One of the most common mistakes we make when trying to manifest is believing that positive thinking is enough to attract what we want.
Positive thinking occurs only on the conscious level; this is why positive thinking is not enough to put into effect the Law of Attraction. It is necessary for belief to enter the subconscious as well.
The mind is always operating on two levels, the subconscious and the conscious. The conscious mind is being given hundreds of tidbits of information at any given time from all five senses. This is an incredible amount of information to process, even from such an advanced tool as the human brain. The mind would slowly go crazy if it had to deal with all of that information all of the time.
Instead, the mind developed the conscious mind, which serves as a filter to review the information sent to it by the senses and retain anything that it deems important. Anything that it does not deem important is passed along to the subconscious. It is the subconscious which will retain this information, acting as the guardian of repressed memories until such time as those memories are needed again.
It has long been held that the subconscious has a direct effect on the actions and beliefs of the conscious mind. It is sufficient to say that if the conscious mind is attempting to think positive thoughts while the subconscious retains a negative energy the two will cancel each other out, and the desired effect will not be achieved.
To quote again from Esther and Jerry Hicks' ebook, "Money, and the Law of Attraction", Abraham says:
"Attention to the lack of what is wanted causes it to increase and come closer to you, just as focusing upon what is wanted causes it to increase and come closer to you."
Either way, you get what you think you want!

Universal Law of Love
These days, people just focus on the Law of Attraction but forget (or aren't aware) of dozens of other Universal Laws. All Laws work synergistically, or together, but it's not necessary to memorize all of them. Learn which ones work together and try to follow what they say to do. See the link at the end.
The Universal Law of Love sets the stage for the Universal Law of Attraction. Both are "main" Laws (there are many sub Laws), but one cannot work without the other. Universal Love is the most balanced form of energy. Love is the balance of all. Love is stillness, peace of mind. The Universe is Love!
Universal Love can take many forms. Love can be considered acceptance of yourself, or of others. Love is unconditional. Love doesn't set terms. Love if freedom. Love is freedom for you to be who you truly are inside, not what you or anyone else thinks you should be. Love is never to impose anything on anyone.
This is the first thing that most people tend to forget. Or never think about. They just walk in line, do what they always do, think what they always think and therefore get what they've always been getting. They are never satisfied but they never change their way of thinking.
"You are the attractor of your experience. As you look for positive aspects and make an effort to find good feeling thoughts, you will hold yourself in a place of positive attraction and what you want will come faster."
Abraham, "Money, and the Law of Attraction"
I believe Abraham is talking about being in a state of Universal Love. Fearing what other people think and allowing them to dictate how you live your life gives away your personal power. So does telling others how to live. This is judgment and is not ours to perpetrate on others. These actions block your potential and thus your ability to attract the life of your dreams.
"By discovering Universal Laws, you discover the source of all health, all wealth, all happiness, joy, profound peace, assurance and fulfillment. The source that governs ALL that is, has been or ever will be."

Money and the Law of Attraction
If you haven't read Esther and Jerry Hicks' book called "Money and the Law of Attraction", allow me to show you what you have been missing! Here are a few quotes from their book.
"When you visualize for the joy of visualizing rather than with the intention of correcting some deficiency, your thoughts are more pure and therefore, more powerful. When you visualize to overcome something that it wrong, your thoughts are diluted with the lackful side of the equation."
"With a little bit of effort focused in the right direction, you will achieve remarkable results, and in time, you will remember that you can be or do or have anything that you focus upon and achieve vibrational alignment with."
"From your place of lack, you cannot attract its opposite. And so, it really is a matter of adjusting your thinking so that your thinking harmonizes with that which feels good within you".
"The subject of money is really two subjects: 1) money, plenty of money, the feeling of freedom and ease that plenty of money can provide; and 2) absence of money, not nearly enough money, the feeling of fear and disappointment at the thought of absence of money induces".
These are just a few selections from this remarkable book. It's excellent and believe me, I've read dozens of books about manifesting what you want. It's not in ebook form but is available on my website at www.goldmagick.com/ebooks.html (yes, there is an affiliate link to Amazon).
If you are struggling with making the Law of Attraction work for you, I cannot recommend this book more highly. It's clear and easy to understand. Most important of all, it tells you what you need to do to bring more abundance into your life. I'm hoping you will forgive this blatant sales pitch but I would be remiss if I didn't talk about this book in my efforts to help others improve their lives. Thanks for reading.

Universal Laws and Principles
How many times have you heard someone say, "Law of Attraction? What a crock. Didn't work for me". Maybe you have even said it yourself. Ours is not a patient society. We want what we want when we want it and hurry up about it! However, the Universal Laws just don't work that way.
According to the booklet, "The Cosmic Laws" of Cosmic Awareness, and interpreted by Paul Shockley, here is the definition of Universal Law:
"The Universal Law is that knowledge, that awareness, that all living things, that all life has within it that vitality, that strength, to gather from itself all things necessary for its growth and fruition".
I don't know about you but that one took a minute or two to understand. In today's language, it might be read as:
"Universal Law is knowledge and awareness, that all life and living things have the ability to get whatever is for their higher good".
This is basically what the first definition means. There are dozens of Universal Laws but I only want to focus on a few that relate to the Magick Medallion right now.
First, the Law of Reciprocity (Tenfold Return). This Universal Principles is defined this way:
"Wherein gifts freely given for Spiritual Use return to the grantor good fortune equal to or greater than 10 times the loss".
Again, language! In other words, What you give without thought of any kind of reward (Spiritual Use) will bring good fortune at least 10 times what you gave.
So, if you give a monetary gift of say, $10, this Law says you should receive back 10 times that, or $100, right? Well, not quite. You might receive a gift of some kind worth $100 or more. You could receive just about anything of a higher value than your gift. If your gift is your time, you might receive a worthwhile bonus of some kind. The point is that reciprocity is not necessarily monetary!
In terms of the Magick Medallion, the price you pay for it of $7.97 should return 10 times (or more!) the value of it. Provided you use it correctly and with the right attitude!
That brings me to the Law of Magic. This Law creates change. "Physical change comes about through the change of consciousness, which changes in response to anticipation. This results from imagery and preparation, fears and desires, based on fallacies or facts. Preparation for change changes consciousness which results in physical change." Whew!
In other words (mine), whatever you can imagine that you want prepares you to change your consciousness, which then changes the physical world around you through manifestation. The Magick Medallion (or any amulet or talisman) is the "preparation" part. Focusing on what you want, without putting your will on the results, and using the medallion creates a very powerful energy for bringing what you desire. Magick!
Here are some Universal Principles I particularly like:
Discern but judge and condemn not
Be humble
Never do anything contrary to the Law of Love
Do nothing contrary to the Law of Mercy
It can be said that nothing you desire, no matter how hard you try or want it, can come to you unless you are in balance with the Law of Love. Universal Love does not judge, is humble, is merciful and is grateful. All you need is Love!

The Magic Power of Amulets
Throughout history people have carried amulets to bring them good luck and to guard them against evil. Do amulets really work, or are they simply superstition?
Can an amulet work for you? The answer depends on you. Are you willing to welcome good fortune and accept significant improvement in your life? Are you willing to take some kind of positive and observable action to improve your life? If you just want to think about it, then an amulet may not be for you.
There are two elements to the magic of amulets: the willingness to accept the benefits that come to you and the ability to take the necessary action to bring those benefits to you. While an amulet can help focus the power of your positive thinking, it can't do the work for you! You must be willing and able to be open to opportunities that come your way and take appropriate action.
There will be benefits, you can be sure, and they most likely will take you beyond your ideas of what your life can be like. Being open to change will make it possible for you to enter a new and higher level of being. As you use your amulet and learn to accept what comes to you, the perceived limitations you have of what you can attract will fall away more and more easily.
Amulets, talismans and medallions come in various shapes, sizes and designs. What matters most is that one is used properly, with patience and gratitude. More to come about this.
Start with the Gold Magick Medallion. It fits in the palm of your hand and can be used anywhere, anytime. Still at a low price but shipping for international orders will go up in September.

James Dean's Lucky Watch
James Dean's lucky pocket watch was his most important personal possession. The back has a spiral pattern and the cover has his engraved initials. This lucky watch worked for him and he became a movie star. Talismans come in many forms!
When Dean first starred in East of Eden, he insisted on wearing his lucky pocket watch. He had bought it in late 1951 when he was a struggling young actor in New York. It was his first big purchase and he was proud of it. He had his initials engraved on the gold cover and carried it in his pocket for luck wherever he worked, whether it was on TV or in plays.
Around two and a half years later, Dean was spotted and went to Hollywood to meet John Steinbeck, author of East of Eden. When Dean arrived in Los Angeles, he visited his father, which was their first communication in a long time. His father was afraid Dean would lose his lucky watch, so he gave him his own gold watch chain. Even though director Elia Kazan protested, Dean wore the watch, hanging from a belt loop, throughout the filming of East of Eden.
Dean attributed his success to the watch, and it was also a link to his father. Kazan finally relented and allowed him to wear the watch, but he insisted that Dean's engraved initials had to be covered up in close-ups. Dean's performance in East of Eden earned him his first of two posthumous Academy Award nominations and two Golden Globes.
Before his fatal car crash, he had gifted his lucky watch to a woman named Tillie Starrier, who had befriended him early in his movie career. Tillie, a Warner Brothers employee, was older than Dean and seems to have been a surrogate mother for the young 23 year old actor. She was the only person he would allow to prepare his hair for East of Eden and also Rebel Without A Cause. Her letters describe their closeness and tell about how she visited with him the day he crashed his car. Our long-lost Jimmy Dean gave away his talisman and came to a tragic end.
The story of James Dean is a sad one. A talented young man brought down in the prime of his life and career (Heath Ledger is this generation's). I remember him as brooding, almost petulant and definitely a rebel in his own right. I didn't approve of his lifestyle but I still had his picture on my wall when I was a teen in the 50's. That brooding mystery appealed to young girls like me, much to parents horror everywhere!
Can a lucky charm work for you? Definitely yes, as long as you know how to use it!

Prosperity Blues: An Excerpt
Last year, in Spirit Side Magazine, an article was published dealing with the Law of Attraction. I know there has been a whole lot written about this and possibly, even a bit of over-kill but I'll risk writing yet another article about this subject. It's still timely.
Following is only a few parts of that article and at the end I'll tell you where to find it.
Prosperity Blues
The current economic climate gives us ample opportunity to put into practice our knowledge of the Laws of Attraction. Attraction does not suggest that money begets money. It means that by embodying unconditional love you naturally attract to you everything that contains love. According to the laws of spirit everything contains the matrix of unconditional love.
We tend to be more focused on our negative attributes, so when we have to think of the positive it can sometimes be a challenge. The Law of Attraction magnetizes energy within the heart. In addition, every cell on every level of your being contains unconditional love. The more you love yourself, the greater the energy you have to magnetize your wishes and dreams.
Fear is the biggest blockage to attracting what you most desire. You can understand the laws of attraction, but unless you dissolve the fear then what you will attract will only embody that fear. The following is designed to help you identify and move past your fear.
Read each of the following questions, one at a time closing your eyes in between to meditate on the answer. Alternatively, write the answer (I used this method so I could then focus on why I answered the way I did in order to unblock myself).
1) If what I want were in my life now, what would it change?
2) What do I need to adjust within myself in order for this wish to manifest?
3) What is preventing me from achieving my wish now?
4) What do I need to do to create, manifest and embrace my wish?
5) Is there anything else I need to know?
It is beneficial after receiving the answers to your questions to sit with the information for a day or two. When you do this you allow your inner wisdom to bubble to the surface of your conscious awareness. This is another aspect of the Law of Attraction.
Finally, be aware and in the moment, not in the past or future. If you think that something in the future is going to fulfill you, then by the law of energy your consciousness will keep it right there in the future for you. You must know there are no coincidences. You have attracted to you what your soul desires you to know, that you have the power within.
I, Sara, have paraphrased a lot from the article to make it more concise. The original as I found it is in Spirit Side Magazine, an online newsletter archived on www.bmse.net, the web site for Body, Mind & Spirit Expo. The author is Elizabeth Harper, color intuitive, healer, teacher and author and her site is www.sealedwithlove.com.
