In principle, I agree with a large part of your post.
In practice, both approaches can be extremely frightening, for people who have delved deep enough to understand the implications.
If you take the position that you create your own reality entirely, and that something as powerful as LOA in your hands - then you have to be completely responsible for everything that occurs in your life. And you have absolutely no excuse left, to be mediocre or ordinary.
If however you surrender completely to a higher power, then you have to face the possibility that your connection might break someday and you'll be left stranded. It happens to the best of us - think Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.
That is why most of us are somewhere in the middle zone. It's the most limited area, and the most comforting.
Maintaining that state of surrender is not particularly easy either. This is due to the inherent nature of the mind to disturb itself (something thoroughly explained in Buddhism). |
