Hey everyone. My basic feeling is that believing in the LoA and using it will produce an exciting, amazing life when you properly get into it. So many times i think about what counts as evidence. I don't think physical evidence can really count because there's so much leeway, in terms of what manifests and when, and so many intentions "change" or bring about unexpected results. In other words, consistent, specific manifestations will be very difficult or impossible to achieve across the board.

Perhaps the evidence can only be how it changes your life, if it makes you happier, a better person, if you feel more connected and so on. And what other changes it brings in other areas of your internal experiences
I think scientific experiments will always decide it to be false, but perhaps the deepening of your experiences will be enough of a reason? In this vein, perhaps the best way to "falsify" it would be a documentary or case studies on people who have suffered due to believing in it, for example being a precusor to mental illness, or people getting ripped off by "spiritualists."

That would be a dangerous and quite horrible way to villify the LoA tho! Lol i'm not advocating that, I just thought about what counted as evidence, i.e. positive experiences, enrichment of life, and then what the opposite would be.

in fact, im beginning to see the LoA as an internal growth process. Like call and response in a guitar solo. Or like a wave that oscillates, and when it the internal validation comes back a bigger signal can be sent out. Its a non-provable thing, but the proof is in the pudding i guess could you prove a cake is sweet if nobody had tasted sugar? And if somebody told you it isn't sweet but you tasted it, would you believe them? i guess the LoA is more like perceiving colours than provable facts?
