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?

The loa is seductive because it gives the illusion of CONTROL in a terrifyingly unpredictable world.
cybpunk was garbage but gta 5 is still great what do you think
I feel like "Law of Attraction" is just a magical version of believing in yourself and having faith in the future.
essentially what I thought it was when I was researching about it
You're right! But the most important thing is, believing in yourself having faith in the future, is free, and you can do it with out a cult! :D
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.
stop believing and start working and learning☺☺☺
That's what it exactly is. I don't know what cult people are talking about. I haven't watched the whole video yet, but as much as I know about the LOA it's better than religion.
Never turn your frontal lobe off. Always be able to critically think at all costs.
low
Unfortunately, I fell for that LoA crap when I was about 16 also because of The Secret, my mom gave me a DvD about it. Very disappointed when I found out it didn't work when I failed my scooter exam lol. +
yo thanks for the free drumkits btw
i was trying to make an apple appear and then the video started showing that he put hidden apples. this proves i need to follow the law of attraction, now to prove my faith to it, i must do it with what i been spending all my life doing: playing assasin creed, so now i will perform a leap of faith out of my window, and even if i will hit cement i will survive with no injuries. see ya losers.
Thank you
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.
And also teaching them that thoughts attract events. But thoughts are too weak signals to attract events.
@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.
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.
I also do think trying to picture something is bad cause it will never happen. Nobody can see the future so you need to eventually settle that your life is "close enough".
100% exact. Then don't care about the goals at all (really) and you get them just because the "giver" see you as non desperate and self confident....hence you get it. Not because is magic mumbo jumbo. Then all those people trying to convince others to be rich, have this and that...what for if they are fine as is?
I was so into this and I nearly ended up in a highly abusive cult. I couldn't see the truth until I nearly lost my life. It took years to unravel the truth from the lies.
The law of attraction is real, no cult trying to cash in on the idea will ever disprove it. Everything is manifestation whether you realize it or not, whether you believe in it or not, including ending up in an abusive cult - or not.

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 didnt know what was best for me. My intuition was wrong. I should have done resesrch and made evidemce based decisions instead of stupidly relying on feelings.
This kind of ideas is why I almost killed myself when I thought my own fears and thoughts could cause harms to my life and people around me, I was devastated
My sister does this to me with my ankylosing spondylitis and there is no way I can positively think my way out of it.
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.

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.
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.
I think it's really just a balance of these different meditative practices. Engaging in positive thinking is nice, but also make time for shadow work.
I kept a journal and I would try to only write about the positive things, and to write in a way that if I read it in few weeks it would not bring back and make me relive bad moments. But it’s very easy to be in control when you are single. Now I have a husband and child, I can be as positive as I wish about tomorrow, but if my daughter wakes up vomiting at 3 in the morning… F*** positivity, F*** tomorrow. And it’s ok.
@@lucieciepka1031 I started to only make progress when I abandoned the entire idea of self-help. I still try to improve myself but I turn towards others for that and I do stuff, even stuff that on the surface doesn't really help.
Being a civilian of my own country helped me far better than any self-help ever could.
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.

It can be very dangerous telling people it’s their fault for xyz. Some things are in your control and there are many things completely out of your control
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.
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)
LOA is so much more than thinking, and it's not as easy as it's made out to be. I was manifesting people and things before I knew what LOA was.

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.

The idea that children of abusive parents attracted their situation is utter nonsense.
From someone who grew up in that situation, i posed that question in a group and was told by many in that group that my soul had signed up for those life lessons 🙄
@@sarahjayne2035 I grew up in the same situation and I fully believe my chose this path for certain reasons that I dont understand fully. I'm beginning to grasp the reasons though.
Could it be that humans have a tendency to make the most of a shitty situation and not that our souls "signed up for it"?
@@juliewolf7036 the first
if you believe in the afterlife and stuff, it is stated that after we die and our soul leaves the body, the soul analyzes the life just lived and feels all the emotions (good and bad) that it has given to others. And the soul chooses it's life, circumstances, situations and yes the parents that you are born to so that your soul can learn and become better and rise above. You choose everything in your life and this is how karma works also
As someone who was passively open minded about this - I would hear people get excited about it, then become excited about it myself but the next day make zero changes and by the end of the week, completely forget everything I heard (lol), I found what you shared to be interesting and it makes sense. I have no idea how anyone can sustain toxic positivity. The guilt for feeling anger or any other negative emotion would be horrible. Imagine thinking that you’ll lose your big fortune because you hate your job or your boss. Talk about a pressure cooker.
Last statement you made, I’m living it.
Gurus telling you to manifest someone who broke your heart and keep thinking they'll walk through the door again, is not helping folks get through their break ups. It's mentally dangerous stuff !!
Hey! I searched this up as my Aunt, who lives with me, is currently blasting the audio books of The Secret. 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! You're taking out the one tool for any sort of critical thinking and rational, it genuinely gives me Warhammer 40k vibes.

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.
Yup, I used to be part of a group teaching LOA. Spent $75 a month for at least 3 years to learn the "secrets" about wealth and what not....Nothing changed for me, had to learn the hard way.

Yeah Netflix is great, degenerated leftist propaganda, he should do a video about their cult if he is so honest. Just by the ads of their shows I get creeped out.
My friend suggested that I read the LOA/secret after he did. I said no thanks I have a rough idea of what it is about. He gave me some actual help and then decided I needed his advice too. I was living independently and have been through some traumatic experiences whereas he lived with his parents who bought him an expensive car etc and he couldn't see 🙈 this. He called me negative 😂 and stopped spending time with me
When I first heard about manifesting things with affirmations and blah blah, I got excited and tried. But when it didn't work, I would always blame it on myself and think "why only me???", not realizing this is how the world works. I really needed this video. Thanks, James, for enlightening us!
You blamed yourself. My husband ...now ex... blamed me when he didn't get what he wanted...rich.
@@carolsummers8734 Ow that's sad. Looks like he was toxic.
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.

The Secret in a nutshell: I tell you that if you drink a glass of milk every day for 100 years, you will live past 100. If you drink a glass of milk every day and live past 100, I am proven correct. If you drink a glass of milk every day and die before you're 100 then you didn't drink a glass of milk every day for 100 years so I'm not wrong.

A simple-minded common person, you get what you deserve.
The work that James puts into these documentary styled videos is just Mind boggling
I have always considered that this philosophy simply generates a greater optimistic attitude, which in turn effects decisions people make, makes them better at recognising opportunities, makes them more confident and focused on acheiving their goals - even at a subconscious level. It isn't some mystical cause but a natural development towards their goals.

@@pattismithurs9023 Exactly this toxic self help industry is disgusting
@@pattismithurs9023 maybe you have part of the responsability in failing, but why is failing bad? For some people failing is just another situation, not bad nor good. I think the real power that LOA has is really lost and has been transformed. I know wise people that study Buddha and they say that if Buddha saw Buddhism, he would see something that has been transformed, his real teachings are completely different. Maybe that happened with the original LOA, idk. Anyways I dont really practice it, I practice acceptance of the reality and I practice taking actions or no-actions.
That common sense summary provides a trogan horse of toxicity. That’s the problem.
This is an amazing one, thank you !!
Being myself a physicist, (I studied theoretical physics and quantum mechanics), it always drives me insane when I bump into people justifying their nonsense with pseudoscience, borrowing some superficial jargon from theoretical physics.
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.
I think I am going to share your video every time I get into a debate about LOA instead of wasting my time and energy (no pun intended) trying to explain things to them.
The double slit experiment is so misrepresented.
I totally agree. Science teacher here. I just can’t take it when people say: “Science proves everything is energy therefore everything can be controlled with our mind.” I also believe in a spiritual world but never mix them together. That’s the greatest mistake you can make. And a true scientist is actually the true seeker and not the spiritual person who almost always use confirmation bias and spiritual bypass.
@ascendingreality what makes you think you understand science and that is a broad statement. I am an aerospace engineer and believe our current understanding is flawed.
@@bluwng I don't understand what you are questioning? I am a university-educated science teacher and have worked as a teacher for over ten years. So I know science pretty well. 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.
And by the way, I agree with you on this. I draw the line BEFORE the point of blaming people for their own illnesses, but that kind of thing is so particularly low that it disgusts me. My favourite auntie died two years ago from cancer. Spread through her entire body in just five weeks. Trust me, no amount of positive thinking was going to stop that monster. The most I could muster of positive thinking was "Thank God she's out of pain now"...which was not pleasant. Still miss her. Will always miss her.
There are some people who think negatively and criticize everything, yet get what they want in life. I met alot of cold, calculative, grumpy ppl who achieve their goals because of their focus and practicality.
The practice the Law Of Action
Well, there is a difference between tyrannical negativity that can absolutely dominate life and doubtful negativity that is psychological suicide.

Focus and practical and hard work, those are massive, positive thinking and being positive might make you a little nicer to be around but it in itself cannot bring you happiness or success
i feel like positive thinking, visualising your goals, affirmation and meditation are road paths to success in life. Only thing is that you're not supposed to see them as the thing that makes your life successful but as the things that help you focus on the things that make your life successful
I don't get it.....
@@paradoxpubgm3918 he means you can do all those things and still be unsuccessful but chances are higher that you will progress with time and eventually reach a certain goal if everything goes right
But blindly believing in the law of attraction will have you delusional and unwilling to question things because you feel like you are already doing everything necessary and therefore guaranteed to succeed.
Correct
@Chris Braxton YES! this law of attraction takes away the concept of action needed.

I love the way you research all these and not just believe because Google said it
Research? Really? Look at the subtle bias which James attaches to his statements - "...unfalsifiable claims or ideas pave the way for those that have bad intentions." What about the group of people that have good intentions - he doesn't explore this group of people at all! You ultimately find what you want to see - and ignore everything else. Cherry pick the information for convenience! All his research is googled! - Has James ever sat for a 10 day silent meditation course - focusing on breath for 14 hours a day???? Has James ever truly surrendered to anything without judgement or bias? I doubt it!
“You end up gaslighting yourself.” this is one of the best videos I've ever watched. It totally explains why LOA fucks so many people up long term.
Yes Long Term It fucks Them Up
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.
So true, and such gaslighting.
Then you work on yourself- "You didn't clear everything"
The LOA people always so poor also lol
And that's exactly how you can tell something is pseudo-science. Scientific theories can be and should be debunked if we come up with a better one. Pseudo-science, however, will always "explain itself" with it's own beliefs and create an infinite loop of explanations, like you showed in your comment. It's the same with horoscopes. 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... An never-ending loop of "explanations".
accurate.
@@rauhavesola8819 It's not pseudo-science, it's faith. And when faith becomes business these are the results. Capitalism is the problem. Not loa, not G-D, not faith.
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.
Hope you are ok. Though iv never believed in the LOA I do suffer from intrusive thoughts so I understand that anxiety.
I think things like the LOA are potentially very harmful and use victim blaming.
Me too! Being young and vulnerable too all of these people saying you manifest your thoughts while having severe ocd sent me into an anxious wreck! Poor 15 year old me thought all of my intrusive thoughts would manifest :(
i feel you.. i read so many " self help books " describing this..so i became this optimistic person ,who despite problems kept thinking good. I too got severe anxiety because of my intrusive thoughts because i started feeling everything wrong happening in my life is completely my fault and because of my thoughts. I was even scared to think at a point.
thankfully now I now know that these are just thoughts ,and whenever an intrusive thought comes i recite " my thoughts are not my reality" , I am happier now and i m focusing on putting more efforts in , rather than the results..
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL RN.
I am 23 and still haunted by these OCD intrusive thoughts. These thoughts compel me to do embarrassing and illegal things to stop something bad. I feel lost and scared all the time. These thoughts had a great deal of impact on my brain and mental capabilities as once I was a bright student in school and at the moment I am absolutely nobody.
Phillipians 4:8 - "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise"
But what follows that verse? Does it say that you will then gain everything that you want as long as you thought positively enough and focused on it enough? No.
I dated a girl who treated The Secret like a bible
Long story short, things did not work out for when she thought positive thinking was enough to fix all of her problems.
When reality hit her. It was like getting hit by lightning
Touché 😂
*Atheists claim that they are intellectually superior to religious people because they are willing to question their beliefs, whereas religious people are dogmatic and refuse to question their deepest beliefs and won't consider evidence that could potentially undermine those beliefs.*
Well, have you ever heard an atheist say:
"I wonder if constantly increasing individual freedom is a good thing."
"I was wrong about democracy being a viable system."
"Maybe the sexual revolution was a mistake."
"The evidence shows that equality of the sexes is destructive."
"Let's have a debate on if freedom of speech and religion is good for society."
"Could it be that women need fewer rights?"
I have never seen an atheist raise these questions or hold these positions up to serious scrutiny. Nor do they provide any evidence for their beliefs on these matters. They simply assert them and ridicule and mock anyone who disagrees with them...
Obviously, St. Paul is referring to focusing your thoughts on virtue and moral excellence, not on manifesting worldly goods. If Paul believed in LOA, he was clearly doing it wrong since, not to spoil anything, Paul's worldly affairs didn't work out so hot in the end.
You nailed it! Many people fall for it and say, for example; LOA is real because Oprah can't be wrong!
Our obsession with "happiness" and "positive thinking" has made us feel guilty if we behave normally, just as expected from a non-perfect human. It's OK to be sometimes sad, unhappy or angry.
And no, positive thinking cannot cure severe diseases like cancer! I know about a person with extremely active life and a happy and positive worldview, who had healthy food, exercise, etc, but passed away from cancer at 40.
Why do they fall it? They are either lazy, delusional or hurting and looking for a way out.
@@bluwng I think they fall for the "LOA" because of their naivety or wishful thinking, in addition to the reasons you mentioned. I fell into it once, because of my little knowledge of this scam market. And beware of those "influencers"! lol
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.
@@Klfo777 I generally agree with you, and of course having a positive mindset is proven to be of great effect. However, I was talking about something else! The topic of the video is about the big market generated around the "LOA" nonsense.
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.
Positive thinking can cure illness and prevent it, I've experienced this when I was depressed, just like feeling love can release endorphins and hormones that make u feel butterflies in ur stomach and happy, fear and enxiety also have their own chemical reactions in our bodies such s the release of adrenaline which is supposed to be temporary but prolonged due to these conditions as the mind cannot tell if u r really in danger or not this also inhibiting other natural processes from occurring because u r always in flight mode for no real reason. So there's no harm in investing ur life to positive living, I sure dont want to be dippressed for the rest of my life wether I become rich or not.
Law of attraction caused me to start day dreaming and it got me completely distracted from my end goals. I would just waste time fascinating about me achieving my goals but never really even got close in achieving them.
You didn't take any action
Blame yourself not LOA
You were daydreaming, wanting it to happen. You weren't actually living in the moment while feeling that what you desire, is actually what you are or what is already happening for you. Yes, blame yourself. Not LOA.
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.
Ohhh no, even here these people is justifying why it didn't worked for you, LOA is bullshit
when I was 16 I started to visualise that I'm gonna be an astronaut. I'm 25 now and ended up as an uber driver. close enough tbh
so? what
Once u visualize and start working towards it the universe will make it possible for you either by making you come in contact with someone with the Same beliefs as you or some other way...u don't just visualize without working hard take Cristiano Ronaldo for instance not that am a fan of his but I feel like I get him his believe and visualization paved the way for him and the rest was up to him which was then hard work
yOu diDnT bEliEEve enOuGH
Because u don’t have a goal . U yourself you r telling that u visualised thinking that u are gonna be a astronaut.u stick to your goal one day u May become a astronaut. Believe and work towards it
The way you fly thru the highway to get the passenger to their destination is astronomical. Good for you. I just hope Uber isn't exploiting you.
I was 15 and my parents a female minister and her husband absolutely were on the edge of their seats watching it. I fell asleep. And months later, my dad was trying to preach “the secret” to me and to call him on his bullshit said “where is my PlayStation 3?” (This was 2007 and I didn’t have a PlayStation 3 yet). He tried to find a roundabout way of answering and I used what the secret said against him. I finally said “the real secret is that I need to work for something I want.”
Your doing a great job by exposing the things the way they are

James Jani is just a critic who is criticising in a movie theater life style. He uses snapshots from the already successful movies. So this entertainment was never made by him. It's an irony that he is basically criticising celebreties like Will Smith for promoting the LOA. However he was using Will Smith snapshots many times for expressing his point AND GETTING VIEWS.
He calls his one sided point view/criticising a disturbing truth and entertainment made by him. THIS IS ONE DISTURBING TRUTH about him.
@@gojakla12 I think you're missing the point. People who aspire to make videos on UA-cam are striving to get view hours and engagement from comments/likes. If a person makes content that falls within UA-cam's TOS and monetization policy, and that content gets a lot of views/engagement, then that person can enjoy some level of success on UA-cam. There's also nothing wrong with being a "critic", and fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material for this exact purpose. In short, he's both within his rights and he's successful in getting both views and engagement - which in turn makes him, for the moment, successful on UA-cam.

"Don't let logic control you, the logic is bad for you"
Scary.
I would say logic can get in the way, when you automatically assume based on it, your goal won't work, but I also feel we can fail to see logic is only relative to your understanding, so if your logic is ignorant then you won't be able to easily see potential. Think about the TV, the automobile, and many concepts that the "industry " leads said won't work.

A big thing I noticed about the LOA was how materialistic it is. Huge focus on the fact that money and mansions buy happiness.
Yep. California Spirituality.
@@freebornaiden7666 😂😂
Basically what every fake "guru" sell to find their next victim: materialistic happiness.
Then maybe don’t try and manifest materialistic things? LOA is not just for money and mansions.
@shuxu posse firstly, not everyone that followed LOA believe that *everything* you experience is bc you manifested it. In fact I saw literally 5 posts on Twitter yesterday stating that- that the key to manifestation is intent. Second, ppl that believe in it, choose what they want to manifest. It isn't surprising that famous/well known ppl use it to gain material things-as, IMHO, most of those ppl got to where they are bc they're narcissistic hedonists driven by money, fame and power. That being said, u literally need money to survive under capitalism. Nothing is free & the "american dream" is based on having those things- money, a nice home, a family etc. Lastly, of course LOA isnt proven via scientific method, bc there's no way to quantify the results. Just like magick, the paranormal etc. Just bc it isn't proven by science and data sets and studies, Doesnt mean it isn't real. There are plenty of things that there either haven't been studied on, or again, aren't quantifiable, that ppl believe in and that work for them. Doesn't make them any less real to the ppl that believe

And also dates back to a few other even older books some of which are "occult" teachings. People just turned it into a self-help racket.

Outstanding video! Thank you James Jani for all your research!
Fantastic writing and editing. Just flawless.
Finally someone encouraging their audience to think for themselves critically. This is gonna put many at unease but its totally worth contradicting one's belief. After all, if it were a valid belief, it would be true no matter what critique was attempted. If it isn't, one ought to be glad that someone tore it down before it develops into a cult-like thinking.
Spread this mentality to as many people as you can in real life. The world needs more people like you, respect.

When you are jobless, broke, nothing and no one around is the time you realize none of the laws will work until you work.
- former LOA believer
agreed. I understand where LOA is coming from a bit, but the majority of it is bs. You can't just have positive thoughts and assume it will happen. When I was dead broke, sure I believed that there would be better days but it was more about the execution than anything else. Had I just kept thinking those thoughts without some hard work and perseverance then I would've been shit out of luck. The positive thoughts are simply a stepping stone and without executing then you legit won't progress past the thinking phase
But it was my belief that all these laws encourage working towards what you visualise. If you are working towards something, you might as well visualise and think positively towards it to give you an extra motivation.
Agreed

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.

Watch joe dispenza to change ur mind
A little gratitude and positive outlook can change your life. Following your joy and excitement. If you think about something enough, chances are it will become part of your life in some way. A lot of the time we don't realize we already have want we wanted so much. Sometimes it's not exactly "perfect" or what makes you happy changes from time to time. Maybe that's what people struggle with. There is always a positive or negative consequence to any action if you really think about it.
Very well put together. Thinking positively does not make you rich.
"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.
Perfectly said ! 👍🏽 I went through the same struggles for a decade
But how you guys started to believe in this ? You were inspired by people experiences who claimed that it works 100% or by the books/videos ? If you believe in this you basically believe in something that is not scientific based and cannot be explained.
Lol but its true, everything is a choice, therefore ur fault, if u feel happy when others feel sad, its ur choice, if you feel bad when others feel happy, its your choice, if everything external try to convince you or detect how u should feel and u choose to feel differently, its just ur choice to live above sensory input, the law of attraction is not false , only have been taught by amateurs who re out to make money, just like pastors who re out to make money using the Gospel, doesn't make the Gospel false or fake, just the teachers, if you know how many physics formulas or mathematical formulas have changed since you learnt them, u will call the educational system false, these scientists taught what they thought were facts at the time, but over time newer discoveries were made but they couldn't go back to the world to announce 'sorry we fooled you, that formula you learnt in high school was false, learn the updated one' that will shift reality because a lot of decisions have been made on those past formulas, there is a reason why the bible asked you to meditate on the word of God day and night, its so that ur consciousness will always filter your thoughts through the knowledge of God and not the new knowledge you encountered in the internet or from a friend, this video is a new information, u re going to start seeing things from James point of view, u will accept his POV if it makes u feel any better, but he is no different from the gurus, he's only showing you one new perspective to filter your thoughts through, but at the end of the day, its your choice to choose or ignore it, that's true power, choosing what you want to accept or reject without allowing anyone or anything force it down your throat.
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.
@@sidekick3910 "its true, everything is a choice, therefore ur fault"
So victims of mass shootings chose to be shot? Do people choose to have cancer? Do they choose to be born into poverty?
If everything is your choice and your fault, it means you're almighty. Otherwise it is not working. People can't be responsible for things they have no control over.
But if you think that you're almighty, then you're basically see yourself as a God. And what kind of christian\jew\muslim would do that? Did you actually read the Bible? Do you know any prayers? 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. Treat life like an adventure in unknown lands: you can choose in which direction to go and how fast to travel. But you can't choose what places are you gonna find or what people are you going to meet.
This is true.

I am really glad I found this... I am a LOA believer currently questioning everything I have been forcing myself to think and have been preaching for the last year, a lot of things I feel have been falling into place to get me to realize this. I still have my spiritual beliefs but yeah I'm realizing that LOA is kinda a load of shit and the fact people profit SO much off of it goes to show its a business, not anything it seems to be. Thank you so much for this.
The "secret" is a fraud. In my opinion and conjecture of the information the movie called the "secret" was created and promoted by charlatans. To me the message of the secret did more harm then good in this world. Moreover, the catalysts for this project Jerry and Ester hicks, who together created a system where as if Ester is channeling a higher power called "Abraham hicks" and answer questions, are not good people in my eyes. I will present my case for why the secret is it's essence has serious flaws and should be not be considered virtues. First, let me say "the secret" has some truth to it. Any good money making lie has some truth to it, no lie is a really successful money making machine without a bit of truth. Having a positive, hopeful view about our future and striving for the things we want to create can be a very good thing. Anybody who has ever achieved something clearly had a thought about, coupled with a strong desire and went for it. It is true, no one ever reached a goal without thinking they wanted it first. As I said every good lie has at least a bit of truth in it. We hear all the success stories of people who tried and believed they could, no one mentions the endless failures who never reached and no one is bothering to interview so they can tell the tale. In the "secret" they state "if you didn't reach it, I guess you just didn't belive hard enough it was possible". But let's think about this point a little more. We all need a belief and desire to achieve something, so we can persevear even in hard times, but honestly do you think the people who achieved things sat most of the day imagining what they want or did they take massive action? The secret says the thoughts make the reality happen, yet none of the cases of success really only did just that. Honestly they probably didn't spend that much time imagining at all, they were busy doing what was needed. They took massive action and kept on course. Honestly many cases of very successful people the success wasn't even for whith what they originally desired, but instead got there by smartly pivoting from the original idea to something more tangible, once they gets more clarity on the endeavor and how the world functions in practicality in this specific field. Where does the over imagining and visualizing come into play there? They clearly didn't will reality with their minds, they ended up in a different outcome from the original intention. The more I pondered about this subject I realized there is also gimmick that makes people belive the secret actually works. As if evidence, but in truth it is nothing more then a shallow gimmick. I will be honest I too fell pray to this gimmick in the past. When we think good thoughts and are more hopeful we are heading to a positive future, this leads to us being confident in ourselves. In this confidence we demand less from others, drain less of their energy and overall are more light hearted, easy going and creative. People want to be around us more than usual just by diplaying this extra positive energy. That's just human nature, not us achieving something by willing it with positive thoughts. When people act nicer to us we get a feeling something is moving in the right direction. One might say "People are noticing me more. I was thinking goods and look at what just happened. This is the product of the "secret" telling me to be positive, therefore the secret must be right about the other parts as well". Sadly, this is usually where this little mind game ends its usefulness. You get a little extra social gratification. If a person want to succeed they cannot avoid massive focus and action. These snake oil salesmen just want to sell you on a dream that is easy to obtain what you want, thats all. It's an appeal to the lazy part in us that wants everything to fall into our lap with minimal effort. Llike all things that are too good to be true this also is. But hoping for a good outcome and dreaming isn't a bad thing right? Honestly I don't think it is bad. What is truly evil in my eyes with this phylosophy is the following point more than any other. It's not a big issue that they tell you dreaming is good. The evil part is that they sell you on a lie that you can get whatever you want. Not every person is supposed to get whatever they want, not mayter how hard they wish. The greatest wishers are not the one who actually succeeded. Not everyone can be a world champion in a certain field, yet so many wish it relentlessly regardless and have failed. Selling the lie that you can have anything you want if you just wish hard enough is predatory and evil in my eyes. They set you on wild goose chase in the wrong direction, all the while making a few hundred, to thousands of bucks off of you. All i have said and still…. They is an even more sinister evil narrative "abraham hicks" and other snake oil salesman of this kind push. The worst part of it me is not only do they tell you you can have anything you want, they also push the narrative that dreaming as big as you can is a good thing. They say "Dream as big as you want and it will manifest", not for a moment telling people to be humble and modest with they're requests. No, Abraham hicks urges you to go after all you lust for. Think it and it is yours. It's good to want everything you lust for and desire. There is no virtue, morals in their teaching, just greed and telling you it's ok that to only focus on getting things for your selfish needs. Not everyone is supposed to be a millionaire, not everybody can be. Some people to get what their lustful nature desired had to do some horrible things and hurt many other people in the process. Abraham hicks and the "secret" puts what we want and desire as the most important virtue, never mentioning how this lines up with being a good person. Never mentioning that striving for the riches and glory may leave casualties on the way. This mindset of gluten is not a key to creating a better world. The "secret" tells you to dream as big as you can, be as selfish as you want and worst of all it tells you it's a really good thing to do it. As time passes I realize this one teaching holds a way more detrimental message then a good one. People need to tread with caution and not follow this charlatans blindly.
I think you do it wrong like most people. When you're forcing yourself to think about something to manifest it, it actually shows you don't believe in it subconsciously. If I'm gonna keep telling myself "I'm a great guy, I'm a great guy", I'm truly saying "I know I am not a great guy". Therefore, it becomes the truth. If you were "forcing yourself" and now you're saying LOA is a load of shit, you never believed in it, so it didn't work.
The key is to say "I'm gonna make a lot of money", and you surrender to the circumstances. You don't worry about it and you don't wait for it. You just keep doing your thing and you look for new income opportunities, but you REMAIN CALM. You don't force it. It did work for me spectacularly in recent months. I was chilling and doing my job as usual, and suddenly out of a blue, I've been offered a new position with a much higher payoff. There is no reasonable explanation for this.
@@pawel1545That's still woo woo crap. Because you're still putting the blame on the person. You can't say "it works, you're not believing enough/in the right way" and expect that to be genuine evidence or taken seriously.
@@pawel1545Also.. coincidences exist. shocker, i know. correlation ≠ causation. or, maybe you were working hard on your own and thats why you got a promotion. maybe your boss is low on staff and needed a promotion. mundane over magical, always.
@@solidsolid111 One more rational way of looking at this. Pay close attention to people who say LOA works and I don't mean Internet gurus. I've meet few of them in real life. They were successful, rich, and happy. I wasn't. So I was like "it sounds woo woo, but these guys are winners and I don't even like my life... let's try it, who gives a sh*t?".
I'm not some dreamer who believes in magic. I do believe in the mental strength of the individual. I truly believe that you can operate on a totally different level of effectiveness if you have a strong mindset. LOA built me up, even if its not real. My results are real.
I followed the Law of Attraction for many years, i was heavily invested, but soon came to realize the faults and dangers in the way it was being taught. The principles of positive thinking is not a bad thing, but we have to realise that what we consider bad or bad thoughts, or negative experiences are not bad at all. Rather all things are necessary for growth. Being in harmony with your thoughts, both "positive" and "negative" is truly the key to real growth.Blindly going into LOA as it is preached, can lead to disastrous results. Acceptance +Harmony =Growth
going with the flow is the key
I agree. I truly believe that people don’t know the difference between changing their thoughts and words to being more hopeful, grateful, and/or open ended vs being toxically positive. Toxic positivity is invalidating to your experience. Take in the experience, feel the feelings, and then let them go when ready. But don’t keep the negative thoughts that don’t serve you. Negative self talk is also toxic. So there’s a balance to it.
If only I was the Netflix CEO I would've long brought this man on board.

And you could have kept The Dark Crystal going.
@@JamesJani don’t do it, lil bro Netflix is msm. They’ll slowly eat you away into irrelevance. Then ppl will say they “remember” when you “were” great💯...IMO
I honestly think it’s just placebo, when people “manifest” they’re simply taking chances they may have not taken otherwise.
I think the problematic thing is it can make people complacent and think their thoughts and attitude will manifest what they want and they never take an actual action to achieve what they want.
But one thing
Placebo actually works lol
They have the same results
@@devrajchangkakati4994 exactly. Belief can make a lot happen. Even if it is fake, the results can be beneficial (or harmful). Depends on person.
This vdo will help those who think the LOA is not true.., they will feel better..
For my experience, I feel grateful and happy to create my own reality and always get what I want, sometimes things appear effortlessly. I trust the process, I trust the laws of the universe.
Great videos! I love the way you explain the concepts!
to be fair to jim carrey he said in that interview, you have to visualize then go do the work, not just visualize then go eat a sandwich....
You need visualization backed by action. The people who preach LOA and are honest mention this point.
@@j.singer8461 exactly, nothing is gonna fall from the sky, you have to take action
@Deborah Hearne Personally, I think you're right, but then you have to ask the question, what is the source and I believe the answer to that is the Devil and we should not be messing with it.
Visualization attracts awareness of opportunities and inspired action.

Well said my friend. 👌🏾💚
💯
I cosign this entire message.
Great effects and storytelling. When I found the law of attraction in 2014, I was pretty broken and had lost all hope in our government system as well as our economic services. I believed money was the root of all evil, and my life wasn't ever going to amount to shit. Being diagnosed with mental illness and ravaged by my drug addiction seems to be living on couches or in a tent was what I was reduced to..........
well, then something happened. I'm not going to tell you I healed myself, overcame addiction, and manifest my dream life. What I will say is this. The law of attraction gave My my 1st dose of "taking responsibility." It put it in my hands to correct my life. I REAPED WHAT I SEWED. Yes, I believe and still believe that writing a definitive purpose down and repeating it daily is like magic. Things do seem to magically appear in my life. Opportunities seem to pop up more than they ever did. ALL these self-help gurus have had a tid bit of knowledge that was enlightening or a tool to use when implemented made things easier (Budgeting, journals, task list, goals list, visualization etc). Fake or not my life is radically different today. I got help in rehab and recovery rooms for my addiction. I started a business, got married, bought a house, and have many nice things. I'm writing this from my hot tub this morning, where I'll listen to some think and grow rich, repeating my Montra and visualizing a future on another level. For what's its worth.....
I STILL BELIEVE. IM LIVING PROOF!!!!
Tell me, James. Did you take anything positive away from your deep dive into self-help and the law of attraction? Did you take any tools away?
I’m living proof too!! Thinking positive about myself has changed my life and also healed me. I too was addict and a serious alcoholic, to where I put myself in liver failure. I’m still a work in progress, as I believe we all are; but I can say for a fact with my own life that believing I’m healthy and healed changed everything!! Had I not known anything about any of this, I probably wouldn’t be alive. I do believe that when we tell ourselves things like “I’m fat, I’m ugly, no one wants me,” we definitely manifest those things into our lives!! I know this for a fact!! Thinking and believing wholeheartedly positive statements about myself has changed my life!!
I’m actually so relieved I saw your comment, sending much love from FL. ❤️
And you know, in the LOA channels the comments are so helpful, positive and thoughtful towards complete strangers. No one is ever not wanting another person’s dreams and goals to not come true, or trying to debunk any of their personal beliefs; they’re all filled with love and support. I really don’t think that’s such a bad thing honestly; spreading love and positivity is desperately needed in our corrupt world full of division and negativity.
U guys are awesome i believe. Too !
This was a greatly curated video of facts. I was a believer in the Law of Attraction, just till the night before, and then all the toxic beliefs just snapped and I threw "The Secret" book away. It was last November when I started suspecting these scheme, but, as you mentioned, I blamed *myself* for the negativity, and praised the LOA for the positivity. I was actually too scared to not believe in it anymore, out of the fear of "manifesting" the negative vibrations. Yesterday, I really had the courage to accept the reality. This thing really warped my mind in a slow poisoning way, and even made me question my religion, and I'm glad to get out if this cult. Thanks for the video, I'm heading right now to Part 2.
Let me grab my popcorn real quick

If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven and He loves you?
Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Explanation:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we’ve all sinned.
(Romans 3:23) and the law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). For
someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). ‘’For God so
loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) That’s why only Jesus can
save us, because He lived a perfect and sinless life and is the only worthy
sacrifice and died for our sins. We aren’t saved based on our good
deeds/works, but only by the grace of God through faith.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30), which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
‘’Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that
times of refreshing may come from the Lord.’’ (Acts 3:19) Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
Repentance is a turning from sin, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). While sorrow from sin is
not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite.
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you confess that Jesus is Lord (John 10:30) and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved. (Romans 10:9)
You are born again with the spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
Bible is the Word of God. You may ask how so because it is written by men. Just like a letter is written by a pen,
so is Bible written by God using men. Bible/God's Word was written over 1600 year period by 40 different authors and 66 books, all leading to the coming of God's Son - Jesus Christ. There is consistency of revelation throughout a long time of period, many prophecies being fulfilled.
In the Book of Isaiah you see details about how Jesus Christ suffered even if it was written a long time before His coming.
In the Book of Daniel 500 BC you can read about Alexander the great who lived 300 BC.
We are living in the last days and Jesus Christ will return soon.
2 Timothy 3:1 ''But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.''
2 Timothy 3:2 ''For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,''
Luke 21:11 ''There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.''
Matthew 24:39 ''And they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.''
Luke 21:31 ''So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.''
Mark 1:15 ''The time has come," Jesus said. "The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!"'
Get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ right now before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!. "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
You may start with a simple prayer from the bottom of your heart, TRULY believing that God listens and
cares. (Jeremiah 29:13) ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
Get to know Christ through His word. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!

I decided to try out "The Secret". I wanted a drink yesterday so I closed my eyes and envisioned a mug of beer sitting on my table. Suddenly, after 2 minutes, a blinding white light filled the room and a golden beam of fire extended down from the ceiling. Then the light was gone and on top of my table, was an ice cold mug of beer. It really works you gotta try it too!!! lol
Funniest comment i ever seen all day
Law of attraction has genuinely destroyed 5 years of my life.
Im grateful I came to understand all these things that all of those assumptions were biases and LoA is simply fake, hopeful wishing.
Now after I stopped using Law of Attraction, my life finally gets better as I actually trully work on myself and understand I am responsible for my own luck - Not the universe.
Hey it took 4 years of me wanna talk about it? I still cant process thing lol
Exactly. Me too. Its basically for us as 'non-believers' being forced to believe 'the universe' a big joke lol
Taking responsibility and realizing that you create your own luck IS using the law of attraction effectively. The universe is not responsible, you are responsible, AKA blame yourself. When you take responsibility and start doing something about your situation, then everything starts working for you. The law of attraction truly kicks into action when you kick into action. Life is about doing stuff, not just thinking about doing stuff. Think off all of the most exciting moments in your life... were you sitting alone meditating? No... you were out there doing something, meeting people, talking, eating, having fun, whatever it was. And if you don't have any exciting memories, then try to imagine what that would look like for you in the future. You'll notice that they are all based around doing something in your life, not based on sitting by yourself doing nothing.
@@xvi1921 So you practically said we dont need to talk about law of attraction because the catalyst is ourselves. Not some pseudo-science with 0 proof and all wishful thinking like law of attraction.
@@xvi1921 YESSSSSS!!!!!
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger ones said: The therm ''Self made man is a myth''. Even he admit that without many many people who helped him where he is now, he wouldn't be so successful no matter how hard he worked. You can think positively and work very hard, but without help of others, there will no different.
The one thing you all don't understand is when you practice LOA you find out you don't have to work as hard as you think.
With LOA what you want, it comes to you. You may not understand what I am saying if you don't practice it. But a lot of work is not involved.
It's funny how people want to talk about something and come to conclusions and don't know nothing about it. We need to stop this. LOA works for millions and millions of people if you all are a group who don't believe or practice it then keep moving. As the saying goes, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say nothing

@@Productions368 I agree
Thank you. I have been working towards a goal and have asked for help but not enough. I have to get over the idea that I don't deserve help (I was neglected as a child). I just need to find the right people.
Law of attraction includes the help of other people. Actually it expects the help of other people who are in the right place at the right time to help you. And at the same time you are often also at the right place and right time to help others. Of course nobody can do everything on their own. That's silly.
I have literally manifested things. Let me give you an example. I went to LA in January 2019 for a short vacation. On the plane ride I got stuck in a cramped space next to gross people and I had tried to manifest getting into one of the more spacious seats on my way there. Didn't happen lol so on the way back home I had said to myself "oh well, it's okay, next time I fly I'll fly in first class" as a way to comfort myself. and I kid you not 2 days after I got home my friend who works at air Canada messages me and asks whether I want to go to Amsterdam with her. And guess what we flew in first class. 😂 I wouldn't have gotten that flight if my friend didn't invite me but at the same time I created that reality.
This is a great video! Thank you for standing up for truth and reason. Please keep it up. This content is needed!

@@boaconstrictor4302 engineers don’t own Ferraris. Unless they start a company that in a way exploits people... you know like Elon Musk.
The problem with the law of attraction is that it's become a marketing scheme. I don't believe what most of the "gurus" say and I don't believe it's anything magical. However, when you change your beliefs, you change your perception of reality, and that in turn causes you to act differently. You can't manifest completely unrealistic things, but your thoughts do have a large impact on your actions/ perception of reality. Like with the whole apple thing - if you wanted apple and started thinking about them more, you'd find more apples in your surroundings (replace apples with opportunities, things you want, etc.). They don't magically come out of no where. You just start noticing them.
Therefore, I think it has some truth to it and I apply what I feel is beneficial into my own life. That being said, I would not listen to anyone that is making money off of it. It has become a weird cult-y thing and I don't subscribe to that.
Straight facts!
Absolutely
Totally, its pretty much works on the confirmation bias
I was looking for this comment. Like in that book it has changed many things. Like why do people thing they can manifest unrealistic. I can say it depends on the individual how u perceive things. If u pay more attention human are always to be misunderstood. Religion is being made from these kind of people who cannot understand what being written in scriptures and all.
