Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
LOL! I am so flippin' excited that I just had to let u know that the law of attraction really does work, even in the most smallest of ways. here is my example: well i have been a little down on my luck lately between having some troubles with SM w/all the updates and trying to put my eggs in more baskets and trying to make myself a better camgirl and so on but despite all that i have been keeping my head up and keeping a positive outlook on my life. but to get to my point, i re-did my whole camming setup (thnx to some fabulous ladies here for helping me :)) and i kept thinking for a while now how fucking awesomely nice it would be to work w/an external keyboard for my setup so that I don't have to keep reaching all the way forward just to touch the keyboardon my laptop. I was going for a walk this morning. I happen to walk by this house that had a box in front the fence that said "free" wrote on it so i started to dig through the box and low and behold i found an EXTERNAL KEYBOARD w/2 mouse clickers too! the keyboard is a dell and is in excellent condition. it isn't a wireless but it has a usb plug in and it works fucking perfectly! the mouse clickers don't seem to work the best tho but the keyboard wokring is more important anyways. but this little find makes my job as a camgirl a thousand times easier and saves me money. even tho my circumstances are alot better off than some girls it just goes to show you that the universe comes back to you what you give in to it. here is the camgirl law of attraction thread http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...law+attraction every camgirl should read this and take what they need from it.

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
I am a HUGE believer in the Law of Attraction. I have applied it to my life for the last 1 1/2 years and I have experienced way more positive in my life than negative.

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
I'm a firm believer too!! I have had such good things happen to me when I apply this or any type of positive magic!!!
-
Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
Um, yeah.
I respectfully disagree on the 'Law of Attraction' thing.
That is all I am going to say about that. Trust me, you don't want me to get started.

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
that's fine but i do and it works for me, not everyone HAS to agree :)
my testimonial is here for anyone who is open to it.

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
It sounds to me like you experienced a very wonderful coincidence. :) I'm not a believer in karma, or anything that promises the world will work in my favour just because I am happier. For example, no amount of idle happiness or positive thinking is going to magic the encoder into flawless functioning - unless of course I actually put my effort into repairing it in some way. That is an instance that positive thinking CAN help, but purely because that positivity could put some strength into me feeling motivated enough to actually undertake that task.
I have something of a moral issue with a philosophy that says "you get back from the universe what you put in" - we live in a world where terrible things happen to good, good people. We live in a world where a sweet, lovely person can do good their entire lives, only to be killed by some terrible natural disaster, taken by some horrible illness, or heartlessly murdered. I don't mean to bring anyone down. If anything, I believe with all of my heart that each and every one of us should be thankful for what we have. :) We are all incredibly fortunate to be alive.

i totally understand ur side of things and i can see where u are coming from with that. i personally am a spiritual person so the whole idea of 'coincidences' just doesn't make sense to me in a spiritual way. i am NOT one to tell u or anyone for that matter what to believe in. however, i will say that everyone goes through shit, that's life! how you choose to deal with it, live it, believe is up to you as an individual.... but positivity is ALWAYS a great thing and if you can achieve a positive state of mind and a certain peace within urself and then it will make you a much more happier fullfilled person overall. i think we can agree with that?

As long as we don't have to agree that positive state of mind = the secret.

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
When we create something into being we are working in the realm of energy rather than thought (contrary to popular spirituality), this manifestation is the same as spellwork/witchcraft, creative visualisation...just a different name. There are universal laws that apply though and we are restricted by our own person karma in this life time...we can't just think and get, and we can't have it all. Sometimes were are simply being psychic and knowing what will come rather than creating it ourselves.
Some wise words I've captured from Steve Gunn:
The law of attraction says that like attracts like. But in the universe everything is dual all the time, and so if you have a silver lining you also have a cloud they are inescapably part of the same thing you can't "attract" one of them.
The law of mutuality and reciprocity states that when we create an energy, be it calm, anger or whatever, it will interact with both the same and the opposite, and always both never just the one. So the peace that you create will always have people and situations that support it as well as, the opposite forces present to challenge it.. Most people find that life bears that out in easily observable forms this duality is also fundamental to the laws of karma and balance.. We didn't "attract" these things they are inescapable interactions and we can't just choose the one element. In some cases it may seem all reward and no challenge but usually you don't have to wait too long to see the balance.
The universe doesn't use thought because she has no brain, thoughts are just concepts and of the physical - she ( the universe ) interacts with energies which are not thoughts or concepts and not of the physical.. thats why we use energy work and meditation which take us as far away from thought as we can be.. and its been like that for thousands of years
It really is just a social phenomenon that refuses to go away because it feeds ego and need and validation and that's exactly what it was designed to do as a very clever sell. Ask yourself how many other metaphysical or spiritual teachings came from a journalist and started with a huge budget multi media teaser campaign ????

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
I'm definitely not a follower of this philosophy, but I don't think a system that reinforces that how we think has an effect upon what we experience is harmful. In psychology it's called self-efficacy, the belief that our thoughts and actions have an impact upon our lives. A feeling that we have an agency within our own lives is incredibly empowering.
When I read your OP, I see it as the wicked surprise that you encountered came from what you thought as well as what you did with those thoughts...thinking about your business, how to improve it, and undertaking an action to improve the ease and quality of your work. Were you not thinking about what you could do to improve your $$$$ and acting upon those thoughts, finding that keyboard would have been meaningless. Your actions were as important as what you were thinking.
I think what we do with our thought processes is an integral element of whatever outcomes we experience. I also think that a philosophy like the Law of Attraction probably appears more successful in areas of the world where access to resources is more widespread. If thinking positively (and acting upon those thoughts) is to have an impact, we need access to resources (and people with resources) that will enable us to realize our goals. That's easier to accomplish in middle-income North America than it is in, say, a geographic zone where finding access to potable water is the highest priority of the day. Even in North America, all the positive thought in the world won't help if one can't work because they can't find a job that pays enough to cover daycare expenses and the rent. In that sense, I'd argue it's important to recognize that the Law of Attraction is a philosophy of privilege.
As long as we of relative privilege recognize that the world's problems, particularly systemic challenges, won't be solved by thought alone, then I don't think pop-psych philosophies like the one cited here are problematic. If the philosophy encourages people to think positively, then great. All I'm saying is that what we choose to do with those thoughts is equally important.
I've always been impressed with the way you approach camming BGB, being as objective as possible, which is kinda hard to do cuz I think you're a thoroughly wicked chica for a whole bunch of reasons. If the Law of Attraction makes you feel like you're getting closer to where you want to be, then awesome. As you achieve new goals give your work ethic and ability to think strategically some of the credit as well though:) Congrats on the surprise keyboard:)
peace and $$$$$$$$ :goodvibes

'Universal law' applies to law and ethics in philosophy. Law and ethics differ depending who you ask.
As a side note, The 'Law of Attraction' is also NOT based on science, just sayin'
Now, if we are going to talk 'the placebo effect'. I am all over it! ;)
If a way of thinking works for you and helps you get the $$$, get on with your bad self! I am completely behind you 100%. If you tell me that you underwear is lucky, then boo-yah! But 'The Secret' and 'The Law of Attraction' drives me batty when people say it works. Yes it may work for you, but sorry it is my own personal pet peeve with a system that at the core says that 'bad things only happen to people who think badly' mentality.

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
Yeah, the Law of Attraction is an attempt to put some spiritual definition on something that's really just a natural way of thinking. Don't stress, be positive. When you act like that, two things happen. First, people react to you better and in our industry that's always good. And the other is that you notice opportunities you wouldn't have before. If you weren't open to possibilities, you would have likely passed up that FREE sign without looking any further.
Having said that, I seem to have a Law of Repulsion instead. Whenever I'm on cam and starting to think 'it's been a while since pvt, things are dead and I'm getting bored', that's when I suddenly get a 10+ min exclusive :D

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
Way to go, BGB. I, too, sunscribe to the Law of Attraction hype. I'm kind of mystic is nature so it's right up my alley!

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
Part of it is that every thought and feeling gives off an energy and every energy has a vibrational frequency and every vibration attracts alike vibrations.
I dunno... I dont really 'use' it.... I actually really dont get it when ppl say they USE the law of attraction.. to me its not really something you can just use. As much as I try to change my thoughts to be constantly positive, its pretty hard to change your emotions.. I dont think its even close to being so easy as to just think it and its yours, like so many people seem to say about the law of attraction... or that "'today' I tried using the law of attraction and it worked!"
To me, I do believe there is some science to it, but I also believe there is so much more than just KNOW you're gonna receive something positive and you will. To me being positive and optimistic should be a way of life no matter what and I always want to look on the bright side. That doesnt mean nothing bad will ever come to me, but having an optimistic outlook on everything you do and everything that happens to you.... its rubs off and ppl see that. People will recognize it and be friendly and happy in return.
And you train your brain to notice the good times more than the bad. Just like how most people can hear 10 compliments and 1 insult and the one that they remember is the insult. But if you start focusing on the positive more, you stop noticing the bad all the time and pay more attention to the good. Next you know.. you're still getting the same amount of bad shit as you were before, but you dont notice it because you're too focused not letting it bother you instead.
-
Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
Vibrations interact with both the same and the opposite...like doesn't only attract like...in the universe everything is dual all the time, and so if you have a silver lining you also have a cloud they are inescapably part of the same thing you can't "attract" one of them.
I also find that when I think "God, today was TERRIBLE!" that I suddenly get a couple of big payers...
When we think positively we are more likely to take positive steps and have a positive effect on others, that's what makes the difference rather than attracting something.
-
Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
Well Im atheist anyways. The law of attraction to me has nothing to do with karma or God. And I do believe that you can attract similar feelings as you send out .. be it as just because you're happier so you have more determination in life which would bring in more positive situations, or that people notice your positivity and are nice to you in return, or your brain is trained to notice the positive more often now, or if theres a science that positivity does really respond to positive vibrations you send off.
Either way.. positivity does gain you more in life. Im not a strong believer in the science behind this, but Im not a strong believer in anything.. Nothing surprises me in the world. Its a crazy universe and theres still sooo much we still dont know.

Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
I haaaaate the premise of the Law of Attraction, but of course positive thinking can have beneficial results. Pretty sure psychological studies support that positive thinking=better performance. But the question is to what extent your personal performance can effect the world around you.
The reason things like The Secret piss me off though, is because they ignore socioeconomic factors, historical factors, numerous other factors, chance, and you know...basic laws of science. Lulz.
-
Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
Yeah it works when you don't consciously think about it. But rather when you intuitively believe it and then stop thinking about it completely. The root of the problem lies in the fact that you have to actually believe it and not focus on it. Which... long story short, just happens and you can't force it or it counteracts what you're trying to do. Oh, quantum mechanics. So simple yet so complex.
-
Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
Definetly..
Well... I think this whole 'positive attraction' gets screwed too because I see all the time people taking a normal coincidence and turning it into "well I was being positive that day so it came to me" or "I used the laws of attraction that day and it worked!"
Shit like that annoys me cuz nothing comes that easy...
-
Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
The thing is to work on the energetic level not the mental...so it's not about thought but deep inner intention, but be aware that with every silver lining comes a cloud...duality in all things. Even if we get what we want there will be some challenge or downside to it, that's balanced.
The Law of Attraction isn't a real law, it's hugely flawed but is based on some truth...what is behind it is a huge money making campaign that has tapped into people's needs...those that want to believe it's true, that we can just have a thought and hey presto we have it all.
If we go around thinking only positively and convincing ourselves through thought that we are happy, something will come and bite us in the arse to remind us that the Universe just doesn't work that way.
-
Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
The belief in God is hugely flawed too.. more so than the belief in the law of attraction...
Anyways... not very sure why you are commenting negatively on a post about positivity... ofcourse everyone is welcome to their own opinion, but I guess I wouldnt do that cuz thats just part of my belief in being positive....
-
Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
Oh I'm meaning to come across as negative...and I'm not being negative, just objective. If things are working well for folks I'm more than happy for them!
-
Re: Camgirls! The law of attraction really does work!
yeah thats no problem.. just dont know why you'd bother to waste your time...
