And Then Some News

“‘The Secret’ reveals the most powerful law in the universe. The knowledge of this law has run like a golden thread through the lives and the teachings of all the prophets, seers, sages and saviors in the world's history, and through the lives of all truly great men and women. All that they have ever accomplished or attained has been done in full accordance with this most powerful law.’” This is a quote from the home page of “The Secret,” and if you believe it, then you need to read this Thursday’s essay entitled, “Reasons why the Law of Attraction (LOA) is a myth.” There is no doubt that “knowledge of this law has run...through the lives and the teachings of all prophets, seers, sages and saviors,” but that neither makes it true nor right. Read the essay; decide for yourself.

Share your And Then Some Story about the myths of our society and world. Have you ever been “sucked in” by old wives tales, superstitions, and urban legends? Has your belief in any of these caused you to behave (or not behave) in some specific fashion? How were you affected? What caused you to realize the falsity of the belief, and when did it happen? In what ways can we move more quickly (as a society) to put an end to such bunk before it has a chance to take hold and have impact?

Reasons why the Law of Attraction (LOA) is a myth
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
Although the definition of the LOA (Law of Attraction) varies greatly, what I am talking about here is the LOA as a theory that “like attracts like” and as applied to the mental life of human beings, suggests that individuals experience in their lives actions and events that correspond to their thoughts, feelings, and words. What this reveals is that believing in the LOA means those individuals have the ability to control the reality of their lives through thought alone.
