Deliberate Misleading Spirituality Ideas

I assume that most of you will not be fans of the huge swathes of New Age-y video clips all over YouTube these days that go into ideas about 'attracting wealth' and holding mind-sets that 'harmonize' with the millionaire or even billionaire mind-set (whatever those are).

Now ordinarily I have no view either way on these kinds of things. 

Wouldn't it be great though, if you could just 'think' in harmonic resonance (New Age-speak) with money and wealth and power, and all of a sudden it all comes to you like magic, following some 'attractive force...'

And that's what the proposition generally is, with these kinds of videos and programs and books.

But you know, the side banks of a river don't ordinary come together just because they are in simple harmony... There is a huge expanse of water flowing right in the middle there between the two of them, and it's called 'the river!'

You need a bridge to be able to have the two sides 'meet' in a sense, although they won't physically actually meet unless Moses steps in and dries up the waters again. And then it becomes a miracle or a miraculous event or at least so rare as to be certainly not something you can 'expect' to happen, or rely on ever, just 'happening.'

A quantum bridge...
Even if you have a real (ordinary) physical bridge,
across a real physical river, and you send vibrations through
it - sometimes, you can crack the bridge! 

In the physical realm, when two strings of different, separate, musical instruments vibrate in harmonic resonance, they do so because of the medium of air, which can carry the sound vibrations. The air, in this case, becomes 'the bridge' across which the vibrations can travel.

So what makes it so different in the 'spiritual' world? Why don't geometry and physics rules still apply? Well but I think they do.

And if people expect something other than that then they will end up pretty soon being disappointed by or disillusioned by these 'New Age-y' ideas and claims and assertions about harmonic resonance and 'the Law of Attraction.' 

I think it might be possible to have this 'law of attraction' thing be a kind of a reality... It might be possible to have 'harmonic frequencies' have an effect on what ideas one holds in one's mind, and it might from thence be possible to have a mind en-trained in certain ways - but whether one can actually magically create outcomes with seemingly no physical cause/effect structure going on, well that is really asking something there!

One would need to be an architect of the spiritual world, or an engineer of the spiritual world, to be able to attain such substantial results.

In today's world, there are avid proponents of these New Age ideas, and there are strident critics who are very aggressive in their opposing viewpoints. I find both sides often equally lazy.
