Yes, LOA is something that just is. Just like physics or biology if we are to accept that it is indeed a principle of law. You certainly don't need to understand the physics behind gravity to live off fruit that falls out of a tree, nor do you need to understand molecular biology to grow enough food to support yourself.
But thanks to a few people who said that observing and benefitting from the natural behavior of those laws is not enough -- understanding is wherein lies the potential to develop beyond what we have imagined, we ended up with the scientific method, to which we owe our entire lifestyle.
So is it enough to say that recognizing a principle is sufficient and that we don't need to use our capacity to understand and refine in order to better apply the principle? And maybe it is, if you're just thinking about how you use it to get what you want. But how good can this really be if we only understand it in terms of what <i>I</i> want? Unbridled narcissism is harmful to culture. I can't look at the world and believe that anything I can manifest for myself amounts to any value to the world outside my own mind.
When I see the LOA, all I see is the universe telling us how to change the world -- if we can only get over ourselves. Think about Steve's million dollar experiment. Imagine deeply understanding the dynamics of collective manifestation and applying it to poverty, hunger, war. Until we understand how to overcome oppression and aggression and bring about a new world, all the accumulation we can conceive is worthless. |
