What You Didn't Know About the Law of Attraction

By Joseph R. Plazo Plazo
Imagine for a moment that it’s Monday. The alarm clock rings at six. It’s like a thunderclap cutting through the haze of yesterday’s white whine and three hours worth of Friend’s rerun.

So you get up… and accidentally bang your knee on the bedpost. Dark murderous thoughts fire across your neurons as you amble to the bathroom where you stub your toe.

Bam. Suddenly everything and everyone is public enemy number one.

You snarl at the wife handing you eggs.

You froth at Junior offering you coffee.

And you kick the fat hairy walking sofa licking your hand.

The rest of the day obviously spiralled for the worst- in fact you almost get fired for biting off the boss’ head.

That’s the Law of Attraction working against you. What you think and feel attracts the same. The Law of Attraction is simply the manifestation of your mind in the real world.

Let’s do a little experiment.

Hold out your arms and ask a friend to push it down as you think of something great- like when you snagged a promotion or enjoyed a night of steamy sex. He’d have difficulty pushing.

Now repeat the same while thinking about debts, bills, war or your in-laws.

He should push it down very easily. What gives?

Your mind transforms your body. Simple as that. What you think and feel empowers or weakens you.

Do you want to go around the world lugging a bunch of energy-sapping emotions? Or do you want to dominate your environment?

Here are five amazing tips I’ve implemented to explode the power of attraction in my life:

1) Always ask yourself “What Great Things Can I accomplish today” upon getting up. This sets the tone of your day and primes you attract positive opportunities.

2) Always be grateful for the things you took for granted. Like simply that you’re breathing. Say “Thank you, Im still breathing! Im luckier than that bloke under the tombstone.” Gratitude naturally and easily conditions you for affuence and attracts more empowered men and women into your life.

3) Something bad happen? Shrug it off and flick it from your jacket like lint. This action rapidly kicks any negative thoughts that may attract bad things into your day.

4) Hang out only with positive people. Like attracts like. Remember that.

5) And finally… treat people the way the expect to be treated. They will reciprocate and hold you in high regard. Build your social network on the right foot and expect to fly to the top of your aspirations. Attract the right people, support them and they will attract for you the right conditions for success!

Love and Law, Love through Law

By Tina Montalto
As Religious Scientists or followers of the Science of Mind principles, we often hear the teaching described as Love through Law.

We often focus on and understand more fully the "Law" part. We can easily describe Law as the impersonal, mechanical and mathematically-precise force in the Universe that is the "doer" in the Creative Process. It is Universal Subjectivity. It is the Creative Medium into which we plant our thought-kernels. When we do a Spiritual Mind Treatment (http://www.consciouskernels.com/sevenstep.html), we are working with the Law. We talk about the Law of Cause and Effect, we talk about the Law of Correspondence, we talk about the Law of Attraction.

But, I think as a whole, we tend to give the Love part of Love and Law a backseat. It is harder to wrap our intellectual minds around something more ethereal. We can intellectually understand Law because its work is observable and measureable. Love? Harder to pin down.

Love has been defined by Ernest Holmes as "the self-givingness of the Spirit through the desire of Life to express Itself in terms of creation." Huh?

How about this definition: Love is the unconditional givingingness of Spirit to Itself through the act of creation. This is a little easier to understand. We all know what unconditional is. We know what giving is. Spirit can only give to Itself because that is all there is. We, by the way, are part of "Itself". And we all know what creation is.

So Love is Spirit giving Itself (which is All Good and Only Good) to Itself by creating more of Itself without any conditions or restrictions. OK. So how do we give Love equal time as we go about our Spiritual Practice and Spiritual Growth?

I think this is where a little quiet contemplation may be useful. Whereas a Spiritual Mind Treatment is done with a specific purpose in mind and with using the Law (which has been freely given to us by Spirit), perhaps a simple practice of thinking about God's Quality of Love without any specific purpose may help us connect more fully with Spirit.

What I am suggesting you do is get in touch with Universal Love. Sometimes I sit in a quiet place, maybe a little music playing in the background, and I try to just feel the Presence of God. Like a big warm embracing hug enveloping me. A calm and peace and feeling of well-being surrounding me and existing within me. Feeling like I am the Beloved in whom God is well-pleased. Start with yourself. And then, when you are ready, expand that embracing hug to every person on the planet, to every living thing in the Universe. Spiritual Love is giving goodwill to all. See Spirit in yourself and everyone. That is practicing the Presence.

We are Scientists, yes. But I think everyone would benefit if we all incorporate into our Spiritual Practice a little more Love with our Law.

The Rex Files: Your Dog and the Law

By Emma Snow
Even insurance companies are putting in their two cents worth when it comes to our furry family members. While it’s not always a top concern for many dog owners, it’s definitely in your best interest to be aware of the legal implications of owning a pet. Considering that animal laws are not usually a result of state or federal battles (contrary to that portrayed in Legally Blonde 2), but rather the consequence of neighborhood squabbles turned complaints to local governments, it’s the duty of a pet owner to be aware of possible nuisance factors and train your dog to be a good canine citizen, to prevent confrontation or the threat of litigation.

To start, you should become acquainted with the state and county laws as well as the pet-related ordinances in your city. These vary from location to location, and can often be found on the internet. These rules encompass such things as licensing and tagging your pet, leash laws, limits, vaccination requirements, breeding restrictions, and areas where no dogs may be allowed. While most governments have found it unconstitutional to ban specific breeds, you may want to check your home owner’s insurance policy in case they charge a fine for more “aggressive” breeds such as pit bulls and rottweilers.

Keep in mind that just because there’s not a law against something, it doesn’t mean Rover couldn’t get in trouble doing it. Good neighbor laws constitute practices that keep canines on the friendly side of the law. Gone are the days when you could let the dog out unsupervised to do its thing. Better to play it safe. After all, it is up to you to prove that you are a responsible owner, and that your dog is an asset to the neighborhood. Once you’ve given your neighbors cause to believe otherwise you may quickly find out how miserable your neighbors can make your life.

First and foremost, know your dog. Know what agitates him, watch for aggressive behavior and NEVER encourage it by playing combative games. (The majority of dog bite victims are family members. Never “mean up” your dog to turn it into a watch dog!) On the contrary, properly socialize your dog, and let neighbors, especially their children, know what your dog will and will not tolerate. If your dog does bite—or even snap—talk to your vet right away. Dog bites are the most prevalent and expensive legal problem; take this warning seriously and keep your dog’s nose out of the courtroom!

The second most publicized pet problem has to do with irresponsible dog breeders. I’m talking about those owners who start with a female dog, and for one reason or another they neglect having her spayed. Within months Ginger is pregnant. Litter after litter, puppies are born, and given away, left to roam the neighborhood, or dumped. Unless you are a professional breeder with champion-quality purebreds, there is no good reason to breed your pet. Don’t fall prey to the notion that Pookie needs a litter to feel fulfilled, or that Shasta will be a wimp if he is neutered. Above all, forget the idea that the kids will learn the miracle of life if their pet has a litter. Good, responsible pet owners always sterilize their animals.

To further foster positive pet attitudes in your neighborhood, follow these general guidelines: never leave your pet outside unattended. Dogs left outside may bark, dig their way out of the yard, or menace passer-bys. Keep Baron confined when he’s not on a leash. Always clean up after your pet, even in your own yard. A lawn dotted with dog feces raises eyebrows of even the most patient neighbor. Finally, attend obedience training for at least two sessions to teach Rex some manners. You may consider certifying Winnie with the Canine Good Citizen test when she is past six months old.

Being aware and proactive about the legal side of dog ownership pays off for everyone in the end: dogs, their owners, law-makers, as well as the general public. Remember, it is your responsibility to show that dog ownership is respectable and responsible.

US Trademark Law

By Sharon White
Trademark law has sought to protect not just the company and the products that it produces, but consumers and their interest in purchasing a product with consistent quality. Permitting a company to take advantage of a well known product and benefit from its famous name hurts not just the company with the famous name, but the consumer who mistakenly purchases the product believing it is the famous brand. One problem lies in the fact that there are different types of consumers. There are consumers that are product savvy and would not confuse two similar products, but there are unsophisticated consumers who will undoubtedly confuse the two. An actual harm requirement hurts the unsophisticated consumer by requiring consumer confusion before the famous brand can ask for an injunction pursuant to the Federal Trademark Dilution Act.

From the time of the Industrial Revolution trademarks have been important to commerce. Marks were used to identify a manufacturer’s product and to differentiate it from other products in the market. Consumers would rely on these marks to indicate where particular products came from. Congress’s first attempt at federal trademark legislation in 1870 failed as it was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1879. It was determined by the court that Congress was overstepping its authority granted in the commerce clause of the Constitution. Congress adopted a federal registration statute in 1881, with no mention of interstate commerce. It applied only to commerce with Indian tribes and foreign countries. Additionally, prior to 1905 it was required that the junior mark must not only bear a similar mark, but it must be in direct competition with the senior mark in order to seek an injunction.

If a consumer, who relied on a trademark as a product identifier, intended to purchase the senior mark’s product and mistakenly purchased the junior mark’s product, the senior mark lost profits and the consumer purchased something they did not intend to purchase.

The Law of Blasphemer is put for the Native and the Strangers

By Dr. Ibrahim Khalil
The law of blasphemy In the Bible
Blasphemer is stoned!
In Leviticus 24:13-16, the LORD Commands to Kill the Blasphemer.
This standing law for the stoning of blasphemers extends to the strangers among the Israelites as well as native Israelites,
-------------------------------------

Leviticus 24:13-16 in different versions of the Bible:

New International Version (NIV)
13 Then the LORD said to Moses: 14 "Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. 15 Say to the Israelites: 'If anyone curses his God, he will be held responsible; 16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.

New American Standard Bible (NASB)
13Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
14"Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him (C)lay their hands on his head; then (D)let all the congregation stone him.
15"You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, '(E)If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin.
16'Moreover, the one who (F)blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The alien as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

The Message (MSG)
13-16 Then God spoke to Moses: "Take the blasphemer outside the camp. Have all those who heard him place their hands on his head; then have the entire congregation stone him. Then tell the Israelites, Anyone who curses God will be held accountable; anyone who blasphemes the Name of God must be put to death. The entire congregation must stone him. It makes no difference whether he is a foreigner or a native, if he blasphemes the Name, he will be put to death.

Darby Translation (DARBY)
13And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
14Lead the reviler outside the camp; and all that heard [him] shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him.
15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth his God shall bear his sin.
16And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah shall certainly be put to death; all the assembly shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.

King James Version (KJV)
13And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
14Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
16And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
-------------------------------

A Biblical example of application of the Law: "Kill the Blasphemer"
1 Kings 21:10-14 states that Naboth has cursed God, and then the elders and nobles stoned him to death according to the Law.

1 Kings 21:10-14 [New International Version (NIV)]

10 But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify that he has cursed both God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death."
11 So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth's city did as Jezebel directed in the letters she had written to them. 12 They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth in a prominent place among the people. 13 Then two scoundrels came and sat opposite him and brought charges against Naboth before the people, saying, "Naboth has cursed both God and the king." So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death. 14 Then they sent word to Jezebel: "Naboth has been stoned and is dead."

=========

The law of blasphemy in the in the Noble Quran

There is nothing in the Quran saying: Kill the Blasphemer.
-------------------------------

What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill anyone who 1) is Uncircumcised, 2) curses his parents, 3) is a gay, 4) is Zoosexual 5) works in the Sabbath! 6) tries to turn you away from the LORD, 7) lives in that town, 8) is a false prophet, 9) is a Midianites, 10) is the Owner of the ox and 11) is adulterer, 12) eats leavened bread, 13) eats the meat of the sacrifice of peace, 14) eats blood, 15) approaches the holy gifts, 16) does not eat the Passover, 17) touches a dead body, 18) sins defiantly and/or blasphemes the name of the LORD.
What the Western Media would have said? What names they have given the Quran in such case?
=========

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?"
