Do you need to "act as if" to manifest your desires? 🦋
The internet is filled with people saying all kinds of confusing stuff in an effort to sound smart, well-read, sorted! 🤷🏻♀️
🐳 Afterall, the topic of manifestation is so fucking open ended that, given that you use a few core words here and there, more than half of the population willl end up believing it as true.
It's a curse, really!
🪄 But, don't worry. I'm here to keep y'all focused and away from all the shit advise you probably here or read about day in, day out!
🐳 One such piece of advice is this sentence someone had written SO FUCKING PROUDLY on one of the subs on Reddit. Here it goes ~
"You’re not manifesting money because you’re still acting like someone who doesn’t have it. READ THAT AGAIN."
That made me crack up! 😂
He also added a fucking "read that again" at the end for emphasis! Bro really thought he cooked with this shit! 😂🤦🏻♀️
Well, time to get down to business and pick this half-assed useless quote apart bit by bit.
So let's disassemble this shit advice, shall we?
✨️✨️✨️✨️
🐳 What is the quote trying to convey?
Let's first establish the clear meaning of the quote, yeah?
We'll keep it as literal as possible so there's no grounds for misunderstanding later.
It says,
"You’re not manifesting money because you’re still acting like someone who doesn’t have it. READ THAT AGAIN."
🐳 What this means, essentially, is that the ONLY reason you are still in a state of poverty or lack of money is because you act and/or behave in certain ways that align more with a person who is poor, rather than someone who is rich.
Fair enough.
🐳 But what does it mean by "acting" here?
🪄 Is the quote referring to the actions you take on a day to day basis when you are wide awake
🪄 Or is it pointing to something deeper than that say, how you react to certain situations during the day when presented with the proof of poverty in your life?
🪄 Does it mean that you should just go all out and start spending your heart out brcause hey, that's what you'll be doing when you get a shit ton of money, yeah?
🪄 OR does it mean that you should walk with your head high, feelin like a BOSSS because hey, that's what symbolises wealth apparently! 😂
So, which is it? It's like trying to pull out a needle from a haystack!
See, THIS is my problem with people throwing random words like this, and that too so fucking confidently. 🙄
This quote is open to so many interpretations that mostly lead to misunderstandings in the minds of newbies, ultimately fucking their practice up and setting them up for failure and frustration.
✨️✨️✨️✨️
The truth is, you are NOT supposed to "act like you are wealthy" in your 3D to manifest money.
NO!
That's not the way to go about it. Let's explore this in detail, yeah?
🐳 Why is "acting as if" during the day a bad idea?
There's a VERY simple explanation for this.
You see during the day, your mind is HYPER ACTIVE. It is busy with processing FACTUAL data. Data that's solidly backed up by proof.
🪄 For example:
It's Sunday today. My conscious mind ACCEPTS that fact when I say it.
You wanna know why?
Because it knows that there's PROOF that it's Sunday today. If I were to open the calendar and see what day it is today? It'll say - Sunday, 25th May, 2025!!
THERE'S my fucking proof. And my conscious mind NEEDS proof.
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
But hey, now let's apply that quote here for a second and see how that fares with an example.
So, according to that quote cited above, if my desire is to jump into Friday, the ONLY reason it's NOT Friday for me right now is because I am not acting like someone for whom it's Friday today, instead of Sunday, correct?
Alrighty, then.
😒 Let me "act as if" it's Friday now, yeah?
🦋 I open the calendar and see clearly that the proof is pointing towards Sunday. But for me, riding high on cool-aid 😂, it's Friday so I go ahead and declare ~
"Nah, i don't care what the proof says. It's Friday for me!" 🤷🏻♀️
🐳 Now, this illicits an IMMEDIATE response from my conscious mind.
My mind is fucking concerned about me right now.
Because I am not going AGAINST the only fact that makes sense currently i.e.It's Sunday, NOT FRIDAY!
But I am adamant.
I keep declaring it's Friday.
🐳 The more I push it onto my conscious mind, the MORE IT RETALIATES.
Because you see, my conscious mind's duty is to keep me sharp and grounded in reality of WHAT IS. This is so I can function properly in this 3-D world.
Me blatantly disregardaing the truth and getting stuck on a statement that's not serving the conscious mind's purpose to help me function peoperly in the 3D creates a lot of inner conflict.
And, instead of helping me manifest my desire, this fucks my inner environment up and leads to a lot of "fear" that stems from my conscious mind because now it's afraid that I am not really sane enough to function properly in the 3D!
🤷🏻♀️ You see what happens when, instead of accepting the outer reality as it is, you try to CHANGE IT FORCEFULLY?
✨️✨️✨️✨️
🐳 So how CAN you safely assume that it's Friday, wrt this example?
Easy.
You don't try to convince your conscious mind of it. You accept that CURRENTLY it's SUNDAY in this reality.
BUT, you simply close your eyes and conjure up the FEELING of it being Friday.
After closing your eyes, you are no longer adhered to the laws and rules of the 3D world. You have now created a separation between these two worlds.
🐳 And now, for you, the only thing that matters is what you FEEL within your imagination.
You see, you couldn't lie about it being Friday while your conscious mind was hyper active.
🪄 But here, in your imagination, you can do whatever the fuck you want and there's no part of your conscious mind that's going to say, "But this isn't real at all!"
🪄 It's REAL TO YOU in your imagination and that's what matters IN THAT MOMENT.
✨️✨️✨️✨️
🐳 THIS is the ONLY way you can "act as if" you have what you want ~ IN YOUR IMAGINATION.
Do not listen to all these people who would rather you eent about your day acting like a delusional idiot! 🤷🏻♀️
No!
The point is to ACKNOWLEDGE the currwnt reality as it is. And then GO INTO YOUR IMAGINATION and experience the reality that OUGHT TO BE.
I know this topic has been explained a lot of times before too but it's important enough to warrant as much repetition as possible.
Until next time,
**R A I N** ☔️
