Hi Mandy,
Thank you for contributing to this board and for your provocative post.
We could say that the "Law" (call it God, Universe, Lord, Spirit, Quantum Field, Formless Substance, whatever) does not care what you want. You are correct. The law is impersonal.
To best explain this, I would like to offer excerpts below from the work of one of my teachers and his late wife. This may shed light and give answers to your question...
One of my own personal teachers, Champion K. Teutsch, PhD, together with his late wife, Joel Marie Teutsch, became famous when they authored, "From Here to Greater Happiness or How to Change Your Life for Good", which permanently changed for good the lives of hundreds of thousands of grateful readers all over the world.

Later, Joel Marie Teutsch’s masterful presentation entitled "Your Right to Perfect Health: Mental and Spiritual Healing Principles and Champion K. Teutsch’s Non-Medical Answers to Cancer, Heart Disease and Other Conditions", included professional secrets of this pioneer couple and outstanding success stories.
When I was sought him out, Champion had his practice here in Los Angeles, in the same highrise where my office was located (interesting "coincidence"). At the time, he was chair of the International Human Research Center "Sunray" in Moscow (a renowned psychology professor at Moscow State University was president and a physicist formerly with the Soviet space program was vice-president). Champion was also chair of a similar organization in Tel Aviv, Israel and was also honored by our government and many others. He was certifying professionals and qualified lay persons in the US, Russia, Isreal and other countries as practitioners of his methodology.
After a lecture and demonstration, he was appointed visiting professor of medicine by the former dean of the University of Florida’s College of Medicine. The dean resigned shortly after meeting Champion to devote his energies to alternative or complementary medicine.
I just discovered that Champion made his transition a few months ago, and understand there have been memorial services held in many countries.
Here are excerpts from the writings of his wife, Joel Marie, in the second book they co-authored, mentioned above:
[Excerpts]
Universal Intelligence
"When we understand that this universal mind fills the universe, we can then picture it as a great surrounding ocean of mind in which we are submerged and upon which we draw. This mind is subjective or subconscious. That is, it has no power of choice but must be directed into action. It is highly intelligent and has all the knowledge of the universe within it, but it is not reasoning mind. It knows one thing, that is to move where it is directed, much the same as the mathematical principle. We use it, we direct it, and we get the answers according to what type of math we have put together into directing certain answers to be received.
Law as Servant
"Music vehicles reproduce music. Light vehicles reproduce light. Heat vehicles reproduce heat and so on. So in like manner does the law of mind respond to the intelligent use of its power. Its creative force is thrown in any direction one wishes, the only requirement being that the laws of its action be observed. We shall learn what these laws are in a later chapter, but is it sufficient to say at this time that the individual must keep in mind that there is at this very moment of flood of universal power dedicated to his use awaiting his choice, his words and his actions, and it is entirely subservient to his wishes. Moreover, he does not have to pray to it. He does not have to ask it, plead with it, agonize over it.
"He has merely to recognize it and to know within himself (herself) that it is his for the enlarging of his life, his health, his happiness, and his prosperity as long as the laws of mind are obeyed.
"Now I wish to stop for a moment and call your attention to this statement: the laws of the particular mind in which you choose to reproduce a state of life or living for yourself. Having said that this law need not be approached with fear or awe, since it is a natural law, not a person, we can go on to say that while it is impersonal, it also has intelligence. It has no wishes of its own. It is entirely neutral. It is ready at man's behest to grant his creative power whatsoever he asks, and yet it has no more self consciousness than the law of electricity.
"No one knows how to put the fragrance in a single flower. Yet this mind is touching a billion flowers daily with its magic wand and distilling their subtle essences into perfume from the soil, water, air and sunlight. Man boasts of the discoveries he makes. This law of mind knows them all before he gropes his faltering way towards them. This law of mind knows how every successful business is built. It knows in exact detail just what is needed to turn ideas into cash. It knows how to take a sick business and make it well. Or how to take a defeated life and turn it into a masterpiece. It does not have to reason. It knows.
"Already it has the knowledge man needs to lift him out of every limiting circumstance and flood his life with good. But it never offers or forces its service. It awaits recognition and use of its laws. This is the reason for one of the tragedies of life. For man has to discover for himself that he has a powerful ally ready and able to take him to the place where he wants to be. Yet for all practical purposes, it is not there until he discovers it and uses it. Man is on a journey of self-discovery. The old theory that God takes pity on man, steps in and reveals himself when man is at the end of his resources is no longer acceptable or tenable.
"There is no limit set by infinite mind. Man can go as far as he wishes or stay where he is. The only limiting factor is man himself. If he continues to shiver in the cold, whimpering and complaining, that is his right as a free agent. But he can pick himself up and make his way to the warm glow of the eternal fire and enter into a life that contains all the elements of happiness.
Man's Responsibility
"No one else will or can do it for him. Even God will not do it for him. It is his job, and his alone. On his voyage of self-discovery he is the captain of his ship and, therefore, solely responsible for making harbor. Man's responsibility is to choose his destination. The motor power to bring him there is furnished by impersonal law. Only when he grasps this fundamental thought will he be prepared to relinquish his own unaided efforts and to rely upon this cosmic mind to keep the engines running while he steers the ship. Just as impersonally as a ship's engineer responds to proper direction, so does the universal law of mind respond to man's conscious direction.
[End of excerpts]
So, Mandy, I hope this explains why I agree that the Universe does not care about what you want. What you want is indeed YOUR choice. It is the job of the Universe to respond to your direction and bring you what you want.
Now in and of itself, a pair of boots means very little in the cosmic scheme of things, doesn't it? But the law, the formula that brings that pair of boots is the very same law that brings the car, the house, the job, the money, the business, the relationship, the healing, the creative expression, the scientific discovery, the invention, the ideas that change the world.
I tell my students that when one learns to use the law correctly (meaning to use is to manifest what you want, instead of unconsciously using it to manifest what you don't want, as most people do), the size of the manifestation does not matter. What matters is that you have learned how to use the law. What matters is that the law is working! And once you learn to use it, you can apply it to anything in life that you want - for your personal benefit or for the benefit of mankind. The more you use it, the more you get results, the more confident you become in applying it to larger and larger demonstrations.
Manifesting boots may seem to you and others a very insignificant demonstration. I can understand if one feels that way, as you probably have been able to fit into shoes normally which has not been my experience. But you are missing the whole point of my post. My post was not really about boots. Truly, boots are the least important item on the agenda of my life at this moment. My post was about the use of the law in order to create, to manifest something we want. The post was about the responsiveness of universal mind to my direction and my request. The post was about moving with the flow of direction once we have a set intention. THAT is what the post is about.
If one person can draw from that post the nuances that help them to manifest something in their life they desire and set them on the path to change their life through the proper use of their mind, then those boots have served a great purpose indeed. And I have done my job as a teacher.
