last RB: I had a friend that tried coaching me through manifesting and I hated it so much (we no longer speak for that and many other reasons)
My mother never used the word "manifesting" but she sure did worship the God of lost keys. Every week she had a new faith-promoting anecdote about a Blessing from the Lord such as "perfect blouse at the thrift store, on sale!" or "was given an extra free drink in the drive-thru but then at the corner there was a homeless man" or "needed some ingredients to finish the pie for the neighbor and turns out there was just enough oil in the bottle to the last drop"
it's sad and pathetic how much the obsessive mind rituals (words from last rb) distract people.
