How “The Law of Attraction” ruined my life.

Фильм және анимация

Is the Law of Attraction and manifestation a scam? this video might be triggering for some who are die hard Law of Attraction advocates. I've been in the "spiritual" and "personal development" scene for a while now, watched KZreadrs and LOA teachers and I'd like to share some of my perspectives on manifestation, law of attraction, vision boards, visualization and all the things in between.

    It made me stay in an abusive relationship because “I could change him” and “it was all my fault” I almost ended my life so many times bc I already have depression but manifesting freaking ruined everything for me. I wasted so much time stressing over it and I can’t get that time back. I’m still trying to change the mindset and magical thinking but I made progress.

    I have been saying for years that positive thinking and law of attraction is dangerous! I tried it for many years and things only got worse! I have talked to MANY others who also tried it and things got worse for them as well! And it causes deep depression when people do this stuff and take it seriously and expect great things to happen. And when good things never come, it destroys them! it is easier to handle bad things when you are not hyped up expecting to get your desires and expecting good things. SO when people really believe a dream life will manifest, it makes it that much worse on them when nothing good comes and worse when bad things happen instead. Funny thing is they all say you MUST be positive and not negative. Yet being positive and doing these teachings are when the worst things happen to me. And it has always been when I felt angry, depressed and hopeless that anything good at all has happened for me. So it seems they have it backwards. And others have said the same thing. And if one more person says to me all of my desires are in my vibrational vortex I will scream! I cannot go to my landlord and say "hey, the rent check is vibrational and in your vortex"!

After my morning meditation I go build my business: 40 years later I reckon that the LOA works if you roll up your sleeves every day and get very busy creating what you want to create. Sitting on you ass all day achieves very little

    So, LoA works but only if you do physical things? What's the function of the Law of Attraction then? To help one be confident and positive so they'll go take action? I've also seen much more success from talking action and LoA. I've also not seen great results from pure action. In fact, I got diminishing results, even working really hard. Is that your point: you need both?

And started doing full moon rituals These all are crap I went through huge depression and lost contact with my family and friends.... I became lonely....

    Dude you are so spot on. Faith without works is dead and not many of you should become teachers. You don't need to be a Christian to appreciate these sayings. Another thing I would point out is there seem to be a lot of very young people that suppose themselves to be experts. When you're in your early 20s you may be very smart, talented, and gifted and maybe even had some unique experiences. But you still have not had the complete life experience of someone who has been around a lot longer. This goes for both proponents and critics of any kind of faith be it LOA or otherwise. I've found that chronic illnesses and difficult people and situations are not going to vanish just by raising your vibration. I also found that meditation actually works well on days when I'm feeling good but really doesn't do much on days when I'm feeling like crap. But you are completely right. You must take steps to reach goals whether you subscribe to a particular system of belief or not.

    What you want isn't always what you need. That's the problem. Sometimes it's better not to get what we want, especially on the long run. It's also dangerous to open up to the unknown or "the universe" cause you never know if its good or evil coming. Also getting too fixated on anything isn't okay. Flexibility is an important quality.

    I don't blame you for feeling the way you feel. I come from a Spiritual background (Wicca) and what I found very disturbing about law of attraction/manifestation is how so many of these coaches expect you to act passive in the process instead of active. You can't get rich by just thinking positive and saying affirmations alone you have to put in the work to achieve that intention and everyone's journey is going to look and feel a little different. I dislike the idea that every thought you think and every word you speak creates your reality because it essentially teaches people how to be scared of their own thoughts and or emotions when we should be in tune with what we're feeling in the moment regardless if its positive or negative its all part of being human. I do believe that there are aspects of the law of attraction that we can use in our lives without throwing the whole thing away. I find affirmations and visualization very helpful tools in life as well as occasionally expressing gratitude for the good we currently have in our lives.

    The thing with the law of attraction and other stuff like that, is that they are conceptualized ideas created by other people based on their experience and their knowledge. It is very hard to "follow" something when you do not fully understand it. It is best to take little tidbits of things that relate to your own life, formulate your own concepts then go from there.

    Planting seeds, following goals, maintaining a focus on what it is you want is conscious creation. That's what you'll reap. The percentage of time you're chasing other goals or questioning your worthiness is what makes it take longer. Act whrn you're feeling charged and excited. Daily maintenance is a matter of self-training. Do that also.

    This is only my view and experiences: Powerful and relatable message firstly. There are many loops that one can get stuck in together with missing links and can sink into judgements, attachment and setting high expectations that could lead to feeling lost,confused,dissapointed and not in a good mental spot so for me it deminished my power, divine connection and applying myself personally which in turn had effected my life in all aspects. This isnt to scare anyone but for others to take caution, be conscious and use their intuition. No right or wrong, we all have a journey to walk, just be aware of certain things that do/dont serve you well and im not slating concepts, this was just what I found. On point brother 👌.

    I used to be massively into manifesting and visualising, until I realised it’s an ego trap. We are source energy, and our only job is to allow source to experience life through us. This means we need to be present. If we are thinking about the future we are not in the present moment. Everything for our soul is already written in our soul contract. Manifesting is a distraction from connecting with our true nature (source/god)…it requires us to think thus giving the ego control. When we connect with our heart, we align with our souls true nature, and what’s meant for us will naturally unfold 🧘🏽‍♀️✨

    Hi! Sorry for my English, I'm Spanish. I loved your video. I grew up in a difficult (abusive) home and when I was younger spirituality helped me a lot. It is possible that it was an escape route. It made me feel some control. But over time, some of my beliefs were an impediment to my growth. I realized that I was engaging in addictive behaviors with this type of content and that I wasn't having the life I wanted. I started to question everything I believed in. I felt like there was no ground under my feet. I am now going to therapy and I'm in the process of accepting the uncertainty and frustration. I'm glad to see I'm not alone!

    I'm just a depressed atheist trying to find God and got suckered into LOA. I definitely want to believe in it; I want to believe that I can make myself happy enough to keep moving - that's it. But my issue is that my brain is slow. I struggle to be productive, that right now I can say it's making my life worse and worse. I don't just mean, "oh I can't do my homework" I mean, I am losing the ability to live healthily and financially solvent. All I want is a connection with God to know everything will be alright - to compel some sort of dopaminergic response. I essentially abuse nootropics, drink a shit ton of coffee, but I never feel happy enough to keep going. I feel worse; I feel broken; I feel depressed (whatever that actually means).

    I've wanted to believe in the Law of Attraction because it sounds so doable. It appears that it works for others. But I don't know what my AR (action required) is? Recently I told my therapist that I need homework - ACTION to move myself into a better space. So, I'm doing the work regarding that situation. Manifesting, as it's taught, sounds great - but without action on my part - it's sitting around thinking that my life will magically change simply because I thought about it. Tried it, didn't work. I love rituals and setting intentions - but as your implying - there must be action behind it! This is where I run into issues - getting up and doing the work. Sometimes I don't know what the work looks like for whatever it is that I'm trying to accomplish. Thank you, David.

    This is a great video for someone who's in basically the same position. At the risk of sounding crass/cynical, it seems that "spirituality", and all the cultural fluff that comes with it, is perhaps an extension of the fallacy of the fragile/fallible human mind; a sort of entrapment that some of us might unwittingly fall pray to. With the only antidote to actuating real-world development being the realization that these mental rigmaroles could serve as a stepping stone to a truly pragmatic, objective understanding of life and all its tumultuous and sometimes incoherent forms. It seems the only constant in our lives is the fact that action and accountability takes us closer to an actual "manifestation" of our goals than its less practical alternatives. And as hard and harsh as that sounds, it seems to bring the most tangible results. 😊Once again, many thanks for your thoughtful, honest takes

    The part about people making money off teaching others to make money stood out, I had that thought about art teaching a few years ago. Ie do people study art, just to become art teachers who teach others how to make art, but all anyone can become is an art teacher? Or do some people make money from art, other than rare celebrity artists. I is something I think about a lot. I hope it's not true, but I've had to become very mindful and somewhat skeptical of online courses. I think there needs to be so much more regulation for online courses that promise people careers/wealth building/knowledge of how to build a property portfolio/how to get hired in certain industries when really the course is just a scam to make the course teacher rich. There is one woman who I know funds two online courses with different teachers and I can't help feeling like she is a grifter who is very good at promising things to course attendees through various techniques when all she is doing is making herself a lot of cash. One thing they do is have a few kernels of wisdom packaged up in mountains of filler so you're technically getting some content (making it hard to report them) but nowhere near enough of your money's worth.

    What you said at 4:20 is the crucial "holy grail" missing ingredient that most of those practitioners are leaving out; "ACTION" ... as in what Dan Pena and David Goggins espouse to. IE...rolling up your f*#@ing sleeves and taking physical, non-stop action on your goal. And one more thing: Don't tell anyone about your ultimate goal. Just work like hell while flying under the radar until you've achieved it. Then surprise the hell out of everyone once you've reached it.

    It's so true about the money. There is a teacher called The Rosey Life. She has just introduced a 6 month coaching programme for 12.500 USD!!! I mean...good for her!!! But it's ridiculous. Her philosophy is: We are all Gods. Just be the I AM and choose what you want. Keep claiming it and it will come to you. You do not have to do anything. Hey, maybe I should make a course!! 😂 I'm so intrigued by this, because she only has positive comments on her channel (okay she did say in a video that she would delete any comment doubting the teachings, because she didn't want any negativity there), but still, lots of positive comments from people loving it all....

    you can manifest and still be functional and live your life somewhat the same...don't let it take over, just use it as an aside...not letting all shit go, no job, long hair etc. That is an excuse. You can visualize and practice manifestation techniques all while trying to do what you have to in the 3D world. I've manifested a few things, it does work if you detach...and just practice it for fun without making it an obsession - the No 1 reason why nothing works is when you Don't really believe and are asking where is it? Live the same, don't give a shit, and have faith it will work and don't give a crap when it doesn't...that's the key to really unlocking the powers of LOA. IF IT RUINS YOUR LIFE, IT WILL NEVER WORK...THAT'S WHY IT DIDNT! as soon as you're obsessed with a result, you're not getting anywhere. Act as if it will work and still live like you don't practice anything close to manifestation.

    Found my way here after becoming close to demented with "The Law Of Attraction" and realising that nebulous terms like "energy" and "vibration" are never quantified. Surely, if energy and vibration are how this works, then it should be measurable. I need to know what frequency to vibrate at to match the experience I want. But how do you measure an experience? It's just fluff and pseudoscience. It would be incredible if it were true however.

    Fun manifestation story. So I met with an old college teacher yesterday who I haven't seen in YEARS and we got to talking about future goals. I have been in the process of going through my bucket list and one of them was singing in a band. Obviously there are many ways to go about this and one is just assembling the band myself. But last night I decided to browse through Craigslist and there was a casual band specifically looking for a female lead in her 40s and they are nearby. This meets all of my criteria. So, do I go see what they are about or do I keep waiting? Lol Next step is obviously action or inaction.

    Help! My vibration isn't high enough! I need to ying-yang me chakras.... or summat. 🤣 Totally agree about TLoA. I've always thought it was BS. There really aren't many short cuts for most people, because the nature of "luck" is that we are not all lucky. Hard work is much more reliable! I keep telling my daughter, who is an aspiring actress, that many famous actors are the children or grandchildren of other famous actors. They keep it in the family. This happens simply because the family already know all the people at the film companies etc. Plus they know other actors. They are already "in the loop". My daughter is quite averse to hard work, although she appears to be quite good at learning lines, she doesn't like practising. She is well on her way to spaffing up her GCSEs unfortunately. I mean, fingers crossed and everything.... I love her dearly. My ex went through a phase of watching really sketchy "Christian" KZreads which were obviously applying law of manifestation BS. So all the prayers were kinda manifestation prayers, of the Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz type. I consider it quite selfish just to pray for yourself. I rarely do it.

    for me the best and biggest trap was believing in twinflame. 🤦 I saw twinflame in every potential partner. I'm spiritual, but I approached it more rationally. but Alan Watts had the best effect on me. we actually live in something like an illusion of self. we reflect what is inside us. I fell into cycles that repeated themselves until I finally recognized them. It's best to not give a damn and enjoy life. Everything will work out if you stop worrying about anything. something went wrong. look at where the mistake was and move on. Don't take anything personally. it really frees you from suffering. even if people complain, it's their problem, not yours. the fact that they're picking on each other means that they have a problem with themselves, but it doesn't mean that it's about you. With this approach you will seriously win in life. because this life is some kind of fucking game, you have to learn how to play it and not give a fuck about it. be happy.

    As I understand it, the "law of attraction" works based on feelings. I don't know if "faith" is the right word, but "feeling" must be, they all say. Once you have achieved some sort of "feeling", the manifestation is complete. You don't need to do anything to get the result. It's up to the universe to figure out a way to give you a million dollars or whatever, if that was your goal. No physical activity like buying a lottery ticket is required. A meteorite falls in your garden, you survive and it costs a million dollars. This is how LOA works. But the tricky part is that you never know if it was that "right feeling" or something else... maybe you were only halfway there and the meteorite changed course. It's all comedy.

    I fully respect your video and think it's important to raise concerns within the "new age/spirtual community" it's very true that a lot of fake people exist within the community and spread a lot of false info and scams which sadly people fall for. However I personally disagree, I think LOA is real and does work if done properly in the most polite way I think you are probably not doing LOA in the correct way, you may need to take part in deeper shadow work first and then reprogram your subconscious through subliminals, your also probably not saying your affirmations often enough or in the correct way. You also have to actively work upon what your manifesting. If you do follow these steps then I'm sure LOA would work for you. Hope this didn't come across rude and is helpful.
