Trust me, there is no resistance. I would love to have prosperity in my life and I deserve it as much as the next guy. It just isn't coming. I would do a rain dance right now if I thought it would change anything.
If it's working well for you, then I'm glad to hear that. Maybe it is just dependent on the individual. Makes sense: not everyone can be a master pianist, for example. Why assume that everyone can use LOA? |
I agree that intention-manifestation and The Secret are all hogwash with earflaps. (I have a very foul mouth and I'm working on it.) They are based on an ignorance of how the world works. In physics negatives attract positives and vice versa. The yin-yang symbol is much more indicative of the real world than the medieval sympathetic magic of "if I think about it, it will drop in my lap."
There is an objective reality out there that has nothing to do with us. It is our duty to use our brains to comprehend that reality and learn how it works. It will completely ignore any amount of wishful thinking we engage in.
And I don't see Steve ignoring objective reality in his essays, though I haven't read his intention-manifestation material yet. You have decide what you want in life and make goals and action plans. But then you have to get up off the couch and work for what you want. THAT will cause things to manifest, not just wishing for it or "asking the universe" for it. The universe isn't standing around waiting to take your order. If anybody tells you it is, take a deep breath. That scent is the smell of snake oil.
