9 Signs You’re Manifesting Your Dreams

1. Synchronicity - there are no accidents. Noticing synchronicity in our lives is a clear indication that we’re living in alignment with our true purpose, which how we manifest our dreams. Look out for 11:11, meeting strangers who help us and being in the right place at the right time.

2. Love - the highest vibration. Doing what we love is the only way to make our dreams come true, when what we say, think & do are all in harmony we will manifest the reality we desire.

3. Presence - being in the now. The process of manifestation only occurs in one place - the now. When we make a conscious effort to tune into the present moment as often as possible we can create the life of our dreams.

4. Tribe - those we attract are fulfilled. Our vibe attracts our tribe, if we are in the process of manifesting our dreams we will attract others who are doing the same because there is a commonality between us - we are fulfilled.

5. Fulfilment - not needing anything attracts everything. When we are fulfilled we do not seek anything from the external world to satisfy us, we provide our own fulfilment because we are doing what we love which is how we manifest our dreams.

6. Peace - living without inner conflict. Not feeling conflicted when making decisions - big or small - is a clear sign that we we have clarity of mind which is essential for manifesting our dreams.

7. Purpose - understanding the path we’re on. Knowing our place in the world & acting in accordance to our true heart’s desires allows us to manifest our dreams by placing our trust in the universe and knowing that whatever is coming is better than what has gone.

8. Oneness - feeling connected. Being able to see how everyone and everything is connected and understand why things had to happen the way they did to bring us here is a clear sign we’re on the path to manifesting our dreams.

9. Ego - keeping ourselves in check. When we are fulfilled we are more likely to respond to others from a place of love, rather than trying to satisfy the ego which leads to acting out of insecurity - this blocks our manifestation process.

We manifest our dreams using our thoughts, beliefs & actions.

Peace & positive vibes.

William Greaves: Symbiopsychotaxiplasm, 1968

In his one-of-a-kind fiction/documentary hybrid Symbiopsychotaxiplasm Take One, director William Greaves presides over a beleaguered film crew in New York’s Central Park, leaving them to try to figure out what kind of movie they’re making. A couple enacts a break-up scenario over and over, a documentary crew films a crew filming the crew, locals wander casually into the frame: the project defies easy description. Yet this wildly innovative sixties counterculture landmark remains one of the most tightly focused and insightful movies ever made about making movies. Criterion presents this long-unreleased gem in a special two-disc edition, along with its sequel, Take 2½, made thirty-five years later with executive producers Steven Soderbergh and Steve Buscemi.

O Tamaiti, Sima Urale’s 1997

The title links to the film you should actually watch this. It’s one of the best short films I’ve seen period.

Pasifika in Print: They Who Do Not Grieve, Sia Figel

Malu, brought up by her grandmother, has only a ghostly memory of her dead mother. And ‘malu’ is also the name of the Samoan woman’s traditional tattoo, and the shame and grief not completing the tattoo ceremony can haunt a life forever. Young Malu, watching the Americans living on the island, sees the modern way, the Nineties discontent overtaking the Sixties notions of an island paradise, whilst hearing tales from the older Samoan women of the old life. Although destined to repeat the patterns of the past, Malu can turn them into vivid stories for the future.

I went back home this weekend for my brothers birthday and was rummaging through the family bookcase (it’s filled with books no one wants) looking for an overdue that I had left there. Instead of finding it I found a copy of this book I ordered from Book Depository when I was 14 and trying to figure out what it meant to be a Samoan women. I think some books you read and you feel like your coming home. I felt this way reading Tim Winton’s The Turning and They Who Do Not Grieve.

The Tuilagi brothers talking about their sister Julie and how fa'afafines are seen by the Samoan culture.

(The audio was screwed up; from the point Manu said “our sister" onward, there was loud humming and I could hear almost nothing… I had to go by guessing and lip-reading, so the text might be a little off. I think that is the essence of what they were saying, though.)
