And the paradox is that if you don't believe in it then you won't get results, but to truly believe in it you have to experience results.

There's a solution to the paradox and that is to research how beliefs are actually formed. For example, if you believe that you are "cute" or "good looking", how do you know that? There is no "cute-meter" or "good looks-meter" out there. But a lot of us live our lives BELIEVING that we are either Good Looking or Ugly, yet we haven't been shown scientific evidence either way.
If you do your research you will find out that beliefs can be formed about anything and they are completely up to your discretion. If you want to teach yourself to believe something you can do it. Perhaps a better way of thinking about it is to see belief as a scale of 1 to 10. Right now you're at level 1 with LOA and you're saying that you will never get to level 10 until you experience the results of LoA. The solution is that I agree with you 100% that you will never believe at level 10 that LoA works until you experience it for yourself, but the thing is that in order to experience it you need to first believe, however you don't necessarily need to believe it at level 10 to see results. By bringing your belief of it to level 4 or 5 you will start to see small manifestations that are just a bit "bizarre" and will make you question your own skepticism and your belief will reach 6 or 7 which will manifest even bigger things and so on.
Bottom line is that if you reached level 10, which most people never do, you'd be able to manifest anything at anytime, including wings to fly with when jumping off a cliff.
