Spirituality and Abundance

Do you think there is a difference between attitudes to abundance that spiritual people have, and the attitudes to abundance that are more "worldly"? And if so, what might this difference be?

In this podcast I discuss my own perspective and experience in relation to abundance and finances, both in terms of historical spirituality (such as the Western monastic movement, or Buddhist monasticism), and the very practical personal experience. 

I will also discuss what happens when we get obstructions and setbacks immediately after setting out on a spiritual path, or making a great move in the dirrection of our calling and mission. In other words, what if you surrendered to the universe, but the universe seems to fail you?
Plus: How do you know you are on the right course? How do you know the difference between obstructions that only confirm you are on the right path, and inability to produce results, which means you are not where you had wanted to be?
