Your discussion on the book From the Poorhouse to the Penthouse was interesting in that some find her book too “Christian”. I find it unsound Scripturally, since the Christian Scriptures teach a difference between the soul and the spirit (Hebrews 4). Once one is born-again spiritually through faith in Jesus Christ and His atoning blood, the soul must be renewed through the reading of the Word, and then finally, at Christ’s return, even the physical body will be transformed like unto His resurrected body.
While various techniques for manifestation may work for anybody, I rejected those soulish practices (Yes, “I once practiced Buddhist austerities…”) and now choose to lay down my life for the Father’s will. As Jesus Christ taught us to pray, my prayer is “Our Father, Who art in heaven….Your will be done.”
There are many techniques for manipulating wills, people, things. None of it compares to Christ in me, my “hope of glory!” “I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me.” “For whosover desires to save his life [psuche] will lose it, and whoever loses his life [psuche] for My [Christ’s] sake will find it. For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
