Last year I put out the intention to receive 50.000 into my life before Christmas. Result: Not anything near it, I found 5 on the ground. BUT in the life of someone I'm really focused on for totally different reasons 500.000 manifested shortly after I put out the intention. Now, what does that tell me about the state of things? What I do is work back from the end result and try to find out what caused it using LoA as a dogma.
Then I already posted that by mid2006 I'd set out to find my other half and crossed paths with this total stranger. The synchronicity that ensued would have been enough to convince anyone that here was a spiritual bond of incredible nature and that this was the One Whatever.
Yet nothing of what I expected in my mind to happen actually happened, and believe me I also spent days in happy expectation sure to the bones of an expected outcome, but yet all sorts of circumstances were created which were too obviously related to what I'd been focusing about to be called coincidental. You see the end result and know beyond the shadow of a doubt that there are forces at work you can neither properly understand nor control. And those forces are what LoA is about.
LoA IS. And LoA is at work all the time, it never ever fails, what does fail is your attempt to understand it and to manipulate it according to your will or what your mind considers the thing to happen.
As ALG already pointed out, when you're saying "LoA failed" you're exposing a wrong assumption you are working with. It's like stating "Gravity failed." and you'd never do that because you believe gravity to be a fundamental physical principle.
To make things even more difficult LoA is an Universal law that can't be seen separately from you. Imagine when they found out that looking at a particle changes it location, just the same you're not a separate entitiy using LoA but part of it. So if you test the principle out trying to manifest a gift basket, working with the assumption that LoA can actually fail, so believing there might not even be a law to work with, what are the chances of success in working with a law that is ultimately responsive to your being?
As it was also pointed out correctly you can never make it stop from working, but you can stop trying to manipulate it consciously to get the wished for results.
Mastering LoA first takes understanding it. When you go for trial and error attempts and don't get the expected result, keep on changing yourself, your approach, your attitude. Dig deep down and keep on changing. You will never be able to change the laws of the Universe, so this is the only way of one day being able to maybe apply them successfully...to the best of your human abilities that is.
You said you used LoA for two major things in your life and didn't get the wished for result. It took Edison a 1000 failed attempts to work out a lightbulb, so how many attempts do you think it might take to get the hang of working with LoA? This is a learning process, expect yourself- or better the ego part of yourself- to be frustrated.
You can do everything right and be working from a wrong basis yet, and get blotched or no result, and even if all is right you still might not get what you asked for, or you get in a shape that -if you are very set on appearances of what you had in mind- you might not even recognize as the result.
So there it is, you wrote you wanted reunion with your Grandma, you even bought her some slippers you knew she'd like. You simply expected reunion to take place a certain way, the way you had in mind. But are you sure it didn't take place any other way?
Same thing when you asked to win the gift basket, what else happened around that might qualify for the experience of "free gift" without the appearance wrapping you had in mind?
Thing is, it is nearly impossible for any outsider to exactly determine whether you actually failed to produce a wished for result, or didn't recognize the result cause it didn't come in the expected shape. And if you didn't produce the wished for result in any way, it's even more difficult to exactly determine where the snag lies in your attitude and approach.
One snag ALG has pointed out to you on this thread. The assumption that LoA can fail is basically wrong, and influences LoA itself in a counterproductive way.
Like I said you don't need LoA to be able to lead a happy life. If you are determined to keep practising, it might not be a bad idea to regard it as a hobby, like a sport you can learn to master.
