Your is a highly skeptical viewpoint.. any reason why skeptics and LOA never seem to work together

Yah, and it absolutely works that way.. yee of little faith.. have you actually tried it.. without doses of skepticism?

Imagine if you could just do that without throwing in the idea negatively.. "but reality works this way.. it's so full of crap"??

The reason why there are LOA seminars, dozens of books, billions of audio recordings and billions more pieces of information is cause we are all INDIVIDUALS.. and most of have spent our time invalidating things here.. we invalidate each other as liars.. we invalidate each others as fools.. we invalidate each other as bad drivers.. it don't matter we invalidate, we invalidate, we invalidate.. I've just described the common human condition.. no??

So here's the idea it's real simple.. we invalidate so much that we also invalidate certain methods of "the secret" information which is "law of attraction" and how it all works.. so the idea is when you "invalidate" a "law of attraction" method you can use this one by "Kryon" "Abraham" or "ALG!"

So here's some simple ideas for you that may stop your invalidation..
- Use the method/author/book/idea that you resonate with
- Try and stop invalidating it doesn't help you..

I’ve been using the manifesting technique before the secret movie came out, I’m sure people will disagree with me, but for me it doesn’t work the way they describe it in the movie, there is a missing component. First of all, if you are trying to manifest something that goes against your core belief, you can do all the affirmations, desiring, visualizations, vision boards and believing you already have it, if your core belief is stronger than your desire than it will not happen. Most of the time it is and you don’t know it, because you had your core belief since you were a child and your desire was more recent. Most of your beliefs are subconscious, you don’t even realize you have them, one common belief that people might relate is “life is a struggle”. Maybe you saw your parents struggle to make money and that’s what you subconsciously believe.

I very much like how you turned your statement from negative/lack based too.. neutral/positive based..

Maybe it was designed to just get people flared up.. ehh?

Let me add some information to how it works according to my teachers
- Beliefs are downloaded telepathically for most of us between the age of 3-5 (this is pre-1987 I do believe) this doesn't count the beliefs you add as you go on
- Beliefs can be changed in the snap of a finger but for some of us it's not so easy to get them rooted out.. also there can be core foundational beliefs and it is possible to create a belief that says "my beliefs cannot be changed"

I realize that your post probably wasn't written to be challenging 123 but since I wrote up these answers in response to that and there good I'm just going to leave them
