  • 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.

          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.
