So back in the day, one of the reasons I didn't believe in the LoA is because it felt like it blamed people for certain terrible things that happen to them that they would never bring on themselves. And I've been thinking on that again, trying to figure it out. I mean, little kids don't think about being abused, and yet they are. People don't think about ending up in abusive relationships, or being assaulted, and yet they are. People don't think about getting a disease, and yet they do.
I'm genuinely curious about this. What is at work here? When children are abused, when people are subjected to wars and famines, when people are assaulted-- what's at work here? I think it's a big hurdle to believing and understanding the LoA/ consciously creating. Is there something else going on? I feel like there must be, and since I'm new to this, I'm hoping you guys here might have some insight!

Well what you see in reality isnβt due to your thoughts, itβs due to what you believe. Each person has a whole combination of beliefs at play that they may not even be aware of. Sometimes it really takes some self reflection to find the belief(s) at play in a situation. You start building beliefs early on, even as small children. And it doesnβt matter your age, you are always creating your reality. Also, beliefs translate to reality in different ways. For example, a belief that you are unworthy could translate into you being bullied as a child.
Reminds me of a previous discussion on this forum:
