Con-Tru-versy: Attraction Versus Justice

The premise that "like attracts like" sounds attractive enough, primarily to those who need such concepts to perceive growth and prosperity. But more likely, as many others here at Zaadz have concluded, it feeds into the narcissistic pool. (See Julian's blog)

Yet, is it really a law when opposites are seen attracting just as much if not more? Even magnets attract opposite poles, which creates a magnetic field. Poverty is attracted to riches. Water is attracted to heat. There are various examples to make the case. And, frankly, most people in support of "The Secret" seem to utterly ignore such vast anomalies.

How many of us know of opposites attracting? There have even been songs on the subject observing how opposites attract. Especially in relationships.

Its my hope many will remain awake to the obvious thats hidden. Things being in plain sight 
that get taken for granted. Even most scientists withold intrigue with this LoA claim. Rightly so. Besides, there is much to be exploited by the LoA. And it could a very dangerous reality in some minds. LoA itself doesn't mean everyone will be in sync on how to use the concept.

But its a relief that despite the bandwagon being formed with this concept of "Law of Attraction" that the majority are yet reserving acceptance. Surely they, too, notice the peculiarity of evidence present on the variations of attraction. Such variations that like attracts like is nullified.

However if it was so, there being a LoA, then where does justice fit in? It doesn't. People who experience discomfort or tribulation brought it upon themselves and therefore are being served as they have desired within. You know, like attracting like.

So (for those who believe in such a law) justice isn't even an applicable idea or truth. You bring upon yourself all that happens to you. Which, again, would solicit the reality that for whatever reason Gandhi brought his murder upon himself. Likewise, Buddha actually poisoned himself, by attacting his demise. And even Jesus somehow, out of all the good and healing he brought to people, attracted an ill fated experience by being tortured to death. And this is just the tip of the great ice berg of paradoxes in the spiritual realm.

So deep inside, all of these so called "teachers" where really dwelling on negative energy? Really? Law of Attraction, like attracting like?

And its funny how no one is eager to address these BIG potholes in the so called LoA. Where is the acknowledgement of such things?

Personally, justice has its presence experienced and injustice has its experience present. It really comes across insensative when such rhetoric as The Secret is convenient for privileged people. But sorely inconvenient for the unprivileged. 'The Secret' doesn't do any justice to life's mysteries nor histories.

And if I'm noticing someone being harmed in public, the LoA isn't going to guide my reaction. Especially since it would have me believe the person is attracting their 
own harm. Rather, I'll know how humans are capable of being accountable for their own actions and chose to assist my fellow earthling as appropriate.

Spirituality in large (not total) portion, less we forget, is suppose to be about living without attactment to things. Especially material things. And how "The Secret" focuses on material gain is a marvel. Is it not?

Surely Jesus is grinning on this one.
