There is a great danger present in manifesting or practicing the Law of Attraction. The danger is in attributing the results--when it works--to oneself or to some idol, and not recognizing nor attributing the response expected or received to God. In short, THERE ISN'T ANY MAGIC. The universe does not hear nor fulfill your demands. Nothing is going to roll down the street to your magnetic vibrations. What happens is orchestrations of the invisible Consciousness of the Ineffable Being we call "God." For the pre-God Stuff, the No-thing, EVIDENCES HIMSELF BY RESPONDING TO OUR BELIEF. He creates by us. "You imagined this. Here. See its manifestation? This response is my proof of my being here, of my being alive, of my being aware of you, of my hearing you, of my loving you, and of my power. Now that you see sure evidence of me, come unto me and learn of me."
And you're not going to go? Miracles are God's "How do you do? I AM here, and I love you." When we hear Him, when we see Him BY THESE RESPONSES, we are responsible and accountable to GO to Him, to surrender to Him, and to submit our lives--his life, really--to Him. If we don't, rejecting the WELL EVIDENCED sovereign God of the universe who is in and with us won't end prettily. What we reject goes away, and his going away at the end of our lives can be catastrophic. For God, despite all His gentle persuasion, is playing hardball. THIS STUFF IS REAL! It might not be like we imagine it, but it is real nevertheless.
Have you ever looked at what sin is? Adam and Eve were told not to try to control their lives themselves. "Life" is God's control of our lives. Don't you be eating that! But Eve wanted to be in control, in charge, independent, directing her own life. When you manifest or practice the Law of Attraction, YOU DO IT YOURSELF, FOR YOURSELF. "I'll direct my own life, thank you."
Neville Goddard attributed his success in manifestation to proper appeal in GOD'S imagination and complete submission to His, i.e., GOD'S, getting it done. He knew this is GOD'S Life, and other than imagining what he wanted, he stayed out of it.
"They then went out, and preached every place, and Maryah helped them and began filling them with signs that they performed" (Mark 16:20 Alexander).
Who filled the Apostles with signs (miracles)? Maryah, God. It is Maryah who fills us with signs; we only perform them. HE is the power. Yes, He is in us, and yes, He is us, but He is the bigger half, and we aren't anything but what He makes us. Be a grateful whatever He makes you. Make your petition known, then give Maryah honor, reverence, respect, and love. And ATTRIBUTION!

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matthew 7:22-23 KJV).
What is iniquity? Doing things just for yourself and yours. We are to be doing what God wants, working for Him. Our purpose for living is not to fulfill OUR purpose, but His. His purpose is manifesting Himself, His love through us, building the Milta. Yes, we can manifest, but FOR HIM. Think the best of others, for others. Think lovingly, pray for our government, manifest food for the hungry, health for the infirm, wealth for the poor. Preach, vibrate up a storm, and let God confirm the truth of what you say . . . for THEM.
We are to be CHANNELS of spiritual power (Frank C. Laubach).
