The Law of Attraction works when occurring from your Pure Self, not from the false illusion self (mind/ego). Thoughts are not a source of power, they are the result of power. You can prove this to yourself with just a few moments of reflection. Drop your focus for a few seconds, your eyes see, but thoughts about what is seen is ignored.. Stay here for a minute or so, you will notice that thoughts come and go, but you don't have to allow them to impact you. You come before thoughts. Thoughts arise in response to your awareness, ignore the thoughts of drama and struggle, and the thoughts change automatically. Mentally trying to think positive thoughts that your Pure Self is not in alignment with, does not have a positive effect. First be at ease and then your thoughts and circumstances change automatically, vs changing your thoughts to effect circumstances that then help you be at ease (this does not work).
