According to author James Allen, “You don’t get what you want, you get what you are.” You have rich resources lying dormant within you. The development of what lies inside will cause the manifestation of prosperity in your material world—the creation of healthy, giving relationships and successful endeavors in whatever you choose to do.

If it’s as simple as that, why aren’t more people wealthy and satisfied about the shape in which their lives are? Well, most people don’t take personal responsibility for their results. They believe the cause of their results lies outside themselves, due to conditions or circumstances they have no control over. Most people are ignorant of one very important law of life—the Law of Attraction: You attract everything that is in harmonious vibration with you.

To understand the Law of Attraction, let’s first understand its underlying counterpart, the Law Vibration, which states that everything vibrates. Everything ever created—from the smallest atomic particle to the largest skyscraper—is in a constant state of energetic motion. What looks solid is not. Even concrete, glass and steel are energy in constant motion. We live in an ocean of motion.

Your body, then, is energy in a high rate of vibration, which is fed by thoughts and directives from your brain. Your brain cannot think, but you think with your brain. For example, Albert Einstein’s brain is kept in a jar somewhere in New Jersey, but it is not doing anyone any good because Albert is not with it. The flowing, moving energy in his brain and what he chose to do with it changed the face of our planet and made Einstein’s brain famous.

Albert Einstein loved thinking and became excited about the thoughts that surfaced. Those who worked with him say that he was often “gleeful” with an idea. This is exactly why Albert Einstein changed our world instead of just thinking about changing it. Albert became emotionally involved with his ideas. He visualized their physical result, and those ideas became realities that changed our world’s perspective. You have the ability to change the world just as he did. Albert Einstein had nothing on any other human being. He simply knew how to move mental energy into theory and theory into form.

As you formulate certain thoughts, your brain cells vibrate and emit electromagnetic waves. When you concentrate on those thoughts, you increase the amplitude of the vibration in those cells. Those vibrational waves, in turn, become much more potent.

Because you are the source of those electric waves, you determine your free will with degrees of concentration. In other words, the thoughts you internalize or become emotionally involved with control your brain’s vibrational waves. As you become conscious of this vibration, you refer to it as how you’re “feeling.”

What does all this science mean? There is a connection between feelings and the results you receive in life. That vibration (or feeling) you’re in leads to action. And that action creates the very results you are experiencing. When you understand the Law of Attraction, you know you have the ability to cause changes in your vibrational field that, in turn, create the results you seek.

Take a few moments each day to monitor the whir going on in your mind and what you are thinking about. If you’re not feeling the way you want to feel, visualize what you want. Your vibration will instantly change. When your vibration changes, your results follow that upward flow.
