Lessons on the True Manifestation

In the last few decades, manifestation has become increasingly more popular. It's no wonder, it claims to be an easy way to get whatever your heart desires, including more money, cars, Love, etc. Spiritual "leaders" and YouTubers everywhere all have their spin on how to manifest. From "feel that it's already happened" to "give gratitude for what you want" to "raise your vibration to attract your desires." There are many different opinions on the subject. Misleading opinions. Not always intentionally, but we've been given some manifestation misdirection.

So, what is the best way to manifest? …you don't! 

Historically, we were given strategic instructions on manipulating the Universe to manifest our desires, including cars, money, the dream job, and more. This is manifestation from an ego perspective. It is manifestation from a place of lack. When you partake in this kind of manifestation, you tell the Universe (aka God) that your ego knows best. You're saying my ego and earthly desires take precedence over my Soul's desire or plan for my life.

There's a better way, and that is to live in wholeness, trusting that the Universe will unfold precisely as it should. Let's dive in! 

1. All desire stems from the journey back to Love. When you live from a place of wholeness, you don't have any desires outside of more Love. We have been conditioned to seek Love outside of ourselves. This can be sex, food, money, career, etc. Once we understand that we are whole in Love and that everything we have ever wanted is within us, we no longer seek that validation from outside of ourselves. We knock out any need for manifestation in this one understanding. In every desire, we are seeking Love and a connection with source. 

2. The Universe is intelligent, way more intelligent than you are! It's funny that we identify so strongly with our egos and minds that we think we are our thoughts. That the mind we have in our heads IS who we are, and that mind controls us! Oh, how wrong we are! The ultimate director of this play is the Soul. The Soul holds the master plan of your life, and there's an entire cavalry of beings supporting and pushing you forward. All you have to do is listen to them and follow their guidance. 

3. Trust that the Universe will unfold precisely as it should. When you worry, control, force, or manifest (in the traditional sense), you are telling the Universe that you don't trust it to take care of you. You must trust that the Universe will unfold for the highest good. Part of this process is detachment.

4. True manifestation is in the BE-ing. Think of it as manifesting from the soul perspective, wholeness, and Love. From this perspective, we realize that our only focus is being God-like. Grabbing love waves (pure potential) and sending them out to the other God forms around us to share and create more Love. Practically speaking, this can look like gratitude, serving others, smiling, or donating money to a charity. You, a God of Love and light, live from the Soul's perspective in complete trust. A side effect of this way of living is that all that Love comes back to you tenfold. The intention is not for the side effect but the desire to live in your nature. 

5. Practical Action Items for Beginners of "True Manifestation." 

   • The re-imagined vision board

     • Create a vision board, but instead of adding a bunch of external desires to it, add representations of who you are from a soul's perspective.
       

Re-Imagined Vision Board

• I love the dog… and God.

  • If you struggle to keep your internal dialog in check, try this! Whenever your brain tells you something untrue or your ego goes on a loop, respond with "I love the dog and god." This redirects your brain (re-wire) and your attention to Love. Now, I'll say that it took me some time to surrender to the Love of God. I chalk this up to my nature of rebelling against my upbringing. So, for me, it was easier to start with the dog. And if you know the truth of the Universe, you know that everything is made of God, including the dog. So I started there. But you can start wherever you are. You can start with the "trees and god" or the "cat and Love," knowing that all of these things ARE God. We are putting our attention on the only true thing in existence: Love, aka God. Note that I use the word God, you could use Source, Love, etc. God isn't a big guy in the sky, it's a layer of consciousness!

• Heart-centered meditation

  • You've heard this one before: meditate on Love. It doesn't matter how you meditate; just make sure you are focusing on Love. Again, we're not talking about romantic Love; we're talking about real Love—that energy all around us that creates the Universe. We're talking about God. 

• Rapid-fire gratitude

  • If you struggle to get to a place of Love, then try rapid-fire gratitude. Someone once said gratitude is the fastest way to love. Rapid Fire Gratitude sounds like this: thank you for the sun, thank you for my shoes, thank you for my legs, thank you for my dog, thank you for the earth, thank you for hugs, thank you for chai lattes, thank you for… Keep going until you feel like you are going to cry. Your gratitude will oscillate between the external and the internal items, and that's okay! We can be grateful for all of it. 

• Meatless Mondays

  • Part of living in Love is understanding that we are all connected, and therefore, it's time to start loving our animal friends and stop eating them. An easy way to get started is participating in Meatless Mondays. This is where, one day a week, you and your family commit to going animal-free. This is not only great for the Soul but also wonderful for the environment and everyone around you. 

Happy manifesting from the Soul!
