Comments on: What To Do When the Law of Attraction Doesn’t Work http://blog.mrfire.com/what-to-do-when-the-law-of-attraction-doesnt-work/ Thoughts, news, riffs and reviews by Dr. Joe Vitale ("Mr. Fire!") about marketing, publicity, selling, hypnosis, copywriting, books, fitness, metaphysics, "The Secret" and anything else he cares to comment on, including healing, humor, the Internet and yes, maybe even sex.

Ilike you but the LOA is nothing like the law of gravity.Gravity can be measured and tested the LOA cannot. And to say gravity works like this ,there for so does LOA is just wrong.I am sorry Joe ,the LOA was was just a great marketing gimmic that made you and a lot of other people a lot of money,while a whole moere people who put there faith in it failed and some lost everything.Joe you are a great copy writer and marketer,but that is it.

Sooo, wouldn't you need to think of the OPPOSITE of what you want to attract? Also, Physics 101 says that gravity is a function of mass. It is caused by the magnetic pull of the mass and is NOT present in most of the vast space of the Universe. So, does the so-called "Law of Attraction" apply only on the suns and planets like gravity does? Please explain the "neurometaphysician" view on these questions as your "physics" isn't making much sense to a me, as a real physical scientist. Thank you!!

These are basic techniques taken from Cognitive-Behavioral Theory, a proven practice in the field of Psychology. The scientists who showed that thoughts affect feelings and actions never claimed to be using physics. This is just very clever marketing of some very old (and good) ideas - making them seem magical and mystical. If you read the Dale Carnegie books from the 1920s-30s you'll find the same concepts. We know in neurology that thoughts actually change brain chemistry, which changes emotion, which can lead to positive or negative actions and the resulting consequences... It's not physics, not a "Law of the Universe", not created by Joe Vitale, but it is related to the study of behavioral science. Peace and thanks! Bill,

I have listened to the CD's multiple times. For some weeks I had put the CDs aside. Then I began to feel particularly hopeless. I found The Missing Secret again and listened. The next morning I recieved a call for donations from AmVets. I felt distrbed and I knew that I must pay atttention to what I waa feeling. I felt that our veterans needed more than just a donation. That was this past Saturday. Today is Thursday and I am in the process of building a program for our returning vetereans and current veterans. I am trying to buy a ranch/farm in SW Texas at which our veterans will be trained, educated and employed. Our farm will raise dairy goats and sheep, herbs, vegetables, grapes for Texas wine, and may include raising emus and chickens. I will also have homes built for the veterans to buy. And I thank you, Joe Vitale, for teaching me to allow the flow to occur in my life. I am so grateful to you. I have your CD set, The Missing Secret. I have listened to the CD’s multiple times.

I never imagined to learn so much in such little time from you. I purchased the book "The Secret" and saw the movie as well. When I watched the movie, although everyone exercised a tremendous participation, in my opinion, you were the one individual that caught my attention. You have a clarity of expression and explaining circumstances that get right to the point. I identify myself with many things that you mention in "The Missing Secret" as well. I recently purchased this material and am really enjoying it. Although the DVD kind of cuts off sometimes, I am not sure if it was a reproduction defect. This is a miraculous piece of information. I am so grateful that the Divine has given me the privilege to come across your material. I was undergoing a state of depression, and not enjoying my life as I used to after giving birth to my second child, as well as losing my job and facing foreclosure. After reading the book "The Secret", watching the movie, reading and listening to the material provided in The Missing Secret, my life has improved approximately 75%(since I learned of your materials only 1 month ago). I am still waiting for the divine to resolve all my issues, including my foreclosure matters, but my faith and gut tells me that this solution is on its way. I just have to be patient and take action for improving my life. I have taken the first step which has changed my feelings, thoughts and emotions. It has even changed the way I feel about everyone around me. I wish all I could do for a month is read all your material. Also, is this material in Spanish. I would love to tell my family members about this, but they do not understand English that well. In order for me to translate this for them, I guess I'll have to have The Missing Secret Party. How about the rest of the non English speaking population? You shall really consider translating it into Spanish. Please let me know if I can assist, I am fluent in Spanish. I can speak, read and write in Spanish. Dr. Vitale, thank you for changing my life. This is just the beginning of a new life filled with prosperity and abundance for me. I have no words to describe the excitement I have and how grateful I feel of your existence. Now let me say good bye with my favorite exercise from The Missing Secret, I AM SORRY, if I have taken five minutes of your time to read this e-mail. PLEASE FORGIVE ME, for loving your material. THANK YOU for clarifying my hidden thoughts and changing my life. I LOVE YOU for creating this enriching jewel of material. MAY GOD BLESS YOU EVERY SECOND OF YOUR LIFE!!! Thanks again for your precious time. Respectfully, Alexa Hello Dr. Vitale:

But one thing I would like to seek clarification is about the action to be taken for attracting wealth. I have understood the principles, the methodology of Wealth attraction but as an employee of a company, I would like to know what action needs to be taken to attract wealth. Please bear in mind that I am only an employee. I am totally convinced with the LOA and its operation.

I just don't understand how it can be compared to gravity without offering any math as means of explanation. Gravity is a mathematical concept. If the LOA is like gravity, then where's the math? Otherwise it shouldn't be considered a law, but rather simply an idea. still searching for some explanations about the connection between LOA and gravity other than just saying that they're both laws because you say so. thanks Still wondering if anyone have any insights at all into the math behind this “law?” I just don’t understand how it can be compared to gravity without offering any math as means of explanation.
