I am sorry. I seriously do not understand what this is supposed to mean. One idea can most certainly be boiled down to a single statement. I mean, that's the goal of language, right? And nobody restricted anybody to one statement. You wrote a lot of statements. My interpretation of which mirrored Judge's.

The law of attraction is real but it is not the only law at work. God is the absolute law since He is in control of all things He is the one who has created the law. We cannot go above law or alter it - we can only use it - thus I believe we are not God. We cannot create natural law, we cannot change natural law. We are not the power, we cannot be the power, we are simply users of the power.
Letting go of your blocks in your mind and truly believing is important. But just because you believe and you've taken some action, that doesn't mean you are going to get whatever you want. |
How is Judge's interpretation wrong? You are clearly stating that there is a superior being ruling over us all and separate from us. "I believe we are NOT god." That part, there. That's the part that led me to believe that you thought we are separate from god and "God is the absolute law since He is in control of all things" led me to believe that you thought we are subject to the rule of this separate god. What I got out of your post was that god lends us his LOA powers to a limited extent, but that he retains the right to veto any of our choices that don't work with his master plan.
If that isn't right, what did you mean?
