Hi Reader,
I often see people on Reddit who are disillusioned with manifestation teachings because they didn’t get what they wanted, claiming that they quit manifesting.
They say it doesn't work and they're right, they should give up.
I think we should all give up on using the techniques and trying to manifest.
But here's the thing. We can't really quit manifestation.
You can't quit being conscious.
I manifested my morning cup of coffee and even the pavement I walked on before that. We are manifesting everything, all day long.
A parking spot, a conversation with a friend.
Your human self is like a game hero, and awareness is like the entire game universe, only rendering what is being observed at that moment.
You are the awareness that animates all experience.
Without you there's only the eternal nothingness.
Instead, trying so hard to design this life as you think it should be and move towards what you feel it should be.
There was a time I "tried to manifest" a better pay at my corporate job, a promotion and more opportunities - but it was what made me feel so tired and anxious. It was not my path.
We can't quit manifesting but we can quit using our energy, attention and effort into something that only makes things worse.
We only find out what it is when we allow ourselves to go within, feel what comes up and letting go what no longer serves us.
And if you feel like your path is hard, here's a little pick-me-up:
the time passes anyway, where would you be in 1-2-5 years if you did all the same as you do now versus if you took that one small step everyday towards a better life?
Both paths are hard - so choose your hard...
Oof, it turned a bit too serious here lol the thing is: I know you can do great things if you wanted to and I'm rooting for you. Always.
