Default you also attracting KARMA

With anything you are concentrating on and attracting to yourself you also get the KARMA connected to it. Money is one of the most negative KARMA containers. Be aware of what you can attract if you really believe in it. You can destroy yourself absolutely. You will only seem like happy. For example, I heard about very high suicide rate among wealthy old people who leave alone in their great villas in USA.
Conclusion: if you are REALLY believe in spiritual power you HAVE TO THINK how you are going to use it. It’s the very dangerous game.
Thank you.

Newone, I disagree with some of what you say.

Money is potential power, and does not affect karma in any way. Karma, at its root, is action, and is power in motion. It's what you do with money that creates the impressions that comes back at karma.

This is a very good point, and intention-manifestation does create the impressions that guide our future actions. If we manifest scarcity by, say, stepping on someone's back to get a promotion at a company, then you operate even more deeply under a model of scarcity (which serves nobody).

Indeed. And this is what you have to do anyway. It's not whether we choose to "wield" "spiritual power," we do it as a matter of course. And so I think your message is pertinent to everyone.

What are you manifesting? And does it serve you? (My wife reminded me tonight of something nasty I was about to manifest at my job, for example.)
