		<description>Weird that I never go online anymore (I'm kind of burned out at the moment because I'm starting my own business) and the one time I do I end up in a RANDOM place actually making a comment!  Anyway...  I thought I may have 2 cents to add, so here you go.  I've read Lynn's book, Excuse Me Your Life Is Waiting and have found it very helpful in that she details everything step by step - which I needed.  I've also read some of the Seth material by Jane Roberts (which is so well known I'm sure most of you have read it) and there was an instance in one book (I can't remember which one) where a close friend dies and she too is somewhere around 40 - 50 years old.  I think she was a therapist or psychologist.  When Jane's students ask Seth to explain why this person had died at such a young age - especially in light of this "new" information Seth had given the students about their lifespans being in their own control - Seth told them the following: (this is NOT verbatim)  She had recently - within the last year - had her ideas/hypothesis on some psychological issues disproven, which was very difficult because she truly believed in them.  Possibly because of that - or maybe something else, her Source Energy/Whole Self/Extended Self felt that her work here, in that time and that body, had run it's course and that it was time to (for lack of a better term) move on.  

My very rough idea here is that Lynn's rather odd book, God What's Happening To Us? may have not been her best work (maybe it WAS and I'm wrong - who knows?!) and that after so many struggles in her life, with alcoholism, negative feelings, and awful boyfriends over the years it may have just been her time to start "fresh" with a much lighter load.  This is just my thought on the matter.  If it helped anyone, I'm thrilled.

Much love peace joy and kind thoughts and feelings to all who read this...

		<description>As sad as Lynn's death is, I don't beleive we need to look at in a 'faith' way. It is common to think about death as failure. Especially when you look at the culture, anthropology, ans psychological facts about what makes humans tick and what our societies are based on.

This statement is vague, but really don't feel the need to write a novel supporting my theory at this point. What I can say is that 'unknown = bad' is something so ingrained in humans that it's taught to us form the very begining...but we are not born with it.

So let me back up an addess what I mean by faith. Faith is the belief that cannot be shaken by facts, logic, reason, or anything really. In some parts I believe it to be good. On the whole, it's VERY blinding. 

Why Lynn died can when she believed so readily in law of attraction? In my opinion, she explained it well in her stories about her life. She had lived most of her life in fear and negativity. Say what you want, but that much negativity will attract a BIG ball of bad. The length of time she spent negative also works out the momentum. Now if you spend 30 years on negative thoughts and only 5 year positive, I think it's safe to reason that you stand to still be hit with some of that negative reaction, I'd also like to point out that Lynn is human, and although she saved many with her writings and ideas, she's not infalable. To think she must live up to a 'God' standard of perfection. And live an imortal life for years and years as proof of her teachings...well, you remember what I said about faith? It's silly and it proves you haven't really looked at the teachings if you cannot give her credit where credit is due. She was human, she had a message that was delivered, and she died. Her death  has everything to do with her life (as will all of ours) and has no bearing on her message. Also that she might have beleived things that had no bearing on her circumstances/didn't save her in the end, proves that she is still human. We're allowed to make mistakes.

Now this may seem sarcastic but really I don't mean it to be. Why exactly is death such a bad end to cancer? Think about it. REALLY think about it? Is death (even if you don't believe in LOA) such a bad thing? Personally I see it as the end of a cycle. Whatever the existence/non-existance/whatever you beleive is after death...it's still a natural cylce. Natural isn't bad, nor is it good...it just is.</description>

		<description>REGARDING THE DEATH OF LYNN GRABHORN:

To All Nay-sayers as well as Disheartened Believers,

Lynn's death proves NOTHING.  
first of all, it is arrogant to assume that you know she was not ready to die and happily welcoming it.  abnormal?  sure.  but if you don't approach situations like this with open-mindedness and rather assume another's emotional or mental state based on YOUR perspective, then you've learned nothing of the Law Of Attraction and you have no strong basis to debate it.  in fact, your scepticism and default auto-damning is the proof that you have not opened your mind to the possibility that you do not know everything.  you have that right - the right to believe that you've got everything in proper perspective and completely under control.  this perspective however, is usually the sign of a person suffering inside every day of their lives because in reality, they feel very much out of control.

i say again, while it's abnormal and maybe unlikely, perhaps it was Lynn's will to pass.  we don't know.  to assume you do know another's intentions or emotional state makes a fool of YOU - not her work!  i would however suggest taking a look at her last message to her students/readers which is on her website: lynngrabhorn.com.  it might help you understand her perspective a bit more before you run around on the internet claiming to know what it was she wanted when she died.  more importantly, i would suggest to always give the benefit of the doubt - in any situation.  it makes life much more enjoyable by untying you to BLAME, it will also help you to avoid looking foolish (which is nice too!).

with love,

		<description>Literally, Lynn Grabhorn's book, "Excuse Me..." changed my life, my entire outlook on life.  I just learned last week that she died.  I have to say this threw me off a bit especially since in her book she was so convincing that you could over come something like cancer.  She mentioned people that had.  She even at one point said there was no reason for medical ailments or even death for that matter.  I believed her.  Truly.  And I guess I just figured that she would be someone who would still be alive and healthy for many many years to come.  Does anyone have any details on her death?   Wasn't she quite young, in her sixties?  This would really help me, thanks.</description>

		<description>Quite a few interesting replies.

Who knew that Lynn Grabhorn's demise could make another downright giddy for finally having "proof" that the law of attraction is bogus.

Just because Ms. Grabhorn wrote a book and was fully educated about the loa process does not mean she was immune from manifesting from a place of default.

And in terms of the napalm example, feel free to read my take on Darfur, Hitler, Rwanda at:

Either way, I'm not here to convince you of anything.</description>

		<description>The 'law of attraction' comes down to one thing; a positive mindset that, when you make it a part of your personality, will open up your mind to possibilities, make you more approachable, and thus give you more freedom.

It is purely psychological - you train yourself to have a positive outlook, and so learn to overcome the mental hurdles that are buried within your mind.

As with countless other things - it's all in your head. LOA is just a misguided explanation to the same end.</description>
