"The Law of Attraction", THE 2ND GREATEST STORY EVER SOLD!

Well, this is a "hot" topic so I guess it needs to be addressed.  Firstly, like the Bible, Koran and the Course in Miracles; the people that made up "The Law of Attraction" believe that it's true and most take it very seriously. I used to be one of them.  We "Scriptists" know that we made up The Script and don't take it seriously.(we do like it bolded however lol)  We only offer this make-believe teaching to those that can benefit from how it feels to believe it.  The Law of Attraction, now referred to as LOA is often considered "fact" and that's where the trouble starts.  First I'll address how it hurts folks and then I'll give an option on how to use LOA for a guaranteed instant gratification.

I know so many folks who have substituted the guilt of not properly applying LOA to their lives for the guilt of not being in God's favor from their previous religious beliefs. I have heard hundreds of frustrated folks wondering why their lives have not worked out in relationships, finances, health, career, etc, like it was so clearly depicted in "The Secret" and other LOA tauting books and DVDs.  Angelina and I dove in deep to all of that and our lives clearly proved that in most cases, these tools actually worked.   That created a bit of superiority at our ability to "do it right" and pity for those who had "blocks" etc.  That never felt good or fair to us.  I've even spent the last 15 years of my life teaching it. Ouch! Still, we believed LOA was factual so just accepted that we were better at it than most and much worse at it than the folks that had an "oceanfront dream house" and a "commercially successful career".(which we still hope is scripted for us. lol)  Of course the LOA folks would say "you need to see yourself as having your oceanfront dream house and commercially successful career or you won't prepave the road to them and you can only attract what you are in vibrational harmony with."   blah, blah, blah.  That sounds like a great way to get folks to buy into a dogma that is effective in selling books, seminars, workshops, DVDs, Cd's etc.  LOA-The 2nd Greatest Story ever Sold!  Unfortunately, most of us in the human potential movement have the same ego desire to be superior/inferior as we did when we bought into other religions.  We got the awareness that there was more to life than what we were taught in our youth and then "bought into" these "more expanded" philosophies with the same mentality that we had before.

Here's part of the challenge: The Torah and Old Testament are believed to be the Word of God. The New Testament and Course in Miracles are believed to be the Words of Jesus (who by many is the same as God). The Koran is believed to be the words of Mohammad (who by many is the same as God).  Firstly, Word of God seems oxymoronish (is that a word?) since words are of the flesh and God is not.  Secondly, who's to say that Jesus and Mohammad didn't graduate from MSU (making shit up) just like I did?

OK, enough with the inflammatory stuff.  How can we use LOA in the way I believe all teachings are originally intended....to help us find peace and comfort as we navigate Planet Disney. When you think thoughts that feel good, you are immediately transported into a place of Joy.  I love when "Abraham" (a group of non-physical entities channeled through Esther Hicks) says "your emotions are your guidance system."  This is so simple.  Think thoughts that are positive and you will have the accompanying emotions that feel good.  Do the opposite and the opposite occurs.  When you feel "good" it is an indication that your thoughts are in alignment with feeling good.  That pretty much sums up the impetus for The Script.  How many women have looked in the mirror and said "I'm my perfect ideal weight" and felt like crap afterwards knowing that they don't f'ing believe that?  More in alignment with feeling good would be to say "I'm so lovable and beautiful even though I'm not at my ideal weight".  How many men have said "I'm wealthy and my career is kicking ass" and felt like killing themselves afterwards knowing that they don't f''ing believe that and have no idea how to change it?  More in alignment with feeling good would be to say "I'm prosperous in all the ways that truly matter regardless of what my bank account, ego mind or peers think".  LOA to me says "when you think thoughts and believe them, you will attract emotions that are in alignment with those thoughts and beliefs.  This may or may not change your physical world but it will definitely change your experience of your physical world.  Since imagination and experience are much more important than knowledge, wouldn't it be better to imagine and experience a rich, healthy, rewarding life than to actually have one???
