Is the Law of Attraction a New Concept?
No...
Man appears to have always had an inbuilt understanding of the Law of Attraction, and it has certainly been featured in his belief structures and sacred writings:
For as he [man] thinketh in his heart, so is he... (Holy Bible - Proverbs)
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Jesus Christ)
Ask,
and it shall be given you… For every one that asketh receiveth… (Jesus christ)
All that we are is the result of what we have
thought. (Buddha)
Whatever your mind can conceive and can believe, it can achieve. (Napoleon Hill, c.1937)
Mind is the master weaver, both of the
interior garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance. (James Allen, c.1902)
When any object or purpose is clearly
held in thought, its precipitation, in tangible and visible form, is merely a question of time. The vision always precedes and itself
determines the realization. (Lillian Whiting, c.1918)
The possibilities of thought training are infinite, its consequence eternal,
and yet few take the pains to direct their thinking into channels that will do them good, but instead leave all to chance. (Marden,
c.1918)
We have discovered that premeditated, orderly thinking for a purpose matures that purpose into fixed form, so that we may be absolutely sure of the result of our dynamic experiment. (Francis Larimer Warner, c.1918)
