The Law of Attraction or LOA


LOA, short for Law of Attraction has been explained in many ways:

Law of attraction, abundance and prosperity, law of attraction book.

  • Like attracts like

  • Your thoughts shape your reality

  • What you focus on you attract




There are specific steps in practicing the law of attraction which Elizabeth Towne explains in How to Grow Success. Though it may sound like something magical and at times even mystical, it is how the universe works (in mysterious ways)...small children seem to embody it by default.

A

brief history helps explain how LOA came to be in this article.

LOA and How to Grow Success

The following LOA quotes were taken from the many writings by Mrs. Towne, which show that the concept is not new at all.

Every human gets just as much gold
out of the world as he puts into it.

All things are thought made.
Every human must think his own gold into being.


The money you attract is the exact
measure of value of the Ideas you
have succeeded in externalizing.

-Elizabeth Towne
How to Grow Success,
Chapter III



Who's Who of the LOA

The New York Times was the first major newspaper to use the phrase "Law of Attraction." Their April 6th, 1879 edition described the wagon trains of the Colorado gold rush as "moving in obedience to some occult law of attraction that overcomes all obstacles in their progress to their destination."

As early as 1902, references to something similar to the [LOA] can be seen particularly in discussion of matter formation.

Who where the dominant figures of this new way of thinking?

John Ambrose Fleming, Law of Attraction author, law of attraction book.

John Ambrose Fleming (1849-1945) an electrical engineer and turn of the century physicist described "every completed manifestation, of whatever kind and on whatever scale," as "an unquenchable energy of attraction" that causes objects to "steadily increase in power and definiteness of purpose, until the process of growth is completed and the matured form stands out as an accomplished fact."

Thomas Troward, New Thought Movement, Law of attraction book.

Thomas Troward, (1847-1916) who was a strong influence in the New Thought Movement, claimed that thought precedes physical form and that "the action of Mind plants that nucleus which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form."

William Walker Atkinson, law of attraction book writing.

In 1906, William Walker Atkinson (1862 - 1932) used the phrase in his New Thought Movement book, .



The following year, in 1907, Elizabeth Towne, the editor of The Nautilus Magazine, a Journal of New Thought, published Bruce MacLelland's book Prosperity Through Thought Force, in which he summarized the principle, stating: "You are what you think, not what you think you are."
