Self Worth
Both the old and new versions dictated that your ability to manifest is directly proportional to your self worth; in this case how good you are at "being spiritual", instead of how good you are at business. But self worth is an illusion, so that strategy doesn't really work. It appears to work because other people are playing the same game, and seem to get a lot of money; but they are deluded too, because in truth this has manifested for them to teach them about self, about the truth of their beingness, about the fact that worthy/unworthy is an illusion.
Both the old and new versions are based on competition and a promise of power as a reward for being good and worthy. Whoever can come up with the best strategy to avoid lack and suffering, to manifest money, things, thus, creating the most distractions of fun and joy - wins. We are fooled to think that if we have the "ability" to obtain/manifest objects and wealth, then we have power. But power is an illusion. Manipulation is still manipulation even if it is disguised as spirituality. The universe will not be manipulated. All manifestation is co-creative.
Our feelings of lack, of separation, are denied temporarily when we delude ourselves with the acquisition of worthy items of prosperity. We are fooled by our own perception of worth, and objects. We believed that if we had things all around us then we had no lack. But this is bondage not freedom, because you have to continuously amass more and more money and objects from the world of form; hoard them, protect them, and hide them, to keep the feelings of lack and separation away. When you realize that nothing is yours and nothing is real then ownership is a joke. Then you truly treat "your" objects as toys, and just as a kid does, when s/he is bored with a toy s/he forgets about it and leaves it in a pile of unwanted discarded objects of the past.
What is your motivation for obtaining abundance? What strategy are you using to manifest "prosperity" - to get what you want? All strategies to obtain abundance are tricks of the mind, a linear based plan to avoid the perceived lack in your life, to avoid suffering. They are not real. And trying to avoid lack will only get you more lack. Your strategy is to obtain fulfillment, a false feeling of oneness with All That Is, by getting a new toy.
Your motivation for wanting things, in a sense, is what is keeping you from having it. Does what you want contribute to the divine plan, the co-creation of heaven on earth; does it assist you with further awareness of 'all that you are', or does it just satisfy some lack and make your life more convenient. This will enable you to see the true meaning of lust, envy and greed in your life and how we use it to deny our suffering.
Do you use failure to get what you want? Being "poor me" to get people to feel sorry for you and give you money. This is the nicer new age version to manipulate people and energies to get what you want; since many of us came up with the idea that money was evil. And do you sabotage yourself so that you won't "succeed", so that you won't have to leave your friends behind in their "failure".
Here's an exercise to see where you are in relationship with money: Picture yourself surrounded by a group of friends. They have no money, but you have $100,000. What do you do? Do you give the money away? Do you act like you are poor and hide the fact that you have money? Are you afraid to have more money than your friends because you will be seen as an evil corporate fascist? Do you have a program that says it is noble to be poor?
What about what Jesus said about giving up all material things. Was he talking about doing this literally, being destitute with no possessions and no creature comforts. Of course not, money and things of comfort are divine, as are all things, and abundance is yours by divine right. What he was talking about was giving up the world of form in consciousness. Giving up the world of form as being your God; your God that defines reality for you, that you utilize to deny the truth of your eternal beingness. By being in the world of form but not of it. (Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.)
All of the above versions of manifestation are based on the illusion that things are separate from us, therefor we must get them; but things are illusions, and there is nothing outside of self. You cannot obtain something without it being outside of you, so the concept of obtaining things is an illusion. If things are outside of you then they are separate from you. You cannot truly manifest anything that is separate from you because nothing is separate from you. Only your awareness that it is separate from you makes it separate from you. If you are not one with it, you are not one with All That Is.
Real manifestation recognizes and realizes oneness with All That Is. When you are one with All That Is you can manifest anything because anything is you, and nothing is you. You are one with all things, All That Is. Every thing is a creation of All That Is and you are part of All That Is, therefor you are one with all things. When this is reality for you, you can manifest anything because you are not separate from anything.
This is why Sai Baba can manifest anything, because he does not see himself separate from that thing that he is manifesting. Things are creations of All That Is, they are illusions; Sai Baba knows that all reality is an illusion; if all reality is illusion then no wonder it is so easy for him to manifest things. Sai Baba is a master of reality because he realizes that he does not need to manifest anything. A master of reality knows there is nothing to master, and nothing needs to be manifested. S/he knows that All That Is 'is' here now, therefor everything that is needed is here now.
