>their contention is not that manifesting per se doesn't do anything, but that a lot of it risks turning people into greedy manipulators. You get a bunch of people who think the path to happiness is forcing the outside world to conform to their own desires at all costs. This seems to work at first, but breaks down after a while. Sometimes their desires have unexpected side effects. Sometimes their desires don't make them happy when they get them, or outright ruin their lives. And sometimes their desires make life miserable for everyone but themselves.
Not trying to vaguepost your ass and blueball you but this happens for a specific set of reasons and I don't want to turn this thread into /fringe/-/his/-/pol/ since explaining it would require walls of text, furthermore, I fear giving a wonky tl;dr.
But yeah, the kabbalists who engineered modern civilization understand all of this very well, not perfectly, or else they wouldn't have instituted such a grotesquely miserable system which has inescapable karmic consequences (despite their constant caution to "shift" that karmic weight, that blame onto the masses i.e. "you can deduce or even see we are evil but you ain't doing shit about it so it's on YOU lolololol), but very well. Which is exactly why they use this knowledge for malicious speculation.
