My husband pointed out to me that actually, the loan is still a form of abundance. The universe is still providing for me, it's just that it's in a different form than actual money.
My god. This scares me. How many people actually have this thought process? A loan is not abundance. A loan is debt. It can help you. It can be beneficial. It is still debt.

The thing I hate about LOA and similar ideas is it's like this:

Person A-"You can have anything you want by wanting it and being positive."

Person B-"How do I start?"

Person A-"You must rid negative thoughts completely out of your head."

Person B-"What if I'm poor?"

Person A-"You must believe you are not poor."

Person B-"What if I stay poor?"

Person A-"You must believe you are getting richer"

Person B-"What if LOA fails?"

Person A-"It won't. You must believe that it won't fail."

So basically, for LOA to work, you have to convince yourself that it works and that is working regardless of your circumstances.

You keep getting poorer and the LOA keeps working for you (in your mind), because you've agreed to believe in it 100%. I don't want to hate on people's system, especially if it's working for them, but how do I know if it's working for them if they're going to convince themselves of their success one way or another? It seems like this line of reasoning is destructive as people will stop providing value (that in turn gets them real value) and instead wait on the universe to provide them their welfare check. Am I completely missing the point?
