This does not hold up in real life, and you know it.
To throw out an anecdote or two about how somebody feared being hurt by a stranger and thus got killed by a stranger, discounts the myriad of phobias and fears that people live with all the time, day after day, and their fears do not happen.
Almost all the time, their fears do not happen. And it does not matter one bit how intense their phobia/fear is or how much they obsess about it.
There's also a strong component that it's
less likely for a person to attract what they fear, because they take precautions against the situations where they have the power to do so. It's the people who have no fear of getting killed in a car accident who are more likely to not wear seat belts, to drive too fast in bad conditions, to drink and drive.
I would bet it's safe to say that nearly all families who have a toddler who gets leukemia, never imagined their child would get leukemia, and certainly did not have an intense fear of it. When it happens, they are blindsided. What they typically say is, "I never thought something like this would happen to us."
We're never going to be able to explain how certain communities along the Gulf Coast collectively attracted Hurricane Katrina while other communities apparently were spared because collectively they were not a vibrational match for a hurricane.
Please.
This part of the so-called "Law" of attraction is either misinterpreted, or flat-out wrong. And thank God for that.
