Acting Like Godot: I read your blog entry with interest because it echoes my own observations -- about human consciousness and free will! I think IM/LOA is a bit like astrology: useful, even true, but not in the ways people seem to think (namely, ego-centrism, no matter how much "good" they consciously will would come of fortune): to make a long story short, they are true and useful the way money has value and utility...only when people agree that they should.
As per Goethe,
Woe to him who becomes accustomed, from his youth, to want to find something arbitrary in the necessary, who would like to ascribe some kind of reason to the accidental, to follow what might even be a religion. Does this mean anything more than to renounce one's own understanding and to give absolute room to one's inclinations?
Anyway, it was quite thought-provoking to read of similar notions WRT economics and finance. Indeed, there is a kind of "law" or "principle" here, as all human activity is the result of consciousness -- and therefore it should not be too surprising that human consciousness goes on to affect the outcome!
