Defining terms used in manifestation
When you're viewing content in the manifestation community, you'll see a lot of terms and abbreviations being repeated. Maybe you don't know what they mean or they haven't been explained to you yet. If you're new to learning about manifesting or just need a reminder of what certain terms mean, then this post is for you. I'm going to list common terms and abbreviations used, and what they mean specifically in relation to manifesting.
Manifestation - something you assumed or attracted showing up in your reality.
Instant manifestation - a manifestation coming to you right away because you know it's already yours and trust you can get it as soon as you tell yourself it's true (but, keep in mind, everyone defines "instantaneous" differently).
Law of Assumption (LOA) - acting, thinking, and assuming that what you believe to be true is true.
Law of Attraction (also LOA) - attracting what you want through positive thoughts and actions. (Some people view this and Law of Assumption as the same thing, some don't. I personally see Attraction as believing the universe will bring the good things to you through you getting yourself into a state of knowing you attract what you want vs Assumption as knowing what you want is already yours.)
Shifting - the transition of you and your reality changing into what you see it as.
Methods/techniques - various ways of trying to bring yourself into the wish fulfilled state (ie. using affirmations, watching subliminals, practicing SATs)
Affirmations - the motivational and inspirational phrases you tell (and often repeat to) yourself to help you get into your wish fulfilled state.
Robotic affirmations - phrases you tell (and often repeat to) yourself, indifferently stating (not using inspirational or motivational words) what you have to help you get into your wish fulfilled state.
Subliminal - a sound and/or visual that's used to reach your senses (and possibly hypnotize you) to get you into the wish fulfilled state.
Sign(s) - seeing things (ie. repetitive angel numbers) that relate to your manifestation or the process of getting to your wish fulfilled state, or that point to your manifestation becoming/being true.
Angel numbers - repetitive numbers that stand for something to help guide you or point you in a certain direction when manifesting or getting into the wish fulfilled state.
Movement - things/parts involved in your manifestation that are moving ahead in a positive direction before your manifestation is 100% fulfilled.
Bridge of events - the events that naturally unfold as your manifestation is coming to fruition in your 3D reality, which you may or may not witness go down.
Behind the scenes - when things are unfolding without you knowing or seeing.
Divine guidance - the natural urge to take action as the bridge of events unfolds. (You do this without thinking about your manifestation and won't realize that this is leading you to it as it's happening.)
Wavering - you spiraling or losing faith/hope in your manifestation, often caused by something you witness in your 3D reality that doesn't match your 4D reality or what you believe to be true.
Doubts - thoughts of your manifestation not coming true or not showing up in the way you want it to.
Limits/limitations - claiming "I can't have this because of [x, y, and z];" thinking something is "too big" or "impossible" for you to achieve, so you do something that stops your manifestation from happening or makes it more challenging to get.
Circumstances - something/multiple things going on that challenges/goes against you and your manifestation that you didnât start and is âbeyond your controlâ (but remember: they don't matter).
Abundance - when many things you manifest come to you quickly, easily, and consistently, or something youâve manifested doesnât stop.
Vibrations - constant or frequent noise and thoughts that can change based on you shifting, your thoughts, your feelings, your energy, and your overall state of mind.
Wish fulfilled state (or state of wish fulfilled) - the end state of LOA; the mental state of knowing what you believe to be true is true or knowing you're attracting what you want, and your manifestation shows in both your 4D and 3D realm; your 4D reality has become your 3D reality. (Your wish has been fulfilled - you know and can see that it has been.)
3D realm/reality, current reality/realm (CR) - what you physically see and interact with.
4D realm/reality, desired reality/realm (DR) - what you envision in your mind to be true; the reality you desire to have.
Specific person (SP) - the special/certain person (it can be anybody in your life) who you're focused on manifesting into a specific role or having act in a certain way towards you.
3rd party (3P) - something (ie. a negative circumstance, another person who isn't your SP) that you feel is getting in the way of your manifestation becoming true.
Everyone is you pushed out (EIYPO) - the people in your life and the way they show up are direct reflections of you, including your beliefs, assumptions, and emotions.
State Akin to Sleep (SAT) - a technique created by philosopher Neville Goddard where you imagine/envision what you desire and believe as true as you're falling asleep.
God State - the state of believing that you are a god or godlike and that you have the ultimate power to manifest anything and are currently doing so.
Void state - the state of being in the dark/empty void as you shift into a different reality or state of mind.
"Lucky" state - the state of believing you're simply lucky enough to have everything automatically come to you.
Self concept - who you make yourself to be based on your own beliefs and others' perceptions of you.
Revision - changing things that have already been done in the past to rewrite/shift into your new reality and what you believe to be true.
Resistance - pushing away your manifestation because something is hindering you from believing it can happen.
Persistence - continuing to believe you have what you desire and consistently doing things to help you believe it/stay in that state of mind.
Detachment - letting go of the need to constantly think or act upon your manifestation because you know it's already yours, no further steps need to be taken. (This is commonly misconstrued as "giving up" on your manifestation entirely - due to the word's negative connotation - when that's not the case at all.)
Neutrality/indifference - taking your 3D reality for what it is and not reacting to anything with positive or negative emotions; just knowing you already have what you desire and not worrying about the 3D or needing to push yourself to get into the wish fulfilled state.
Rampaging - repeating a phrase or thought over and over to yourself as a technique to get into your wish fulfilled state, typically done when you're experiencing strong emotions and want to manifest something as quick as possible.
No contact (NC) - not being in contact with your SP (ie. they have you blocked, they're simply not talking to you either by choice or circumstance).
