LOA came from Abraham-Hicks...better known among Seth readers as Abrascam, because it is a huge marketing scam and a pathetic ripoff of the Seth material.
Actually the LOA Is much much older, goes to the times of before the bible, It has roots all the way back to Plato and beyond. Plato said "“likes tend towards likes.” Which we know as "like attracts like".
Mark 11:24, Jesus says “Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.”
In Mathew 7:7-9 he says (7) “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. (
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. (9) Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?…”
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.” - Buddha
The New Thought Movement began in the 1800's, That is about when the term "law of attraction" was first used. Books like "A man thinkith" were written in 1902, By James Allen. "Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World" was published in 1906 by William Walker Atkinson. There are many others. Neville Goddard wrote books from 1940s on ward and his teaching are popularized now. Also during that time "The Seven Hermetic Principles" were published which also includes LOA and is based on Hermes Trismegistus, which pre dates Jesus.
These aren't new concepts, LOA works. The problem is many people who try to use them think they are doing what they are supposed to but aren't. I use LOA all the time, it has always worked for me. I taught others how to use it, they have transformed their lives, I know people I have met along life's path that have used it and have be also extremely successful. The biggest problem is that people think or want to believe they have raised their vibration and let it go, but haven't.
"Research into quantum mechanics has shown that the act of observing reality creates it. Attempting to observe something causes it to appear out of the nothing. By the same token, if you are not aware of something…it does not exist in your subjective reality. In addition, the so-called placebo effect has indicated that positive or negative attitudes can produce corresponding results. Furthermore, the work of Dossey and others, have shown that prayer has an effect whether the recipient is aware of it or not.
LOA has also gained support of it's effects in the medical community, "these findings offer promise of positive thinking as an approach for psychological interventions designed to promote life satisfaction" Positive-Thinking and Life Satisfaction amongst Koreans - Ji Young Jung, Yonsei Medical Journal and also published on NCBI. Scientists working at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at the Institute of Neurology in London have discovered that people who visualize a better future are more likely to be able to bring that future into existence. Affirmations are support by the psychology community, then there is the whole topic on Mirror Neurons and how they work, down to genetics, people can be predisposed to negative thinking based on their genetics, but that doesn't mean they can't over come them.
I can write so much more on this topic. but no, this isn't a marketing scam, it boils down to raising your vibration and letting go once you set out what you want, and letting go can be the hardest part. Because many fear if they let go they will lose it. Whether you realize it or not, you use LOA on a daily basis, you create your reality, and things in your life. It took me a while to figure it all out to work the way i wanted it to for me.
