Right! Re: Maslow, if you're in a position of dire need for food, manifesting a million bucks might not be as valuable to you as manifesting within yourself energy, drive, creativity, larceny, or whatever it would take for you to eat. Wishing for a windfall seems to me to be just that: wishing.
Manta, I can see how there's a great spiritual possibility within The Secret. It just seems to me that the pop-culture hollywood-slick way it's packaged appeals to the basest kind of desires, and makes it even easier for lazy people to remain at a very shallow and ineffective level while convincing themselves that they're doing something "spiritual." I don't think you, personally, are doing that; it just appears to be a tendency, especially since The Secret is going mainstream.
That said, I love the concept of the Law of Attraction! Regarding manifesting parking spots, my intention is to walk rather than drive. My deeper intention within that is vitality, well-being and joy. It works every time.
