1. Secrets to the Law of Attraction –
Ecourse Workbook
from "Thought Vibration" - William Walker Atkinson - 1906
Lesson 16
"The Universe is governed by Law - one great Law. Its manifestations are
multiform, but viewed from the Ultimate there is but one Law. We are familiar
with some of its manifestations, but are almost totally ignorant of certain
others. Still we are learning a little more every day - the veil is being gradually
lifted."

Secrets to the Law of Attraction
AS FEATURED in the underground hit movie, "The Secret", the Law of
Attraction has quickly become a working tool in the everyone's survival kit.
You may not be aware of all the secrets that have been written through the ages
about this Law.
The Law of Attraction Classics series is composed from carefully selected
bestselling authors who define and add to the theory and practice in using the
Law of Attraction.
The idea and purpose behind this series is to make these classics again available so that you can study
and understand the principles at work in this Universe.
This single volume was produced from excerpts out of this series for your immediate use.
You can change your life using the Law of Attraction - but you have to know how to use it to do so...
Law of Attraction: Thought Vibration
First in the Law of Attraction Classics series, this is the first in several
books describing and detailing the Law of Attraction - the central point behind
the underground hit "The Secret".
William Walker Atkinson was a key author and editor behind the popular New
Thought Movement during the late 1800's well through the 1930's.
Three of his classics are included in this single volume,
•Thought Vibration
•Practical Mental Influence
•The Secret of Success
Each of these gives more detail to how the Law of Attraction is used. He says, "We speak
learnedly of the Law of Gravitation, but ignore that equally wonderful manifestation, THE LAW OF
ATTRACTION IN THE THOUGHT WORLD." And goes on to give in short chapters exactly how to
apply this Law to your life.
