The Law of Attraction

Either way, the Law of Attraction is some times erroneously associated as a recent development when in fact this principle has been around for millennia. In the March 29, 2007, USA TODAY article Secret history of 'The Secret' An old-time self-help religion gets new face, former Touched by an Angel star, and minister of the Understanding Principles of Better Living church in Los Angeles, Della Reese Lett is quoted saying, "Child, The Secret hasn't been a secret since the times of Moses, if not before. But every generation needs a new way to look at things that have been around a while. I suppose right now The Secret is it."

Truth is the concept of the Law of Attraction is in documents thousands of years old. One such document is the Emerald Tablet, predating both Corpus Hermeticum and Christian religion literature. Neither the origin, nor the actual age is known. Numerous translations in different languages have survived, even though the original green stone artifact was buried around 400 AD supposedly in the Giza plateau region to protect it from religious zealots destroying anything disagreeing with their beliefs. In addition to alchemy, the prophetic wisdom contained in the hidden meaning for transforming reality is actually about the unity of divinity between Spirit, soul, and corporeal body. The profound spiritual principles guide people through steps of personal physical, mental, and spiritual transformation to achieve higher states of self-consciousness. Moreover, before 1300 BC Moses may have used the Emerald Tablet to influence Pharaoh Akhenaten to monotheism worship. Around this period other near-Eastern hymnology writings have strong similarities between Akhenaten’s Great Hymn to the Aten and the Biblical Psalm 104. Unfortunately, most of the evidence from this era was destroyed. Rhonda Byrne, creator of The Secret, uses the Emerald Tablet as one of the historical supports for her work.
