Is the Law of Attraction Working Against Your Financial Goals and Success?

John Assaraf (speaker) challenges a simplistic interpretation of the Law of Attraction (that mere thinking and believing alone will attract money). He reframes attraction as resonance and introduces the SEMP model — Spiritual, Emotional, Mental, Physical — as a four-part alignment needed to reliably attract financial abundance. Assaraf emphasizes that money is a social means-of-exchange and that physical actions (providing products/services) must align with spiritual, emotional, and mental coherence. The clip ends with a promotion for a live training (Money Squared: The Neuroscience of Financial Success) in San Diego.

Hey, this is John Assaraf. And is the law of Attraction working against you, achieving your financial goals and dreams? A lot of people who watched me and the other teachers in the movie the Secret, I think, simplified the law of attraction into thinking that all you've got to do is, you know, think about making more money, believe that, that you can achieve earning more money, and then more money is going to be attracted to you somehow through some mysterious process, almost as if, you know, thinking and believing is the only thing that's needed in order to make the money that you want to make. And I think a lot of people were set off on the wrong path to making the law of attraction work for them. And so let me give you a couple of things on how you can exponentially attract more money through understanding a little bit more about energy, a little bit more about the process of manifestation. So if you're ready, when we go to the fundamental fact that everything is energy, you are energy. The computer or cell phone you're watching me on is made up of two tiny little bits of photons, vibrating packets of energy. We call that quanta. But if it was just enough to, you know, to think and believe, you know, that money's going to be attracted to you, everybody would be rich, wouldn't they? They'd have beautiful houses, nice cars, they go on vacations everywhere, and there would be a financial abundance windfall for everybody. But why do most people who believe in the law of Attraction not end up being rich financially? And the answer is, it's a little bit more complex than the surface of what was covered in the movie. So let me give you a couple of things to think about and do. When we're dealing with money, you've got to remember, yes, money is just an idea. We used coins and chocolates and seashells and livestock, and we bartered and traded, you know, one thing for another, like bread for tea, teeth cleaning or working on a horse's hooves, you know, for something that somebody else needed in a small village or town. So going back in time to the beginning, you know, of when we even came up with this concept of money, money was created as a means of exchange between people. Money wasn't ever thought of as something that just popped into your lap or into your life just because you were meditating or visualizing, you know, or hoping and praying and wishing that more money, it's a means of exchange. However, there are some things to focus on. If money is energy, and let's call that the spiritual side of energy, and we Know that there is more than enough money for everybody. There's signs of money and, you know, in cash and coins and golds and buildings and real estate, in products and services that represent money. We know there's more than enough of it. The key to getting the Law of Attraction into motion is thinking of it slightly differently. And instead of thinking of the Law of Attraction as something that is attracted to you like a magnet, think of it as the law of resonance, something that when you become in resonance with, then there is more than enough. And so the question is, how do I become in resonance with more money? So, first and foremost, I want to teach you a model called SEMP S E M P. And it stands for spiritual, Emotional, Mental, and Physical. And since you're into the Law of Attraction, you probably believe that everything is energy and that there is a spiritual side to your being and. And a governance of this incredible, you know, universe and planets, et cetera. So let's assume that the spiritual intelligence is within you and within everybody else and in all things and all places at all times. It's omnipotent and omnipresent, right? And as I say this, my chimes are dinging. Maybe that's because that's the truth. Well, what if that's the beginning of the Law of Attraction? Get in resonance with abundance. Get in resonance with the genius part of yourself. Get in resonance with the people, the tools, the resources that are here right now that will help you achieve more income, more wealth. Part one, part two is the E part of SEB Emotions. What if you got emotionally connected to achieving the financial goals that you want to have? What if you picked a financial goal that you wanted to achieve, and then you started to feel as if that was already happening? Is it possible that by getting emotionally connected to that money, to that wealth, to that income, you're increasing the amplitude of the vibration of you, your hundred trillion cells, governed by your brain, which we'll get to in a minute. And is it possible that if you have a financial goal and you see yourself in your mind's eye and you feel yourself achieving that financial goal, that you can become in harmony in resonance with that income, that goal? Is it possible? Just think for just a moment. I'll wrap it all up in about three or four minutes. So the S is the abundance, the E is the emotion. Now let's get into mindset, your mental faculties. Earlier we mentioned, you know, think and believe. But what happens if you believe that it's possible, but you also believe that maybe you're Too young or too old, or maybe you believe you don't have the knowledge or the skills, or maybe you believe that, that it's easy for other people, but not for you. Or maybe you believe you don't have the education, or maybe you believe that you don't deserve it. Or maybe you believe that it's not the right timing if you have a positive desire, goal or vision and you have disempowering, limiting beliefs or a self image that doesn't really, really believe that you deserve it. What may be happening is that you are not in coherence or in harmony in your mind and in your heart. And that means that even though you may be sending out these signals, okay, for the abundance, the money, the income, the wealth that you want, if either at the neurological level, the heart level, or the gut level, you don't really, really, really believe, for whatever reason that you can achieve that goal or have that goal or have that lifestyle, then you are creating a chaotic vibration between your physical body, your emotions, your mindset. And in this field of intelligence, shall we call it. So, so far we've talked about spiritual, emotional, mental, and I've only touched scratched the surface of this, but now let's talk about the physical side of it. Do you remember earlier I suggested that we developed money as a means of exchange between people, companies, governments, etc. Well, if you want to have more money, the question now becomes, are you doing the right things in the right order in the physical world to be able to create this circle, this exchange mechanism where you are providing your products, your knowledge, your services to others in exchange for money? You see, when people aren't in total resonance spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically, physically, chances are that the law of attraction will not work for them. And since we are spiritual beings having a human experience and we have emotions and we are able to control our mental models and our mindset, we can control the fears that we have of failure or being disappointed or embarrassed or ashamed or ridiculed, because those are the things that hold us back from achieving, achieving our financial goals and life goals. The more you learn how to get in coherence, in harmony, the easier making more money becomes. And most people are never taught this advanced model called semp, so that they can earn more, have more, live more, give more, be more. And they keep thinking that the law of attraction is think, believe and you'll achieve. That's baloney. There are a variety of advanced methodologies that you can learn to get into total harmony, total coherence with earning two times, three times, four times, five times more income, having the wealth that allow you to have the financial freedom, the choice freedom to pursue the things that you really want to pursue in your life. What does it Travel more, build a nicer home, do something special for your parents or family or charities. Everybody has a different desire for what they want to do with money. But very few people have learned advanced Law of Attraction skills to have more than enough. And so if you want to learn more advanced skills plus a whole lot more around money, I invite you to check out my Money Squared event, the Neuroscience of Financial Success, where I teach people how to exponentially 2, 3, 4, 5x their incomes and revenue. Whether you have a business or you don't, I can help you achieve your financial goals and dreams and more importantly, the lifestyle that you envision. There's information on this page.
