A lot has been said regarding the Law of Attraction. Some people have interpreted it as a vehicle to obtain anything material or physical .( Seriously, how many Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt clones can the Universe provide? ).

With maturity & practice comes the realization that the underlying intention behind the request is what is of importance. What will this request engender to benefit the world?
Bo Forbes best describes it in a Yoga Journal piece on Darshana :
Darshana (Vision) Once we've examined the roots of our patterns, we must finally create a new samskara. To do this, we need to envision what it might look like.
This is where darshana (vision) comes into play. When we create a vision for our new pattern, we must give it a life force more vital than the old one. We need to convince ourselves that it is real. We use our senses and emotions to bring it to life: What does it look, smell, or feel like? The more we visualize (and experience) the new pattern, the more real and compelling it becomes.
By making space in the body during yoga, we generate freedom in the mind; this freedom can spark our creativity, helping us find an unlimited choice of healthier patterns.
