If not ego, what motivates us to change the vibrational wave we're currently riding? (or virtual datastream depending on guru)

I have never heard anyone both mention dissolving the ego and law of attraction at the same time. They are two different thought systems and I don't believe they are compatible with eachother. The law of attraction people usually hold the ego important and try to change their reality consciously to get what they want by changing their thoughts and making them more positive. For example there are the Seth books by a channeled entity called Seth which mention the ego is important and the whole thing is about creating and expanding your own life and evolving as an individual self and that concepts like Nirvana which dissolve the individual self are dangerous.

Those who talk about enlightenment believe the ego is a false self, an illusion, so it's best to surrender and identify with your true self so you'll choose what happens in your life automatically based on your higher perspective rather than a conscious choice. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj for example said that much like he doesn't chose to digest his food or breathe or circulate his blood, his whole life just happened automatically like that, outside his conscious control after he became enlightened. They also believe what the ego wants is unimportant, because it doesn't have a clear perspective and comes from lack.
