To take away the possessions before you are divine is just resiting your nature and, I feel, making it harder to become divine because you are forcing yourself into something that you don't want to do which creates inner turmoil.

So you're saying we should give in to all our earthly desires until some point we reach some kind of enlightment? Well you'd be mightily gratified to learn that a lot of people in America agree with you! In America right now, approximately 70% of the population is either obese or overweight. Are you now going to argue that being obese is far better for these people than to suffer some inner turmoil by forcing themselves to control their desire for food?

Why spend life trying to avoid and resist 'temptation' and instead just cap yourself now to make the whole process a heck of a lot shorter and less painful.
|
Why? Well because one finds that avoiding temptation leads to healthy body, mind and soul, and, generally, a more pleasant and meaningful existence. So why would I want to "cap myself"?

If you refuse to do more than the absolute minimum with your life, you are quite frankly an ungrateful git.

I think you'll find that the people arguing against LOA tend to be the people who are most supportive of taking ACTION in their lives. And people who take action generally tend to make quite a bit of their lives.
And, in conclusion, a final quote, if I may: "There, but for the Grace of God, go I". This means that if you were born in anyone else's shoes - you would be that person, and you would do no better than they did. Thus do we learn not to judge others - even if we do think they are a "git".
