Why would anyone create anything they do not want?--Charles

Princess,

Allow me to commend u for turning a negative into a positive. It is a testament to your character not necessarily the "law" of attraction though...

Personally, I do not have the heart to say to you that your experience was YOUR OWN fault...regardless of the end result. Yes, I agree...people can influence reality if they are persistent (Don't really need a "law" to tell me that) but on the other hand...shit happens (pardon my French).

I apologize if I am coming off as an UNHAPPY person because I am not unhappy. I am generally, a ray of sunshine (if I do say so myself) and I usually walk about with a stupid grin for no reason in particular...save that I am enjoying myself most of the time.

But if this only works "on the whole" then it is not a law; if it can't be manipulated with laser precision than it is not a scientific law. I think it is the height of cruelty to tell someone that every single crappy thing that they suffer is their own fault. Where is the compassion in that??? And if it really isn't a biggie...why won't anyone come out and say..."Hey I believe u attracted that sexual predator, so own up to it"??? Am I the only who feels that is a little callous?

I still believe in it 100%, it can work for me. I am responsible for bad things that happen to me. I take responsibility.

That is a right.....When bad things happen to me I change the bad thing into a reminder that I need to stop putting out bad energy and that I am responsible for what happen!!!!

Gil I am happy you're happy!!! Anyone who walks around with a grin on their face all the time is brightening the world! You seem a little stuck in the details, if we called it something other than the "law" of attraction, would you admit it works? I could be willing to admit to that, maybe it's not a "law." You're right focusing on blaming people for what happened in the past isn't very compassionate, I think if you lack that compassion you're missing the point, it's kind of like how religion sometimes causes people to kill each other which certainly qualifies to me as missing the point, but just cause there are people who kill each other in the name of god, doesn't mean there aren't ones like Mother Theresa who spread tremendous love and help and joy in the name of god. It's like saying religion is bad all the time (oh no, I feel like I opened a big can of worms with this example).
I use the law of attraction to bring as much good into my life as i can, I don't feel hate for someone who breaks their arm or bitterness or blame, I just feel love, love and the hope that they will get better, I can't know what they're going through. I think using the law of attraction to blame everyone else for everything that happened in their life is un-compassionate, because they were doing the best they could with what they knew at the time. If you want to say I attracted a sexual predator in to my life, I say, okay, maybe I did, but I was doing the best I could with what I knew at the time. And all I can do now is the best I can from here on out.
It's also not that I think I will never have bad things happen in my life, I just think I can transmute them into gold in one way or another. MOST OF THE TIME, I think maybe you are right maybe it's not a law but it works well enough for me to keep doing it.

This is kind of unrelated but I really want to say it so here goes,
In the past I also didn't understand that you do have to admit that things happened and grieve, I used to try to not acknowledge that any bad things had happened in my life before, because I thought I would attract more of them but that trying to ignore them, and sweep them away in your head allows them to persist, I think it's that "what you resist persists" idea... I grieve losses and then I move forward with positive thoughts when you completely ignore bad things and don't deal with them, they persist. This grieving isn't a sad negative thing, it's actually about kindness to yourself, and taking care of yourself which attracts more kindness into you're life.

We can never know how or why another creates , my only intention with this powerful knowing is to create a better life for myself and those around me that desire the info. I share with those that want a better life.
Does it change a persons misfortune if I focus on it. Does it really do anyone any good to see the glass half empty.

You know when I started talking this stuff 10 yrs ago, man I could really clear a room--hehe
There were many people that made fun of this knowledge around me; so I got very quiet and just practiced it myself.
Well now all those people copy me because I am thriving and loving this amazing life I created.

If you start paying attention to your thoughts and what you are experiencing in your life ----well the proof is in the pudding. Of course it is always better to inform someone that they are creating their own reality when they are having a great day.

Abraham adresses the children issue beautifully you might want to do the research, but to ask it over and over and focus on it serves no one. It is like when as a Jewish person I decided to just let go of the Holocost to just accept that I could never understand how and why they created it.
---It was amazing how it freed up my energy to be happy and create what I want.---changed my whole life ---and you can do this also ---or not ---your choice---always--you can thrive now or focus on things that upset you
--it is all good

This whole theory of attracting your reality can only go so far, because we all coexist with each other, and we are all too unique individuals...our realities will get mixed and that influences outcome for all in the web. This just means that perspective rules reality for the individual, which really isnt reality at all. Its just how one interprets it to themselves.

So Sara what are you saying? I am trying to understand --we do or do not create our own realtiy.

Yes many are creating ----many things you want and many things you do not want.

Simply focus on the ones you do want .

And there is no competition , enough for eneryone , a constantly expanding "pile of stuff" and those who line up and get happy have the access to it.

So yes all you have to do is get happy

hmmm, Im also trying to understand : ) learning as I go here..

Do we create our own reality? Yes, and no.
There are elements of reality that we have control over and those that we dont.
If the entire world decided to follow and practice this theory, wonderful things would eventually happen all around.
Until that happens though, peoples negativity and positivity will still be able to have influence on each others reality, especially since whats positive/ negative is a matter of opinion, not tangible truth.
Getting happy is great, but sadness and anger, frustration are all valid emotions and necessary to fully appreciate getting happy..or are they?
Perhaps we can control our emotional reality, and this will influence what happens in our lives, but Im not convinced that it can make one bulletproof against incident, or change molecular structure.

What if what one wants is destructive? What if hurting people makes someone happy?

OK Sara all great ideas and statements and yes yes Yes anger and the negative emotions have their place and very important.
Here is a part of the book "How Green Smoothies Saved My Life" on anger

ANGER HAS ITS PLACE IN HELPING YOU FEEL BETTER
It is common to be told that “you should not get
angry.” This is not true or possible. When you are trying
to feel better from a place of depression or fear, you
are looking for a feeling of relief. Anger offers this relief
from a fearful mindset and you can really feel the shift if
you are paying attention.
When you go into anger, it is really a self survival
mechanism. This is why it feels so good to get angry if
you are stuck in a feeling of powerlessness. It feels like
you are taking back your power. To feel guilty about
being angry is not helpful. The trick is to understand
your anger and move up and out of it after it has served
you. There is no correct amount of time to stay in anger,
and everyone is of course different. My point is to know
that you went to anger on purpose, that it is serving
you and it is only temporary. The more you understand
and work with this powerful knowing, the better you will
get at moving up and out of anger quickly.
From anger you can move into a softer feeling of
frustration, to a little less frustration, to a feeling of
hopefulness, to a feeling of belief, to a feeling of
knowing that everything is going to work out fine. This is
another Abraham-Hicks teaching.
Once I found this life-enhancing information, I used it
to learn to move up out of anger quickly. It does take a
little practice, but you can do it.
One of my favorite ways to soothe someone when
they get upset is to say “anger is good.” This little
statement makes the person feel better automatically
instead of wasting energy and time feeling guilty for
being angry.
I remember when my children were little it was
common for me to say “don’t you throw a fit and get
mad.” This was because I had been taught that anger
was bad all of my life. I will never forget when I finally
got it that anger was a self survival mechanism. My
children were just doing what was best for them. This
was a revelation and changed everything for the better.
We know on a deep level that it feels great to let off a
little steam when needed. My children needed my
support and guidance, not to be told they were wrong to
go to anger.
Now, everyone in my family knows the power of
anger and how to use it. We know to move out quickly,
at our own pace. Now you do, too. This might take a
minute to sink in, but as you start playing with it, you
can expect to feel better and more in control of your
emotions than ever.
Once you understand the importance of anger, you
do not have to be afraid of it but can actually appreciate
and move it to a better place. Learning to just relax and
accept where you are is a perfect starting place to
getting anywhere you want to be."

And if hurting people makes someone feel better if you are in a good place most of the time

you will never be a vibrational match to rendivous with them. You are simply not a match and when you understand this and know it ---well then you have nothing to fear--how delightful. This is such a delicious conversation---thankyou

yummy indeed. I like what you say about needing to be a vibrational match in order to rendevous, it takes two for a manipulation to take place. Very true. Im interested in finding out more about Hicks LOA, because I do think there is probably good info on deprogramming yourself and rebuilding the psyche..but its going to take alot to convince me of it in its entirety.
Kim, youre a sweetie.

However, just because you have a vibrational match, does not mean that a child is somehow at fault for being kidnapped, that their energy is to blame for being in the situation. The circumstances simply stood in favor for the kidnapper.
