Do you think that only children believe that wishes come true? Not at all: Many adults pray and wish that their prayers will be heard and answered. If we see scientifically, there is no difference between wishing upon a midnight star and praying to a higher power. The practical difference is the level of belief bestowed on the chances for whether the wish or prayer will be heard and answered. It is that key characteristic that increases the chances of the wish or prayer being fulfilled, in accordance with the Law of Attraction. Let’s spend a moment and examine what scientific evidence can tell us about how wishes and prayers might be “heard” and answered.
The best evidence for how wishes and prayers are heard comes from the fields of near-death experiences (NDEs) and out-of-body experiences (OBEs). People who have experienced an NDE, often report being able to hear or know the thoughts of the people near their body at the time of their death. This often manifests as the thoughts of the doctors and nurses working on their unconscious body in the hospital emergency room, and those caregivers’ feelings of hopelessness or desperation to save the patient’s life. The patient’s temporarily departed soul may try to communicate their own feelings of peace so that their doctors and loved ones will not worry about the injured person’s condition. The soul often attempts to reassure them that he/she is okay, but finds communication is one-way only: The soul can hear the thoughts of those alive but those alive are oblivious to the soul’s presence or thoughts in return. Hundreds and even thousands of these cases are documented by first-hand accounts with organizations like the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, and many dozens more have been extensively covered in books describing first-hand accounts of each author’s own NDE.
Robert Monroe wrote of his extensive out-of-body experiences and consistently reported similar findings. He reported being able to hear the thoughts of people – and spirits – when traveling in the out-of-body state, and referred to this as “M Field” noise. Monroe also experimented with attempts to communicate with friends when he was traveling out of the body. Most such attempts likewise failed because those friends were awake and actively engaged in activities in the physical world, which meant their mind was not properly poised to receive guidance and inspiration from the spiritual world. (This point is a key to understanding how to receive guidance and communication from the spirit world: One’s mind must be quieted such as during a period of meditation or just before falling asleep.)
So we see from the fields of NDEs and OBEs, human thoughts – i.e. wishes and prayers – can be heard by spirits, and it may be possible those spirits may be able to help inspire the supplicant as to how those thoughts and prayers could be answered. In such cases, the wish or prayer is often answered by the Universe helping us learn to help ourselves by providing us guidance and inspiration.
Another means by which wishes and prayers might be answered lies in understanding the Law of Attraction. When we understand how to implement properly the Law of Attraction, we can increase the success rate of our wishes and prayers. For example, if you believe that your wish or prayer will come true then you have incorporated an important first step in receiving the answer to your prayer. And so, for children who still believe that sometimes wishes do come true, for them this may become a reality. And likewise for religious adults who believe that sometimes God does answer prayers, for them this may also become a reality.
Oftentimes, however, a singular wish or prayer is not enough to influence a change in the course of physical reality, so persistence, conviction of beliefs, and tangible actions to realize those prayers are highly prudent measures to take, as required by the Law of Attraction. Yet still, not every wish or prayer or desire sought through the Law of Attraction will or can be realized. For these cases, one should understand that a negative occurrence does not, in and of itself, disprove the validity of the Law of Attraction. It simply shows that in the course of your life, that particular request could not be fulfilled for reasons apparently beyond your own understanding at that point in time. Don’t let this negative occurrence frustrate your efforts to improve your life through prudent and deliberate usage of the Law of Attraction. Simply re-examine the situation, attempt to learn from it, and then try working towards your goal(s) in a different direction, and you will eventually receive an answer to your prayers.
