The Law of Attraction Hurts by a) Being Stupid Beyond Belief, and b) by Denying the Truth
It hurts! It hurts! The Law of Attraction is such a load of crap it HURTS to listen to it. "Like vibrations attract each other like magnets attract iron filings." ??? What if money was aluminum? or paper? What if my good fortune is someone else's loss? The whole thing is just so silly, so stupid I cannot listen to it.
Imagination, on the other hand, has a divine Source who is imagining everything that is. Imagination has the Holy Scriptures behind it. The scriptures are about us--imagination--from beginning to end. Imagining we can do. Try vibrating yourself better. Go on, shake yourself! Feel wealthier? healthier?
There is One who is imagining not the universe, but all the imagining in the universe. THAT is a big job. The "Big Guy" is real big! And the Law of Attraction was constructed to deny Him of whom the scriptures are about--you. You are the Big Guy.
I think most people do not know this: the scriptures we have are not the scriptures that were. They were edited long before the time of Jesus--says the Massorah of the Hebrew scriptures itself. (The Massorah is the Jews' own record on the scrolls themselves of the changes they have made.) Using The Companion Bible as my study Bible, I have become quite familiar with the Jewish process of de-anthropomorphizing their scriptures. If the text in any way suggested a corporal body or human features for God, they changed the words. So when it said that YHWH still PHYSICALLY stood before Abraham, they changed it to Abraham still stood before YHWH, thus avoiding the consequence that YHWH had to have had a corporal body to stand there.
Here are The Companion Bibles' Appendixes concerning this editing by the Sopherim (actually, I prefer those of The Rain, below):

Most referenced verses have more detailed notes in their adjacent margin.
I think this principle may have first been applied to Exodus 3: 14, the "I AM THAT I AM" verse. In the Hebrew text, it says "I am that I am," just like that--first personal pronoun to first personal pronoun. Literally: I become that which I become. But the ancient Aramaic text has first personal pronoun, "I become," to THIRD personal pronoun, "He becomes." How did the ancient Aramaic get THAT? Obviously, that was the way the verse originally read before the Sopherim changed it to avoid the anthropomorphism: God becomes "Him."
Him who? I think the answer may be hid in the middle word, Asher in the Hebrew, Ashur in the Aramaic. Asher means "that, which" and the like. Ashur is the ancient Creator God of the Ashurites, whose language the Bible was originally written in (ancient "Hebrew" was ancient Aramaic). You can get a fuller idea of what Ashur means from Victor Alexander's notes on Exodus 3: 14 (http://www.v-a.com/bible/supporters/exodus_1-4.html), which reads:
"*3:14 Lit. Aramaic: (1) "Ahiyeh": "the One Who Comes in His Coming," the absolute sense of "the One Who Comes." (2) "Ashur": "the Beginning Spark that kindles the Fire" or "the Light." (3) "Hiyeh": "His Coming." (4) "Ahiyeh" and "hiyeh" are related forms of the same word. They mean more than "the Coming." They signify also the "Eternal Presence," "the Ever-Present," and the "Never Ceasing Intent of the Comer to Come." (5) In the same way, "Ashur" signifies "the Uncreated Creator who Creates Everything from Nothing." (6) Also, "Ashur" signifies: "Above-the-Flames."
What uncreated Creator creates everything from nothing? The Milta, the Manifestation--the Imagining of the Ineffable. I read the verse (Exodus 3: 14) "By Imagining I become His becoming." Okay, His who?
You, and the world that you have become. "He" is the Manifestation of the Ineffable's imagining--verily the Ineffable Itself.
"Whoa!" shouted the Sopherim when they realized what they had. "We are Him? That can't be. I mean, we can't tell the people that. They won't keep paying us if they learn that they are God creating their own worlds by imagining. Dang--quick, man--change that 'I am you' to 'I am Me.' 'I am you' will never do!"
The Law of attraction denies the Manifestation of the Ineffable. "No, no, no, 'He' isn't orchestrating the world by our imagining; we are orchestrating the world by how fast we shake. Shaking fast is good; shaking slow is bad. Come on, everybody, let's shake!"
What a load of crap. Pure, unmitigated crap. Its whole design is so that "When it works," you DON'T find Him--God, who has become you.
