I took a look at the link that Rose of Cairo included in her post (thanks, Rose!) and saw the following:

OK, I understand that. Other people have their own intentions and their own freewill. Makes sense.
Then I remembered reading something that Steve wrote in a
blog entry:

Now, maybe I'm missing something here, but these two messages seem contradictory.
Erin writes that I can't attract a specific person in my life because the other person has their own intentions. But Steve writes that the other person is basically a manifestation of my own consciousness, therefore using LoA should bring about the desired result.
These concepts are mutually exclusive. Either other people have freewill and their own personalized intentions or they're a manifestation of my consciousness and open to influence through LoA.
Which is it?
