I was just considering how this thread you started led you to see a red hat.

I prefer to put LOA in the following statement: What the thinker thinks, the prover proves. It's from the book Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson.

What it means is whatever you believe, you will summon the proof to make it true. The way you go about finding proof is the same way you go about finding anything; it's quite ordinary. The power is in what you believe.

Like say you live in Timbuk2 but you believe you live in New York City. If you believed strongly enough, you would no longer be compatible with living in Timbuk2-- the town square just can't replace Time Square and no one can understand your Brooklyn accent-- the bus ride to New York City, however, would be like any other trip cross country.

Instead of starting with wanting a million dollars, start with believing you are a millionaire. How does a millionaire think? What does a millionaire do? The process of learning the millionaire mindset would come through normal lines of investigation, but eventually your reality would conform to what you believe.
