Against the Law of Attraction

I've given 3 steps to using it, now I'm Against the Law of Attraction?
Yes and No.

Does the law of attraction really work? Is it just a scam perpetrated by it's promoters to make money? Or is it kind of like the placebo effect:; you get what you expect, whether there's been a real change or not.

Well, you can't 'prove' it or disprove it. If it doesn't work, you can always claim that there must be some hidden thoughts that are contradicting it.

What about larger events that people get caught in? Like hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, and wars? Did they attract these events to themselves?

There have been many research experiments documenting how the brain tricks you or makes false conclusions. The researchers themselves must be very careful when interpreting the data.

There are also many documented cases of mind over matter. Where a mother was able to lift a car off her child to rescue him. Or someone who was told they would never walk again, does. Or the miraculous curing of some fatal disease.

What you can Conceive and Believe, you can Achieve

All I can say is that I have experienced great things since applying it's principles. Money is coming in from unexpected places. I have found a career that I really enjoy and fits with my view of life. As I concentrate on improving my health, it is improving. I even find I am sitting up straight without effort while at my keyboard. I'd been trying to improve my posture by force without success for years.

I've also been disappointed. While my overall health is improving, I am not losing the weight I expected. I am working to figure out why, but weight loss is not a priority right now.

Against the Law of Attraction - the Secret

I can't believe that everyone that is caught in a earthquake, tornado or 20 car piled up on the expressway thought the tragedy into existence.

I have a problem believing my grandson, or his parents, thought his pre-natal kidney problems into existence. I think there are other laws in effect that we don't yet understand.

The law of gravity existed and was used by everyone long before Sir Isaac Newton developed the 'Law'. Everyone that threw a rock or shot an arrow used it. But like how the law of aerodynamics or magnetic force can 'bend' the law of gravity by having airplanes fly and magnets pick metal up from the floor. I'm sure there is another force that can and does 'bend' or go Against the Law of Attraction.

Maybe there's a law of randomness, or a part of the chaos theory that accounts for some of the stuff that happens to us. Or maybe it's the Law of Attraction that 'bends' the law of randomness. Not everyone that was affected by the hurricane Katrina, that wiped out New Orleans a few years ago, thought that hurricane and it's destruction into existence.

Against the Law of Attraction - Is your glass half empty or half full?

I do believe that we attract negative events with negative thoughts. I saw my father think himself into a fatal illness. For years he would have this weird problem on occasion. He would get dizzy and his speech would slur. The family and doctors all thought that it was psychosomatic, because it would only occur when something came up that he didn't want to do, like go to church. He would swear up and down that he really did want to go, but when he went, he got sick.

This sickness moved on to other events, like visiting relatives. He went to many doctors and had many tests and they all concluded it was in his head. But it was an actual physical manifestation! He was physically ill!

Coincidence? Maybe. I know a single anecdote doesn't validate The Law of Attraction. But, there have been many psychology experiments that document how thoughts adjust peoples reality.

Some tests show that people will notice what they think about. You listen to a speech and you hear derogatory (or uplifting) comments about something you are sensitive about. Others probably heard the same speech. Heard the same words, said in the same way and didn't notice anything derogatory.

If you look for prejudice, you will see prejudice. If you look for sexism, you will see sexism. If you think the world is against you, you will 'see' all kinds of things to reinforce your belief.

IN the augment Against the Law of Attraction, don't forget the placebo effect. People's health improves because they think the medicine works, whether or not there was any medicine.

So, I do believe that if we don't control or focus our thoughts we leave ourselves open for the randomness factor. Just like if you don't steer a boat, the wind and currents will push you around until you suddenly find yourself crashing on the rocks. It's much harder to get back on course if you didn't have a course in the first place.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes. -William James

I have used the Law of attraction to acquire the job of my dreams. at least my dreams at that point in my life. I have different dreams now.

I was out of work after the company I worked for was bought by another company. I wanted to be able to continue working in my field, but not to be stuck in a specialty within a large company. I wanted to be able to do a wide verity of work within my field.

I wrote out the intention and repeated it every morning and evening. I got a job in a small company near my home for more money than I had ever earned before. And the position that I got, didn't even exist before I sent them my resume!! That's The Law of Attraction at work.

Then I used it to get the house of my dreams. Then some extra money to replace things like the carpeting.

I think it should be a part of everyone's personal development plan. Along with The Power of Belief, the power of intention and Manifesting Abundance.

Consciously using the Law of Attraction is like steering your boat. The wind and currents may push you around, but as long as you can steer, you will get to port and not crash upon the rocks. So grab your map, plot your trip, and steer to your hearts delight.
