I have said several times that in the end, it is you who has to verify LOA for yourself, and be convinced of it by yourself. Why? Here's an illustration:

We all understand that to really prove LOA to yourself, you'd logically look for a string of unlikely coincidences, actually occurring and seemingly in response to specific thoughts that you had had (as part of your own experiment).

But how unlikely is unlikely? This is something you have to decide for yourself. How unlikely are you to make an error in your checkbook? Some people often make such errors; some people would never make such errors ...

.... how unlikely are you to make a $140 error in your own favour, and discover it just one day after manifesting for $100?

Only you can judge, since you are the one who knows your own behaviour and habits best.
