Interesting theory I heard the other day regarding reincarnation and child abuse. Most people find sexually abusing a child reprehensible (and rightly so), but almost always that child who's being sexually abused was a child abuser him or herself in their previous lifetime.

They have to reincarnate as the victim so they can experience firsthand what its like to be abused. This is part of the personal karma they have to work out.

I dont know if this is true, but it sure sounds interesting.
And if it's true you shouldnt feel sorry for them, because its something they have brought on themselves

No, you don't need to give up sex. Sex, in its purest form is an expression of love and a means of bonding closely with your partner, thus the term "making love". It is a good thing. If your only motivation for sex, however, is personal gratification then you might have cause to reconsider the basis of your relationship and bring more affection and tenderness into it. Mutual gratification, though, can also be a force for bonding, so don't decry that out of hand either

I agree 100% with this 

Every date-setter I have seen so far have all fallen by their prediction(s).

I too will be having a coffee (perhaps with some kahlua mixed in)  

Ah okay, I thought you might be one of those fire, hell and brimstone preachers 

There is this experience, in which a Buddhist monk apparently meets yaldabaoth:

Just curious Andrew, but are you  Christian or a minister in a church??

Most people don't like to hear that, but yes, lust is an animal aspect of the soul, so those who seek to rise spiritually have to overcome fleshly desire and prove that they are spiritual and not like the beasts.

So that would include giving up sex even with your wife/girlfriend??1! 

Certain important aspects are: hate, greed, envy, desire, jealousy, and fear

Could you define "desire" for me please??!
I assume that includes sex and/or lust??  Does that mean you'd have to completely go without any sex??!!

That would be a toughie 

If you know what you have to do and you set your mind to accomplish it, it should take just 1 lifetime, but great discipline

You mean knowing what your purpose is here on earth, and then carrying out that purpose??

You stop reincarnating when you become perfect

Which can take 100's or 1,000's of reincarnations, right??

[Matthew 7:8]

Verses which seem to indicate Bible supports Law of Attraction:

Matthew 7:8 "For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

Matthew 18:2-6 He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. (Folks, this means to have that positive belief like a child has as it listens to his/her parents tell them something- they just believe them instinctively- unless we have that kind of faith in the great spirit- we will not grow in spiritual matters and we will not attract the right things into our life)

John 10:10 Jesus said, "I come so that they may have life and have it more abundantly".

Job 3:25 when he said, "Because a dreadful thing I have dreaded, it has come upon me. And what I have been scared of comes to me." (Ah folks, this is using the law of attraction fully but in reverse of what you want. You attract whatever your think about habitually- good or bad)

Mark 11:24 "What things soever ye desire, When ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them". (Friends, this is a powerful verse because it takes god's judgement or favor OUT of the equation- it shows that you have whatever YOU belive- not whatever god feels like justifying that you should or shouldn't have; I heard a charismatic chrisitan preacher explain it like this: YOUR WILL IS GOD'S WILL)

Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Giving thanks is another positive tool to focus your mind positively and to draw more into your life the things you think positively about)

Matthew 7:11 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who keep on asking him!
(I quote that verse just to show that the bible doesn't say you need not have good things but that god will give good things to those whom keep on asking- the implied message is that it comes to those whom are persistent in thought and have faith)

Matthew 17:20 I tell you the trust, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there" and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

Ephesians 3:14-21 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

Luke 19:11-27 (New International Version, ©2011) The Parable of the Ten Minas 11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12 He said: "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.[a] 'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.' 14 "But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, 'We don't want this man to be our king.' 15 "He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it. 16 "The first one came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten more.' 17 "'Well done, my good servant!' his master replied. 'Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.' 18 "The second came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned five more.' 19 "His master answered, 'You take charge of five cities.' 20 "Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina (about 3 months wages); I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.' 22 "His master replied, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then didn't you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?' 24 "Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.' 25 "'Sir,' they said, 'he already has ten!' 26 "He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27.'" (OK, the important thing to remember about this is the last verse. The key is hidden in that one. Why do those who "have" – more will be given even more and those whom have very little- even the little bit that they have will be taken away? Sounds pretty mean and harsh if you do not understand the law of attraction. See, a person whom has abundance, expects abundance and attracts more of the same and it snowballs; the same principle is true for those whom do not have abundance. The good news is- if you consciously use this power you can build on your successes. Success builds more success.)

Galatians 6:7 – 8 "Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction."

Matthew 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

Mark 11:24 ... whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

Mark 9:23 Everything thing is possible for him who believes

James 1:5 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt.

Proverbs 4:23 Be careful yhow you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts (That's the Law of Attraction right there folks in those two verses and here is another verse that sums it all up nicely:)

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (See, a master doesn't rely on what is in his sphere of vision, but rather, relies on the assurance of the goodness of the great spirit to respond to his beliefs and starts projecting those beliefs of certainty with visualization and will power)

Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.

Psalms 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Deuteronomy 24:19 When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the alien, for the orphan, and for the widow, in order that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
(Think about this one. It is instructing you that you are not to worry about possessions but to live with the belief that all good things come to you naturaly- so why stress out? If you were to be stressed out- that would be a lack of belief that good things are coming your way or flowing with you. Also, it is a message that in giving you are also showing the creative spirit that you are not worried about things and so do not need to hoard as you realize good things continually flow to you and also that you are an example of the great spirit in that you also give good things to others)

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success

Jeremiah 17:8 For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit (this is one of those verses written for those with eyes to see- it means that if you keep having the right thoughts, keep using will power, keep striving and not give up even when things seem bleak- that you will eventually see good things in your life again)

Psalm 35:27 Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication; and let them say continually, "The Lord be magnified, who delights in the prosperity of His servant." (I added this verse again, to show that god delights in prosperity)

Mark 10:52 And Jesus said unto him, "Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way." 7:50 He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

Matthew chapter 9: starting with 20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened (folks, these versus clearly show the principle of belief. Science has shown miracles over and over of people whom were cured of disease by believing they could rise above the circumstances. The mind has ultimate control of the body and is it's captain. In these passages- it is not Jesus whom cures anyone but the individuals total 100% belief that allowed them to be instantly cured of an illness when they fulfilled whatever they believed they needed to do for the healing to be made manifest in their reality)

Has anyone else noticed your memory gets better when you practice LofA??

It gets better without even having to try and memorize things

Absolutely, it's called entanglement in quantum physics. Here is a short little video clip on it that describes the basic concept.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh8uZUzuRhk

If you have any more questions after watching feel free to ask and I will do my best to help you out.

Ah okay, so everything is connected with everything else, and universe expanding is just kinda like a large elastic that keeps stretching but never breaks.

I think I'm getting the basics

In it they say identical matter particles can exist in different locations at the same time.

If somebody could explain that to me, that be great.  Cause I dont have a clue what he's talking about

I thought some of you might find this interesting:

Hi blaktatt,

Yes, I've read it.  The experience is continuous.  It's not so much as proving it to ourselves as it is coming to the realization that we continuously create our reality.  There is never a moment when we are not forming our own reality.  It is impossible not to

This is true.  Every time you have a thought you create a reality.
And since the brain works non-stop and doesnt take any breaks you are constantly creating reality

^^^^  well that means I'm definitely in "The Zone" because I get very, very excited when thinking about my work projects.  Money doesnt get me too excited anymore cause I already have enough to live on comfortably.  The work I'm engaged in now is more a labour of love, as opposed to me looking to get rich off it.

Also I phrased same question on another forum and got some good responses: http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=18574

Question for everyone, please.

How long does it take before you receive something you want using LofA??  For example if you need a new car, does it take days, weeks, months, years??!  I know its different for everyone, but please post your own personal experience(s) as to how long it took before you received what you wanted using LofA

The bloody media...

Yeah, looks like I've been tricked by that lousy media again 

Somebody wrote a book on the phenomenon called "Cities in the sky", it was first published in the Whig-Standard Magazine (January 19, 1991):

http://www.resologist.net/art06.htm

A mirage is usually defined in terms of an atmospheric distortion and an optical illusion. Light from an object may be bent (refracted) or reflected by air, and the mind of the beholder is liable to see something which is not what it appears to be. For example, a thirsty traveler in the desert may be looking at the sky reflected on a layer of hot air over the sand. The mind, however, sees instead a pool of water and may even add to the imagined scene the palm trees of a surrounding oasis.

Some Canadian scientists have used "mirages" to explain a lake monster as being nothing more than a piece of wood floating on a placid lake or a UFO as a bright planet seen through a turbulent sky. Although this may be true sometimes, I would rather see some explanation as to how a vast and detailed image of a city might be projected into the sky, if it is only a mirage.

In the Transactions of the British Association for the Advancement of Science of 1847, Dr. D.P. Thomson reported that "during the exhibition of a panoramic model of Edinburgh, in the Zoological Gardens at Liverpool, on Sept. 27, 1846, about 3 P.M., an erect image of Edinburgh, depicted on the clouds over Liverpool, was seen by two residents in the Great Park at Birkenhead, for a period of forty minutes." Edinburgh is about 325 kilometers north of Liverpool.

Another extraordinary mirage was reported in the London Times as having occurred on July 28, 1846, at 3:30 A.M., near Stralsund (then part of Pomerania and now Germany). During a short walk from the city on the Baltic shore, witnesses saw in a pale blue light the image of Stralsund looming over the Isle of Rugen on the opposite shore for a period of 15 minutes. The image was clear enough that details of the facade of the Gothic church of St. Mary could be "distinguished with ease."

An American prospector, Mr. Willoughby, claimed he heard an Indian legend of a city appearing in the sky each summer near Mount Fairweather, on the Alaska-Yukon border. Mr. Willoughby said he first saw the mirage in 1887 and offered a photograph as proof that the phenomenon was real. In 1889, the New York Times reported that the city in Willoughby's photograph had been identified as Bristol, England. This story and the photograph were included in a later edition of Miner Bruce's Alaska.

Two other cities were said to have been seen over the Muir Glacier in Alexander Badlam's Wonders of Alaska. Badlam reprinted Willoughby's photograph, which depicts a view of a city from a hillside with house fronts and church steeples clearly visible; and, if not claimed to be photographed in Alaska, it could readily be accepted as a photograph of Bristol. However, a second photograph is presented with an African or Asian city superimposed upon another of a glacier. Badlam writes that the photographer had captured the mirage's image by aiming his camera into a pan of quicksilver and that the city seen in the sky was believed to be sunken in the waters of the bay in front of the glacier. The third city was supposedly sketched from a photograph, but the fanciful spires and towers of the artist more closely resemble the looming mirages of Arctic icefields or the Fata Morgana of the Straits of Messina than anything else.

Badlam's stories are as hard to swallow as a plate of "snow worms" set before a tenderfoot in Alaska, yet the stories of cities in the sky were repeated by other witnesses. One of the members of the Duke d'Abruzzi's expedition to Mount St. Elias, C.W. Thornton, told Miner Bruce he saw what looked like a city in the summer of 1897; L.B. French was quoted by the New York Times in 1889 as seeing houses, streets, and large buildings, either mosques or cathedrals, near Mount Fairweather; and, a correspondent of London's Weekly Times and Echo returning from the "Yukon Goldfields," saw a city in the sky in June of 1897 and wrote: "...whether this city exists in some unknown world on the other side of the North Pole, or not, it is a fact that this wonderful mirage occurs from time to time yearly, and we were not the only ones who witnessed the spectacle."

Phantom cities may have loomed over Alaska, but the fact that no sizeable city could be found within a thousand kilometers of Mount Fairweather did not deter the scientists of the time from speculating that some extraordinary property of the atmosphere would show a scene from distant Bristol. What other evidence apart from the testimony of witnesses and Willoughby's photograph would offer any credence to cities being seen above the wilderness of Alaska?

The same phenomenon exists in Ireland. The "Duna Feadhreagh," or fairy castles, have long been reported. On the coasts of Antrim, Donegal, and Waterford, enchanted islands have been seen rising from the depths into the skies.

The Chronological Description of Connaught, written in 1684, says: "There is, westward of Arran in sight of the next continent Skerde, a wild island of huge rocks; there sometimes appear to be a great city far off, full of houses, castles, towers, and chimneys, sometimes full of blazing flames, smoke, and people running to and fro. Another day you would see nothing but a number of ships, with their sailes and riggingsa; then so many great stakes or reekes of corn and turf."

At Rathlin, in 1817, a green island was believed to arise out of the sea every seventh year upon which could be distinctly seen people "engaged in various other occupations common to a fair."

At Youghal, a walled town was seen distinctly in October of 1797. By June of 1801, the mirage had grown into an unknown city with mansions and forests behind.

Such marvels were recounted by Dr. Thomson in his Introduction to Meteorology and before the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1852 by Mr. M'Farland (who had witnessed a fairy island arise from the ocean off Portbalintrea in June of 1833). Sir Charles Lyell, the distinguished geologist, wrote of seeing a mirage of Toronto in the sky over Lake Ontario during his second visit to North America.

What I find intriguing is that such accounts of extraordinary mirages take on forms which are recognizable, they are seen on repeated occasions, and sometimes a panorama of images and events are observed. Not only have phantom cities been seen in the skies, but also armies and ships, described in detail. Such phenomena may have less to do with atmospheric conditions than with displays of a ghostly nature on a vaster scale.

In the British science journal Nature, accounts of mirages in Scandinavia, such as the one here in May of 1882, may have helped prompt an earlier acceptance of tales from a sourdough in Alaska and the legends of the Irish:

      The frequent observations of the mirage in the south of Sweden is [sic] very remarkable. From time to time we are told that whole landscapes, cities, and castles, with moving objects, have been observed reflected on the sky for hours, and we again learn that a similar display of the forces of Nature was seen one afternoon last month over the lake of Orsa, in a remote part of Dalcarlia, lat. 61 degrees, which is stated to have reflected a number of large and small steamers, as if plying on the lake, and from whose funnels even the smoke could be observed to rise. Later on the scene changed to a landscape, the vessels now taking the form of islands in the lake, covered with more or less vegetation, and at last the mirage dissolved itself in a haze. The phenomenon, which lasted from 4 to 7 o'clock, is said to have furnished a most magnificent spectacle.

When I read of the latest sensational sightings of Ogopogo, the Loch Ness monster, or another flying saucer in the newspapers, I am as inclined to wonder as do modern scientists if the object viewed was nothing more than a "mirage."

However, would the scientists of today be as willing to swallow reports of cities seen in the skies as mirages of distant places? Such a phenomena requires closer examination

Any chance this is an astral city that somehow became momentarily visible in our physical world??

Or is it just a regular mirage??

So your issue is with the commercialization of LofA then, fair enough.  I guess I misunderstood your post 

Maybe there is a bit of that going on, but I'm happy LofA is at least starting to get out there instead of it just being in the hands of a lucky few people.  So in that respect I'm happy its going commercial

^^^^ the fact you call it crap tells me you dont really believe in LofA.  And if you dont believe in it then its not surprising you only get 1% success rate.  You have to practice what you preach, if you dont then how can you expect to get results to whomever you teach it to??!

^^^^ thanks Jilt


Something interesting I noticed re: LofA.  If I think about something I need a few dozen times throughout the day I start feeling vibrations, its the same vibrations that I feel just before I OBE.  It feels like energy surging through my body.  And that energy gets stronger the more I think about whatever I'm trying to attract

Pretty damn cool I must say 

Can you guys recommend what the best book(s) are on LofA??

List: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/home/search/?keywords=law%20of%20attraction&pageSize=12

BTW  I read somewhere that if you see really successfull, good looking people, who seem to have it all, are rich, dont age much...etc, chances are very good they use the LofA in their lives.

Examples:  Jane Seymour, Jaclyn Smith, Tom Cruise...etc

Of course they also could just have really good surgeons.....LOL.

And while I still think Scientology is a cult, they do practice LofA also apparently. 
So that would explain why so many of them are succesfull in life
