The Law of Attraction
Part I
Recently there has been a lot of buzz about the law of attraction and how we can have whatever we want as long as we believe it so. Rhonda Byrne wrote the book called The Secret and she was featured on the Oprah show. Yes, the Law of Attraction is making big waves and Montrealers are as much interested in the law of attraction as the rest of North America. The Law of attraction is taking Montreal and other parts of Canada and the USA by a storm.
In this article we will discuss how it applies to science, psychology, and our mental health.
The underlying premise behind the law of attraction is that we can attract positive energy from the universe and make anything that we want to materialize happen. The law of attraction states that we will bring into our lives what we attract by our own thoughts.
History about the law of attraction
The Law of attraction is considered a concept of New Thought teachings. Though its origins go back to the occult law of attraction, which was the first time the phrase ever appeared in an 1879 newspaper, the concept has evolved over the years.
The electrical engineer and physicist, John Ambrose Fleming described physical matter " as an unquenchable energy of attraction."
Thomas Troward who was a big influence on the new thought movement first wrote about the energy of thoughts manifesting in the physical world as early as 1904 - l910.
Think and Grow Rich, the famous book published in 1937, by Napoleon Hill is based on the Law of attraction.

There was a The Secret - Montreal Law of Attraction Meetup Group http://www.meetup.com/lawofattraction-123/ where Montrealers can get together and discuss their experiences and the teachings of Abraham-Hicks . However, it doesn't seem to be active since 2007. The website is still up and has a place where people can start up a new meetup event. In the past Montreal meetups have been held in such places as Concordia University.
