Question:  Hello, I asked a question a few months ago so I hope you don't mind me asking you again.  I'm sure that's not a rule.  Can I manifest things without visualization ? I know its been said that visualization is one of the most important parts of using the Law of Attraction, however I feel that belief, belief that you are going to get what you are trying to get, is much more important that visualization, but I need an expert on LOA to really tell me is this possible to do.  For example, I want something major to come into my life using the Law of Attraction, such as a great job but I have no clue what kind of job I want.  So I just think of it as simply getting a great job without too much or any visualization and mainly just a very strong belief that I will get it, will I still get it ? Could the Law of Attraction work that way ?

Thanks.
Ryan from Canada

Jack's Answer: Hi Ryan, Yes of course you are very welcome to write in as often as you like.  Its always great to hear from you. As I said to you in answer to your previous question, if you really, deep down inside, on all levels, expect it to happen it will happen for you. However you must be absolutely clear in your mind exactly what "it" is that you want. Visualisation is a very powerful way of working out all the details of exactly what you want. Just having some vague idea of what a "great job" means isn't good enough.  In Law of Attraction speak, when we talk about visualisation we mean much more than just seeing pictures in our heads. Its about hearing the sounds, smelling the smells and felling the feelings too. Some people can form the pictures easily but find it hard to smell the smells, others may find the hearing or the smelling or the feeling easier to call to mind than the pictures. In life coaching we have special terms for these different types of people but I don't want to bog you down with all that here. All that matters is that you try to form a mental idea of the job you want, in as much detail as possible, using whichever method or combination of methods work best for you.

In some ways the pictures are the easiest part of visualisation because we can use physical images to help us.  It always amuses me when the bible goes on about the Gentiles worshipping graven images.  Of course they did not worship graven images. What utter nonsense.  No religion or civilisation in the history of the world has ever worshipped graven images. What they were doing was using images, carvings, statues to help them visualise their deities. Christians, especially Catholics, do the same thing today. Go into any Catholic's home and what do you see? Lots of statuettes of saints, the virgin Mary and the baby Jesus. Graven images. And this is exactly what I want you to do Ryan. If you are good at painting, photography, carving, pottery or any other art or craft, make up some images of you, working in the job you want, living the life you want, and surround yourself with those images all day long. Put them in your living room, in your bedroom, in your toilet, in your car, everywhere!

Its a good idea to have a scrap book. Get lots of magazines and cut out pictures of people living and working as you want to live and work, paste them into your scrapbook, then paste a picture of your head over the head of the main player in each picture. On the cover write "The scrapbook of my life, right now" and spend at least half an hour each day working at it and looking through it.

Of course before you can do any of this you must know what a "great job" means to you. You must have some idea in your mind.  Are you trained / qualified in any particular trade or profession? What is your current job or previous job? What are your interests? Ask yourself "why do I want a great job?" Is it for the enjoyment, for the money, for the recognition?  What?   You need to spend lots of time brainstorming, possibly with the help of a friend or a life coach,  to find the answers to these questions. You will also get ideas when looking through the magazines.  Certain pictures will jump out at you and you will think "yes, that's what I want to be like".

Visualisation (in the broadest sense) also has another purpose. In some of my articles I liken the subconscious mind to a onboard computer on an aircraft. The 'plane cannot take you to your destination unless the pilot or navigator first tells the onboard computer where to go. Let's broaden the analogy. The pilot or navigator only has to enter coordinates but somebody had to program that computer.  Computers don't understand plain English so he had to use a programming language such as COBOL, FORTRAN or C ++. Well our subconscious minds don't understand plain English either so think of visualisation as your subconscious mind's programming language.

Actually we need to broaden the analogy even further. In computing, a high-level programming language is one which is more like plain English and less like raw machine code, where as a low-level programming language is much more like raw machine code.  So think as visualisation as a high level language. In the analogy the low level language would be emotion. The visualisation (with the aid of your scrapbook) helps you to really feel the feelings and it is our feelings that really instruct our subconscious minds. You can use plain English too but don't expect your words to speak directly to your subconscious (or to the Universal Mind). Use words as a means of focusing your conscious mind and working up your feelings.  Try repeating a mantra or affirmation as you look through your scrapbook.  If you like you can chant it, over and over again, maybe while rocking gently back and forth, to really get your emotions going.

Give it a try Ryan and let me know how you get on.

To your success and happiness!

Question:  Hi Jack, I have recently been introduced to the law of attraction and I'm a big believer, just not experienced enough at putting it to use. When I discovered I was pregnant I was really excited and happy, and it started off well but I have been so scared of things going wrong or losing my baby that the doubts and and fears have now brought problems. I am half way through my pregnancy and doctors have discovered a possible chromosome abnormality and although they've not proved anything yet, have painted an unpromising outcome. The law of attraction says whatever you expect or believe, can and will happen, and that miracles do happen. So I know that if I have faith my baby will stand a good chance of life and have a future. I was wondering how do you get rid of your fears and what techniques can build the faith?

Thank you
Lynne

Jack's Answer: Hi Lynne, yes the law of attraction does say that whatever we expect can and will happen, and yes, what we think of as 'miracles' do happen, all the time. It all hinges around what we really do expect, deep down inside. In part, my advice to you is the same as I gave to Elaine in the question below.  You need to find out what you really do believe and expect to happen, and you also need to find out what you really do want to happen, deep down inside yourself.  You also need to find out what your husband really believes, expects and wants because having a baby and caring for him or her for the next two decades is a partnership activity. So please do read my answer to Elaine below. Indeed if you read all my answers and also all my articles, you will get a pretty good idea of how this all works and the techniques to use.

We expect what we have been conditioned (brainwashed) to expect by the media, our friends and family and the people we meet. In my articles I set out excellent techniques to re-condition (re-brainwash) your expectations. But the very first thing is to get absolutely clear in your own minds about what it is you and your husband really do want, and any negative ideas that may be blocking you. I can't stress this enough. As I said to Elaine, there may well be something in there somewhere that is blocking you, some idea, some attitude, some fear, some belief, something. The important thing is to get them all out into the open and then  set about re-conditioning (re-brainwashing) your mind through affirmations, subliminal messages, creative visualisation and other similar techniques.

Your situation is a bit different from Elaine's.  You are already pregnant while she is still trying to conceive.  However I urge both of you, and anyone else how is trying to have a baby, to read my article on The Law of Attraction and Sustainable Living. But surly any healthy, solvent couple should have no hang-ups about having one child, even on this overpopulated planet.

I wish you well,
Jack

Question:  Hi Jack, I have read the Secret and whilst I do believe in the Law of Attraction (maybe I am not applying it right), I am not attracting the one thing I want more than anything in the world, a baby. My husband and I have been married almost one year and have been trying for 4 years plus. We have recently undergone IVF treatment which was unsuccessful. Only found out this week. I am trying to apply the law of attraction to this visualising me being pregnant, the morning sickness etc. I would appreciate any advice in how to apply this theory.

Thank you so much,
Elaine

Jack's Answer: Hi Elaine.  In order to attract anything into your life you must both want it and expect it to happen.  But we are very complicated beings.  We must be absolutely clear about what we want on all levels. There is what we really want and what we want to want and they are not always the same thing. Ask yourself "do I really want this baby?"  Ask your husband "do you really want a baby" NOT "you really do want a baby don't you?" because that is a very different question.  You want to find out what he really wants, deep down inside his own mind. Consider whether you both really do want a baby or whether its something you believe you should want because everybody else does. Or are you under pressure from your parents, or from your husband's parents? 

If after really soul searching you both decide that you do want a baby, consider all the negative things that could be going on in your minds about this issue at the same time.  Maybe deep down inside you realise that there are enough human beings on Planet Earth already, all contributing to pollution, environmental degradation and climate change. Maybe you are feeling guilty about being selfish but surly any healthy, solvent couple should have no hang-ups about having one child, even on this overpopulated planet. Or maybe you are fearful of how you will support this child financially for the next couple of decades.  Its a huge commitment.  What about school and all those insufferable teachers you will have to do battle with, all believing that they know what's best for your child better than you do.  And all those interfering social workers. Or maybe you are more worried than you want to admit to about the physical discomforts of pregnancy and delivery.  You have already mentioned morning sickness. 

These are just some of my ideas. You may have many different ideas I have not thought of.  Its important to dig and probe as deeply as you can.  There must be something in there somewhere that is blocking you, some idea, some attitude, some fear, some belief, something. The important thing is to get them out into the open. Talk all this over with your husband Elaine, then if you are both completely clear in your minds that you still want to proceed, start using the many techniques I describe in this website to change your expectations.  Remember we attract the things we expect to happen, not just what we hope for.

Let me know how you get on,
Jack

Question:  Hi there Jack, I'm still rather young; 20, but have been studying law of attraction since I was 14. I get high and low points like most people, but I think my main problem is deciding what I really want. I have so many ambitions and some of them seem to clash and I don't know how to choose between them. The only one thing I know I want without doubt is a lot of money, but even that I'm struggling to visualise because I can't visualise spending it because of all the different ambitions. What advice can you give me when it comes to deciding what I want and visualising money.

Kind regards
Rosie

Jack's Answer: Hi Rose.  I am glad you asked this question because it has been a challenge for me too.  This question is really too big to answer here.  Its all hinges on determining your Live Values and Life Purpose.  This is something I do with my clients. Give me a week or two and I will write a special article for you to look at this fascinating subject in depth and give you some practical techniques.

To your success and happiness!

Question:  Hi Jack, I can't seem to really find the answer that I'm looking for so I'm glad I found your site.  My question is this: does the law of attraction work in EXTREMES? Examples being could I get billions of dollars in a few weeks, or could I change my face ? That's what I mean by extremes.  Now before you answer there is just something you need to know and that is sometimes I feel so confident and good I feel like I really could go to good extremes with the law of attraction and some say there is no limit, so tell me what you think. 

Thanks.
Ryan

Jack's Answer: All I can give you here is my personal opinion Ryan.  I believe, because I have seen it in my own life and that of my clients over and over again, over many years, that the Law of Attraction brings us the things we expect to happen. So yes, if you really expect to receive billions of dollars, pounds or euros, so it will be for you. Same with the new face, if you really, deep down inside, on all levels, expect it to happen it will happen. Some people say you have to believe but I have found that you need to go one step further than belief, you must expect. For most people that is the hard part.  Little things are easier to expect, big things take a giant leap of faith. The only limitation is our own expectations. I will be very interested to see how this works out for you, please do keep in touch.

To your success and happiness!

Question:  Hello Jack, I would like to regenerate my teeth which have been crumbling and falling out and now I'm quite worried I will lose all of them as a dentist said they were decayed and need to come out. Do you think this is possible to reverse as I'm afraid to chew lest they break some more which just generates more fear! Any suggestions appreciated and thanks for this service.

Sincerely,
Monique

Jack's Answer: In theory Monique, yes.  As I said to Ryan (last question) the only limitation is our own expectations. To quote from Richard Bach in Jonathan Livingston Seagull, "If you can break the chain of your thoughts you can break the chain of your body".  Others have healed cancer and other serious illnesses this way.  If Morris Goodman "The Miracle Man" could rebuild his smashed body, then why not your teeth?  The trick is to make yourself expect it to happen and this website is full of tools and techniques for doing just that.

To your success and happiness!

Question:  Hi Jack im very fond of your work i have so many problems in life at the moment that i dont know from where to start i have lost my job and its been many months inspite of all the efforts i cant find any and now im so disappointed that i feel suicidale im 38 and stil single i attract all the rubbish guys i hate to go out with.
could you please guide me how do i attract a good job,as it is difficult to think positive and be relax when you are loaded with debts and passing your days on credit cards.? also i,d like to attract a loving and caring partner but is it possible to wish for both at the same time and what steps do i need to take to find both,in my situation my priority is still a job.
many thanks for your time
nad

Jack's Answer: Hello Nad.  I hope you don't mind but I have included your email here just as you sent it to me in order to illustrate an important point.  The Law of Attraction is not just wishful thinking, you have to be clear in your own mind about what you want, and then work hard to make it happen.  To quote from Bill Harris, "Whatever you want there is a specific way of thinking and acting that will get it for you.  Your job it to discover what it is and be flexible enough to adopt it".  To get the things you want you must begin by acting as if you already have them.  Everything you need to know about the Law of Attraction is already on this website so I am going to give you some practical advice instead.

I am sorry Nad but people who have good jobs, lots of cash and intelligent, attractive partners don't send out emails like this.  They proof read them first, make sure they will make sense to the recipient, run them through a spell checker, make sure they have the correct mix of lower and upper case letters in the right places, with spaces after each comma.  Whether they are writing to a prospective employer, a person they are contacting through a dating agency or to a Law of Attraction coach, they make their emails the best that they can possibly be. In order to be successful, everything you do in life must always be the very best that you can do.

My next piece of very practical advice is cut up those credit cards.  You have said that you are already in financial difficulties for why make things harder for yourself by giving what little money you have away to the credit card companies in interest.  What are you paying? 20% ay year? 25% a year?  Unless you can pay your cards off in full at the end of each month, why give yourself a 20% or 25% pay cut (or in your case, benefit cut)? Go without until you are out of debt, then you can begin to sort yourself out.

My third piece of advice is to join a meditation group.  You really need to clear your mind of all the clutter.  Then you can start to combine your Law of Attraction work with your meditation and begin really turning your life around.  You can do it Nad, you know you can and I am here to help.  So do write in whenever you need to.

Let me know how you get on,
Jack
