I think that I-M practice (formulating and focusing on intentions in a regular way) , awareness of LoA (understanding that attention to the positive brings more positive, attention to the negative brings more negative), recognition of what's useful, growing, ready to grow, positive around us, and hard work is a really great combination!
I also do not think that "I-M practice" and "awareness of LoA", as I have just put these things, resides only in this conceptualization. These ideas come up in all sorts of ways, in all sorts of disciplines, in religions, spiritual teachings, self help, personal development and in more focused areas (such as in learning music, learning a language, training in sports or other physical training, dietary/sleep/exercise disciplines, and so on. Maybe we are just comprehensively describing the components of a positive attitude here.....
I agree, Songwriter that a difference here from many religions--now as well as earlier--is that we aren't hearing people say that I-M is the "only thing that's true" I've always felt that to be a major weakness in religious thought and far different from personal spiritual experience which can come from the same religious background.
