Law of Attraction

[Rillion]

Damn it people, all your focus on Sam is being misinterpreted by the universe as "WANT SAM".  If you're not careful, he'll soon replace Mark!

The universe doesn't sound very bright, then.  I can't imagine why a person would be a pantheist if they thought the universe was as stupid as that.

I LOL'D.

Come on guys, you're all being defeatist about it so nothing will ever happen.  We all need to just think really hard about Sam either leaving the show or giving up on LoA.  If we want it bad enough and think about it long enough, it will happen.  The universe can't help but respond to our wishes.

All this talk about LoA is making me want to start playing Legends of Aranna again.

Recently my dog had it's head stuck in a beaver trap and almost bit my finger off when i was taking her out of it.   The universe misunderstood my love for my dog and my finger as hatred and said "yes" I'll remove them for you.  Problem was the universe didn't finish the job b/c the E.R. was able to sew my finger back on and I was able to resuscitate my 'believed to be dead' dog.  The universe must have realized it made a mistake when my wife was hysterical and therefore changed the outcome (several hands controlling the remote?).  Anyway, I was looking at the bright side of things when the doctor said I might lose the finger if it got infected...I would then be an amputee:)  I was going to go on a mission to all faith based salesmen and see what they could do about regrowing my finger.  Oh well.  Maybe next time I'll lose a limb, as a matter of fact I'll experiment, rest assure I'll keep everyone posted as to the outcome.


Dear Mr. or Mrs. Universe, will you please remove my left leg so that I can ask you for it back?
Doubtfully yours,
Subject

p.s. When i say left leg, I mean left from my perspective looking out, not you the universe looking in.  I really don't want you misinterpreting this one.

p.s.s. Do I have to actively seek out my desires with action?  Do I have to start juggling chainsaws with my legs or something to get my wish?  Please write the answer via a painful stigmata on my right leg.

The LOA stuff sounds exactly what the Christian Science people told me.
They said a classmate could get the half of his finger back that he lost to cancer, if only he prayed for it through their church.


LOA = Christian Science Church
(not to be confused with Scientology)
Neither has anything to do with science.

Here's a funny clip of Ian (defending?) law of attraction and pantheism.

LoA is stupid. Maybe, someday, Ian will come back around, but there's absolutely no hope for Mark. Well, actually, Mark has come a long way from his initial dumb Republicanism. So, maybe there's more hope for Ian than Mark on this score. Wow, that's sad.

What's real funny is that Ian poo-poos Landmark, but ends up actually saying the same kind of nonsense they do when he talks LoA. Plus, there's actually Landmark language in one of the live reads now - no doubt written by Mark.

The big connection I see is that concepts like LoA, Pantheism, and the whole Landmark thing seem to be curricula for people looking for something to believe.

I've really got to show my ignorance and ask, "what does landmark mean?" Im looking for a definition other than the old theatre in Richmond, Va or the the way I prefer my directions?

[Dylboz]

The Landmark Forum. Or est. An offshoot of $cientology. And where there's L. Ron, there's a stinking pile of money grubbing bullshit.

[FTL_Mark]

An offshoot of $cientology.

This is an misleading smear. Werner Erhart adopt a couple of group exercises from Scientology for his seminars in EST. Neither of which is used in the Landmark Forum.

And where there's L. Ron, there's a stinking pile of money grubbing bullshit.

This is just the truth.
