That's what I gather from your posts.
You would do badly trying to convince anyone to take any particular view of reality ... because you don't even remotely feel sure of your own reality.
But of course. Look at your thoughts! (As shown in this thread). And remember - thoughts create reality. |
I am wise and humble enough to admit that I do not understand the nature of reality. I am old and experienced enough to feel pretty confident that there are about 5.6 billion of us, but about 5.4 billion pretend they do understand the nature of reality. It's a very powerful drive humanity has, to make sense of the extreme complexity and usually deeply hidden causation of events, and has been since we first imagined that the wind and rain were sent by gods.
It's true I've spent a lot of time philosophising, and it's true that I have had to accept defeat in terms of finding a final, absolute certainty, although I have learned a good deal and trust a good deal of what I've learned, so you have described me rather incorrectly here.

Click here and here and here, it's hard to argue with a quarter of a million dollars.
Perhaps it is all, as you might say, just a crazy string of random coincidences. But then it would be ridiculous or me, to draw such a conclusion at the present time. There is just too much objective evidence, for me to behave so illogically.

On the contrary, it's very easy for me to argue with a quarter of a million dollars. All three links, BTW, lead to the same fact. One of the ways perhaps that you convince yourself of the LoA, by the way, is called "amplification". The fact they lead to is that, as you put it yourself: "my annual bonus has increased more than 5 times within the approximately 20-month period that I have been actively using LOA," to which you add, "WOAH!!"
Unfortunately, you do not know by what factor your bonus would have increased had you not been practising the LoA. Nor does it tell you how much of your bonus increase whilst practising arose from your increased confidence, harder work, smiling at the boss more, or any other non-magical factors.

You misunderstand me. I don't say it is a crazy string of random coincidences. I don't know what caused it. I am big enough to admit that I don't know what caused it. You are the one who has drawn a conclusion, which is that you magically caused it by imagining yourself wealthy while you had a massage.
