Law of Attraction Success story

[Laurend0603]

Hi all
dont do LOA constantly but it has worked a few times.
We have been trying for a baby for 4 months and this I wrote it in my notepad I will have a baby in Jan 2021 after finding out I am pregnant the end of April...yesterday the 30th April I got positive test! And they are getting stronger today. We only had sex twice this month just shows! I also made a mind movie on my phone of preg ladies and babies and watched it everyday for visulisation the universe has listened!!

@1555CC god you sound so negative it's unreal, if anything your belief of the universe doesn't care it doesn't know you exist will causes the most harm.

Most people over the age of about 12 realise this anyway. The universe existed for 10 billion years before our planet was born, and will exist for trillions of years after the sun has swallowed us up. We're just a spec on a tiny rock orbiting a medium sized pretty mundane star, one of trillions, in a remote outpost of a galaxy, one of billions.

The universe doesn't give any more of a fuck about you or me than an abandoned bicycle in Alaska does. You may as well ask the bicycle.

@YouokHun thank you, that is appreciated. I just detest this way of thinking. I think it comes from a place of entitled naivete. If I had believed in the LoA when I experienced my loss, it would have made it so much harder to come to terms with.
I work with victims of DV and SV. To believe in LoA you'd also have to place the blame on the victims of such crimes.

I also completely agree with the universe not caring about us mere mortals. What makes humans so special?

@YouokHun - I see what you are saying and I am not disagreeing that for vulnerable people reading Books like this or subscribing to “life coaching” as such can possibly be detrimental.

However if someone wasn’t fully aware of their own mental health issues, took the first step read a book like The Secret and saw that it in fact made them feel worse then further realized that the problems they have were probably deeper and then Sought professional help could this not be seen as a first step towards recovery? Surely that’s a positive thing?

People who are able to apply their own “critical thinking” when reading these sorts of things need to be able to say OK well this is not for me and put the book down because - it is a choice. Equally you could read it and find it motivating and helpful.

If people are saying these books are a problem then what’s the solution? Ban them? What about the people they help?

I don’t really read any of the posts from the OP as touting this book by the way - I have taken it at face value, perhaps in a more positive light than others read it hence my responses I don’t sense any malicious intent (or trying to cause offence) - I’m not sure it’s an AIBU though.

I also completely agree with the universe not caring about us mere mortals. What makes humans so special?

It's pure arrogance. People actually believing the universe knows or cares about them, because they're speshal innit.

What's AIBU?

All them people dying of hunger mustn’t of wished for food hard enough.

OP, I'm not exactly sure why you're laughing wildly after multiple posters have said that LOA makes them feel at fault for their infertility.

It isn't funny, and it isn't lighthearted. The correlation to your belief that positivity is what brings fertility is that not being positive enough makes you infertile. You are blaming them for being infertile. That's a hugely shitty thing to do.

I like to imagine you were originally merely overcome with happiness at your news. However, hearing the very real reactions, your instinct to mock other people's genuine hurt is...not very positive.

Wildly insensitive.

PS: it's also bullshit.

Really not as deep as that and OP didnt do anything of the sort in fact keeping going on about it prob makes it worse! I was laughing at the key board warriors nothing to do with infertility not mentioned that once I believe itts all you guys that have!!!

@Laurend0603 - Am I being Unreasonable. You have posted on the AIBU board.

Really not as deep as that and OP didnt do anything of the sort

Was that a name change fail?

OP, I'll just say, genuinely: congratulations on your news, and I wish you all the best for a healthy and easy pregnancy.

@bee222 what do you mean name change fail? I said my OP as in original post jezzz

If you read the whole post instead of drawing in on a mistake you might understand 😊

I have read the whole post. I commented near the start. Have you?

I know what OP means, your grammar confused your post somewhat - hence why I asked.

OP is very often used to mean Original Poster, not Original Post--i.e. referring to the author (you) rather than to the first thing written.

I imagine Bee thought you were referring to yourself in the third person. Or, more precisely, that you had meant to change identities (name-change) in order to post in support of yourself, but that it hadn't gone right (name-change fail). This isn't uncommon, for what it's worth.

No not read it all or everyone's comments ok then the name change fail confused me 😂

@Nancydrawn wow not down with all the proper observations yet! Why would someone change their name to post on their own post? Must be loads of trolls on here+

Well, it's sometimes used if a poster receives a lot of criticism and very little support: the poster then feels the need to drum up support for himself/herself.

It can also be used by trolls, of course.

More generally, name changes are used on this site when someone wants to post something sensitive, outing, or inflammatory without linking it to past posting history. This is often quite benign, e.g. a poster who wants to give inside information on a school where she's an assistant head without readers being able to read posts where she said that she lived in the Midlands and had seven children (which might be outing).

Sometimes people aren't careful to switch back and forth between their original names and their new names, hence name-change fail.

To all of the negative comments :
Do you genuinely believe it’s beneficial to NOT visualise and ask for what you want??
Let’s all just imagine the most shit life we can manifest shall we?
It’s simple, live, breathe, embody, imagine, most importantly give gratitude and thanks for your dream life, and life has to start playing ball with you.

Eh?

Woo blah.

Woo is negative.

Saying woo is bullshit or scoffing at it is not.

It’s simple, live, breathe, embody, imagine, most importantly give gratitude and thanks for your dream life, and life has to start playing ball with you.

You know what, you're right. I'm going to start really focusing, imagining and dreaming of Boris Johnson accidentally sitting on a cactus. Will make his next briefing much more enjoyable to watch.

It’s simple, live, breathe, embody, imagine, most importantly give gratitude and thanks for your dream life, and life has to start playing ball with you.

Someone who's infertile just has to "embody" being pregnant and they'll be able to conceive a child?

Wow didn't even know you could change your name on here you guys are all mumsnet pros 😂

@LuluBellaBlue Exactly wise words!
