Unlocking the Secrets of the Law of Attraction: A Deep Dive
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding the Law of Attraction
Newton's law of gravitation asserts that every particle in the universe attracts another, with the force of attraction depending on the masses involved and the distance between them. This principle applies in the physical realm, but how do we apply this concept to the astral and mental realms?
To truly comprehend the mechanics of the Law of Attraction, it's essential to look beyond basic practices like positive affirmations or mere positive thinking. While these methods can be beneficial, they are not sufficient to fully capture the essence of this law or ensure its effective use. To harness the Law of Attraction — not merely to attract what we believe we want, but to invite what is genuinely beneficial — we must begin with a clear understanding of our true desires. What is deemed positive or valuable can differ significantly from person to person.
The significance of belief is frequently discussed concerning the Law of Attraction, but perhaps not in the expected manner. It's not about whether we believe in the Law of Attraction; instead, it's about acknowledging that, similar to gravity, it operates independently of our belief. The effects of gravity are immediately observable; for instance, dropping a hammer on your foot provides instant feedback. Conversely, one might go through life oblivious to the influence of the Law of Attraction on their experiences. This lack of awareness does not diminish the law's existence; it has been active since birth, shaping our lives positively or negatively.
The Core Principles Behind the Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction is often discussed in relation to Hermetic principles. It's crucial to differentiate between a principle and a law: a principle is universal and applicable in all contexts, serving as a foundational concept within a particular science or discipline. A law, however, describes the order of the physical universe and may sometimes appear to be "broken" depending on its origins.
The Law of Attraction arises from the integration of the Seven Hermetic Principles. These principles are metaphysical, each elucidating a unique aspect of the law, which can also be interpreted as a physical law. This might clarify why it is not explicitly mentioned in Hermetic texts; authors of The Kybalion refer to “the energy of attraction” only concerning the principle of Cause and Effect, stating, “There are many planes of causality, but nothing escapes the Law.”
Just as the Law of Gravitation governs the attraction between masses universally, the Law of Attraction similarly operates on a cosmic scale. Gravity serves as a tangible example of a physical force we can directly experience. From this, we can delve into the concept of “mental gravity,” as Hermetic teachings emphasize that the universe is essentially mental in nature.
Theories of Gravitation: A Broader Perspective
The Law of Gravitation, formulated by Isaac Newton in 1687, posits that two masses attract each other with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In simpler terms, larger masses exert stronger gravitational pulls, and proximity intensifies this attraction.
Gravity, which keeps us grounded on Earth, results from this law and is intrinsically linked to mass — the quantity of matter in an object. The gravitational attraction between two bodies is due to the gravitational fields produced by their masses, leading to a locally equivalent acceleration. Understanding gravity's physical nature allows us to draw parallels to the Law of Attraction, which can be perceived as a similar force acting on mental and spiritual levels.
By establishing these connections, we can enhance our understanding of how the Law of Attraction fits within a broader network of metaphysical and physical principles. This insight enables us to recognize that while the law's effects might not always be immediately visible, they are perpetually at play, influencing the events and circumstances in our lives.

Einstein’s Contributions to Our Understanding of Gravity
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, introduced in 1915, offers an expanded framework for understanding gravity, addressing aspects that Newton's Law left unexplained. According to Einstein, the gravitational attraction between masses does not stem from a direct force they exert on each other; rather, it results from the warping of space and time by these masses.
For instance, planets orbit the sun not due to a direct gravitational force but because they “fall” towards it within a curved space-time area shaped by the sun’s gravitational influence. Even light, which lacks mass, bends its trajectory when passing close to a massive object. Thus, it may seem as though an attractive force is acting, but in reality, objects move along the curved contours of the space-time fabric they distort. Furthermore, Einstein’s renowned equation, E=mc², illustrates the interchangeability of mass and energy, enriching our comprehension of gravity.
While both Newton's and Einstein's theories elucidate gravity's behavior, neither fully explains its fundamental nature or why it functions as it does.
The Interplay of Mass and Gravity
The most massive entities in the universe, such as black holes, exemplify the effects of intense gravitational fields. Black holes exert gravitational forces so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This phenomenon occurs because black holes warp space and time to such an extent that they create a gravitational singularity, a point at which all physical measurements become infinite.
The notion of holographic mass suggests that the entirety of the universe is contained within its smallest components, such as protons, and vice versa. This reflects the Hermetic principle of correspondence, indicating a flow of information among all black holes throughout the cosmos.
How does this connect to the Law of Attraction? By viewing mass from a different lens, we can recognize this law as a form of gravitation, sometimes referred to as the “universal law of mass attraction.”
Quantum Physics: The Relationship Between Mass and Vibration
In 1923, French physicist Louis de Broglie proposed a connection between two energy equations:
- Einstein’s formula (E = mc²) establishes a link between mass and energy.
- Planck’s formula (E = hν) relates frequency to energy.
Thus, it follows that mc² = hν, or m = hν/c² (where m is mass, c is the speed of light, h is Planck’s constant, and ν (nu) represents frequency). According to de Broglie, mass inherently possesses an associated vibration.
Joël Sternheimer, a former student of de Broglie, advanced this idea by interpreting particle masses as musical frequencies. He discovered that these frequencies are arranged in regular patterns akin to musical notes on a scale. In essence, masses exhibit a form of coherence.
This coherence exists across all scales, from the smallest particles to the largest cosmic structures, and is explained through “scale waves,” a concept introduced by Sternheimer that relies on vibrations — a vital tenet of Hermeticism.
The Interconnectedness of Mass, Matter, Energy, Information, Frequency, and Thought
From these viewpoints, concepts such as mass, matter, energy, information, and frequency are fundamentally intertwined. We can even extend this idea to encompass thought.
Mental Gravity and Its Implications
Hermetic teachings assert that “the All is Mind, and the Universe is Mental.” This implies that the ultimate reality of the universe is a mental construct of the All (or the Whole). The principle of correspondence allows us to comprehend that human beings create mental images similarly to how the Whole mentally manifests the universe.
From the absolute perspective of the All, only the All is real, rendering the universe an illusion. However, from our human standpoint, the universe seems real and substantial, and we must navigate its inherent laws. Although these laws originate in the mind, they govern our reality in a seemingly tangible manner, akin to the law of gravitation.
This leads to the inquiry: How does the universe transition from a mental state to a physical one? Likewise, how do our thoughts materialize into reality? To address these questions, we must first clarify our understanding of reality itself.
Reality, in this context, comprises both subjective and objective experiences. The principle of correspondence teaches us that our internal mental states directly relate to our external experiences. Thus, by aligning our thoughts, emotions, and intentions with our desired outcomes, we can influence the unfolding of events in our physical realm.
The Law of Attraction functions within this framework, where thoughts (mental vibrations) shape a corresponding physical reality. This aligns with the Hermetic understanding that everything in the universe, from the tiniest particle to the most massive cosmic structure, operates in harmony through vibration and frequency. In this way, the universe itself is an interconnected web, where all parts mirror the whole, illustrating the profound interrelatedness of all existence.
A composite material is formed by merging various components whose properties complement each other, resulting in a new material with enhanced characteristics that surpass those of the individual components. Similarly, the reality we perceive is constituted from numerous elements that may not always align.
We accept this constructed reality without recognizing the role gravity plays in its formation. Gravity acts as a unifying force, integrating elements like energy, light, time, space, and consciousness into a cohesive, creative image, akin to painting on canvas. From this point, the mind creates narratives based on the information it acquires, though these narratives can be misconstrued depending on the quality and quantity of that information.
Gravity maintains this composite reality until we are ready to release it. Awareness serves as the catalyst for this release.
The Role of Observation and Consciousness
Gravity is generated when consciousness activates energy. The gravitational field's dimension within space-time is shaped by the focus of consciousness on a specific composite of reality, directly tied to observation. Essentially, “What I do not observe does not exist in my reality. What I concentrate on occupies more space within the gravitational field of my consciousness, shaping my experience. The longer and more intensely I observe something, the more my reality crystallizes around it.”
Our observations generate thoughts and interpretations, often without our awareness that these thoughts carry a small degree of mass. As Einstein famously stated, “thoughts are things.” This implies that one thought attracts another similar thought, just as masses draw each other in. Our mental gravitational field encompasses a multitude of thoughts, beliefs, fears, and emotions, all tightly bound by this mental gravity, making it feel as though we are ensnared by them. This gravitational influence may also encompass impacts from past lives, all revolving around us.
The brain operates like a magnet with a potent gravitational force, and the consciousness flowing through it can vary in maturity. Nevertheless, even a less mature consciousness can generate a considerable gravitational field if numerous individuals support its viewpoint. If a large number of observers concur on a specific event, its gravitational impact intensifies, as does the weight given to their collective opinion, authenticity, and legitimacy.
The Induction Phenomenon
If we are unaware of the gender principle, we may unconsciously adopt thoughts and ideas sent to our “Me” by the “I” of others. These ideas then take root in our minds, evolving into what we perceive as our genuine mental pathways. This process is known as “mental induction,” a natural phenomenon based on the electromagnetic field generated by the mind.
Unless we attain a state of awakening, we are all susceptible to induction — especially if we remain unaware of this phenomenon. This vulnerability increases if it is intentionally manipulated by those with malicious intent. The most effective defense against negative influences is to maintain a high vibrational frequency, as a higher vibration will always surpass a lower one.
This elevation is accomplished through mental transmutation, which Hermetists describe as the practical application of the principle of vibration. Humans possess the ability to generate vibrations on the mental plane and to polarize their minds to achieve a desired vibrational state.
The Key: Understanding Vibration and Mass Frequency
Ultimately, the crux of this discussion lies in vibration or mass frequency. It is the vibratory state that shapes our reality, aligning us with specific experiences and manifestations. By understanding and mastering this vibratory frequency, we can more effectively navigate the subtle dynamics of the mind and the universe.
