Silence"
I was asked by one forumer on 'one post' here in Global Malaysians that read :

Foo and everyone.I do not know if you people believe in the universal
or cosmic power that talks about laws of attraction. It is the one 'moment in time'
when you give to the needies or being good samaritans, and for some reason,
you 'overlook' the thought of getting something back in return but quoting Foo
- "done in good faith and humanity"In mostt cases, you WILL get something back
(some sort like a 'reward' for good deeds - provided that you're not hoping for
something in return).
Has it ever occur to you that why do philantropists making good habits to give 1/2 or
1/4 of their wealth for good causes? Oooo..some people told me, it's because to avoid
tax. But try to think for a while if you are to become very very rich and you've got
everything in the world that you've ever wished for, what else is there to do with the
balance? Keep it to yourself? 'm sure you all know who Bill Gates is. He was the
President of Microsoft once and he got so bored sitting up there and went down 'demoting'
himself to become the Marketing man and start pushing Microsoft's marketing.
Then he somehow felt that it's time to pass over to new breed and blood and now he's in
his very own foundation..doing what? Becoming more generous and generous.I recalled
talking to Gerard Lee about this matter but in the economics perspective -
i.e. Liquidity in the long run. But not so many people has this kind of 'faith'
(even if they do..they can't stand the pressure too long)...most of them are impatient
...when they give something, they do want something back in return and fast!
Someone very wise told me the following words: "If you are too obsessed in chasing for
richness, you cannot define yourself as working hard, but you are; in fact; greedy.
Just stop the chasing for a while and you'll see, the richness will come to seek you."
"There's no such thing as a "Perfect Human Being"....when you try to be too perfect &
cannot afford to make any mistakes, you're killing yourself or worse commit suicide..but
if you can afford to make mistakes and learn from them - that's what being human is all
about..not a perfect human but human."
Another ruling on the laws of attraction states that instead you're focussing your inner
powers so much to weaken certain people in order to 'take over' their position, you are
actually making them more powerful and usually you'll loose in the end. On the other
hand,
you should focus and telling yourself these positive vibes- "I can do it..I can do it...
I can do it...I will succeed, I will succeed, I will succeed" or if you want take him/her
to become your idol, you can tell yourself "He's/She's a normal human being, he/she has
brains, he/she works hard....So do I"Something for you all to think about.
Cheers (I'm off to work again)
--------------------------------------
The questions are about to know more about Laws of Attraction - among others:
1) Logical or not logical?
2) How it is actually done?
3) Would I be successful?
And I have great respect for the forumer because he/she (?) said :
"Criticize me if you have to! I can take it!" So here goes..
I need to tell this forumer (hereinafter referred to as "You" :-)) that I myself is not
an expert or 'authority' in this field but I can share few tips :
(but alas, for personal reasons, I can't tell you or guarantee success or have I been
successful in practising this?Otherwise a lot of people will take my words as gospel)
My answers will be based on few books that I've read from renowned authors such as:
a. Victor Norman Peale
b. Jose Silva
c. Napoleon Hill
d. Wallace D. Wattles
e. Joe Vitale
If you have read any of these books or similar to them, you will know that the first
golden rule of practising Law of Attraction (as they call it today or any other
equivalent
terms used) is :
a. Cast away your doubts - Believe - in other words - Have faith.
Thus when you asked in your 3rd question :"Will it be succesful?" - Then I would deem
that
you have broken to first rule by being doubtful? :-)
(inquisitiveness? curiosity? you said? Nay..they are totally different - in spelling and
in meaning..
inquisitiveness is usually being expressed by a practitioner/believer but he/she wanted
to continually
improve his/hertechniques) - no offend :-)
Coming back to the first question.
b. Is it logical or not logical.
My answer would be :
The decision of whether it is logic or non-logic is made by you and you alone - not me or
not the authors. It is really up to you to reject or accept.
But you asked : Logic or Not Logic...Again the question represents :doubt.
A popular management phrase :
"People will reject something that they don't understand" which is to be simply
interpreted
as "Rejection to CHANGE!"
(Remember when many ancient scientists been considered magicians and eventually punished
unfairly because people at that time REJECT things that they do not understand - luckily
I don't live in this era! :-) )
Thus, if you are a teacher, do you find it difficult to explain or to educate the
students once
they have the REJECTION* attitude/mindset 'built-in'..
I'm sure and really hope - you're not one of them. (*Ignorance/Just Don't want or don't
wish to
understand or afraid of the consequences) Less but not least,
c) "How is it done?"
My question back to you? Have you actually read any of the books? :-)
How come you're asking me back the questions when you said you have actually READ one of
the books I mentioned above? Really?
Now, after you have read my views on your questions, you can now read the
non-intellectual
tips once you have considered seriously what I've said above. All positive inputs are
meant
only for positive ouputs.
(Yeah I know people might misunderstood and argue on the typical fomula Positive +
Positive
but I'm not referring to 3 M (Maths or Marriage or Magnetic Field)..I'm talking about
'karma' or 'what goes around comes around' or whatever you want to call it)
I use to tell my friends all the time :
"If you pose someone a stupid question, (it is likely that) you'll get a stupid answer"
"The mirror doesn't lie to you, it's you who are lying to the mirror"
If you read back the original thread posted here, I was talking about being generous once
you're rich. This statement; if not properly understood; might be seen as
'self-imposement
of 'self created strict law' that you MUST forced/coerced) give in order to make LOA
works!
(hahaha..you're DEAD wrong!)
If you think that being generous will make you reap rewards, think again!
(In another perspective, you are teaching 'the man upstairs' of his job...when he already
know
what his job is...it's you who do not understand..you are providing your own terms and
conditions that is "If I give I must get something back" who you're foolin?)
If I am him, I would say to you "You dare to teach me!!" :-) )
a) It is not really being generous when you start lying to yourself - means that
'you are asking/hoping something in return for something you give?" which makes you to a
certain degree - an 'insincere' person? Again another golden rule broken.
b) you are creating another 'false rule yourself' about YOU MUST BE GENEROUS when you're
practising Laws of Attraction (LOA).
What really is happening to you at this juncture is that without you realizing it, you
are
actually trying to pathetically xeroxing Bill Gates or Rockafeller without asking them
why
the heck are you guys being generous? Rule broken again.
The idea of being generous ONLY when you have money is illogical. So, you don't have
money,
you're not generous'lah'?...a rather narrow thinking - don't you think?
How about sharing food? or giving away/donating your clothes or other valuables to people
in need? Being generous is not necessarily because you have money. I don't think you will
be successful in your life if you hold to this principle. It's like waiting to be rich
first before you can become generous later...hahaha..good luck my friend..
I'll tell you what this 'generous' attitude really means (in my opinion - taking into
account the books that I've read):
Being generous is the expression of "being thankful" or "greatful" for "what you have
been 'awarded'
with..that's all. (and it's not only MONEY!)
Otherwise you'll end being generous because the LOA says so...which is not really
accurate. (I'm not
saying it's wrong to be generous but change the perspective a bit)
Now, how to create that 'thankful feeling' on the first place? Here are some basics :
Just flashback and remember/recall what has befallen you "BEFORE YOU ARE RICH" in the
past?
Financial Difficulty? Being Poor? How does it feel like? Would you want to be 'that way'
again? Or have you forgotten your 'dark' past?
Only then, you would be really be thankful or greatful and as a result you would be
generous...now this is PURE SINCERITY - (which you will definitely FEEL so good..trust
me)
not to mention of donating without wanting publicity (that is a BONUS!)
Thus, you're being generous because you're thankful or greatful for what you have been
bestowed with and feel so good when you can help people out...You don't need anything in
return
because you already GOT IT!
Thus :
Input = Practising LOA
Output = Being Thankful/Greatful equals to "Generosity/Pure Sincererity"
(God..I feel like I'm a somesort of a 'guru' or something...hahaha..funny)
Now this is what I call giving back what you have been given.
