Let's say the Law of Attraction is true.
That would mean all the starving people of the world ,all of the massacred and genocided people of the world,all of the people who lost their entire life savings(and more) in the financial scams of the world such as Enron and the Madoff scam ,ALL had it coming.
I don't buy it.

The "Law of Attraction" falls under other Luciferian metaphysical Laws (for an ersatz world) along with the Law of Karma.

If you don't believe in past lives then any kind of karma or universal law may not make sense. If you do believe we had past life streams, then some of the things that happen to us do not necessarily come from the life stream you are in now. If we, in fact, come into this life with some lessons or experiences to learn to make us understand any given emotion, then universal law does come into play for something in this life stream or another.
.
By the way, I did not like "the secret " book either. It's necesary to have goals if you really want something, but its more complicated than the book.

The supposed Law of Attraction results are focused on measurable material manifestations within a lifetime .
If you beleve in Karma....Karma is intangible,immeasurable and variable in it's manifestations. There isn't a way of predicting how or when it will operate.The effect may immediately follow the cause or there might be a delay of decades or centuries. How can you ascertain that a given instance of pain,suffering,sorrow or lack is karma for any specified act ? I don't think you can.
The Law of Attraction is supposedly based on electromagnetism.If I recall correctly, in electromangnetism ,opposite charges attract, like charges repel.

It should be noted that the "star" of The Secret movie also has a book on hypnotic writing . In the title "How to Seduce and Persuade Customers." Something to fall back on in case the Law of Attraction isn't working for you I suppose.
Sheesh!

Karen's book is about the universal laws. I suggest everyone to read it and I think you'll agree with her. Skeptics like to blow things off because it's easier than trying to find out if something is true or not. That's why this world is full of skeptics, it's easier to be that way.
