Be careful, by walking that path you can end up losing more than you think. The LoA does seem to work opposite for some, and this was proven with scientific testing. Creation is very powerful, and respect/knowledge is a must. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29412599 perhaps they were saying a positive statement, but thinking "this doesnt work" which will negate the positive statement Or it could be how we ask. For example someone praying to avoid divorce. The Universe reacts to what on your mind in which case is "divorce" So "Voilà". |

smilesun User ID: 879055 Italy 12/14/2012 05:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Attraction 101 Attraction What is the first thing you think about when you hear the word “Attraction.”? I for one almost immediately think of the definition, like all good writers should do. What does attraction mean though? Daniel Webster defines it as, and I quote, “act of attracting, power to attract.” That doesn't really help though does it? So attract means, “1. Draw toward by inherent physical force; cause to cohere with. 2. Invite; allure.” [link to wesleycox.hubpages.com] VIRTUALBLOGNEWS [link to virtualblognews.altervista.org] |

There is some truth in the law of attraction theory, but the universe is NOT just a giant vending machine waiting for you to figure out what kind of 'currency' it requires. For example if your life lesson is to experience poverty, no amount of rich thinking is gonna make you rich. The greatest gift you can give anyone is the example of your own life working. -Orin |

God wants you to come to HIM to provide you with that which you need. Some people haven't been reading their Bibles apparently. Quoting: AChristian 29500735 The Bible is not completely accurate Go INSIDE (meditate) to the Father Fragment within to see if this is what he wants for you.

You may consciously want more money for example but in the back of you mind don't think you are worthy or doubt it will ever happen and therefore it doesn't. We are our own worst enemies. You really have to get to know yourself. Faith is really needed to make this happen and you must feel good about yourself. That takes work. The Bible even says if you doubt about what you want or pray about it won't happen. The mind is very powerful and it can be very hard to harness. That is why you must start out small with what you want so you can build faith that the law of attraction is real. Matthew 21:21 Then Jesus told them, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen James 1:6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1550123 United States 12/14/2012 06:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The law of attraction has been in the public domain for at least 100 years. True, only a handful of people were aware of it. And then the movie "the secret" comes along to pad the pockets of smart business men. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29657187 Either way, us little people are NO better off since the movie. People are still scrambling trying to figure out what and how to use the Laws of the Universe. The only people benefiting from the laws of the universe are the "insiders," and they ain't gonna tell us sheep how the game gets won. Therefore, the movie was just a diversion from a bigger truth. Just focusing on (and feeling) abundance doesn't make you abundant. LoA is a slippery slope. Be careful, by walking that path you can end up losing more than you think.

Of it did, there wouldn't be so many books and shelters out there selling more law of attraction gimmicks. Yes, the Secret is oversimplified commodified mass market garbage to make consumers feel good. But just like organized religion, there are grains of truth amongst the bullshit. The reason LOA often works in opposite manner is because most people can only focus on their LACK of what they want rather than the feeling of ABUNDANCE that will attract their desires. Even then, reality is more complex than any system can teach. Simply wishing for something is not enough. i have become more positive realizing that negativity makes things no better but worse. I also try to imagine myself doing or having the thing I want. Then I let it go and have faith everything will work out. It is not easy and takes work but I am better off now than I have ever been in many ways. I say during the day 'I am better and better every day in every way" and see what happens as I go about my day. And sometimes life may seem to fall apart before things do get better. That is where faith comes in. It helps a person not to freak out or freak out as much as we realize we can't control everything but have to allow things to just flow while at the same time getting on with life. |
