D2C, I think the LOA is working. It's just that because you're thinking (consciously or unconsciously) of what you don't want, that's what you're getting.

Years ago, long before learning of Paul Scheele (and maybe before he even put out his wonderful recordings), I used to use some tapes from Bob Griswold. I'd forgotten about them until I was cleaning out one of my closets, and came across a box of them, probably circa 1980-something.

One of them was about positive thinking, which was all the rage back then, but is largely forgotten or overlooked in most of today's programs--as a standalone program, I mean.

Well, I pulled out my trusty old tape player, and gave it a listen, just out of curiosity. Yes, it is old fashioned, no fancy paraliminal or other sound enhancements, just straight hypnosis without all the bells and whistles. And the actual script might seem fairly hokey by today's standards, but despite all that--it's very effective. I've been using that tape for several weeks, and I really and truly love it. My attitude is improving and so is almost everything else. Everyone asks me what I'm doing. I tell them I took a walk back in time.

I did an internet search, and the place is still in business (Effective Learning Systems), and they still have that tape plus it's also on CD now. (Since I don't like tapes or tape players much, I might go ahead and order one.)

In my personal opinion, nothing is going to make the promise of The Secret come true until we conquer that old negative thinking dragon. Although Learning Strategies embeds a few of those suggestions in most of their programs, I think what's needed is a program totally devoted to this. At least, that's what I think =I= needed, and maybe others do, too--maybe you as well?
