Manifesting our reality is thing, but there are natural limitations and mechanics. I want to clear up some distortions that are popular in this article. For instance, it's one thing to manifest a sandwich by making it for yourself and it's another thing to manifest a world without hunger. I have heard it many times that our reality is a reflection of our consciousness therefore we can create reality. I don't buy it. Our co-creating energies are inside a shared dream. A shared space is a compromise between many individual energies. You don't get to turn the rain into silver dollars by putting it on your vision board. The popular voices that would contradict me are probably the ones asking for thousands of your dollars. I would ask them to turn the rain into silver dollars with such a teaching.
There's also the subject of who is doing the manifesting. Is this person coming from a place of self awakened inner stillness? If I am a hot mess I will manifest a hot mess. It reminds of of the book entitled Don't Polish Your Ignorance...It May Shine. This is a call to self work of course, meditation being a great starting point. It is a refining heat to let the knotted muscles of your nervous system relax. And it can bring up such subtle energies that have been tucked way, so much that a new you can appear.
So we must ask what is your energy signature? You came here with a seed of brilliance that is growing everyday, but it's still based on the DNA of that seed. Do you express those true parts yet? Manifesting something which doesn't match with this seed only brings messiness. It can make one relax a bit and retract their daggers pointing out to the world. Are you so sure that your stance on this or that is worth standing on? Could it be that your deeper self might be there in your future on a completely different side of the current hot topic, or not taking one at all? Are you so certain you should be fixing everyone else?
I heard of a mother who wanted their child to go to church with them every month as her new years resolution. Just once a month. It's a funny thing to have a new years resolution for another person. Manifesting others to do things for you is also a reality though. Those in power are skilled at it. I would rather not talk about them anymore, or us trying to be like them. Why not let the complex bountiful holodeck that we live on provide for our vision instead? For example, it doesn't haven't be a specific person that your manifest as your spouse, but rather qualities that you see in them. Now anyone that matches them is a possiblity! See how that reduces the friction to getting your desire fulfilled?
Lastly there's another energetic rule that is often true: When you obsess over what you want you tend to repel it. Doesn't that seem backwards? Why isn't it that obsession gives us that which we want? And why is it that we keep obsessing even though it doesn't work? The answer is in this question: If obession could deliver everything and everybody you wanted, who and what would you have? You couldn't have a person by this rule because they also have their obsessions, and they are obvously not obessing on serving you. You couldn't have all the things, because the people making them have them have a price. This simple logic tells us that we need not focus on control.
Some might call this repelling force expectation energy. It's that tacky thing we see in unskilled preachers and car salesmen. They are nice because they want you to change. Our holodeck seems to have the same consciousness as we do because it doesn't like it either!
This has been more about how not to manifest. Next time I will go in what should be done rather than what should not be done.
