Transcript excerpt from a YouTube interview (Vishen Lakhiani interviewing Marie Diamond) discussing a model of success composed of three roughly equal elements: environment (life force/feng shui), mind (mindset/focus), and spiritual connection (soul/connection to higher force). They relate this to the law of attraction and feng shui directions, arguing that environment, thoughts, and spiritual resonance jointly shape opportunities and intuition.

We're introducing you to a new model of reality. And that model of reality is that there is an energy force, a life force that flows through structures, buildings, the world, and it is responsible for 33% or so of your success. And as Marie was saying, how the life force relates to you has to do with what is called feng shui directions.
Yes.
Right. So we, based on our date of birth, we need to be aligned with this life force in a certain way. So just before we go to feng shui directions, I have two questions. The first is, you said 33% of our success is from the environment. 33% is our mind. What's the third 33%?
Well, it's your connection with your soul. It's your connection with spirit, with the higher force, the force of the universe.
I see.
And you can tap into that in many ways through meditation, through prayer. People, just by connecting with nature, can be tapping into that force that is bigger than you.
So you, Marie, were in that hit film the Secret, right? Which was about the law of attraction. And I think I've always considered that film fairly simplistic. I know many people here love it. But still, given what we know right now, 16, 10 years later, I know that film would probably be fairly simplistic. But what you seem to be saying is that it's not just a law of attraction. It's 33% environment, 33%, your mind, 33%, your connection. Right. How do do all of those add up to create this attraction factor in our lives?
Well, it's really based on the law of resonance. So when what we focus on says the law of attraction, that's what you're going to more likely receive in your life. So if you focus, you know, on connecting with the higher force, you will feel like the tire force is more supporting you in your life. You'll be directed, your intuition will work better, your high experiences will be stronger. And then when you're focusing on, with your mindset and your feelings towards, you know, attracting something or you're focusing on that, you'll be more likely to. To listen to when somebody talks about a situation. Or, you know, you'll be more open to have opportunities in your life. But the environment is also part of the law of attraction because whatever is around us is like it's affecting us 24 hours a day. We just don't seem to see the bridge between that chair and our body and the walls and our body, but we live in that space 24 hours a day.
And that's fascinating because I've never. I've never heard of that before. I've never studied that before. Yet, you know, it's been around for 4,000 years. The ancient Chinese have been talking about this for a really long time.
