Is the Law of Attraction a hoax? If I proclaimed to channel the god Bahghu Mahgufu from the seventh realm of consciousness, wrote a book about it and expected people to believe it—would that make me a prophet with millions of followers or some self-exalted idiot?

I am pointing fingers at a few humans who believe they are exalted. They have convinced people they speak to spirits beyond—or have magical powers. In unadorned terminology, they are full of shit. Scam artists. Quacks. Liars. Fabricators. What ever you want to call it, that’s what they are.

The Law of Attraction

If you haven’t heard of the law of attraction, you’ve been living under a rock. Please read my article about how the movie The Secret is one of the biggest marketing scams in history to familiarize yourself with my fact based opinions.

It is argued who actually conceived the law of attraction, but Ester Hicks is considered the world’s foremost authority on this pseudoscience. OK. Get this: she believes non-physical entities called Abraham speak through her. I find it interesting she chose the name Abraham. Are we to believe that Ester Hicks speaks to God directly? Or that God has chosen her to be the catalyst for his word? From a psychological standpoint, Ester Hicks has serious personality disorders—too many to list in one article. Do I hear megalomaniac?

First of all, the law of attraction is nothing new. Most of it is derived using ancient theology such as Hinduism, Taoism and many others. She took bits and pieces of many belief systems and basically made up her own. I do concede there are many elements in the law of attraction I agree with: a positive vibe, being giving, hoping for success, believing that thoughts are powerful—affecting your body and the people around you—and so forth. But I do not believe Ester Hicks speaks directly to God, or whomever this Abraham character is supposed to be.

According to M-theory in physics and concepts of quantum mechanics, the universe is composed of vibrating tissues. These vibrating tissues of space/time are all around us, inside us and even in the dark matter (which we cannot see but makes up the majority of what is). In other words, we are connected . . . literally, on a subatomic level. We are like fish swimming in an electrical pool—interconnected by particles and energy—the energy of life suspended in the vibrating tissues of space/time. Being alive, we are immersed in a bio-electric energy which has been photographed by Kirlian photography. So, according to science, we actually are connected even if we’re thousands of miles apart.

It is my assertion that the law of attraction does have some validity, but it’s not magic or the power of God. It’s simply an awareness of our own energy and how it affects us in every way. I read Ester Hicks’ book The Law of Attraction, but was shocked that everything she said were things I learned as a child–nothing new, nothing ground breaking. I could write a book about it myself and call it The Law of Revellian—but that is beneath me. This spiritual energy can be cultivated through studying Yoga—which is really what Yoga is all about, and it’s been around for 1000+ years before Christ. While I am a cynical skeptic of self-proclaimed individuals who believe they are chosen by God, I am a student of spiritual arts—Aikido being one of them.

Scientology

When it comes to major league lies, few can top the ridiculousness of Scientology—a religion created by science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. Scientologists believe that an alien named Xemu brought humans to earth 75 million years ago in spacecraft resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners. And I ask you, is this not the most ludicrous load of fallacious crap you’ve ever heard?

You can believe whatever you want, but it’s difficult to respect Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard had a serious god complex as does Ester Hicks, and millions of people believe them. They are much like Jim Jones, Rasputin or televangelists—only trying to do something positive (while lining their pockets with our hard earned cash). They are megalomaniacs.

Ester Hicks and L. Ron Hubbard may seem insane, but many of you in agreement believe in Jesus. If you believe in Jesus, you believe he died and was resurrected after three days. So are Ester and Ron really that wacky compared to followers of more traditional religions? Jesus was of course not the first religious figure to be born on December 25th, die and be resurrected after three days. This is the exact same story as Horus the Egyptian sun god, Attis, Krishna, Dionysis, Mithra and dozens of other solar messiahs throughout history—all predating Jesus, all born December 25th and based on the death and three day resurrection concept.

Questions

I actually had to stop looking at Twitter before my head exploded from the endless droves of positive thinkers, success oriented zealots, law of attraction experts and life coaches. I just can’t take it anymore. What exactly is a life coach anyway? And who are the people that hire them? With so many people writing the same content, I must have fun with them. I don’t care if I offend readers either; there are already too many people worried about stuff like that.

I may start a blog about the power of negative thinking just for fun. I’d like to become a death coach. Hey, I’m naturally rebellious.
