<p>You probably heard of &ldquo;law of attraction&rdquo; when surfing the internet for self-help topic, reading books about self-improvement, or watching the movie &ldquo;The Secret&rdquo;.</p>
<p>The &ldquo;law of attraction&rdquo; states, That which is like unto itself, is drawn. In another word, you are attracting the experience by the thought that you are offering. You may create poor, illness, and stress to yourself if you are thinking about these negative thoughts all day long. However you can also attract money, health, love one, and happiness if you think about positive thoughts.</p>
<p><b>Does It Really Exist?</b><br />
The question is: Is the law of attraction real? Or it is just an idea that people make up in order to boost their confidence and get them through the obstacles that they are facing. Well, this article is created in order to answer this question.</p>
<p>Everyone believes in the law of gravity. Why? Well, there&rsquo;s an obvious proof. When you take a book and drop it from the tallest building in New York, it will fall down to the ground. There is no exception.</p>
<p>How&rsquo;s about the &ldquo;law of attraction&rdquo;? Some people argue that the &ldquo;law of attraction&rdquo; does not exist; because when they try to think about money, new car, new house, or whatever they desire, these amazing things never happen to them or they may experience the opposite to what they wish for.</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s look back to the example of dropping the book. To say the &ldquo;law of attraction&rdquo; does not exist that mean saying the law of gravity does not exist when the book is not landed in the specific spot that you wish it to land.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s another example. A parachuter jumps from the airplane; he intends to land at the red circle on the ground. However, instead of landing on that mark, he lands on the bushes 500 feet away from the red circle. You cannot say gravity doesn&rsquo;t exist because the parachuter land on bushes instead of the red circle. Gravity does exist; it just that he didn&rsquo;t utilize gravity correctly to do his landing on the red circle.</p>
<p>Similarly, the &ldquo;law of attraction&rdquo; does exist! However, most people don&rsquo;t use law of attraction correctly to attract the things that they want in life.</p>
<p><b>Why &ldquo;Law of Attraction&rdquo; Does Not Work For Me? </b><br />
Think about the time when you tried to attract to yourself a new car by forcing your mind to think about having new car and driving it. But instead of getting a new car, you got a ticket by driving so fast on the freeway. Then, you wish to have a new house. Again, you gave thoughts about getting a new house. After a few weeks, you got bills and debts from the current house.</p>
<p>These experiences repeat themselves over and over again. You wondered if the law of attraction exist, why can&rsquo;t you have the thing want to attract?</p>
<p>The answer is: Yes, the law of attraction does exist as explain above; the reason you can&rsquo;t get the thing you want because your mind is always in the state of conflict. When you deliver positive thoughts, these thoughts go in the conscious mind. And when they become strong, they will cause a change in subconscious mind. However, your subconscious is usually embedded with full of negative and conservative thoughts from parents and society (for example: you don&rsquo;t deserve it, you can&rsquo;t do it, money is bad,&hellip;). Again, these thoughts occur in your subconscious mind, your conscious mind is not aware of it.</p>
<p>When your conscious and subconscious minds agree, your wish and desire will be answered. There is no exception.</p>
<p><b>Just Feel It! </b><br />
So how do I get my subconscious mind to agree with my conscious mind, you may ask?</p>
<p>One way to do it is through feeling. Remember, your subconscious mind is functioned by feeling and emotion. When you wish for a new car, feel the joy of driving it. When you desire for a new house, feel happy, proud and secure that you are living in your dream house.</p>
<p>And so, simply by paying attention to the way you are feeling, you will know, at all times, the direction from which your powerful magnetic being is attracting the subject of whatever you are giving thought to.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By: <a href='http://www.article-content-king.com/pro/article_author47860.html' >Stirling Grey</a> <br /> Category: <a href='http://www.article-content-king.com/category166-Attraction.html' >Attraction</a> </p>
<p>Sometimes men think that women are mysterious because women often do not behave the way we expect. That in and of itself does not mean women are inherently &ldquo;mysterious.&rdquo; It simply means that most of us, most of the time, perceive the world from our own personal worldview.  We base our expectations of how other people will act on how we see the world.</p>
<p>We have all heard, seen, read and imagined things that give us a framework by which to understand the world and make sense of it. Our worldview includes all the unconscious ideas and understandings that come to us in ways in which we are probably not even aware. Traditions, customs, the culture you live within and social practices you adopt, morals you have learned and even the words you use carry embedded meaning most people scarcely even think about. Your mind is developed to remember, recognize and decipher a world of signs, signals and meanings.</p>
<p>Since our individual worldview is also framed by what we think we know, (and a lot of what we don&rsquo;t even realize we think we &ldquo;know&rdquo;) then that helps to explain why sometimes other people&rsquo;s behavior may seem incomprehensible and often mysterious. This is most often true in communicating with strangers. We think we are communicating one meaning and they may see and sense something quite different. Often the difference is subtle. Sometimes it is just enough to leave you confused. How often do you come away with the feeling of &ldquo;What just happened here?&rdquo;</p>
<p>So, if each person&rsquo;s worldview is slightly different then how do we manage to communicate so successfully most of the time? The answer is that despite individual understandings we share much more in common than most people realize. If you were dropped into a place where you did not speak the same language then chances are you would still understand a lot of non-verbal clues. You could probably tell if a women was interested in you being there and if the guy standing next to her was not happy to see you.</p>
<p>This applies to people as a whole and it seems to apply most strongly within genders. Men and women have adapted remarkably well, even across cultures and languages, to recognizing signals that are of particular importance both to men and to women. Men have developed a lot of communication signals in common with other men. Women have developed a lot in common with other women. Oddly, while men/men and women/women have a lot in common, men/women still remain a bit of a mystery to each other. Why is this?</p>
<p>Perhaps it is because women compete with other women for mates. Men compete with other men. It may not have been as important, over the course of thousands of years of development, for men to &ldquo;understand&rdquo; women as it was to recognize who would make them a good mating partner. The same principle has applied to women, generation after generation.  One could say that effectively, women have selected men to be the way they are, over and over. And again, the same has applied to men selecting women, over and over, to be just as they are.</p>
<p>So why the mystery between the sexes? One would think that over hundreds and even thousands of generations &ldquo;the mystery&rdquo; would have been sorted out by now.</p>
<p>So why do women sometimes seem mysterious to men? Here is my working hypothesis: &ldquo;Both genders have been under complex and competing pressures to adapt to the changing social and physical environment for a long time. The pressure for each gender to understand the other in the same way has just not been the predominant requirement for perpetuating the species. Recognition of other social traits has predominated for many generations; &ldquo;understanding&rdquo; in the contemporary sense has only developed more recently and is not as deeply embedded in people&rsquo;s hierarchy of needs.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Contemporary studies do not tend to support the popular myth that women think in terms of cooperation and men in terms of competitiveness. Men and women are not remarkably different in how they think or communicate. They seem, however, to be different in how they feel about the world around them.</p>
<p>If you were to ask most men about how they imagine themselves in the world around them, they would likely say that they want to anticipate and control a situation. They want to be able to &ldquo;sort it out&rdquo; and make sense of it. The whole idea comes from wanting to be able, at least as much as possible, to predict the outcome of a situation or interaction. Men would like to believe that when interacting with a woman she would tend to act a certain way because it makes sense. </p>
<p>Much of how people feel about the world around them is shaped by how they imagine they will feel or should feel under certain circumstances. The process of imagination may be fundamentally different between men and women. I think our &ldquo;gender based imaginations&rdquo; are different, and I think this is the basis of the perception that women seem mysterious to men.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By: <a href='http://www.article-content-king.com/pro/article_author47860.html' >Stirling Grey</a> <br /> Category: <a href='http://www.article-content-king.com/category166-Attraction.html' >Attraction</a> </p>
<p>When a man tries to imagine how a woman will think, act and feel based on his own understanding he will likely find himself confused.</p>
<p>Does this really mean that men do not understand women all that well? I would argue that men largely do understand women. In fact, modern day men probably are right up at the top, as compared to previous generations of men, when it comes to intuitively understanding women. However, there are different types of understanding and this illustrates both the problem and the solution to adapting.</p>
<p>Modern men do reasonably well at intuitively understanding what a woman needs, and when and how she wants attention. The communication between genders is highly evolved.  Some people might not agree with this. After all, there is the whole &ldquo;mystery&rdquo; thing that attracted your attention to this article in the first place. If you are reading this then you probably agree with the statement: &ldquo;I want to understand communicating with women better.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The inherent problem in making sense of women is when men attempt to apply how men look at the world to how women act and extrapolate what causes them to act that way. The problem, the mystery, occurs when men attempt to understand women using the worldview that allows them to understand men. They apply the wrong key to try to understand the code. Men see that women have a complex and highly developed way of making sense of the world but they have a hard time predicting women&rsquo;s behavior under a wide range of circumstances.There is a lot that we can understand by looking at behaviors of larger groups as a whole under similar circumstances over time.</p>
<p>
Does that mean that each individual woman does not know herself what triggers her own interest in an individual man? Well, in part, yes it does mean that. Women filter their experiences through imagined emotion in a way that is not necessarily intuitive to men. Each woman&rsquo;s emotional response is not predetermined, at least not in a way that she can reference and say, &ldquo;OK, that&rsquo;s what to expect.&rdquo; Their emotional response to a situation, in particular to a man, is not always going to coincide with how she thought she would react. Maybe it is mysterious, and then again maybe not entirely so.</p>
<p>Men and women imagine themselves in the world differently. This is not a bad thing, and in fact, it is a part of what helps to make life interesting. Think about it; if women always behaved the way you expected them to it would be pretty boring. The excitement of finding new insights about people you have just met or are getting to know better can be some of the most interesting parts in your life&rsquo;s journey. Like it or not you are going to have to accept that any particular woman may not act the way you predict.</p>
<p>That uncertainty can create uncomfortable feelings when dealing with women. The feeling that you want to meet someone new and interesting but you have doubts about how it will turn out can be very frustrating. For some men the uncertainty and doubt created by past failures becomes terrifying enough that they find the girl they thought they always wanted. If you are reading this then chances are you want to learn more about what causes confusion and how you can master you own outlook.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes men think that women are mysterious because women often do not behave the way we expect.

Men have developed a lot of communication signals in common with other men. Women have developed a lot in common with other women. Oddly, while men/men and women/women have a lot in common, men/women still remain a bit of a mystery to each other. Why is this?</p>
<p>Perhaps it is because women compete with other women for mates. Men compete with other men. It may not have been as important, over the course of thousands of years of development, for men to &ldquo;understand&rdquo; women as it was to recognize who would make them a good mating partner. The same principle has applied to women, generation after generation.  One could say that effectively, women have selected men to be the way they are, over and over. And again, the same has applied to men selecting women, over and over, to be just as they are.</p>
<p>So why the mystery between the sexes? One would think that over hundreds and even thousands of generations &ldquo;the mystery&rdquo; would have been sorted out by now.</p>
<p>So why do women sometimes seem mysterious to men? Here is my working hypothesis: &ldquo;Both genders have been under complex and competing pressures to adapt to the changing social and physical environment for a long time. The pressure for each gender to understand the other in the same way has just not been the predominant requirement for perpetuating the species. Recognition of other social traits has predominated for many generations; &ldquo;understanding&rdquo; in the contemporary sense has only developed more recently and is not as deeply embedded in people&rsquo;s hierarchy of needs.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Contemporary studies do not tend to support the popular myth that women think in terms of cooperation and men in terms of competitiveness. Men and women are not remarkably different in how they think or communicate. They seem, however, to be different in how they feel about the world around them.</p>
<p>If you were to ask most men about how they imagine themselves in the world around them, they would likely say that they want to anticipate and control a situation. They want to be able to &ldquo;sort it out&rdquo; and make sense of it. The whole idea comes from wanting to be able, at least as much as possible, to predict the outcome of a situation or interaction. Men would like to believe that when interacting with a woman she would tend to act a certain way because it makes sense. </p>
<p>Much of how people feel about the world around them is shaped by how they imagine they will feel or should feel under certain circumstances. The process of imagination may be fundamentally different between men and women. I think our &ldquo;gender based imaginations&rdquo; are different, and I think this is the basis of the perception that women seem mysterious to men.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes men think that women are mysterious because women often do not behave the way we expect. That in and of itself does not mean women are inherently &ldquo;mysterious.&rdquo; It simply means that most of us, most of the time, perceive the world from our own personal worldview.  We base our expectations of how other people will act on how we see the world.</p>
<p>We have all heard, seen, read and imagined things that give us a framework by which to understand the world and make sense of it. Our worldview includes all the unconscious ideas and understandings that come to us in ways in which we are probably not even aware. Traditions, customs, the culture you live within and social practices you adopt, morals you have learned and even the words you use carry embedded meaning most people scarcely even think about. Your mind is developed to remember, recognize and decipher a world of signs, signals and meanings.</p>
<p>Since our individual worldview is also framed by what we think we know, (and a lot of what we don&rsquo;t even realize we think we &ldquo;know&rdquo;) then that helps to explain why sometimes other people&rsquo;s behavior may seem incomprehensible and often mysterious. This is most often true in communicating with strangers. We think we are communicating one meaning and they may see and sense something quite different. Often the difference is subtle. Sometimes it is just enough to leave you confused. How often do you come away with the feeling of &ldquo;What just happened here?&rdquo;</p>
<p>So, if each person&rsquo;s worldview is slightly different then how do we manage to communicate so successfully most of the time? The answer is that despite individual understandings we share much more in common than most people realize. If you were dropped into a place where you did not speak the same language then chances are you would still understand a lot of non-verbal clues. You could probably tell if a women was interested in you being there and if the guy standing next to her was not happy to see you.</p>
<p>This applies to people as a whole and it seems to apply most strongly within genders. Men and women have adapted remarkably well, even across cultures and languages, to recognizing signals that are of particular importance both to men and to women. Men have developed a lot of communication signals in common with other men. Women have developed a lot in common with other women. Oddly, while men/men and women/women have a lot in common, men/women still remain a bit of a mystery to each other. Why is this?</p>
