Is There Science Behind The Law Of Attraction?

By: Dick Ingersoll


Since the very successful movie The Secret came out, people across the world have taken a fascination with the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction states that we actualize reality through our thoughts and intentions. But does this "law" have any scientific verification?

Currently, the most misunderstood branch of science is quantum physics. Quantum physics investigates the fabric of our reality and attempts to explain how the micro affects the macro. Quantum physics is still largely immature, as we do not have the tools yet to see deep enough (small enough) into matter to know everything. However, what has been revealed so far is more than enough from which to grasp a practical understanding of the Law of Attraction.

One of the most compelling discoveries of quantum physics is that matter can behave like a particle or a wave. Permit me to explain A particle is solid matter - it is limited to being in one place at a time, and you can always identify its location. A wave, however, is not a finite point. The definition of a wave, as it relates to physics, is as follows: a progressive disturbance propagated from point to point in a medium or space without progress or advance by the points themselves, as in the transmission of sound or light. Sound confusing? Don't worry, you don't have to understand that, just realize that waves are not finite. Light and sound are examples of waves.

Now what quantum physics has discovered is that when firing very small particles called electrons through two slits, if observation was made of the electrons while going through the slits, then they acted as particles. Each electron picked one slit, went through it, and hit the screen on the back. The result after firing hundreds or thousands of these was a two-slit pattern. However, if the electrons were NOT observed while going through the slits, they created a large interference pattern on the screen behind, which is the pattern caused by a wave. Additionally, the pattern displayed interference from the slits, which proves further that the electrons passed through the slits as a wave, and not as solid particles.

So what does that mean for us? When you consider the fact that electrons and other small particles are what our entire world is built out of, the implications are enormous. An observer actually affects objective events on a subatomic level. Our act of observation, thought, and emotion modifies the world. When scientists attempted to watch an electron and decide where it would go, they found that wherever the observer anticipated it would show up is where it would show up. The implications of this are equally huge - our expectations, and beliefs literally form the world around us on a subatomic scale!

Obviously, the ability of our thoughts and beliefs to alter and create reality is precisely what the Law of Attraction is teaching us. Now that you have a little scientific background, maybe you can put your current beliefs aside and try it out. If someone told you that you could have everything you wanted, would that at least be worth giving it a try? Suspend your disbelief, and be amazed!

Debt Collection And The Law | Know Your Rights

By: lar


If you owe money to a debt collection agency or debt collector, you need to know what they can and cannot do in order to collect monies owed to them. You have an obligation to pay what you owe, and the debt collectors have an obligation to follow the law and not harass you at home or at work.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act applies to those who collect debts owed to creditors for personal, family and household debts. These include car loans, mortgages, charge accounts and money owed for medical bills. A debt collector is someone hired to collect money you owe.

Within five days after a debt collector first contacts you, the collector must send you a notice that tells you the name of the creditor, how much you owe, and what action to take if you believe you don't owe the money.

If you owe the money or part of it, contact the creditor to arrange for payment.

If you believe you don't owe the money, contact the creditor in writing and send a copy to the collection agency with a letter telling them not to contact you. A debt collector may not:

Contact you at unreasonable times, for example, before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., unless you agree;

Contact you at work if you tell the debt collector your employer disapproves;

Contact you after you write a letter telling them to stop—except to notify you if the collector or creditor plans to take a specific action;

Contact your friends, relatives, employer or others—except to find out where you live and work;

Harass you through threats to harm you, profane language or repeated telephone calls;

Make any false statement, or claim that you will be arrested; or

Threaten to have money deducted from your paycheck or to sue you—unless the collection agency or creditor intends to do so and it is legal.

You have a responsibility to pay off any debt that you owe. Debt collection agencies also have a responsibility to treat their customers with respect and follow the law.

If you are being harassed by a debt collection agency, contact the authorities and report them.

Know Your Rights – Understand The Lemon Law

By: Barry Edzant


Think you've gotten yourself a lemon? Trust your instincts and know your rights.

In California, there is an excellent consumer protection law known as the "Lemon Law" (Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act). This law enables California consumers to take legal action against the manufacturers of defective vehicles.

The Lemon Law is reasonably easy to comprehend. If you have given the manufacturer ample time to fix your car and it still isn't right, they must either replace or reimburse you the cost of the purchase price.

Four attempts at a repair that remains un-repaired constitute a "reasonable" attempt. If the defect is "life-threatening or likely to cause serious bodily injury," you only need two repairs to be considered reasonable. If the repairs are attempted within the manufacturer's warranty period and the vehicle is inoperable for a cumulative thirty days it also falls within the scope of the Lemon Law. Not only must the manufacturer replace the vehicle, they are also liable for other incurred expenses such as vehicle repairs, towing, license fees, and rental expenses.

There are, of course, some obstacles. The vehicle must still fall under the first manufacturer's warranty and the problems must affect the safety, value, or use of the vehicle. For example, the Lemon Law would not cover something like a constantly broken cup holder. This law is also not applicable to motor homes, motorcycles, or vehicles primarily created for off-road use (there are other laws to cover these types of vehicles). A mileage deduction for mileage put on the vehicle before the defect occurs is something a manufacturer is entitled to. Check to see if other restrictions apply.

Because of the Lemon Law, you will be fortunate enough to get the lemon out of your driveway and get back at least some, if not all, of the money you spent on the purchase, which includes loan payments and any other loss you may have incurred. The Lemon Law was created as a consumer protection law and protects as intended.
