That is a funny hypothetical happening!
So, remember I was saying that I'm not interested in controlling everything that happens to me, because that's not my job in the human game? It may be possible to control everything that happens, I don't know, but that's not my concern and I don't advocate it as part of the LoA or any other practice.
What I am interested in is guiding my reality, and the LoA is a fun practice for that. What I mean by guiding my reality is: deliberately thinking thoughts that feel good when I think them. That practice of guiding my thoughts actually (REAL-ly) controls how the world occurs for me, and that is reality. Must I add "...for me."? Of course it's subjective, because my subjective experience is my only experience, even as it includes the experience of others who declare and "prove" objective reality. Funny!
I'm not interested in deliberately having a cow come flying in through my window, and I'm not interested in some of the random, "If you can do anything, why can't you magically do this or that?" stuff that people around here sometimes come up with. Why? Because I don't want them. I am not vibrationally aligned with having a cow coming in through my window, as they sometimes say in LoA circles.
What I am interested in, what I do want, are my heart's desires, and I've noticed that when I deliberately think thoughts that are in vibrational alignment with those desires, that is, when I'm thinking thoughts that feel good when I think them, what I desire occurs in reality. And when I'm thinking thoughts that don't feel good, what I don't consciously desire also occurs in reality.
Now, back to your cow. Hypothetically speaking, if a cow comes flying into my window in the next ten minutes, I have infinite choice in what I can deliberately think. The first thing that occurs to me is: "How funny! We were just talking about this!" And I might ask the paramedics to take a look at my laptop to see this conversation. Wouldn't that be fun?
Also: I LOVE paramedics. Hey! this just happened, and I'm still alive! (hopefully
). This is going to make SOME story. I wonder if there is some money to be made from this? Danger Man is going to really be surprised. Hey! A TOY cow just flew in my window! Or my neighbor just came up the fire escape and he is having a cow.
You just never know with these hypotheticals -- anything can happen!
Or I also have the choice to guide my feelings in another direction: Oh, no, I've been hit by a cow. I might die. The cow might die. Everything hurts and it'll take me months to recover. Not to mention the window. These things always happen to me. Life sucks. My parents were right, I wasted my life, and now it's over because I've been hit by a cow. I hate cows. I'm lactose intolerant. .... And of course, my thoughts would come *real.* Those things really would occur for me as reality.
I am infinite power, joy, and abundance, and whether or not I can
control what happens to me is not important to me, because I am all the power in the world over how the world
occurs for me. Really!
