1. Suffering exists
2. Suffering arises from attachment to desires
3. Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases
4. Freedom from suffering is possible by practicing the Eighthfold path = ( Path to Nirvana)

      Think about it this way in terms of LOA...
1. The suffering you currently have is because you are so attached or fixated on your love and wanting them back, or any other desire you're suffering because you are wanting and needing something.
2.  Your suffering is caused by the wanting, lack, and neediness of a person, or object
3. Your suffering fades away when you're no longer attached to the outcome of your desire
4. You then start to free yourself from the suffering and pain ( Crying, needy, wanting, not able to let go, etc..) by entering a path to Nirvana  through practicing the steps of the Eigthfold path in order to get to Nirvana ( State of Enlightenment)

Eighthfold path:
1. Right understanding- I am skipping this one for a good reason, Even though Buddha teaches methods to experience reality and non - reality, but for the purpose of my point I am skipping this step, because this first step is to see reality as it is and not what we believe it to be. 

2. Right Intent- When you become committed to the path, having persistent and passion for the journey, with the right intent and understanding you will then remove your desire, because your journey isn't about your desire at all it is about YOU so when you come to a realization that this is about YOU and having the understanding of LOA will help guide you in entering the vortex ( In Buddhisms Eighthfold path it is one of the steps in reaching Nirvana)

So when you first begin your LOA journey ask yourself if you are ready and willing to be committed. The path and journey is the most important, because you begin to find yourself, and to love yourself unconditionally. 

3. Right speech- Don't underestimate the power of the spoken word, be mindful and aware of the words you say to yourself, or anyone else because it is a conversation with the universe. Say positive things to yourself and others. 

4. Right Action-  Take an ethical approach in life, take consideration to other and the world we live in. By being respectful and appreciative you will attract more in return. For example: In my situation that happened last week for helping when me and some family members were in a time of trouble a homeless man helped without wanting anything else in return, so for his act of kindness he got rewarded $16. It was the right thing to do and he was considerate which lead him to receive something in return. Also I will shortly receive something in return too ( Good Karma) for offering him extra money

5.Right Effort- Having enthusiasm and positive attitude in a balanced way. Only welcome in your good thoughts, and leave behind the jealousy and anger

6. Right Mindfulness- Be aware of the moments while you are on your path, and aware of your actions. By being aware of your actions you will see how your patterns and habits control you whether good or bad, and also will allow you to see how fears of possible futures limit present actions.

7. Right concentration- Once you can declutter your mind you will effortlessly concentrate to achieve whatever is desired. Also releasing yourself from past pains and not worrying about the HOW, and WHEN takes you even closer to freedom from being attached, because you know it will show up in your physical reality.

 Nirvana meaning all your desires and sufferings go away, and once they go away you reach Nirvana ( The state of Enlightenment) With LOA when you are vibrating high, and one with yourself and source you will reach the Vortex, so in a way similar to Nirvana, so if you achieve those steps you wil reach a state of enlightenment. With LOA the Vortex can be seen as like entering enlightenment, because you are vibrating high/ being a vibrational match to desire

I know I skipped some of the 8 fold path steps, and there are different meanings, but I did it in a LOA way. Kinda using it as an example of how I can see how some of the paths relate to LOA
