Manifestation or Spirituality development?

Both? In the search for internal spiritual truth I have found an increased ability to manifest whatever I wish. This isn't a separation of anything and there needn't be a separation of the two.

This is a case where you can have your cake and eat it too if you play your cards right. Don't isolate your vision to just one side if having both at once is just as easily attained.

Actually I wanted to expand on this -

yes the mindset is important - but you still have to do ACTION to make it happen.

Unless you are willing to do something, you won't get there.

Even winning the lottery, you need to put the effort of buying a ticket.

Anyone I know who has been able to pull in over $50,000 a month swears by that.

Very true.

Sometimes it blows my mind when things seem to
'work itself out' with little to no involvement of my
own.

And if I am involved in the process, I 'start' it, but
rarely finish it. And if I start and finish it I'm guided
along the away.

I know it's my inner-spirit working side-by-side
with my physical self to help me accomplish my
goals.

I learned that when you let go of any outcome and
you focus on the goal at hand, the outcome works
itself out....even when things appear to turn sour.

A big part of this is not being afraid.

Afraid of failure...

...but more importantly, afraid of success.

That cute girl down the grocery aisle? She said,
"No?" Cool. No biggie. I KNOW another one is
going to catch my eye and we're going to click.

That new business opportunity you've been
thinking about? Didn't work out like you imagined?
You have NO fear...another opportunity shows
up seemingly out of nowhere and sets you financially
free.

In both cases you didn't give up, but you don't
hold a tight grip on what's not working.

You're opening your hand releasing the baggage
to allow the good to come into your life.

It's not an easy process.

You're going to slip up. You WILL make mistakes.
But you can sleep at night. You after what you
wanted and regardless if it pans out or does well
you sleep with a smile on your face.

Atleast I know I do every night

I don't know why you want to write in bright blue, but I want you to know when you do you eliminate some readers. I can't read that unless I copy and paste it into another program. Not everyone has perfect vision, especially many of us older folks. Thanks.

There are also many instances of this in many religions.

In wicca, the horned god shows two hands. The first is "white magic" while the other is "black magic". Basically anything for selfish materialistic reasons fall under the category of black.

It's also found in buddhism. The first is nirvana, the second is annihilation or samsara. Materialistic "magic" falls under destruction of the soul.

It's found in many religions though I wouldnt agree that Satan is the 2nd path in christianity. Satan is a metaphor - of a being that fell from God (aka fallen angel) or it's a personalisation of the 2nd hand path

This is probably a disguised question so that non-religious people can pick a choice. : )
