No offense but wouldn’t that be kinda boring (say doing nothing for 10 years)? Maybe you also mean to do other things but didn’t mention.

If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time?

If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time? - Lemmy.World

Imagine all your basic needs are covered: housing, food, healthcare, and so on. You don’t need to work for a living anymore. What would you do with your time? I know this might sound like a bit of a dreamy question, but it’s been on my mind lately, especially as I see so many people working tirelessly day and night. Perhaps it’s time for us to slow down and reflect on what truly matters. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

I see, I think describing the whole universe as a god in a symbolic way can make sense.

Anyway, the trouble starts when people go beyond symbolism and start asking for help, making wishes, and sometimes blaming this “deity” for undesirable events. Relying on an entity whose existence remains uncertain, let alone he/she cares about you, is like gamble, which sounds unsettling.

I totally agree with you! I think it works but not in the way people think it is.

It can be frustrating when authors and others attempt to market the concept as scientifically grounded, kinda like a cult at times.

I feel bad for people who persist in the wrong direction and repeatedly fail to achieve their goals. It’s even worse when, after all that, they blame themselves for “not communicating well with the universe”.

Thank you for pointing this out! Now I see why people keep downvoting. Imagine listening to a dude talking like that about gravity 😂

At least it’s good to know that most of us haven’t heard of the “Law of Attraction” I was talking about.

I didn’t think this would get this much downvotes. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough, leading to people misunderstand my post and think that I was trying to prove law of attraction is true.
A combination of rituals, beliefs, and one or several faith-based divine figure. That’s my take on religion, I’m an atheist, btw.
Yeah… I tried to not mention Christian explicitly 😂

religion is about shifting the blame to someone else

I agree, in this case, the Law of Attraction blames the believers, but somehow people fail to see this and instead think they deserve the misfortune because they haven’t ‘put in enough energy’.

Law of Attraction is just a modern-day religion

Law of Attraction is just a modern-day religion - Lemmy.World

The universe kinda becomes like a god. All that energy and vibe stuff is like a way of praying. It’s all about faith, not really backed by evidence. It’s like how I see thunder, so there must be a god of thunder. In this case, seeing vibration and energy (like in String Theory, which still hasn’t been proven) makes me think there’s gotta be some deeper meaning and that it can make my wishes come true. And of course, there are people out there selling books, spreading fake news, and posing as manifesting professors just to cash in on others’ ignorance. But hey, for a lot of people, it’s just a way to find hope and relax a bit through positive thinking, focusing on their goals and planning things out. So I’m not trying to bash “believers”, just sharing a shower thought.
