In a previous post, I offered the first part of a response to a friend who asked how specific he should be when creating a vision board for attracting a potential mate. The following is the second part of my response:
Now, with all that said, if what you really want is a relationship with a specific person, then post that person’s picture on your board and don’t think about anyone else. Make copies of that picture and your own and put them on top of those “happy couples” you found so that you can see the two of you together! Be a kid again and pretend the two of you are already a couple! Imagine you are both lying on a blanket under the stars and that there’s no place that either of you would rather be! While you are imaging this, FEEL the FEELINGS just like you were there in that moment! It’s the desire coupled with the emotional intensity that really speeds up the manifestation. So, desire it, feel it, believe it, and you will see it!
Should you decide you want to take the route of building a relationship with a specific person, you should be aware that this approach can be more difficult to bring to the point of the manifestation. That’s not because it’s “harder” than the other but only because of the fact that we, in physical form, have a hard time waiting for the results of our desires. When we desire a relationship with a person that is already in our experience, we often have difficulty feeling the feelings for any length of time while receiving nothing in return. The frequent result is that we give up on it before it has time to manifest.

Hi Clyde,
As much as I enjoy reading your blog, I see this particular post uncomfortable for me for the following reasons:
1. The Universe will provide what is best to match our desires in the quickest and easiest way.
2. If we focus on a specific person, who has their own desires and wants seperate from our own, then we hindering the Universe’s ability to provide the true desire of warmth, love and companionship. By desiring warmth, love and companionship, then the universe is free to match us up w/ the best and most appropriate person to meet that desire.
3. As a student of metaphysics, we learn that imposing our WILL or desires upon another person is a “no-no”. Yes, it can be done, but this crossing the line into what the occult world refers to as Black Magic. Something I suggest to be avoided for karmic reasons.
As nice as it is to want someone and however we believe that we want some one specific, I have always had better “luck” with writing out the description of the TYPE of person I want than the specific person.
Just my thoughts on this subject.

Hi Dean,
I just noticed that your comment above had been marked as spam and I just approved it for view. My intention for this blog is to create open communication about LOA and, as such, I don’t want to censor the comments so please don’t think that was why it didn’t show up.
I have been following your blog for a while now and appreciate your thoughts. I know we all have different paths and as a result each of us brings something different to the table.
Thank you for your comments and please accept my apologies for not catching this sooner.

Hi there,
I liked your blog.
I just wanted to say that I think all the free will arguments are overrated.
No one really has free will.
We all have to breathe to live, live until we die, and eat food to survive. Nothing changes that.
With that said, all we have our choices in resonse to things that happen to us.
We are constantly influenced by people and outside circumstances.
For example, I don’t choose who I love. I don’t choose who I am attracted to. It just happens.
When my heart is broken, and I am grief-stricken, I don’t magically choose to not feel those feelings, and fall out of love.
I don’t choose what I look like, what family I’m born into, how much wealth I inherit.
So, that is why I think the free will argument for influencing a specific person to fall in love with you via the law of attraction or love spells is over-rated.

Amanda,
Hello! Your post makes you sound as if you are deeply confused about LOA. I HIGHLY recommend that you read “Ask & It is Given” by Esther & Jerry Hicks. These 2 are the trailblazers of the last 20 years with LOA. PLus, check out their website abraham-hicks.com You will not be disappointed. What you said about free will is, in my opinion, off base. You CAN be, do or have anything-no exceptions. Nothing, including your place here in this reality, is an accident.
Please read their book & visit their website.
Peace,
Jodie

I have read pretty much all of the main LOA books out there. There is no doubt that this stuff works – but I think many of us have a lot of junk on the inside, ie. our subconscious which prevent us from truly having “unwavering faith” that a desired result will come true. We really have to take a look at our mental programming.

I have a question if anyone can shed some light. Going on about 4 months ago I was watchinh TV and this guys pops up! My heart flutterd and I felt pure joy, not lust or anything like that but butterflies times the 10th power.! This has never happened to me. So I didn’t think anything of it and the peroson kept popping up in my sight. To make a long story short I feel a connection with this person and I don’t even know him but something is telling me that this man is going to be my Husband. My inner being is so happy when I think and see him. When my boyfriend and I broke up he stood me up outside in the cold so I went into a borders across the street to stay warm. I started balling feeling neglecting. I dropped my phone picked up and then I looked up and there this person is on the cover of a new magazine stairring directly at me . Mind you this person is not very popular. And I hardly ever go into that store. So my question is because the signs are showing me that this is the guy. It makes me want to meet him even more. So what should I do continue to write and dream about meeting him or just let it be? Cause I would love for this to be true? Please help! Thanks and please be honest. Peace and blessings! Ne Steele.
