Magnetism and Imagination. These two gifts are to be used for enlightenment.
The "Law of Attraction" was called "Magnetism" when first introduced to the west by the Chicago Yoga Publication Society in the early 1900's . I prefer the term "Magnetism" than "Law of Attraction" as it is terse and more descriptive.
The sum of Magnetism is Love. Love draws our attention. Focused attention effortlessly rests upon what it loves. Focused attention attracts the object of attention. Love for the world attracts material objects. Love for the Supreme attracts the Supreme.
Love is controlled by the will. "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart...soul...mind, and... strength" is Jesus' First Commandment. Use the Magnet of Love to attract the Supreme; all things will be provided.
The Supreme's presence in one's conscious mind is Enlightenment. Taking up the process of Bhakti Yoga leads to Enlightenment. Bhakti Yoga may be practiced by devoted repetition of the Holy Name. The Holy Name is manifold. The Supreme has thousands of thousands of Names.
The Supreme's names' potency are variant to some extent in relation to time and space. In an ISKON Krishna Temple for example. Using the Mahamantra "HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE" will be very effective. But if you visit an old church, for example, a Basilica or the Vatican itself, the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, or, JESUS CHRIST will release a flow of Grace. The mantra suggested in a Bhuddist temple similarly will have the most potency for that place.
Similarly particular mantras will be more effective at varying times. For example I am writing this during the last triad of Navitri. Now "OM AIM SARASWATIYAI NAMAHA" is powerfully invoking the Divine Feminine as Intelligence, Truth and Beauty. During the earlier triads, other mantras powerfully invoked other aspects of the Triune Goddess.
One's time and space relative to the sun, moon, and stars is to be considered in one's practice toward Self - Realization, God - Realization, or, Enlightenment. When getting started it is best to follow the instruction of one familiar with the Time Shaktis. When the most potent mantra or Holy Name is determined for the time and place, then one can begin to love the Supreme by putting one's attention on the sound of the sacred syllables.
Attention is love. Focused attention upon a person is a form of love. One senses another's attention. A lover always gives the beloved uninterrupted attention. Uninterrupted and focused attention set upon the potent name of an aspect of the Supreme verily attracts that quality of the Divine.
Love is the magnet. Love attracts the Divine. The Divine attracts Love. Divine revelation is Love unveiling Itself. Love unveiling Itself is entrancing.
The Divine comes into the mind and heart of the devotee through the devotee's own soul as Supernal Light. The Supreme attracted by love comes as formless light or a Deva or Devi. Let the Light fill the body from the single eye. Surrender the imagination to the in-flowing Light.
Receiving the Light of the Supreme with a still mind and a surrendered imagination is conducive to visions. Visualizations are impositions of the ego's will upon the imagination. Visions are revelations of the Supreme via a surrendered imagination.
I am given to serving aspiring humanity to find enlightenment in one's innermost consciousness. Enlightenment is the normal human condition unknown to most.
