And neither is he talking about intelligence in general, but a specific kind of spiritual intelligence, which, like he said, was not really valid as a concept.

Natural advantages doesn't belong in the termology for manifestation, I think. What does it mean to have a natural advantage to manifest? Aren't we all perfectly manifesting what ever it is that we are attracting wheather we are conscious of it or not? Isn't each one of our lives exactly and perfectly unfolding and manifesting as to our unique expressions? Isn't that one of the precepts of manifestation - that we all are perfect and created equal in a spiritual sense?

I don't get what you say is my "all or nothing" thinking.

The other assumption you're making is that he's talking about a Judeo-Christian-Muslim idea of spirituality.

I don't see that assumption either, sorry. I likened the posts to Christains saying you are damned unless you believe what I do. Becuase to present information to the OP or MrsCogan that says maybe it's because you don't have the natural aptitude, is kind of what a Christain would tell a non-Christian. I just don't think that helps someone checking out LoA to say there's something that maybe you don't have that others do. Why put a comparison/judgement on it?

He is right about one thing, though, doing well with the LoA does require a lot of intrapersonal insight, whether you are predisposed to it or you develop it, doesn't really matter much.

Doing well with LoA is not up for judgement. How do you judge LoA if all it is doing is giving you what your vibe is? Maybe the way to address this idea is it's not LoA but how much someone "raises their vibration". But raising your vibration is not to be compared either or we are creating an us/them or a heirarchy. We should be trying to dispell heirarchies and exclusiveness thinking when going on about spiritual pursuits.

Anyway, I sound confused, I know that. I just don't like to hear LoA or manifesting is not going to "work" for some. Or maybe no one here said that and I'm just projecting something onto you guys.
