Is the Law of Attraction for real?

The Law of Attraction: states that whatever energy you put out into the Universe attracts other energy of equal or harmonious resonance or vibration.
It’s like you have a radio transmitter broadcasting your thoughts in the form of energy waves out into the Universe. As they move about (energy can neither be created or destroyed) they attract other bits of energy to them that resonate with the rate of vibration at which they travel. Put simply, you get what you ask for. The problem arises, however, when your subconscious speaks so loud that it drowns out your conscious thoughts. “I have one million dollars” as a positive affirmation is often swamped by “for the life of me I don’t know how I going to get it, but it would be nice to have.” As a result it doesn’t happen and you think, “see, I knew it wouldn’t work” So, what was the over-riding message you were conveying to the Universe? That you didn’t expect to get it. And guess what happened, your expectations were fulfilled, you didn’t get it. Does that prove or disprove the Law of Attraction? Neither. Like all the Universal Laws, the Law of Attraction just is, and does not need your permission to be able to operate.
If you were to go anywhere on the planet and say, “I do not believe in the Law of Gravity” as you jump off a cliff, does that non-belief cancel out the effect of gravity on your body? Nope? You will fall until you hit something solid, regardless of whether or not you continue your beliefs about gravity. So, to say, “I’ve tried this Law of Attraction thingy and it doesn’t work, therefore there is no such law” is simply an example of being closed minded. It has worked, just not in the way you expected it would.
Have you ever had a situation where something happened quite coincidently. Earl Nightingale, a well known broadcaster of the last century said that coincidence was when opportunity met with preparedness. Let me give an example of a coincidence that I believe really wasn’t.
Our son was on his way to work early on a Saturday morning. It was just after 7am when he turned off the freeway, encountered some water on the off ramp, his van aquaplaned, tipped and hit a tree. Our son was critically injured in that moment. He’s fine now, having defied all the doctors’ prognoses. But, here is the amazing thing. Directly behind him at that time was a police officer who was heading back to the station to finish his night duty! He was literally at the scene as it happened before him and, because of his training knew exactly what to do. As a result precious minutes were saved that I believe were the difference between our son living or dying as a result of that crash. Coincidence? Maybe. I prefer to think that his mother’s and my desire for his safety were strong enough to put that police officer in that place at that time, and as a result he is alive and well today.
We would have preferred that it didn’t happen, but enough little things, seemingly unrelated things, came together at that moment so that the crash did happen and our son didn’t walk away unscathed. But, for me, the Law of Attraction worked in that instance, and no-one will convince me any differently.
You see the Law of Attraction, indeed all the Universal Laws work with what is, rather than work against it. The reality was that our son was critically injured. The fact also was there was, arguably one of the most qualified people possible there on the scene as it happened and as a result our son had a chance of survival. A miracle, by contrast, is something that happens which defies the laws of nature. So, this was not a miracle. What is seemingly miraculous is that despite all the medical evidence our son not only lived through the ordeal, but is now, for all intents and purposes, fully recovered from something he should not have survived.
So the Law of Attraction is not some sort of magic genie that supplies your smallest wish. It is a very powerful force in our lives which needs to be understood so that it can be “aligned with” if you want to experience its benefits to the fullest extent. I used the term “aligned with’ because there is no way you can ‘master’ any of the Universal Laws. All you can ever do is align yourself with them so they can respond to you to the fullest extent. That is simply an implication of the Law of Vibration. All the Universal Laws work together. You cannot focus on one to the exclusion of the others.
