The Law of Attraction

Re: The Law of Attraction

@Theorist

But you are not the only one whose thoughts count!

**You’re right. Other people have good or bad thoughts too. I have read that when we curse someone, the curse rises up and seeks out its intended recipient. If he/she is deserving of it, it will affect the person. If he/she is not deserving of it, it goes back to the sender. So, even in a negative thought like a bad-dua, Allah won’t let it happen unless the recipient deserves it. So, that negative thought is controlled by divine hikmat or wisdom…and thank God for that…otherwise there would be chaos in the world if thoughts alone had so much power. Do you believe you send thoughts out to the universe? And do you believe this universe to grant every single thought or wish without reason? Or do you believe the universe implements a system of checks and balances when receiving our thoughts? If you believe that the universe implements a system of checks and balances…then your are basically saying that 1) Wisdom is implemented and 2) Law of attraction is restrained by this system…thus implying that it doesn’t work as “freely” as you believe. **

If you remain positive but everyone else around you is negative, it does affect you as well. That’s also LOA.

**I answered that up above. And sure others thoughts can effect us. Ones negative/jealous thoughts can be translated into actions that sabotage us. But, we have surah Falaq and Naas and ayatul kursi where we seek divine refuge from the jealousy of others and evil thoughts and machinations and nazar of others. Their impact can be prevented by seeking divine help a d their effects can be combatted by divine help.

My dad was a very negative individual yet my mother has been very optimistic and positive all her life. My dad suffered many heart attacks and eventually his heart gave out. No matter what we told him about taking care of himself and be positive, he wouldn’t listen and thought it wouldn’t matter. His heart was so weak that doctors were amazed that he lived as long as he did. Even though he died at quite a young age, 58. Some say he had his family’s duayen..

I know cases of young people…dying from the shock of the news of the death of a loved one. There are people who live to great old age after having faced many tragedies. A woman I know miscarried after hearing of the death of her friend’s children in a creak accident. My aunt carried her daughter to full term while seeing her husband die from liver cancer. Theorist, we all will die when it’s our time to go.

Dua can change kismat. And we are told that Allah is to us as our opinion of Him. So in that respect, yes we should think positively. I think there’s a sort if danger in the LOA where one might beat themsekves up thinking that that they didn’t wish hard enough or long enough to prevent a tragedy or to save something or get something. It can produce feelings of guilt, no? And that can be a burden, no?
