subject: An Loa Perspective On Contract Law And Other Foolishness [print this page] What is the Law of Attraction perspective on legal contracts? Everything about signing a contract revolves around the phrase that says we agree to agree. If you look at any contract, that phrase is basically contained in the first paragraph and essentially means that if the two parties agree, there is really no need for a contract. Well I would like to show you that there is never any need for a contract.
So, the first paragraph contains the concept of: we agree to agree. The remaining 99 paragraphs contain the concept of here is what we will do if we disagree. That is the part the lawyers get paid to write. Take this concept deeper: planning what you will do if you disagree in essence means that when you wrote the contract you agreed what to do if you disagree in the future. Well, that makes absolutely no sense at all. Whatever makes you believe that if you truly do not agree at some point in the future, that you would abide by what you agreed to do if you do not agree? If you do not agree, you will have no incentive to agree, now will you?
So why waste any of your time or money agreeing to what you will do if you someday do not agree, which of course you will not agree to do what you previously agreed to anyway, because you do not agree! If you have studied the law of attraction, you probably have come to believe that what you focus your attention upon expands, and thus the contract has actually the opposite effect than what you might first think. The attorney will tell you that the contract will prevent conflict and disagreement. The law of attraction states that if you focus on what to do if there is a conflict or disagreement, the likelihood of a conflict or disagreement significantly increases.
I suggest you save your time, save your money, and avoid the contract altogether. Go back to the one timeless solution that far outweighs the contract: the simple handshake. The physical contact between two human beings that symbolizes respect and love for one another.
We all share this planet, and deep down we all know that we want to get along, and play nice like our mothers told us growing up. We also know on a very deep level that there are enough resources for all of us to thrive, and all at the same time. So let us just get on with it!
