Truth About Attraction And Deliberate Creation of Life And Reality. From Henk and Nicholas,
Everyone seems to strive to be ’successful’ in life. We all look to apply the ‘Law of Attraction’ to gain ’success’. But what is ’success’? What makes you successful, and what makes you a ‘failure’?
To answer this question, let’s first take a look at our world. Our societies are completely focused on our five senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling. Our five senses are constantly stimulated. They are enticed and exploited all the time.
It is therefore no surprise that we tend to focus our minds on materialism 24 hours per day. We tend to focus all the time on big cars, big houses, lots of money in the bank, and so on.
There is nothing wrong with that in itself. Neither does this mean that being ’spiritual’ equals being poor and living in a dump. That doesn’t make sense either. The problem is not with the ‘material’ objects themselves. I’ll get back to this later.
First, I’d like to know this… So many people want to ‘attract a new car’. But what is it with cars anyway? Somehow the car has become a symbol of status, of ’success’. I know a number of people (even some well-known ones) who are so obsessed with their cars, they even give names to their car.
A friend of mine had a car and was really proud of it. He called this car ‘Infinity’. Another friend of mine doesn’t care the least bit about what kind of car he drives.
Still, he needed to buy a car the other day to be able drive to work. But because he didn’t really care about it, he simply bought the first set of wheels that he liked even just a bit and of which he thought the price was right for him. “If I can drive to work and back with it, then that’s a great car for me”, he thought.
He bought himself a pretty old car to be honest. It certainly didn’t look that fancy. The other friend would have dubbed it a piece of junk. But this guy couldn’t care less. In fact, he could see the fun of it. In response to my other friend who called his car ‘Infinity’, this guy decided to give his car a name too. He called it ‘Finity’.
I kid you not, this is a true story. What it illustrates is the relativity of ’status’ and ’success’. What one person would consider being dignified, could be considered by the next person as pathetic.
Like I said, the trap is not with material objects themselves. These are just frequency patterns anyway. The problem comes when we see those objects as the ultimate goals and the very symbols of success that confirm whether we ‘made it’ in life or not.
It is for this reason that many people look to others to confirm to themselves if they are ‘doing well’ or if they are ’successful’. When you don’t succeed in terms of big houses, big cars, big money, you are often considered as a ‘failure’, and often consider yourself as such.
The whole system thrives on consumption and the constant expansion of consumption, and the more we consume, the more we are considered to be ’successful’. This even leads to many people borrowing more of what they don’t have and getting in even deeper trouble, simply to provide themselves the very things that should testify to others of their alleged ’success’.
So is this the kind of ’success’ you are looking for?
What if I told you that the real success you are looking for is not having all kinds of material stuff, but is actually called ‘happiness’?
After all, why would you want a lot of money, or a big house, or a big car? Why would you want others to approve of you?
In the end it all comes down to a desire for a sense of security and happiness, and being able to live life on your own terms. The quest ends when you’re happy and fulfilled.
But when are you happy and fulfilled?
Here’s a hint from what a wise man once said:
“Money and fame do not happiness make.”
Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with having a lot of money, or being well-known, or having big cars and big houses. These are all thought fields and are just experience. The problem is that so many people get absorbed in pursuing the material ‘dream’ that they forget about why they are doing that in the first place.
I believe it was John Harricharan who said this:
“Most people are so busy trying to make a living, they forget to make a life.”
He’s right. Most people are ‘human doings’ instead of ‘human beings’.
The funny thing is that the greatest payoff from trying to get what you want through working with the ‘Law of Attraction’ or ‘deliberate creation’ comes from a state of being. It is a state of happiness, contentment and love and gratitude for what IS that gets you what you truly want.
At any rate, the greatest payoff from your attraction efforts does certainly not come from an obsession with ever more material stuff in the merry-go-round that gets faster by the day, for the sole reason to seek approval and confirmation of your ’success’ from others, in order to compensate for a lack of self-esteem that is the cause of this obsession to begin with.
A sense of security, self-esteem and ’success’ is found within yourself, not outside.
And the funny thing is that once you give up the obsession with possession and finally acknowledge your true self, the person who you really are deep inside, you seem to manifest what you want much more easily.
When that happens, you can enjoy all kinds of material stuff as much as you like, if that’s what you choose. You can choose to have a big car if you like. You can choose to live in a big house if that’s what you want.
The difference is that you won’t be controlled by the never-ending pursuit of these things. You won’t be ‘on the path to happiness and success’ anymore. You would just BE happy instead, and from there you will allow things to manifest instead of chasing them forever. It’s a small difference in perception, but with profound effects.
It is then that you will start to live life, instead of life living you.
So what is ’success’?
Success, my friend, is what you define it to be.
Now go manifest your success, whatever that is for you!

So by now you probably know that your mind is a pretty powerful thing.
You’ve been able to read a very comprehensive case for this in the e-book on the Premises of Your Own Power that we made available for free.
(If you don’t have it yet, you can acquire it upon subscription to our newsletter by entering your name and e-mail on the right).
After that, we illustrated this some more in our article on reality creation (found here).
To summarize, we can say that the mind is very powerful and can be applied to create almost anything that you really want in life, if one condition is met.
That one condition is that your mind needs to be focused on what you really want.
But we can hear you already:
“Yeah, yeah… I’ve heard this a thousand times already, focus on what you want and you get more of what you want. Blah, blah, what else is new…”
Before you even think of clicking this article away because you’ve heard this more than a thousand times, hang on! The thing is that there’s a catch to this story that we really want to make you aware of.
You’re probably thinking that you already know this. After all, many others have already emphasized the fact that you should ‘focus on the good things in life’ and tell you that you’ll get more of these if you do.
The thing is that many people only have an intellectual awareness of this. But that doesn’t mean they really know the catch.
You see, in many cases the people fail to realize one crucial thing. Or at least they forget to give sufficient emphasis to it.
What we’re touching upon here could be the crux of the matter and the main reason why so many people can’t seem to create a life of happiness or even the one of their dreams, even when they know about the principles of life (‘universal laws’ if you will).
So how can that be?
How is it possible that even when you know about these ‘universal laws’, you still can’t seem to ‘get what you really want’?
There are two main reasons for this…
One of these is something that’s a little deep for this article. We discuss this in detail in our third practical module. So we won’t get into that here.
The other thing is very basic, and is actually one of the first things that you should give your attention to if you haven’t done so already.
In fact, this ‘other thing’ is the very foundation for your ‘success’, whatever that is for you…
Here’s the thing…
Intellectually realizing that you should ‘focus on the good things’ and then repeating an affirmation all day long is not enough…
Not that you’re not doing enough, that’s not really the point. You may actually be doing too much.
The thing is that you shouldn’t just be in tune with your image of success, but with your whole being. But how do you do this?
We went into some of the details of this in another article on the law of attraction and success, found here.
The moral of that story was that success is what you define it to be. It’s not some artificial image imposed by someone else or some institution of what you are supposed to be or have in order to be considered ‘successful’ by them.
Instead, success is a measure for the extent to which you have managed to realize who you feel you are deep inside, or who you feel you should be.
It’s about you defining who you are and then living that image.
Next, in order to be ‘successful’ (whatever that is for you), you should be in tune with that image that you’ve defined yourself. And you should be in tune with it from top to toe (even the private parts) and every single level of your being.
Why every single level?
Because you may be able to fool your conscious mind (your intellect), but you won’t be able to fool the subtle levels on which your deepest feelings come into play.
And to stick with the common ‘Law of Attraction’ terminology, it’s on these ‘subtle’ levels where the true exchange of ‘vibrations’ takes place.
You know, there’s a part of you that transcends your intellect. That part is actually who you really are. It’s your infinite awareness, your individual perspective in the ‘ocean of consciousness’ that we talk about in our books (available here).
Once you’ve defined who you are, by acknowledging who you are deep inside, you really can ‘attract everything you really want’. But you can do that only if you stop going with your ‘intellect’ all the time, and start listening to the ‘infinite awareness’ part of yourself.
You need to start listening to your intuition!
This is crucial in ‘making the Law of Attraction work for you’. But sadly, few people are doing this, because they’re too busy trying to attract things that would get them other people’s confirmation of their alleged success.
But like we’ve been saying all along, when it comes to ‘success and the Law of Attraction, it’s not about other people’s measures of success.
Success is what you define it to be, according to your values, your image of who you are, and your intuition (infinite awareness).
Let’s try to illustrate this based on a couple of examples…
First of all, quite simply, if you’re five-feet two and thin as a rake, then it’s safe to say that your destiny is not to be world heavyweight boxing champion.
That’s something you just intuitively know. You may still consciously intend to be, and stick pictures of Rocky Balboa drinking his raw eggs and Evander Holyfield beating up Mike Tyson on your fridge and bathroom mirror, and you can lift weights all you like.
But you’d be swimming up against the stream. You’d be pursuing something that’s not you. And thus, the path won’t be laid out for you. You’d never get there ‘like magic’ and ‘easily’.
And even in the highly unlikely case that you would get there, chances are you wouldn’t feel fulfilled and happy anyway.
You’ll go through a lot of trouble for a long period of time, only to find out in the end that you’ve been trying to ‘manifest’ something that you didn’t really want in the first place.
The fact that most people pursue (try to ‘attract’) things they don’t really want, but only think they want to have others confirm their alleged ‘succes’, is the main reason why they can’t make the ‘Law of Attraction’ work for them.
You can’t fool the core of who you are.
You may pursue things you don’t really want, but you won’t ‘attract’ and ‘manifest’ these things ‘like magic’. When you try to ‘attract’ and ‘manifest’ stuff you don’t really want, the path will be bumpy.
The keyword is ‘really’. What do you really want?
Life doesn’t have to be hard. It’s a matter of choice:
You can simply acknowledge who you are. You can define yourself according to your own values and live that image. You can stop being who or what others think you’re supposed to be, and you can start being yourself.
And you think that will never get you what you really want?
Think again. Being who you truly are inside is what you really want. If that involves an Infinity-like ‘hip’ car as mentioned in our article on success, then great!
If it doesn’t and you think cars are stupid, stop trying to ‘attract a hip car’ strictly for the sake of it or for the confirmation of others of your ‘alleged’ success.
You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You are you, and you are free to be you.
And once you acknowledge this, you will find that you’ll suddenly ‘go with the flow’ much more, instead of swimming up against the stream.
After all, you’ll have a much easier time focusing on what you really want. You practically focus on that automatically, because you’re being you all the time.
Indeed, all levels of you will be ‘in tune’ with each other, inner conflicts will disappear, emotional distress will disappear, and all pieces of the puzzle of life will seem to fall into place.
Your infinite awareness will guide you, if you decide to listen to your intuition and act on your inspirations.
You’ll find that being you and being happy with yourself for who you really are, is the starting point from which all else follows.
And from there, you can playfully want things, even material ‘wealth’ such as ‘Infinity’-like cars. However, ‘playfully’ means that you won’t need that material wealth anymore to confirm that you are who you think you’re supposed to be. The difference is that you don’t need any external validation anymore for the fact that you’re okay already.
That’s the basis of attracting stuff you really want.
It’s a similar thing with money. Most people consciously think they want a lot of money. But they don’t. What they really want is to be who they are deep inside and do the things they want to do.
Once you acknowledge that, money is no longer an end in itself, but only a means to be able to do those things.
And we’ve heard it countless times… Once people start to focus on the things they truly want to be and do deep inside, money is suddenly not an issue anymore. It’s just there, as a means. No need to pursue it anymore as the main focus and end goal in life.

Anyway, once you start being who you really are (or who you define yourself to be) deep inside, you’ll simply know that you’re okay. You’ll know that you’re unique.
By living that uniqueness, whatever that is, you’ll be making your unique contribution to the world. That’s what you’re here for. And while you’re at it, you’ll automatically be focusing on what you really want (which is being you and realizing your greatest definition of who you are or think you should be).
And you’ll get inspired to go to places and to do certain things. Once you do those things, once you take those actions, you are “creating your own reality”, by making ‘real’ what you have thought into existence.
You create.
And that’s the secret.
And you know it. All you need to do is to remember it.
Who YOU are, who YOU define YOURSELF to be determines what you REALLY want in life.
Yes, you can have anything you want, anything you REALLY want that is…
But what you REALLY want depends on who you REALLY are, and who you REALLY define yourself to be. That has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with what society or others think who you are supposed to be, or what you are supposed to have.
So what is your passion? What is your dream? What makes you feel happy and fulfilled?
All in all: What does your intuition tell you?!
When you make the choice of ‘who you are’ (the intent), or in other words, when you set the definition of who you are, you’ll project the ‘frequency’, the ‘vibration’ that relates to that intent.
The deeper you know what you intended will happen, and the less you merely hope, the more powerful the ‘vibration’ you broadcast.
You are defining yourself right now. Everything you think, say and do, declares who you really are.
And everything you think say and do, follows from who you really are. How you react to the situations you’re presented with in your life defines who you are and follows from who you are.
And thus what you ‘attract’, or rather create during your life defines who you are and follows from who you are.
So there’s only one question that remains that can only be answered by you…
Who the hell are you?
