In each moment, we have a fundamental choice to make: are we going to live from fear, or love?
I have been on this path for a long time. I started out with reality shifting, moved on to manifestation, dabbled in nonduality, and eventually landed onto my own brand of spirituality.
I have a lot to share with the world; a lot of love, a lot of joy, a lot of peace. I know that I am here to see the worthiness of all life and bring that worthiness to the forefront.
I want to talk about manifestation, and my beliefs on the topic, because I really do feel like I have been pulled into it so many times, and it has really done nothing but set back my progress on my path.
But manifestation in itself is not the problem. It is the way it is taught and the way it is seen by many of us.
We are human. Currently, most of humanity sees things from a 3d (third dimensional) perspective. This entails a lot of struggle, force, and trying to get what we want.
This is not where humanity is headed. The idea of manifestation being something we have to force or make happen is not in alignment with humanity’s path forward, and that is why it seems not to work for a lot of people- we are moving beyond the struggle and force, into ease and love.
I personally have manifested things into my life by force, and it was always either something small that didn't matter much, or something that actively hurt me (i was an addict at one point, imagine how much harm the idea of "you can have anything you want at any time" did to me).
But there have been many, MANY times in my life where things have worked out so perfectly that I never could have imagined it. And guess what? Those circumstances took absolutely NO EFFORT from me. I just let go, and everything turned out more perfect than I could have imagined.
And this is what I want to express to this community. There is no need for effort because effort actively makes things harder. Coming from a place of trying actively makes you have to try harder. You get what you put out, what you feed grows... and if you feed trying, lack, or effort, you get more of that in return. I hope that makes sense.
What I have learned along the way, is that the very best and highest good for all (including me!!!) comes from a place of allowing, gratitude, and love.
For me, the very best way to "manifest" is to not try to manifest at all. Why do you think learning about manifestation made things so hard, when before life just fell into place for a lot of us? You have been creating your world since you were born, and you never had to try so hard before!! It's because the very idea of making things happen made it so that you couldn't just allow things to happen on their own.
Take this example. Nature exists without humans needing to do anything to it. The entire universe was born from dying stars, and this planet just happened to be created and could sustain life. Think of just how much had to align for that to happen. Now think of how many generations of life had to happen to create humans, and how many generations of humans it took to create to you.
The universe is intelligent. Everything is happening for a reason. Everything is happening FOR YOU, not TO YOU.
This means that when we try to force things to happen, we are actually getting in the way of this life force that creates all things. The very best thing that you can do to create is to get out of life's way.
Now, does that mean you have to stop trying entirely? No! But you DO have to try differently.
Try to love yourself. Try to be grateful for what exists. Try to see the good things in your life. Try to spend time in stillness, be with what is already here. Really take in your life, and try to love what you see.
Everything that is happening now will serve you in some way in the future. As someone who went through horrible abuse, I know that might sound awful, but trust me when I say that the pain I went through made me so much stronger and more willing to change. If I hadn't gone through all that I did, I would never be the person I am now. And that isn't a platitude or a coincidence! I understand now that I specifically went through everything I did FOR MY GROWTH.
That is the secret. Life wants to evolve through you. If something isnt for your highest good or will hurt your growth, it will not come to you easily. BUT!! If you decide to allow life to move through you, something even BETTER will come, that you couldn't have expected.
I am not rich. I am not conventionally pretty. I do not have everything I ever wanted. But... i always have money when I need it most, I like the way I look and accept my body, and I am HAPPY to be me. As someone who used to absolutely LOATHE themselves, to the point of thinking I didnt deserve to exist, being hapoy to be me is the biggest fucking blessing I could have ever asked for.
And i didnt make it happen. I simply let go of everything that was in the way. I let go of the self hatred. I let go of the fear. I let go of the need to control it. And it fell into place on its own.
THAT is what manifesting is about. It is about trust. It is about releasing the outcome and enjoying your life NOW.
And that energy of enjoyment and gratitude brings more to you than you could have ever asked for, in the exact right moment.
Now let me say this: you 100% CAN force things to happen and manifest in the conventional way. I am not saying that it isnt real or possible. All I am saying is that often, what we THINK we want will actually harm us, so it is much MUCH better to let life do it for us, because the universe is infinitely wise and is always working in our favor.
Also!! If you get too far off the path life has for you, sometimes really bad things can happen for your own good. My car literally broke down when I chose my addiction over fixing it. It wasnt a punishment, it was A MESSAGE. A sign, if you will. And as soon as I started to heal myself from that addiction? I got a new car, because the world wanted me to be able to have that, but I wasn't ready before.
There is no need to give up or despair, because things will always get better in the end. The world is working for you, and no matter how bad it seems now, it is happening for a reason, and you will understand in the future why it needed to happen the way it did.
So now you have a choice. The fundamental choice: are you going to manifest from fear that you wont get what you want or need any other way? Or will you love your life and trust that the world will work for you if you let it?
Its up to you, there are no wrong answers, and you will get whatever will serve you best, regardless.
