This sounds like if IM fails for you in some way, you are OK with that.

To be blunt - in a proven-to-be-material-only world there would truly be nothing for me, and so I would be eager to die, to end the cruel illusion. I could do a whole thread just on that, but it's not why I'm here, so I will continue to see if I can purge that part of my psyche along with all the unwanted, unneeded rest.

This sounds like if IM ideas fail, you are not interested in life anymore.
Which is it?
Purging your psyche is exactly what it's all about, imho. and that is the foundation for IM (as well as feeling whole, etc...). And once you have gone through and cleaned up your subconscious, there might be less "need" to do IM.
It's a little scary to hear you say this eager to die part. It almost seems like you have put your eggs into the one basket of these LoA ideas and have a very strong need, a life or death struggle, for this to be true for you. Like when people fall in love, they will say "I can't live without you". However, isn't one of the LoA ideas to not be so attached? I know, it's irony or paradox. But to need LoA to work for you might be a blocking thing that is part of that purge that you are going through.
