And it is no accident because they know right where to find you when you are in that particular stage of your evolvement. Their livelihood depends on it.

I also must say that I believe it is potentially dangerous to publish this knowledge so freely. In former times, initiates who aspired to learn the secrets of the Ninja, gung-fu, etc. were put through a trial period. For instance, the master would give the aspirant certain chores to perform faithfully for a period of time. Usually, these duties were lowly and humbling. This was a test to weed out those whose motivation for learning the arts were for personal gain or power. The masters knew that these egoistic individuals would never be able to complete these humble servant type duties, and would likely quit in exasperation. Those whose motives were pure would likely persevere, and in time be made a true apprentice having proven him or herself. The masters knew that not only was it dangerous to teach these secrets to those with nefarious motives, they also knew that this knowledge could also potentially harm those who undertook these teachings without guidance from a true master. Today, in the pursuit of the almighty dollar, this knowledge is sold on the open market. Chee-gung, and Feng-shui are examples. This knowledge should never be made available unless it's taught under the direction of a true master. In the book The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks, they postulate that through the law of attraction you attract whatever is your dominant vibration, whether it is good or bad. What is the danger in this revelation? By revealing this you can place a tremendous burden upon an individual. The revelation that we are responsible for every event in our lives is tremendous. This could basically nullify an innocent readers conception of God. His or her belief in an omnipotent being who protects, has a plan for their life, and has their best interests at heart,could instantly be shattered. This could leave them in a frozen state psychologically. Suddenly, they are faced with the tremendous burden of taking responsibility for their lives. It is fact that certain human beings are naturally stronger than others physically. For instance, one individual may be able to press 300 lbs., whereas another only 150 lbs. In the same sense, some individuals are naturally stronger mentally than others. One individual may be able to handle the awesome shock of having to take responsibility for the creation of his or her life, and another may not. Do you see the potential danger in this? An individual having read this book may not have the wherewithal or even the ability to control or stop his or her negative train of thoughts. The revelation of this Law of Attraction could actually prove to be a death sentence in some cases. Bear with me for a minute if you will. For example, a person who had not previously read this book, may be one who suffers from a recurring nightmare or belief that someone or something is out to kill him or her. I know this is an extreme example, but I believe it is entirely possible. Then he or she reads about the basic premise of the Law of Attraction "like energy or vibration attracts like energy, whether it's good or bad". Now, he or she may be placed in that frozen state I spoke of formerly. His or her previous conception of a protective God or guardian angel is now shattered. And this paranoid and recurring thought they always had grows and grows until it possibly becomes reality and a tragedy. I know this is an extreme example, and maybe even a little far- fetched. But, I use this to illustrate the dangers of revealing certain knowledge without the proper guidance to go along with it. This is why the ancient masters subjected prospective inititates to the long initiation process they did. It is my belief that certain knowledge is not meant to be commercialized. We could debate the validity of the Law of Attraction indefinitely. But the revelation of the Law of Attraction may in fact be a blessing from Infinite Spirit to us, but it can also be potentially dangerous in the wrong hands. Fire heats our homes, cooks our food etc, but it can also destroy when out of control or in the wrong hands. Our government has what it calls Top Secret Information for similar reasons. For the revelation of such information could prove harmful to the individual and collective psyches of the masses, potentially causing mass panic and chaos. Whether or not God truly exists is something that can be debated. But there are certain members of our society who do believe in God whether they call him Jesus, Krishna, Allah, or any other name. The revelation of a law such as the Law of Attraction could potentially shatter these fellow members of our societys conception of God. As God in psychological terms is akin to a beneficent parent to us human beings. He is one who protects, provides, provides a plan for our lives etc. The shattering of this perceived role God plays in their lives could lead to those believers being left in a kind of limbo, a vaccum. And nature abhors a vaccum, and she will faithfully rush to fill them. And in filling this vaccum, it could lead to negative beliefs that via the Law of Attraction manifest outcomes that prove disastrous for these individuals.

The point is that if the answers are: Yes it works. Yes it's useful. Then it doesn't matter why it works, or how, or if there are exceptions. It is useful, so use it. Does medicine work? Is it useful? How about Faith? You can answer for yourself, but I would say they both would answer yes on both questions. Just substitute whatever you want. Ask if it works and if it's useful. If yes, then there's no downside to believing in it. If it's not useful, or it doesn't work, then it is stupid to believe in it.

I can also assume Medicine is a lie. I dont disagree with you.. mind you, just find that to be the oddest leap of logic... Faith can not be described as a lie, yet using your logic... I assume it is. Perhaps love... and war as well ;-) lol..Interesting Fiar… so… I can also assume Medicine is a lie.
