I haven't said what I believe. It isn't particularly relevant.
But I don't determine the meaning of Christianity, or Buddhism. The Buddha taught to let go of attachment. The things that the Buddha taught were positives were selflessness and enlightenment, which are the opposite of focusing attachments. In the Bible, almost no one gets what they want materially. Read the Book of Job sometime. Christ taught that the positive to be sought was the Kingdom of Heaven, to be attained by focus on the poor and a healthy dose of self-sacrifice.
There isn't anything wrong with wanting a BMW. I hope you get it, if it makes you happy. I am hardly out of line in noting that such a request has no support in either Christianity or Buddhism. |
If you got what you want out of life, wouldn't that mean you manifested it?
Your responses have shown to a certain extent what you do believe. And if you don't determine the meaning of Christianity or Buddhism, why criticize my beliefs about them? Also, I never said that I asked Christ for a BMW, you automatically assumed that. I listed possible affirmations one could use for what they are manifesting.
I am however a FIRM believer that if you were to adopt a Christ-like method to your work and life you could have what you want from it.
