It was first mentioned in about 1879. Just what is the Law of Attraction? It is the belief that says if you believe something strongly enough, what you truly believe will be attracted to you
This phrase, Law of Attraction, was first used by a major publication in 1879 when the New York Times newspaper wrote a story about the Colorado Gold Rush. It described the wagon trains that were moving west as moving in obedience to some occult law of attraction.
Since then, this phrase has been used over and over, but it has changed in its meaning over the years. It was first used mainly to describe how this Law caused people to do something.
Then, that changed to a more modern meaning of this law as being something that manifested itself and caused things to happen. To manifest in this sense means that it came about, or was thought to be real.
By 1902 to 1904 it was quite often stated that thought had to precede any physical form and that it was the action of the mind which was the nucleus of any outward visible form.
All through these early years, there were those who denied that any such thing as thought being powerful could not be true. Among the leaders of such doubters were physicists who were basing this belief on the idea that if it could not be measured, weighed or have physical form it could not be the law of anything.
But, there were always some physicists who believed that energy was involved in matter formation.
John Ambrose Fleming an electrical engineer and turn of the century physicist held that "every completed manifestation, of whatever kind and on whatever scale" was "an unquenchable Energy of Attraction"
Think and Grow Rich, a book written by Napoleon Hill was first issued in 1937 and became one of the most successful books ever... it sold well over 60 million copies.
Hills idea was that you must control your thoughts. If you did, you would find his secret (which he said was mentioned in every chapter). He never said it in so many words, but most think he was writing about The Law of Attraction without saying so.
And, physics was changing during these years. Something called Quantum physics was developed. It is, briefly, more about energy than is classical physics.
Quantum Physics now tells us and you can see it in real experiments, the reality of the universe out there is not independent of our views. It is not our purpose here to discuss quantum physics except to say that it is concerned with energy.
There are those quantum physicist who say that everything is energy
There are now quantum physicists who maintain that the Law of Attraction is indeed real and that it can be accessed and operated by anyone with sufficient dedication. Thus we see a joining of doubters and believers, in a way.
