Is The Secret or the Law of Attraction really the truth?

All of this translates to a personal and individual level. People who are unlucky in love - and I have been one of these, and I know that I am guilty of making this mistake - often say things to themselves and others, like "nobody ever wants to go out with me." Then, of course that is the result they get - no one wants to go out with them. Or "I am feel like I've been left on the shelf," only to find this applies to them in the future.

Or, "my girlfriends/boyfriends always end up dumping me or cheating on me." Coming right up in your next relationship - someone who will cheat on you or dump you.

However, the slightest doubt or counter-intention can destroy the success of a particular wish to the corresponding degree. I recall when I was in Scientology, I was learning about what L Ron Hubbard called "postulates" and "counter postulates." Of course this extends further to the minds and the will of other people. By this I mean if you visualise and desire to achieve something but then share what you are trying to get with other people who don't want you to achieve this, or simply don't believe it is possible, then their counter intentions override your own.

How all this works also is how mind-over-matter works or fails and how telepathy and mind-reading does likewise. This is why for someone like Uri Geller, whilst he knows he can sometimes achieve incredible results and his fans know this, the problem he can encounter is that a large majority of people do not believe in him or believe that such results are possible. Their lack of belief counters his magical command.

Again, in my past studies of Scientology I came across a bit where Hubbard was talking about how a "thetan" (Scientology word for spirit) can cause machines to work or fail, and I thought, yes, that is exactly what I have seen. I wrote a "success story" about this realisation.

I realised today that I have been caught by a pattern here of all the others who put things off until tomorrow, or "mañana", as it is said in Spanish. It is so common on this island that I wrote a song about it in protest, but what are the results I am getting now in several of my dealings with other people here? Yes, what I want I am having to wait for. The results I want have been moved to another day and I have been unintentionally probably making it worse by practising my song and thinking about it.

The reason it is so prevalent on the island could well be that it is accepted and being thought about by many other people that stuff never happens now but mañana. This is what I mean about how this Law of Attraction stuff works on a personal level and collectively.

I think I need to write another song saying what I want and that I want it now!

The amount of negative and scary emotional material out there in the way of news stories, literature, song lyrics, films and TV and other forms of art and media is staggering. This is what we are exposed to daily and what we are brought up with and then we may wonder why the world is full of killings, war, death, destruction, sadness and insanity. I would suggest it is because we are collectively making it that way. We are being programmed into accepting this as normality when it is anything but!

One of the reasons I loved working with the small children recently so much was that for a few hours a day I was in the company of happy younger people, whose minds were not filled with sadness, fear and worry. It was a wonderful experience being in their presence.

This is how it should be. This world is meant to be a paradise full of happy people but it cannot be until enough of us stop asking the universe to supply us with the stuff of nightmares and stop responding to the controllers of the world who feed us this miserable diet. As of today I am making some changes to my life.
