Finally can post now.
I noticed, or experienced something. As much as I talk about LOA and belief and all, I myself am guilty of not practicing it with focus, yes I've upheld faith for about a year now, faith in myself or faith in things for good.
To remedy this, I began to actually, again as I had, practice LOA, properly. Ive been doing it for a while, and I have to say, coming at with insights I have now, changes my perspective on things, makes them clearer and gives me to trust more.
Every night i begin with prayer, not to any deity but prayer itself, not to beg, this is important, when you beg you solidify your position, and I find that naturally when I pray at night, I am unable to beg, since I can feel that is not what I want. Prayer starts with acknowledgement, gratitude, then actually seeing and feeling what I am grateful for, and to continue this until sleep comes.
Usually people get confused, how much do I need to imagine? details? wish fullfiled? ??? It's all a mess to them, and it is for me too sometimes. Almost no one persists in prayer and visualization, or to change who they are everyday. Most people, continue to read about LOA, Neville, over and over, and find no change.
I experienced something wonderful regarding a particular thing, what I imagine, as Ive done it for a few days, with focus and sincerity every night, its flavour has changed, It no longer feels the same object, and I think if you actually engulf yourself mentally at night, and genuinely live in the object of desire at night, you will see that it no longer, slowly, is unapproachable, it is no longer out of reach, slowly.
I've decided thus to not read or engage in material, in my day time I work on things and forget about it, which has been a blessing, the desire itself is almost, inconsequential, it no longer produces fear or anxiety or anything.
I think I might be onto something, and so I wanted to share it to a few anons whom I know love to engage in this practice. Avoid the trap of information, and try practicing it.

I cannot tell you exactly "what" has changed. Its hard to describe. I reckon itll change more, but I no longer feel a sense of worry, or reaching, reaching for anxious ways to quell my mind, reaching for proof or comfort.
I think its a sign if you reach for these things you're not practicing anything yet.
Also I had a few massive practical realizations about masturbation. I dont want to give these too much weight since Id hate to feed into the cesspit that is "nofap" but I realized that masturbation or the desire to turn away and engage in doom scrolling, general pleasure seeking (esp during SATs) is mainly a symptom of fear and distraction.
