It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I used to post a lot earlier this year when I was learning about LOA as much as possible. I have spent the last two years using my spare time to look up about LOA and also other things like telepathy, metaphysics, parapsychology, paranormal, hypnosis, magick, reiki and I have also dabbled in shamanism and following different spiritual teachers for a little while too. Here's what I have really discovered through all my pondering so far. Firstly, things that stand out to be talked about in all those plains and that seem to definitely have basis in truth would be the idea of telepathy, energetically or mentally sending and receiving thoughts or signals from people, precognition-notably dream precognition, the ability to change a belief in oneself-hypnosis and using LOA suggestion can help to cure phobias, stop certain addictions, even erase feelings of love for a person. The power of the intuition is real- the intuition can sense the emotions of another person easily, it can sense danger. 

But, my friends, here is where the story about attracting a person truly begins and ends. A person will not do something they do not want to do even under hypnosis, as in, if it goes against their truest wishes, they will not. So a person will never do what you want them to do no matter how much you want them too if they Do Not want to. Magick is an interesting subject, very few people in western culture believe in it, but a lot of people in parts of Africa and Asia and the Caribbean do and people do believe when they feel insatiable lust or obsession for someone that they might have been put under a voodoo spell, so very common spells that witchdoctors do in those places are binding spells-to put distance between two people. So the point of that is- people do not like when they feel they are doing something they do not want to do either. So basically, if you want an ex back, spend maybe 2 weeks at most using LOA type exercises, but then just stop and have faith that if that person is ever open to the idea of you again, they will reach out. But do not have faith that they WILL be open to you again.

The problem with this forum and other 'Ex-back coaching' and things online is that they all have with them hope, which, to people who are quite desperate or upset, is like finding water in a desert. But hanging on, ironically, is what LOA preaches not to do, but hanging on is what people do when they come across this idea of using mind techniques and positive thinking to get your ex back. Also the idea about loving yourself is interesting in this sense-everyone who comes on here has the ability to move on from this person in time after grieving and healing, but what people here are trying to do is to both hold on and hold out for hope of reconciliation and actively using methods and things to accomplish that-and trying to 'let go' to achieve that outcome. Meanwhile, I'm sorry to have to say this, but about 85% of the exs of the people on this forum, really just do not care about them anymore. At least care in the sense that you would want them to care. The worst is the exs who may still be in contact with their partner who is on here, and maybe are toying around with them, giving them false hope and the person on here gets so excited and thinks it's all working out just as LOA said so. 

Also, on another note- there is a lot of shadiness associated with law of attraction, like with Esther Hicks. If you ever really look into her history and her husband Jerry's, you'll find there was a lot of holes when it came to their message versus their real life as well as the fact that Jerry had read about LOA before Esther Hicks started 'channeling' Abraham and there are discrepancies in their teachings. I'm not saying they're all wrong- but they are essentially capitalizing on the industry of giving hope to, mostly quite desperate, people. And if you ever find yourself in a plane crash, a car crash, maybe get shot by an armed robber- it is unscientific and non nonsensical to just assume that you attracted that. Because children in the poorest slums in India dream of having hygiene and clean water every day, they dream of toys and being rich too, but the majority of them live and die where they are. And people who are caught in ISIS run towns and who are being killed and sold to sex slavery-they didn't 'attract' that themselves. So with large scale and more serious matters than love relationships, law of attraction should not be taken into account, because there's no basis for it at all and life is not just as simple as thinking positively and getting what you want or thinking negatively and getting what you don't  want.

Positive thinking is great, it will get you lots of things sure! But you can be the most positive person in the world and one day slip off a mountain and die. And think of all those once positive children who develop cancers and other diseases. Life is that way, it's foolish to think you can control it. And yes, it's foolish to think you can control another person. In my life, when people have come back to me, it's because they themselves Want to, and I did basically nothing, didn't even wish for them, had moved on, accepted the death of the relationship and gone on with life. This is the most healthy option and I hope if anyone here is in a place where they are holding out for hope with all evidence pointing that the other person does not want to come back, has moved on with someone else, or just was not happy with them anymore, that it's better for you to take their resistance to you as evidence that ultimately your energy and theirs do not mesh anymore. That your time for now is over. To re-energize yourself for the next stage in your life and not to get stuck on this one person and hold yourself back for them. Take time to grieve the loss, but then learn to move on. Maybe get some therapy or hypnosis to help you. Don't rely on the idea of any great power or fate or source to bring him or her back to you because you want it, you can't always have what you want in life, but most often-what you want is not what you need.
