Default STOP LOSS for the Law of Attraction?

If you don't know what a STOP LOSS is, it's a term used in the stock market to mean if a stock that you own goes down below a certain price it is to be sold immediately to prevent major loss in the investment. So if you buy a share for $15, and you set the STOP LOSS to $13. When the share price reaches $12.99 it is automatically sold. Turns out that the stock went to $10 per share so you only lost $2. Now on to the purpose of this thread.

I was feeling low so I started writing my thoughts. I got done a few minutes ago. I started to think that there has to be a limit to the LoA, or a loophole or something.

Lets say you want to be doing, having, and being everything you dream of for the rest of your life. But right now you are having nothing, doing nothing, and not being who you want to be. That creates deep sadness, depression, whatever. You have those strong feelings, and you keep saying "Why isn't it changing? Why is nothing working out in my life?" As per the Law of Attraction you should be getting more of the things you are asking and feeling, correct?

Well here comes the problem... So does that mean that you would keep going down in a negative spiral until death? There has to be a LIMIT (STOP LOSS) to it! Either by someone helping you out, or by divine intervention (God throwing a brick at you), but not by themselves consciously. There may be a few people who can realize it themselves, but those are probably few. There's gotta be something that stops it, or there has to be a limit to the negative spiral.

My reason for this is that the stuff in my life I want is taking f%*&ing for ever! I don't see any signs to it, even though I've been taking action for the past 2 years to achieve those things. That pushes me down, and it's hard to have faith that it's coming.

Imagine if you didn't believe in LoA at all. You only believed in it from the point of view of it being a neat way to think positively, nothing else.

So lets say you're trying to "realistically" achieve the outcome you seek. How would you actions differ from what you're doing right now?

I'd suggest you first start practising your use of LOA with smaller intentions. You know, things like:

- what you'd like to do next week
- what you'd like to have next month
- what you'd like to be next year.

As you get better with LOA, you can play bigger with LOA.

What were you expecting - to manifest world peace tomorrow?

Sunj,
Have you read the science of getting rich yet (it's free)...? There may be some flaws in your thinking (based on your post).

Well here's an example of the L.O.A. getting the opposite result impaul99 who wrote the passion project has become an advocate of L.O.A. and since then I wont visit his site as it's lost credibility for me. This secret movie is just totally overated if you want to earn some money set yourself free from the movie. Here is a video with info given by a world economist about how to make money in the real world.

Yes, I suppose it WOULD be very depressing, if your life were such a big fat zero.

And I don't think your depression would be due to LOA. Your depression would be due to the fact that your life was such a big fat zero.

It sounds like you still have to Accept where you are and allow it to be without resistance to it. And this is tough to do. I suggest reading The Power of Now.

Creating with the LoA requires a certain amount of emotional control, and that requires recognition of the fact that you can be in conscious control of your emotions.

It also involves recognition of the fact that you are responsible for everything you have created up until now. And a huge focus on feeling good. Feel good first. That's a huge part of life, anyway, right? Forget about creating for now, just focus on feeling good.

I recommend the process of "Segment Intending" as described in The Law of Attraction by Abraham-Hicks. Basically, you identify the different 'segments' of your day, and hold intentions for each of these segments... just take a moment before you transition into it to identify your intentions.

For example, "I intend to have a safe and pleasant commute to work"... "I intend to have good interactions with my co-workers and customers"... etc.

I've been having really good results with this. With such small segments, it's easier to see immediate results. You can see I-M at work in real time, and it's a good way to develop confidence in your abilities to manifest positive change... not to mention the effect it will have on your day-to-day life!

Hey Robert, I have always believe that positive thoughts attract positive experiences in my life. Since around 2002/2003 when I read "The Science of Getting Rich" I have been officially experimenting with the law of attraction and getting results. Long before "The Secret" came out I've believed in this way of thinking. In fact, even when I was reading The Science of Getting RIch, it wasn't really like I was learning something new, but rather re-learning something I had already believed in.

One thing I would like to point out though is that LOA is not getting the opposite result as you pointed out. When I started my site, I clearly defined my intended audience and part of the "perfect customer profile" was that my audience were believers or at least open to the possibility of LoA. Therefore, by you not visiting my site anymore, the LoA is actually working. Do you know what I mean?

If at some point in your life you became a LoA believer, you'd probably be attracted to my site again. Until then, you will be repelled, which is exactly how it works.

At one point, I actually considered keeping my site "conservative" and not really talking about LOA on there and stuff, but then I realized that LoA is so much a part of my life, I can't write or express myself properly without sharing all of my beliefs with people. I do realize that it will polarize some of my audience and some people (like you) will get turned off, but there's nothing I can do about that. I have to remain honest with myself and my audience and that means sharing all of ME.

Liked Kylarks response.

Perhaps science will help you.

YouTube - Dr Quantum - Double Slit Experiment

that cartoon is five minutes of proof that matter is only thought.

Ask einstein.

80% of Quantum physicists believe that nothing is in existence unless it is observed. your bedroom vanishes when you leave, etc.

Weird huh? Those weirdos..... lol

However it will allow you to accept that all of your thoughts are already reality, and that will aid your expectation level. The universe wants to manifest your quests into actuality.

actuality is our group concept of reality. You need to believe in your visualizations and science was my first step to believing.

search my other posts if you want more in depth.

good-luck
