5.0 out of 5 stars Best book by far on "Law of Attraction", October 4, 2006

This book is a rare gem in the ever-growing plethora of "manifestation books." It is written with an unforgetable eloquence and insight which conveys that its author, F.W. Sears, really EXPERIENCED what he was writing about.

It deserves many readings until the reader has really grasped and FELT the truths contained. Sears himself suggests that the book many need to be read many times before its message is embodied by the reader.


"The third thing is to remember that this book only teaches how to grow a constructive and harmonious consciousness; you will have to do the work of applying its lessons. New habits are not formed in a day and the lessons which this book teaches will not be absorbed in one reading...
It is dependent on you alone as to how valuable this book becomes to you. The author has proven for himself everything he teaches. He knows that everything he says is true, and you can know it too but you will have to apply the lessons and prove them for yourself... You will note that the author does not quote any authorities for any of his statements. The highest authority any soul can possibly have is its own God-self and it is this God-self in you which the proper and persistent study and application of these lessons will bring out into greater expression, and thus enable you to set the new causes in motion which will bring you success along any line you may desire. "


It is a short book which can easily be read in an evening, and thereafter in bite-sized pieces just to keep its message fresh.

The book deals with the contrast between the "Law of Harmonious Attraction," which essentially is the law that binds the Universe together, and the man-made Law of Force which we see operating everywhere in our world today.

The only problem is that the Law of Force requires constantly renewed application of force to maintain whatever it brings, whereas the Law of Harmonious Attraction can operate effortlessly and eternally.



"While it is true that under the Law of Force we can and do manipulate people and things, just as the chickens run after and snatch the food from each other, and we can achieve temporary success and obtain large fortunes as long as we exert the stronger force, yet the time always comes somewhere down the line of our cosmic journey when some other life is able to manipulate the Law of Force in a stronger way than we and then our fortunes begin to crumble and melt away. Under the Law of Harmonious Attraction the manipulation of people and things belongs to God the great Universal Law and is a part of the work with which we have absolutely nothing to do. "



There are many fascinating insights in this book--such as the different levels of consciousness in human beings and how they operate; what happens to human consciousness after death; why people fail in maintaining a "success consciousness"---and how to correct this.



"An examination into the consciousness and habits of such persons [who do not "succeed" in harmonious attraction] showed that their work was done under more or less of a strain; that they were invariably anxious or tense, rarely ever relaxing, with the result that they generated an inharmonious energy, constructed an inharmonious wall around them in which they were enclosed like a shell; this prevented the things that they had created, and which stood just outside of this wall or shell, from entering their atmosphere and materializing in form. "


Although the principles in the book will be familiar to readers who have already gone through the many books on "Attraction," there is a rare depth, feeling, and authenticity in the way these principles are described and elucidated in this book.

I have read and greatly benefited from most of the current literature on manifestation and attraction---"Abraham," Vitale, Losier, Dyer and many others, but I think this book "says it all" with great eloquence and above all a practical simplicity which you can really apply and use.

Its message will reverberate with you every day and slowly, as its principles are applied, you just may see miracles manifest in your life.

I agree with the previous review. I have read other Law Of Attraction books and this stands out by far. Do not think that because it was written so long ago that its message cannot be understood by contemporary minds.. On the contrary, Mr. Sears does an EXCELLENT job of EXPANDING the same message many of you have seen in the movie, "The Secret". Buy this book and read it SEVERAL TIMES...let the wisdom sink deep into your subconscious and watch those vibes increase!
