The Law of Attraction - Does it Conflict with Religion? or Confirm it?

It seems I'm finding from other websites devoted to the Law of Attraction that there are many questions driven at disproving it or weakening its plausibility. One of the subjects of questions has to do with Religion. If the universal laws are true, is religion then... not?

In my opinion the Universal Laws actually prove Religion to be true, more than ever. My ex husband was always quick to question religion. I had gone to church for most of my life and am a believer in God, Heaven and hell. However, he had many questions that I couldn't fully answer. I never doubted Religion, I just wish I'd have studied more in Bible School so I could prove to him that God was real. As it turns out, it really has to do with faith and believing.

When I first discovered the Law of Attraction I was fascinated. I wasn't one of those that had to be convinced. I quickly saw how it made total sense. I knew that my life sucked (sorry...but it kinda did...or so I thought it did) because I thought my life sucked! When I say that I mean that I didn't have the dream job I wanted, I didn't have the means to give my family the things I wanted to, I didn't have the income to live in the house that I wanted, I didn't feel as beautiful as I once did when I was younger...I could go on and on. But we are all in good health and we do have fun together and laugh alot.

After I watched The Secret for the first time 5B4I quickly went and Googled it. Then I Googled Law of Attraction, which led me down the path of never ending information on the Universal Laws and how they work. I did stop for just a moment during this week-long journey and wonder if I had in fact been praying wrong...that maybe Jesus wasn't listening to me because he isn't there! It was only a minute later I found this:

"the Bible says exactly the same thing, and the language is just as plain and convincing: "know ye not that ye are the temple of the living God?" Here, then, is the secret of the wonderful creative power of the "world within."

--This is from "The Master Key System" by Charles F Haanel

It made me think. It made me think way back...to the time of Moses, and of the virgin Mary. We are all made up of the exact same thing. We are a part of the Universal Being... and you can't be a part of something without being exactly like it..except for size. And the Bible tells us that we are created by God and in God's likeness. And of the great people that are mentioned throughout the bible.. We all think with the same consciousness, so Is it possible then that the people from that time each thought of an individual who would come and save them? If they all pictured an individual with great powers, and a man came along with what seemed like powers and they made him believe he was great...or what if some of the great people of that time were actually geniuses, 598and somehow had more use of their brain power..and consequently their conscious power and thus in a way figured out how to use these laws without even knowing it. Is it possible that Religion and Universal Laws are in fact one in the same? Perhaps The Universal Laws are actually God's Laws, designed to be unbroken and perfect to ensure that life would continue no matter what.

Let's consider for a moment that you only believe in Science. Religion seems to be teaching almost the exact same thing. They're bringing people together who close their eyes and all focus on one thing. The power of prayer? No wonder! If we as a community did the same thing outside of church, without saying god or Jesus..I do believe we could have the same power. I still pray. And now I also take time to meditate and intend. And I'm grateful, and grateful to God. I'm not second guessing either one, or maybe I am. Maybe I'm covering all of my bases. How I feel inside when I go to church and how I feel inside when I'm repeating some of my favorite affirmations seems to be the same..that much I know.

Looking back to my ex-husband on the other hand, if I knew then what I know now..I just may have had some good answers for him. I may have given him a reason to believe...in something anyway.
