Intend, yes. But taking some action is often required too. |
This is great - just this afternoon I was thinking about this story (which is about the same time you typed it)!
I first heard it when I was very little, 4 or so - it was a joke of my parent's. (I remember it because it still is) I thought at the time ''God must have been so annoyed by this man's frequent praying, to come down only to tell him that'' (Back then God was a skinny Santa in the sky wearing a cloth)
Later in my teens, I started noticing that everything I get or happen to me was something I thought of not long ago. And then when I read The Alchemist (like any other young hippie), the sentence ''When you truly want something, the whole Universe alligns itself for you to get it'' really resonated with me and I was all like ''Aha! I knew it!''
What I know to be true is this:
LoA works with me every time I
truly, deeply, honestly, pure-heartedly, whole heartedly, childlike-ly WANT IT.
Whether I acted upon it or not varies between me working for it and me bending down to pick it up. Either way, I got what I wanted.
Law of attrACTION -
GREAT STUFF!
