Once your peak experience passes, all you have left is the memory of your peak experience, which no doubt is a beautiful and precious memory, but still no more than a memory. Then you're back to plain old LOA again - every thought of yours contributing to your perception of reality.

(And since reality, to you, can never be more than what you perceive it to be, your reality IS whatever you perceive it to be ...... but that's a separate point, more for Mrs Cogan. If she believes that reality is objective, then that is how reality will appear to her. After all, reality is subjective.)
Sounds like a contradiction what you wrote. Mixing up LoA and peak experience - and then saying peak experience gives profound insights to LoA. Can't be both mixing up and insightful. The memory of a peak experience is not just a memory. It's a life changing thing. It does stay with you in your bones. Just like falling in love changes you. I know there is more to life than our ego and habitual thoughts. If I was wanting to be Christian it would probably be like what they call a conversion.

I don't know what you mean by plain old LoA - what happened to the idea that LoA is always in effect? There are not degrees of LoA working or not.
