I used them for years until I figured out they don't work. :D

Here is another way of putting it....

Once, I played for a traveling reggae band. The message of the band was love. The music had a "love vibe". All of the lyrics were positive. I knew we would be successful, especially judging by all of the hippies on the dance floor having a good time.

What killed that band?

Ironically, love did. A couple male band members fell in love with the lady band member. She made her choice. The male who was not chosen left the band out of heartbreak. He was the main component of the band and could not be replaced. Soon, other band members followed suit.

That being said, GWAR is a band of pure hatred toward mankind. All of their music has a negative mantra. Yet, they enjoy success and have done so for more than 3 decades.

I have an infinite number of examples from my personal life I would be more than happy to share, of course. I gave up the hippie religions of "Law of Attraction", "Putting out a good energy", "What you put out into the Universe comes back", "prayer" and all of the rest a couple years ago. My life remains unchanged from said decision. The only difference? I feel less stupid when things don't go my way.

I am on mission to put an end to these religious notions. I am sure the starving people in the world starve because they don't "pray" or put out a daily, positive mantra on the daily. I am sure the innocent civilians all across the Earth that America has blown to bits had that happen to them because of some mind-set issue. They were probably walking around, looking for a good place to buy a loaf of bread and probably thinking, "bread" when our bombs landed in front of them. Yeah, it is clearly their attitude and the energy they put out into the Universe.
