Yeah, but have you personally tested this yourself from your own experience by taking action? Or did you just think of this theory in your head and are too lazy to experiment? Because I certainly know what RAS is and how it works. It's a fairly well known concept in the Pers. Dev. world and I understand it's implications and how it works. However, when I learned about LoA I was just as skeptical as you, but I didn't just talk about how it doesn't work, I actually tried it.
It's when you actually TRY IT that you EXPERIENCE it and then you can speak from that experience. Until you actually experiment with it yourself, you'll just keep thinking "What are all these stupid people talking about? There is no miracles here! It's just their Reticular Activating System, duh!"
Don't you think that smart people like Steve Pavlina, Acting Like Godot (He's a lawyer), and Oprah and the other millions out there using it could be onto something here besides RAS?
You should ask yourself what thing would you need to manifest in your life in order for you to be able to say, without a shadow of DOUBT, that LoA works, that it's not just RAS. Like what would need to happen? Would you need to write down a specific amount of money to the nearest penny and have that exact specific amount flow into your life in a given timeframe (not a penny more, not a penny less), or what would it take to "prove" to yourself that this is not just RAS?
Dude, I've read over 500 books on self help. I have every product out by Tony Robbins. I am very successful at what I do. Look at Steve and all of his success. Look at his level of Intellect. Look at all these other people who believe in this stuff. Do you really think that we weren't once thinking EXACTLY the same thoughts you are thinking?
You think we just read a book on LoA and said to ourselves "Oh cool, this is neat. I think I'll believe this?" No dude. It was a process of harsh turmoil and probing, asking questions, experimenting, failing, succeeding, laughing, sometimes even crying at what this all means. Do you know how many implications are connected to the fact that LoA exists for us? Do you realize that it completely changes everything we have learned since childhood about our lives? You have no clue. You've never driven down the street looking at a cloud and really seriously wondered if you were creating that specific cloud right that very instant. I have. LoA is not RAS. I'd say "trust me", but you won't no matter what I say, so really the only way you could ever know for sure is if you stop with your assumptions and actually experiment with it.
Or you don't have to. But I didn't want to be lying on my deathbed one day wondering if that LoA thing actually works. I decided to experiment and PROVE to myself once and for all whether it works or not. Anyways...best of luck.
