I've seen it written several times that if you're in debt, whether you constantly think about getting yourself out of debt or whether you constantly think about why you're staying in debt, etc. the keyword is "debt" and the LoA will attract more of debt to you. So instead you should think about how great financial freedom would feel and what kind of life you would lead if you were financially free.

But I've also heard that our thoughts and feelings and beliefs and desires and actions are exactly what the LoA manifests for us. That is at the heart of the LoA. So why wouldn't thinking about being out of debt be benificial? I know the keyword is "debt" but if I'm thinking about "rising above debt" instead of "remaining in debt" why wouldn't that belief and that thought manifest itself? Why must I avoid the notion of debt completely? It seems a little contradictory to me.

I considered this answer: If we focus on "relieving debt" we're bound to slip into thinking about the negative aspect of debt at some point. So instead we should think about a prosperous life because it's much more difficult to slip into thinking about debt if the whole notion of debt (whether we think about "rising above it" or its negative aspects) is completely removed.

If that's the case there's no contradiction but then it seems like we're only focusing on a prosperous life to avoid slipping into thinking about debt--and to me that's seem like taking the easy way out. Instead we should focus on relieving debt and consciously avoid thinking about debt's, say, negative aspects. It would seem to me that if we were able to do that, then our intentions would be all the more powerful. So either that's what we need to do or there's some other answer to relieve the apparent contradiction.

What do you guys think?
