The Law of Attraction has been around for quite a while now, with roots that stem back into the 1800s, along with the rise of New Age Spirituality.
But with Rhonda Byrne’s film, “The Secret” that was promoted extensively by Oprah Winfrey, the Law of Attraction has reached whole new heights of popularity. This in addition to the continuous popularity and sales of Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”, have created a large following of believers in the Law of Attraction and the idea that our thoughts and feelings are able to quite literally change the reality we are living in.
Which begs the question… does the law of attraction work? Can I truly manifest the life I want?
In the first part of this two-part series I’ll be taking a look into the actual philosophy behind the Law of Attraction, the supposed “science” behind this belief, and potential explanations for why it can sometimes seem like our thoughts and feelings are able to change our reality.
In the second part of this two-part series, I’ll be taking a look at the New Age Spirituality industry, the gurus, and where the money flows. Because make no mistake: this is no small business. Individuals like Rhonda Byrne, Esther Hicks, Napoleon Hill, have made millions from promoting this ideology. But how trustworthy are these people, and is there a darker truth behind these seemingly innocent, “optimistic” individuals?

Well, I mean, like I live in San Diego. And where I live there are all these dumb yuppies who would love this childish belief that “EVERYTHING is beautiful!” I mean, like this one woman who really annoyed me at a literature class I took many many years ago. She had to spin everything so it could be tied up all nicely in a bow like the end of a Disney movie. The problem is that real life is not like a TV sitcom where everything magically falls into place at the end of the day. Is it really “bad” to think about some things not working out so great? No, you’re just being realistic. I mean, you don’t have to be a total pessimist if you’re able to look at different shades of gray. But there are all these dumb-fucks out there who just have to have this kind of “Pollyanna” type bullshit view of the world that I probably haven’t had since kindergarten.

Positive thinking and picturing out the life you want leading to motivation to work hard on it in itself is not bad and it works on many people. My problem with these are people who take advantage of people who are trying to turn their lives around and be better by taking their hard earned money and gaslighting them into action. No one can really truly change you but yourself.

@Jamesjani600 The Law of Attraction strikes again today in Ukraine: "A 64-year-old woman and a young couple died. Their little son still remains under the rubble of the house," And some 10 days ago. a 2 day old child was killed. Must have been all these negative thoughts and expecting bad things to happen, right? Especially, the two day old baby must have sent out a powerful negative thought to attract the Russian missile.

@MrMarinus18 Жыл бұрын

I do think its bad. You need negative thoughts as much as positive thoughts. And the amount you can change yourself on your own is very limited. You need to be open to it and put in the effort but you need help from others. Changing yourself is a team effort and often is never finished. You always need friends or a loved one or husband/wife. People who can help keep you in check and who depend on you for the same thing. The important part though is that it's a team effort, it's not solely you or the people helping you. It's both of you and they should do it out of actual care for you as friends and family. Such a thing is known as a community.

19:40 I don't know, I used to believe in it but now I feel negative emotions have their place as well. Suppressing them just is bad in every level and you should embrace your negative emotions just as much as your positive emotions. If I hurt someone I will allow myself to feel guilt over it, if someone I love dies I will allow myself to feel mourning for them, if something big is coming up I will allow myself to be nervous about it. That kind of is what made discarding the law of attraction so liberating to me. It is allowing myself to feel freely again.

@shamanic_nostalgia Жыл бұрын

As sensitive biological organisms embedded in incredibly complex systems it's perfectly natural for us to feel all kinds of emotions. Ultimately any judgement on whether something feels good or bad is just a thought, an interpretation, but no to be confused with the raw embodied sensations occurring in the moment. I think the idea that we aren't supposed to experience much intensity ('negative' emotions/ sensations)is the toxic lie, and the idea that there is part of us that is supposed to be constantly regulating and judging and editing and censoring our thoughts and emotions, it's a cruel conceptual framework to live in and it ultimately divides you against yourself.

That's because the self help gurus only give you half the equation and pretend it doesn't involve hard work. You can't just be positive in the face of adversity. You have to Develop the ability to process negative emotions a certain way, which is where the skill.comes in. They don't ever mention this because it's very difficult to achieve. It is possible though, it does work if you learn how to think the right way. You have to read old books to actually learn though. Philosophy and occultism hold a ton of keys.

I often come back to this video to remind myself of the dangers of this concept. I grew up with someone who raised me on this for a majority of my life. Even to the point that when I began having mental health issues that affected me physically, "thinking positive" was the surefire only way to "cure" me. I have the help I need and still consider myself quite optimistic, though my advice to anyone who's offered a "one and only way" out, proceed with caution and trust your intuition as to whether it's personally working for you or not. You know what's best for you.

I think this all goes back to the fact that anything can become a bad thing if practiced improperly. Manifesting, is not the same as toxic positivity. There’s a crucial element taken out of this equation as well.. When bad things happen, it’s not always our fault. I think the proper way to go about it,is to let go of the thoughts which bring you down and don’t serve you. Instead of telling yourself “I’ll never amount to anything”, which turns off your ability to dream, you can say “ Man, this really hurts, but one day things will get better”. Allow the feelings to go through you and have your pity party. Then visualize what you want for your future and make strides toward those goals. It’s also a good time to take accountability to see which areas you may need to grow. If you believe in a higher power, you ask them for help and trust that what you Need will happen when it’s meant to be. Things aren’t always going to go our way even when we do it all “correctly”, but we just keep on going and don’t lose sight of our dreams and who we are. We can’t lose sight of God either (If you believe in him). I hope this helped.

Another problem I see with the fundamental “philosophy” behind the LOA is that it profoundly encourages people to try and achieve their goals only by thinking and not actually acting. Apart from being dangerously individualistic and relativistic. When I was young and impressionable a friend showed me the film The Secret and we believed it all: my mental architecture was fully reorganized by this belief system and I started trying to get the things I wanted by obsessively thinking about them (with all the guilt issues you very accurately comment), especially the love of a girl I liked (I also thought much about her because I liked her 🤣 obviously). But getting to the ultimate consequences of this philosophy, it became that I was the center of the universe (like all reality was my subjective universe) and as that I had the right to get what I wanted, and only by thinking about those things. I had the right to get this girl, regardless of her own free will and preferences. In this universe she owed to submit to me, if I thought enough and correctly about her to make the law of attraction work. Ultimately, believing in the law of attraction is believing one has the right to anything and anybody, and only by thinking and desiring (its a bit childish in that aspect). You don’t need to make real efforts, you don’t need to stick to a moral law. (Sorry for bad English)

@agirrium I left yoga (not the physical poses but the school of philosophy) when I suddenly realised I had become completely self-absorbed. I was ignoring my marriage and my son. So, I gave it up and followed Jesus instead. I had even trained in yoga teaching and had been teaching it. I mainly taught the philosophy, as well as the poses. I had also been studying with Swami Jnaneshvara, an adept of Swami Rama. When he had berated me for the last time that I took it, I decided enough was enough and I left him behind too. He is a false prophet. I have never looked back.

I think that some "populizers of science" are also to blame to some degree, as they often try to over-simplify some of the most complex concepts of theoretical physics, therefore, some people take juste the superficial/philosophical representation of the concepts, thinking that they now "understand" quantum physics and quantum theory.

And certainly, science only knows a limited part of how things work. I have not written any other statement about it. The only thing I point out is that scientific claims are often used in the spiritual world and that it is almost always pseudoscience that is used. A pity as there is very exciting science that has been done and is being done on subjects that could be used by spiritual people to strengthen their faith. I also follow the spiritual world as I am interested in things that science cannot answer. Often there is disdain for science within the spiritual world which is a great shame as I see these two subjects as two sides of the same coin. And as I wrote, many spiritual people believe they have found "the truth" while most scientists are humble enough (not all though) to see themselves as the eternal seekers. An answer only brings new questions.

I was attending a new thought church when 'The Secret' came out. Everyone at this church was raving about how wonderful this was. I felt uncomfortable and the more I thought about it, the more I felt it was a bad thing. There was no secret here, but this information was not mainstream and I knew that many people would be harmed by it. I had been studying metaphysics and comparative religion for decades. The 'Secret' totally dumbed down and twisted some things and also led to a great deal of apathy concerning any real sane way of living and hurting real community. Including no one paid any attention to what was happening politically (new thought people) or to things becoming more and more corrupt. Everyone was in their own little bubble working on 'psychically' influencing others to do what they wanted, one way of manifesting. I later left the new thought church. If someone wants to manifest something, focus on it and then get off your butt and do something.

I have sat and listened to it out of frustration and plea that my Aunt would recognize that she is successful because of her ability rather than these "frequencies." It does not help that these deviants use out-of-context/false quotes and mystic, transcendence type music behind all their one-liners! Good god, it's incredibly annoying! A criticism that came to mind after watching your overview is this: If you can manifest things such as money by changing your frequency, would that mean money is inherent within the universe? You do not need to think long to recognize that currency is strictly human. Also, that bit with the man saying that logic is holding us back is disturbing!

I got deep into it and spirituality when I was like 18. I did it originally to manifest a girl I liked. Obviously, she didn't liked me back and I ended up getting depressed and having mental breakdown because of it. I be in the subreddit and they be like "oh, just keep trying it's only part of the story." The real advice I should have had was just move on to someone else. It would have save me a lot of time and mental health wouldn't have gone bad. I do believe in manifestation but not in the way these quack think. If they believe in manifestation, they would not be charging money for seminars and courses. Behind every spiritual and LOA is a marketer like the quote said. If I was a manifestor, I would never charge money and hand out free books/guides. Hell, I manifest the lottery winnings.

It's all a mindset. It's not that if you manifest it it will come. You have to put action toward it. The positive thoughts should only be to keep you pushing forward toward your goal. So I think you misunderstand. If you just write it down and do nothing, then nothing will happen. If you go through life with a negative mindset that's all you're going to ever experience. Life is hard and it's hard to stay positive, but how else do we get through life, if we don't believe in ourselves just enough? I used to think the Law of Attraction was crap, but I misunderstood at first. It wasn't that I needed to manifest $100,000 dollars, but more like, how can I reach a goal of eventually making $100,000 dollars. And I simply did research on how to better handle my assets. Once I got that down, I learned about investing, and started to use my job to help set up a 401k and an IRA Roth, and learned how to budget. Etc. The point is, through the law of attraction I learned that with a positive mindset and a clear goal I could make something happen, but other factors, played a huge role in that. Now, I work my same job, been there six years, learned about the LoA three years ago during the pandemic and I'm debt free, my credit is at a 725 and I no longer live paycheck to paycheck. I eat at home, I live a minimal lifestyle and I have my sacrifices that I've made to live a much simpler life. I understand that I don't need $300 shoes, I don't need to drive a benz. So technically, I havent made $100,000 but with the things Ive taught myself, and because I write down my goals with positivity, I know I will reach that $100,000 more likely through my retirement--but, I've never been as financially free as I am now. And I did it adjusting and putting a few things into place and using the basic concept of the LoA.

Well I never encountered any more cruel critics than the people living accordingly to the system we live in and who would blame you for everything and see you as total failure if you cannot meet their standards for instance you are depressed and I never encountered more positive people and more positive comments than these below videos about the law of attraction for free. What I understand from the law of attraction is that we are living in a matrix, a dream and the key is to take control over it as much as you can by recognizing our inside. It's all about changing and widening our perspective and also about changing our attitude toward things. Bad things are more and more like shadows for me now and they really seem to disappear, I just don't get so much annoyed when I encounter them. I stopped being constantly miserable, it also helped me to cope with aggression, the past etc. It really works for me. Several years ago a well positioned psychotherapist and psychologist in my country scammed me because she was like a "loving" parent to me and as I was abused in my childhood I was constantly looking for a savior throughout my all life, she took additional money for me claiming that I am very difficult patient for instance. Putting all my trust to some institutional entity like psychologists seemed very logical and reasonable to me, but being logic and reasonable never really brought me anything positive in my life, just the opposite. I don't think that people who really believe in the law of attraction and are aware of themselves could be scammed because it's about all believing in yourself and being aware of yourself. When you are aware of yourself ,the golden rule like do not harm approach to the others seems automatically close to you so it's not about the power to do the evil. That psychologist wouldn't have the ability to scam me now because now I feel I am the one who takes the responsibility and controls my reality and I don't feel a victim anymore of anyone.

I think it has a lot to do with the people today on youtube "teaching" the law of attraction. In Napoleon Hill's book, he doesn't talk about just vizualising your goals and that makes them come true. There is a LOT of things left you need to to. Have an organized plan, be persistent, educate yourself, instead of walking around praying it's gonna happen. Many people get this wrong. You are not manifesting anything if you are just sitting in your room doing nothing but vizualising yourself doing it. The Law of attraction is much more complex. That's why I would recommend anyone to READ and EDUCATE themselfes on the subject. Don't just watch a youtube video that says "visualize it and get it". No, you need to get every piece of the puzzle right. I believe in the law of attraction because of the actual logic behind it, and I have manifested many things, not by sitting in my room thinking and not doing like it sounded you did, but actually trying for real.

Having ocd, the law of attraction haunted me for years, as i learned about it very young when i was very impressionable. It terrified me that my intrusive thoughts were capable of magically manifesting, against my will. That my brain was capable of materializing things i didn't have control of and didn't want to think. It brought me immense anxiety and dread, and tho it's very hard to get out of this rabbit hole I'm glad I'm climbing my way up and out of it.

The thing about LOA is the constant goalpost moving. 1. "You weren't clear on what you wanted to manifest." So you write clear manifestation goals. 2. "You didn't frame them in a positive way." So you write to remove any negative language. 3. "You didn't believe in what you were manifesting." Well, this is unquantifiable but you put more effort into believing. 4. "You didn't feel the feelings of having what you wanted." Again, unquantifiable. So you feel more? 5. "You have deep seated blocks that you need to work on." And on and on the goal posts move.

If I tell an astrologist I'm a pisces, they'll say "you're very emotional", when I tell them I'm actually not, they say "oh, it's your sagittarius moon that's causing you to be this and this" and if that doesn't match me at all, they'll look at my rising sign, venus, jupiter, mars...

"The Secret" is one of the examples that some books can be very toxic, I used to worship that book like a bible, I thought that it could change my life in a positive way but I ended up living a nightmare for almost 3 years while forcing myself to think positive all the time, otherwise a single negative thought could destroyed the "positive vibe" (according to the book) and I will attract bad events into my life. The fact is, "law of attraction" is just simply an idea that whatever we focus on we tend to see it more, that is it, there is no human magnet, no karma, no forcing yourself to think positive 24/7 even when you're sleeping, no affirmations or any BS that book taught you . It is just an illusion that you can control everything and your emotional all the time while the fact is it is normal if we being through struggle, we feel bad, we feel sad, it's all normal, we did not "attracted" them and it is not our fault, and yet "The Secret" convinced us that it is our fault that we were sick, unhappy, poor, that we attracted all of those bad things in our life and we must gain the control again by been positive . All I can tell you guys is don't be a foolish like me and got hooked by this book, if you try to control the things that cannot be controlled, something has to give, and in this case it will be your happiness.

But will you make good choices? That depends on how much you understand what works for you and what doesn't, its like semen retention or no fap, which is obviously placebo though with biological advantages, however it works for those looking to feel confident for achieving something they think others can't, refraining from sex , that feeling of being able to do something others can't do in the society will surely boost your confidence and hence give u all other emotions tthat comes with confidence, such as positivity, clarity of mind and thoughts, you get my drift, doesn't mean there re no heavy fuckers who don't constantly feel motivated or confident, its just what they have chosen to be true for them ,you just have to choose these things clearly because truely they will detect your next choice or your understanding of the choices presented to you to make. Don't make those choices to belief things that have too many obstacles that can sabotage you due to lack on consistency or conviction in believing it , they will indeed haunt you. My advice is, Choose God, and seek his kingdom, you can't choose him and go wrong, ever, if you don't believe in God, then you re in deep shit, because u won't be able to actually believe or trust in anything which is dangerous, u will unstable.

Which one of them states: " God, even though I'm as powerful as you are, please guide me" ? Only thing you can choose is how to (re)act. You don't choose what happens to you, even though sometimes it is influenced by your action. And what Bible is teaching in this regard is to actually accept things that happened to you as the will of God, and do the best you can while still honoring him and staying humble. Thinking that your thoughts can directly influence reality is far from humble. My advice to you is to (re)read the Bible and learn who is Almighty God and who are just his humble servants. And pray, for this is a really humbling practice. And to those who don't believe in God: just realize that you only responsible for things you have direct control over. You can try to manipulate some things indirectly in your life, but never expect anything out of it.

It’s not always a miracle cure, especially when it comes to something like cancer. Your mind state does have a profound effect on your physiology though. That’s what the placebo effect is. Also, there are so many more factors involved in health other than just activity and “eating clean”(Which is very convoluted in itself). You also have to take into account the environment someone was/is in (Were they living in a house that had undetected mold growing up?). There are vegetables that absorb harmful chemicals from the soil(Broccoli for example). Did they eat non organic? Did they eat high carbs and sugars? These feed cancer cells. There’s so much to account for when it comes to someone’s health. But what we do know, is that having a sense of belonging and positive mindset create better health outcomes for people statistically. I’m so sorry for your loss. Please don’t give up on having a great outlook on life because of this.

There is even a known case of a person believing the BS written in the book "the Secret", who behaved according to its teachings but lost her life. Cathy Goodman, a cancer patient thought that this LOA thing is a big deal, but it was not. LOA is not about the placebo effect; it has become a cult belief. Unfortunately, celebrities like Oprah and Bob Proctor are advertising this toxic positivity, and it has become like a cult belief, i.e. if you don't buy it, you're negative or anti-progressive. This is the problem, not the general idea you talked about. Lastly, I thank you for your sympathetic words.

I was watching the joe rogan podcast with J prince. He said think and grow rich helped him. After finnishing it, i bought the book it was only 8 euro free shiping. However i already downloaded a workbook version of it, and it says exactly what you said. 1) Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire.2) Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire.3) Establish a definite date by which you intend to possess the money you desire.4) Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once - whether you areready or not - to put this plan into action.5) Write out clearly and concisely all of the information in Steps 1 to 4 above.6) Read your statement aloud twice daily and, as you read, see and feel and believe yourselfalready in possession of the money.

@@mementomori6396 Oh yes I don't mean to be a cynic but think and grow rich was completely fake and Napoleon Hill died broke though what worked for me was 1.Visualisation 2.Intense belief with emotion and faith 3. Gratitude (this is by far is the most important and is crucial for any success)
