is the law of attraction crap or just my thinking?

The Law of Attraction is a universal principle. You can apply the law of attraction on many levels and in all aspects of your life. The law of attraction even works in the after life, but that’s another subject. It is a principle that is universal and timeless. It works whether you consciously or unconsciously apply it. It works whether you consciously or unconsciously know it. It can be and has been stated and articulated in many different ways. It is a principle that Jesus Christ was teaching to his disciples.
I can hear you now, whatchu talkin’ about reginaldc? Everybody knows that the law of attraction is an invention of the devil by the people that came up with the secret! How can you say our beloved Jesus was teaching the law of attraction? So how can you make such a blasphemous statement? Baloney!
This is how I can make such a blasphemous statement. The Law of Attraction states ; you will attract, into your experience, all things that vibrate in harmony with you. In other words, like energy attracts like energy.
As stated before there are many ways that this law can manifest itself in your life. It is universal. It works on any level of existence. Jesus was attempting to teach universal laws and principles. But because of how he spoke people were confused. How can I say people were confused by what Jesus taught? Let’s go to the bible.
In the NIV bible John 16:25 Jesus states, “though I have been speaking to you figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will speak to you plainly about my father.”

The Truth about the Law of Attraction
This scripture says Jesus spoke in code in many instances. He spoke figuratively and in parables. Because of this people of the day did not always understand him. There are scriptures that the disciples would ask Jesus, what do you mean? In the NIV bible John 16:18, “they kept asking, what does he mean by a little while? We don’t understand what he is saying.” This scripture is but one example of the disciples not understanding what Jesus meant after he made a statement. Therefore, my statement about disciples not understanding is not blasphemous, it says in the bible they did not understand.
You may be skeptical about the Law of Attraction. However, when you realized that the bible and Jesus Christ was trying to impart these same concepts you may gain another level of faith. I wanted to learn all I could because I realized that if these new age concepts were actually real they would change my life. When I realized that many of the statements that we spout these days are really universally based, I gained another level of faith. What was even more extraordinary for me was that science has proven the Law of Attraction. I can be as skeptical as anyone. However, if science, religion and spirituality all agree on the same principle then skepticism has to be blotted out.
Unfortunately too many people believe that the Law of Attraction is simply hocus pocus. Many self help books and gurus give you the words but do not take into account the underlying reasons why things are the way they are. In the bible instructions were given that people are just now beginning t understand. In the NIV bible:
Mark 11:24 says, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
These directions are telling you that you must visualize the end result before you have the result. You will attract what you think about.
I love the way Wayne Dyer puts it, “you must surround yourself in the conditions in which you wish to produce.”
The bible is not the ultimate dissertation on how we should live our lives. Religion wants to make the bible the ultimate choice for direction. But in many instances there are much deeper meanings behind the words. The bible does not go into detail. But you do have other resources that do go into detail. You have to fully integrate the universal laws. If you do not like how things are then you have to change. It is not simply New Age hocus pocus. The Law of Attraction is a scientific fact. You do not have to believe me, but you can now be aware that Jesus new something years ago.
Reginaldc is me
To call the Law of Attraction specious would be a complete understatement. There is nothing law-like about this “law”. Verifiable evidence? Challenging experiments?
What you have here is a colossal scam, which has attracted vast sums of money to a few scheming pockets. A few assholes then went on to get the support of the empress of village idiots Oprah, and the rest is history. Objective reality be damned!
The truth is that environmental factors will always be beyond our control. Some poor assholes will die of prostate cancer, no matter how positively they think. That’s not to discredit the power of positive thinking. But to claim that the Universe will answer your prayers…in 2010…is just preposterous. 6,000 years of civilization, and we are still that stupid?

It it always interesting to me when one believes they have the truth for all. What I do know is, if you believe as you do it is so. Your perception is your reality. It is created from an internal belief system. If you believe the law of attraction is a scam and does not work, then you will not perceive or be able to acknowledge when it does. You create your reality. Even you do not totally discount the power of positive thinking. Your truth, is your creation. Even if you do not believe it. It is gift of a consciousness that creates and is ever expanding its universe.
Thank you for taking the time to make your feelings known.:)
You’re right on Reginald Martin

Thank you Cindy.:)
The Law of Attraction is very real. Everything was created in perfect order. Animals, plants, the Universe don’t need to be told what to do or how to grow, the just do it naturally. The problem with humans is that we were created with free will and somehow we think that we need to control things in order for them to happen. All we have to do this think with emotion and belief and things will happen on thier own.
For example, I wanted a job that I loved doing and working by the ocean. I didn’t think about what kind of job by the ocean.I just saw myself enjoying looking at the ocean and being happy. Lord and behold I found a job working by the ocean which I absolutely loved. I didn’t go out looking for it. It fell into my lap when a friend told me about an opening for the job.I have many other stories as well where I just visualized what I wanted and it appeared.

Yes, Cindy I agree with you that the law of attraction is very real. I have had many experiences as you have. Small ones and major ones where i attracted what I needed and wanted into my experience. I know others that have done the same thing. After a while you realize it is so much more than positive thinking. There are formulas for manifesting your desires. It is incredible!
