Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

If you want truly authentic British food then the national dish is now chicken tikka masala! How times have changed! Good luck with the mushy peas.

Agreed - a lot of anecdotal evidence with a lot of variety. But I do not dismiss anecdotal evidence, as that is the best we currently have.

Given the number of people who report being told very clearly in their NDE that it is not yet their time and they have to return to their physical body, it does suggest that there is a pre-ordained time of death for each one of us. Or perhaps there are more than one possible times of exit, which is why some people are given a choice to stay or leave in their NDE, and either choice is OK.

Peace

Yes summer is toasty in AZ - been there, done that - but the fall is what I had in mind.

We're following the news reports about floods and wildfires and it's a grim summer - again. Grim conditions look like becoming the norm - not just in the USA but worldwide. But that's off-topic so I'll stop here......

When I read your original post I was a bit unsure about how you were applying the LOA to dying. Maybe others are also uncertain. The LOA is all about resonance, so regarding where we might go after physical death then resonance does seem to apply. We find ourselves in whichever astral realm resonates with our own spiritual/mental/emotional vibration. And we progress from there.

I don't automatically dismiss or discount anecdotes but neither do I take them as guidance.

I've discussed and debated the notion of so-called exit points over on ALF but I've been unable to find authoritative guidance how they work if they exist at all the way it's supposed.

I draw a different conclusion from the example you cite, though, but mine is just as much conjecture as anyone else's conclusion. There is so much that's not known and perhaps much coming from incarnates' personal interpretation - misinterpretation? - of unsubstantiated detail.

Scientific laws apply to me just as they apply to everyone but the so-called Law of Attraction is what I call a principle.
LoA is the silly meme of karma. We just kept the 'everything you want' part and removed all the rest.

Since an overwhelming majority die without returning, we only have access to a minority sample, and have no control group.

just one more belief

Just for fun - I live a boring life - I took a quick look online to rsearch where this so-called law originated, what it's supposed to mean, how it's supposed to operate. My conclusion? It's a concoction, it's down to personal ideas and beliefs, it isn't - as I said earlier - a law at all; in short it's a mish-mash of notions.

Laws are man made arbitrary rules, anything else might be at best observations someone made within this reality, and those observations most likely could not be made in an other reality. Perhaps yes most likely not.
This does not answer the original question, which I don't understand at all.
My apologies.
