The Subconscious mind is driven by working in conjunction with the laws of vibration and attraction . It’s been long professed that once mastered, you will live a life of prosperity, obtaining all we wish for. Let’s get a deeper understanding what these laws mean and the role of the subconscious mind with steps to make this all happen.

Law of Vibration What does it mean?

Whether one believes it or not, the law of vibration is right here in our midst. It works and it works all the time. While it may be difficult for some people to grasp the principles regarding the law of vibration, for others its perfectly easy.

The Law of Vibration refers to everything being a form of energy and that the entire universe is made up of energy. Studying a particle through a microscope will show molecules are visible which are in constant motion. If you take it a little further and explore within the molecules, atoms become visible which in turn have a proton constantly being circled by an electron and this is in fact, vibration in action. So, as we know that all things are made up of atoms, we also know that all things are vibrating, albeit at different frequencies although it is only when vibrations occur within the human range, that we can see or feel them.

Whether you believe we were created by God or not, whatever or whoever created us must also vibrate. Taking into consideration that we are the result of this creation, and that were made up of molecules, we in fact also consist of energy and as with everything else, we also vibrate. Thoughts, sounds, light and in fact anything that has to do with us also vibrates. Now, if we take all this into consideration, it should essentially be possible to synchronize our vibrations with the vibrations of the universe and therefore, providing we do this, it should be possible to connect with those things to which our vibrations are pointing to. Of course for this to work, the thoughts of both our conscious and subconscious minds must be in alignment with the vibrations of the universe. It is for this exact reason that we need to be aware of our conscious and subconscious thoughts.

Law of Attraction

As with the Law of Vibration, we are also have the Law of Attraction and just as with the Law of Vibration, the Law of Attraction is also a law concerning the entire universe. In essence, the Law of Attraction explains that for every action, there is a reaction. In other words, there is an effect as well as a cause for everything we do. By applying this Law of Attraction, it is possible to have anything we want purely by thinking of it. However, in order for this to work, we need to condition the thoughts within our subconscious mind in order for them to attract that which we are wanting to attract. If the subconscious mind does not wish for a particular thing that we are wanting, we simply will not get it.

While we are able to control the Law of Attraction to some extent, we should also acknowledge that it is a law which exists apart from you. The only way to have some degree of control over this law is through our vibrations and our thoughts. In other words, we need to focus on conditioning our subconscious mind in such a way that it vibrates in harmony with the vibrations of the universe, thus allowing us to have whatever we wish for, simply by thinking about it.

The Role of the Subconscious Mind

Okay, so now we are aware of the two laws which are able to work in conjunction with the subconscious mind. We also know that if we enable this to happen, we can live a life of prosperity, obtaining all that we wish for. However, simply knowing about this is not enough because we also need to understand the role of our subconscious mind, which in turn will lay the foundation for being able to control it.

Many people tend to confuse the brain with the mind so lets make this clear. The brain is not the mind. In fact, it is the mind which uses the brain to conduct certain functions.

On one hand, our conscious mind is employed to receive and interpret sensory input from the five human senses by using our brain. Once our conscious mind has completed this task, it forwards the information to the subconscious mind where it will in turn be analyzed and processed in such a way that they will have specific effects on ones body or on the way that one does something.

In order to take advantage of the two laws we discussed and get something you want, you simply need to set the process in motion by focusing your thoughts on that which you want. Your conscious mind will accept the input and relay it to your subconscious mind.

Amazingly enough, unlike the conscious mind, the subconscious mind never sleeps and it never switches off, hence the reason why people dream at night. In fact, a dream is really a result of some kind, which is being delivered to you from your subconscious. Another form of delivery takes the form of you receiving something which you have been wanting.

Obviously, in order for you to get what you want, it is fundamental that your subconscious mind is vibrating in alignment with the vibrations of the universe and for this to happen successfully, the programming of your subconscious must also be in total alignment. If this is not the case, you will not get what youve been wanting. Your thoughts have to vibrate in accordance with your wishes and in so doing, you as a person will find yourself in perfect alignment with the universe.

So, lets just look at this one last time. In order for you to live a prosperous life and have all that you desire, you need to understand the Law of Vibration. You also need to understand the Law of Attraction and lastly, you need to understand exactly how the subconscious mind works. In simple terms, this entire concept works simply by you providing input to your conscious mind where it will in turn be interpreted, and then forwarded to the subconscious mind where it will be processed. If for some reason the programming in your subconscious is not in agreement with the recently received thoughts, suitable vibrations will fail to materialize thus not being able to align with the vibrations of the universe. This of course will result in you not getting what you want.

Yes you can have anything you want but before that can happen, you need to make sure your subconscious mind is in a suitable condition and able to vibrate in alignment with the vibrations of the universe. If you have not yet accomplished this state of mind, its inevitable that you make certain lifestyle changes with regards to your current mindset.

W&M (William & Mary) Law School in Virginia, Cornell Law School, and Columbia Law School in New York are institutions that have been well known to provide top-notch education in jurisprudence for future law practitioners. Many legislators and law practitioners have prided themselves in having their education from these schools, especially Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who studied both in Cornell and Columbia. If you want to apply for these schools, here is a primer on the eligibility, application process, and the requirements that you need to pass.

Eligibility

W&M Law has three programs offered. For those who want to apply for the JD program, a bachelors degree from an accredited college or university is required. For those who want to get into joint degree programs, a minimum requirement of a bachelors degree is also required. Those who want to get into the Ll.M program or those who want to expand their knowledge of American jurisprudence can then do so even if they have obtained their legal training outside of the US so long as TOEFL score requirements are met.

Cornell Law requires applicants to at least have earned a bachelors degree from a four-year course. Although graduate school grades and standing will not feature in the rankings, these may be reviewed by the panel. Foreign students need to submit their school transcripts through the LSAC J.D. Credential Assembly Service (CAS).

Columbia Law is a little bit more discriminating as it requires applicants to have had a bachelors degree in law. A bachelors degree in any other field, despite being followed by a Masters in Law, will still not suffice for eligibility. Those who have earned their law degrees through correspondence or in foreign law schools are also not accepted into Columbia Law.

Application process

The application process for W&M Law is as follows:

1) Complete an application form via the LSDAS Electronic application or through the schools website. 2) Submit an application fee. 3) Send your academic transcripts and letters of recommendations. 4) Send your essays and a TOEFL score if applicable.

For Cornell Law:

1) Submit a completed application form through the website or through LSAC. 2) Pass two letters of recommendations, a personal statement essay, and an optional diversity essay. 3) Submit an application fee.

To get into Columbia Law:

1) Pass a completed application via the GLS Online Application. 2) Pay the application fee. 3) Submit your TOEFL, if applicable. 4) Pass personal statement essays, a resume, academic transcripts and diplomas, and letters of recommendation.

Writing the personal statement

All three schools require the applicant to submit a personal statement. Cornell suggests writing the personal statement on a topic about yourself, which can be discussed further during the interview. You can write about intellectual or personal interests and achievements, your goals and dreams or any project that you take pride in. A personal statements length is preferably up to two pages, double-spaced, and in a font and size that is easy on the eyes.

Sample law school personal statements can serve as guides for the format and content. Many sample law school personal statements online were done by authors who made it prestigious law schools.

The 2009 Car Complaint Index has just been published, showing the ranking, by vehicle, of cars receiving the highest ratio of complaints to sales. Complaints are fielded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), results are published yearly and this year shows the Land Rover LR2, the Mitsubishi Lancer, the Pontiac Solstice, the Dodge Avenger and Subaru Impreza to be the top offenders.

Attention is sharply paid to vehicles with high complaint ratios for good reason: the percentage of defective vehicles, or lemons, is astoundingly high, especially from the U.S. Big Three automakers. To add insult to injury, when a defect is found in a vehicle, a manufacturer will do as much as possible to cover it up so that they are not plagued with demands for refunds or replacements.

There is, in fact, something called a secret warranty that can act as a deflection to consumers with valid lemon law complaints. A secret warranty is a strategy that manufacturers use to avoid a recall, explained California lemon law attorney Norman Taylor. Under a secret warranty, manufacturers will pay for repair of a particular defect in a particular kind of vehicle, even after the warranty has expired. They call them warranty adjustment policies or goodwill gestures. And even these have to be pried from the manufacturers by loudly complaining consumersonly the squeaky wheel actually gets the grease.

Taylor has witnessed such practice many times over the years. He has been a lemon law specialist since 1987, and he and his firm, Norman Taylor and Associates, have handled over 6,000 cases for consumers with a 98 percent success rate. He is one of the leading lemon law attorneys in southern California.

It comes as no surprise that manufacturers will resort to such tactics to avoid a recall. If the NHTSA discovers safety-related defects and orders a recall, the manufacturer must arrange to repair the defect at no charge or, if the manufacturer chooses, can replace or repurchase the vehicle or defective component. The manufacturer must also file a public report with detailed information on the recall, must notify all owners of affected vehicles, and take numerous other costly steps to right the wrong.

Because manufacturers can and do take every measure to avoid replacement or refund of defective vehicles, it behooves any consumer who believes he or she may have purchased a lemon to contact a qualified lemon law attorney right away.
