Ok, I gave it a go. I tried to leverage the “power of intention” / “law of attraction” thing for the past month as part of my Steveslab feature. I don’t like theorecticl stuff but I do enjoy testing and I just had to know if the latest cash cow doing the self improvement circuit was of any real use, or it it was a way to fill up space and sell products.
My conclusion - the law of attraction, as stated by many, is nothing more than a pile of rubbish. In my previous entry I mentioned a study done at PEAR, and the pioneering research into human intention and how it can effect entropy. However, I don’t feel that this scales up, at least in the way the law of attraction predicts.
In brief, the law of attraction states that whatever you focus on will come your way. I beleive that. What I don’t believe in, and why I did this experiment, is the notion that there is some sort of cosmic force that will then work to deliver on things that the most committed focus on. The whole thing is too vague and ill defined to win me over anyway. From a more objective point of view, I just don’t believe that this new definition of the law of attraction is correct.
What I do beleive is that the law of attraction is a very real, very effective force that can change your life. Its nothing paranormal though, its just that the concentration that you invested results in you spotting opportunities that would normally slip you by. For me, it is as simple as that.

I agreed with you. What The Secrets did not tell is the Amount of work they did to get “The Secrets’ out. And that, my friend, is THE SECRETS. ACTION!
