The Secret of Talismans and Lucky CharmsHow to Change Your Luck

The Secret of Talismans and Lucky CharmsHow to Change Your Luck

by Roland Gold

It could be your own special lucky charm, or maybe an article of clothing that is lucky for you. Or a very special charm that you carry with you at all times. Your talisman will bring you good luck. If you believe in it. Maybe even if you don't believe in it.

Niels Bohr was a very famous Nobelist physicist. One day a visitor to his country cottage noticed a horseshoe hanging on a wall and teased him about his apparent superstition. "Can it be," he asked, "that you, of all people, believe it will bring you luck?" "Of course not," Bohr replied, "but I understand it brings you luck whether you believe it or not."

How does this happen? The fact that you own a personal talisman of some kind shows that you are willing to take action to improve your life and to bring yourself good luck. This willingness is part of your mind set, a way of thinking and acting that is part of your basic nature. This style of thinking opens your mind to new opportunities and prospects. You know that you are the type of person who is usually aware of the many opportunities that abound, and that you seem to attract good fortune.

Carrying a talisman also reveals your inner belief that you can have some sort of effect on "luck", which is defined as things that happen to you outside your control. Maybe you can't control the uncontrollable, but perhaps you can lean on the table hard enough to tilt things a little in your direction. Or even a lot in your direction.

We have all had experiences in our lives that were clearly outside normal expectations and beliefs. Like our occasional ability to communicate telepathically, or to predict the future, or to know things that are both totally accurate and clearly outside our normal communication channels. At some level we know that "hard reality" may not be all that obdurate, that it develops some odd ways of behaving from time to time. A Talisman is one way to break through the "hardness" of so-called objective reality.

There are two main principles associated with Talismans, the Law of Reciprocity and the Rules of Use. These two main principles greatly expand the power of a Talisman. Here they are:

Law of ReciprocityThat Which You Give Freely From the Heart is Returned to You Ten Fold.

Your Talisman brings you benefits, often money or goods. This is an essential part of a universal circulation. Your role is to be generous and charitable, knowing that you are part of this flow.

The Laws of Usehere are the four rules for Talisman use:

1. Keep me with you at all times.

2. Look at me from time to time.

3. Be sensitive to what happens when you do this.

4. Learn to accept the benefits that come to you.

This last item is possibly the hardest. When your Talisman works for you and does indeed bring you good fortune, it is all too easy to call it chance, or to give it some other cause. It is essential to be aware of the relationship between your belief system and the essential events in your lifeto know that your can indeed bring yourself good luck.
