Many of the LOA (Law of Attraction) people teach that based on our emotions thoughts and how negative or positive we are then that will pair us up with the reality we find ourselves in. We attract a positive or negative reality depending on our emotions and attitude. Well I know LOA and The Secret is not that popular to more traditional Christian groups so you guys have reassured me a little bit more. LOA and The Secret are not fundamentalist they are more what we would call New Age Philosophy. They believe in a Deity just one that allows us to shape reality due to our beliefs, focus, thoughts etc. To make a long story short it ruined my life and now no matter how often I repent I am convinced I'm going to hell. I even received these strange omens indicating that I was going to hell when I die. Accepting Jesus is easy and doable but I dont know if I can still fend off the weird stuff.
I spent since early 2017 to about now so that is 18 months being blasphemous, angry, and self-pitying. Uttering things I cant repeat on this forum. I thought I triggered a negative response from the Universe in some way and the more I read about LOA and Secret the more regretful, trapped, and depressed I became. One major reason is because LOA seldom offers solutions to those who think their way into bad situations they just tell you to avoid that fate, they also blame anyone who finds themselves in a bad situation as attracting that due to their negative energy. According to the books and teachings of LOA and Secret those who misuse can attract negative consequences whether they want it or not . I believe what they are teaching because I have seen unexplained signs, coincidences, omens appearing due to my negative thoughts. And I feel defeated, out-of-breath, and just so sad. I don't think prayers help because I am just 100% convinced that the Universe is governed and operates on this philosophy.
But the MAIN REASON I'm filled with regret is because these LOA and Secret people basically tell you that if you properly used the Law of Attraction then it guarantees you any desire no matter how peculiar it is it can still be be fulfilled. You just have to have positive enough energy to be a vibrational match for that reality. It makes me filled with woeful regret that my energy is to irreversibly negative and now I cant get what I would like. They practically make the Universe into this Genie instead of a governing force of good and order. So to make a long story short I thought that the difference between me having a great everlasting life and a one way ticket to hell was through this Law where you attract negative or positive things into your life depending on how you are. I actually curiously wonder if God and Jesus govern the Universe based on this philosophy.
FYI the only reason I believe in the Law is because of appirations, omens, coincidences that I had in the past convincing me without reasonable doubt that its true. But its not reassuring because the people who advertise the law like I said before don't offer solutions to people who are up schitts creek without a paddle. This puts me in a difficult situation where I would view God in two ways the merciful father who forgives even the worst trespasses as long as you can repent and forgive the way he does. Or the God of The Law of Attraction who simply governs the universe based on a law where people attract their own positive or negative reality depending on their own thoughts, attitudes and mindset. I hope God is not a God of LOA.
