Is the Law of Attraction Designed for Black People?

[PhillyzFinest]

I'm a big believer in the law of attraction... but it's often spoken about and used to attract more money, prosperity and first world luxuries.. but what about the real world shyt?

I hear coaches and experts telling me to take a break from watching the news... but am I protecting my energy by ignoring what is going on in the world?

Is the Law of Attraction for black people?

I think about the Sandra Bland incident. Did she "attract" that energy into her life? How do we as black people cope with the reality that THIS happens in the same country you're trying to be successful in?


Can you believe in the power of positive thinking (and/or the laws of attraction) and still believe that racism, violence, and terror can visit without a psychic invitation?

As a person, how do you put your positivism in the world and deal with the attacks that come your way?

How do you retain an essential openness and optimism that allows you to dream without ignoring the sometimes ugly realities of human interaction?

Is this possible?

Wondering if I should post this in The Root instead

Police brutality happens because black people go around expecting cops to be violent towards them.

how you feel & what you think are personal matters

physical action is the the only thing that holds weight in reality

all that psuedo.hippie.neo.new.age bs is just opium

Just pointing out the contradictions... they SAY you attract the life you have but how the hell do you explain this police brutality / racism shyt? That isn't what we're sitting at home manifesting... just trying to make sense of it all.

Keep thinking this. It's been around for decades upon decades. Those who understand it will swear by it but you cant make people believe, it's often a self-revelation.

Police brutality and racism is used to condition your expectations and self image...
One of the main reasons that 1st Gen black immigrants do so well is they haven't been "programmed" by American society.

The law of attraction holds true.. it isn't just about attracting positives. How you view yourself, your community, and the world leads you into alot of situations you might otherwise have passed by.

modern version of loa is weitten by ppl born into white privilage they are sheltered from circumstances and enviornment where those kind of things are a threat to even be considered. they have less worriws in the world so they can preach about “using” loa for wealth and abundance. solipolism is a nasty thing. depending on which historical angle u interpret loa from (most popular seem to he hermeticism/neoplatoism/rosicurcianism) loa is only but 1 of the laws so the new age preachers are cheating everyone by claiming it to be the one and only. plus those traditions use the belief system not to aquire wealth and power but to better themselves to be the best they can be to explore the mysteries of life and benefit society. think of the famous medeval and rennisance occultists/alchemists (which gave rise to science and new ways of discovery) and how much they benefitted thr world from their work inspired by their belief system/personal philosophy. its only from the 1900s occult craze that the meanings and philosophies started taking a more capitalistic/self indulgent flavor to them. i guess my point is to not think about the modern interpretation because it will leave abad impression to anyone who isnt white. afterall its everyone else fault they arent as prosperous as white (victim blaming/preserving/justifying their privilage).

People can say one thing and do the exact opposite without even realizing what they’re doing. If for instance I want to attract no negativity in my life then I have to resist negativity in all forms(music, tv, internet, real life)

Most people will say they don’t want to attract negativity and then be front row seats to Facebook fukkery or listening to hardcore negative music. In the case of police brutality you gotta take the police into accountability as well....maybe those cops secretly wish to attract violence unto others

Made-up cac bullshyt

Nothing created by cacs is designed for the positive well-being of black people

 

[PhillyzFinest]

Is it "made up" cac bullshyt?" or is it a universal law that is interpreted from cacs for cacs? Some principles work with every ethnicity and race.
