The Law of Attraction teaches that thoughts become things. That’s LOA 101, right?
And yet, until recently, I had never asked or even wondered how. How do thoughts become things? Specifically, what happens in the brain which results in attracting what we focus on?
I became fascinated to understand how the brain translates thought into its material equivalent.
So I set about reading books, watching YouTube videos, googling and asking ChatGPT how the brain’s vast network of billions of neurons and trillions of connections turns thoughts into things.
Expressing this ridiculously complex topic in the most simplistic terms:
*When we think a thought, the brain broadcasts electromagnetic signals out into the field of infinite potential.
*When we think a thought, we create or strengthen neural pathways and synaptic connections in the brain. We are thus tuning the brain to continue thinking similar thoughts.
Discussing my question – how do thoughts become things – with my wise friend, Deborah, she reminded me to consider the heart as well as the brain.
Because thoughts produce feelings:
*When we think a thought, our brain releases chemicals which we perceive as emotion. As we know, feeling is an essential aspect of thoughts becoming things.
*It is, therefore, more correct to say thoughts plus emotions become things.
In response to our thoughts, both the brain and the heart send out electromagnetic vibrations which the Law of Attraction matches. And, of course, thoughts become matching things whether we’re thinking about what we do want or what we don’t want.
When we think thoughts that feel good, we strengthen neural pathways for feeling good and tune the brain to attract back to us things that feel good.
Obviously, it’s not necessary to understand how thoughts become things in order to manifest our desires. But perhaps adding a basic understanding of the science behind the woo may remove limiting beliefs about unworthiness or powerlessness. It may make manifesting seem more within our control and more do-able as we understand a bit of the science behind the formula: Think + Feel = Attract
