Here's something I've been thinking about...goes into the spiritual/religious parameters as well.

In the Bible, Job is the epitome of a just and perfect man with many problems. At the beginning of his record it appears that he did not understand the implications of the Law of the Harvest or the Law of Attraction.

(As a young person in Sunday school, it used to bother me a great deal when the teacher related to us the story of Job and his excruciating suffering and pain. The ecplanation was always that we must be patient in our afflictions and sufferings, just like Job!)

The rationalization was always that the devil wanted to test Job and that God gave him the privilege of literally wrecking this poor man's life and everything he had built up. I could never accept that kind of a God, one who would compromise or "make a deal" with the devil. My experience has confimed to me that his a God of love, a God of kindness, a God of patience...and he placed me on the earth that I might have JOY!

I could not conceive of his deliberately permitting this type of suffering to happen to a perfect person.

After reading the bibical account many times, it finally occurred to me that Job tells the real cause of all his disasters in the 3rd chapter, verse 25: "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me"

In other words, Job acknowledged that he was afraid, that he was a worrier. What would he do if he lost his health? What would he do if he lost his wealth? What would he do if he lost his possessions? What would he do if he lost his business?

Such thoughts, apparently preyed on him continually.

The Law of attraction is that the things which we think and the things which we harbor generate our feelings, and these feelings result in our acts which produce the harvest.

For "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Gal 6:7
For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he .... Proverbs 23:7

This LOA stuff isn't new....it's been around since the beginning of time. And my personal belief is that The Law of Attraction is the power by which God creates everything. It's just in such a high form we can hardly comprehend it. LOA = Faith in motion.
