Introduction

I need to begin by telling you that this is not new information.

The Law of Attraction is a fundamental law of the universe and has
always existed. It never varies in either predictability or action. The
concept of the law of attraction can be stated as: “That which is like
unto itself is drawn,” (Abraham) “What you think about you bring
about,” Michael Beckwith, “Thoughts become Things,” Mike Dooley,
“When you change the way you look at things, you change the way
things look”, Lazarus, “What goes around comes around,” source
unknown, and “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.,” a
commonly heard saying.

A fairly recent phenomenon is the movie “The Secret” which

presents the Law of Attraction in modern terms that we can easily
understand. Many of the modern teachers of the law of attraction are
featured in the movie. I have bought and read their books and
listened to their audios and have come to understand a bit of how the
law of attraction works and that it does work, infallibly, al of the time.

There are naysayers that will say the law of attraction is not a
law and that it is just positive thinking hype to make people feel good.
I ignore them and I encourage you to ignore them. Not so long ago it
was believed that the human body would succumb to disease or even
fall apart if it were to travel at speeds in excess of 25 miles per hour.
This warning first came out when steam engines were proposed as

people movers. Similar arguments were made against

flight in an airplane. Today we routinely fly and drive
about with no ill effects. We have learned the world is round.

Set aside any doubts you may have up to this point and try any
one of the processes described in the following pages. I am certain
that you will be pleased to find that after about 60 days of honestly
practicing any one of the three keys that the world around you will
have changed in a positive way.

Before I introduce the first key, I’m going to make a few notes
about the mind, specifically, your mind. I’m not referring specifically
the brain, which is complex enough, but to the thinking part of the
mind that recognizes itself.

Some scientists have figured out that the mind think over
10,000 thoughts a day. I wonder how they managed to arrive at that
number, but I assume it is conservative as are most scientific facts.

The mind does always seem to be processing thoughts, but

how many of those thoughts are deliberate as opposed to the greater
number of thoughts that just stream through the mind. A few days
ago I was washing my hair in the shower when I was reminded of
something a neighbor said about 46 years ago. I was 12 and he 11.
He told my friend that his dad was bald because when his dad was a
boy, he loved to take long hot showers and let the water run over his
head. This he said was the cause of his baldness. Soon I was

http://eft-qt.com
 The Three Keys –Page 4 of 25

thinking other thoughts of my boyhood days, of schools I

went to, of sports I played, and girls I was too afraid to
talk to.

My point is this: If the mind is left on its own, it will freely

associate thoughts, one to the next, for as long as you don’t intervene
with some purpose or work for the mind to engage, something to
concentrate on. Even when concentrating the mind drifts into
patterns of remembered thoughts.

So, if what we think about we bring about, unfocused random

thoughts will bring about an unfocused random life. Sound familiar?

My question to you is: What have you been deliberately

thinking? “Dr. Phil might state that as: “How is that working for you?”

Getting back to the law of attraction, it’s very easy to know what
you have been thinking. Just look at your own life. It is a direct and
indirect result of exactly what you have been thinking. Now some will
say, “But I have a big hairy mole on my forehead and I didn’t think of
or wish for that.” Of course not! Now one deliberately wishes for a
mole, a heart attack, or a cancer. However, it is more about the
quality of thoughts than the direct topic of the thought. If the general
quality of one’s thoughts is negative, then the resulting manifestations
will be equally negative.

By: David Mahen

http://eft-qt.com
 The Three Keys –Page 5 of 25

So, if one is constantly reacting to their

environment, thinking about whatever crosses their path,
then the result of engaging those thoughts will be the basis of what
manifests. Even if one is “against” a thing, the quality of that thing will
manifest if one continuously engages that quality of thought.

Abraham-Hick talks about thoughts as Vibration and Frequency

of Vibration. They often use the analogy that a radio tuned to 700 AM
can not pick up the frequency of 102.9 FM – the frequencies simply
don’t match.

In other words, if you want a manifestation of more money, a

new job, or a relationship, you must focus on the correct quality or
vibration of thought. The three keys that follow are designed to help
you change the quality and vibration frequency of your thoughts so
that you can manifest what you want and not that which you do not
want.

Here are your three keys:

1. Don’t watch violence or news on television
2. Don’t read newspapers—except for coupons
3. Don’t listen to news radio

No, those aren’t the three, if only it was that simple and easy.
Although, I should have added those three as prerequisites, I didn’t.
The three keys are simple, but as with any discipline, maybe not so

easy. After all, you will be changing a system of beliefs,

your underlying programming that has served you well for
many years.

You be the judge. The first key waits on the next page.

Key Number One – Stop Complaining

I have adapted this key from the work of Will

Bowen, author of “A Complaint Free World” and founder of the
Complaint Free Organization. Words give power to thoughts—you
already know this. When someone cuts you off in traffic, you might
think “That so and so is an idiot.” However, if you roll down the
window and shout at the car you add immense power to the thought,
you feel that power as anger. You may even add an unwelcome
response from the offending driver. Road Rage anyone?

Will Bowen wanted people in his church to express themselves

in a more positive way. He came up with a very simple program to
reduce negativity: Stop complaining! He handed out purple silicone
bracelets for participants to wear. The instructions are simple.
Whenever you find yourself complaining, gossiping, or
commiserating, you change the bracelet from one wrist to the other.
You don’t even need a purple bracelet, a ring, watch, or other token
will substitute just fine.

The goal is to complete 21 consecutive days without uttering a

single complaint. This is a simple instruction, but no easy task. Some
people have completed their 21 days in as little as six months. Others
have been at it for nearly two years and still have not made it. Keep in
mind that this isn’t a race or a destination, it’s a journey.

Why is this key effective? Our words make our thoughts more
powerful. In this program, we are not speaking negative words, so the
By: David Mahen
http://eft-qt.com
 The Three Keys –Page 8 of 25

negative thoughts have much less power. In his book,

Will explains that it is extremely beneficial to utter a
positive statement in place of a complaint. This is hard to do at first,
but gets easier over time. Before long, when the negative thoughts
are not spoken, negative thoughts lose power. As the negative
thoughts and words are replaced by positive words and thoughts,
participants find that the world somehow magically changes for the
better!

At first, the positive statements are hard to come up with, but it

gets easier in time. Here are a few examples.
Complaint: The high price of gas is outrageous; those oil companies
should be punished!
Positive Statement: “It’s a good thing I’m rich…”
Complaint: That so-and-so cut me off (in traffic)
Positive Statement: That car came very close, I am glad I am safe.

I have also found that one needs to keep track of the

complaints in writing. If I forget my bracelet after a shower, I also tend
to forget the keep track of complaints. In order to keep on track, I now
carry a small notebook at all times. I write the day’s date on a line and
I make a simple stroke on the line with every complaint.

So, get that notebook to journal in, or if you are taking this
course live, then use the one provided. Your title page reads “My
Complaint Free Journey.” Now, put on that bracelet and begin.

Key Number Two – Afformations & EFT

Afformations are a variation on affirmations. There’s nothing wrong

with affirmations, they just don’t work for some people. Afformations
are questions designed to defeat negative self-defeating beliefs that
sabotage ones attempts to change deeply ingrained negative
programming. Your super conscious mind will find answers for you
and deliver the circumstances and synchronicities to answer your
questions.

Your super conscious mind responds like a computer. It will tirelessly

process whatever information or task you give it to do. Affirmations
are often stopped in their tracks when the mind attempts to answer
the affirmation with a plan of how to get it done. Afformations begin
with an open-ended “WHY” question. Again, the mind tirelessly seeks
an answer. Afformations are best used when an affirmation receives
a mental response form you that says “Yeah, right,” or “When pigs
fly,” or something similar.

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. I am only going to

use the shortest form in this manual, but it combines perfectly with
Afformations. The EFT process involves tapping on energy meridians
while repeating Afformations or, affirmations if they work for you.

I combine EFT with Afformations for an effective way to program the

subconscious mind. The subconscious mind then takes on much of

By: David Mahen

http://eft-qt.com
 The Three Keys –Page 10 of 25

the job of erasing flaws in your map of reality and writing

a new map that serves you much more effectively.

The process is simple. Pick some Afformations from the topics that
follow or make up your own. If you choose affirmations, the same is
true. There are thousands of sources for great affirmations, but I
would start with the work of Louse Hay. Every day you should read,
write, say, and listen to them. Once you settle in to the Afformations
or affirmations that are uniquely yours, you will add the EFT tapping
techniques to facilitate opening the blockages to your energy system.
You should practice morning and night at minimum. Time to do the
work should not be an issue. This process can easily be completed
while commuting to and from work.

After 60 days of practice you should have remarkable results as long

as you remember to do one main thing—and that is to take action
when those circumstances and synchronicities that are your answers
come to you. They won’t come if you sit on the sofa and don’t act.

All three keys work together and there is no conflict. While one of the
keys may appeal more than another, they all will work together. When
using EFT and Afformations, some good Afformations to start with
are these:
“Why do I complain less each day?”
“Why is it so easy to compliment instead of complain?”
“Why is my glass always half-full?”
“Why do I always find reasons to be grateful?”

And, you can make up your own.

A tapping chart is included below to help you find the
tapping points. Either or both sides may be tapped, but just use one
side if you are driving. Follow the points in order, tapping on each one
while repeating the Afformation or affirmation of your choice. More

If Affirmations work for you, then you can tap along with them.
In fact, you can tap along with any positive phrases. The work of
Louise Hay is an excellent source of affirmations. You can also tap
using Dr. Pat Carrington’s “choices” method—also described on the
http://www.emofree.com website.

The combination of phrases and tapping unblocks one’s energy

system of old, negative emotions; the ones that have you attracting
the stuff you don’t want in your life.

Key Number Three – Telling a New Story

In their book, The Law of Attraction, Abraham-Hicks

describe many processes to help achieve the manifestations you
desire, but the resounding theme is this: Don’t pay attention to reality,
or to what is. Instead, turn your attention to what you want by telling
the story of what you want, why you want it, and how good you feel
when you have it. ”

Telling a new story is based on the premise that we are all

telling our story every minute of every day to anyone and everyone
who will listen. By constantly telling and retelling that story, we
constantly create our story.

Telling one’s story is a lot like complaining, but perhaps more

subtle. It seems natural for someone to tell you about their illness,
their accident, or their obnoxious uncle that “Always” embarrasses
everyone. The more they tell the more it happens. It is Law.

Telling a new story is a process where you consciously decide

what you specifically want to create and experience while you ignore
most of what is happening around your. It doesn’t matter that what
surrounds you is “true” or if you consider it “reality,” it is the deliberate
act of telling your new story and feeling how it will feel when it
happens. You will create your new story.

Begin by writing or journaling about what you want. The act of

writing your new story allows you to focus upon a narrow subject
brings forth more clarity. If you try to focus upon many things at once
your story slips into confusion.

By: David Mahen

http://eft-qt.com
 The Three Keys –Page 23 of 25

Telling your new story is the process of deliberate

identification of what is specifically wanted for this
moment in time. It is done with the intent of bringing positive creation
from all of the confusion of what is considered to be your total life
experience. The task is to focus your awareness on what you most
want in this particular moment. Write it out. Get into the feelings of
how good you will feel when you have it.

As you take time to write your new story, you bring forth
tremendous power from the Universe, and all of it is funneled into this
very specific moment in which you now stand.

Think of your thoughts as magnetic. Therefore, whenever you

are contemplating or focusing upon even a small negative thought, by
the power of the Law of Attraction, it will grow larger.

If you are feeling good or happy, you will attract people who feel
the same. Since you attract or invite into your experiences the others
with whom you interest, the people who surround you in traffic; the
people you rendezvous with while shopping; the people you meet
while you’re walking; the subjects that people discuss with you; the
way you are treated by your waiter at the restaurant; the money that
flows into your experience; the way your physical body looks and
feels; the people you date; it is of value to understand the power of
your now moment in time.

The point of the “telling a new story” Process is to clearly direct

your thought to those things that you want to experience by
identifying the elements of life that are most important to you in this
particular segment of your life.
By: David Mahen
http://eft-qt.com
 The Three Keys –Page 24 of 25

Start simple! Pick small pieces of your story and

write out how you want it to unfold. For example: The drive to work.
“Today I will have a safe and pleasant drive to work. I will appreciate
the courtesy and caution of other drivers. I see them smiling and I
imagine that they are as happy as I am to be cruising safely along.”

Smaller parts of your new story are like paragraphs in the book
of your life. They are much easier to manage than attempting to
tackle the entire story at one time.

Your next journal will be where you tell your new story. Start out
with specific things. If you generalize on your life you will get bogged
down. Start simple. Perhaps with something new you want or a single
thing or situation you want to change. For example, if you
procrastinate about exercise, and feel too tired to exercise. You want
to change that, but have held back anticipating the difficulty. You
might tell your new story like this:

My body knows how to maintain itself and I am going to allow it

to do so. I don’t have to exercise to exhaustion, I can start slowly. I
can walk to the corner and back today. I enjoy the deliciousness of
the air and the sun as I walk. I pay attention to the sounds of birds
singing and breezes slipping past branches. Each day I will increase
my walking by just a small amount of time. I will add few minutes here
and a few minutes there that I will hardly notice. I find it easier to
breathe in the fresh air as I walk and I am getting lighter on my feet
every day. My clothes are getting more comfortable and soon I will
shop for some smaller sizes. …

 The Three Keys –Page 25 of 25

Write out your new story and feel the positive

emotions that you will feel when you have whatever it is
you want. If the emotion turns negative, STOP. The goal here is to tell
the NEW story and bring in the positive new emotions.

At first, you may not be comfortable with actually telling others

your new story. That’s ok. Just keep writing it out, adding detail and
feeling the emotions.

In conclusion, keep in mind the following:

Each of these Keys to The Law of Attraction can be used

independently, or together. They are most effective when they are all
used.

Hick website. At http://www.abraham-hicks.com

around you changing also.
