Is Law of Attraction Evil?
I believe there are two sides to the Law of Attraction. There is the original version of law of attraction (the one that Napoleon Hill spoke of in Law of Success back in 1928). It is this version of LoA that propelled Think and Grow Rich into a massively popular book read by millions. It also created many self-made millionaires. All personal development concepts (goal setting, affirmations, etc.) comes from this version of LoA.
The other side of Law of Attraction comes from the New Age community (which is broken down into many factions and organizations -- it is not a religion specifically and it is not a cohesive unit). In short, the comments I'm making here represent a segment of this New Age community and is not meant to represent everyone within it.
There is a segment of the New Age community who have adopted traditional Law of Attraction principles and promote them heavily. They also practice various forms of religious and non-religious rituals that would be considered wrong (in a religious context) to most Christians (as well as people in other religions who believe in a higher power as the creator of all that is).
Again, this is not a statement about religion and is not meant to spark a religious debate. But, I can't present my case without stating the major premise and ideas as they relate to religion.
The point is, most of the people promoting this New Age version of LoA are involved in things that most people of religion and conscience should stay away from (channeling, "messages from God", some forms of religious and non-religious chanting, some forms of meditation, etc).
The problem is that some people look at this New Age version of LoA and say: "That's Law of Attraction." No it is not. That is a group of people who believe a certain way and are using Law of Attraction for their own purposes.
It is concerning when some people believe that what they see is all that exists. I agree that the New Age version is not something I would practice and I don't recommend it to anyone. So, for the record, when you hear me talk about Law of Attraction, I am not talking about the New Age version.
Here is what LoA is not:
- A "get stuff" mechanism
- sit and think happy thoughts so that your desires will be fulfilled
- mystical magical powers
- Any ritual belonging to any form of worship or religion
- Channeling
I agree that these things have no place in any person's life, religious or otherwise. But, just because a certain group of people mix these things with LoA doesn't make LoA wrong. That's my opinion on this. Looking forward to reading yours. (**if there are any here who believe in the New Age version and use the things I mentioned above, I am not judging you as a person-- we just have different beliefs -- so please do not judge me for that**)
