think really powerful idea all-round. “taking note of the evidence” is something i’ve always done but not really long term – so really cool to keep note of it. find it really helps when, like above, you’re feeling down and feels like you’ve sucked forever. then look at pictures, notes, annecdotes – the evidence.

power stuff
gave it a stumble.

all the best

My experience has been very different, so I hope you don’t mind that I share it here.

The Law of Attraction does work–Patanjali mentioned it two thousand years ago in the Yoga Sutra, and the ACIM says thoughts can move mountains, and the Buddha said everything we are, we have thought. However, in the cluttered mind, the LOA cannot work, and this is why it doesn’t work for most people. If we look at the LOA without narcissism or egotism, we can see why it doesn’t work even for desperately starving. If it doesn’t work for the 50 million children who are dying of starvation–well, it’s not terribly surprising it’s not going to work to get a job.

I have been out of job for two years, so I sympathize. I have been out of a job because the LOA worked for me. I wasn’t meant to have job–other far more beautiful things have unfolded.

Joe Vitale was one of the original pushers of the LOA in The Secret and today he regrets it. He says LOA intentions are actually limiting. LOA intentions are narcissistic and egotistical; it cannot be any other way, and they obfuscate divine inspiration.

I found my true passion not from the LOA but through awakening. The LOA is very limiting. You rarely hear the enlightened talk about the LOA. Adyashanti says he uses it to get good parking places, otherwise it’s useless. Arjuna Ardagh says the LOA is only works after awakening, but using it after awakening is like a billionaire begging in the streets.

Awareness, and Release–and life unfolds miraculously, and we see why the Buddha and Patanjali don’t think very much of the LOA.
