      Same here. My mom fell victim to that belief and passed it on to me. I was discouraged from developing my own interests as a child because the things I was drawn to had 'low vibrations' and I was 'hurting myself' by having them in my life. I had intrusive thoughts and felt negative emotions from time to time, like any human does, which made me feel guilty for bringing misfortune on myself and people around me, which in turn created more and more intrusive thoughts and negative emotions.

    I've read The Secret. Honestly, my takeaway is that positive thinking can help motivate you when you feel shitty, but you have to do the actual work to achieve actual stuff. If you're sick, go to the doctor, if you want money, you have to work at something.
    A perfect life will not just fall into your lap because you think happy thoughts.

      many people think that the law of attraction just places whatever you want into your hands the following week after thinking about it the week prior. i think maybe the law of attraction just opens your mind to more possibilities, leading you to believe that you manifested opportunities. people forget that there has to be actions taken to get where/what/who you want

    Listen, take it from me, I was depressed, suicidal, and gave up on my life 7 years ago, I decided with willpower to change my way of perception and the story I was telling myself. The thoughts that were in my mind were negative, I was broke, didn't see any way out, taking care of a sick parent, felt stuck in life, and my thoughts were down right draining the life out of me. A sudden shift happened within myself, I stopped feeling sorry for myself and I took accountability for everything in my life then let go of fear and guilt. I started believing in myself more, and things I wanted would happen, I put in the effort for them though. Things don't just magically happen for you, you must seek them out with intention, willpower and action. Positive thinking helps a lot though, to see the bright side of a horrible situation might change the way you see everything in life. Now I look for opportunity In every situation (good or bad). Final thoughts...A true "Guru" won't charge you money to teach you something that is priceless. There are too many scammers out there so be careful!

      i came from the most poor village in Africa ... holding a positive mind and believing helps to give you hope ... thats all what i had m, hope for a positive live and guess what i did it .
      I am now a network cloud engineer married to a beautiful european woman with 2 kids and if i look back i don't see what really happened than hope and positive mind i hold all my life

      My life has been changed through doing some of these new age practices along with Ritual Magick. I'm with you because you can't just do the internal work, it takes external effort. Almost everything I've learned has cost me nothing. I don't pay for workshops or seminars, and occasionally I will buy and audiobook or regular book to learn some deeper things. Even science is starting to suggest that reality is just a simulation and that our mind is what creates everything we see. We can all benefit from the help of psychotherapy and belief in ourselves. Again though I also believe that you still need to do the external work to give the internal a path of least resistance to work through. For example my partner and I did a ritual to manifest a new job for me that I would be happy at and be working for someone who was a good leader. I had already put in applications at that point and got a call the next day from a job an interview that lasted 5 min because it was a formality and started the following Monday. My manager is exactly the type of person I wanted to work for because he is a good leader and isn't going to stay in the same place forever, he is moving forward and is already putting in extra time to make sure I'm better at my job. Do I think I could of got the job either way, sure, do i think getting called the day after the ritual was a direct result of us doing that? Maybe or maybe not all I know is it put my head in the space to go after what I wanted. I just got lucky the first call I got was exactly what I wanted.

      Your uncle is correct. I’m a practitioner that helps people discover themselves. I charge no money... and I’m absolutely hated amongst the community because I actually walk the walk. And because I don’t charge money, and offer myself freely and help people get the results they wish for... I’m absolutely hated for it... new age spiritual folk in this for the money are, and can be quite vile creatures. When they discover you’re not like them and in it for the money and ego swell. They will attack you in anyway possible. Stooping lower than the energies they speak about. Your uncle is correct in my opinion. My experience tells me that most of these people are actually quite mentally ill and un aware of it, or in denial. Most of them can’t even follow the basic fundamentals that they teach. And as soon as you ask any questions that may seem “logical” or “rational” you are immediately cast aside... “not resonating” on the “right frequency” etc 😂 trust your uncles words!

      The teachings of "we are gods" and "we are worms," although looking like opposites, result in the same cruel damage to those who believe.
      If you're NEVER allowed to just accept both the glory and the absurdity of being human, it will lead to a dark place. Stoicism, determinism, Calvinism etc. lead to the "we are worms" conclusion -- so anything bad that happens to you is your fault, even if you are unable to change it. A little bit insane and unhinged.
      But the opposite, "we are gods," ALSO means that anything bad that happens to you is your fault, because you didn't "believe" enough or have strong enough ability to prevent it.
      Both of those views completely strip us if our humanity. There's no mercy, no compassion -- just blind, brute worship of "principle" even in the face of self-mutilation.
      Letting go of that lust for "certainty" is paradoxically the only path to emotional security.

    I am diagnosed with OCD, so thoughts can easily become “negative” and can stay at the front of my mind for hours on end. When I first started suffering from this, I was a believer that thoughts have some special meaning, and that belief amplified my OCD.

It was great as i was looking for a job and started the position. But as i did not need it anymore, i saw how guilt inducing it was. And I learned about cognitive bias, magical thought found in psychosis

    • @ik1408
      @ik1408 3 года назад +20

      I am replying to the karma question and explaining why karma most likely does not work. 1. Lessons from punishment are learned when people know what they are punished for and not when they have have no recollection of their past deeds. 2. Among rich and fortunate people, there are so many really bad characters, skunks. If reincarnation really happens, it is logical to assume that the character traits of an reincarnated person are preserved from one reincarnation to another. Otherwise, it would not be called reincarnation (bringng the same human entity into another round of life). Hence, a person, who is bad in this life, was also bad in his/her previous lives and did bad things as the person's character dictated. Yet, in this round of life, they are still nasty, but not punished by karma for being nasty in their previous lives and living in wealth. This indicates no karma. Think of German Nazis, who tortured and killed thousands of people, looted money, escaped from Europe, moved to America and lived long and enjoyable lives after that. What kind of karma lets such monsters live decades of their lives in luxury after they committed those crimes? No karma. Karma is comforting belief of weak people, who are not strong enough to stand up against bad guys.

    Thanks for creating this. When The Secret came out, some of my best friends embraced it. We argued passionately with me questioning its absurdity and my friends defending it. One gay friend argued that as he'd learned from The Secret that the reason we are assaulted physically and verbally by bigots is because we expect to be. He went on that he got on a bus one day, where he's used to being called the F word and no one said anything bad to him because he forced his mind not to expect it. Notwithstanding the fact that as children, we never expect to be called these things or assaulted but we LEARN to expect them over a lifetime of such abuses, this movie taught my friend that being abused was his fault and that he could avoid being abused by basically burying his head in the sand. The Secret preys on people's need for control over things they can't control and misleads its audience into thinking they can't alter their lives with expectations. One of The Secret gurus caused the grizzly deaths of 2 high-paying followers in a fake Sweat Lodge where the group participants were all scalded by steam which he forced them to endure by concentrating, to the fatal detriment of his followers. Another of The Secret gurus was an admitted ex-convict. Con! The worst party to this crime, in my opinion, is Oprah Winfrey. She's a smart woman and has made herself very successful by her own efforts following effective thinking, not wishful thinking. Yet, she deliberately promotes these lies and these liars almost as a sort of class warfare tactic where billionaires seem to realize the best way to stay super-wealthy is to 'throw out oil slicks on the race track' of success, fooling people into wasting their time and not acting rationally to achieve. And many people eat it up. A second friend was poor, as we all were, and The Secret really appealed to her so much that it literally hurt and offended her need to believe it such that she became angry with and resentful of me for criticizing the ludicrous structure of the il-logic of the Law of Attraction. I call it the Law of DISTRACTION.

      You’re not allowed to have emotions, you’re not allowed to touch certain topics and if you’re ever in pain, it’s your fault. You mourn over a loss and you’re looked at with disgust. “You did it to yourself”. No. I didn’t. It’s callous and lacks conscience - made by people who don’t want to face their emotions or handle the emotions of those around them. It’s spiritually bypassing and leads to people around them to “mask” to not be pushed away: the minute you bring up the fraud of this movement, you’re called “blocked” or told “you don’t get it”. You’re constantly mentally devalued because they have spiritual ego that squishes the self esteem out of everyone around them. You have sit, smile, and not oppose anything or you’re put down.
      It destroys the people around them and the brainwashed individual is completely assured they cannot get angry - and if you get sick, it’s your problem. Imagine being on life support being sick with cancer and your partner looking at you like you’re weak because A. You did it to yourself and B. You’re not trying hard enough.

    Thank you, I needed this.

I quit my job to build a business, a decision I still stand by, but at my core I believed things would just fall into place for me because I wanted it enough. I'm obviously young and naive and learning, and have since started putting in the work and doing the scary things.

Belief alone usually doesn’t cut it. For example, I rarely visualize my great physique, but I love to lift & eat healthy. I see myself as a fit individual. So this action process becomes enjoyable, and that’s the sweet spot.

    • @larbueno
      @larbueno 3 года назад +33

      Margot, I am very sorry for your loss. When I read the first line of your comment I'm unclear if it was you or your sister who was involved with Esther...or maybe even both of you. However, I think you are referring to your sister.
      Life will always present us with moments that are dreadful. We will ALL lose those closest to us...or they will lose us, but eventually we will cease to exist as living, breathing humans. If your sister passed with a smile on her face riding a bicycle, perhaps she left this world in more peace than the majority of people. Since I don't know the circumstances of the event, I won't make assumptions which could hurt you.
      What I hope I'm saying with clarity is I used to watch and absorb much of what Esther spoke of over a decade ago. I never got that she was insincere or using us as her pawns. I thought her messages seemed spot-on. I don't listen to her anymore, but I don't blame her for any bad things that may happen to me. All of us will get blasted by Life now and then. I guess it's how we respond to the challenge of anger, pain, loss and blame that determines how we heal...if we heal at all. I believe healing is a choice...not an easy one to get to, though.
      I did the newage thing from the late 80's through mid-late 90's. I was a disillusioned young man looking for a deeper meaning to life and the answers seemed to be available through the many folks offering a cleansing of past pains, a renewal of positivity and dreams achievable...I read books, watched DVD's, attended workshops, travelled around the country (paid for by selling things that actually were making money for me...camera equipment), traveling abroad, sleeping on the floors in homes of the teachers and I was talking all the talk spoken by the newest guru and his/her disciples I'd found.
      Many of these "teachers" were smart people who had their concepts down. I was looking for answers! I kept looking for me out there and yes, I DID learn one major lesson which I wish I'd figured out years earlier...that it was me making the choices and nobody was "making me" make them. I got to choose to be a victim or NOT. I learned that I was responsible for my actions AND reactions. It was ME who was creating my life and it was ME who could allow or disallow people into my life and it was ME who would only allow decent, decent, non-narcissists into my life.
      It also was me who would have "bad stuff" happen to. You know, things like loss of love relationships, not enough money, people I loved dearly dying. You know, real life. That stuff happens to the gurus, too.
      Thankfully I'm not mad or bitter about any of my past teachers who may have been scamming me. They all together taught me to be responsible for the decisions I make...even if those decisions ended badly. I've learned to not blame others. That's HUGE. I hope you don't blame Esther, whether she's a scammer or a real deal.
      God Bless, Margot.

    I've got some family members big into the law of attraction. I agree that people who focus on negative thoughts will most likely keep finding themselves more negative things (you could call it manifesting I guess). But people who think only positive thoughts are also going to be finding and manifesting negative things. Because they're going to be missing red flags that warn us situations aren't as positive as we are wanting them to be. I experienced this in a former job I had. I kept saying this is great, but turns out they were leading me on and taking advantage of me. It's not about positive or negative.

      But no one has the money to pay for product or service... products and services do not create money you dhead... some banks once upon a time told us we had to exchange service with firstly borrowing money but that's about it...
      Don't be such a parrot. Repeating shit you don't really think about.

      @@zionsky3342 money is a State's creature, which exists way before Banks.
      The States decide what money is, when they tell us what is the "thing" they accept to pay their taxes

      @@zionsky3342 Money itself is meaningless, its only purpose is to be a certificate of value. If you provide time and skill to an employer they will compensate you with money as a certificate that you provided them a certain amount of value. Then you can exchange that value (money) for whatever you need. Its not that hard to make money, look at your local job listings, instead of getting a loan from your bank. People have been doing it literally since the dawn of time and if you're stupid enough not to see that, then i am not surprised these "gurus" that promote some magical law of attraction are making millions of idiots like that. Instead of insulting others who work for their money instead of ebegging, go outside and do some work, money will come.
