What does it mean to manifest? It seems to be making or showing by evidence or demonstration that you have acquired your dreams, goals, or aspirations as a reality by believing you can achieve them. (www.verywellmi...) In the egoic world, the main method for manifesting is based on the power of positive thinking, and the belief that causes this to happen is the law of attraction.
So, by thinking positive thoughts, you will acquire your dreams, goals, and aspirations from the outside Universe. The techniques most used to do this are saying positive affirmations and creating a vision board of your dreams, goals, and aspirations. By using these techniques, your dreams, goals, or aspirations, which are in the outside Universe, will be attracted to you. As they arrive, you will have evidence and can demonstrate you have manifested them into your life.
Let us look closer at this process. There is an assumption underlying this approach. We must assume that the Universe, the outside infinite system, The All, Consciousness is stupid and easily tricked by lies and deceit.
The first time you say your affirmation or your happy, positive thought, it is a lie; if it were not a lie, you would not have to affirm it. You would be it. So, it is not The All that is being fooled. You are being fooled into believing you don’t have to do anything except say a happy thought, and everything will come to you.
Now for the truth. Beyond the illusion, Manifestation is not about attracting stuff from the Universe. It is about you changing. This is a mind game The All is playing with you. Think of how often you must say your affirmation to attract The All to give you what you want. Is it once a day, five times a day, or more? It is hundreds of times a day. The fewer times per day you say your affirmations, the longer it will take. There is a whole process for manifesting, and most people quit before they reach their goal. They look for a new technique or add more stuff to their vision board to try and manifest.
Look at the process again. “You become what you think about all day long.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. ( / you-become-what-you-th... ) The more you say your affirmation and look at your vision board, the more you are thinking about what you will become. When your affirmations are no longer lies, you will be attracted to your dreams, goals, or aspirations.
Manifestations are not about the Universe doing anything. They are about you becoming a person who deserves the dreams, goals, and aspirations you want. Everything is in the mind first, then manifested into your world. To have your heart’s desire, you must change your mind.
The Wisdom in A Course in Miracles: “Psychotherapy is the only form of therapy there is. Since only the mind can be sick, only the mind can be healed. Only the mind is in need of healing. This does not appear to be the case, for the manifestations of this world seem real indeed.” (acim.org/acim/... | P-in.1:1-4)
When you believe manifesting is getting stuff from the Universe, it is a long, hard road because you are on the wrong path. When you know that it is you who must change, and you start down that path, heaven and earth will rush to your side to support you.
Buddha said, “We are what we think, all that we are arises with our thoughts, with our thoughts we make the world.” ( / we-are-what-we-think )
This is not a new understanding I am putting forward. It is ancient wisdom. You will change when you move behind the illusion, and a new vision will present itself.
Peace.
