i used to be sooo spiritual and loved manifesting but after my best friend didn’t come back (we had a silly disagreement) i stopped believing it.

I tried praying away chronic illness and after that didn’t work I decided to not be spiritual anymore❤️

Im still spiritual, just not manifestation aligned. So much of it is grifting, privilege , and taking advantage of the desperate and vulnerable. Whats your chronic illness ?

It so is!!! I’m in a discord group of ppl rn who are very aligned with the God gives us everything, Manifestation is Real, You are always feeling “it”, and it’s shocking how many of them are conservative and also wont stand up for things like trans rights

yes…. very ableist racist classist characters among them. obviously we would not have so many people suffering if wanting and believing in things enough made your wishes come true.

tbh now that im grown and know religion is more complex than asking for stuff and getting it idk 🤷‍♀️ ive become more religious/spiritual in an agnostic type of way, it's nice having something to believe in and help anchor down your hopes you know but i think the majority of people just focus too much on scripture in a literal way

I think community is nice but I think convincing people they can wish and pray their way into a better life is misleading. we need to do real stuff not thoughts and prayers!!!

i feel like this is very black and white thinking tbh, sometimes there's only so much you can do regardless of the situation. I dont think there's anything wrong with telling people to pray or think about the things going on, i think that even helps us process the things we're going through or seeing other people experience in the same way that you go to a therapist to help you process your trauma

using faith to process stuff is fine and very helpful! I’m talking about gun violence, poverty etc… we can’t pray that stuff away, we have to act
