1. This article discusses the apparent hole in current
law of attraction theories that cannot account for
common objects and situations that exist in our
environment. These are typically natural
manifestations that are independent of the human
mind. The biggest part of these being the plant,
animal, and mineral kingdoms. The concept of
shared reality is introduced in an effort to fill in the
gap. Shared realities are the merging of personal
realities to satify the mutual objectives of two or
more persons. This concept also addresses the
affect one person's reality has on another, as we
see in personal relationships.

2. Law of attraction practitioners or “attractionists” claim that our
own thoughts create the reality we experience  In other words, our
thoughts attract the objects and situations that come into our lives Â
Attractionists contend that we alone are responsible for our
happiness and discontent  The LOA ensures that all thoughts
manifest without exception  These manifestations of our mind are
conceived as thought forms  They become the things we perceive
through our five senses  Thought forms are established on another
level of reality  They proceed to interact with an infinite number of
possibilities  As we direct our attention toward specific possibilities,
thought forms become probabilities  In each moment, a probability
will materialize before us
3. Â The LOA facilitates this process in tandem with other universal
laws At some point, the attractionists must consider the fact that
traditional LOA theories do not adequately address the presence of
things existing outside of personal manifestation  The LOA cannot
account for natural manifestations such as animals, trees, rocks, and
the Earth itself  These things are available to everyone and exist
independently of our thoughts  While we may be able to observe
such objects in our environment, we cannot manufacture them with
our minds  For example, it is quite possible to visualize a trip to
Yellowstone National Park and have the forces of attraction bring
that about  It is not possible to create the Yellowstone National
Park  The Universal Mind has already created this beautiful
sanctuary for us  I believe this mystery can be solved by looking at
a theory known as “shared reality ” Shared realities form when
two personal realities join for a common purpose
4. Â Two or more like-minded people moving toward a certain future
probability will eventually experience the same reality  In doing so,
people mutually share common elements  For instance, people in
a dog park share the same space for the enjoyment of their pets Â
These are separate realities merging for a particular purpose
  That’s one aspect of shared reality  Allow me to expand on
this concept Shared reality has greater implications in the way one
person’s experience affects that of another  It becomes much
more complicated we enter into relationships  This Linux Hosting
happens in instances where two people get married, or a group of
friends starts a rock band  People come together for myriad
reasons
5.  Maybe you work at GE with hundreds of co-workers  Perhaps
you belong to the Masons  Because our survival depends on our
relationships, shared reality is a fact  People who form a
community establish what is known as “common reality ” The
global community is defined as a “universal reality ” These are
larger shared realities where members determine the meaning of
things  Members of a common reality contract to agree on all
aspects of their community  These arrangements include such
things as labels and descriptions  For example, a resolution would
be made as to what characteristics distinguish a cat from a dog Â
When an person breaches this contract by operating outside of
common reality, the harmony of the group is disrupted
6. Â A person bringing radical ideas to the community can disrupt the
rather delicate balance of the group By comprehending shared
realities, we are able to fill the void left by current LOA theories
 The shared reality theory accounts for the existence of things that
cannot be explained by the LOA Â Shared reality also explains the
dynamics between multiple personal realities including the common
reality  While these are theories and not practical applications of
the LOA, they serve to offer us a better understanding of a powerful
force I want to reassure LOA enthusiasts that this piece is not an
attack on their belief system  I’m merely pointing out a gap in this
philosophy  The law of attraction is a fundamental principle in
metaphysical thinking Article Tags:
