I started to think about this as I was trying to understand random events in life. Do random events actually exist? If I truly believe in the law of attraction, then how can I believe there can be any random events?

Think about it, we are putting out intentions through thought whether we know it or not. The idea is that the Universe, God, Source energy, whatever you want to call it will start to line things up for you. Provided that you are vibrational match, the universe will manifest your desire. I believe this (I am blown away by the results) but I have a problem with understanding the nature of the LoA with respect to random events. Many people on this form believe they exist, and I am not arguing this in anyway. I just want to discuss it further...

So thought process started with who is bringing us our desires...

First, this idea of an "entity", the universe as a "being" who thinks and acts in order to line things up for you while you work towards being a vibrational match. This idea to me is like a belief that your prayers will be answered by God if you are a good boy or girl. Once you are good, God will provide you your desire. If you are bad, God will provide you with what you deserve. Regardless, "someone" (God) is observing you, seeing what you deserve, and puts in motions events to bring you what you deserve. There is an observer, a judge to determine what you deserve and intelligence to line things up for you.

Second, what if remove God and think about it in terms of Quantum physics, and that energy is attracted by like energy as described in many books and the movie "the secret". Even here something is doing the lining up of events (the part of I-M that ties in all of the world events to allow the synchronicity to occur in your life). Energy alone cannot think. A magnet doesn't know how to seek out other magnets. bring the two magnets together you have magnetic attraction through energy, but ...who brought the magnets together in the first place?

So one could conclude that the energy in us and our thoughts described in Quantum physics is, or is a part of God/Source/Universe. The energy in all of us has to have intelligence in order for the LoA to work, agreed? The energy is us also has to be connected to all of the other energy in the universe in order for it to attract desires, agreed? So this must mean that when you have a desire (a thought), the energy is sent out into "the universe", this is where it gets tricky for me.... what lines things up? Seriously think about it. We all know this works but how? Steve says consciousness makes this work and I agree. I believe the energy is “God” and “God” is our collective consciousness. To me, this then means that my actions are not necessarily coming from my own thoughts, because if you have desire for something, and I am the person who can manifest that desire for you, then this "consciousness" puts thoughts in my head to allow me to bring you your desire. This thinking helped my understand the concept that we are all "one" and connected. We are all linked through our mind or sub-conscious via this energy.

In Christianity and other religions, there is a belief in a personal God. The one "being" that created and judges us. Could consciousness be that one God? I was brought up Christian and while I value some of the beliefs I have a problem with the dogma and doctrines. However, is it possible that collectively our consciousness is one "God"? After all, our consciousness has the intelligence to manifest desires. Our consciousness has to evaluate all situations and events to line-up future events to manifest your desires. It acts as an independent observer of everything around us. As if all of our minds create one large mind that thinks independently. Which could be described as one “God”. This could be any God of various religions around the world. I know a lot people don’t like the using the term God, please replace it what ever you prefer, my point is not prove an existence in God, but rather to try to explain if there is single entity is that orchestrates the LoA.

The reason random events lead me down this path was for all of this to happen, wouldn't every single possible event have to be orchestrated? A random event would be like God/Universe saying “I’ll just let that even slide and see what happens”. What may appear to someone as random, is likely a step towards a manifestation of someone’s desire.

Any thoughts on this? Should I check myself into an institution? I’ve either come to a higher understanding, or ready to move into cardboard box on the street.

Thanks
