You can call it what you want. The Universal Creative Force or whatever. Words are powerful but they're just pointers.

- Petitioning an unseen Source over and over for the same things when you "believe" it answers your every prayer.
- Screaming your "belief" system as loud, insistently and offensively as possible in order to forcibly convince others of your subjective persuasion.
