That is, the belief that setting your physical actions will manifest a desired physical reality. It’s about as materialistic as you can get, and has nothing to do with “waking-up”.

As you have said yourself many times; the Law of Attraction is thousands of years old. This modern re-interpretation is just a case of keeping people asleep with dis-information.

Whoa, a whole load of points and ideas all put together there! I see what you are getting at – but most of those ideas could do with a bit of separation. I will try and reply as best I can:

I tend to believe that questions might be enough as the answer is usually within them. Don't think there is a default brain-washing. Although rarely can we say that one is awake at an early age or stage of life. If so, then one has great difficulties in expressing the state of being awake. There seems to be a need for effort in order to get creative in this. I am curious what do you think on the role of effort. You see, there is this lawofattraction obsession these days... Sleep-living: yes. Not just susceptible, I'd rather say it as a fact. Regarding waking up, that is relative. What do you consider waking up? Getting out of the sleep-living is one. Even realizing the sleep-living is a form of waking up. Good post, good questions!
