  • Why are those bad? They can facilitate synchronicity as well as other law of attraction stuff.

    • You can’t facilitate synchronicity other than being in the right state of consciousness. You have zero control over it, can’t influence it, and if you actively look for it you won’t see it.

      • Right I agree, it's really tricky to pay attention to those in the moment when you have all the chemicals, hormones, stimuli, trains of thought, et al. going through your mind

        You have to be really in tune with yourself, your environment, what you're going for, what you objectively need... There's a lot to pay attention to, and to help *facilitate* synchronicity, that is, to proactively ensure its effectiveness, you can pay attention to the things that are going on around you, through all of those hectic moments where your consciousness goes from "observing yourself observing yourself observing yourself" to a purely reactive state of mind, while at the same time paying attention to all the possible connections you can make spiritually.

        A simple example, a man is upset his wife bought a car without talking to him about it. Then he goes to work and a woman there says she bought a car to her fathers disappointment.

        The less enlightened man would immediately side with the father, for whatever reason he so chooses.

        The type of person I am, and an example of what I described a few paragraphs above, I would see a person who wants to live their life as much as me and would rectify any misbehavior with my hypothetical wife.

        I know that's hard, trust me I know, but you really can help your conscious development by just paying more attention and not being afraid to correlate things, even if they end up wrong some times. And when they are wrong, you're immediately rewarded if you didn't let that assumption or presupposition have too much power over you.

        • Part of being in that state is not paying attention. The alert, attentive state is the state we are in while doing most things, that state hinders the noticing of synchronicity. It tends to occur most when you’re in that daydream type state where outside noise and movement are phased out, like when you’re reading a book for example.

          • For me it might be different, but I think I do that, I'm just using different words.

            I focus a lot and pretty intensely, and when I'm operating on a lower frequency I'm blinded to subtlety. If I'm on a higher frequency though, I can still be focused, and be open to allowing my neural pathways to illuminate synchronicities.

            I wouldn't call it a day dream for me, but it is a zenned out feeling I usually have with meditation.

            • Yeah it’s same thing just different wording, I was going to say it’s a similar state to a meditative one

    • Oh yeah? So how is the so called law of attraction working for you?

      • Pretty well. It seems like you don't believe in it? It's proven to exist, and it should be rather self evident, that the more you think about something the more importance it will have. Also take for example the ten thousand hours to become an expert in something, and the thirty days to make or break a habit. Time spent thinking about *something*, and willing a change into existence.

        The trials of the law of attraction is learning to build the right perception, definition, rationalization needed to actualize your goals. It can be easily dismissed as something phony, sure, but once you understand how to use it it really broadens your scope of reality.

        I personally liken it to some ancient farmer, planting a seed in my mind, an idea or objective, and letting it grow and flourish. If I'm meditating, I usually feel something moving in what I think is my pineal gland.

        To portray the process, I decide I want to lose weight, then I think about ways to lose it and how I'll look when I'm done, I feel fulfillment from making decisions that correlate with that, I start subconsciously eating better and craving healthier food, I eventually become a person with a healthier weight and diet.

        I think some people get confused when they say, "I want a million dollars" and the next day when they're still not a millionaire they ignorantly call the idea flawed. It works by allowing you to build up to things, not by giving you everything for nothing.

        • What you're describing has nothing whatsoever to do with the so-called "Law of Attraction" which for the charlatans who've made money selling books about it, does in fact mean you can get "attract" a million dollars with the power of your mind.

          You seem to be describing creative visualisation, which within reason can have positive effects, as long as what you're creatively visualising is in fact possible.

          • I've actually never heard of creative visualization, thank you for sharing it. I think I've used that technique, just didn't know it had a name.

            Some research into it though, and the two ideas are connected.

            https://www.successconsciousness.com/law-of-attraction-articles.html

            That site talks about both, and while the law of attraction is its own thing, creative visualization incorporates parts LoA

            • That reminds me of how some reiki "masters" incorporated other beliefs into reiki. Creative visualisation has been around for decades and decades, not so "law of attraction".

              • You believe the movement behind the law of attraction is corrupt?

                I've looked purely into the concepts and stuff on YouTube and Google, some sources were sold more on the rhetoric than the practice. There's a lot of that in the spiritual world, like fortune tellers who just happen to be really good at social psychology.

                I'm not part of an organized faith or anything, the information I've learned has just helped me become a more developed person.

      • Same as always has been proven to do, just fine.
