Ley de la atracción
El Universo se rige por una gran ley que se manifiesta de múltiples maneras. Sabemos perfectamente que existe la ley de la gravedad, y sin embargo ignoramos otra: LA LEY DE LA ATRACCIÓN en el mundo de los pensamientos. Reconocemos la fuerza que atrae los cuerpos hacia la Tierra, que mantiene en su lugar a los planetas, pero no vemos la poderosa ley que atrae hacia nosotros las cosas que deseamos o tememos, la que crea o destruye nuestra vida.
Cuando pensamos, emitimos vibraciones de una sustancia etérea, igual de reales que las de la luz, la electricidad o el magnetismo. Que esas vibraciones no sean perceptibles a nuestros sentidos no demuestra que no existan. Un potente imán es capaz de atraer un gran trozo de metal; sin embargo, no podemos ver, saborear, oír ni sentir su fuerte atracción.
Del mismo modo, las vibraciones del pensamiento no se pueden ver, oler, oír ni tocar, si bien muchos de nosotros hemos detectado de forma inconfundible algunos de los pensamientos de los demás. La telepatía y otros fenómenos similares no son cosa de la imaginación.
Cuando nos damos cuenta de que el pensamiento es una manifestación de energía que posee una atracción parecida a la de un imán, comenzamos a entender muchas cosas. No hay estudio que merezca tanta dedicación como el aprender cómo funciona esta poderosa ley: LA LEY DE LA ATRACCIÓN

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 – November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is also known to have been the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont, Swami Panchadasi and Yogi Ramacharaka and others.
Due in part to Atkinson's intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite having obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications—and having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900.
William Walker Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1862, to William and Emma Atkinson. He began his working life as a grocer at 15 years old, probably helping his father. He married Margret Foster Black of Beverly, New Jersey, in October 1889, and they had two children. The first probably died young. The second later married and had two daughters.
Atkinson pursued a business career from 1882 onwards and in 1894 he was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of Pennsylvania. While he gained much material success in his profession as a lawyer, the stress and over-strain eventually took its toll, and during this time he experienced a complete physical and mental breakdown, and financial disaster. He looked for healing and in the late 1880s he found it with New Thought, later attributing the restoration of his health, mental vigor and material prosperity to the application of the principles of New Thought.
Some time after his healing, Atkinson began to write articles on the truths he felt he had discovered, which were then known as Mental Science. In 1889, an article by him entitled "A Mental Science Catechism," appeared in Charles Fillmore's new periodical, Modern Thought.
By the early 1890s Chicago had become a major centre for New Thought, mainly through the work of Emma Curtis Hopkins, and Atkinson decided to move there. Once in the city, he became an active promoter of the movement as an editor and author. He was responsible for publishing the magazines Suggestion (1900–1901), New Thought (1901–1905) and Advanced Thought (1906–1916).
In 1900 Atkinson worked as an associate editor of Suggestion, a New Thought Journal, and wrote his probable first book, Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life, being a series of lessons in personal magnetism, psychic influence, thought-force, concentration, will-power, and practical mental science.
He then met Sydney Flower, a well-known New Thought publisher and businessman, and teamed up with him. In December, 1901 he assumed editorship of Flower's popular New Thought magazine, a post which he held until 1905. During these years he built for himself an enduring place in the hearts of its readers. Article after article flowed from his pen. Meanwhile he also founded his own Psychic Club and the so-called "Atkinson School of Mental Science". Both were located in the same building as Flower's Psychic Research and New Thought Publishing Company.
Atkinson was a past president of the International New Thought Alliance.
Throughout his subsequent career, Atkinson wrote and published under his own name and many pseudonyms. It is not known whether he ever acknowledged authorship of these pseudonymous works, but all of the supposedly independent authors whose writings are now credited to Atkinson were linked to one another by virtue of the fact that their works were released by a series of publishing houses with shared addresses and they also wrote for a series of magazines with a shared roster of authors. Atkinson was the editor of a

Filosofía para la vida. A mí personalmente, las filosofías basadas en ser positivos me gustan y especialmente las basadas en la ley de la atracción. Para fans, yo soy uno

“Sé un hombre o una mujer, y no un animal rastrero. Y eso aplica tanto a tu actitud mental como a tu comportamiento externo. Detén esta actitud rastrera en tu mente. Tienes que visualizarte parándote bien derecho y mirando a la vida sin miedo, y gradualmente te convertirás en tu ideal”.
Un libro con enseñanzas básicas y sin entrar tanto a profundidad en el tema, sin duda una buena lectura para tomar notas mentales de que podemos cambiar en nuestro presente inmediato.

Un libro que te aporta algo, aunque algunas partes se me hicieron un poco pesadas de leer
