Let’s get real here. What do you think of when you read the phrases “the Law of Attraction” or “you create your own reality”? Did you roll your eyes, even a little bit? Did you think, “I’ve tried that, it just doesn’t work”, like I did not long ago? Do you see it as part of an ancient philosophy about the inner workings of the universe, or a trend that sells lots of books and DVDs? Maybe you wish the Law of Attraction could help you with your problems, but The Secret sounds too good to be true.
The concept has been over-simplified to the point of nonsense. Even to the point of cruelty – some people believe that those who espouse the Law of Attraction have a “blame the victim” mentality and don’t care about the suffering of others. Some treat it as another get-rich-quick scheme. Some scoff at the gullible folks who still believe in the power of positive thinking.
