The Law of Attraction— free seminar explores fact and fiction
Since the recent publication of books and articles touting the power of the Law of Attraction, many have come to believe that by just thinking a good thought or two, all the successes of life will drop into their laps. Not so, says New Thought teacher, speaker, and minister Richard Kent Matthews.
“The Law of Attraction writers give the impression that it takes no actual work—just a thought—and your success is guaranteed. But it doesn’t work that way. It’s important to discover the truth as well as the misunderstandings about this so-called ‘law’. Your success is not in the hands of some outside force but in your own resources. Bring those forth and you can create almost anything.”
Rev. Matthews presents a free seminar on Saturday, May 3, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. entitled “How to Create the Life You Want” at the Fairview Community Center, 300 Harrison Street, Fairview, Oregon.
The real ‘secret’ to creating the life you want is to develop a True Vision. Most people never do that and then wonder why they aren’t manifesting their dreams. Rev. Matthews seminar will show you how to develop that Vision. It’s a simple process. There’s nothing supernatural about it. You already have all the abilities you need.”
The seminar is sponsored by Christ Light Unity Church (New Thought). For more information and directions, call (503) 618-0134, e-mail ChristLightUnity@USA.com, or visit www.ChristLightUnity.org.
