And there are many more definitions than those two.
I have noticed the same thing and have the same problem...and this in part leads me to conclude that it doesn't really mean anything and is just a phrase used randomly by different people to mean different things. Personally I liken it to the reticular activating system...but in that case I don't know why people don't just call it the reticular activating system. The idea that you attract things rather than simply see things seems to be where people get stuck. I certainly don't subscribe to the idea of LoA as put forward in The Secret. But then I think a sense of the mystical is important for some people and maybe that is the most important thing to them.
