The Law of Attraction is a theory that like attracts like. Depending on what thought or emotion you project out into the universe you get the same thing back from the Universe. Its like reaping what you sow but what is different is that instead of action we create our fate through our style of thinking. Well I am a firm believer in Law of Attraction and it drives me insane to the point that sometimes I wish I was dead.

I hate hate hate this theory and I wish it wasnt true. But I believe in the Law of Attraction cause I had a really bad experience with it. I am now convinced that because I misused and abused the Law of Attraction that God/Universe whatever he may be is telling me that I have sealed my fate. We can manifest positive things through our thoughts but we can also manifest very negative and regrettable things.

Well let me tell you a story. I had an obsessive hatred for some person prefer not to disclose who it is. But once I began blaspheming her I started to attract signs, symbols, and omens focused on this person. I was stubborn and prideful so I continued to persist on attacking her eventually it led to the biggest consequence of all my possible separation from God. And no matter how much I beg or plead with God he seems to have this your reaping what you sow kind of attitude. That is how the Universe seems to work its this neutral impartial thing that gives you back what you put into it. That can be really scary especially from my regrettable experiences.

Thanks to my stubborn need to continue to have blasphemous thoughts I have caused irreversable trouble in this world and the spiritual realm that I cannot fix. And I am in a deadly irreversable position. I am in a hell of my own creation, and am certain that everyone in Heaven is telling me that I did it to myself.

I wish the Law of Attraction was fake because my thoughts maybe vile but I dont want them to define me as a person. I dont want my thoughts to shape this world or the spiritual world. Why would God give us that much power and responsibility when he knows how badly we'd handle it? That is why I hate these mystics that say we have the power to shape the world through our thoughts. Well by their definition that must make me a terrible person because while I commit no negative actions, I certainly think up a boatload of regretable thoughts.

The Law of Attraction has ruined my life, and my enternity with God. They say through the Law of Attraction you attract from the Universe what you put out into it. Well thanks to my negative thoughts it has come to a point where I am receiving signs that I am going to hell. The theory says you attract things in this world based on how you think. Well I thought so negatively for so long that now I am attracting something deadly that could send me to a terrible place when I die. I really think The Law of Attraction works, at least from my experience it seems to anyway. And I believe my fate is irreversable. I wish God didn't use a Universal Law like that, one that mystics and celebrities promote excessively.

Anyway the Law of Attraction has ruined my life and everyone says that if you create your own hell then you have to live in it. Well I sometimes wish I could be given a chance to right the wrongs of my past. But I have this strange suspicion that God is up there saying "you did it to yourself your reaping what your sowing". I love God with all my heart but running the Universe through such a law scares the ever living crap out of me.

Thanks to this law and how it is worked against me in my life I doubt anyone can console me. I genuinely believe this is how things are going to be and it would take some type of miracle for me to be convinced otherwise. I can never be happy if there is some certainty on my end that I am predestined to hell because I attracted negative energy through my hateful thoughts. In my 26 years this is by far the most mentally painful feeling I have ever had.

"Reaping what you sow" is in the Bible. As I understand your concept of the Law of Attraction, it is not. You are holding yourself to a standard that even God doesn't hold you to. (That is usually a sign of pride.)
  1. Repent of your pride and hateful [slander?*] = murder [Matthew 5:21-22]
  2. Make amends with the people you have offended [Matthew 5:23-26]
  3. If that is harder than it should be, seek out deliverance.
*You used the term blasphemy, but that is only something that you can do toward God.

James, we do have a book that guides us as Christians. This law you are talking about here isn't from it either. Did you know the Apostle Paul persecuted and killed Christians, and look what God did with him. God still loves you and has a plan for your life. He wants a relationship with you.
There is a spiritual battle going on, but I think you are listening to the wrong side, son. The father of lies is trying to keep you from the light.
God does use situations and circumstances to shape us, to make us realize that we can't go through this life and be truly happy and at peace without Him. I was 35 before I figured it out.

This is the most interesting story I've ever read about The Law of Attraction. I never really looked at this way, but I guess the more obsessed we become with negativity, it will turn on us. If we see negative things in others, eventually it will feed into our own lives, too. But, know that God is always there for us, even when we do things that are not of Him. Keep praying, but know that ''reaping what we sow,'' is for our own good, and to help us grow. Not to hurt us. If we learn from it.

Well maybe the whole thoughts create reality theory promoted by mystics and self-help people is used to as a way for some of them to have a career of profiting off of others. Law of Attraction is regularly promoted by high-profile celebrities, and self-help gurus but I have been dealing with the negative side of this theory. I looked at a website of Near Death Experiences it seems that there is a term called Universalism which is a really old belief system from the first 500 years of Christianity. In the belief it says that all people will eventually be saved and that hell is strictly for purifying a broken mind and heart. I noticed that George Ritchie said something similar. I know the stricter Christians want to say you have no choice when you die, but I hope that God always has room for redemption regardless of the circumstance any child of God may find themselves in. But to be honest with you I am consumed by uncertainty, its how I live survive and cope. I believe in God but I'm very insecure about how saved I am at this point. Also people always tell me I have to be confident in Gods healing nature, but I'm confident in something else. I'm confident that I sinned so hard that not even the concept of Universalism can help me.

Its a very messed up story. I attracted such negativity from the Universe that I now receive frequent signs about going to hell. Sometimes I feel that my negative thoughts that I projected did damage in the spiritual realm. I am sorry I just sometimes wish that the Universe didn't work that way.

Well if you dwell in negative thoughts and focus on a certain thing it will trap your mind in it and be easy to focus on said thing.

However I don't believe in the law of attraction. If it was true we would be like God. If I thought hard enough about getting certain results that would be like bending reality to my will. I do however believe in consequences. Every action has a reaction. I also think the law of attraction is kind of occultic and Wiccan in a sense. Are you a Christian?

I wanted to talk to some of famous mystics like Abraham Hicks, Teal Swan or Jake Ducey just to find out more about what I may have dug myself into. But they are so hard to reach because they are celebrities and likely they would tell me that I manifested so many negative things that it is to late for me. I have to come clean Deidre I didn't actually know what The Law of Attraction was until it was to late. Like I did internet research at a time after the damage was already done. But I often wondered why would God give us such a power that makes or breaks our reality simply based on the thoughts we project. Some of the Law of Attraction Gurus would probably consider me a bad man because even though I never acted on thoughts, my nasty thoughts may have caused trouble in this realm or the next. I'm in disbelief, frustration and looking for a real solution at a time of hopelessness.

Yes I'm just a gullible Christian who believes in superstitions. I am convinced when I die I will appear in the fiery pits of hell and the devil will tell me the consequences of my own thoughts.

James, the bible is the Word of God. That is where we should get our information on living. We can't entertain the theories and wild musings of mystics or self help people, they are all just human's trying to explain things that they do not understand. There are even a few here that try to say the bible is not translated correctly in favor of universal salvation, which I believe is people trying to make God into who they think He should be.
How much of the bible have you read? I would suggest not contacting any mystics, there are several scriptures in the bible that warn us not to do such things, you are playing with fire there.

While we were still sinners, God sent His only Son to us
to cover all our sins. There is not anything logically
anything more that you can do to be saved.

God already made all the effort.
He doesn't watch your life to see if you measure up.

I am sorry to hear that. I will pray for you. Have you tried getting saved?

I actually believe that God operates by this law I wish he didn't but I'm 100% convinced he does. So because I went against the Law of Attraction through the type of thoughts I was having and putting out I ultimately think I'm predestined for hell. I often feel separated from God and hearing the (NDE Near Death Experience) accounts of what hell is like I have a really disturbing afterlife that I'm destined to experience. So life is very unenjoyable and empty knowing where I'm predestined to. So Any I doubt I am saved, in fact if you had a conversation with anyone in the afterworld they'd probably tell you that I screwed myself over. I often think that God's view on all of this is you got out of this universe what you put into it. So no matter how much consoling I get from users on here I'm still deadset convinced on my fate, destiny and have to accept it whether I want to or not.

"There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death." Proverbs 14:12 NKJV

[God talking]
For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,
” says the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
" Isaiah 55:8-9 NKJV

" Isaiah 55:8-9 NKJV

So if Isaiah is correct then that means that God is not at all alarmed or enraged by what I'm thinking or feeling. If Isaiah is right then our thoughts that we put out into the Universe should not at all hold much significance to God. According to the Law of Attraction its the opposite point of view, thoughts are everything so choose what you think wisely or suffer everlasting consequences. So the longer I believe in the Law of Attraction as God's law the longer I get worried. I really want my thoughts no matter how misguided not to attract disturbing irreversible things into my life. But again many self-help people say the Universe operates in such a way that you get out of it is what you put into it. I begin to believe the self-help people because every time I think something blasphemous about another I receive omens and bad signs. It easy to be superstitious when strange things start to occur in ones life.

Why would God give us that much power and responsibility when he knows how badly we'd handle it

Not only that but God gave us ability to make people and new souls that's awesome aswell .

That's why Jesus said if you hate somebody in your heart you alredy murder him in your heart .
Our toughts / feelings and WORDS most important , can cause good or bad stuff to happen .

You can make vow to God and it will happen , same as curse .

I wonder if people hate me or something and if I have been cursed by somebody myself sometimes .
