Now where was I? Ah yes, somewhere around here:

So for instance suppose Tom's intention is to own a BMW convertible. Dick's intention is to become a more loving parent or start a successful business. Harry's intention is to help the poor; or save the dolphins. Kanzeon's intention is to compel old ladies, against their own wishes, to live in places that they do not want to live in.

Now, we can all sit around and make value judgments about each person's intention. We may say, for example, that "This is a rather shallow intention" or "That intention is very noble", and "This is a misguided intention" etc. And we may have good reasons or bad reasons for saying so.

My point here is that the LOA doesn't tell you what specific intentions Tom, Dick, Harry or Kanzeon should have. What the LOA does say is that they will create their own realities according to their own thoughts. Whatever doubts, fears, hopes, convictions, clarity, confusion, colours and shapes their ever-changing thoughts may have, this will be perfectly reflected in their ever-changing reality.

So from this, the LOA teaches us the following lesson:

Be totally responsible for your own thoughts

If you choose to place your mental focus on BMW convertibles and other things of that sort, then you get certain kinds of corresponding consequences. If you place your focus on love, or business, or helping the poor; or saving the dolphins; or compelling old ladies to do things against their free will, then in each case you attract certain kinds of corresponding consequences too.

Similarly, you may place your focus on love; or spiritual growth; or compassion; or on attacking faceless strangers on Internet forums , in each case - you will create a certain kind of reality for yourself.

So - the big question is - what do you wish to place your focus on? What kind of reality would you wish to create for yourself?
