Well at first they do seem incompatible. But at least as far as the Abraham stuff, what does it say? Feel good, now (be present).
I think the war on ego may be misperceived. People associate ego with identity. So to say you're destroying the ego to some (and I thought this as well) means to destroy your identity. But you can't destroy the real self that is behind the thinking. You're not destroying your real self... you're destroying the pattern of habitual thinking and worrying, and the constant focus on tomorrow or yesterday.
Creation is in the present moment. Even if your intention will most likely manifest tomorrow, next week, next year, whatever... it has to be real to you RIGHT NOW, and you have to believe it's real, right now. And you can't feel it's real, now, if your thoughts are on tomorrow.
So you may enjoy watching those webcasts on oprah, the interesting thing is that they have callers who ask these same questions so it's much more of a "real world" type discussion.
