Well, i believe in the transmigration of the souls from 1 body to another, so i would not judge a soul by a single life.

We all have to learn lessons the hard way, soon or later.

On a shallow level, i think you are right, positivity attracts positivity.

Yet, is positivity the ultimate, higher goal ?

I doubt that, possibly the ultimate goal is just to evolve into more perfect beings, and in that case, one life of misfortunes can be useful as a successful life.

Positivity can give you what you want, and if you want happiness, material wealth will not give it to you. Happiness is a state of mind. Radiate kindness and compassion and you will begin to understand.

I am going to argue here that you have zero proof for your assertions, that you are assering as fact. Do you have proof?

Science is in the process of proving it. Search on youtube for the human conscious and the string theory and you will find some scientific proof. As in controlled experiments over years and years. Soon we will all know.

Are you familiar with so called Christian prosperity doctrines?

No Sir! I am not. I was brought up a catholic and renounced it at the age of 13.

That's about right, i think, yet i believe it's a bit more complex than that.

It is indeed, and by understanding how the laws of attraction work, you have whatever you want from life.

That sounds so nice, but can you please elaborate a bit ?

We all attract thing to us, those with a negative outlook attract negativity and those with a positive outlook attract positivity. Have you ever wondered why the guy who is always complaining has one problem after another?

Ok, but if you believe something which is not in harmony with the laws of the universe, those law will break you eventually, or at least that's what i believe.

 

 

The laws of attraction are in perfect harmony with the universe ....

Connected yes, but earlier I think you said that it matters not what you believe in. That contradicts my view. My view incidentally on the matter of two types of faith is a Catholic teaching. I respect your view but the Secret is a heretical teaching to me. I am not attempting here to argue against your view. Our views are simply in opposition

Because of my first point, and earlier expressed view of a supernatural faith

 

we can agree to disagree Sir! I'm good with that.

I see. In this instance you are discussing faith, as something other then faith in a diety. The faith under discussion here is the power of the mind of an individual to accomplish, such as a pole vaulter visualizing he can get over 6 meters, or other similiar analogies. Yeah, thats an interesting topic.

They are both connected actually.

To make it even simpler ...

it isn't what you believe in that is powerful it is your belief!

We are talking about faith here. My faith is in Jesus Christ son of God. The entire claim is based on faith that my faith comes from God as a gift. This is Christian theology. What faith are you talking about, faith in what?

It matters not whether Jesus is a god or not, only that you believe he is. Faith can come from any angle, a person can believe that they are unbeatable, and they are! We all possess incredible potential but hardly any of us know that. Read a book called The Secret.

To have faith one must believe, to believe is to have faith.

 

If you can't understand, I doubt any can explain it. No one was ever educated into faith. It comes from within, not without.

and it is the belief that is powerful ...

"It matters not whether your faith is real or not; only that you believe."

 

I don't understand. What do you mean?

What I mean is the human conscious is very powerful and if you believe in something enough, you can do almost anything. It matters not whether or not that belief is a real source, only that you believe it.

Check out some of the latest research on quantum physics and the human conscious, and the connections.

I agree. Notice how the police are being militarised?

They have an agenda to reduce the population down to about 500 million, who knows? This new virus might have something to do with that.

Science is finally figuring out what the human conscious can really do ... exciting times ahead .. for some ....

And we are back to you, me, us and them. Faith comes from inside out, and maybe not a superpower who control our mind, or influence our mind. 

 

 

agree

First off, a big shout to Ivor for creating a thread that seems to live forever,

Regarding faith, science is now proving that the power of the human conscious is awesome and indeed exists. It matters not whether your faith is real or not; only that you believe.

We all have this power, yet so few actually know how to use it and even fewer know of its existence.

It might be just you .....

I believe in the laws of attraction and I do not focus on negative things and as a result, positive things happen to me. Ridicule all you like but it sure does work for me!
