If everything in the physical universe carries an electromagnetic charge of some kind, and if the way we think can influence the electromagnetic activity in our brain then it stands to reason that if we learn to think in a certain way, we can begin to ‘attract’ into our lives whatever circumstances and conditions we choose to attract.
We have all heard this before at some point. Spiritual teachers have been telling us for centuries that our thoughts are attractive and that our thoughts determine our experience, and that if we want to experience change in our lives then we need to change the way we think. There has always been plenty of purely anecdotal evidence that this kind of advice is accurate and reliable, but now, in the phenomenon of magnetic attraction, science has given us a logical explanation for why this should be the case.
In decades past, it was difficult for people to understand how thinking something could make it so. The biggest problem was that the whole process used to be described in terms of ‘transforming’ thought directly into physical objects. This made people very confused about how creative thought energy was able to actually ‘solidify’ into physical matter. A number of theories were developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to explain the process, but none have been substantiated since. This is probably because what used to be described as a process of solidification is actually one of attraction.
Although there is no human being who can claim to fully understand the exact process by which ‘thoughts become things’, we can – by combining the findings of current scientific research with the observations of spiritual thinkers over several thousand years – formulate a working hypothesis that is useful.
Since our thoughts have an electromagnetic quality then they – like all other electromagnetic waves – must radiate out into the world around us. Just as radio waves, microwaves and x-rays are capable of travelling vast distances, so it is logical that thought waves could do the same.
Then, if all physical matter carries an electromagnetic charge, however small, it is also logical that any object or person carrying a charge that is similar in nature to the charge of the thought will respond via a process of ‘magnetic attraction’. Or, if the charge of the object or person is dissimilar in nature to the charge of the thought, they will respond via a process of magnetic repulsion. All of this brings us to the traditional conclusions that ‘like attracts like’ and ‘as a man thinketh, so is he.’
As living, breathing human beings, we are thinking all the time, and the overall nature of our thoughts therefore determines the overall nature of the things we experience in life. In order to change the nature of the things we experience in life, it is essential to change the nature of our thoughts.
