To expect a certain person to be into you is different then being open to anyone that you may meet. The universe provides the situations and oppertunities but we are not supposed to tell the universe exactly how some intent will show up. (at least that idea is something I've read somewhere about LoA - 'let the universe handle the how') The control I see is that expecting part being put onto a certain person. I don't know what kind of IM exercises you are doing but I think often we get into thinking we can control the world with our ego's will. I am not sure that is really possible. I think it is more a matter of being aligned with spirit and the will of the ego become closer to what your soul is after. It comes from spirit not from ego. At least that's my take on LoA and IM. It's about allowing and witnessing and getting in the grove, not directing, striving, demanding, controlling (IMO). Maybe there's some schools of thought about LoA that say something different but I filter them out as trying to hook people into thinking they can "get things" that then people take as a way to try to satisfy their ego - so they can sell us something. And maybe I'm all wrong about this. Maybe we can think something and have the world change because of our ego's will. I don't try to do that. I don't want my ego or sense of seperation to be reinforced too much. I want to feel more whole and at one and at peace. The ego is full of wanting and needs and expects to get things and be satisfied, then one can set themselves up for disappointments when things are different than what the ego wants. I'm just having my own opions, you know? Trying to sort LoA or IM out myself. Just watch out for the ego wanting something really badly. I even think most LoA material talks about that in terms of having an intent but one most not be attached to it.
