It works, especially if you're a writer.

Grant Morrison wrote a character modeled after himself into physical deterioration after catching a virus, and then ended up in the hospital, dying.

Realizing the connection, he wrote his character out of the sickness and started letting him win every fight and have sex with a bunch of women, and ended up recovering his from illness (staph infection) and began having, what he describes as the best time of his life.

I thought about having sex with beautiful models a lot too, yet it doesn't seem to work.

Not only is this attitude exactly why it hasn't happened, but you're forgetting that none of this is instanteous.

That because you have to wait longer than it takes for you to orgasm.

Lol, one piece of anecdotal evidence about someone who, apparently, is susceptible to belief in the supernatural! It must work!

I once wrote an essay about dealing with your the passing of a loved one, and told *myself* that it was based on a close friend of mine. That friend died of an overdose early last year.

It works.

It's incredible what fucking stupid things people will believe, even when it's not packaged as a religion. Gullibility is everywhere.

If you tried it properly, you would see that it's legitimate.

There are also millions of people with severe mental illness, coincidence?

It's bunk. Thoughts do not manifest into reality, when they do it's coincidence.

The only way positive or negative thinking has been demonstrated to affect reality is in performance related activities, that's it, and that makes sense, if you psyche yourself up or down it affects your ability to do a task.

I don't see people doing superhuman things, that is a fact, no matter how much you want it, it's not going to happen, prove me wrong.

[grime-reaper]

Ever tried looking up the word coincidence in the dictionary?

might blow your mind

The law of attraction has NOTHING to do with achieving the supernatural, and everything to do with cognitively connecting to the metaphysical world around you. How else do you explain people like Rasputin? Exactly. They knew this shit.

You do realize that staph infection is caused by the presence of Staphylococcus in the human body, and spontaneous generation has been disproven since the 1800s? You're shaking hands with flat-earthers in terms of retardation, buddy.

You guys are misunderstanding the law.

The law of attraction doesn't do the impossible, it manipulates the probable.

Right, so writing certain scribbles in a book increases the probability that a certain bacteria gets in your body.

Explain what about Grigori Rasputin exactly? Very little of what he was about is conclusive, I don't buy into things that are not credible or verifiable.

The truth is that you influence only your subjective reality, not objective, observable reality.

The Laws of Attraction is dangerous and dismissive, it feeds into the personal ego and blames people for their personal plight. I'm not into that scene, man.

[DoctorStrongbad]

If you don't like the law, than don't think about it.

Writing helps, but it's more than that. It's believing. It's becoming one with the fabric of reality.

Cool story, bro. Tell it again.

[II2none]

Law of Attraction is just about increased confidence, not becoming some pseudo Jesus.

The only thing that I don't understand is how you can believe something THAT fucking stupid and think it's some kind of profound insight.
