For everyone saying "not at all", just think about it. Can people in an area affected by war just start thinking positively and stop the war? Can people who suffer from abject poverty just wish the poverty away? What about people who live in areas that have no electricity, no clean water, no vaccines, no healthcare, not enough food - can positive thinking get them all these things? When you're affected by complicated issues that were caused by difficult and inhumane social, economic, political and historical factors, positive thinking and Law of Attraction won't get you what you need - deep and thorough social and systemic change and improvements in the areas of agriculture, politics, healthcare and employment will. If, however, you are a person living in a developed country who's got a steady, decent income and isn't marginalised in some way (aka, privileged), positive thinking could seemingly improve your life. I think that's what Mic was trying to say.

I know many people who have lived through wars (WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf Wars, people from Sudan, Syria, etc) as civilians and as military combatants. I never heard any one of them say that they made it through by giving up hope or by giving in to fear and negative thoughts. They all used hope, positive thinking and or faith in God to get them through.

Im not here to prove loa is real and the infinity of information and that possibilities of the universe or beyond human comprehension,but there are the different perspectives to look at it,and every single variation of how you perceive and approach everything is true.if you keep worrying that your intrusive"bad" thoughts are manifesting and the" good"are not,then why are the bad manifesting?There are no good are bad things the universe is neutral ,only this civilization labeled one phenomena as bad and other good because we were raised with that "truth"and never dared to ask is there another one.And the so called LOA doesnt have one specific or even a 100 ways of how to transform current(programmed)realities into other experiences,we come up with ways and tha law is operating at all time,but psychology sees it as a placebo or bias,physics sees is from an energy stand point,the ones that believe in gods think its god and so on.Sorry for the long comment,darling,the thing is dont resist those intrusive thoughts let them be,and practice simple practices that allow you to adopt new thinking patters,like gratitude journaling,or just thinking pleasant things without obsesing over the manifestation,you will just get tha state of obsession running around in circles .If the INPUT(your thinking and behavior doesnt change) the OUTPUT (the external world,and everything you see)doesnt either,stop listening to gurus and listen to your intuition and intend to navigate your mind in a certain direction.

Your intrusive thoughts aren’t the essence of you!, just like mine aren’t the essence of me. 99% of the thoughts we have each day are monkey babble.

Rosangela Sena my comment has more to do with compassion and fairness. For example many religions pray for the poor and sick. It also has to do with the smugness and privileged position of many people concerning the law of attraction. It seems sometimes that the law is practiced by people who already have the basics of food and shelter, but want to be rich, or want a cool boyfriend, etc. It feels superficial to me when other people in this world are wondering how they’ll stay alive. Those people may have free will, but they are so swamped by the reality of survival, that they don’t even know what the law of attraction is, and to think that they could use it to say get out of an enormous refuge camp in an impoverished 3rd world country is unrealistic.

I also find the 'law' to be a little bit obnoxious and patronising when we consider, say, people who live in poverty in say, the Third World. Do those people just have to think 'more positively' and visualuse, meditate, believe, etc, in order to manifest better lives? It is a little sickening on our part to say such things, you know?

Believing in LOA has done more harm to me than good. Whenever I used to visualize something and not get it. I would just feel that something is wrong with me. That I'm not thinking positive enough. And also LOA influences 'Toxic Positivity'. When I was a strong believer in the LOA. And whenever I used to have a negative thought. I would just ignore that feeling or shove it down. It did work in the short term. But this has a more damaging effect in the long term. Because the more you suppress your emotions the more you will suffer. You know what has helped me is accepting things for what they are. And being in the moment.

I relate to this

I was duped into believing the LOA for years. I spent so much time dreaming and visualizing that I didn't confront the truth of my currently reality, that I was unhappy with my life and used the law of attraction as a way to avoid the problems I was experiencing, in hopes that I could wish for a new life and it would magically appear. Once I dropped the nonsense and stood firmly rooted in reality, I took charge of my life, changed the things that weren't working, and created the things I had been dreaming of. Now I'm living the life I wanted, but it had nothing to do with dreaming, visualizing, or thinking positive thoughts. What it came down to was hard work, being realistic about my circumstances, making an action plan, and taking responsibility for my actions and choices. Also, I watched "The Secret" for 75 days straight in an effort to really believe, and in speaking with others and watching the movie with them, I discovered that there are several versions of the movie, which struck me as odd. The version that you watched is completely different than the others I've seen. Doesn't really prove anything, but it's interesting nonetheless.

However, in my experience I’m torn because I’ve done everything to the T for years and I have manifested different things but its been very inconsistent. I’m still torn on whether it’s real or not

As someone who's suffered with obsessive compulsive disorder for the vast majority of my life, the idea that my thoughts create my reality has caused me a hell of a lot of pain and guilt. OCD often involves 'intrusive thoughts' which are unpleasant thoughts, often involving harm to people you love, and people with OCD attribute a lot of importance and suffer massive, debilitating anxiety over these thoughts. The idea that thoughts will cause reality is literally the opposite of what every qualified psychologist has ever told me, and for a while when I was trying to buy into the LOA despite my better judgement, it caused me even more distress than I feel every day anyway.

you need to study LOA before coming up with a conclusion like this. whatever we believe is what will continue to manifest. our reality can be whatever we want it to be. if you want to give into having the label of a mental illness you absolutely can, but there are ways to train your subconscious mind & give it an entirely different belief of what your current situation is. LOA is not "consistently thinking positively" it's training your mind to change it's reactions to negative situations etc. human beings cannot be positive all the time. vibrational frequencies and what we attract is just quantum physics, you can change your vibration and change your reality. you'd be blown away with the information you can discover with just learning about how LOA truly works. i thought it was nonsense when i first found out about it but all i had to do was dive a little deeper. also, the ego has a very hard time accepting the fact that we attract everything that comes to us. but energy and vibrations are science, facts don't care about feelings.

I use to cut myself and wallow in my misery 24-7. But I haven't been depressed for nearly 15 years, don't show signs of any of these "illnesses" they try to label us with. I use to have racing thoughts and purposefully focused on thinking absolutely nothing, it took a lot of focus in the beginning, having to force the negative thoughts from my mind. But eventually the thoughts ceased and were replaced with nothing but happy, positive thoughts. Now when it comes to having something like missing chromosomes, leading you to having permanent issues.

You are so refreshing. ♡ Absolutely, the "law of attraction" is essentially, noticing whatever you focus on. And while it's important to wake up and take notice of the abundance of opportunities, and come up with creative ways to influence these opportunities in a way that steers you towards your goals, or adapt your goals to the opportunities available to you... the notion that being perceptive, proactive, or a creative problem solver is some kind of mystical magic, is based in a primitive mindset, and unfortunately throughout history, people have used obscure concepts like god, magic, psychic power, etc, to take advantage of gullible people, usually for financial gain. In this case, viral topics like the "law of attraction" attract a lot of views, book sales, seminar audiences, retreat attendees, because it's easier to sell snake oil than teach life skills... and if the people selling this info had those life skills, they wouldn't need to rely on "The Emperor’s New Clothes" click bait to peddle their nonsense.

I might be the black sheep in the comments but as someone who considers themselves an intellectual and who studied Astrophysics and quantum science for 6 years, I actually grew to appreciate the law of attraction more after studying it. The science you provided for quantum mechanics explains the common ‘proof’ really well (observing a system does change it but only because we have to observe it with light which changes the tiny sub particles we are observing) but it didn’t address the other common quantum mechanical relationship to law of attraction which is quantum entanglement. It basically is a phenomenon where 2 subatomic particles can be separated by infinite space time and connected by no physical force but when one is affected, the exact same effect shows up on the other. Scientifically everything in the universe is connected in ways that even the the most knowledgeable physicists can’t explain. Doesn’t necessarily prove a relationship to thoughts but I think it does show that energy and vibration (including emotions) matter way more than we can understand at this point. As far as the “magical” part, I understand the LOA as not necessarily envisioning something happening but invoking the feeling of achieving what you what to happen and feeding that feeling and energy constantly until it manifests which relates back to the physics side of it. Im a big fan of the LOA and your content, I’ve seen almost all your videos and love what you bring to KZread especially for your age! I’ve had life changing outcomes from changing my mindset in the name of LOA (whether that was the actual cause or not) If anything, like you said, applying it won’t do any harm in your life 😊

If everything is connected in ways scientists can’t even explain, then I don’t see how anyone can make the claim that quantum entanglement is evidence for the law of attraction.

I study theoretical physics, and I can absolutely say that double slit experiment (or anything quantum physics related) does not explain the 'law' of attraction. :D What it says it that matter has wave-like properties, which is cool because that enables us to treat particles mathematically as waves. And about the collapse of the wavefunction (when the particle is measured and behaves like a particle again), well, no one knows what the heck is happening there. But the statement that you don't need a conscious observer is, as far as I know, true.

People in general need to think more critically of the information they consume and attempt to get a more rounded picture of the topics that interest them.

I have bipolar disorder and deal with severe depression. I fell into this trap through Tiktok tarot readings and "channeled messages" because I was lost and searching for a meaning to my life. A "why," if you will. I did this because I felt unable to find one on my own so I kept looking and thought I'd found one. I did all the things they suggested. I meditated, changed my mindset, watched reiki videos, and kept coming back to the readings. I started noticing that while I may have felt more capable, my mental state was becoming more irate and sensitive. I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that I was being had. Last night, I searched up "deconstructing new age spirituality" on KZread and found your channel. I like many of the points you make. I also think much of what is attributed to the "law of attraction" is merely confirmation bias. Thank you for being a voice of reason amidst all this misinformation.

It's 2am working grave shift and I'm so glad I found you. I think so similar to you and have these conversations with people and now I can hear it. Especially being put together so intelligently. Already been listening to a few videos couple hours now.

The law of attraction is essentially religion. I don't think there is anything particular wrong with believing in it as long as it's not hurting others.

Well the thing is it can hurt others depending on how it's used especially if you read other top comments where people end up blaming themselves for not being able to manifest because they think they aren't believing hard enough,they are negative hence it's their fault and so on. Or it's their fault that something bad happened to them or their loved ones because they attracted negativity..if you check the comments They say many ppl blamed themselves for their loved ones death or any personal misfortune because they thought they were negative n negativity attracted those misfortunes. That's the kind of psychological damage this can do. and believing something will happen without actions can make us prone to not taking action and only thinking about it which can waste out time .. Also that all depends on what law of attraction a person is talking about because as the video says there is no one definition of it..some ppl believe law of attraction is just positive thinking and defend it but it's much more than that,if ppl just believe in positive thinking with actions and logical thinking without suppressing negative emotions that actually helps but that isn't what most law of attraction preachers teach Another way it hurts ppl is financially is that many ppl get scammed out of huge amounts of their money in places where law of attraction is used eg. Mlms,cults, spirituality retreats and scams use law of attraction In a way that can brainwash and gaslight people if it's truly continuously fed and incorporated into their lifestyle..think about how horribly guilty people will feel If they can't attract what they want and always blame themselves and their thoughts for any misfortunes instead of figuring out a logical realistic solution That may have worked long ago If they weren't trapped in delusion of law of attraction. Obv for ppl that believed in it for second and didn't make any financial decisions regarding it it might be nothing but a fleeting thought but to people that deeply believe and apply it into every core of their life entirely it can be a disaster. It's similar to how people believe god will give you what you pray for hence ppl focus more on prayer than on actions and even though the result might have been far better if they had worked on it They try to find multiple coincidental good things that happen and call it a proof of god's help while ignoring everything that went wrong because they didn't work on it or if they do Acknowledge the bad it d b because of devil than admitting it could be because of coincidence/because they didn't work on it (in this case thing that's blamed is negativity). So truth is quite grey and not as one sided as it's harmful or harmless because there isn't even a proper definition of it Since the individual has to decide what the definition is and many ppls can differ but when LOA is used in the market to scam ppl (I m not talking abt healthy non toxic positive thinking by LOA which is ok) it's more in the dark grey and good parts are the exception.

All in all theres a reason people are duped though.. Its because of mass psychological manipulation and brainwashing any scams do, what seems basic logic to us outside the world Can seem distant when a whole hall/stadium full(if you saw mlm seminars) or group of ppl are agreeing with it and it can make ppl doubt their logic when popular opinion is subconsciously considered right one, probably due to human psychology of Sticking with the herd so us outside who havent experienced the brainwashing can feel like they r fools for believing it Until someone explains their side.. Eg. If lot of ppl like a song but you don't and its not clearly horrible but subtly average/bad one is more likely to believe its good But its their fault they didn't like it since so many ppl did instead of understanding that in internet world its more about marketing and money too that can make a song grow. Similarly even if your(anyones) opinion is correct in a whole bunch of incorrecg comments in a comment section one might be slightly b hesitant to post the comment due to slightly subconsciously doubting themselves as to whether they are right/wrong and might want to reverify it to avoid embarrassment.. Kind of how its easier to go with the flow or population than against it.. and it can affect ppl that dont have information on the topic/have no means Of verifying the information given and sometimes if its convincing enough with new concept that the victim hasnt kept up with despite being aware of the topic they might think they were misinformed and fall for it anyway If they thought they were incorrect just because they couldn't come up with an answer themselves (so even ppl that are aware end up needing to verify n update n refresh their knowledge regarding it if thy dont wanna Accidentally fall for it.)..

i never believe to things like ‘manifest a friend, a crush or a specific person’ but i think our mind is a very powerful thing. If you convinced yourself that the law of attraction will help you to be more positive and to focus better on your goals, it will work to open your eyes and find more chances or maybe get better in something (because you convinced your self that is the law of attraction, even if maybe you just become more present and learn to take chances) in fact there aren’t profs about law of attraction simply because it’s a thing we create in our mind to help us to achieve our goals. For me the law of attraction has helped me to become more confident, happy and consistent with my activities. Maybe i just grow up (i am a lazy 16 old) but this gave me the power to continue to be consistent.

Update?

The law of attraction is widely misunderstood. You can't attract something with just your thoughts. The attraction does not work if there's no action in it. All these books make it seem like you can manifest something over night. They tell you to think positive all the time and that doesn't work because you'll be suppressing all the negative things and that will make it even worse. I cringe whenever I hear stuff like "only good vibes" because that is just fake happiness. And it's true like you said, it's mostly greedy people who want more than they need. According to science everything that exists is energy and energy vibrates in different frequencies. Our emotions are energy. We are constantly manifesting different things and happenings with our energy whether we are aware of it or not. Most of us aren't and the majority isn't even in control of their own emotions (energy). We let other peoples opinions and actions make us angry/sad. We create scenarios in our heads that causes anxiety=stress which is proven to cause all kinds of physical illness in long term. And it doesn't help that we live in a corrupt society that is ruled by fear. Our outside world is a reflection of our inner world. The low energy of fear has been growing inside of us for decades and it literally heats up the planet and creates havoc. People in developing countries don't have the privilege to be thinking about these kinds of things because most of them are living in survival mode all of the time. We who have this privilege are responsible to together change the system and that starts with changing the energy of the collective. We have to look ourselves in the mirror and start having control of our emotions and tame our egos. It takes years. Nothing happens overnight and certainly not without taking action. It's good that the law of attraction and the topic of energy is being more discussed nowadays but things get misunderstood and people write books with misinformation and the whole point gets lost. This is the longest comment I've ever written and I thank you if you took the time to read it 😂 "Everything's energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics." - Albert Einstein

So true!! So often we think we manifest something and it's actually selective attention!

I love this interpretation. Although I practice a lot of these 'positive' practices, I also am a science major and understand the flimsy science behind it. Still makes me feel good :)

Reality is more like a mirror. Most often than not you attract what you are, and what you feel. If you're always worried about dying you're not going to attract more death, but more reasons to be worried. You attract more of the emotion that you feel, and not really the experiences. So when you visualise what you want, it's the emotion that comes with it that you are attracting, not the actual thing you visualise.

The ads that KZread puts on this video are ironically hilarious. 🤣

I used to be very spiritual but one of the main things that stopped me from believing in it was specifically the LOA. I have ADHD so whenever people would urge me to focus on what I want it would always fail and I was worried something was wrong with me. I feel like LOA and other such beliefs are so strong because privileged (white, rich, neurotypical) people would conveniently forget their privilege and just label LOA for the cause of their success. As a POC living in poverty I already had a limited amount of things to "manifest" from the getgo. I still love meditating, tarot and astrology and I don't want to give them up because they are fun hobbies but I've been adopting a more critical and scientific eye towards these things because I find that it actually produces results. The comment that "science can't prove everything" boils my blood because science itself is about proving things inherently. The scientific method is going out and figuring things out if they're true. That's literally what it is. And I think I'm going to rely on it more from now on.

Hi, Anna! I am so relieved to find your channel. I, too, follow a (mostly) vegan/plant-based lifestyle, and am environmentally conscious and aiming to further reduce my consumption in all areas of life. I take guidance from eastern philosophy and meditation, as well as being in nature, yoga, and being around animals. A lot of the folks on KZread who are geared towards my interests are also not the best critical thinkers/researchers out there, whether that comes to looking at the nutrients in their diets, or their thoughts on manifestations, vaccines, etc. etc. There's a lot of semi-esoteric "positive thought" that goes along with these lifestyle choices in some circles that I just can't get behind, and find alienating. It's really a relief to see another young female who is skeptical about some of the claims that tend to accompany these other inclinations, but I also love the fact that you do it in a way that's soft-spoken and funny, instead of aggressive at all. It's been so nice finding your channel and I subscribed. I hope you keep writing on your blog, too! :)

Based on my experiences law of attraction is real but a lot of people are sugar-coating everything they say.

I feel as though people either believe it to the point of not really realizing how science is connected to it or there are people who simply do not understand it at all. I have found that I am a bit torn on the subject simply because there seems to be so much that we still do not know. I think that it does exist in some way because Manifestation and LOA just make sense scientifically if you really think about it.

Yes, not everything can be "proved" by science. Science changes and evolves, too. A "fact" is just an experience that a group of observers had (scientists) that they can all agree matched their prediction outcome. Who are these scientists? How do we know all the facts we are told by these scientists are real, if we haven't experienced them for ourselves? In my opinion, LOA is just a watered down form of magick. Does it work? I have tried it and in my experience, it did work. Could I prove it to someone else? No. But that doesn't change my experience. I don't like LOA however because I don't like that form of magick. It's too fake/phony, it's popular with very rich very white people, it doesn't address the negative/dark side of life, it teaches people to suppress emotions. But. It still works. What does it matter if I can't prove it to you? I have already proven it to myself. It's your choice if you want to try it and see if it works for you. And if it doesn't? Then that means it's not true. FOR YOU.

the problem with the mainstream concept of law of attraction is that there are so many other laws that are operating, such as law of cause and effect, law of freewill, law of polarity, law of resistance, law of action blah blah and nothing is black and white and no one is all good or all bad. Since end of last year, i had many experiences in which i questioned and challenged a lot of things that was happening and that i saw coming and there is so much factors at play. If people used psychology, spirituality and energy to inform them and their life, they can come to certain truths that is not limited to their beliefs and narratives.

The whole physics aspect of law of attraction is real. But I wouldn't call it law of attraction. It's just energy frequencies within the brain. I do not believe you can think yourself to success, but than again, I've seen people do extraordinary things by just "thinking". I think you need to believe what you want and work at it. Not just sit around and wish. An example for you, is KZread. You have what, 130k subs.

@@user-ib2bt4ck7y as someone who is taking a physics degree I have learned quite a bit of information outside of university thanks to the internet. So I agree that it's definitely a nuanced issue. However there is a *very* big difference between someone telling you a cool Quantum Physics fact vs. someone using Quantum Physics to justify other claims they are making, specifically otherwise unfalsifiable claims. If someone tells you that Quantum Mechanics proves them right and they don't have a degree in that field or they did not provide a source to an independent study or research paper in a well respected academic journal, then you should be immediately skeptical. Additionally they should also be able to actually explain the Quantum Physics behind it too. If you don't have a degree that shows you know what you're talking about, you better prove it by showing what you actually know. The issue is that with subjects like QM most people aren't trained enough to be able to sniff out rubbish, which is why it is always safer to trust Physics information from a Physics major.

I do however have more 'faith' in some of the principles of the LoA, I do believe in our mind's ultimate capability to form our desired reality, through thoughts bringing about belief, reducing self-doubt and generally positive living. You're certainly not 'being dumb', you make valid points, however as I know you appreciate, all these concepts and claims are very complex, as is the human mind. Maybe we can never fathom the reality of our minds' power, however these conversations bring us slower closer to an enhanced understanding of why things happen, allied with our wishes and against. Thanks Anna for this!

Thank you for this. I am changing my mind about manifestation and new age spirituality. Your videos were very helpful. 💗

For example, as children we often unconsciously were using the law of attraction just by enjoying our imagination. In my case almost none of my childish dreams manifested in my further life, despite the fact that I was very vividly dreaming. I've learnt that only wise actions make favourable reactions. Our inner attitiude is also some kind of action.

This is very interesting, thanks so much for putting this together. I’ve found it interesting that the author of the audiobook spent so much time criticising Christianity only to proceed to employ the very same techniques herself: victim blaming and shaming, you didn’t pray hard enough, you didn’t do your manifestation right - whenever something doesn’t work in your life it’s your own fault - and don’t ask questions because you know the answers already/God works in mysterious ways. That drives me nuts. In a country with such a big part of the population being Christians - how do they not see that they’re being sold the same BS in a new package? That’s the secret I think, re-sell people something that is already proven to work to keep people wanting but not getting, keeping them from taking action and making them feel bad about themselves if it’s not working. That Rhonda woman made a fortune with that book - it’s obscene in my humble opinion. Could you please review Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way? It’s super popular but I’ve found it downright harmful.

If you are already manifesting this to be demonic because you BELIEVE IT IS, There for in your reality, it is demonic. Use your head. You’re literally using the law of attraction all the time. You can’t run from it with religion. Sorry dude, get over it.

Have fun believing a book that’s been re written multiple times to control society and push people into a cult. Like they say, ignorance is bliss.

Thanks for making this great video. Scientific illiteracy is a huge problem right now, and has always lead directly to hucksters and scammers. Scepticism and hard questioning are necessary in all facets of life.

I want to congratulate you on your intelligent analysis of the LoA, very balanced and thoughtful. I can see you being very successful in this life, growing your already fertile and inquisitive mind and well balanced approach to varied interesting subjects. Keep it up!

I absolutely love your channel. So refreshing to have a grounded perspective. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, so very helpful for me!

For me LOA is thinking positive and not any toxic positivity and just observe your thoughts and take action... And believe in yourself

My interpretacion of the law of atraction is positive. Positive thinking can bring about great changes in your life and the people around you. Great video

Thank you for taking the huge effort and research required to make this video.

This LOA theory that your thoughts really do cause events in your life, both good or bad depending on your mindset terrified me and was the final straw that lead to my breakdown a few years back. Sometimes life just goes bad and sometimes people can go through a bad period in their life that may last several months or more through no fault of their own. Outside circumstances sometimes trap you in bad situations for a while and no matter how positive you think you can't change change that. I literally believed that my thoughts caused my abuse and that my negative thoughts and fears associated with my cptsd will cause them to come true and whenever something bad happened I blamed myself and was terrified of my own thoughts and feelings

I believed, or at least tried to believe in LOA for so long up until now and it hurts because I wanted to believe in it so badly. It made sense to me then but now I realize it doesn’t. Now that I think about it I think the LOA community may be some sort of cult. The reason I held on to it for so long was to try to escape my reality and my problems and imagine a fantasy life waiting for me if I believed it would come. Maybe I might believe in it again bc my beliefs are always changing, but as of right now I am definently questioning it

I have the same problem; if I imagine myself being on a funeral of someone, will that kill them?

I am so not sorry for this comment but your voice sounds so soothing, just like a voice I’d hear on pysch2go videos. Bliss

The photon explanation is correct. In order to observe an electron we have to shine light on it. Light has energy and so the addition of the light's energy into the system disrupts the electron's behaviour.

The law of attraction is not just about idly sitting by and watching life go by. It is about positive thought followed up by action. One should try to think positively and act on it, without the acting on, nothing will happen. One must put in the work. We should all think more positively, and be kinder to ourselves in our own thoughts and actions.

Then what you are saying is that the law is NOT real, it hold not independent and magical attraction. Basically, what you're saying is be positive and take action. Action produces results. That's quite normal and ordinary. You needn't invent and invoke a non-existent "law."

If it worked, then why is no one doing Superman tier actions? Flight, Lazer eyes, super strength. Etc.

I really like the way you can explain your points! I dont believe in the stuff you explore, but your videos are always great to watch.

no one is saying there is no action involved. "Inspired action" is sometimes needed depending on the power of your mind and emotions

The whole "law of attraction" as scientific fact thing is just the side of it you see when people are trying to profit from converting others to their belief. The law of attraction is something I work with, but from a purely spiritual place. These "evangelists" have it backwards, positive thinking doesn't just get you whatever you want. However if your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual sides aren't all in alignment with your goals, that can very much hold you back from the good things that come to you. But just like your negative thoughts my hold you back from attracting what you want, lack of action or the WRONG physical actions can hinder you equally. Basically: law of attraction is spirituality, and anyone who tries to prove spirituality is doomed to fail because spirituality is only "true" through an individual's personal experience and perspective.

@@AnnasAnalysis there is no settled definition of spirituality I can really point you toward unfortunately. I think I'd say spirituality is the aspect of one's self that lies outside scientific and historical fact. The soul. Deeply held beliefs. Magic *°•☆ if you will. And the law of attraction, as you discovered, is just that, a deeply held belief that has no basis in scientific fact. It just *feels* right. Unfortunately the "law of attraction" has made its way from the spirituality section of the bookstore to "self help", and that is when people start trying to explain it with science and trying to prove it is effective for everyone. The truth is, the "law of attraction" is only effective if you believe it because it's not a natural law, it's simply psychology with some glitter and magic sprinkled on top. And good god I love me some magic dusted psychology. It's like cognitive behavioral therapy with pixie dust. But...ugh, it just really pains me to see it being preached as this life changing law of nature. It's like a lucky charm, it's great that it works for you, it's great that it's worked for a ton of people, but you can't go around selling lucky charms and promising people it will fix their life. That feels deeply unethical and irresponsible to me.

as a person that believe in the loa and that know people that use it, i fell like this is like subliminals, you will only get what you want if you have positive thoughts about it and if you really believe that loa is real. i'm not saying that the loa is a super functional thing and that is easy to use it, for some people it doesn't work or it take months/years to work. i can't explain how it works or why it works for some people and doesn't work for other people but i believe that if you really want to do the loa, you need to focous in having positive thoughts and you need to visualize what you really want, but the most important thing is have faith that it is working :)

To begin with the belief that it works will lead almost all to draw conclusions that support that belief. Having faith something will work and then having events occur that you decide are proof that the thing works does not mean it actually does work, just that you have interpreted events in your life in a way that lead you to conclude it does.

I first came across Anna on her van life page. She is an extremely bright and educated woman. Wishing her the best in whatever she decides to do in the futurd. While I may not.agree with some of her points, she is never the less a joy too watch.

I LOVE your content!! I've been watching so many of your videos this week and just can't get enough of them. You have such a nice way of explaining things and talking. Keep it up! :) Btw: Did you ever consider a career in science? Like psychology? I study psychology in Germany and so much of what you're saying is what they teach us in class (like critical thinking etc.). You just seem like the embodiment of critical thinking (that's meant as a compliment - I aspire to think more critical).

I've been trying to manifest better finances for over a year and it seems at times, my finances got worse. I think that I even made some irresponsible decisions trying to follow those manifestation practices.

Idk man, I used mindset and intention coupled with taking action (aka the law of attraction) to climb out of poverty and build a successful life. Many of my loved ones are still in the same negative places they were when I started my journey 15 years ago, only difference between me and then is our mindsets.

Love watching your videos. They are so informative and pleasant to watch. Thanks for all the work you put into them! All the best.

Physics student here! It has to do with taking a measurement and that in turn affects the outcome we observe. There are a lot of theories out there but the most prominent and verifiable is the Copenhagen interpretation. Majority of research "findings" are false but still published because they're what people want to here.

This reminds me of the lyrics , "Who are we? Just a spec of dust within the galaxy" We are a tiny part of this huge entity we call the Universe. The Science as we know it today may prove to be completely bogus tomorrow. The portion of population that were right with their belives today may turn out to be wrong in the coming time. So to completely slash out a theory would be too arrogant on our part as humans.

100%. I respect today’s science, but people seem to get extremely wrapped up in it. Less than 100 years ago people believed tons of things to be fact in the name of science, and in today’s times we think of those facts to be ridiculous. Life and discoveries are ever changing. Also, people are quick to dismiss the LOA as ‘just placebo’ as if giving credit to our mind and selves removes the amazingness of it.

right! btw try the water experiment yourself or the plant experiment the plant one i have heard about before. where people took 2 different plants, and one they spoke words like hate and criticism and death and the other they spoke love beauty and appreciation. strangely one came out healthy and the other decays? many people tried these. i dont relate it to law of attraction, . but saying if you find time. try the plant one. it does seem that our spoken word has power in some way. maybe the energy we give off when speaking?

I don’t think she understands it. Law of attraction isn’t about not taking action, it’s about programming your mind to take that action. Just like you subconsciously program your mind to think about whatever substance you’re addicted to. There’s plenty of facts that it takes up to as little as 66-200+ days to learn a habit, so what if people call it “manifest” when trying to manifest better habits>choices>results ? Imagine agreeing that mental health (MENTAL) health can translate physically, but your regular everyday thoughts can’t. It’s all the same. And no people don’t attract bad things by choice, no one does. We live on autopilot until we slow down and think about it.

The reason the law of attraction doesn't work on most people is because we hold core beliefs from psychological trauma, we hold subconscious beliefs and patterns such as "i am not good enough" that's why when we say affirmations it does not emotionally feel good it's because we must start with an affirmation we can believe like "i am creative" or something good that we do believe and slowly work our way to believe that " i am good enough"

You are an absolutely amazing, intelligent young person... an old soul. (Hmmm...something else to investigate?) Positive thinking is a more pleasant way to live. I am not sure if I am "manifesting" anything, but I do feel more relaxed and happy than when I am in a negative thinking mode.
