Do you know why one piece of steel becomes a powerful magnet while another piece is simply an ordinary lump of steel? In an ordinary lump of steel, the positive- and negative-charged atoms are going in a hodgepodge of directions. The magnetized steel, however, has had its atoms lined up so that all its positively charged atoms face one direction and all its negatively charged atoms face the opposite direction. This alignment of atoms is what transforms ordinary steel into an attracting magnet. Do you know how this alignment occurs? One way is to place ordinary steel in close proximity to a lodestone, one of Earth’s natural magnets. The lodestone’s strongly polarized atoms have a polarizing effect on nearby steel.
Most of us, like the ordinary lump of steel, are sending mixed messages to the Law of Attraction because we’re confused about whom we truly are and what’s important to us. We feel uncertain about our purpose in this life. We say one thing but believe another, don’t we?
For example, if I say that I want my clients to pay a deposit in advance for my services, yet I doubt that they will, then I am sending mixed messages and the Law of Attraction is receiving two conflicting signals. One signal says, “Send clients who will pay a deposit” while a second signal says, “I’m not capable (or worthy) of getting a deposit from my clients.”
How do we become aligned like a magnet?
If we want to become powerful magnets, attracting more of what we enjoy into our lives, then we’ll want to have clear, positive, good feelings about ourselves. We can discover who we are and what we truly love by noticing what feels good. Then we can begin to accept ourselves with our personal set of preferences and act in ways that honor our core values. Core values are deeply embedded values that give us guidance by producing good feelings when we honor them and negative feelings when we don’t. Honesty, kindness, loyalty, compassion, and goodness are all core values.
How does prayer figure into this process?
Prayer is a great tool to connect to the Universe. If you truly believe what you are praying or meditating and you are being specific when asking for assistance, then the Universe will reply, “Give that person more of what they are asking for”. Pray, but not from lack.

Hi Aldian, This is a great article. I love the way you describe the process of steel becoming a magnet and then use it to define human actions. Profound !

Hi, thanks for dropping by.
Using this simple analogy, it’s simple to understand it in our practical life

Great analogy, Aldian! It’s always good to have visuals when it comes to this stuff.
I think it was Esther Hicks (speaking as Abraham) who talked about the “yellow and blue make green” analogy, which also fits well with the mixed messages idea you present. It explains why sometimes we get what we want, and sometimes we don’t. It’s usually an average of what we are expecting.
I’m glad I found your blog, and look forward to reading more.

Hi Lyman,
Thanks for dropping by and posting your nice comment.
It’s amazing, ins’t it, Lyman?
We must always be clear with want we want (that’s where the visualization comes) and then have faith that we’ll achieve it.

This is a question instead of a comment, but can anyone tell me if you are able to attract a specific person into your life?
7 Aldian // Sep 7, 2007 at 9:35
Hi Chrissy,
Sure do. You can attract specific person into your life. That’s how I met my wife and that was even before I knew about Law of Attraction
As long as you know the criterias of your that specific person, you can attract him/her into your life.
In my business, I also attracted great business partners where we form a mastermind group where we discuss, solve problems and motivate each others.
In my household, I attracted great maid and helper, as well as driver and baby sitter.
Just focus on what you want and pray to God for His blessing, and then thank Him when your wish is granted. That’s how I personally do it.
Hope that helps.

I think that prayer is good to keep your mind focussed on what you really want. But one has to put in faith or else the words will not work. It will be merely wishful thinking.
Also, if one takes no action, nothing will happen. God only helps those who help themselves.

Amen with that Olivier.
I remember “Ora et labora” meaning to pray and to work
