I haven’t exactly read up on this but I’ve had at least 10 people tell me how one’s whole life is based on the laws of attraction.
So from what I know the law of attraction basically states that if you believe something will happen, then you end up attracting it towards yourself. If you believe you will make a million dollars, the universe will conspire and you will attract a million dollars.
I guess this is what was once called a self fulfilling prophecy. But the premise was of course much more realistic. And that is if you believe something bad enough, you consciously and sub consciously start working towards that goal. So much so that it actually happens. It is the power of the right or wrong attitude. It’s like if you believe hard enough that you will fail, how can you ever succeed with that attitude? Obviously you are gonna fail. If you are darn sure you will win, you will! Because then all your actions are directed towards that goal.
IMO it is more the law of determination or the law of belief than the law of attraction at work here.
But of course people need something to believe in. This force at work … outside of their reality .. something that makes things happen. So doesn’t that make the laws of attraction just another phrase to describe God? Except of course that is such a taboo word for some and people are so off religion nowadays. So why not come up with a beter explanation and call it the laws of attraction. Why say it is God giving you what you want when you can say … why it is the law of attraction.
You still believe in something … just with a more modern twist.
