Chinese Law Of Abundance

In the movie The Secret, Bob Proctor teaches the use of The Law of Attraction to create whatever we want in our life and to generate abundance and wealth. Bob Proctor explained that the secret in attracting abundance is aligning oneself and working with the one infinite power, the one universal law. We are all governed by the same universal law. Everything that is coming into our lives is the result of the images we hold in our minds. We attract whatever we hold in our minds.

This concept is based on the book “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D Wattles and the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. These authors lived in the 1900’s. Since the principles of The Law of Attraction is based on the Universal Law, which is as old as the Universe itself, is it possible that someone earlier in history could have discovered the secret? Or whether there are people or communities earlier in history could have lived their lives by the universal law of attraction and lived in abundance?

In a social gathering not so long ago, the topic of conversation drifted to money, wealth, success and riches. The exchange became very lively after I shared with the group about The Secret and Bob Proctor’s teachings of The Law of Attraction and how we can attract abundance in our life, and that the universe will manifest itself to bring our thoughts into reality. Someone commented that this law of abundance is practiced by the Chinese many thousands of years ago. My thoughts are, this is surely way before Wallace D Wattles and Napoleon Hill. I was intrigued by this idea and decided to find out if ever there was a “Chinese Law of Abundance”.

I did some researching and reading. What I found is that the Chinese people of the Taoist faith lived their lives in close semblance to the universal law of abundance. The Taoist values freedom, and to live a life in accordance to the law of abundance is a choice in living a life free of lack and deprivation.

We can find evidence of the law of abundance in the Dao De Jing, which is the Taoist “great book of the Way and Virtue”. The universe and the concept of its beginning is known as “nothingness”. This is similar to the “formless substance” that Wallace D Wattles spoke of in his book “The Science of Getting Rich”. And the concept of abundance is termed as “haveness” in the ancient text.

In the Dao De Jing we find phrases relating to the law of abundance, such as:

Nothingness named beginning of universe, haveness named mother of all objects. Thus be always in nothingness, if you desire to perceive the Dao's wonder. Always in haveness, if you desire to discover the bountiful phenomena.

Empty yet produces endlessly, the more it works the more results it gets.

The more one acts in harmony with the universe (the Mother of the ten thousand things), the more one will achieve, with less effort.

Isn’t it wonderful to know that people in ancient history knew and practiced the law of abundance? I am thrilled that the law of abundance is not lost in time and has been brought back by Bob Proctor. He has not only revived an ancient principle, but also has put together The Science of Getting Rich Program, specially designed to help people learn how to use the Law of Attraction to manifest abundance and wealth in their lives.
