Actually (I think) a lot of Einstein's work was fall out of his quest for evidence of subjective reality but he called it the unified field theory. His theory of relativity presents a model that begins to tie what we sense/detect/measure/quantify in the physical world all together. And what he and other deep physicists started to notice was that to observe physical reality was tricky because you can't completly remove the observer. Doesn't that sound like subjective reality? That we actually are intwined with what we observe?
I included that quote since this thread is discussing what is possible to manifest with LoA. Now - that could also be this question: how real is the physical universe? So the quote is, to me, an expression of how the physical universe is an illusion of some kind that persists by our attachment to being separate (ego/objective world). That kind of thinking (nirvana, heaven on earth, power of now...) has been in spiritual writings as well. I'm not saying belive in this, just that these thinkers have been there and thought these things.
"Some things can't be changed" - yeah, well, like I got a certain set of genes to run with that gives me blue eyes. It's all most like this physical world has some kind of momentum that keeps it stable even if, at the level the physicists can try to observe, everything looks like either a particle or a wave and both too - so what is all this coming into out senses anyway? Clumps of vibrating energy that are arranged to have a lasting illusion we can touch/look at? It's all pretty in impracticable, these thoughts.
"It seems dubious to me that the LoA is exclusively present in situations that also can be explained rationally."
Not following this. Situations that can be explained rationally? Is there a way to explian things irrationally? Not sure what the idea was here.
