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.

          I think OP was explaining, how the law of attraction is basically religion where you replace god with the universe. With the same level of faith required, aka all, same level of proof provided, aka none.

              Yeah that’s kinda the point of calling it a “law”, to piggyback on the traditional terminology to give it more credibility than it should.
