Yes!!!
I can't remember if it was before 2008 or 2010, but I had seen a photographer's book at a Borders. I wish I remembered the name of it,but the concept was not too dissimilar to arsehole Warren Buffet's acknowledgement of the womb/ovary lottery.
The book was nothing but pictures of happy wealthy babies compared to those of babies born and dying in poverty or war torn countries.
We forge the parts of our lives/destinies that we can, but we must also understand chaos is NOT non-existent.
There is such thing as the unexplained, mystery that we will never comprehend.
The New Thought Order wants us all to think WE ARE 100% responsible for what we attract.
This is a fallacy.
We do, and are responsible for attracting some things, events, and even people into our lives. But to deny the Great Mystery is to be an atheist which in itself contradicts their own atheism. As by removing the belief on a greater power, they've made themselves into the God they claim doesn't exist.
😬
I'll have to disappoint you by saying I'm atheist myself, but your point still mostly stands, in my view too - whatever the randomness comes from - divine power or simply randomness from the beginning of the universe and/or quantum mechanics, amplified through time- people have different circumstances and are different, meaning there is such a thing as good and bad luck. However I don't believe in the law of attraction either, and think it can even be a harmful belief in many cases (maybe somewhat exaggerated, but e.g. "if I think positively, others will do so too", proceeding to walk through crime-infested area).
