I'm not longer sure about some of the teachings. I'm like you Have Hope, I think it's just crazy to believe that thinking about dreadful things will make them happen. Someone gave me a good example of how ridiculous this is. Most people have some sort of fear about flying, yet planes are safer than cars as far as travel goes. The planes manage to stay in the air despite all the fearful thoughts. Even when there's turbulence, it still flies.

I've done a lot of things to try to get Law of Attraction to work for me. It just doesn't. I do think it's important to focus on the positives. And visualization is good for achieving goals. I think there's some good stuff as it relates to 'common sense'. But all this stuff about "raise your vibration" or you'll end up having bad luck is just crap! I struggle enough with my moods. I don't want to live my life like I'm causing misery for myself. I'm trying and there are things beyond my control. No matter how hard I try to believe it's in my so-called Vortex to have good fortune, bad things keep happening.

Also, I notice only in the metaphysical books does LOA work. When I go to forums, I see tons of people struggling. I think the authors are just trying to sell their books. It's all BS.
