The lessons of the omnipotent and omnipresent Law of Attraction are deep spiritual lessons, reaching to the very soul and psyche of humanity, shedding unprecedented light on the consciousness underlying the universe and All That Is in it.
But Law of Attraction wouldn’t work at all if it didn’t also have a firm and inexorable footing in the physical. When we say that emotions and thoughts and desires are vibrations we are not speaking rhetorically or metaphorically.
The Law of Attraction is a science every bit as much as it a spiritual art. And the scientific roots of the Law of Attraction are in quantum physics.
The spiritual implications of quantum mechanics was made abundantly clear to the scientific, spiritual, and secular communities alike in Gary Zukav’s groundbreaking book “The Dancing Wu Li Master”. In it, he explains that the Chinese term for physics is Wu Li which translates literally to “patterns of organic energy”. He then goes on to illustrate how all that we perceive as the physical world and all things in it, including us, are actually these ever-dancing patterns of energy.
Here is the scientific iteration of what ancient theological tomes like the Tao Te Ching and the Bhagavad Gita have been saying all along, that all matter is but the ever-shifting, ever-changing interrelationships between these nonphysical patterns of possibility. That nothing is “real” in terms of its solidity and permanence. That everything is immaterial and in constant motion.
Humanity’s gift of consciousness, then, imbues us with the means to engage in the flow of that dance with intention: to guide and direct those energetic relationships to create those possibilities most preferable to us.
Quantum physics even finds evidence of this inexorable effect of consciousness on the physical world in the theory that “consciousness causes collapse”, what’s been deemed “the spiritual interpretation”, for explaining the mysterious waveform collapse responsible for the evolution of quantum systems. It seemed the waveform collapse only occurred when being observed by a conscious energy (ie. a person).
Other theories and experiments have broached this same phenomenon from other angles, including the Schroedinger’s Cat experiment (that the condition of an isolated cat could not be determined without the observer’s interference affecting the outcome) and the Uncertainty Principle (that the act of observing a phenomenon changes it).
All these discoveries of quantum physicists validate that consciousness affects outcome, mind affects matter.
Quantum theory can give us the keys to travel through deep space and time, to teleportation and telekinesis, the manipulation of matter, and even to immortality itself. Are these “super powers” and “supernatural phenomena” not merely different terms for the same sorts of energies we awaken within ourselves when we awaken to our own inextricable relationship with the Source?
Is not the power to effect radical transformation on a physical level with our minds alone just another way of looking at the power to create our own realities through our connection to Spirit?
Quantum physicists like Stephen Hawking continue to strive in their effort to come up with a unified Theory of Everything (ToE), a concise and comprehensive model for explaining and understanding everything that ever was, is , and will be. Proving the validity of the Law of Attraction on the purely physical, scientific level is an exceptionally promising stride.

What Is Our Purpose
Why are we here? Wouldn’t it be great to finally have an answer to that ages-old conundrum? What is the purpose of human life on this planet and, on a more personal level, what is our unique, individual purpose?
In order to discover the purpose of humanity in this Time-Space reality, let’s first examine a bit of the purpose of the Universe itself.
This Universe of ours is infinitely rich, diverse, and multifarious; and this is in no way any random accident. It is this way – full of contrast, of variety and opposing ideas – for a very important reason.
It is this way so that we – the conscious extensions of that fundamental Life Force, the creative source of All That Is – can actively participate in it’s never-ending creative expansion. The Universe is ever expanding, ever-evolving into more and more of what it already is: an infinite field of abundance. We are the directors of that expansion.
Everything that has ever been has led to this point Now; and everyone who ever was has led to this point of consciousness You. From here on, everything that is ever to become and everyone who is ever to be springs out of You in this moment Now. The Universe’s expansion and yours are intertwined; your personal evolution, the evolution of humanity, and that of the Universe are interdependent.
And how exactly does this happen? How, then, does this interdependent relationship work? So glad you asked.
The Universe is built on contrast and variety so that each of us can develop preferences, which in turn become desires. We need to experience, or at least be aware of, an idea and its opposite, a possibility and its antithesis, in order to decide for ourselves which one we like and which one we don’t.
Then, if we’re living our purpose, we focus on the ideas, the possibilities we like and in doing so summon those ideas and possibilities into the reality of life in this Time-Space Universe.
By summoning those conditions and experiences we desire (and, by unfortunate contrast, unwittingly summoning those we don’t) we are helping the Universe to expand (like breathing air into a balloon). And what’s more, we are ever contributing to the “shape” of that expansion.
The Universe is evolving, and we are the mind that directs the course of its evolution. But evolution is not necessarily towards some utopian ideal of perfection, some paradise on Earth: not by definition. Evolving towards a constant state of peaceful and joyous enlightenment is not a foregone conclusion.
We must choose that kind of fulfillment, with every breath, in order to make it so. And even then, there is no end, for the very nature of evolution is that it is always happening and never-ending. The Universe will never stop expanding, whether it’s being filled with beautiful things or not.
Likewise, there is no end, no destination for any of us. We too are always evolving, always expanding.
And as the desires we summon make themselves a part of our present awareness of reality, our vantage point on our lives and reality changes, our quality of discernment develops, thus changing our perceptions of what we want and imbuing us with new wants, thus infusing new desires “out” into the Universe, thus effecting the Universe’s continued expansion and, in turn, our continued fulfillment.
And so on, and so on.
