I agree with you on a lot of this Blue, but a lot of scientific information in studies proving this? Not even sort of. That's a HUGE stretch and blatant lie to say. I appreciate the post but please leave out lies. One lie can dissuade an individual from believing or even reading your posts, let alone believe in the LoA.
You're joking, right?
No where am I lying - there are publications and scientific journals talking about the subconscious mind and it's power.
An easy google search as well as browsing through the Scientific American and Journal Psyche will prove this. There are literally hundreds, possibly even thousands of studies out there. Individuals such as Sigmund Freud, Nikola Tesla and many other well-known scientists have spoken about this topic before.

Yes it is scientific. It is mind over matter. Perhaps you should study up on that.
And I would greatly appreciate it if you don't accuse Blue of posting lies.
Thank You.

Hi TIMU, am i reading your post correctly?
You disagree that there is "…scientific information and journals online explaining the subconscious mind…"
Granted there is so much more science is yet to prove about the human mind's capabilities, surely you are not discounting the fact that scientists have been researching the concious and subconcious mind for years now?
That line i quoted from Blue's post is the only reference to the term 'scientific'.

You misread then. I wasn't saying it isn't scientific. I'm saying that there aren't "numerous studies proving this to be real" or whatever was written
And blue
To a degree. Saying that itself is a stretch. There's nothing proving that manifestation works. The best thing you'll find is of the placebo affect and it's studies, or buckyballs showing macroscopic objects displaying wave-particle duality, but it's a gigantic stretch to try and say that it's close to even sort of having to do with manifestation. Double slit experiment? I can see that. Still a stretch though.
It's like taking a quote out of context, and assuming its talking about something else.
If you disagree guys, Id definitely recommend studying up on these things. Because you're going from A to W, whereas these studies only go from A to B. You're making assumptions (or are you lying?), streeeeeettttttching that B to W.

Why are you so angry, TIMU? Even if there aren't a lot of scientific studies--and I have no idea, personally--I sincerely doubt Blue was trying to lie to anyone. You can offer your input without seeming downright hostile and accusing someone of lying.

I did not misread your comment. You called her a blatant liar. And now you're trying
to defend it by picking at her wording?
Are you a scientist??? Well, I'm not a scientist, biologist or psychologist - nor do
I pretend to be. But I know that meditation, visualization and manifestation works
for me. Can I prove it? No. Does it work for everybody in all instances? Who
knows and who cares. This is an anonymous forum whose topic is empowering
women, not friggin MIT. Please get a grip.

I understand that there are some people that are non believers but I don't think it's ever necessary to attack anyone. The only thing a person lost while reading this is the time it took to read it. If you have an issue, just don't read it. #my2cents

Quoted not my words - "Recent brain imaging studies are rapidly showing that the brain does in fact conform in its function to the “Law of Attraction”. Perhaps the most convincing evidence to date has been the discovery of “mirror neurons”. At first seen in monkeys, scientists eventually found a set of “mirror neurons” in humans that mirror the behaviour of someone who is being observed. That is, when we observe someone doing something, the same pattern of brain activation that allows that person to do what they are doing (e.g. lifting up their right hand or smiling) is mirrored in the brain of the observer. It is as if the observer is doing those same things. Activation's are seen in the premotor and parietal cortex of the brain: regions that prepare the body for movement and attention. Thus, our brains appear to mirror the actions of another person automatically. Similarly, when we act, the brains of others will fire in a similar way. Our actions cause similar action-representations in the brains of others." - interesting article on the studies taken place involving brain activity and the LOA, on the huffington post (it wont let me post the link) x

If you go back and read TIMU's posts, this is not abnormal for him to feel this way and be doubtful. When something doesn't work, they blame the idea or method, instead of taking responsibility for not doing what they were supposed to do. But, I always wonder why people remain on forums that have subjects they don't agree with/believe in?
