend a few other books while you are trying to change your life and improve things.  

1. Be a Better You - By Joel Osteen - Very similar in idea of The Secret, only maybe using a few more religious terms / references.

2. Transformers - The Artists of Self-Creation - by Jacquelyn Small  - this is a book that teaches us the two worlds we live in the outside world, the ego vs. the inside world, our essence or our soul.  It shows how we mostly are ego based, and need to transform our lives into being more essence based.

I am a few chapters into it, but it is wonderful, and makes me think about my life and what it all means. I definitely recommend!

Thanks for reading!

Answer 6

When we want to manifest something we need to use the law of attraction and some other laws. There are lots of articles about the law of attraction, so I’ll write only a little about it, but I’ll tell you about a few other important laws, that maybe you haven’t heard about. These laws will help you to manifest and attract what you want, and to become successful.

“The Law of Attraction”

Simple definition of the law of attraction is that we get what we mostly think about. Our predominant state of mind in combination with our emotions draws things to us. You attract what you focus on.

"The Law of Polarity"

If hot exists it must also exists cold. There is always opposite. It’s like yin and yang in Chinese philosophy. How to apply this simple law in life? If you are in a difficult situation, there must be also something good in the situation. There is a future possibility that you might not see at the moment, but if you overcome the present adversity, the outcome of the current bad situation could be very good.

There are many examples in lives of successful people who in the most difficult circumstances found the solution that brought them success. Knowing and living by this law, we won’t despair and won’t give on our goals and dreams when we are faced with some problems, but we’ll look for opportunities in such situations. So next time you face some challenges remember this law. It will be easier to be successful remembering it.

“The Law of Rhythm”

The law says that everything is moving in perfect rhythm. Nothing you want is upstream, so there’s no need to always try to change everything. Sometimes when the things go wrong you need to let go bad feelings and wait for a change to better times. Things are never the same.

In the ancient Vedic scripture Bhagavad-Gita Krishna says to Arjuna “O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.” (Bhagavad-Gita As It Is 2.14)

“The Law of Cause and Effect”

The law of cause and effect is also known as the law of karma. It states that for every action there is a reaction. It means that good actions bring good results. Bad actions bring bad results. If you do something bad to someone, sooner or later you will suffer for this. If you do something good you will be rewarded for this. We can escape from governments’ laws but we can’t escape from the law of karma.

If you want to have good and happy life, do well to others. Help people and other living things. If you want to be wealthy help those in need. Never cause suffering to anybody.

“The Law of Relativity”

Everything is relative. If you compare yourself to people who are much wealthier than you you’ll feel unhappy and poor. If you compare yourself to people who are much poorer than you you’ll feel that you are financially successful.

Don’t compare yourself to others. Pursue your own dreams. Having more than others won’t bring you real happiness and having less is not a reason to be unhappy.

If you look at things as they are, you won’t feel unnecessarily depressed.

“The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy”

Everything is energy and the energy is always changing. You can observe that everything that is born, grows, exists for some time, becomes older and ultimately dies. But the energy still exists. It simply changes the form.

Even our bodies constantly change. Some scientists say that every seven years we have a completely new body. Nothing is the same. All cells have been replaced by the new ones. The only thing that is the same is you. You know that you are the same person. But your body has changed. It means that you are not your body. It also means that the real lasting happiness doesn’t come only from your temporary body.

There are other important laws like the law of gratitude and the law of energy and vibration, but that’s material for some other hubs.

Answer 7

I wouldn't waste my time trying to figure out.

Answer 8

There's a saying I heard when I first began my career in Sales that goes something like " Whatever the mind of  man can conceive and believe, he can achieve"

There are all kinds of "laws" but when you take a closer look you will find that it all comes down to one thing.... BELIEF!

The law of attraction works because you believe it. Would it still work if you didn't apply it? No. You make use of it and apply the philosophy of it because you believe it will work.  

In religion you will find that even Jesus often talked about this. (Faith) And taught his disciples that even with the smallest amount of faith (believing) they  could make a mountain move, Meaning that if you believe, you can overcome any obstacle.

But He was also talking about believing in Him.  And he also taught them that whatever we ask God (the Father) in His name believing that we have already received it....we will receive.. (and we can ask Him through prayer which is much more powerful than any "law".)

I don't know about you but that's the only "law" I need. Because God is eternal and all powerful and it is He who made all the laws.
