You may investigate that theory for yourself. I find it a little tedious but the method is straightforward enough. Firstly, choose a few areas of your life where you would like to try using the LOA. For example, your money or your health or your career.
In these areas, define what "objective reality" means to you. Identify what you would regard as objective criteria, standards or instruments for measuring that "objective reality".
For example, perhaps you would accept some or all of the following as sufficiently "objective" criteria of the reality of your financial situation: (1) the credit balance of your bank account; (2) the size of your monthly salary, (3) the aggregate amount of all your outstanding debt.
And perhaps you would accept some or all of the following as sufficiently "objective" criteria of your health status: (1) the time it takes for you to jog three miles;(2) your weight, in kilograms; (3) the heaviest weight you can benchpress in the gym. And so on.
And so on. Then describe your current objective reality in writing. Eg:
"As of [date], I have $X in my bank account; I am earning $Y per month; I owe $Z on my mortgage and credit cards. I timed myself and it took me [ ] minutes [ ] seconds to run from Point C to Point D. I currently weigh E kg and I can benchpress F kg in the gym."
Then put away your written record in a safe place. Go apply your LOA for six months. Then re-measure your reality again, using the same criteria and standards which you have already considered to be objective. Compare to your written record.
Then you will know whether your "objective reality" has changed, or merely your perception of it.
