This is a great conversation! I just joined and am having fun!
Antiventurecapital - yeah, it would be rediculous to think manna will fall from heaven just because you asked for it. To truly manifest, I think one must get rid of the negative, be open to possibilities, open his/her eyes to syncronatic events and then plan and DO! Remember in Star Wars Yoda says, "No. Try not. Do...or do not. There is no try"
Angela - the spiritual comes in because in my opinion, that's how it is packaged. Instead of packaging it as positive psychology we are told to "ask the Universe" and let the "Universe" provide. That's where the spiritual comes in (IMHO).
