I'm not saying people become victims by using LoA. I'm saying if you think life sucks, then LoA ideas probably help.

If you want to steer it - you are thinking you can control life. That may feel empowering. But to what point? And then to use LoA you are to be content now - which implies non-steering or non-control of life.

After that, and reading your response, I'm starting to think maybe I already apply the law unknowingly. If LoA is just to harness emotional energy, I feel like I can already do that on another level without the doubt that comes with associating that energy with a "law". Hmm, I'll have to see...
I think any ideas or thoughts of having LoA respond to our imagination may be more like precognition. The "effort" of sitting and imagining something is really us picking up on something that is to be - something that is already in the works. It is not our little brain mass generating it - our brains and emotions are responding to life and even the things we think we are controlling or exerting free will over or having decisions about are part of life and our bodies and brains are picking up what life is. It's not an external force that's not us, like giving it up to an external God being, but it is us in the grander sense.

Just an alternate possible viewpoint.
