 What is the purpose of the LoA?
One lesson I remember vividly from my school days came out of a biology lesson. The teacher stated that, in Biology, structure is always related to function. Something is designed the way it is, not by accident, but based upon its specific function and purpose.
So, turning to the LoA - we know (more or less) how it works. We know what it does. The million dollar question is: keeping mindful of the meaning and purpose of life, what is the function of the LoA, based on how it works?
Put another way, knowing it works the way it does (a 'magnet' oriented by your beliefs, thoughts, attitudes, etc) - what, therefore might its intended purpose be in the context of the meaning of life?
For me, its an important question. I see so many people trying to invoke the LoA willy-nilly for whatever takes their fancy. But how many people have stopped to really consider what the point of LoA actually is?
I'm not claiming I have the answer. I've also used the LoA for some of my own fanciful whims. But I think there is a deeper meaning and purpose to it, and I think it would be worthwhile applying some of the impressive brainpower in this site to uncovering what it is.
