The Secret’s Law of Attraction sounds Wonderful, it's just Not Accurate

If you saw or read The Secret a couple of years ago, you learned all about the Law of Attraction. The way the Law of Attraction works is that you attract whatever you have in your mind. So that means you need to picture what you want, a new job, for example. You visualize the new job and it will be drawn to you because the cosmic Law of Attraction means that picture in your mind works like a magnet, attracting that new job, which will then show up in your life.
The only problem with the Law of Attraction is, based on how our reality is created, it doesn't describe the way the process of having what you want works. Quantum physics - specifically the wave/particle duality aspect of quantum physics - proves that you are creating what you want, not attracting it.
This cosmic Law of Attraction is not a law in quantum physics, the science that studies the subatomic world inside atoms - atoms that join together to form molecules. It's molecules that make up everything in our world. What we learn from quantum physics is that nothing in our world exists until we create it - at the very moment we observe or experience it. Therefore that new job isn't sitting in some warehouse, maybe in the Sahara Desert or some other low-rent warehouse district. There isn't a warehouse filled with new jobs, houses, cars, new husbands and wives - all just waiting to be drawn like a magnetized metal to your side.
In reality, until we observe it, everything in the world exists as an invisible wave of energy. It is our act of observation that gives it form. As humans, the way we observe - and what determines exactly what we experience - is based on what's in our subconscious minds. The subconscious mind is beyond your normal awareness, so you have to make a special point to access it. Once you access the subconscious mind you can make whatever changes you wish. So to get anything you want, you need to change what's in your subconscious mind. Once you make the necessary changes, you can have that new job or anything else you want.
But you won't succeed by attracting. We are much more powerful than magnets - we are magicians, conjuring up what we want to experience. That means if you don't like what's in your life right now, or you haven't had success "attracting" what you want, you can make changes in your subconscious mind and experience a different reality - one that is more to your liking.
For those of you who've had some success with the Law of Attraction, it's important to realize that you've done above and beyond what is described in The Secret. You haven't attracted what you've brought into your life, you've created it!
