I came across this phrase in my logs of what people are searching for when they come to this blog: “Answers to law of attraction critics”.

I found it somewhat interesting.

If you are looking for answers to the critics, I would ask you why? Why do you feel a need to respond?

You are in control of your thoughts and your beliefs. You will decide what feels right to you.

This, by the way, is exactly what the critics do… they are skeptical. It is easy to be skeptical. I have chosen that route for most of my life. It is safe, because you can be skeptical of almost anything! As an added bonus, cynics always have lots of company (especially on the web), so there are plenty of people with whom to share the misery.

If you are interested in The Law of Attraction, learn about it, talk to people who have studied it, give it a whirl. You have nothing to lose, except the false constraints you have placed on your life up until now.

If you are entering this space defensively, you may not have as much success with it as you would like. There is nothing to defend, really. The principles are things you can apply at a pace that works for you, and there is no dictate that I am aware of that says you even have to tell anyone what you are doing.

Of course, when it starts working and changing your life, you will want to talk about it. The best thing is to find like minded people with whom you can share these thoughts.

If you stumble across criticism online or in your social circle that bothers you - the thing to ask yourself is why does it bother you? If these are a reflection of your own fears and anxieties - then be grateful you have stumbled across them… now you can pick them up and rid yourself of them, if you so choose.

If they are not your fears and anxieties - ignore them.

You are not here to convince the critics. You are not here to change anyone else.

You are here to create the life you came here to create. You are here to develop and share your unique God given gifts with the world. Studying the Law of Attraction is just one stepping stone on your journey. The teachings contain practicle processes by which you can learn to better use and direct your mind and your energy.

They are gifts. If you are drawn to them, I would suggest you trust the force that was at work in drawing you to them. Study and learn. In doing so, are you not simply growing your spirit, raising your vibrations, and taking your life to a higher ground?

Are there people who will say this is all nonsense? Sure there are. Do I care? Not so much.

Trust me, when looking for good material to post to the high Vibe it site, I come across all kinds of critical posts on The Secret and The Law of Attraction. I have not yet run across one that was written with a loving tone, or from a voice of experience, or even wisdom for that matter.

Mostly, I see fearful and defensive posts based upon such deep rooted misunderstanding that I am almost not able to decipher the real message at all. Occasionally, the ‘good citizen’ side of me wants to stop and say “but wait…. you don’t get it… there is so much more to this!” - but then I realize… the critics are on the journey of their choosing. They often seem to be seeking a negative perspective of things they do not fully understand - and this is what they attract unto themselves. More negativity.

So, if you are resisting the teachings because you are drawn to the criticism, just stop and say “ha, I see what I am doing here”, and let it all go. If you want to.

Embrace that which serves you.

If and when you are so inclined, you will want to learn more about your higher self, and embrace more and more of what serves the “real” deeper you, not just the superficial time-space based ego-you.

In my humble opinion, that’s when things really start cooking!
