There must be a duality type of situation here with being identified with the ego and operating as an isolated self and considering everything outside of one's self as "other"/not me versus (or in tandem/duality with) being the consciousness of all that is. When one tries to reject the ideas of subjective reality with the separate ego thoughts, it's like looking for light particles with equipment that detects waves. If one says "I should be able to control it all since I am creating it all" - the first part "I should be able to control" is language that fits the separate ego world - but the second part "since I am creating it all" is comming from being one with the conscious universe of all. Of coarse many spritual writings say the separate self is an illusion and also the source of suffering.

I tend to think it's really hard to comprehend what being one with everything is, that our brains and limited persceptions of frequencies and senses can not show us the whole picture by any means. We can not really think about it or have words for it. (the Tao that can be named is not the Tao) When you meditate or have a really present in the now moment you can feel like being part of the whole.

IM/LoA sounds like it is from the view of being one with everything, not being separate and being the one of everything that is. Our ego concept of infinity doesn't even touch what "all that is" is. So the intentions of our selves come from our vibes across a spectrum we have an impossible time grasping but the more we focus and intend positivity or harmony the closer we are in alignment with the big picture anyway. At least that's what I say: that the big "all that exists" works best with harmony, not dissanance, so intending harmony is more flowing and natural. The dissanance response of the universe is some sort of friction and illusion of being seprate from all that is - which is some sort of suffering.
