On October 24, Master of Ceremonies Richard Silverberg welcomed everyone to the Amari Resort’s Tavern by the Sea Restaurant for the regular Sunday meeting of the Pattaya City Expats Club. After the usual opening announcements, he called on Bruce Gordon to speak to the Club.
PCEC speaker of the day Bruce Gordon discusses the Universal Law of Attraction, attracting more of what you want and less of what you don’t into your life.
Bruce’s topic was about using the Universal Law of Attraction to attract more of what you want and less of what you don’t into your life. Bruce has an interesting background, having left a successful career in finance over 30 years ago and embarked on a journey that has taken him on a lifelong quest of self discovery, traveling, living and working in more than 70 different countries.
With over 30 years experience in international business ventures around the world, the main thread running through all of Bruce’s endeavors has been the constant seeking out of the best minds for studying, and training in areas such as business, communications, psychology, conflict resolution, and spirituality. Bruce hold’s accreditation from some of the top teachers in the world in their fields, ranging from Toney Robbins Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to bestselling author Michael Losier on the Law of Attraction.
Bruce began his presentation by showing some slides that provided a historical reference for the Law of Attraction. He said that it is a universal law, like gravity. It is neutral and applies to both the good and the bad. Further, he said that it is always at work in your life responding to your thoughts and emotional vibrations (vibes).
The idea in applying the Law of Attraction is to realize that you can learn how to use it to create positive vibes to attract what you want in life. Further, by giving off positive vibes, you will attract more of the same from others.
Former PCEC Chairman Richard Smith advises members of the upcoming computer group meeting; this meeting will be directed to getting computer beginners up and running, with email and browsing.
Basically vibes come from your mood or feelings and will be either positive or negative. When you meet someone, they can usually tell if you are giving off positive or negative vibes.
To create these positive vibes, Bruce said that there are three words you should eliminate from your vocabulary. These words are “Don’t,” “Not,” and “No.” These words are negative and if you apply them in your thoughts on what you want in life, you will be giving off negative rather than positive vibes. Thus you will not be attracting what you want in life; rather you will be attracting what you don’t want. It is better to use positive words. Instead of saying something like I don’t want to be fat, you should flip it around and say what you want, which can be said as I want to be skinny.
According to Bruce, there is a three step formula for attracting what you want in life: (1) know what it is you want; (2) give desire, focus, and energy to achieving it; and (3) allow it to happen by eliminating resistance to it.
Bruce explained that knowing what you want is not always easy. He suggested you list what you want or perhaps you may find it easier to list what you don’t want. If the latter, you should then flip it so that you then write it in positive terms to say what you want rather than what you don’t want. Using the positive terms will give off positive vibes.
Bruce provided several examples. One such was that if you say I am a great golfer, it will not work because a voice inside your head will say no you are not. Rather than starting out saying you are a great golfer, Bruce said make it a goal that you can become a great golfer. Then focus your energy on that thought and over time; you will find that you are attracting the things you need such as the knowledge and skills to achieve your goal. To allow it, you must remove resistance to it. Methods to do this will vary. For example some people want proof it is happening. For those, Bruce suggested they could write down their accomplishments in a journal as evidence that you did accomplish something toward gaining your goal.
In conclusion, Bruce said it is all about vibes. If you are giving off positive thoughts and feelings, then you will attract positive things to your life. If you are giving off negative thoughts and feelings, you will be attracting less of what you want and more of what you don’t want.
There was a lot of interest from the audience as evidenced by their many questions and comments. Bruce offered to form a discussion group so that those interested would have the opportunity to learn more on how to use the Law of Attraction to get more of what you want and less of what you don’t want.
The meeting concluded with Richard bringing everyone up to date on upcoming general and club events. He then called on Harry “Sig” Sigworth to conduct the always informative and sometimes humorous Open Forum, where questions about living in Thailand and Pattaya in particular are asked and answered.
