LAW OF ATTRACTION

flashie: sadly this isnt about my wig.

ive seen this philosophy crop up loads lately. its genesis for me was finding thoths emerald tablets on some wacky website, next a freind asking about the movie 'the secret', and now i have a kooky hiphop motivational tape about same laws of attraction...

my questions are, do any of you all subscribe to the notion? and if im some kid working for a rice grain per annum in a nike factory could i attract a lottery win? could my entire factory do it together and next week buy the place from my limo using my iphone?

candyrivers: The only laws of attraction I know about are where bodies attract each other.
I am a bit thick Flashie, I dont understand the question.

blonde goddess: one of the things with the law of attraction is that you follow your inner guidance to achieve what you want. so no you won't necessarily win the lotto overnight and you certainly won't win if like me you don't play it. its much deeper than that. you've still got to work towards things e.g you want to attract your dream job. you visualise it but then you still need to actually apply for it when it comes up. it won't just pick you out and employ you.

candyrivers: so its yet another power of prayer, power of positive thinking, nlp, think yourself slim sort of deal.
I think it wont hurt you, but I would be surprised if it actually made a difference other than a psychological one.
but hey spose thats good enough.

bekie: I'm not BS-ing the secret changed my life. I was in a really bad place, totally couldn't get myself together and had got to my wits end. The doctors were too busy to fit me in for weeks and I was so desperate I had made a very costly private appointment for the Monday (it was the Friday three days earlier). I honestly didn't know what I was going to do without help or where I would end up. Someone passed me the DVD at the end of my shift on the Friday and went home and put it on. Two hours later I was a changed person. I cancelled my appointment, pulled my finger out of my arse and took responsibility for my life. The secret teaches you that you are where you are right now as a direct result of all of the decisions you have made previously. If you are depressed, ill, sad, poor, suicidal whatever it’s because you have put yourself there. AND IT’S TOTALLY RIGHT. As soon as I realised this and started to focus on where I wanted my life to be instead of focusing on where it was, everything changed. It was instant and it was amazing. Its not easy, you have to stay focused and make a few tough decisions, and obviously life gets in your way - sticking obstacles in front of you all of the time. But I guarantee it works. If you focus on what you want - you get it. You just have to be utterly committed.

♥♥♥♥KittyCat♥♥♥♥: I am also a devotee of the secret. I have my ups and downs but it has helped me to set my goals and see my future as possible. I find it really helpful.

franklin1950: beware when " manipulating ' the law of attraction " another law ," the law of unintended consecquenses ".

silmarilien: The law of attraction is a methaphysics concept. There are seven laws, they all spiral towards the firs: metalism, everything is in your mind. Meaning not that you're insane and imagining things but that the way you rationalize the world around you affects you directly and you alone. Some people seem to be lucky all the time, good things always seem to come their way, others seem the complete opposite.

What the law of attraction shows is that where you're mind is that's what you become, if you are constantly thinking negative, only problems you will see crop up. If as rightfully said before you concentrate on where you want to be defying all evidence of the contrary and focus your mind on only positive aspects of everything (second law everything has 2 poles) you will attract this, ergo you will see it more in your life.

If you concentrate powerfully on it you can actually materialize things in the sense that what you have wanted will come. It is not immeadiate nor is it a magic solution, it is work. Start by monitoring your thoughts one day and you'll be amazed at just how used you are to everything going and being wrong.

The law of attraction only works when powerful feelings are attached to he new mindset. If you feel unhappy but are thinking "happy" thoughts you will fool noone and still be miserable, seing just that everywhere you go.

This can be a long long matter to discuss. Hope it helps.

Hellboy39: I found it worked one time as well. I wished for 10 bucks, Acted like I got 10 bucks, and thought of ordering chinese with the ten bucks. 2 weeks later as I was taking a piss in my toilet, in the trash can bin was a purple (Canadian here) 10 dollar bill. I then ordered chinese The Law of attraction is definitly up and real.
