Why do we pretend we need to make affirmations and LoA and we need hard work and self-discipline and all the other things we've all read about.. why do we pretend we need these and then in the same breath talk about infinity?

That's an Important point; how we learned words in a limiting context. Of course, ultimately, ALL Language is limiting especially in the context of this subject.
I think we still "buy into" Affirmations,Visualizations etc, because a part of us either
A) LIKES this phase 1 game (even with all it's Drama...)
B) Is afraid of what would REALLY happen if we "let go" (I think the answer for me is that my sweet ego would have to die, and that reality is unimaginable perhaps)
I currently use these teachings the way Byron Katie uses the work: Only when I experience
Stressful thoughts do I need the Busting Loose truth. When I'm feeling good, well...I'm feeling good, so what's the problem?
So these days,I go in and out of Phase 1 & 2, walking between worlds....for now, that works for me, until it doesn't
Peace,
