How about now? I'll bet none of these people thought ahead of things like this. |
I have a lot of problems with things like this, too. Mostly because of small children having horrible things happen to them. I cannot buy any of the mental or spiritual gymnastics that I have heard people go through to explain this, either. They always seem to work backwards from a set premise to get to an explanation that works for them. Its like they start at "We are all responsible for everything that happens to us." and work backward from there to explain why small children have icky things happen to them. They have to come up with past lives or they have to channel some 5000 year old dude who tells them that we all plan out our whole lives before we are born. Yeah, right.
It seems pretty obvious to me that there is an intersection between subjective and objective reality. I also think that there is something to positive and negative energy. I think that if the majority of six billion people are producing random or negative energy, that would promote some pretty icky junk happening in the world. It seems to make sense to me that if there is someone who is manifesting some very bad negative energy and their path intersects with that of a child, the child is going to be in trouble. I don't think the child so much attracted the bad event as they didn't deflect the bad event. I don't think the tsunami victims themselves attracted that natural disaster. I think that maybe the people that survived may have attracted their survival. I have read that there is a unifying stream of positive energy out there that we either allow or we don't. If we allow it, then we can attract good things into our lives. If we don't allow it, we are at the mercy of the random events, both good and bad. So, perhaps 'bad' things are just the absence of 'good' energy? If you work to align yourself with 'good' (positive) energy, you put yourself into the position of allowing good things into your life.
I have not swallowed everything I have read about the LOA whole. I have never done that with anything in my life and can't seem to start now. I am not sure how much sense my rendition of the things I have read makes outside of my head. But in here, it seems to work pretty well.
