We know for a fact that Donald Trump is a hardcore Law of Attraction fan. 

He loves Norman Vincent Peale's LOA classic, The Power of Positive Thinking. Peale, who died in 1993 and was a Christian minister, even officiated Trump's first wedding to Ivana. 

Trump wrote several books together with another well-known LOA disciple, Robert Kiyosaki of Rich Dad, Poor Dad fame.

If you know anything about the Law of Attraction, you realize why it is that Trump surrounds himself with gold wherever he goes. 

He doesn't talk much about the why, but his friend Kiyosaki is much more outspoken about it. In a June 2017 interview with Kitco News, he said that he uses gold to boost his net worth:

“If I want $10,000 a month, I hold $10,000 in gold; gold is an attractor and people need to understand that if you buy more gold, your income goes up.”

He also said that besides being real money, he views gold as something spiritual.

I'd bet you anything that for the same reason, Trump Tower looks like Aladdin's cave of riches.

That's also why Trump would call the Democrats winning the House in the midterm election a "big success."

The Law of Attraction teaches to always speak positively and pretend what you want to happen is already here.

That's what Trump is doing. By reframing every setback as a success and every challenge as a slam dunk win, he not only makes his followers feel good—he is actually, physically changing things through manifestation. 

Whatever you think of Trump, he is a master of the Law of Attraction... and we can all learn a lot from him.

My second-most viewed post on Quora, so I'm posting it here too. As you may know if you've read my "About" page, I'm a lifelong paranormal experiencer, so this is just one of many such stories.

​Here we go...

I worked at a Native American jewelry store in Sedona, AZ. The owners had two stores, a big one that was usually manned by two to three employees, and a small one across the street that one person could man.

No one liked to work in the small store, because it could get pretty lonely, especially off the tourist season when there was little traffic in the store.

We were encouraged to keep looking busy, by rearranging jewelry or cleaning the many glass cases with Windex.

So one day, I was in the process of cleaning the cases when I looked up, and on the other side of the store, about ten feet away from me, saw a Native American man dressed in jeans and a blue winter parka peering down into one of the cases.

He stood with his back to me, so I couldn’t see his face. He looked like a normal person, completely opaque and three-dimensional.

I said hi and wondered how he had gotten into the store without me noticing. The door was closed, and there was a bell when someone opened it—but I figured I’d just spaced and missed it.

I looked back at the glass case I was cleaning, and back up… and he was gone. Within the span of a second. There was no way he could have walked out in that time.

I walked around the cases to the other side of the room, and the spot where he had stood was ice cold. I could actually see my breath, even though the rest of the store was room temperature.

I saw him again, three weeks later. Same thing: he stood with his back to me and peered into the same glass case. Maybe it held jewelry that he had made when he was alive, who knows.

It wasn’t very scary, which I’m grateful for. I’ve had many very scary supernatural encounters, but this was thankfully not one of them.

However, it makes me wonder how many people we pass on the street or in stores who might not actually be real people…

Here's how you can prove to yourself that manifestation is real, i.e., that you can really influence matter with the power of your mind.

I suggest for starters the Cloud Evaporation Technique. Supposedly, Native Americans used to teach this to their kids when they were young. I taught it to my own son. It’s not hard to do.
​

1. Wait for a day when the weather is good and you have blue skies with only a few clouds here and there and not much wind.
2. Go outside and lie down on your lawn or anywhere you won’t get run over by a car or trampled by a grazing cow.
3. Pick a cloud and focus intently on it. You will evaporate this cloud. Start with a small one to make it easier on you.
4. Stare at the cloud without blinking. Let your eyes get blurry, but don’t take them off the cloud. Intend for the cloud to shrink and disappear.
5. After a few minutes, the cloud should become smaller. You might even have the experience that it vanishes from your view altogether as you blur your vision. It’s almost as if you can see the blue sky BEHIND where the cloud used to be.
6. Keep going until the cloud is gone completely. To check that YOU actually did this, see if the other clouds surrounding “yours” are still there.
7. Repeat with another cloud.

You’ll see that ONLY the cloud you focus on will shrink and disappear. All the other clouds should still be there.

It’s a pretty nifty technique and still fills me with awe and wonder when I practice it.

You can also practice what I call the “Goodwill Manifestation.” It’s a technique that can have stunning results… and unlike other manifestation techniques, it works almost instantaneous.

What you do is basically send blessings to yourself and others. That may sound kind of drab, but it’s anything but.

It’s actually the most incredible LOA technique I know of. It works purely on love and kindness, and it asks for nothing.

That’s why it’s also great for religious people who fear that using the Law of Attraction might be something like witchcraft or magic.

How does it work if it asks for nothing?

Well, here’s where the miracle starts. You visualize yourself and other people involved in the situation and you wish them well. That’s really all there is to it. But the effects will absolutely blow your mind.

For all the details and the exact 3 steps of this manifestation technique, get my free report.

I’ve had tons of “synchronicities” happen to me in my life. I consider them direct and personal signs from Spirit.

The more you look for them and pay attention, the more of those signs you will get. Try it for yourself. It's enormously soothing to feel that someone is looking out for you at all times.

This is one of my favorite (true) stories.

In 1999, I had just moved to Sedona, AZ, the movie American Beauty with Kevin Spacey came out, and I saw it in the theater there.

I really liked it, and my favorite scene was when Ricky Fitts, the soulful teenage boy and avid videographer, shows neighbor girl Jane a video he made of a grocery plastic bag bouncing up and down and swaying in the wind for minutes on end.

As they’re watching the strangely beautiful dance, Ricky says:

“It was one of those days when it’s a minute away from snowing. And there’s this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it, right? And this bag was just… dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That’s the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid. Ever.”

Here’s the video.

Fast forward about a year and a half. I was working as a professional Tarot reader in Sedona and life was tough but exciting. I was dirt poor and often had trouble making the rent at the center and at home, which was quite anxiety inducing, to say the least.

It had helped me master the art of “going with the flow,” though. Part of it was that I had learned to follow random, seemingly silly hunches and just do whatever I felt prompted to do. And if I did, there’d always be a reason, like I would run into someone I needed to meet, for example.

One slow business day at the New Age center, around 10 AM, my fellow readers and I were pretty much just hanging out.

I was considering going to the hair dresser, but suddenly this thought popped into my head that I should drive down to the Oak Creek Brewery, one of the favorite local hangouts.

However, at this time of day the brewery was closed, so I wondered what the heck this was all about, but I went anyway.

My intuition told me to park in the parking lot and get out of the car. I did, and nothing happened.

I’m like, “Okay, now what?”

All of a sudden, there was a warm gust of wind, and a discarded brown plastic grocery bag lifted up off the ground and started dancing.

It bounced up and down, swayed from side to side, sometimes dropping to the ground and then rising up again.

Just like a little kid inviting me to play.

It was stunningly beautiful and went on for about ten minutes. I cried as I watched the plain brown bag dance in the wind, remembering the lines from the movie.

It was like Spirit was telling me that life was beautiful and there was nothing to be afraid of. Ever.

The word “want” implies that you don’t have what you desire. You’re basically telling the Universe/Creator that you’re in a state of lack and discontent.

The right attitude for successful manifestation is to know that what you want is already here and it simply needs to manifest in your 3D reality… and to feel joyful and grateful about receiving it.

Many people ask me how to do this—convincing yourself that what you want is already here.

Here’s how I personally do it. I’ll show you two different ways.

1. Believe in parallel realities.

I’ve had some first-hand experiences with (and read hundreds of accounts about) “dimension shifts” and “glitches in the Matrix.”

So I’m convinced that the multiverse theory—or a version of it—is correct.

In a nutshell, for every choice you make, a new parallel reality splits off that is populated with a version of yourself who lives that parallel life. There are potentially millions of “yous” out there… some of them have only marginally different lives; others have vastly different ones.

​That’s where the so-called “Mandela Effect” comes from.

Check out the sub-reddit “Glitch in the Matrix” if you’re interested.

Since the talk about dimension shifts has been trending, another trend has popped up: dimension jumping.

This is where people consciously pick a parallel reality that suits them better than their current one and attempt to “hop” realities, like hopping trains.

I find this somewhat “scientific” way easier to stomach than just playing “make-believe.”
(And yes, I know, all you scientists, this is not real science, or at least not something that will be scientifically acknowledged within the next 100 years.)

So here’s what I do when manifesting:
​

• Let’s say you want to get out of your day job and become a successful musician (note: you should be able to sing or play an instrument if that’s your wish… from absolutely nothing comes absolutely nothing).
• You envision a parallel reality where you are a (money-making, famous) musician. If you can imagine it, it already exists somewhere; all you have to do is draw it toward you.
• Make your visualization as life-like as possible. Involve your five senses and a deep feeling of joy and gratitude. Repeat often.
• Some “dimension jumpers” say you should take two identical glasses and label glass A “frustrating day job” and glass B “successful musician.” Then you fill glass A with water and pour it slowly into glass B, all the while envisioning that you are shifting to your desired reality. Some people swear by it. I’ve tried it, but the jury is still out on the results.

2. Believe in God’s grace.
​

• If you’re a very religious person, you can also suspend disbelief by firmly trusting that God will provide for you (“Ask and you shall receive”) and that under His grace you will see the desired results.
• Trust that through God’s unlimited kindness, all your needs are already met—all you have to do is ask in order to see them manifest.
• This is what Florence Scovel Shinn did, a Law of Attraction pioneer who was a devout Christian. Check out her book, The Game of Life and How to Play It.
