Your question is really at the dead center heart of the whole LOA debate and I thank you for stating it so clearly! I'm a little jealous as I pride myself on getting to the real essence of things but I've been unable to keep it so simple despite years of thinking about it.

I've been disappointed many times when I've "vibed" something up aka the late Lynn Grabhorn. I've gotten into these very good feeling states and focused exactly on what I wanted, expected to get it and ultimately the whole thing collapses on me. HOWEVER, I have noticed when I am in that great feeling state that little things manifest well constantly throughout the day....just not necessarily the end result I am seeking.

On the other hand, there have been many times when I've had just a marginal desire, barely thinking about something, totally detached/accepting and BAM, the Universe just slathers me with good fortune! I do live snake shows for kids and have been working with a rather small collection of animals for the past year (8 snakes~which sounds a lot but sometimes when they've fed heavily or are deep in shed I can't use them for my handling programs...). I've wanted to get a few more colorful animals and one species in particular (color morph bull snakes..) I am truly enamored with, but wasn't really obsessing on it...just had the intention that I'd keep my eyes open and sooner or later connect with the right animal.

So last Sunday, I traded one little baby black pine snake to a friend I've gotten a snake or two before from and he gave me three SPECTACULAR adults with unbelievable coloring (two axanthic bulls and a very large Nelson het for Albino for any snake enthusiasts who might be reading...) and now I'm totally set for doing really great shows!

I haven't read the above responses yet....just wanted to thank you for posing the question so clearly.
