One of the ways I proved the existence of LoA to myself when I was still skeptical was through the use of "Coincidence", so you might not want to dismiss it if you're truly trying to test if it exists or not.

See, in my opinion, for LoA to work in our personal worlds without it actually "breaking reality" is for it to do it's thing for us, but to leave everyone else's world alone.

Meaning, if me and you were at McDonalds sitting beside each other, and I wanted to manifest a free Big Mac, and inside my mind I focused my intention to get a free Big Mac and then 5 seconds later the manager walked over and said "Hi sir, I'm sorry to disrupt your lunch but we're currently doing a survey with our customers about the taste of our Big Macs. Would you like to have a free Big Mac and then fill out this online survey whenever you have some time?" ... that TO ME would be "Manifesting a Free Big Mac".

However, if I turned around and said to you "Guess what, I was just thinking about getting a free big mac right before that manager walked over here." you would think "Cool...what a co-incidence".

So, what's my point? Well... two things.

(1) You can't see inside another person's head to see what they are truly believing and thinking, so LoA can't be proven/disproven to you by someone else because even if someone tells you that they believed and used all the steps that the LoA teachers teach, you can never know if they are lying because we can't hear their thoughts or see their beliefs, so the only way to TEST LOA properly is via SELF EXPERIMENTATION.

(2) One way to prove that it exists to yourself is to use co-incidences. Meaning, you first have to establish in your mind what level of co-incidence would be so unlikely that you would have to attribute the event to LoA and not co-incidence. For example, if you tried manifesting a Pizza one day and then 7 days later someone offers you a pizza slice at work, that could be a co-incidence.

However, if you're sitting at home and you try to manifest a Domino's Large Tripple Pepperoni Pizza with Extra Mushrooms and 3 Cokes, and a Side of Cheese Sticks and you tell nobody about it and then the doorbell rings 5 minutes later and it's Domino's delivering a Tripple Pepperoni Pizza with Extra Mushrooms and 3 Cokes, and a Side of Cheese Sticks, I'm pretty sure you'd agree that this is fairly unlikely of an event to be a co-incidence, right?

If still not convinced, maybe for you, this type of even might have to happen 10 times in a row before you truly believe in LoA. That is the way that I proved LOA to myself, and a few of my friends.
