3 Ways The Law of Attraction Can Improve Your Lifestyle

The Law of Attraction, which is part of the 12 Universal Laws, is perhaps the one that has gained most notoriety. Although it has existed for eons, it wasn’t until the release of ‘The Secret’, in 2006, that the concept started to seep into the public domain.

Given that the concept also overlaps with some religious teachings—like the word of faith movement— the practice has quickly gained traction throughout the western world. The Law teaches that you attract what you are—if you believe in something strongly enough, and set your mind on it, you will see it become a reality.

You can manifest the business of your dreams

In business, too, the Law of Attraction has fascinated entrepreneurs as a serious method for manifesting revenue, clients or new product lines. Celebrity talk show host, and entrepreneur, Oprah Winfrey, famously devoted a whole episode to the phenomenon. As a devotee of the practice, she inspired many to follow in her wake.

Whilst many have dismissed it as mere ‘positive thinking’, author and certified Law of Attraction life-coach, Divina Caballo, has taken the modality to new heights. In her exploration of the practice, she has focused on harnessing the very powerful attributes of the three minds—conscious, subconscious and superconscious.

Describing her own experience of applying the Law, Caballo says: “I had a picture of the type of business I wanted to run. The types of fruitful relationships I wanted to cultivate. However, I just seemed to get the opposite. It took me some time to realize I was full of negative subconscious self-beliefs and the universe was simply returning what I was exuding. As soon as I deleted the subconscious beliefs, (not just the conscious beliefs) everything in my professional life began to shift; every interaction became positive and satisfying.”

You can clear your life of limitations

To reap the rewards of the Law, it is widely accepted you must first eliminate all of the negative mindsets that so easily hamper progress. To achieve this, Caballo encourages her clients to regularly partake in unblocking sessions where a transformational form of energy technique is used to negate or unblock subconscious or superconscious areas of the mind that are causing a cessation of positive events and outcomes.

Caballo explains, “Perhaps, your goal is to make a million dollars. That’s the conscious mind verbalizing your intentions. But, in your subconscious, you might have hundreds of negative beliefs—’I’m not good enough’, ‘I don’t deserve this.’ The negative subconscious belief is always going to win… it’s more powerful than the conscious mind alone.”

Abandoning negativity can also have a marked effect on one’s physical appearance. So many English expressions identify the toll that stress can have on the body—”He carried the weight of the world on his shoulders,” or, “She was worried sick.” It seems the human race has always had an innate awareness of the deleterious effects of self-deprecating thoughts.

Caballo recalls a female client who underwent “reprogramming”—a process of purging unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with more productive ones—only to experience a sudden change in her health. Having suffered with five separate diseases, the client was shocked to receive a clean bill of health from a doctor—no disease markers. As well as the diagnosis, Caballo says the client had “a lot of energy, incredible sleep and boundless energy.”

You can connect with your inner creative genius

For those who want to harness the full capacity of the human mind, there remains a third realm—the superconscious mind. This is often referred to as the ‘All-Knowing’ mind, a reference to its involvement in dreams, intuitive impulses, wisdom, innate talents and creativity.

Many report periods in life where they feel more connected to this area of their mind. For example, teenagers and young adults seem to be more creative and vibrant. They are more attuned to the subtle messages coming from the superconscious mind. Society urges most of us to abandon that type of intuitive thinking in favor of logic and reason. Nevertheless, those who listen to this ‘voice’ display greater creativity in disciplines such as singing, dancing or writing. For business people, this might offer the ability to create a new ad campaign, devise a new product or simply spot an opportunity in the market.

Caballo adds: “The superconscious mind is responsible for the majority of your manifesting power. Your higher self ‘dictates’ marketing and product ideas. You shouldn’t worry about what you are going to come up with; it’s already being transmitted to the deep recesses of your mind. The reason most people struggle to discover their life’s purpose, or feel like they lack talent, is because they have a blocked superconscious mind. Spiritual practice can help to open this up and manifest your unique, divine plan.”

Confronting Propaganda: Street Smart Documents Honest Reactions to Gaza Indoctrination Footage

In a recent project, the Street Smart team gathered 20 strangers and presented them with propaganda footage from Gaza that has circulated widely online but remains largely unfamiliar to many audiences. The aim wasn’t to provoke outrage or test media literacy in a classroom setting. It was to capture raw, unfiltered emotional reactions to material that reveals how narratives are formed at the source. The resulting video offers a candid look at how people process shocking content and how their perceptions shift when they see what is rarely shown on mainstream platforms.

The Structure of the Experiment

The format was simple. Participants were seated and shown a series of clips from Gaza, including children’s programming and broadcasts containing intense ideological messaging. No background information was provided, and viewers were not instructed on how to interpret what they were seeing. After watching, they were asked for immediate reactions.

The footage elicited a wide range of emotions. Some viewers were stunned by the content, admitting they had never seen anything like it before. Others expressed disbelief, questioning why this kind of material isn’t more widely discussed. A few were visibly shaken, saying the experience fundamentally altered their understanding of the situation.

By presenting the footage without narration or added commentary, Street Smart allowed participants’ genuine responses to emerge. The experiment revealed how propaganda can affect an entire generation. It can shock, unsettle, and force people to reconsider their assumptions.

Why This Project Matters

Sage Fox and Dorani aligned the purpose of this experiment with Street Smart’s broader mission of challenging prevailing narratives and encouraging critical thought among younger audiences. In an environment where footage spreads rapidly across digital platforms, propaganda can shape public opinion long before context catches up.

By showing the Gaza Indoctrination footage in a controlled setting and recording uncoached responses, the team aimed to expose the emotional and cognitive impact of this type of content.

“The first reaction is often the most revealing, because it shows how powerful images can be without context.”

The Range of Reactions

While each participant brought their own perspective, several themes emerged. Some expressed sympathy with the imagery itself, saying it was emotionally powerful.

One participant said, “It makes me question what I see online every day. How much of it is shaped this way?”

Their comments highlight how propaganda resonates differently depending on prior knowledge and exposure. Many viewers have simply never encountered such footage directly.

Street Smart’s Approach

This project continues a pattern established by Sage Fox & Dorani’s earlier videos. Rather than relying on experts or lengthy analysis, Street Smart focuses on real people and their honest reactions. The approach is simple but effective. Present potent material, listen to what people say, and share those moments with a wider audience.

The Gaza Indoctrination footage experiment fits this model. It doesn’t attempt to draw final conclusions or offer political commentary. Instead, it documents how people respond when they’re exposed to narratives that are usually filtered through intermediaries.

Implications for Media Literacy

Beyond its viral potential, the video raises broader questions about how people interact with powerful imagery online. Propaganda operates on emotional reflexes. As this experiment shows, those reflexes are often unexamined until they’re brought to the surface.

Sage Fox & Dorani hope that projects like this push audiences to think more critically about what they see and share.

“The purpose is not to tell people what to believe. It is to remind them that every image comes from somewhere, and that source matters,” they said.

Next Steps for Street Smart

As Street Smart’s platform grows, Sage Fox & Dorani plan to conduct similar experiments in different contexts. They intend to use their direct, street-level approach to highlight how people react when presented with challenging material.

The Gaza footage project is one piece of a larger mission. The team uses simple methods to shed light on complex issues. By focusing on authentic reactions, they continue to build a unique space in online media that blends cultural investigation with raw human response.

A Window into Unfiltered Thought

“We showed 20 strangers real propaganda footage from Gaza — and filmed their unfiltered reactions” is not a dramatic exposé or academic study. It is a clear, unmediated record of how individuals respond when confronted with material designed to persuade. In that restraint lies its strength.

By documenting these moments, Street Smart shows how awareness can begin with a pause. A brief space between seeing and believing.
