Pay the $25 when someone can prove the Law of Attraction is as reliable of the Law of Gravity (funny how gravity works whether you've read the instructions or not…kind of what makes it a law, I guess).

The long spiritual journey is such because you are usually walking around in circles.And, finally, the fact that it would be Really Really Cool for a particular thing to be true, is not support for the proposition that it is.
A physical law, scientific law, or a law of nature is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations of physical behavior. Empirical laws are typically conclusions based on repeated scientific experiments over many years, and which have become accepted universally within the scientific community. The production of a summary description of nature in the form of such laws is a fundamental aim of science.
Laws of nature are distinct from the law, either religious or civil, and should not be confused with the concept of natural law. Nor should 'physical law' be confused with 'law of physics' – the term 'physical law' usually covers laws in other sciences (e.g. biology) as well.
That second paragraph makes so little sense it could only have come from a wacky self-help book or Wikipedia.
And the winner is *drum roll*

Beyond proving that Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source of definitions (hoodathunkit!)…the point would be….aaaah, that's right, send me $2000.
Physical laws stating that some property of a closed system is unaltered by change in the system; it is conserved. The most important are the laws of conservation of matter and energy. Mass and energy are interconvertible according to the equation E = mc2; what is conserved is the total mass and its equivalent in energy.

Dear Yossarian
Whether you think you are right or you think you are wrong you are probably right …

Yes yes, physical laws etcetera, empirical observations etcetera.
Can you just clarify for me whether the 'law of attraction' is about ‘like attracting like’ or ‘opposites attracting’? Because I have some interesting physical laws (laws of physics specifically) based on empirical observations I'd like to share with you, specifically relating to which kind of attraction occurs most commonly in the natural world.
Additionally, you may wish to ponder from your previous post about ‘closed systems’ whether the total ‘abundance’ in the world is finite or infinite. If it is finite, yet some people can attract it simply by thinking positively about it, would that not imply that somebody else somewhere in the world loses an equal and opposite amount of ‘abundance’? That would surely mean that the 'loser' had been thinking the wrong way about abundance, which raises a philosophical difficulty.
If the 'winner' can only 'win' at the expense of the 'loser'
and
The 'loser' can only 'lose' by thinking negatively
and
The 'winner' can 'win' at will by positive thinking
then
The 'winner' is controlling the 'loser' – ie forcing him/her to think negatively!It follows that the 'winner' must question the morality of taking advantage of 'the law of abundance'…

PS – did the $2,000 I thought about sending you arrive yet?
PPS – I know you’re busy, what with all the teaching, preaching and thinking about abundance, but could you please find it in your heart to spend a few minutes thinking positively about my post from April 17, 2007 – 4:11pm. It still has that spelling error, and the sooner you can fix it the better I’ll feel.C'mon…just cop to the fact that at the end of the day that The Secret, its predecessors and successors, simply require a belief in magic. This will save the embarrassment of the faux scientific claptrap that wouldn't past muster ina year 8 physics class.
Effective investment is about mastering facts and there are no shortcuts.
If anyone is not too busy visualising abundance, or whatever, and up for a good laugh, try this link.
