Dear Markus74! I had a lot of fun with my 1-day LoA experiment. In fact, in a way it changed my course, and has loosened up a certain hardened feeling I had been carrying around.

I remember responding to someone that you (Markus74) or any skeptic, should be expected and welcomed to question the exhorbitant claims made by anything that can't be rationally explained, and I still believe that. The defensiveness you have encountered was getting on my nerves.

And. I'm glad I read that Hicks book. I'm glad I read the part about deliberately choosing thoughts that make you feel good when you think them. I'm glad I didn't spend any money on anything. I'm happy that after doing my experiment and now, doing the exercises in the book, I feel good immediately and continuously. Feeling good is underrated! But I'd like to continue to do these things and to share them with Danger Man; and I can see how other people would be excited to share the techniques of LoA.

It seems to me that a lot of people here who use LoA are concentrating on the loot -- win the lottery, find a lover, notice synchronicities. For me, though, the really good part is getting what I really want, underneath all the loot. Some of those things are: being loving, free, joyful, generous, vital, on fire, and more. I was already those things and I want more! More! LoA feels like it's the perfect tool for me to use in creating all those things going into my new year. I'm totally uninterested in the loopholes, arguments, rules, discrepancies, silliness (Abraham? feh.) But I am interested in creating, having fun, and feeling good.

You have asked a lot of questions and expressed a lot of interest, so that's why I'm writing to you. If you weren't drawn to it, you wouldn't be drawn to it, that's all. But since you seem to be, I just wanted to let you know that skeptical me has found it worthwhile and valuable, without any real rational reason to, except that it feels good.

Just thought I'd let you know that, since I won't bother to look at the LoA rationalization threads anymore. I hope to see you elsewhere -- you've got an inquiring mind, and you're entertaining!
Angela.
