Law of Attraction

I've heard about the Law of Attraction quite a bit. The puppy's a huge fan of it too - so much so that he's got a Wall of Desire where he pins up things that he wants so that by looking at them and reminding himself how much he wants to have them, he will attract them.

But what is the Law of Attraction?

The Law of Attraction claims to have roots in Quantum Physics, although this is dismissed by the scientific community as pseudoscience. According to proponents of this law, thoughts have an energy which attracts whatever it is the person is thinking of. In order to control this energy to one's advantage, proponents state that people must practice four things:

1. Know exactly what you want.
2. Ask the universe for it.
3. Feel, behave and know as if the object of your desire is already yours (visualize).
4. Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome.

Thinking of what one does not have, they say, manifests itself in not having, while if one abides by these principles, and avoids "negative" thoughts, the universe will manifest a person's desires.

It makes me wonder now, if it’s true. As it said, thoughts have an energy to attract whatever that person is thinking of – so that means what I’ve wanted for years, might have already come true seeing that I’m attracting them over.

But there have been a few things that I have been obsessed with over the past few years. This is one of the major obsessions that I’ve been obsessed with. Deeply influenced by a drama series – Kamisama, mou sukoshi dake, I was in love with the lead male character Ishikawa Keigo, a composer.

He had the passion for music and fuelled by dark gloomy past, writes best when emotions kick in hard. He was intense and insanely creative as well as randomly unpredictable but yet an utterly sensitive soul. He had a chiselled facial bone structure with the occasional scruffy messy look (especially when creativity jumps on him) and dark features (thick brows and a mane of hair with that blonde tinge on his bangs).

Kanou Masaki + Ishikawa Keigo

Of course having that character played by Kaneshiro Takeshi helped the influence even more.

It was a Pretty Woman-ish kind of show. Very fairytale. Young eager, number 1 fan meets celebrity composer and they both fall in love and beat all odds.

The more I watched the show, the more I wanted someone like Keigo. The more I believed that I would meet someone like him and fall madly in love. The more I longed for a romance and a relationship with Keigo.

So let’s see if any of these fit into the four things that I’m supposed to practise if I want to attract Keigo to me...

1. Know exactly what you want

To tell you the truth, I don’t think I know exactly what I want – well at least not on a conscious level but from what you’ve read so far I’m sure you know that I want someone like him.

2. Ask the universe for it

How do you even start? It’s like asking God for a favor and let’s face it, omnipresent as he is, he’s got like a million of people asking him for things, wanting an Ishikawa Keigo will definitely not be on the top of his list, let alone the universe. Who am I to ask the universe for something like that?

Besides, how do you address the universe as an entity/one?

3. Feel and behave as know as if the object of your desire is already yours (visualize)

Trust me. I have done that a gajillion times. I don’t need to go into details here.

4. Be open to receive and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome.

This part I don’t really get. Of course I’d be open to receive what I’ve been dreaming of. It’s the whole letting go the attachment to the outcome which I don’t get.

Anyhoo, I am beginning to think that maybe this Law of Attraction really works on a subconscious level. It doesn’t have to be on a tangible physical level like on a “Wall of Desire” kinda thing but just on a psychological level – just in your head and your heart.

Having being obsessed about wanting to be with Ishikawa Keigo for years, I think I might have found mine.

The more I think about it the more I have been bothered by the thought that the puppy IS my Ishikawa Keigo.

He’s a music composer and an aspiring producer. He is very much fuelled by his passion and seriously writes the best stuff when he’s depressed (which explains Rebirth and Teardrops). He’s got his mood swings and can get very sensitive like every other artist. He’s randomly unpredictable as hell. He’s got his messy scruffy look most of the time since he’s working most of the time. He’s got a nice thick mane (makes me jealous) and since we’ve been together, he’s gotten a tinge of blonde bleached onto his bangs.

It’s weird isn’t it... that they’re quite similar and yet I had nothing to do with it physically.

Did I really attract him to me by wanting someone like that so badly then?

p/s : I’m just saying they look similar. Please do not tell me “Oh my god they don’t even look alike at all!!! How can do you say this!” or something similar to that effect.

Which also reminds me... this looks like a chubby version of my puppy :P
