First of, Heather I want to apologize that my next question will be totally off topic. But I absolutely have to ask it.
Edwin, I read your post about 10 times before I decided to ask you this. Please don't get the wrong impression that this question is coming from a bitter source, but rather from a source of confusion.
Do you truly believe that everyone attracts everything with their thoughts?
I know I do believe it, but I can't help ask myself what about the 150 some million that were murdered, and killed in the 20th century? What about the millions that died in the holocaust, the thousands that died in Rwanda, the quarter million that died in Bosnia? Did they really want to attract those circumstantces in their life? Even better to ask, was every single one of them unaware about the Law of Attraction, but still died regardless?
I can see how certain "bad" things (breaking your leg, doing bad on a job interview, bankruptcy) that you attract into your life can benefit you. Learning from them, becoming aware through them etc. But how do you learn from dying? I mean, if you die that's it, you didn't learn anything from it to benefit you, not in this life time at least.
I think the Law of Attraction gurus have to come up with a slightly better explanation, then just "they attracted it with their thoughts". I don't think anyone wants to consciously attract anything like that.
Thanks for reading
-Andy
