You're doing it wrong. 2. There's something in you that's wrong. 3. Keep trying until you get rid of what's wrong. But bad things will still happen to good people; always will. Look at Jesus. If bad things keep happening, then there must still be bad stuff in me. I keep trying and trying to get rid of it and I keep failing, obviously, because bad things still happen to me. I'm a failure. I'm no good. But that's not true. The "law" of attraction is what's false. It's only half of the truth and that leaves it a half-lie. The full truth is this: From every single cause arise *multiple* effects of *both* Yin and Yang, "good" and "bad" natures. People have known this forever. It's enshrined in platitudes, and only the most real, universal, truest things survive long enough to become platitudes. "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs." "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." "Every silver lining is cast by a cloud." "You have to take the bad with the good." This LOA denies half of reality, one side of every coin that we mint with every action. People who believe this "law" is the whole law blame themselves when it just doesn't work. Intent doesn't make any difference. A child beaten vindictively may grow up to be a great philanthropist. A child beaten with "love", "for his own good", may grow up to be a serial killer. Intent does not shape effects. There is no predicting the effects of our actions, except that there always will be both "good" and "bad" effects. Karma is Chaos; karma is not Law. There is no law, no order to the Universe. The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you. That's very hard for people to accept, but it is the theory that best predicts what's really going to happen: No matter what you do, with what intent, both bad and good are going to come of it. So these five "solutions" of yours to what I'm "doing wrong" are complete wastes of time, energy, worry, and guilt. Be glad because feeling glad feels better than feeling sad. Be kind because being kind feels good. Don't sweat the possibility that the bum may spend your buck on booze instead of food. You were kind to him; feel good and enjoy it. Expect good things to happen because optimism feels better than fear, not because there's any possibility of expectations creating good things. Actions create things, and things always come in good and bad multiples. If you're glad and kind and optimistic all the time, don't be surprised when things go wrong anyway. Be prepared. "Optimism is believing that things will work out for the best. Confidence is knowing what you'll do when they don't." ~ Max Gunther in "The Zurich Axioms" Be confident. That feels good too. Max also said, "Chaos is not dangerous until it begins to look orderly." The "law" of attraction is a dangerous delusion of order. Every honest, true thing is simple. The more complex a thing is, the less likely it is to be honest or true. LOA is so complex people need books and DVDS and weekend-long seminars to figure it out. And it still doesn't work. Do what makes you feel good, and don't do what makes you feel bad, inadequate, worried, guilty, frustrated, powerless, etc. Simple.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kendra, look at what you’re telling people:</p> <p>1.
