Law of Attraction

[John Shaw]

Sounds to me like you're engaging in collectivist speak now.  Who elected you to speak for all listeners?

What a bunch of crybabies.  

Sheesh.

<<<Knew it was an addendum to the show and isn't a part of a major shit fit.

If it became a regular staple of the show, which it so far has not, I'd get pretty crabby, but I can keep a cool head about it otherwise.

Landmark.

I feel good, and so should you.  Do you?  If not, why not?  Aren't you here to feel good?  I know I am.

If you aren't enjoying your life, you are wasting your life.

   Yup.

At least do the libertarian capitalist thing and take a clue from the overwhelmingly negative listener reaction to this stuff. We don't want to hear it on the show, that's not what we tune in or sync up for. The market signals are telling you to drop the mysticism stuff from FTL, unless of course, someone calls in about it (though how you can credibly reject or debunk them while simultaneously subscribing to you own brand of it, I don't know).

Sounds to me like you're engaging in collectivist speak now.  Who elected you to speak for all listeners?

I'm just drawing a conclusion from the overall response here. This is the only sample of listeners we have to look at, and there is no one posting here who likes to hear about this stuff. Besides, I don't like elections of any kind, and I sure wouldn't stand as a candidate in that one. Furthermore, I suspect that you wouldn't respect the office, either. Maybe I'll take a poll here and see if there is sufficient aggregate negative demand (if that makes sense) to influence your future decisions about the subject. I mean, let's do a little market research, OK?

[Dylboz]

Poll's up.

Don't waste your time.  I'll continue doing what pleases me.

What a bunch of crybabies.  I put the interview at the end of the podcast.  No one forced you to listen.  Mark asked if we could do it, and I said yes.  We haven't had a LoA topic in a long time. 

Boo-hoo.

Did anyone complain that they were forced to listen?  No.

Does listening voluntarily mean that we have to agree with you, or should refrain from saying why we disagree?  No.

Relevance of your comment to the actual discussion, then?  None. 

[FTL_Ian]

Nope, just heard them complaining about content they could easily have avoided.   

[Rillion]

Yes, and?  Does the fact that people could avoid content mean that they have no reason to object to it?

[Dylboz]

So will I . It just so happens, bitching is a hobby of mine.

Object all you want if it makes you feel better!

As a newcomer to LoA, I request more info on the topic, on every show. Constantly dealing with all this reality nonsense is not conducive to my positive mindset.

I suggest we continue to urge others to not think of the less-than-positive aspects of life, and to do that we need to talk of only positive things. The airwaves are full of " -'s ", and the less of those FTL broadcasts into space the better.

One thing though, if I am working towards having a positive planetary alignment for my own benefit, am I not by default denying someone else of their positive alignment, in effect having wronged someone else unwittingly?

[freeAgent]

I think we need to invoke the Fairness Doctrine and talk about the Law of Repulsion.  I am its foremost advocate and expert, having invented it myself.  In summary, I posit that being an asshole to people will result in them being repulsed by you and you subsequently having an empty and unfulfilling life.  This result holds no matter what the arrangement of the planets is or what sorts of cosmic vibrations are zooming through space.

[hellbilly]

Tell me more about this LoR. It's not that I'm desperately in search of something exotic to believe in, or to create yet something else that can serve as a distraction and a source of blame when things go awry.. I'm just practicing my open mindedness.

[freeAgent]

You can increase your chances of success by practicing what I call "filthiness".  This entails not washing yourself or your clothing for months at a time.  When you have achieved this level of repulsion you will have the ability to repulse others without making any effort beyond being in their vicinity.  This works to increase your sense of self-worthlessness because you realize that you have achieved a level of repulsion that simply cannot be resisted without putting forth any effort.
