I myself am fairly skeptical. I certainly believe you can attract good people in your life by giving and being positive, which is something I've always tried to do.....even after being positive, giving to others and always trying my best, I am personally always meet with huge setbacks and I don't know why. I have always been good about ejecting negative things from my life but more always seem to creep in.
Hi Fuzzmaster. One aspect of the Law of Attraction that isn't discussed very much is exactly what you're describing. What does it mean when the LOA doesn't appear to work? My perspective on this is that the LOA is based on Energy, or Vibration. Vibrations are created by our conscious thoughts and feelings, but also by our subconscious beliefs and fears based on a lifetime of past experiences. I counsel people that when you are not experiencing the results you desire when applying conscious changes to your thoughts and feelings, it's now time to address the subconscious thoughts and feelings. Of course this can be done on your own but it takes the willingness to dive into the deeper, and darker, side of your Self. What scares you? What makes you feel helpless, weak or vulnerable? It is these aspects of your Self that need nurturing and caring so that they may come out of the darkness and let go of the fear, shame, guilt or whatever is holding you back. This in turn changes the unconscious vibrations and brings forth the efforts towards your desires.
Sounds like you still have a little "doubt." Step 3 after Identifying your desire and Give Your Desire Attention, is Allow it. "Allowing is simply the absence of negative vibration and doubt is a negative vibration. Allowing is the most important step in the Deliberate Attraction process." The doubt removing process is called "Allowing." This negative vibration dilutes and cancels the positive vibes. Allowing occurs in the absence of doubt. Hope that helps. I just finished the book yesterday, so I'm still learning it myself, but it has some good tips that I will test out.
