if you keep repeating something in your head does it happen

These are minor differences to our perceptions. What about poor people or victims of famine?

That's rationalisation if ever I saw it.
LOA doesn't work at all.

All I'm saying is that there is something to it.

Pardon me butting in here, but if you have been throwing out to the universe about needing money, that's what you'll get back. A need of money. It's like saying, "I want a new car," you will always be wanting, without actually getting a car. You are telling the universe that you want/need, not that you have.

At least, that's how I understand the LOA.

No its not. Its fuelled by something deeper.

As I said earlier, there are other things involved--like whether you are asking for something out of lack, like if you believe you can get, like if you are "connected" at the time. You obviously don't want to learn those things, don't believe.

Just goes to show, whatever you believe--will be true. Beliefs are just thoughts you think a lot. You will have those thoughts, you will attract others who believe as you do, you will collect examples of things being the way you believe (more thoughts) and it will be true.

Case proved. Thoughts (beliefs) create.

So then, all the victims of famine, earthquake, drought, flood and poverty brought it on themselves did they?

Not at all. No. About Lilith von Gore.
I'm on her ignore list so I can afford a little more candour than I otherwise might.

Apologies for any misunderstanding.
