Everyone Grows Out of the Law of Attraction Phase of Spirituality
One of the most common critiques people make about the law of attraction (LOA) and manifestation is that if people are so proficient at it and have attracted riches to themselves, why don’t they manifest abundance for the have-nots and the poor?
LOA apologists state that one cannot manifest on behalf of another person, and I would have to agree. In the same way a poor person can win the lottery and somehow return to the same old standard of living in a few years, even if one could manifest riches for a poor person, it would be futile.
When I was first learning about manifestation, I watched a video featuring Neale Donald Walsch hoping to hear his words on how to bring stuff into your life.
He spoke to Eloise King about his appearance in the movie, The Secret and that when he watched it, he thought to himself, “If we have such incredible power that we can attract everything and anything we want in our life, why wasn’t there one minute in a nearly two-hour movie spent on how to create world peace?”
It’s a fair question and a brave one considering he was in it himself. But again, I have to say that the LOA and world peace have nothing to do with one another.
