You all know that Tolle is about having the universe guide you? And that he's not about "telling the universe what I want"? And then that seems to be different approaches to operating. Like for the LoA it's figuring out what you want and the "putting your order in to the universe". But Tolle suggests that it's the other way around.

So then, is LoA about "putting your order into the universe"? And how can that operate if what really works is to ask "what does life want from me?"?

I see this as a bigger difference than being in the present moment versus having the LoA mindset that seems to project into the future (which has been dispelled in this thread).
