The thing about the law of attraction is that it's always in effect, whether you're consciously using it for your benefit or not. Once I started paying attention, I started to realize that I was responsible for all sorts of things appearing in my life. Now all I have to do is start utilizing it to attract better things into my life, rather than things that maintain my status quo. It's kind of a scary thing to think about -- that you really have that much power over all those little "coincidences" that you normally take for granted!
The talk about "greatest good" conditional statements reminded me of a Reiki story I recently read. A woman was worried about her husband, who was super stressed over his business. So without telling him, she sent him Reiki with the intention that he didn't stress so much. For two weeks, he tried to work but didn't really have much motivation -- he just wanted to go fishing. She realized it was her intention at fault. He needed some stress to motivate him to keep working. She retracted her intention and apologized, and he went into hyperdrive, getting more work done than he had in a month. Perhaps if she had let the Reiki flow without her intention over it, letting it reach him for his highest good, he would have found a better way to cope with the stress or reduce the reason for his stress -- curing the disease, per se, instead of simply treating the symptom.
I don't know if that makes much sense -- but it's another example of how even a good intention can have negative results.
