yes, definitely new agey, and against the 1st Commandment. And I’d say - entirely false/made up.
 
it’s essentially trying to make humans into God, as if we can change reality in this way simply by wishing it, when really it’s God’s action. It also goes against prayer, and the spiritual value of suffering.

I see… :ehh::hmmm:

Thank you! 🙂
 
is a fact, id say its old age too, i use tge law of attraction daily now, and its a REAL thing, like the movie says, you cant deny the law of gravity and neither can you with this, the whole dvd movie is on youtube , just search for - the secret 2006, its the 1st one about an hour-2 long.
 
The Law of Attraction is all about using your mind to create reality. Not in a “You can do anything you put your mind to” kind of a way, but a “Your thoughts become reality” kind of way. This is very incompatible with the Christian understanding of reality.
 
In addition, suffering occurs so that we can share in the Cross and help other souls, and learn to love God, - NOT because we are not “positive” enough lol.

In the video I linked, the lady explains how this teaching comes from a “channelled spirit” (so RIGHT AWAY we know the real source of this…) and then links it to ideas in the occult and sorcery. The lady who is interviewed used to practice this “law of attraction” and recommended it to others. She also explains how this teaching led to the suicide of one of her students.

The channelled spirit who talked about this “law of attraction” even said that - there is no God apart from this “law”. So we KNOW this whole thing is from the devil. Furthermore, it simply doesn’t work scientifically. It’s just a lie.

Very true. Close call for me. Please say a prayer for my strength :o
 
the Catechism:

2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another’s credulity.
 
Ya.As mentioned,its not compatible with Catholicism or with science.
Also,worth mentioning is that there is this stuff in some of Christianity too.
Eg:it appears that “word of faith” Christians also use the same principles.
Ie:“name it and claim it” “speak to your sicknesses” “speak to your wallet and call in the money” etc.
It seems they are doing perhaps a similar thing as the new age people who teach “law of attraction” but just that with the word of faith Christians instead of using the word “universe” they use their interpretation of the bible and their interpretation regarding Christs life and death.
They believe that when Christ died,that He/this took away all sicknesses.So when they have a sickness in their body they will say to it along the lines of “in the name of Christ be gone!” or “by His stripes i am healed!” etc etc so they basically delude themselves and deny the sickness exists.It holds much dangers for a persons mental health/sense of reality and also possibly for their physical health(because some refuse to go to a doctor cause by doing so they believe they are not having faith that the sickness has vanished).
Also some of them believe in “prosperity gospel” and believe that the bible says that we all should be wealthy so they do things like speak certain verse out loud of the bible believing it will create this into existance.
Some of the also believe that “negative confession can create negative results” and they often (incorrectly) use verse like Proverbs 18:21 “life and death are in the power of the tongue” and they use this verse to sugget that people need to be really watchful what they speak “cause they might create it” so in my view thats twisting the real meaning of the verse and in my view even some of things termed Christianity is “witchcraft” in a sense.
