I’ve been watching a lot about real world manifestation as of late.
Apologies in advance to the TTRPG fans out there. This article relates more to Law of Attraction and what I’m working to manifest rather than tabletop roleplaying. I’m going through a bit of a mental struggle when it comes to TTRPG content as of late. This is just taking a step back to catch my breath before all kinds of things happen.
For those who maybe aren’t familiar with the Manifestation process, Law of Attraction or Vibration, this might seem pretty esoteric and weird. Not my normal blog content, but I do spend a lot of time learning about it and living in it as my spiritual journey progresses. Manifestation is not make believe. It is the process of reshaping reality. Once you get deep enough in the weeds, it can be a real mind bender. I think I understand now why some very spiritual people partake in Ayahuasca rituals and the like.
You can’t doubt something you’ve already seen happen.
Neville Goddard talks a great deal about “living in the wish fulfilled.” The Wikipedia article is okay, but I definitely recommend checking out some of his books and/or audio recordings as well. Trust me, the Law of Attraction/Law of Assumption crowd on YouTube has this covered and then some.
Basically, what Goddard referred to is putting a clear and powerful intention out into the world by speaking it aloud or writing it down. Then, every night before sleep, again upon waking, and maybe once during the day imagine having the person, money, thing, or whatever as if you are there. How does it feel? Maybe run through part of the day with the thing or person you’ve manifested.
My favorite example Goddard mentions is the homeless person who imagined what it would be like to live in a house. Every day that person would wake up in the house, visit it during the day, and fall asleep at night spending time in their house. This person knew every inch of that house from top to bottom, including the paint, the furniture, the floor, even the smells of food coming from the kitchen all in their mind. They relived that dream over and over every day because it was a beautiful place.
Time went by, and wouldn’t you know, they finally found themselves living in their dream house! They never asked, “How is this going to happen?” They never looked up floorplans on the Internet for days. (Little hard to do that in the 1930’s in New York.) But it for real happened for them.
The Power of Positivity.
Once the Intention is set, you’re most of the way there. Is the chair you’re sitting in solid? At one time someone imagined the design of that chair. The chair is made of atoms. Atoms, science says, are mostly particles of energy floating around one another in a specific pattern. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Setting the intention just pulls energy from the ether/vortex/unformed state to a formed state where it can be introduced into our reality.
(*Did I mention this sounds a lot strange to people?) In the case of manifesting other people (for romance, business, or casual platonic friendship) obviously they already exist. Manifesting a person is more about pulling them into one’s own life experience. Money is either physical form or electronic information carried through cyberspace via wires and radio waves. (*Energy.)
The best part of manifestation, the art of making dreams a reality, is not necessarily knowing how it’s going to happen, but trusting that it has already happened. The rest is up to God/Source/Great Spaghetti Monster That Created Everything/Whatever You Wish to Call It. Living in that moment of blissful satisfaction is just a signal to the subconscious mind that it’s already real. The subconscious mind is the massive hunk of iceberg below the mental water line.
How does positivity fit into this? The bitter, angry, skeptic does what? They naturally doubt, berate, and belittle everything and anything who is not-them. It’s hard to debate them because everything and everyone is wrong but them. It’s difficult at best for them to believe that anything wonderful and unexpected could come their way. In fact, many times they manifest the same negative garbage they project out into the world.
On the other hand, we have people on this Earth who are just a pleasure to be around. They’re just a ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy landscape. The Universe loves that energy. Love is the highest vibration and like attracts like energy. Kindness, selflessness, forgiveness, mindfulness, and compassion are all qualities that many subconscious manifesters exude almost daily. Optimism goes a long freakin way toward getting results fast.
How do I know it works?
I have a lot of similar intentions that I work with every day. I meditate toward mid-morning and always include tons of gratitude and drop in part of the wish fulfilled. One of my intentions that I set forth verbally, scripted, and through affirmations as well as subliminals is money. I’ve usually got specific projects in mind, but this particular week it was just a general intention.
Well, surprise! Kind of a surprise, anyway. A check for $129.56 that I had no idea about, came out of seemingly nowhere. I am so happy and grateful for the groceries that check bought to feed my family this week! We’d have been hurtin for certain without it. One of my other intentions is to make sure my family has everything they need and are taken care of. That sure worked out beautifully.
I can’t even express how grateful I am that the Universe dropped that little gem on me. I have lots of love in my heart for that one. The kinda crazy part is- I did not see that one coming at all. Just put the intention out there and tried my best to stay positive all week.
Doubt sucks.
I find the phrase, “Nobody reads your dumb blog anyway,” particularly disturbing. It’s like a Dark Side tremor in the Force in Star Wars terms. I usually don’t watch my statistics too closely on WordPress. I’ve noticed the more I check my daily numbers the more they seem to fall off. They seem to drop even lower if I start to obsess and try to guess what’s going to be popular. (Google Analytics is highly underrated, btw. I think it’s great despite my attempts to use it as a guide.)
I get around the doubt in this particular case by just putting my intention out there, putting my articles out there, and trust they will find their way to people who resonate with the message. Sometimes I do set an intention for my blog to be successful, but success is measured in terms of happiness, not numbers.
The Universe has a way of proving a point.
Presuming we are all just different fragments of the same Source energy, and everyone is basically another version of us pushed out, then we create all of these circumstances for ourselves. Everything is a choice. There’s lots more ups and downs to this than I can explain here, but I’ll cover it some other time. The main point I want to drop here is that there is no getting it “wrong.”
I’ve observed that the Universe has this neat habit of showing us when we’re on the “right” course toward our manifestations. I’ve never had a lot of nudges when I’m headed away from a manifestation, but I believe I regularly get confirmation I’m doing my best and headed toward good things. Synchronicities are very telling and super important to me.
I’ve said many times on here, “There are no such things as coincidences.”
I will die on that freakin hill. Everything that can be labeled a coincidence is a synchronicity. It’s the Universe/God/Source putting something in our path or calling attention to it. It’s usually a good sign in one form or another. Again, I could go on about synchronicities for hours. It’s why I have a fascination with dice, runes, and other random generators.
Everything occurs (for me) in divine timing. I lost track of how many times I’ve said that affirmation this past couple of weeks. Seems to help. It’s important to remember that the Universe reflects back everything, not just the warm fuzzy stuff. Stay positive, because the minute I start worrying Murphy’s Law is going to strike, it usually does.
Anxiety and doubt aren’t the death of manifestation, but they put the brakes on.
“Good things always happen for me.” It’s a good affirmation. “What’s the best that can happen?” is another one I use a lot. Believing things are going to go to shit usually means, well… you know. The Universe almost always gives you back the energy you put out into the world.
Money has ears and it hears when I call it. Worrying about finances just tells the Universe I want more to worry about. Being positive about finances though? Being grateful every day for what I have? Oh. Oh. Great things usually follow. Please give me more things to be thankful for.
Now, social media and YouTube can royally crush my groove.
I’ll be going along getting ready to meditate or spend some time in my wish fulfilled and suddenly this little nagging voice crops up.
Voice: Remember “Blah” YouTube shmuck that royally cheeses you off and that dumb thing he said on a video the other day?
Me: Shut up and sit down. I’m trying to focus on gratitude here. That dude can go kick rocks.
Voice: Nah. Remember how annoyed you got with him? Remember?
Me: Yes, yes. Letting it go with love and light now. Back to meditation now. Stay in the now moment.
That lovely cycle managed to repeat itself for over 22 minutes the other day. Can you believe that shit? It only gets worse if I get frustrated with myself. Sometimes it’s hard just to let that particular hamster just run on the wheel while I get down on serious business. That YouTuber is taking up way too much of my headspace. (*It’s valuable real estate up there sometimes.)
I finally got a decent meditation in on Friday to more than make up for it. But it’s amazing how annoyed I get with some silly little things. I keep telling myself to let it go. Then for some unknown reason I check back for confirmation that dude still annoys the Hell out of me. It’s like some kind of weird masochism at this point and I really need it to stop.
I’ve seriously debated about a social media/YouTube cleanse. Basically go a week or two where I remove X (Twitter) from my phone and only watch certain tightly curated playlists I’ve made for myself on YouTube. Social media is still an important part of my blog’s promotion. I’m not about to delete everything and start over. I just need to stay away from the often toxic cesspool that his TTRPG X (Twitter) and parts of toxic TTRPG YouTube.
Let me be clear. There are wonderful, awesome, beautiful, positive people on YouTube. There are guys I watch who don’t even realize how great they actually are. There are also a couple of separate dudes I would run off that platform tomorrow if I could. I never imagined I would say that because YouTube has actually been a great source of joy and comfort for me over the last 10 years.
Is getting distracted going to stop my manifestation from happening.
Abso-friggin-lutely NOT! One of the rules of LoA is living with the notion it’s already done. Living in the wish fulfilled is acknowledging it’s already done. Worrying that some silly little nuisance is going to grind my manifestation to a halt is just going to give the Universe a cue to give me more junk to worry about. Who wants that?
Future me is still going to have to deal with the occasional idiot. The me that has already manifested those intentions I put out is still going to run across some unpleasant shit on any given day. Not because I’m trying to manifest negativity, but because we don’t control everything or anything. (*Paradox. Yeesh.) Future me understands I overcame all the junk and how. Now we’re living happily with what we intended. (I don’t blog all of my intentions. Sorry.)
That’s also why I talk about looking at fuzzy duckies and bunnies online sometimes. Honestly, sometimes I need to be reminded there are cute, wonderful, unconditionally loving little creatures out there. Kittens are great, too. Cats can see and hear things humans are unaware of. (*I have a very long theory about pets’ vision I’ll expound upon someday.)
So if I’m quiet on X (Twitter,) Threads, Mastodon, BlueSky, Instagram, etc the next couple of weeks, I’m fine. I’m just avoiding the toxicity that oozes from the lower end of TTRPG space. Those guys on YouTube that think they’re God’s give to roleplaying? Yup. Kicking them out of my headspace for a while. I really wish them well, difficult though that is to say.
Thank you for being here today with me. I appreciate you. Please embrace the things that bring you the most joy.
