The law of attraction may be on a downward spiral - as our consciousness expands. We see more clearly now and need less projection (i.e. that which you attract whether you want it or not, for adventure or healing), and we should learn to create outward-going impulses in future.
Besides, we might do better to focus on who is doing the attracting (temporal, little self or eternal Higher self). Sometimes the spirit self needs to attract negative situations so that you can learn/experience more. The best thing to do then is not to resist this process and let it play out. In that sense, you may have less control over your life than the Law of Attraction community would like to think.
For more check out (the controversial and sometimes dubious) Teal Swan, who seems to hit the nail on the head for this topic, if you ask me.
Now, I am interested in watching both of Eckhart Tolle and Teal Swan
Most of the messages in oriental philosophy should try to find a true self, and in the present age, they are living in the present age by the karma of past life caused by causation. In the end, it is a message that the world can not be changed, and that in that situation, so we must accept life as it is.
New age ideology seems to have the premise that every situation can be changed if you try, which can be based on quantum physics.
I am just trying to meditate now and to read many meditation books.
