Depends on the perspective or "version" of the law of attraction for me. Many base their perspective spun from the book or movie the secret. In the 12 universal laws (based in ancient hermetic principles) that are my 12 step guidance. Law of attraction comes after vibration and correspondence and before inspired action and transmuted energy. Its not our words but our energy that attracts.
Bad things happen to innocent people sometimes but often, I feel, we've gotten caught in the middle of their energetic pull by no fault of our own. It isn't always about us.
