[Acting Like Godot]

There is this thing. For convenience, we call it the Law of Attraction. It means that our thoughts create our reality.

If we accept the above, it follows that by changing our thoughts, we can change our reality. If we merely think, we are creating our reality.

How skilful or powerful or capable we are, at controlling our thoughts, is a separate question. What we choose to create, is also a separate question. Indeed, how able we are, to make those choices, is also a separate question.

Every person, whether he has ever heard of the LOA or not, is creating. Whether the person is thinking about a new car or world peace or good sex or how to launch a terrorist attack or more money or what to eat for dinner, the person is creating.

For those of us who are learning about the relationships between thought and reality, it will follow, quite naturally, that we begin to see the importance of taking responsibility for our thoughts, and our creations.

But this is still a learning process. For IMers who still aren't convinced that they can magically manifest a new job opportunity, or an empty parking lot, or $5,000 out of thin air, I think it could be quite pointless to say:

"Oh yeah? Shouldn't you manifest world peace then, or an end to famines, or put a stop to global warming."

For me - and this is just my opinion - it seems logical that the more you learn about the LOA and the greater your ability to consciously use it, the better a person you will become. Here, by the word "better", I mean things like being kinder, more compassionate, more helpful, more loving, more "spiritual" etc.

Why? Well, for reasons such as these:

1. if you can manifest anything you desire, there is no need for selfishness; you can give away what you have, and manifest more of it;

2. If you fully understand that you attract all your own experiences, there is no need for anger or blame;

3. If nothing can enter your reality unless you let it, there is no need for fear;

4. If you can manifest solutions at will, it will be quite easy and fun to help others who seek your help. So you will be more helpful

Etc etc. But it is an experiential process - a mere intellectual understanding is necessary, but completely, utterly, totally, absolutely insufficient.
