Perhaps it highlights disappointment, or negative expectation or some other vibe you have going.. Only you know that. But in my experience my vibe is always a perfect match to what occurs in my life.

Believe it in your heart..

That makes more sense to me, but the idea that we need to believe in something 100% for it to occur simply doesn't match my own experiences. I've attracted outcomes that I've had no faith in and never expected to happen. Maybe it has to do with vibes or more general beliefs.

I think you'll find that if you look at it from a less literal perspective, you'll see very clearly how your underlying beliefs dictate how things play out. It's not so much about exact events materialising. Like, you didn't visualise or expect an interview. But what happened after the interview? Your beliefs were confirmed when you didn't get the job. So your vibe is one of "yeah I knew I wouldn't get that, I'm surprised I even got an interview." I would hedge a bet that you have other areas in your life where you're also vibing "yeah I knew that wouldn't happen." See how it's not necessarily the event? It's not about the interview, it's about your underlying vibe being highlighted for you. Or confirmed, if you will.

But you believed that there was a chance you would get an interview, else you hadn't applied for the job, right? It was nothing you thought impossible.

what a downer. But I chose to believe in LOA. To many success stories prove it works.
It is shocking that someone would post this. However, do not allow it to put you in a down mood.

Re: Skepticism on the use of law of attraction (harsh reality)
Because your vibe reflects it. It might not be exactly what you imagined, but it's always a match vibrationally.
In that case, it's not that reality reflects your beliefs, it reflects your vibes? And if we didn't get what we imagined (believed in), wouldn't that mean our vibes were off?
Reality most certainly does reflect your beliefs. You get exactly what you TRULY BELIEVE, not what you sit and visualise. If you aren't getting what you want in life, then you're absolutely correct- your vibe is off. But your vibe is directly affected by whatever you actually choose to believe as true.
Again, give us an example?
But visualization does help right? With the feelings and vibes and stuff.

When you believe the opposite of what you visualise, you can do it till the cows come home and you will still get what you believe.

Re: Skepticism on the use of law of attraction (harsh reality)
It means you can mentally picture (visualize) something in your head but if your underlying beliefs are in contradiction with your mental picture, those beliefs will override the visualization. You will therefore attract things that are in line with your underlying beliefs an not your mental picture/visualization.
You don't get what you want or what you mentally picture; you get what you believe and what you accept as/assume is true.

Ahhh so it'd be best for your beliefs and visions to match, thank you for clarifying I understand it more
