[Acting Like Godot]

Basically the answer is quite simple.

The universe works in certain ways. Humans want to know how. They develop separate lines of inquiry to find their answers. But in the end, it's still the same universe.

As far as consciousness and reality is concerned, very similar sorts of answers will keep cropping up, whatever line of inquiry you explore. The answers are very similar, not identical, becase they spring from different philosophies, methodologies and so on. But in the end, it's the same universe being studied, so the answers will be very similar.

Go and find out more about LOA, hypnosis, magick, NLP, neuroscience, quantum physics, Buddhism, meditation, the paranormal, reiki, psychic phenomena, Jungian psychology. Understand that all these words are just labels and descriptions. Search out the common threads. They all come together to form one big picture.

Before I digress too widely, I'll just offer you the standard definition of magick, which comes from Aleister Crowley, the world's most famous occultist:

Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will.

If you cannot see the relationship between magick and LOA, well .... never mind.

As for that "action" thing .... people, don't be silly. Up to now, can you still not see? Action is merely a form of thought. Some of your actions may change your reality, but NONE of your actions were NOT an expression of your thought. If you were brain-dead, you wouldn't be taking any action.

And simple logic tells you that the fact that your action (a form of thought) can affect your reality absolutely does not go towards disproving (at all) the proposition that other forms of your thought (which do not result in your own actions) cannot also affect your reality.

This is straightforward logic.

Now if you want to know whether your non-action thoughts can affecr reality, you can jolly well go experiment and see. Personally I have no doubt since I succeed in this quite regularly and consistently and have checked myself for all sorts of possible cognitive biases in assessing my own results.
