Hey, moonrambler. I look at it this way: it's like eating ice cream.
Every time I've eaten ice cream, with a few exceptions, I've enjoyed it tremendously. I'm pretty sure someone somewhere has some kind of a natural world explanation for why that is, and that's fine -- that's their game, and that's something they enjoy tremendously. I enjoy natural world explanations, too, but it's not so important to me in the case of subjective reality, although it's not hard to imagine that it might be someday.
Meanwhile, it's possible that I could eat some ice cream and not enjoy it thoroughly. That time I tasted coffee crunch, for example, and also the time I re-filed ice cream in the same part of my brain that I keep frozen yogurt. Yechh. It would be possible to say, "I don't like eating ice cream" and with the perspective of these examples, it would certainly be true. And as a way of operating in a life I love, "I enjoy eating ice cream" works really well for me -- and it works well to use that mode responsibly. I wouldn't, for instance, want to eat nothing but ice cream, or talk about it all day long. You could say that eating ice cream is one tool among many that I use in getting the results I want in the human game.
I'm not interested in proving to anyone that I enjoy eating ice cream, because I recognize that it's a subjective experience, but I do enjoy sharing things that work well for me, so I'm likely to offer you a bite of my cone, or recommend chocolate mousse royale from 31 flavors, because maybe you'd like it, too. Especially if you come onto a forum thread and ask, "why would anyone enjoy eating ice cream? what's that all about? is it healthy and ecological? I don't think it's a good choice because dairy is bad for you. know of any alternatives? what's your favorite flavor?"
That's a good metaphor for my using subjective reality or the law of attraction. I've noticed it works really well in my life, and I like to share it with people who are genuinely interested. Plenty of people would like to have a taste, and plenty of people are not interested, and plenty of people say, "Hey, you shouldn't be eating that!" And that's all fine with me.
