I wish you had not included the law of attraction, which is not a law at all and is at best a generalization, into this otherwise excellent article. Manifestation works sometimes, and other times doesn't, particularly if what people want is not what they need.

I have a big issue with notion of the law of attraction, which its diehard believers then use to blame people for emanating negative energy as the reason for bad things happening to good people. It's just as bad as the false notion of original sin that christians use to explain how a benevolent god can allow bad things to happen to good people.

We can't agree all the time my friend.
