Likewise, I don't have much respect for the "don't worry, be happy" ("Buck up!") school of thought, because it's just slapping a band-aid on an upsetting thought; it's not taking on a new, inspiring way of being or thinking, so I would just be holding onto old pain in my habitual old way, and covering it up.

You know, Angela, that is the problem that I am having with the Hicks' way of LOA. I am not "naturally" happy, so I just can't turn it on at will. Their Emotional Guidance Scale seems too simplistic sometimes. Or maybe that is just my old way of thinking rearing it's ugly head? I think that the more that I think about this, the more confused I get.
