Yeah, this is interesting analysis. I find it hard to accept that the Universe and/or God is listening and responding to each and every 6 billion souls on this planet and any other billion sentient beings elsewhere (possibly more billions). Which completely deflates half of the equation in this LOA thinking. Back to the Christian "faith" which provides the comforting blanket that the psyche needs to cope with being here. I know for many that's a pretty radical statement to evaluate - since we are so primed in the human condition that something above us is caring/helping/guiding/serving.

Also I totally agree, the subconscious I feel is operating in a whole other basis of sentience - and it's the limitation of the consciousness that keeps us "on the runway" ready for takeoff but cannot - so to speak.
