Stoicism and loa overlap in the sense of keeping a handle on your thoughts, emotions, and generally being outcome detached from the 3D. However at the root, stoicism keeps you detached because you can't change the outside, only the inside. It's like a big cope. The same theme comes through in Buddhism too. With loa, you practice detachment from 3D outcomes *because* you control both the internal *and* external reality. The mechanism of internal control (mental diet) triggers the external changes themselves, as well as helping you cope in the wait for the manifestation. With loa, you may (depending) need to wait, so you detach in the meantime. With Stoicism you don't wait, just detach because you will not get it. As far as reconciling them, maybe take pointers from how they go about controlling their thoughts and emotions, but in substance Stoicism is kinda powerless compared to the loa
