Question Law of Attraction is for Heroes as well as Villains!

I recently visited a website and the its’ creator written that “the Law of Attraction is purely science and it is for Villains as much as Heroes - it is impartial and non-judgmental" – that made a great sense to me!

So what’s up with people who try to insist one must be a believer or spiritual person to manifest?

If that is the case all the world’s billionaires and multi-millionaires are pious and men of God! I don’t think so!

I don't recall where I read it, but I believe Yogananda said that siddhis (of which IM is apparently one) are not exclusive to the spiritually advanced.

Your myths are showing:

You don't need to know anything about LOA to become a millionaire. You just have to know how to make money. Stoops make millions. Geniuses make millions. Arseholes make millions.

You are assuming that LOA is for making money. Of course it can be but it's power is really much much bigger than that. Anyone can make money.

No one insists that one has to be spiritual to manifest. Everyone is manifesting all the time. But to manifest with intention is a much different animal. Manifesting with intention only requires powerful feelings, not goodness or holiness, necessarily.

But there is a logical path one ends up taking if one chooses to not take LOA at face value (as offered by the recent trendy sources of LOA knowledge.) Those seeking a greater understanding of LOA.

That path inevitably leads to a higher spiritual plane. The power that makes LOA work is universal. You can describe it anyway you wish but it is what most people who believe in God are believing in, even if they describe God in strange ways. (Like a judgemental old man. A jealous or vindictive father figure.)

So, while it may comfort those who can't stand the idea of being "spiritual" to know they can usurp this power and not put anything in the offering plate, so to speak, it's self-deception, in the end. You are utilizing God power and pretending God doesn't exist.

Whoever insisted on such a thing?

The typical explanation of LOA is that everyone creates their own reality with their own thoughts. Not just monks or priests, but everyone.

I haven't seen all writings everywhere but I don't think anyone has ever said that. It would make no sense.

I believe that to use the power of manifestation in more than just superficial, parlor-trick sort of ways, one does have to delve deeper and that 'deeper-ness' can't help but take a more spiritual tack.

Perhaps that is the essense that is causing Gianpaolo to make that assertion.

Adolf Hitler was a master of manifestation.

he had:

Goal and personal belief in that goal
plan
master mind group
enthusiasm
passion
daily effort spent on goal.
willing to go to any lengths to achieve his aims

No, I don't think it takes any spiritual connection to use the tools we inherited, only desire.

Hilter was not an atheist. He was not overly demonstrative with his religious expression, didn't attend church but made many public statements that confirmed his belief in Christianity, it's importance to his ideal vision of Germany and he remained a self-professed Catholic his whole life.

But one does not have to be spiritual at all to make LOA work in their favor.

I'm aware of his religious affiliations as well as the symbolism he borrowed from other than Christian sources and put to effective use for his own ends. My main point was that by most peoples standards he was not a "spiritual" person. Of course, I find a distinct separation between 'religious' and 'spiritual' , with religion ultimately being divisive and spirituality unifying.

As far as my experience goes the LOA can be used to keep a man warm or burn the house down, it's up to the individual. The notion that one must be evolved spiritually or be a vegan or be a good person is simply based on the very human beliefs about 'deserving'. I have personally manifested some things that were ultimately bad for me, and very proficiently at that.
