The Law Of Opposites And How It Fuels the Law Of Attraction

Do you ever feel like The Law of Attraction is just a bunch of – dare we say – BS?

If it ever seems like everything you want, you get less of, and everything you don’t care about quickly manifests, you’re not alone. In fact, it means that the Law of Attraction (which should really be called the “law of opposites”) is working perfectly for you!

What is the Law Of Opposites?

We’ve all heard the stories about the couple who want to start a family and can’t. After years of trying they stop, they let go and enjoy how truly great their lives are. Then WHAM… A couple of months later they’re pregnant.

Why is this?

Possibly because their internal dialog shifted from “we need children to be happy,” “family life is not worth living without children,” and “no children would make me so unhappy,” to “I love children, but I also love what we have now.”

The Law of Attraction still worked, but was attracting the vibration of “no children” instead of “children.” This is the Law of Opposites (or Law of Polarity) at its best.

Why do we attract the opposite of what we seemingly desire?

The Universe responds to the emotional intent behind your desires. In other words, if your emotions are negative every time you think of what you want, why would the Universe give it to you? 

The Universe provides you with what you love, or rather, the opposite of what is “negative” inside you.

For example, think about the person who is pursuing a corporate career. They fight hard for every promotion, make significant sacrifices, and do everything they can to get to the next level. 

At some point, they release the idea, realizing it’s not worth all the energy. They let go and take in just how beautiful things are already in their life.

All of a sudden, they start getting more promotions, quicker and more quickly than they have ever had before.

It’s the same as above. The Universe wasn’t supporting promotions and more work, as long as work was creating emotions of negativity and lack. But once the relationship to work became positive and full of gratitude, the Universe was glad to help.

What happens when you let go, is you shift your focus from “what’s not right in your life” to “what’s awesome in your life.” You still feel some things would be nice to have, but your key focus is on “what’s awesome in your life.”

How to Focus On the positive when things are bad

So how do you focus on the good in your life when your heart has just been broken? Or when you have nowhere to live, a mountain of debt or you’ve been trying for years to start a family with no success? 

Here’s the secret that makes letting go really easy and what turns the Law of Opposites into the Law of Attraction:

An absolute belief and complete trust that the Universe will deliver.

It’s like breathing, you don’t have to think about it, you don’t have to worry about it, you trust it will happen, and it does happen.

It’s precisely the same with consciously manifesting anything: don’t worry about it. You don’t even have to think about it–you just need to trust that it will happen and it does happen.

Getting that trust and belief in the Universe to deliver, begins with yourself; you are part of the Universe, and the Universe is part of you.

The ‘trick’ is in believing in yourself and trusting in the Universe to deliver. Because doubting either of these things will stop you dead in your tracks from consciously manifesting whatever you desire.

2 Powerful Steps To Go From “Knowing” To “Doing It”

Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different things. 

Knowing that you need to have this absolute belief in yourself, and, therefore, in the Universe to invoke a vibrational alignment is one thing. Feeling that is another whole different story.

You need to implement this concept into your reality if you’re going to make some real change and shift the Law of Polarity.

Step 1: Get Support

A significant first step is to make use of one of your greatest resources: your close friends.

Call one of your close friends and ask them if they would like to have a mutual “what’s awesome in your life” session. Write down all the things that are awesome in your friend’s life, and they do the same for you.

When you meet, tell your friend all the things you wrote down and why you think they are fantastic. Then your friend does the same for you. 

Remember: no judgment, don’t offer any helpful suggestions or ideas for improvements; this is just about only what’s awesome and why.

You’ll be amazed at all the beautiful things that you already have and take for granted. Some things which you see as negatives, when viewed through someone else’s eyes may be positives. 

Don’t forget – these awesome things are in your life because you attracted them. Not because of good luck, or any other external influence you can think of. It’s all you.

Welcome those feelings with open arms, don’t reject them; they are a gift, and it’s insulting not to accept such a beautiful gift.

You’ll also be cementing an even greater relationship with your close friend. That’s an excellent first step to changing what you believe about yourself.

Step 2: Bypass Your Conscious Mind

Another great step is to consider all the latest advances in mind technology these days, which are designed to turn your dreams into realities and results rapidly. 

Right now, it’s never been easier. It all begins by changing how you feel about yourself, and you can significantly speed up that process by taking advantage of the latest tools and techniques available to you.

Subliminal Messaging

In my personal and professional experience, the easiest of mind-expanding methods (especially when you’re starting), would have to be Subliminal Messaging

Subliminal messages are powerful affirmation directed at your subconscious mind and can be in video, picture, or audio form. You can create subliminal messages, use them on your own without any learning curve, and it only takes a few minutes of each day.

The affirmations behind subliminal messages by-pass your conscious mind and work directly with your unconscious (where all of your beliefs are stored.) This makes them incredibly effective in making rapid, positive change in the areas you most desire.

Putting the Law of Opposites to Work

Remember: real, conscious manifesting begins with your beliefs about yourself. That’s the place to start.

When you have faith in yourself, then there is a congruency between the universal energy and your energy, a vibrational alignment. And it’s this alignment that works to fulfill all your desires.

  • wait a minute, you mean because Law Of Attraction happened to spread in popularity right before economic crisis of 2008, you just assume that something opposite of this will work now on the recovery? cool! thanks! got it! where do i send the check?

  • It's nothing more than the old fashioned & more local statement " You reap what you sow" Just re-packaged by hard selling repetition & way to much seasoning. And its no big secret to the enlightened mind.

  • It only seems like the opposite. I call it the Law of Expectation. You do get what you mildly want, don't you? But when you REALLY want something you might get a fear of why you won't get it. The fear has the stronger emotion so you attract that - exactly what you don't want, but sadly what you expect. Hence the advice to be confident, let go of wanting it, etc. I use EFT or MTT techniques to tap on the fear. Then I rephrase my desire with, "It will be interesting to see how the universe brings me that." Then I am curiously and gratefully expectant.

  • I was cruising some of the older posts, and decided to make a comment here, even though I'm a bit late :-)

    It's important to realize/remember that the "Law of Attraction" is a law of the physical Universe and can only operate within the Illusion of Separation which is created by the subconscious Ego Mind. That's the function of the Ego Mind - to create the physical life experience.

    If you have any doubt about this, ask yourself if this statement is true: "In order to Attract something, I must first be separate from the thing I wish to Attract."

    In Truth, we are not separate from anything. Everything we experience is a part of the one Mind. The point I'm trying to make is that there is a level of creation that exists beyond/beneath/behind the level where we experience Law of Attraction. This creative level is where the action to create really takes place. That's why the Law is experienced in so many different ways by so many different people. That's the nature of it - it's a Law that applies only where there is polarity/duality and infinite variation. Therefore, no two people will experience the Law of Attraction in exactly the same way.

    I hope this inspires you to take a deeper look at the nature and levels of the Mind, physical reality, and the where/what/how of true creativity.

    Thanks for this fantastic resource. Keep up the great work, Vishen - especially the interviews with Gerald O'Donnell!

  • We as humans always try to do it the hard way. The truth is we have been programed through the growing up years with many negative things which have hardened us into believing that nothing could be that simple and yet it is. I see people saying you have to prepare, you have to know all this stuff or have all this stuff before the Law of Attraction works. In complete honesty I believe we do not need any of it. Once we have been presented with the Law of Attraction if we just simple used it exactly the way it is meant to it would work in our lives. Most of us cannot do that. We need to deprogram ourselves and Subliminal tapes are the very best way to do it because our minds will fight us the other way. Yes we can do it the other way but if we want to do it and not waste time getting to our goal we need to bypass that concious mind and set our sub-concious free to do and be all it can be.

  • Thank you for the information on your site, I have found it very useful and will use what you have written to improve my life, and I am sure you are effecting change in peoples lives everywhere, if anyone else knows of other related information I can search for please let me know

  • I have to agree with many of your observations Richard as to the fact that before new overt behaviors appear, overt changes must take place within the inner man. Also, we should, actually must, take a close look at who, what, and where we are with and in our lives.

    Further, I certainly agree with your comments regarding the individual and the universe. As for things going from the position of "opposites attract" to "similar or like personalities ,experiences, etc", the one thing I can't agree with is that once an individual realizes that no matter how hard they try, no matter which tactics they employ, plan of attack, or path they choose to take there are certainly things in this life, not neccessarily of a metaphysical nature, that we as humans can't nor ever will be able to change.

    Does it profit us to belittle ourselves with self deprecating attitudes, load ourselves with worry and anxiety, not to mention the agonizing depression that these thoughts and feelings bring about? Yes, our universe is immense and immeasurable by many people's standards, yet there are galaxies and many a universe that we've all been told dwarf our own. And, on the other hand we must remember that there exists no animal, organism, etc., at least to the best of our knowledge, that is as complex as the human spirit (breath of life) and soul (mind and emotion); not even our universe or the many observable galaxies and 'black holes'.

    It's incumbant upon each of us to realize that with all of the worry, anxiety and feelings of stress and tension we can't ad a single inch to our height, a day to our life, nor can we turn so much as one white hair to its' origional blak or brown color. I'm not saying that we have no control over our lives, as it has been proven far too many times to say that when one allows themseves the right to breathe, to relax regardless of the circumstances or situation, refuses to become anxiety or guilt ridden needlessly.

    Then, and seemingly only then, does the miraculous and unexpected begin to happen. A person's attitude, or 'altitude' as Earl Nightengail liked to say, has everything to do with the flow of their river in this life.

    I'm sure that you've already concluded that at the far end of the field I'm a believer in Intelligent Design, but to get up close and personal, I'm a Southern Baptist seminarian.

  • I am loving seeing so many minds looking to higher knowledge. I must say that any use of the law of attraction is at the base a belief in your soul. The only way to use the soul well is to understand how god wants us to use our souls of his purpose. Combining modern psychology with buddhism and the bible, any other religon or great thinkers idea, is the only way for a soul to move towards perfection. Love and light, in peace is right.
    Seek the laws of god, with the understanding of the power of the soul. Or you may cause yourself and others harm. Good luck to all.
