The law of attraction eso & exoterics

It doesn't.
Placebo effect for the ego, at best.

You feel that the mind has no influence over the outcomes of situations.

If so then why is it that humans, weakest, slowest, clumsiest and least stealthy of all beings are the top of the worlds food chain with no natural preditors? And why are you at the philosophy forum, at the philosophy of mind section I might add, if you don't value the mind?

You seem to be a philosophical heckler nameless, and synic. Correct me if I'm wrong.
However if I'm right I would apprecieate it if you would develop a more optimistic heckeling approach. It would mean better chi for you and everone else here.

I think it is similar to humor vajra,

You can't really deduce what humor is or how to always know when or how to make something funny. Certain things work, and timing is important. There are times when it always works and moments when it would seem to work but fails horribly. So this sort of shakable uncertainty is almost ruined when you try to define it or mold it. If it is repeated to often it can become stale or even become repulsive. I can't really put it any other way...

I agree that it can be over used. But only in the fact that one might use it untill one is in the negative side of their emotional side than in the positive.

In my first hand experience it works prety consistantly when properly applied. It is only when I find myself more wraped up in negativity like doubt, fear etc. that it does not.

However not everything works exactly as I planned it. It is not magic, it is science.

Hence the Law of Attraction.

Is this a question or a statement?
If a question, then I would respond in the affirmative. Yes, I do so 'feel'.
I do understand the Perspectives that 'disagree' with 'this' one as also 'valid' (in context and also ultimately).


I'll play the 'why game' for a moment. Let's eliminate the 'human' from the equation for a moment. For arguments sake, lets assume that the lion is now top gun in the schoolyard. Obviously 'because' he thinks his way there? Because he makes plans an attempts to carry them out? If successful he takes credit, and if not casts blame and makes excuses, and revises his plans?
Now, lets eliminate the lion, and the next and the next and so on and so forth, now the bacteria and viri are the top of the chain. Does your theory still hold?
I find the question faulty in a number of ways, but that is one.
The 'assumption' of 'causality' is another.


Really? Is there some requirement here that I, and everyone else that might post here, "value (whatever that might mean to you; I'm sure that it will mean different things to different people, but, shall I accept you as arbiter?) the mind"? If the discussion is about 'mind' then as far as I can see, to stay on topic is the only 'loose' requirement. Perhaps only people who agree with you are welcome on 'your' threads?
I offer food for thought. Not everyone finds them 'palatable'...


Hahahahaha!
Thank you!
Are your thoughts and notions so seldomly challenged?
Are you so unused to critical examination of what you present?
Do you expect us to accept what you say simply because it is (drumroll) 'you' who are presenting it?
Especially on a PHILOSOPHY site?
Philosophy is primarily the critically thoughtful examination of assumptions, taking nothing on anyone's say-so.
So, brother, if you cannot handle the heat of the critical scrutiny of your words, what are you doing on a philosophy site?
Just come to 'teach' us all?
"Those who dare teach must never cease to learn!"


Oh my gawd! One of 'them'...
"Niceness is next to dogliness..."
Perhaps we'll achieve mediocricy someday...
Are you so unused to straight respectful honesty? Are you so used to the disrespect of 'nice lies'? "No dear, that dress doesn't make you look like a kielbasa!"
And now you speak for "everyone else here", to bolster your own flaccid ego!
I hope that contact with my words hasn't bruised you too much.
I'll leave you to lick your wounds.
Perhaps it would be wise to ignore me if my words disturb you so? Put me on your ignore list. Then you don't even have to read em!
But I shall respond to what and where I do.
Unsubscribing from thread.... Now!
(Please don't stalk me.)

First of all, the Idea here for me was to further my own understanding and ability to use the law of attraction as a system. Not to get into an agrument.

Second, I am confused as to why the statement, "It doesn't.
Placebo effect for the ego, at best" (and I quote) is a critical examination of my presentation.

Foruth, I am confused as to why you think that the lions intelectual prowess is what would lead it to dominon over the earth. As opposed to its strength or other other more evolved and domination quality.

Fitfth, The mission statement at this web site states that:

"The goal of the Philosophy forum is to build a supportive community of users around the world that will strengthen and enrich its members guests through open communication debate and disscussion on the topics of philosophy and other general disscussion."

I gather from the MISSION STATEMENT that this is a supportive community designed to enrich its members.

(pessimisim - an inclination to emphasize the adverse aspects, conditions, and possibilities, to expect the worst out come) -websters

Your pessimism may be enriching it may not even be pessimism. But you have not stated your views at all. By that I mean that you have not communicated, debated, or disscussed your views on this particular therad. And so have not enriched the community. I am open to you thoughts pro or con but state them so I Can be taught by YOU:a-ok:. I'm sorry if i attacked you that goes against the rules. Hope to hear from you.

Thanks

P.S. gRammar wasn,t my ebst usbjec't,

Its ok vajrasattva, nameless' approach to philosophical dialogue is equivalent to an arrogant heckler. (You hit the nail on the head) And yet, when his own viewpoints are questioned he turns and runs, hypocritical would be an understatement. His social skills dont seem to be up-to-par with the rest of us, but dont fret, there are more intellectually mature people on here for quality discussion.

i hope regarless of his views he comes to enlarge upon them for us so we can see what they are.
