Then he is changing his actions. I agree that thoughts direct action, and action directs the reality "out there." (Outside of just our perception)
But as I'm sure you're aware, there are many LOA teachers who do say that your thoughts alone can change the "out there" reality. In other words, you can sit in a room thinking "I have straight A's" and you will have straight A's (with no other action required). This is the teaching that I find to be untrue, and apparently you do too.
