Question about the law of attraction, cause and effect?

So, I have come across many who explain that

1. we create our own reality based off of level of consciousness/spiritual awakening/the level of vibration. We attract things that are similar to what are are already/ have already experienced.

It is then thought that subconsciously, we create the problems in our life by continuing negative patterns/ways of thinking/being. And that until we take accountability for that, it will not change.

But this conflicts in my mind. For example, many have explained that if you think negatively about a situation, then the negative thing will happen. But what if you are just being discerning and past experience has shown you that the outcome is likely. Are you still responsible for creating it?

I.e. I am afraid that my ex husband won t pick up the kids on time. When he calls to arrange plans to get them the next day, I can t help but thinking repeatedly "he s going to be late." Surely, he is. Did I create that experience for myself?

    Its simpler than that its about energy efficiency , negative thought is a waste of energy , goodness is energy in its most efficient form , we use the law of attraction to increase goodness thats what its for , if I have negative thought about a possible outcome I am wasting energy , I accept the event may happen and do not waste energy thinking about it still think positive stay in the now and deal with it when it happens, the law of attraction was railroaded by wealth Gurus a shame it could have been a turning point for humanity it has just held it back . As an Evolutional Goodhist I increase goodness reducing fear/anxiety and sin or negative / harmful thought and action , anxiety is a sin against .

    Reality by definition is not subjective. You rejecting reality and trying to substitute your own is a really good description of being irrational, but it changes nothing.

    In other words, little Polly Klaus did not create the reality of an evil scumbag crawling into her window, kidnapping her, and killing her.

    That happened because what we call reality is tainted by evil, causing it to at times to be imperfect or annoying place to live but at other times it is an extremely dangerous place to live. And we would all do well to be vigilant against that evil.

    Hope that helps.
