Ever heard of the Law of Attraction? It is something being pushed in the new age realm that sounds awfully good on one level; however, it also seems to be a bit seductive – like the adulteress woman licking her lips:<\/p>\n
Pro 7:10\u00c2\u00a0 And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.
\nPro 7:11\u00c2\u00a0 She is clamorous and wilful; Her feet abide not in her house:
\nPro 7:12\u00c2\u00a0 Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lieth in wait at every corner.
\nPro 7:13\u00c2\u00a0 So she caught him, and kissed him, And with an impudent face she said unto him:
\nPro 7:14\u00c2\u00a0 Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me; This day have I paid my vows.
\nPro 7:15\u00c2\u00a0 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
\nPro 7:16\u00c2\u00a0 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
\nPro 7:17\u00c2\u00a0 I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
\nPro 7:18\u00c2\u00a0 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves.
\nPro 7:19\u00c2\u00a0 For the man is not at home; He is gone a long journey:
\nPro 7:20\u00c2\u00a0 He hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon.
\nPro 7:21\u00c2\u00a0 With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along.
\nPro 7:22\u00c2\u00a0 He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;
\nPro 7:23\u00c2\u00a0 Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life.
\nPro 7:24\u00c2\u00a0 Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth.
\nPro 7:25\u00c2\u00a0 Let not thy heart decline to her ways; Go not astray in her paths.
\nPro 7:26\u00c2\u00a0 For she hath cast down many wounded: Yea, all her slain are a mighty host.
\nPro 7:27\u00c2\u00a0 Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.<\/p>\n
I can say that the “Law of Attraction” does seem to be in effect in my own life, as there have been many things that have happened that would seem to fit in line with what is being peddled by this oh so clever marketing.\u00c2\u00a0 Deep down inside, I guess many of us have places that secretly desire to get that which we haven’t worked for.<\/p>\n
Do we recall the S and L fun of the 80s? How about Adjustable Rate Mortgages? Something for nuthin. Accepting a credit card with high interest rates so you can be cool and have a “real” credit card?<\/p>\n
To be fair, I have had things happen where I issued a prayer and then “let it go” and a couple days later or in some cases -years later, the prayer would in fact be answered.\u00c2\u00a0 It has been things as simple as a button for my shorts, my missing wedding ring, my wife, and even a job. However, in many cases I did have to work still. The law of attraction would not work for some guy showing up with a million dollars on your door step I think. You still would have to work… otherwise I suspect that the payoff may be at another time.<\/p>\n
This may be coupled with the idea of Abraham being counted as righteous for believing God – after he put is son up for sacrifice. The action followed the intent it seems.
\nPeddlers of the law of attraction imply that Physics professor John Hagelin is a teacher of The Law of Attraction.<\/p>\n
“A scientific basis exists for the ideas in “The Secret” but was simplified for the masses<\/strong>, counters John Hagelin, a professor of physics at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield who is featured in the DVD.Hagelin said his research has shown that thoughts can affect the physical environment,but advanced training in mind techniques is needed. Advanced practitioners of Transcendental Meditation are currently involved in mass meditation in Fairfield to create world peace.<\/span> ‘The Secret’ sells because people don’t have to do anything,<\/strong>” Hagelin said. “They just have to want a necklace and it will come to them. But so weak an influence is working at the time that they are better off getting a job and buying a necklace.”<\/span><\/p>\n Clever marketing gimmick? Ever heard of the Law of Attraction?
