Author Topic: Isn't free will just another limiting belief? (Read 850 times)

So many people say that you can't attract an ex, or a specific person because that violates free will. Doesn't it seem funny that people are putting 'rules' on something like the Law of Attraction? With the Law of Attraction we're told not to limit ourselves, how we need to get rid of out limiting beliefs and how much it can affect us. I just think it's silly that despite that so many people enforce this limiting belief on LOA.

How many of us drove our exes away? We got insecure, we thought of them leaving us, not wanting us anymore, and it happened. Of course everyone will agree, according to the Law of Attraction, you drove them away. A lot of the same people will turn around and tell you can't attract them back because that's against free will. But if you drove them away, isn't that technically influencing their free will? If you can influence someone to go, why can't you influence them to come back?

When I was with my ex, I worried so much, I believed he'd do certain things that I didn't want to happen, I really believed that it'd happen. And you know what? Everything I worried about happened. Every, single, thing. Now, in my mind, if we couldn't effect anyone's free will whatsoever, my worries would have never manifested.

When it comes to the free will debate, the answer is, whatever you believe.

I like the way you think Blore!

When I first searched for ways to attract someone with the Law of Attraction, I always thought that was a bit odd that that was the one thing you couldn't try to attract. I mean, I would think attracting 20/20 vision or different colored eyes would be harder.

I couldn't agree more with both of you as I know it was me that attracted the end of my relationship by my thoughts and actions.
So why can i not turn it around and change my attitude and change my life?
And attract my love back the same way.

I think it's so easy for us to accept the negative as natural, and the positive as manifesting. I think it works both ways, I think if you think about how he's not going to call you, how he hasn't called you. He's not going to call you. And you manifested that.

I think so many of us don't give our powers enough credit.

I read this quote, might have actually be on here. "The man who says he can and the man who says he can't are both usually right."

One cant really start understanding and experiencing what being the creator of your reality truly is until you accept 100% that EVERYTHING is vibration FIRST and that you have the complete control over your feelings and the power to think on purpose.

I mean sure there are some that believe you can or cant attract somethings but other things are taboo to think that its due to the LOA. And thats fine, whatever works for people. Im all for people doing what they want, but in my personal experience I had to go all in or not at all. To me its more simple and easier and more logical to follow such concepts as law of attraction and vibration.

Blore, spot on! This is exactly what I did as well. I manifested all my fears.Every single one of them and then I drove him away.

Now you are right, why not think positive and attract them back. Its just like we did with our fears, constantly thinking and worrying about them actually made them come real. So if i think that he will come back and we will be together, that is what will happen. I know it in my heart.

Just small moments of weakness sometimes happen and put me in a little panic. But after discovering LOA i have truly come to believe that anything is possible. Its just how much we believe in it and how much we truly understand that our thoughts become our reality. I have started to let go of the desperation and just let the desire of having him set in. The more desperate one becomes the harder it is to manifest.
Letting go and believing in what you want is the best way to get the love of your life back.

Count me in as the one whose negative thoughts attracted negative events and situations in my life

When the movie The Secret landed in my hands, I can feel that hairs on my neck raised up, knowing that it is me who created even those things that I don't want! Now that I am taking responsibility of my thoughts, of my actions and my life, everything is getting easier and happier for me

When we believe, less of those unwanted beliefs and thoughts, it is most likely, we are given more and more reasons to be surprised and happy

Well said, and just what I needed to hear =) I keep having doubts about the "rules" of the Universe, and you're totally right. They are just limiting thoughts. Thank you so much for sharing your insight!

I would agree with everyone and I also feel confused or perplexed that they say we can use the Law of Attraction to get rid of negative things but we can't use it to attract a very specific reality like a person.

I suppose that what we could do is we could imagine the person that we want in our life, all the qualities that they have and feel into and believe and expect a relationship like that to happen.

Then if we really truly want what it is that we are imagining, it might not matter to us if it comes to us in another form and not in the one person that we're believing has to fit that.

I don't know... What do you think?

Blore just opened my eyes to something I should've seen more than a year ago!!!
It was me all along! Me and my fear of:

my not being appropriate for him
his cheating on me with a particular person
his dumping me
his dissing me in a rude manner

And guess what? He dumped be, after having cheated on me with that particular person, and then claimed that I'm "unappropriate". And he totally flooded my world with hatred.

Oh my! Never knew I was such a great and amazing mind manipulator, since I practically COMMANDED him to do that... throughout my stupid insecurity, which I had tried so hard to hide.

Never mind that. Certain things happened after that, demonstrating and proving that he LOVES me.

So, in the same way I created a monster, I can restore him back to the guy that loves me.

Just my two cents in this topic, i think free will is a big part of LOA. Here is a example from a few weeks ago.

I was trying to manifest a night with my ex, she would come over and watch a movie at my apartment. I had the entire event in my mind, and i did this for weeks on end.

She called me last week, and said lets watch a movie together. She said i can come there or you can come here, but due to a change in what i wanted i decided to go there instead. So i went there, and she was wearing the same thing i had in my mind the entire time, but i was able to alter what i wanted before it fully happened.

I think LOA provides us with the opportunity, but we have the ability to change events depending on our current situation.
