Heh, that blue feather experiment and the direct method thing was something I mused about a few weeks ago and sent ALG a PM about.
If the point is to get what you want, rather than to just figure out whether IM is an accurate model of reality, you stop trying to focus IM to work through just a few magical ways. Two ways to frame it. One is the dominance of analytic philosophy and the scientific method in our society that chooses "truth' or accuracy over pragmatic results, not to mention how many times a lot of us are made to feel stupid if we give the wrong answer or something. The second is an article by Steve about how do you figure out if something is accurate or not. His suggestion is that more accurate beliefs give you more creative power in the universe, so you can create better.
In either case, applying LoA to waht you want isn't very hard at all. A few minutes of visualization, or thinking about what you want in a certain way (which has non-magical benefits, too) is about all you need. So....what's stopping you? Fears? Get over it. Just do it. Why? Cause you said so.
