The aim of this research study is to explain the metaphysical secretes of manifesting money. Three research objectives guide this paper. They are focused on investigating the relationship between peoples ability to attract money and the law of attraction, to find out the role of spirituality in explaining peoples ability to attract money and wealth using mind power and to understand the role that ones personal history in improving their ability to attract wealth and fortune using mind power. The findings of this study have been developed through an extensive literature review of research articles published within the last five years (2016-2021). At the core of the findings presented in this paper is the assumption that money is a neutral force and not a negative one of spiritual manipulation, as is the commonly held belief among many societies. Therefore, a persons beliefs and attitude towards money fundamentally dictates whether this force will be a negative or positive one in their lives. This statement implies that the failure to attract wealth and fortune is a product of ones inability to possess positive beliefs and attitudes towards money. The opposite is also true because people who hold positive views about money and nurture empowering beliefs about wealth achieve the greatest success in amassing great fortune.
Introduction
Money is one of the most important influencing factors in modern life. Some scholars single it out as one among the three most distorting force of human existence, with the other two being sex and religion (Benoit et al.731; Grossi 281). Money affects almost all aspects of a persons existence, including their health, opportunities in life, and happiness. However, of importance to modern society is the use of money as a tool for accomplishing what one sets out to do in life. This is why Atkinson says that, most great men of all ages have been comparatively rich. They have made or inherited money; without money they could not have accomplished what they did (1). This statement highlights the importance of money in not only helping people to accomplish their personal goals but also in their quest to build stable and progressive societies. It also shows that, historically, people have placed great importance and value to money because, when obtained rightfully, it can significantly improve ones quality of life and their view of it.
The benefits of wealth and money on peoples existence has been explored in many scholarly texts, including those of Verdouw (523), Lopes et al. (39), Proctor and Anand (322). By most measures of success adopted in their scholarly works, money signifies a common goal among most people, which is to improve the quality of their lives. Indeed, throughout the world, many people look for money because they believe it will enable them to live well. This goal may include the assumption that money allows them to own beautiful homes, nice cars, dress appropriately, and attract quality friends. People are often inspired by the possibility of achieving such goals and a greater percentage of them are motivated to accomplish them to get family or social approval, thereby making the pursuit of money a fulfilling endeavour. Supporting this view, Atkinson suggests that the pursuit of this goal is only part of human nature because surrounding oneself with conditions that are unpleasant or demeaning of ones dignity is inconsistent with proper thought and logic (1). Therefore, the importance of money in promoting individual and societal exploits is unrivalled.
Wealth is a function of money and it exists as a by-product of human achievement. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a product of ones industriousness, but rather an indicator of ones ability to attract and maintain a sense of abundance in their lives. This is because there is evidence of people from different backgrounds who have become wealthy by seemingly doing nothing. Similarly, there are numerous examples of people who have worked hard their entire lives and not been wealthy. This paradox has baffled not only common observers, analysts and psychologists but has also exposed some inherent weaknesses in the socioeconomic structure of modern society, relative to inequality gaps that exist today. However, few people have been bold enough to propose radical or practical changes for solving this dilemma for fear of eroding the socioeconomic fabric for which modern society is founded on.
The topic of wealth and finances is often contentious because of the impact and opportunities that money has on peoples social, economic, and political wellbeing. Beliefs and value systems that enable people to attract or repulse money are ingrained not only deep into ones sense of being but also in the social structures of societies. These constructs eventually form the basis for which people compare themselves with others, or derive their own sense of happiness. Relative to this connection, the relationship between money and peoples health and emotional wellbeing is commonly understood but there is a lack of proper comprehension regarding how mind power affects peoples finances. This gap in the literature persists, despite the power that societies have placed on money and its role in promoting human development.
The scope of this study will be on the metaphysical aspects of attracting wealth. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that is focused on understanding peoples existence and experiences in the world. It traces its roots to philosophical texts, especially those involving notable scholars, such as Aristotle, who focused on first causes and the principle of things (Meyrav 137). The metaphysical aspects of wealth attraction that will be investigating in this study will be further linked to psychological explanations that explain differences in peoples ability to attract wealth or manifest abundance. Credence to this statement is formed on the basis that behind all major wealth in the world, there is a psychology at work (Guenot 8). Therefore, the secrets to the manifestation of wealth and abundance will be explained through a spiritual, metaphysical and psychological focus.
Research Problem
Despite the importance of money in promoting individual and societal growth and development, money and wealth are two common concepts perceived to be the root of all evil. In some circles, this perception of money is often discussed as a joke, but some people attach money and wealth to spiritual impurity, especially if it manifests in abundance. Others are concerned that the extreme accumulation of money and wealth represents moral and spiritual corruption because it is ethically unjustifiable for one persons net worth to be equivalent or exceed the value of entire economies of counties, states, or even nations.
A different section of society is of the opinion that money represents free will and people should be allowed to accumulate as much as they can. This contrast in opinion and perception means that there is little understanding regarding the concepts of wealth and fortune and its role in helping people to understand the meaning of life. Consequently, at the root cause of this diversity in opinion is the variance in peoples belief systems about what money truly means to them. For example, why do some people seem to acquire it so easily, while others struggle their entire lives to get it?
Core beliefs about money exist below the surface of ones awareness, thereby subconsciously affecting their ability to manifest fortune and abundance. These subconscious influences are often unknown to a person, at least consciously, unless there is a tragedy or loss in the lives, which forces them to actively engage in discussions that challenge their core beliefs. Some researchers have explained this phenomenon using the law of attraction by suggesting that people create the reality that they imagine because they have an innate ability to attract what they desire.
The law of attraction has been used in many other contexts outside the fields of metaphysics with social and economic implications on peoples lives. However, from a psychological perspective, it has been difficult to understand how such a concept relates with someones ability to attract wealth and fortune. This disconnect has created gaps in developing findings that explain how mind power works and its role in creating peoples reality. Therefore, it is difficult for people to understand what controls their thoughts and comprehend the role of their core beliefs in enabling or sabotaging their efforts to attract or manifest money and abundance. This study contributes to this discussion because it is aimed at explaining the secrets of manifesting wealth and abundance.

Significance of Study
As highlighted above, the process of attracting money and wealth is largely confusing for most people and contentious to others. The debate regarding the role of mind power in explaining this disconnect also stretches into discussions about income inequalities that exists around the globe. Indeed, it is difficult to explain how a majority of the worlds population is poor and a few minority group of people continue to control vast amounts of wealth. Deep into these discussions are debates about what money actually means and whether the process of its accumulation is a function of business secrets or a product of ones psychology (Selimi 1). Therefore, the justification of this study is in understanding the psychological explanations behind peoples ability to use mind power to attract wealth and abundance.
The findings of this study will be useful to psychologists, counsellors, and educators who are involved in motivating people to maximize their potential in financial development. The focus on the psychology of money draws attention to the link between economics and human behaviour, which means that the findings of this study could also be insightful to policymakers who may use its findings to develop or create environments where the highest financial potential can be achieved. These groups of people could also find the findings of this study to be vital in enabling them to perform their tasks well because they would help them to understand metaphysical attributes about peoples motivation and ability to maximize their financial wellbeing.
Using this framework of reasoning, economists and policymakers would not only be able to understand the psychological and behavioural aspects of creating wealth and fortune but also understand the influence of subliminal aspects of performance, such as culture, family, media, friends, and religion on people ability to attract and retain wealth. By gaining insights into these influences of personal performance and their effects on the potential to attract wealth, users of such information may begin to adjust their behaviors or professional plans for greater fulfilment of their innate potential to live financially free and to allow them to enjoy more freedom in their lives to pursue other passions.

Literature Review
This chapter is a literature review of what other scholars have written about the research topic. To recap, three research objectives guide this investigation. They focus on investigating the relationship between peoples ability to attract money and the law of attraction, to find out the role of spirituality in explaining peoples ability to attract money and wealth using mind power and to understand the role that ones personal history plays in influencing their ability to attract wealth and fortune using mind power. These three objectives are aimed at fulfilling the research aim, which is to explain the metaphysical secrets of manifesting money abundance.
Spiritual Aspect of Wealth and Money
Ones spirituality often refers to their understanding of their purpose on earth and the reason for their creation. Religion forms the framework of most peoples spiritual focus but, when explaining its role in realizing financial success, some researchers have advanced a new school of thought, which argues that financial success is not a function economic prosperity, stock market performance, or real estate growth but, rather, a function of ones spirituality (Fei 206; Yount 51-52). Their arguments are premised on the understanding that the foundation of financial success is ones spirituality. In other words, spirituality is the source from which ones ability to attract money and wealth comes from. However, it is a difficult task to access this area of growth because it operates at subconscious levels.
The spiritual component of attracting wealth is firmly rooted in discussions that have tried to link peoples actions with their mind and will. Therefore, in understanding the spiritual aspects of making money, it is important to comprehend the views of researchers who have investigated the relationship between the mind and the body. For a long-time, western scholars have advanced the theory that peoples mind and body should be viewed as two distinct and separate entities. Fei partly explains this view by saying People tend to consider their bodies as matter without thoughts and as fundamentally different from their souls and minds (206). This view of the body presents it as a living entity without the ability to comprehend, make a choice or judgment about different issues in life. In portraying the dual perspective of the mind and body, Fei defines the two concepts by suggesting that, The body stands for sensibility, contingency and uncertainty, whereas the mind represents sense, truth, stability and certainty (206). Spirituality is proposed as a connector of the two concepts because it describes a common purpose for which both of them exist.
Based on the above statement, traditionally, philosophy has paid little attention to the body as a holistic entity and instead dissected it into different parts that ultimately make up the human spirit. In a research study authored by Fei, this approach of isolating the mind with the body is incorrect because it advocates for the representation of the body in its natural composition as opposed to its different value elements that form it (206). Relative to this school of thought, this approach of reasoning conveys a generalized understanding of the body philosophy as a representation of the deepest essential elements of human society and culture. This type of cognitive reasoning provides a detailed analysis of the human nature based on its ability to shape individual and social functions. Therefore, the contemporary manner in which societies are organised and formed stems from this logic.
The representation of the body as the primary basis for understanding human contradictions draw attention to the superiority accorded to the mind over the boy. Relative to this analysis, Fei does not acknowledge the independence of the mind from the body and instead advocates for a unified understanding of both concepts (206). This definition of the mind and the body is relevant to this review because it highlights the spiritual connection between both concepts, which has been used to explain how people can use mind power to improve their financial success. By extension, it helps to explain the connection that people have with the world and the universe at large. The body is used as the basis for generating meaning and defining reason when trying to explain how this connection works.
When investigating the role of spirituality in enabling people to attract money and wealth, it is also important to investigate the views of scholars who have explored dimensions of spirituality from a holistic and not dual perspective. For example, in a study authored by Yount, which sought to understand the main composition of the mind, thoughts and spiritual wellbeing, it was demonstrate that the human spirit has six main dimensions which include will/heart/spirit, the mind (thoughts) and mind (feelings), the body, the social, and the soul, which organizes components into a single person (51). Based on this understanding, it was implied that the spiritual influences of ideas and thoughts are tied to life-long learning and spiritual growth.
The above findings are relevant in explaining how peoples thoughts lead to action and eventually their outcomes in life. They suggest that the rational mind is the primary tool for choosing what people want in life or who they become as a product of their choices. In this context of analysis, there is a connection between the will and the mind, whereby what the mind conceives can be achieved through action. However, one must possess a strong will to make it happen. A human beings will is firmly rooted in their spirituality and the evidence of this connection is in their choices and actions. This is why most people tend to derive their beliefs about money and tax from their religious teachings. Relative to this statement, Yount says that Volition acts through attention, which magnifies, stabilizes, clarifies, and otherwise makes predominant one thought out of many (52). Therefore, it is proposed that ones ability to attract money and wealth is a product of their will and commitment to do so.
The connection between the human will and ability to attract money stems from their cognitive abilities to identify their passion and hold it clearly in their mind until it is realized. Conversely, ones willingness and commitment to achieve their set goals makes all other considerations for attention in the human mind to fade away, thereby leaving only one focus which, in the context of this review, is making money or attracting wealth. Supported by religious texts, Yount further adds credence to this argument by saying, The life we lead&leaves its mark in the form of enduring changes in the complex circuitry of the brainfootprints of the experiences we have had and the actions we have taken (52). This statement is largely true of the human experience in making money and attracting wealth because it is a function of the complex circuity of the brain as alluded above.
Researchers who have tried to establish a link between mind power and wealth creation in non-theological texts have further explored the role of the mind in creating reality. For example, a study authored by Savransky suggests that true positive realities are only realizable when there is a decolonization of the mind (11). Again, the power of the mind is put into focus here as a tool for creating reality because it is implicitly used to reflect ones economic or financial position. Therefore, as proposed by Savransky above, for one to realize financial freedom, they must decolonize their mind first because it is from within it that everything else flows (11). This is the main justification for the evaluation of peoples thoughts and beliefs as measure of their financial or monetary success.
The scholarly work by Savransky outlined above has taken a sociopolitical dimension by trying to outline the need to differentiate epistemology and ontology. He argues that within the realm of epistemology, sociology helps to understand objects of focus, which, in this analysis, should be wealth creation (Savransky 11). Using this framework of reasoning, there is no cognitive or social justice without realizing existential justice first. In the context of this analysis, existential justice refers to ones spiritual fulfillment because, coupled with religion, human beings tend to derive their purpose in life. Until this spiritual crisis is solved first, it becomes inherently difficult to address other issues that affect their lives, including financial issues or even marital problems. Therefore, the need to solve the existential crisis through spirituality has to be addressed as a primary concern and precondition to wealth creation. Savransky adopts the same view by saying that there is no politics of knowledge without a politics of reality (11). His statement further highlights the role of spirituality in shaping peoples financial outcomes.
The spiritual function of wealth and money attraction is also partly explained by scholars who have studied the behaviors and attitudes of millionaires and billionaires around the world. For example, a study authored by Donnelly et al. that sampled the views of 4,000 millionaires in America found that only those who earned in the range of $8 million $10 million were significantly happier than their counterparts who received less money (684). Similarly, it was established that most wealthy people who earn their money, as opposed to inherit it derived significant additional happiness from their wealth.
The notion that money earned made people happier than money inherited affirms the spiritual role of finances in shaping ones outcomes and wellbeing in life (Vitale 66). Indeed, by earning money, people tend to derive a greater satisfaction and meaning from their actions because doing so aligns with a common spiritual theme of helping other people. However, money inherited does not meet this spiritual threshold and the disconnect explains why people who earn their wealth in this manner tend to lose it shortly afterwards. Therefore, it is important to recognize the spiritual underpinning of wealth creation.
Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is a philosophical understanding of how reality is created based on peoples beliefs and thought patterns. It presupposes that positive experiences in life are products of positive thoughts, while negative experiences are similarly products of negative thoughts. The basic premise behind this psychological view of wealth creation is the understanding that peoples thoughts are merely a reflection of their energy. Since, it is assumed that peoples thoughts are essentially energy, they attract what they think of the most. Consequently, like energy operates, positives tend to attract positive experiences and negative forces similarly attract negative events. Several scholars, including Clubb (16) and Rivers (46) have advanced this view. They suggest that the law of attraction is based on three fundamental principles: like attracts like, nature abhors vacuum and the present is always perfect.
The attraction of like forces works in the same manner as people who have similar characteristics or ambitions coalesce around those who share the same values. If this analysis is extended further to explain the context of wealth attraction and creation, it implies that people attract the outcomes they desire. Indeed, through different thought processes, negative thinking naturally attracts results of a similar nature and positive thoughts attract positive results.
The understanding that nature abhors vacuum supports the second premise of the law of attraction. This principle dictates that the extraction of specific types of feelings from ones mental state would naturally create room for new feelings (Winslow 411). This statement has been used to encourage people to let go negative feelings to create room for positive thoughts and, similarly, positive realities. Concisely, there is no situation where a vacuum will exist and the extraction of a specific type of thought or attitude would not be replaced by another force. Therefore, it is imperative for a person to determine which kind of force would replace their thoughts if they choose to change them. Therefore, this principle of the law of attraction suggests that there will be no time people will have an empty mind because it is incumbent on them to determine what fills their minds.
The third premise of the law of attraction is the belief that the present situation can always be improved. Particularly, proponents of this school of thought argue that, even though the present moment may seem flawed, it is fruitless to complain about it or develop feelings of unhappiness because of it (Mukerji 1). Instead, people are encouraged to take small actions that can remedy the situation as they inherently hold the power to determine their present circumstances.
Broadly, these three premises of the law of attraction have been mentioned in studies that have a philosophical focus because there is scanty scientific evidence to back up most of the claims made about the law of attraction. However, researchers have pointed out that the law of attraction could yield many positive results that ultimately improve a persons wellbeing (Winslow 411; Mukerji 1; Clubb 16). The creation of positive results is partly rooted in the concept of spirituality because evidence suggests that a heightened sense of spirituality is linked to multiple aspects of a persons wellbeing, such as their health, stress, peace of mind, enjoyment of life and other measures of success (Winslow 411; Mukerji 1; Clubb 16). Scholars who hold this view believe that the link between spirituality and the law of attraction emerges when people align their actions with Gods wishes and the laws of the universe.
The strong philosophical focus of the law of attraction has attracted some criticism from observers who question the scientific evidence to back up such claims. Notably, the lack of scientific rigour regarding the workings of the law of attraction and wealth creation have further complicated discussions on how it could be used to explain financial outcomes. However, its proponents support its legitimacy by saying that money and wealth can be attracted by maintaining positive thoughts because, to them, success is a product of mind over matter (Moreno 5). This principle works by focusing on ones thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs about money and wealth to improve their financial wellbeing until it actually happens. Therefore, people who support this view believe that dwelling in fear and anxiety will only sabotage the creative process and lead to undesired outcomes (Gouge 166). Instead, they propose that a positive mental state should be maintained all times because the alternative is counterproductive.
When explaining the law of attraction and its potential in helping people to realize financial stability, Guenot takes a linear approach at addressing the link between financial wealth creation and peoples innate ability to attract money (8). He says that it stems from peoples programing patterns, whereby values that support wealth creation are passed down from one generation to the next and the outcome is a growing population of rich people who have ingrained financial knowledge and skills that allow them to attract wealth.
In other words, at a young age, information about creating wealth has already been inculcated in them and they only reproduce the results as adults. This is why many rich people seem to be making all the right decisions in life and appear to make financially sound decisions on a whim without thinking of whether they would affect their overall stability, or not. To many people, wealth and money appears to come naturally to them. The same is true for most millionaires and billionaires around the world who can lose huge amounts of money and still be able to recoup it all back again, as if they have an innate power to attract money. Guenot argues that the core values of wealth creation have been ingrained through programing, such that wealth creation becomes a natural way of thinking (8). The same skills allow wealthy people to spot opportunities in their environment that other people are unable to spot, too lazy to understand or are limited in their comprehension of them. These groups are people who are deemed to be suffering from a lack mentality that encourages them to view opportunities from a limiting perspective.
The theory of the mind has been mentioned as an ideological framework for understanding how the law of attraction works. For example, in a journal article authored by, Holl et al. the theory of the mind was used to explain childrens behaviours, which they then carry on into their adulthood years (257). The researchers suggested that the theory of mind has a strong link to peoples aggressive behaviours in life and in making risky decisions. In the longitudinal study, it was further established that the values imparted on children at a young age have a significant impact on their future developmental outcomes (Holl et al. 257). In a different study authored by Kumazaki, the theory of the mind was regarded as a contentious one to use in the field of psychology (253). However, it has been pooled together with others in the field, including the simulation theory all of which are regarded as monolithic in their nature and form.
Haimovitz did a similar study that investigated whether childrens intelligence mind-set was a function of their parents beliefs and it was confirmed that the beliefs of caregivers manifested profoundly on their children, as opposed to their lives because adults are good at concealing them (859). Therefore, parents beliefs can significantly influence their childrens economic outcomes more than theirs. A deeper analysis into these findings suggest that most children can correctly perceive the failure mind-sets of their parents but are unable to predict their intelligence. In this discussion, it was further reported that the correct perception of the failure mind-set means that children could develop the same mind-set in their adulthood. Therefore, it was assumed that most parents who have a failure mind-set concentrate a lot of their time in evaluating a childs performance and ability to succeed as opposed to improving processes that would eventually help them to succeed, such as their learning history (Haimovitz 859). Therefore, the law of attraction binds parents economic wellbeing with their childrens.
