Default Dominant Realities

There has been the question a couple times about if the Jews intended the Holocaust or if African children intend to starve and so on. I think common sense tells us no, of course not. So does that mean that Intention/Manifestation is a joke?

I'm sure the Jews did not intend to go to concentration camps. The Nazis, however, certainly did. Their intention was quite clear and it manifested without a hitch. The intention of the Nazis dominated the Jews reality along with anyone else who didn't fit the Aryan mold.

I think that this applies on a personal level as well. Most of us, I believe, are living in someone else's reality. The certainty of one person's beliefs overpowers another. There are certain things that are impossible because we all believe they are impossible. The few people that might believe to the contrary are drowned out.

If aliens came down and visited me tonight and I took some pictures, recorded their voices, toured the spaceship, wrote a non-fiction book, most people would still believe it is a hoax. That would certainly hinder alien/human relations, huh?

Focusing your thoughts & energy into not wanting a specific thing to happen still makes it happen via LOA. LOA doesn't distinguish between good & bad. Jewish people certainly didn't want to exterminated during the holocaust, I'm sure that was a dominant thought in their minds at the time, LOA dictates that dominant thoughts with focus & energy bring about the very thing in reality. If you think about it that way, LOA worked too well.

As far as african children starving, it's hard to get that thought out of your head when you are starving. It's hard to believe you're full and can't eat another bite of food when you are constantly thinking about your hunger pain - LOA working again.

LOA does work, I think it works too well, especially with negative thinking, and with most people (ok, maybe that's a generalization), negative thinking just seems to be easier to do, LOA accomodates that type of thinking just as well as positive thinking.

"The so-called law of attraction is the kind of law that many people will find attractive. It provides them with the illusion of having control over their lives. All I need to do is change my attitude and intentions and I'll attract money like a magnet (or lose weight or whatever else it is I want to achieve). If it doesn't work, it's my fault because I didn't genuinely change my attitude and intentions. Sound familiar? What is it that the faith healers say about those who don't get healed? You didn't have enough faith!"

"But a moment's reflection should reveal that this "law" is false; it's not even truthy."

From:
law of attraction

Please, just take a moment.
