Thanks for the link. It makes it easier to point out the distinctions/contradictions:

When you enjoy the present moment, the future outcome is not of primary importance.

This is in total alignment with LoA - detachment and art of allowing.

Ego induced activities reduce the present moment to a means to an end and are therefore stressful and ultimately frustrating.

This goes against the idea that we should "enjoy the ride" on the way to manifestation and "ultimately frustrating" seems like a very pessimistic way of seeing things. Why is it ultimately frustrating? Because once you get where you want to be (manifestation) a new desire will arise and you'll never be satisfied? Well, that contradicts Abraham Hicks teachings entirely. "You can never get it right and you'll never get it done". I personally enjoy the ever renewing desires. To me, this is not stressful or frustrating at all. I actually find it really exciting! Or my egoic perspective does.
