Aye, while I had never heard of it with that name before, I tend to think that I've experienced it often enough that, even if I was a complete skeptic, I would be forced to admit that it is likely true. After all, if lightning strikes the same spot 5000 times in a row, and the only conceivable explanation was a theory previously considered incredibly unlikely or even downright ridiculous, well... even the most scientific of minds would have to concede to it.
In my case, I've experienced this so many times that it'd be both illogical and bloody stupid for me to try to rail against the idea. As it is, despite never having heard of the "law of attraction", the sheer number of times it's happened has led my own thought process to eventually come up with pretty much that idea on my own, because no other outcome could be found from that logic train.
As it is, it seems to often manifest from me due to sheer obsession. Incredibly obsessive desire turns into incredibly obsessive need, and that eventually becomes incredibly obsessive belief. An absolute, unshakable sureness that I *will* get what I'm after... simple as that. As a rule, it tends to then happen.
A good example is the gaming I do. I got good at fighting games in particular. Really good. Good to the point of it starting to get a bit absurd. Ever stronger and ever faster. It eventually reached the point where I could utterly demolish even the best tournament players. In most cases, it wasnt even a "fight"... it was a massacre. They had no chance.
This was driven by quite possibly the strongest obsession I've ever had. I wont explain the specific target of that obsession. But it was... is... strong. Strong enough to be a life-changing sort of thing. Yes that sounds silly in conjunction with "gaming", but just roll with it. It changed and distorted everything for me.
When it comes to the gaming aspect that it connects to though, it had a couple of very unusual effects.
As I said, I got good. To the point of being nigh-invincible. Yes I know how freaking braggy it sounds, but I dont care... it's the truth, and I was able to prove it so many freaking times. But here's the first thing that makes it bizarre: generally, for those that get seriously skilled at games like that, they dont reach it by simply facing off against many opponents. That's not enough. Just as sports players cannot master their particular sport merely by being on a team and going up against other teams at pre-determined times. Instead, training must occur. Intense training. And practice. Thousands of hours, as a rule. It never ends, really. But here's the thing: I dont train, I dont practice. Ever. Because it's not a function of that obsession (also I have a very low attention span). Yet still, that skill started to manifest. And the stronger and faster I got, the easier it was to become even more strong.
2nd weird aspect: I'm 38. According to all logic, I should have slowed down by now. In terms of aspects relating to speed, I mean. Reaction and mental processing speed. According to many, that's how it works. Thing is, I'm dramatically faster now than I was at 18. And dramatically faster than pretty much every opponent I ever met. That shouldnt be, yet it is. Being stupidly fast is pretty much THE thing I'm known for (well, that and impatience), and it hasnt lessened with age... it increased instead. And yes, I realize that most wouldnt believe any of this when I say it. Frankly I dont particularly care. It's easy enough to prove, in any case (not that I can really do so on a bloody forum).
And all of it was connected to a sheer, unshakeable SURENESS that I would achieve these things. The more they increased, the more conviction I have. And that sureness was created through absolute obsession. My subconscious certainly understands THAT, definitely.
That's just my own personal example that I think is easiest enough to describe. It's far from the only one. As I said, lightning struck like 5000 times.
There that's enough of my random rambling.
