Answer 1

Sounds like magical thinking. Magical thinking is described in anthropology, psychology and cognitive science as causal reasoning that often includes such ideas as the law of contagion, correlation equalling causation, the power of symbols and the ability of the mind to affect the physical world.

Magical thinking is often intensified in mental illnesses such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), clinical depression or schizotypal personality disorder

Psychometric evidence has been obtained showing a correlation between psychosis and magical thinking.

It is true to a point--if you often hold forth on a given position (ie, I like this political candidate, the Bears are the best) you will attract people of the same mind set. But to say thought alone causes things to happen, no. (As much as I wish it were true sometimes.)

Interesting question, star for you!

Answer 2

Law of attraction, is basically the fact that opposites attract, protons and electrons, thus positively and negatively charged particles. This statement occurs in cheesy soaps when two people who are completely different hook up or are at least attracted to one another. It doesn't really affect the human race except maybe if women are electrons and men are protons which attract each other. Gay people are neutrons and have a neutral charge. LOL

Answer 3

Yes and whats interesting it works for you as well. In my own life these principles have made every part more joyful. Money, health, and happiness are much more simple to achieve. The law of attraction which is being taught in a modern context by Ester Hicks as Abraham, by Neil Donald Walsh in Conversations with god, and Wayne Dryer the power of intention. Is an incredibly old idea. Basically it is this. God does not exist outside of us but is all things. Even us. What we focus intently on(thought) what we feel about it(universal heart) and what we know about it creates a point of attraction for like things.
Some examples of this are seen in particle physics and sub atomic research. Lots of heated argument out there. Honestly wikepedia is a good starting place. To read about Kettle Bottle, Dark energy. quantum wave functions. I really love Dr Allen Wolf PhD.
In history we see this in Egypt with the Book of Thoth, then the Hermetic learning's of the Emerald tablet. Then the Alchemist and the Free masons.Believe me an idea that states every man is equal and as power full as a Pope, Pharaoh, King, or Empire has been met with violence.
Conversely these ideas have been the heart of every Renaissance in history.
But so you don't have learn to understand something complicated I will put it simply. You are part of God. What you ask for by thought, focus, feeling and intent, is what you bring to you. If you ask it is given. People like LAO because at a very beginning level of understanding you can see a incredible change in the type of life experience you are having. You become responsible for your own happiness and health. Being happy regardless of circumstances becomes easier each day. You find that God/Source or any name you like here becomes a deep personal friend. Can you do this through other means ....yes. I have seen these exact teachings within the Bible, The Koran, the Torah, and everybody else for that matter. I find Universal truths tend to be that Universal. Available to not just some wise select few but to all people. Using these ideas to affect change in ones own life is a great deal of work. You can never once create a thing with intent and still be happy and healthy. Its just one way that works too. Listen to your own heart and mind they are your path to joy.

Answer 4

aah the secret. yes i live by this book. positive thinking is a door that opens many oppertunities.
i used it once to see if it works and i tell you IT DOES.
its a small thing but here it goes.
well i live in an appartment and there is like a scerurity door at the bottom whitch is quite difficult to open. so everyday when im on my school bus i use THE LAW OF ATTRACTON and concerntrate on the door being open for me when i come home.
i was shocked at first but it really worked. everyday either the door keeper will be there to open it or someone has left it open.

Answer 5

Yes, & it works for everyone all the time. Just because they are not conscious of it working does not mean it does not work. How many times do you hear someone say, "Why does this keep happening to me". Using the law of attraction only means that you make a decision to be conscious of what you attract instead of unconscious to it.
Blessings.
