It is high time we start Loving and Praying....

Please let us no longer remain prone to believing in hoaxes which have been thoroughly debunked years ago. Believing in a hoax like the law of attraction as evangelized in the book/video called The Secret, can cost you your life, and even help the power elite reign in the New World Order with little resistance, as there are many people who fail to act responsibly due in part to such misconceptions.

Law Of Attraction (The Secret) Debunked 101

As many of you know, presented in The Secret is the claim that the law of attraction works every time, so long as there is sufficient passion used in projecting a specific future outcome as though it has already taken place. Yet it is so easy to show that this simply cannot be true, as seen in the following 3 examples:

1) Almost every teenager at some point fantasizes about having passionate sexual relations with a celebrity. Their thoughts are so passionate in this endeavor that in many cases it even results at some point in a wet dream, at which point the mind is fooled (at least for a time) totally (and with as much passion as humanly possible) into believing the entire experience is real. Yet very rarely do these individuals actually end up having sexual relations with a celebrity in their lifetime.

2) Consider the person who every morning is deluged in fear of being late to work, and even finds themselves passionately speeding each day. Does this fear really become self fulfilling on a consistent basis for most/all such people? Does such fear really create traffic jams on a consistent basis? Is it the case that NONE of these people live in areas which only have occasional traffic jams? Are we to be gullible enough to believe that such people NEVER EVER actually make it to work on time? Conversely are people who lack such concerns able to avoid traffic jams as the law of attraction would also assert? Is it possible that a long traffic jam may include people from both camps? If so we are left with a fear/no fear paradox in which the law of attraction cannot possibly hold true.

3) Do most people who passionately fear the possibility of being stricken with a deadly snake or spider bite actually end up being killed by such causes (keep in mind that year after year the number one cause of death is doctors, who most people do not even fear)? Many such paranoid people may also fear the possibility of dying from a deadly disease, and/or a natural disaster like a tornado or being struck by lightening. So if the law of attraction is true will such a person inevitably die from one of these causes, and not from something unanticipated, like a freak accident, a mistake made by a doctor, or some other unanticipated thing? And what positive outcome did the law of attraction yield for all the ignorant and/or positive people of old who refused to fear the alleged coming of the great flood which has been documented by practically all cultures? The reality is that only the people who feared enough for their lives had any chance of surviving. What about the person who is equally afraid of each of the above scenarios? Will this person then at some point die of all such scenarios simultaneously? Do any of you seriously believe any of this stuff?

Folks, I'm here to tell you that if anything, it is far more likely that opposites attract, which stands in direct opposition to the law of attraction which asserts that negative thoughts yield negative consequences, and that positive thoughts (to the point of ignorance) yield positive results.

I mean think about it. If I am ignorant or unafraid of getting a bee sting and therefore decide to go mostly barefoot, odds are I will at some point get a bee sting on my foot - right? Conversely if I fear getting a bee sting and therefore always wear shoes when outside, the odds are that I will never get a bee sting on my foot - right?

Yet even though these things are self evident as shown above, many people still cling to their tendencies to cite an isolated string of luck or two, and subsequently claim erroneously that these events prove (at least to them) that the law of attraction really works. The obvious response to this is - SHOW ME THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.

And then there are the camps of people who say that the law of attraction cannot be taken as black and white but rather exists in the area of gray. They may also say that many people have not yet learned to tune into, and therefore utilize to their benefit, the energy of the universe, and may also cite several people who they believe can. And so again, the obvious response to this is - show me the scientific evidence. Without citing any knowledge of control group scientific evidence these people make no argument of substance, but rather instead show they have chosen to be deceived. It's like the blind leading the blind.

I mean lets be honest people, is it REALLY proper or in the best interest of the public, for anyone to publish to the world a theory void of any convincing statistics or application of the scientific method? Is it not clear that without any convincing proof that the theory actually works (even if only under some disclosed set of circumstances), that the theory then has NO ESTABLISHED VALUE? Yet this is exactly what I claim the authors of The Secret have done; they have published to the world a theory that has no established value.

And for those of you who like to make the area of gray argument, at what point will you acknowledge the law is not worth the time and effort put into it (and therefore stop making arguments in support of it)? For example, if science could somehow show that the theory gives you no better odds than flipping a coin would you then continue to try and utilize this theory in your day to day life? If you knew that you could only win at black jack 5% or 1% of the time would you continue to play black jack with your hard earned money? My point is that even if you could win 50% of the time (or possibly even slightly higher) it would still be a foolish endeavor because there are far better returns which can be made by embarking upon more tried and true ventures (like getting a job or starting a business for example).

Clearly the theory would not be so gray if only a simple experiment like the following were tried. Take two groups of say 20 people in each group, where people in one group were thought to be proficient in utilizing the theory, and the other 20 are picked at random. Give each group say a year (or some other predetermined period of time) to try their darnedest using the law of attraction to achieve some seemingly difficult goal, like increasing monetary wealth by 20 percent or more. Then compare the results between the groups. In this case I think the best control group would be to compare each persons percent wealth gain with the average wealth gain for persons in their local geographical area. The results would then speak for themselves. The fact that the authors of The Secret have not cited any such evidence really does speak loudly, and for all intents and purposes shows that they were knowingly peddling (and for large profit) what can only be construed as lies and deception on a world-wide scale. Such an act, if you ask me, is nothing short of CRIMINAL.

But even equipped with all the information presented above there are still people who will say something along the lines of - OK, but don't you think if we appear happy and smiley and projecting positive energy we will attract positive results? And my response to them is yes, and indeed what this shows is that the proper use of sales and marketing really DOES work, something no one will deny. This is something we all knew long before 'The Secret' was ever published. So what does this have to do with the law of attraction? It seems to me that these people are making the case that the law of attraction, and sales and marketing are one and the same, in which case perhaps the book should have instead been called "Sales and Marketing", which of course would not be perceived as a 'secret' to anyone.

Furthermore, it seems apparent to me that many if not most successful sales people and smiling face politicians are not truly happy inside, but rather are merely actors successfully projecting a false image of being happy. If you think about it, lying in this way is firmly rooted in our culture practically whenever we greet people. Regardless of how you actually feel it seems the expected response is something along the lines of "Oh I've never been better" or some such fallacy. The point is that most people tend to smile moreover out of fear of what will happen to them if they do not. And no doubt in most cases it probably does work, and to the extent that it does, does not bode well for the claims made in the law of attraction.

But really, the only thing that distinguishes the law of attraction from sales and marketing is the idea that you can somehow mentally tap into the energy of the universe and magically get some specific result. Yet to my knowledge no one has shown any scientific evidence to support this claim, so why are so many people kidding themselves?

In a nutshell, regarding the highly orchestrated advancement of the New World Order, we can EITHER collectively choose to remain Ignorant/Uninformed/Happy (having no fear!) and remain non-participants as we watch the Constitution and all of our God given rights pass away right before our eyes, OR we can choose to collectively DO SOMETHING, which is what I am asking.

So yes, please DO fear the readily apparent advancement of the NWO (New World Order) and therefore acknowledge your responsibility to be informed and take any and all appropriate actions (not the least of which is sharing what you know with others) which you anticipate may yield positive results. For it is solely for lack of knowledge that we the people collectively volunteer to grant any and all power to the NWO.

Thank you.

for Love&Light...and activism.

It's high time we get off our asses and do something.

Love is a verb; without action, it is a meaningless word.

Energy is a property, not a "substance" you can "focus on".

Prayer is meaningless. God's will be done no matter what, and you're not going to change it by getting on your knees and closing your eyes.

Thinking positive is nonsense. We must think critically. The idea that we should dismiss every negative idea or thought is ludicrous because it forces us to dismiss half of reality.

It is what we strive for, what we work for, and what we build and produce that matters, not some superfluous "emotion" or a tingle in the belly. We are not a bunch of women. We are men, we are free men, and we are on the path to Godhood!

Don't waste your time kissing the ass of a false deity in hopes that he'll take pity on you! Realize that you ARE that deity in and of yourself!

"Of course I worship Lucifer. I am Lucifer!" -me

"The powers that be have us focused on negative energy and negative events."

I am not negative.

I am positive.

I am absolutely positive that it's going to get a hell of a lot worse before it ever gets better.

A lot of spiritual people believe that evil will burn itself out. If it does, this will be the first time in recorded history it has happened.

I'll wait till 2012 before telling you that you are full of it. While Christians conveniently leave themselves an out ("Only God knows the day and time"), enough religions, philosophies and, even scientists predict 2011 to 2012. I've given more than a mustard seed of faith, so I feel fully justified to insist on a deadline.

and as another illustration, I'd like to submit something previously submitted by Habit4ming, I hope she doesn't mind! :) Such beautiful illustrations of our own personal power need to be repeated often:

... Every time I see a "end of the world due to oil leak"scenario thread, I have vowed to make this comment (my opinion/belief):
I will not give in to fear. This is too reminiscent of a recent
non-existent flu pandemic...
"...unimaginable environmental catastrophe..." is right. I IMAGINE
pristine waters and beaches. I envision people sunbathing, birds
flying, children swimming, dogs frolicking, dolphins leaping...
I really wish more of my brothers and sisters would realize that
everything is interconnected. Everything. Or for more of a "religious" flavor, "we" all came from God; "we're" all a little
piece of God. When "we" join forces, "we" become more and more powerful, like God. The more that join in, the more God-like power "we" have! Do you know that I was involved in a "water clean-up" project recently involving nothing more than people planet-wide focusing on
(specific) contaminated water becoming pure?! Guess what? It worked! So, imo, if "you" want to help, either volunteer services, pour hay/microbes into the water, pray...but especially envision the restoration of our water/beaches/wildlife. Don't you understand that if a majority of people envision "doom and gloom", that's what will happen? What do you think the purpose of fear-mongering is??? It's to
prevent "us" from having a better world! If "we" feed into the fear,
that's what "we" get! AND NOTHING CHANGES! If "we" feed into the positive, that's what "we" get. Be the change "you" wish to see; envision a better world and it is "ours"!!
