It’s no Secret, the Theory of Directed Effort

Personally, I don’t know if the universe has a consciousness, but if it does I’m sure it would answer requests yes, no or maybe like any other conscious entity. It might even depend on how it was feeling on the day you asked it.

There was a news story I read long ago of a man who was riding his bike in Colorado on a bright sunny day when he was suddenly struck down by lightning. The nearest storm was ten miles away when this happened. While it is true that the lightning was attracted to him for some unknown reason, I doubt very much it was because he was thinking about being hit by lightning. Unfortunately he died, so we can’t say for sure, but even if he was I would guess that there was a more scientific explanation to the event. I certainly don’t think he wished it upon himself and I don’t believe he was in control of the circumstances. He simply had wanted to go on a bike ride on a nice sunny day, was enjoying himself and then was suddenly struck down.

These adherents might say he had thought about getting hit by lightning in the past, or perhaps he was focused on it, but that wouldn’t explain all the people who go through their entire lives without getting hit by lightning, the vast majority of us. Most of us have likely thought about getting hit by lightning and even focused on it at some time. I know I have. Usually when this happens I make every effort to get off the golf course as soon as possible. The likelihood that I will get hit by lightning is slightly higher than the average person’s because I play golf, but not so much higher that I will curtail that activity. So, if I live to be 150 and don’t ever get hit by lightning, how does the law of attraction explain that? I’m not certain it can.

But enough
