There are no TRULY random events. Only the mental projection of the thought form of "randomness". Which is, like all things, a highly ordered and masterfully composed manifestation of your consciousness.

A magnet doesn't know how to seek out other magnets. bring the two magnets together you have magnetic attraction through energy, but ...who brought the magnets together in the first place?

That may be too simple of an analogy. The energy of intent is intelligent by default. Let me put it this way: every point of consciousness in all existence is ALL powerful, ALL knowing, and omnipresent across time and space. You are one with everything. If two (or more) things have absolutely no limits, they are precisely the same thing. The way intent works with attraction is the path of least resistance. First, the things that are most easily malleable are affected, like information (very fluid energy), and then actions (fairly fluid energy), and then physical objects (less fluid energy).

So this must mean that when you have a desire (a thought), the energy is sent out into "the universe", this is where it gets tricky for me.... what lines things up? Seriously think about it. We all know this works but how? Steve says consciousness makes this work and I agree. I believe the energy is “God” and “God” is our collective consciousness. To me, this then means that my actions are not necessarily coming from my own thoughts, because if you have desire for something, and I am the person who can manifest that desire for you, then this "consciousness" puts thoughts in my head to allow me to bring you your desire. This thinking helped my understand the concept that we are all "one" and connected. We are all linked through our mind or sub-conscious via this energy.

That is a logical course of thought. I would agree with you, we are one organism. But thoughts cannot be placed inside you without your consent. If you are part of someones manifestation, its because they are also part of yours on some level. No one can enter you experience, unless, in some manner, they have been invited first by thought.

I was brought up Christian and while I value some of the beliefs I have a problem with the dogma and doctrines. However, is it possible that collectively our consciousness is one "God"? After all, our consciousness has the intelligence to manifest desires. Our consciousness has to evaluate all situations and events to line-up future events to manifest your desires. It acts as an independent observer of everything around us. As if all of our minds create one large mind that thinks independently. Which could be described as one “God”. This could be any God of various religions around the world. I know a lot people don’t like the using the term God, please replace it what ever you prefer, my point is not prove an existence in God, but rather to try to explain if there is single entity is that orchestrates the LoA.

I call it "intelligent infinity" -- my higher self which is all, knows all, and has all power.

What may appear to someone as random, is likely a step towards a manifestation of someone’s desire.

Exactly, or the fulfillment of somebody's BELIEF in randomness, which orchestrates a VERY convincing illusion that corroborates that specific belief.

Its natural to feel somewhat crazy while you ponder new ideas with far reaching implications, but soon that feeling will dissipate only to be replaced by a shiny new feeling of empowerment!
