Con men use the same logic.
Here's the thing with these roundabout justifications:
An example:
If you are a person who owns a business and in your personal life, you never pay your bills on time, the dentist has taken you to collection, you resent him and feel he unfairly billed you, it's not your fault, he's ruining your credit....But then when karma gives you the same thing back insofar as your own customers aren't paying their bills, you are having to spend all this extra money taking them to collection....you are pissed off at them and you just cannot see the connection. I have a friend like this.
What goes around,
always comes around. Law of karma.
If you have to even begin to formulate a justification for any action you take such as this book thing, you probably chose poorly and it will only be a matter of time before you are stolen from, in some fashion.
You aren't in the right mindset to truly manifest. But the universe and your higher self are laughing over drinks about the lesson they are trying to teach you that WILL get you in the right frame of mind to manifest. If you are open to the lesson.
In fact, if you did think it was all plucking flowers, a ok and justifiable...why did you start a thread to ask our opinion of it?
