What's worse is that it's not working, so people are dying needlessly because of this fantasy, unless of course you believe that we are actually winning and being fed lies by the liberal media. Actually, I think that particular spin is another attempt to manifest victory.
Unfortunately, other people have tried the same thing before. Anybody ever see 'Triumph of the Will?'. To me, that sounds a lot like an attempt at manifestation. Those people were convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that they had a god-given right to take over the world. Of course they failed miserably, and you can't even mention their name in polite company anymore. Heck, water crystals freak out at the mere mention of the name of their leader.
It could be that I don't have enough of an understanding of the LOA to see why it can't be used to manifest the egregious examples that I mentioned above. Then again, this could just show that there is a 'dark side' to the LOA as well. |
I'm no expert, however I've done quite a bit of research.
I think people are focusing too strongly on the literal content of the words and not enough on the feeling and belief that is inherent to those. If you think gun you think negative and you send negative. This can be different for different people, but if people think "take over the world" they don't think of it as an open arms loving kind of thing.
To win a war takes a lot of death and destruction. The loving and pure energy that is what things are created out of will act in vain and work hard against the manifestation of this because it's not adding to the positive growth of the world or the actual energy itself.
