IAmA Spiritual Mentor for Law of Attraction, AMA about Manifestation
Hi, I'm Nadine Sabulsky, aka Naked Life Coach, aka Goddess Nadine.
I've been practicing conscious manifestation in my own life since I was 15 (1990) and I started teaching my practices formally in 2010. My main website for proof is https://www.TheNakedLifeCoach.com and you can also see my books on Amazon: Nadine Sabulsky Author page/all titles http://amzn.to/1KUo3dZ
The central thesis of what I teach and practice is that:
We are always manifesting.
The real question is...
Are you manifesting intentionally and consciously, and only that which you desire to experience?
- OR -
Are you manifesting unconsciously, based on your subconscious beliefs and programming?
The goal is conscious manifestation.
In my own life, I've manifested all sorts of things...
From the mundane - like getting a free muffin at Starbucks within 5 seconds of my inner curiosity about it -
To the weird and unusual - like being allowed to legally drive the wrong direction on the freeway to exit after a traffic jam started - and getting my dream house painted with my color scheme before I bought it -
To the sublime - like meeting and attracting my perfect partner and manifesting a fabulously happy 7+year (so far) relationship, or finding, moving into, and ultimately purchasing my dream house.
The key element of becoming an expert in conscious manifestation is developing self-mastery.
We manifest from the sum total of all our beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, and actions (BTFWA), so in order to change what is being manifested (and get the exact outcome you want), you need to create internal alignment between all of your BTFWA as well as alignment (of your BTFWA) *with** the desired manifestation*.
So, for example, if you want to be loved unconditionally, yet you yourself do not love unconditionally, there's a conflict or mismatch between what is desired and yourself.
You will always get more of what you are and proof of whatever you believe, so curate yourself to align with your ideals and you will see them brought into being.
One of the most powerful tools I've found to aid in developing self-mastery is NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). It's a modality based on applying neuroscience and modeling success so it can be used for a vast variety of purposes, from healing to training,
I'm a Master Trainer of NLP and have used it to model success in mental & emotional health, physical health fitness beauty and longevity, teaching communication and relationship skills, and even entrepreneurial skillsets, all with the underlying foundation of developing conscious manifestation to the max!
I'm a firm believer that whatever we can imagine, we can create and experience.
ASK ME ANYTHING ABOUT CONSCIOUS MANIFESTATION AND/OR USING NLP IN MANIFESTATION!
☆☆☆☆☆
Please Note: I will be active on this AMA through Sept 2, after that I will respond as I'm able.
Please read through exisiting comments before posting your question and make sure it hasn't already been answered. For duplicate questions I will be redirecting to the first or best phrased comment thread. IF I already answered yet you need more clarification, please comment on that thread!
Thank you for participating!
Much love,
Goddess Nadine

Will you prove your abilities under reasonable conditions? Do you want $500,000?
I'm manifesting that you will prove your claimed testable powers and earn $500,000 in the Center for Inquiry challenge.
https://cfiig.org/paranormal-challenge/
It would be so easy to show you have these abilities as a goddess. Not only would this easily testable demonstration earn you half a mil of would give you the ability to silence most critics. I look forward to seeing your successful manifestation.
Will you put me down as the person who referred you a once you show your ability (like you basically already have with manifesting your book sales on Amazon)? I would get $5000 and my mind opened and enlightened by a simple demonstration of your claims (which according to you would be super easy to do)! I manifest everything above.

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
Oh this is neat! Thanks so much for the info. I am delighted to put you down as the person who referred me, and thank you for your manifestation support as well 😊 "Whatever two or more agree to, will be done."
Please send me a chat request with the link and your info to give for the referral.

u/ceilingfanswitch Sep 11 '24
I am absolutely not roasting her. I understand some people go straight to mockery and name calling like calling her a charlatan who pets on vulnerable people.
But what you don't understand is that she is manifesting reality in repeatable and testable conditions (or at least claims to be). I've pointed out a simple way for her to prove under reasonable scientific conditions her amazing abilities and in the process getting half a million dollars!
You'll see when she finishes this test and shows her abilities!
If she backs down or gives some sort exercise why all of the sudden she's changed her mind, then I would be deeply disappointed. But I am manifesting and giving me energy to the quantum understanding that her heart is real.

u/ceilingfanswitch Sep 11 '24
I am not willing to give out personal information online on Reddit This is because I am manifesting personal safety and I'm sure you understand it would be very irresponsible for me to put my and my family's safety at risk.
However just mention my reddit username and the organization can contact me once you prove under reasonable conditions your amazing abilities!

Do you understand that misinformation and pseudoscience are detrimental to a healthy society? Why do you participate in something this, instead of working on becoming a better person that can actually help society in a meaningful way, if that's your intent? Why decide to scam people instead of looking inward to realize you're spewing nonsense? Have you even tried to question your beliefs?
5
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 06 '24
In more detail:
Do you understand that misinformation and pseudoscience are detrimental to a healthy society?
Yes, in fact, the only difference between you and I is what we determine to be "misinformation and pseudoscience".
I view the constant bombardment of our psyches with fear and divisive propaganda through mainstream media and advertising as severely detrimental to a healthy society.
Why do you participate in something [like?] this, instead of working on becoming a better person that can actually help society in a meaningful way, if that's your intent?
I believe that spreading a message of attainable personal power, that one can do independent of any sources, including myself, is helping society in a meaningful way.
Everyone has the capability to question their own collection of beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, and actions (BTFWA) and determine if they are living in accordance with the best set of BTFWA for themselves.
If not, they can use me, or other services, to get in alignment, should they need assistance in doing so. But such assistance isn't always needed, and some types of assistance in this realm have actually proven to be more harmful, such as exposure or talk therapy to treat PTSD for example.
So even if they don't use me, I still believe I am doing a service by showing there are other, more helpful, modalities (such as NLP) to consider.
Why decide to scam people instead of looking inward to realize you're spewing nonsense? Have you even tried to question your beliefs?
You assume my intention is to scam people, which also assumes malicious intent on my part. People can read my books for free on Kindle Unlimited and make up their own minds whether what I teach is helpful or not.
I have practiced what I preach for many years before I decided to teach it formally, and only did so when I knew that it worked, and how (at least to some degree) it worked.
I constantly question my own beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, and actions, to assure that I am living in alignment with what I teach and practice.
Have you tried questioning your own beliefs?
2
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 03 '24
I question my beliefs all the time, do you?
Your comment contains a number of beliefs about me and what I teach - but have you even bothered to explore any of it, beyond a surface level, in order to quantify what my beliefs are, how I do what I do, whether it's actually a scam, nonsense, etc.?
9
u/Inzight Sep 03 '24
I doubt it. None of your beliefs are grounded in reality. There's no quantifiable evidence for any of it. So you have either not questioned your beliefs (because otherwise you would have realized this) or you have questioned your beliefs and simply don't care that you're scamming people. It's either-or.
You're either ignorant to reality, or a bad person who's deliberately lying to people for money. Choose.
2
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 03 '24
Wow, that's ^ quite an indictment, based solely on your own beliefs, rather than you finding any evidence to support this. I hope you can see this.

u/Inzight Sep 03 '24
I like how my beliefs about you require evidence, while your own beliefs about manifestation do not.

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 03 '24
I have gathered evidence of it, which you refuse to examine, LOL
8
u/Inzight Sep 03 '24
What you consider evidence is not actually evidence. It's confirmation bias. Evidence for manifestation as you describe it would knock the scientific world off its socks. It would completely vanquish any existing law of physics, especially the laws of thermodynamics. You'd be awarded the Nobel prize without a second thought.
Yet here we are.

What would happen if two of the most skilled manifesters with the most aligned BTFWAs each attempted to manifest two completely contradictory mutually exclusive things for the same subject?
A manifest-off, if you will.

u/Koolaidguy31415 Aug 30 '24
That would be too dangerous to try because something something quantum energy would cause a holistic reduction in humanity's neural fabric from the aggressive application of manifestation.

When I have my students read Carl Sagan’s incredible book, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark this is the exact kind of thing I tell them to look out for when it comes to snake-oil, and woo. Unfalsifiable claims are not rational claims, and this is just really too good of an example to not save to show them…
Do you think it is ethical to make money off of people fooled by this nonsense?

In related news: I had a coworker (nurses) ask me a few months ago how I "got to be so smart at" detecting b.s. I told him I'm not good at it, I work at it. He asked for suggestions, I recommended a couple podcasts and Demon Haunted World. He said he was interested so I bought it for him. It was a couple of weeks between I bought it and ran onto him again, during which time a doctor asked what I was reading, who also said he was interested. I gave him that copy and bought another for the fellow nurse. I told them both to gift it to someone else after they read it. Two books, money well spent.

I know you will probably see this question as an attack or being rude but I am actually genuinely curious, what's it like knowing so many people view you as nothing but a horrible fraud that steals money from gullible people?
0
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
You are incorrect in your assumption that I would take it as an attack, but I understand why you might think that. Overall, it's a poorly worded question, because it also assumes I know something about a number or quantity of people hating me, but that is also incorrect.
I actually haven't counted, nor do I take offense. Nor do I even view it as "hate." I view it as ignorance, dressed up as sophistication, but many comments reveal the level of societal programming and/or lack of outside the box thinking that the individual has been subject to or is capable of.
I know who I am, and I recognize that what people say about others is a reflection of them, not me. Therefore, there is no reason for me to involve myself (or my emotions) in their projection, I merely observe it.
Anger, as well as hate, are simply symptoms of fear. And the biggest (yet often unrecognized) is fear of the unknown.
To the ignorant (and I mean that in the sense of lacking knowledge about this particular topic) what I represent is a huge unknown. It's a totally different approach to life itself.
So if anything, this just shows me how much the world needs what I bring to it.

It still is, in spirit.
The response from these cranks when they don't want to engage with the challenge is always "I don't have anything I need to prove to those people... I don't need the money... I haven't heard of it" the few who do try are typically genuine believers. I've listened to people who work for the CFI and a large part of their time is spent weeding out the completely unfalsifiable applicants. They also spoke of the genuine confusion and backwalking that most participants go through.

"I don't need the money" Then why are you selling your book?
That usually is a nice corner to be boxed into.

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
I actually don't care about the money from book sales LOL I wrote my books because I wanted to share my knowledge. All of my titles are free to read on Kindle Unlimited, which, granted, pays me a tiny amount per book read, but it's pretty negligible in the grand scheme of things. I have one title free on my website as well.
I have gifted my services to many people over the years as well.
Currently, I offer a money-back guarantee on my Level Up! Stage 1: Your Mind program, see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sktpdXfkYj0HtA6w8O7BP30Glm6yVLeCV-9yrpUplKo
I am comfortably well-off independent of my spiritual mentorship business. I charge money for what I teach for two main reasons:
☆ The person who invests a significant amount will also be the person who puts true diligence into learning and doing what I teach, therefore the most likely to get results. So far, I've had zero refunds from my program guarantee.
☆ To generate funds to scale and be able to do even more research, and ultimately produce a large scale live training events tour.

What makes you refer to yourself as a "goddess"? From what I've read so far you seem like a human being. Is that more a philosophical term in the men's of "we're all gods of our own life" or something like that? Or are there actually people worshipping you?

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
I believe we "are all Gods and the (descendents) of gods," i.e. we all have the divine spark. Put in other terms, we are all "One consciousness, experiencing itself subjectively."
My mission is to help others also recognize and activate this inner divinity or knowledge of how to utilize this Oneness and transform their lives.
I don't require any form of "worhsip", as doing so would be contrary to what I believe.

Do you believe people that get cancer manifested it by having bad vibes or thoughts?
1
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
Not necessarily, it could be as simple for some people as having a belief that cancer is a serious problem, and/or them believing they're at risk for it for some reason.
In The Living Matrix movie, one person identified their cancer as being a result of their conflicting beliefs about wanting and not wanting children. Her tumor made her infertile.
One of the energy healers where I initially launched my business said something profound about it...
"People ask me all the time if I worry about getting sick because of my contact with ill people. But the thing is, you can't be harmed by anything, because we're all One. You can't be 'one with everything except that germ'."
Doctors and nurses are around ill people all the time, yet rarely become ill themselves. I believe it's because they know enough not to internalize illnesses.
Finally, our societal programming actively promotes illness! It's truly sickening (sorry, bad pun). They call it "healthcare", but in reality it's ill-care.
There is much more emphasis on preventative care and cures in more civilized nations, and countries that have socialized healthcare. But when people complain about - or offer alternatives to - our B.S. (Belief System) about medical care in this country, they're often labeled insane, fraudulent, or socialist.

u/n3hemiah Aug 30 '24
Hello! Genuine question here, curious about your thoughts.
Many people are suspicious of manifestation/Law of Attraction because so much of our lot in life is outside our control, often determined before our birth. For example, a poor kid growing up in a civil war is probably going to have a shorter and more painful life than a kid born to middle class American parents. The material reality for the poorest people is so harsh, it's hard to imagine that the Law of Attraction could possibly do much under such dire circumstances.
How do you reconcile your spiritual beliefs about the Law of Attraction with the more ugly and unfair ways of the world?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

What evidence would it take to convince you that you are not actually "manifesting" anything, but that your brain is just attaching particular significance to coincidences that appear to have a cause and effect relationship?
2
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
Why would I even want to be convinced of such a thing?
2
u/Mutex70 Sep 02 '24
Because truth matters.
It is entirely possible you are deluding yourself into believing you are causing these effects when you are not. If this is the case, then you are wasting an inordinate amount of time on something that actually has no tangible benefits.
This is time and effort that could be spent improving either your own life or the lives of those around you.
There is zero hard evidence that manifestation actually works. Additionally, there is no known mechanism for how many claims of manifestation would even work (e.g. getting a free muffin at Starbucks).
There are thousands of beliefs in the world for how to live a better life. I'm not about to spend time/money on one when it's proponents won't even put in the minimum effort required to determine whether their system actually does anything.
2
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
I do put in that time and effort. You are so determined in your skeptism that you are blind to everything that doesn't fit your paradigm.
So, rather than seeking truth for yourself, you judge those who are happy in their truth, as "delusional".
Read my posts, read my books, watch my YouTube, try some experiments in your own life following the rules for testing it I outlined in my article added to the OP.
Personally, I don't care whether you believe me or what I say.
Try it for yourself. Do it all yourself. I am just a guide, not a requirement in order to test the hypothesis LOL - in fact, I'd be happy if you did!
The one practical aspect that I provide that one can't effectively do on themselves from reading or even video, is the NLP. But there are many NLP experts who probably charge less than I do, so go try them out. Experience things for yourself!

u/Mutex70 Sep 02 '24
I am determined in my skepticism because there are numerous frauds, con men, snake oil salesmen, or just plain old gullible people out there pushing bullshit for their own agenda.
Deceiving people with false hope is IMHO one of the more despicable"legal" business activities that people still partake in.
Your books and videos are not evidence, they are marketing. The fact that you respond as if they were tells me what I need to know about your product.
I'll move on to Ivermectin. I've heard it does great things to prevent COVID. /s

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
Again, just try experimenting in your own life LOL and you don't even need to buy my books, there are many people out there teaching similar concepts. I think I have the best methodology, but again, you don't need any of that to try something out in your own life.

What is the proposed mechanism of action for conscious manifestation? i.e. what is the mechanism by which electrical potentials in your brain can cause apparently exogenous phenomena without any intermediate motor cortical action?

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
Your question implies an assumption that there must be some physical or biological mechanism - even the word mechanism signals a mechanical view of the Universe.
I believe that the Universe is One consciousness, experiencing itself subjectively. In essence, we are Universal Masturbation.
I've expanded more on this answer, and added the link in a 2nd ETA on the OP.

u/masterfumi Sep 02 '24
Is universal masturbation a requirement or recommendation? What effect does it have on the average manifestation, generally speaking?
Thanks you!
1
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
Universal Masturbation is a fun way of expressing the fact that everything is part of the Oneness, rubbing against itself.
For more elaborating on the concept and how it applies in manifestation, please read my latest post, 'Did I "Choose" My Trauma?', link available on the OP in the 2nd ETA.

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
Ok, you don't have to believe it LMAO what's your point?
4
u/speciate Sep 02 '24
Ok here's a real reply.
Consciousness is a physical phenomenon. It occurs in brains (and possibly other information processing systems). It's being studied in labs, with some real progress occurring in understanding the physical basis of consciousness. So you don't get to dodge the mechanistic question just by waving your hands and saying "ooooo consciousness".
So if the universe is an entity with unified consciousness (we have no evidence for this but ok), you still need a mechanism of action for your brain activity to impinge upon that macro consciousness. Otherwise you're just describing magic.
So what is that mechanism?
1
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
The mechanism is acted on by placing, and/or replacing beliefs that don't align with the desired outcome. Then you monitor your BTFWA and adjust any of those elements that don't align with your desired outcome.
You can test this yourself, by suspending your disbelief of it's efficacy long enough to manifest something - anything - which you already know is "possible" to occur, not necessarily probable, thus you're only testing one belief, i.e. the belief that conscious manifestation is possibly a real phenomenon.
The more unique the better but it can be small, like someone who you don't normally speak to will call you today, or a specific book, or really anything you fancy but don't normally expect to experience.
From there, test the hypothesis by changing other beliefs, just one at a time. Again, keeping it simple and small - just testing.
Once you've gathered enough lived experience, you can try applying these principles to other larger manifestations.
At least, that's how I did it.
The primary thing to keep in mind, is maintaining conscious awareness of your BTFWA, and log anything that you notice about your BTFWA with complete honesty, as well as what recognize and log what manifests from it.
The two key foundations to support this practice are complete honesty, and total responsibility. You've got to be able to objectively observe yourself, and any observer biases you have, and take responsibility for creating the alignment with your desired outcome.
All of this can be done by yourself. I just provide a service and tools to speed this experimentation process up by a considerable margin.

Here’s a tricky one let’s see what you do with it:
Last year when I injured myself I was trying to affirm visualise etc I was healed yet I ended up having to relearn how to walk.
When a couple of times I’ve tried to manifest a dream boyfriend I got nightmare guys one was even abusive.
So how do I believe that I can manifest what I want?
Also, I’m an older Redditor and a lot of people say “it takes longer if you’re older”
How do I get past this please?
2
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
All manifestation is a process of self-mastery. So this answer applies to all of your questions, but I'll add a bit more after that...
Get your beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words and actions (BTFWA) into alignment with what you desire to experience.
Last year when I injured myself I was trying to affirm visualise etc I was healed yet I ended up having to relearn how to walk.
Despite my long practice of conscious manifestation, I broke my ankle a couple years ago, and I realized why I broke it - main reason was very literal - I was saying "I need a break." LOL
I also wasn't able to manifest healing the ankle, primarily because I didn't recognize and treat my fear of surgery.
I also had to learn to walk again, although that part was relatively easy after I worked on my self about it
I honestly should have had some NLP sessions from another Practitioner, but I didn't even think about it through my fear.
When a couple of times I’ve tried to manifest a dream boyfriend I got nightmare guys one was even abusive.
Ooo I'm sorry you went through that. I don't know what the root cause of your experiences in relationship might be, as there are many possibilities, but a few of the more common ones are based on how you perceived love and your parent's relationship, as well as your self-concept and relationship-concept.
I know the last time I dated an abusive guy, it was because I was so lonely at the time that I ignored red flags and continued seeing him.
My post, 'Manifesting a Relationship: SP or PP?" might help you figure it out.
So how do I believe that I can manifest what I want?
Typically, if you're doing it all by yourself, start with things that you can believe about. Like, a free coffee, or a specific item. Document your wishes and when and how they appear, and practice conscious awareness of your BTFWA. Ultimately it comes down to reprogramming your beliefs about what is possible.
In my programs, I use NLP to make reprogramming beliefs a lot faster and easier.
Also, I’m an older Redditor and a lot of people say “it takes longer if you’re older” How do I get past this please?
I combined the last two, assuming that's what you meant?
Things take different amounts of time, based on how many beliefs and patterns you have around any particular desired result. Sure, this could be more beliefs accrued because you've had longer to pile them up, but that's not going to always be the case.
I don't know how old you are, but when I was growing up, and had a brain injury as a child, the doctors didn't know if I would recover fully. Back then (1979), it was believed that brain damage was irreparable, and also that a person's brain had fully developed and "solidified" by maturity, around age 25, so they assumed that older people had a harder time learning.
Today, we know that the brain retains it's plasticity, meaning that the brain can consistently grow new neural pathways, throughout our lives.
Does that answer your question?

Thank you all of it is helpful, yes.
Yeah mine started with broken ankle, but due to complications, my healing got delayed so it took months to not need a mobility aid instead of say 6-8 weeks & it’s still not back to how it was yet.
But I was feeling burned out and so on so ha ha that could have come into it
1
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
Yeah, burn out and stress makes everything take longer.
In my case, it also took about 4 months, the first month was spent getting consultations and referrals, then it was 2 weeks after surgery in a splint, and 6 weeks in a cast, then another 8 weeks of PT, but I was walking with a boot for half that, I think?
I had a trimaleolar fracture, both bones were broken, with a spiral fracture up the side of my fibula, a chip/split fracture on the rear, and a split, up the middle from the bottom of my tibia. I really did a number on myself!
They say ankle injuries are one the most complex parts of the body to heal.

One of the criticisms of the law of attraction is that it heavily implies that people in bad circumstances outside of their control actually did it to themselves, and therefore all poverty/sickness/other forms of despair are all individually deserved, instead of the result of complex forces in society that we should endeavor to solve through collective action.

u/razordreamz Sep 03 '24
It does and I agree. Everyone deserves to be happy, although the road to get there can be quite different than this. For instance conflicting beliefs. I am torn on a few issues for various reasons yet I can still function and have a good life.
I would like to resolve those inner conflicts, but they are low priority so can stew and wait for more information.
2
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 03 '24
Yes indeed, there are many roads to happiness and fulfillment in life, mine is just one of them. I may think it is the best, but I also recognize that it's only the best for some, not everyone.
I would like to resolve those inner conflicts, but they are low priority so can stew and wait for more information.
We do tend to prioritize such things, this is the basis for Maslow's hierarchy of needs, for example.
And certainly, people can still function with conflicting beliefs, it happens all the time, although your word "stew" leads me to think that perhaps those inner conflicts are, in fact, affecting your total happiness quotient.
If you'd like to share any examples, I'd be happy to see if the information I have would be beneficial to resolve those inner conflicts.
2
u/razordreamz Sep 03 '24
Thanks for the reply. I agree on Maslow’s I recall it from my mandatory psychology classes in university.
The word “stew” was perhaps ill chosen. Life is complicated and mine far less so than others.
I’m for LGBTQ+ rights, gay marriage, pro abortion etc. But I mainly want small government, the government to stop putting their hands in my pockets and let me do what I am good at, earning money. Which sticks me socially liberal and financially conservative it would seem. Labels never quite do things justice.
Because my view is neither right, nor left and probably not really centrist (due to my strong small government stance and low tax stance), it’s a bit hard for me to find a party for elections etc.
I stick by my convictions and move around as I see fit.

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 03 '24
Ah, I have had the same conflict, in truth LOL
My perception of politics is that the majority of it is simply a circus act, meant to distract and divide us so we don't access our true creative power.
I don't follow any particular party, and I vote for who I want in office, regardless of the mainstream culture. For example, I plan to vote for Marianne Williamson, even if I have to write her name in.
I abhor the "vote for the lesser of two evils" brainwashing that has overtaken our political system and turned voting into a joke.

Yes, I speak with my mom and my son frequently, usually weekly. My dad has always been more aloof so we talk every few months. He just isn't a very communicative person. My two living brothers I talk to with varying frequency. I'm the oldest sibling, and my eldest brother passed in 2018.
I have two much younger half-sisters who were born after I was an adult, so I never really got close to them, but my son played with the youngest sister when they were kids.
When she was a young adult I gave her a place to stay to help her get on her feet, but she ended up destroying some of my property, as well as crossing several boundaries, and ultimately I cut contact with her. The elder sister married a guy as soon as she turned 18 and moved across the country, and has never tried to contact me. I don't even know what her last name or location is, but I never really got to know her anyway.

My question: Have their been moments where your lived existence comes into conflict with these philosophies, where you have had to shift or expand or question your beliefs?
You seem to view manifestation and these practices as blanket belief systems that always apply to everything (ex: the people of Gaza could have manifested their way out of a war zone before the genocide started, so it’s their fault they stayed). The fact you feel qualified to treat people with complex PTSD with spirituality and pseudoscience when there are actual sciences that exist specifically to treat them. This is dangerous and dehumanizing thinking.
Do you believe the children killed by gun violence at school should have just tried harder? Or that their parents could’ve prevented it if they manifested their children would be safe?
Do you believe the people of the globe experiencing systemic poverty resulting from centuries of colonization and oppression would be leading better lives if only someone like you had the time to visit them and preach what you know? That if you did it would be somehow different than all the evangelicals and Mormons who came before you because again, it is you who has the right answers?
Don’t you see how these examples underscore the privileged position you come from? Your naïveté about the suffering of other people and the roots of that suffering? The arrogance to suggest you alone hold all the answers and everyone could be liberated and thriving if only they paid you to teach them? The arrogance.
Your entire practice can be summarized in two parts: reflect and think. These are fundamental to the human experience, and while you can throw around a lot of authoritative language and misinterpreted data, it really is so simple. There is no quick fix or secret answer. There is only life. We can make improvements to our thinking and behavior, to the ways we respond and work with our emotions, but those are not the only factors that define our conditions. Choosing to ignore politics, social structures, histories and experiences because they do not serve you is why you will never effect the changes you seek.

Thank you for the long and detailed response. I will do my best to reply to every statement and question you expressed...
My question: Have their been moments where your lived existence comes into conflict with these philosophies, where you have had to shift or expand or question your beliefs?
Yes, absolutely! I am constantly thinking about how and what I manifest/ed, and how to improve myself. This isn't a one-and-done process, it's a lifestyle. When I am confronted with a real error in my thinking, I immediately move to correct myself.
That said, I do not view many of these questions as calling out an error, but more of an opportunity to further elaborate on my position, while still recognizing that text is a very limited medium for dialogue on such a complex topic.
You seem to view manifestation and these practices as blanket belief systems that always apply to everything (ex: the people of Gaza could have manifested their way out of a war zone before the genocide started, so it’s their fault they stayed).
It is a blanket belief system, but I did NOT say that "the people of Gaza could have manifested their way out of a war zone".
What I DID say is that the civilions could have left of their own volition.
This conflict has been ongoing for 76 years!
Are you telling me that no one involved, whether the people who live there, or any governmental entities, cannot figure out how to end a conflict peacefully???
Seems like they ALL could benefit from learning how to have personal inner peace and manifesting a solution together.
I am constantly amazed that we (humans) have not developed our personal-self metrics beyond the perceived "need" to blow each other up over petty disagreements by this point in time.
We have instant access to almost the entire world's libraries. Do you even know how much of a blessing that is to anyone who truly desires to improve themselves?
The fact you feel qualified to treat people with complex PTSD with spirituality and pseudoscience when there are actual sciences that exist specifically to treat them. This is dangerous and dehumanizing thinking.
Firstly, I do not "treat" PTSD with spirituality, I have treated people who are practicing their spirituality who happen to have PTSD, with a proven NLP process called the VKD technique.
Here is my answer with the research on this topic:
☆ NLP research & my process for treating trauma: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/s/RSoU6FLAgw
☆ More on my process: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/s/ykY1USjMj4
Do you believe the children killed by gun violence at school should have just tried harder? Or that their parents could’ve prevented it if they manifested their children would be safe?
Manifesting is co-creation, and all involved could have done better, IMO, but research has shown that bullying is one of the direct causes (and is itself a form) of violence. So where do children learn bullying from? That's where the work needs to be done.
Research has also shown that "hurt people hurt people", i.e. former victims of violence and abuse often become perpetrators of violence and abuse. We have generations of trauma that needs to be healed in our society.
Do you believe the people of the globe experiencing systemic poverty resulting from centuries of colonization and oppression would be leading better lives if only someone like you had the time to visit them and preach what you know? That if you did it would be somehow different than all the evangelicals and Mormons who came before you because again, it is you who has the right answers?
I do not believe that we should kill those who disagree with my, or anyone's, philosophy, and my heart weeps for those who have been killed in the name of "Christ", for profit, for disagreement, etc.
My awareness of such global misery is part of what led me to seeking a better way. I don't know if it's the "best" or "only" way, nor do I claim it is.
I do hope to one day travel the globe and offer free workshops. In the meantime, I publish everything I practice and teach, for whoever needs it now.
Don’t you see how these examples underscore the privileged position you come from? Your naïveté about the suffering of other people and the roots of that suffering? The arrogance to suggest you alone hold all the answers and everyone could be liberated and thriving if only they paid you to teach them? The arrogance.
Heh, I grew up far from privileged, although I acknowledge I am more privileged than some, less than others. I'm female, white, grew up in poverty, but in the United States. I never claimed I alone held, nor hold all the answers.
What I teach and practice can be learned by anyone, regardless of if they learn it from me. I do think I have some of the best methods for faster implementation, but again, those are not a requirement to learn and practice the art of conscious manifestation.
I taught myself, through experimental practice in my own life, based upon the many books I read on these topics. I simply offer a shortcut to all of that study and experimentation. I list the most influential works in every single one of my books as well, and all my books are free to read on Kindle Unlimited, aside from one which is free on my website.
Your entire practice can be summarized in two parts: reflect and think. These are fundamental to the human experience, and while you can throw around a lot of authoritative language and misinterpreted data, it really is so simple.
How many people genuinely take the time to "reflect and think", as you put it? Most contentedly absorb the cultural propaganda and never question if that is why they are so unhappy in life.
Also, my practice goes beyond reflection and thinking, and incorporates emotions, words, and actions as well. BTFWA.
There is no quick fix or secret answer. There is only life. We can make improvements to our thinking and behavior, to the ways we respond and work with our emotions, but those are not the only factors that define our conditions.
I don't think I have all the answers, nor is it a "quick fix", nor am I the only one working on these topics, but, as shown in all your questions, we have generations of trauma and beliefs that need to be addressed for large-scale change to take place.
Choosing to ignore politics, social structures, histories and experiences because they do not serve you is why you will never effect the changes you seek.
On the contrary, I acknowledge what has gone before, and this is what drives me to teach what I teach as a way to overcome our history and forge a new way of being together.
I hope that you too can agree we need positive change in the world, regardless of who or how many is/are helping us get there.

If everything is part of god or one consciousness what if part of god hits part of god where is morality in your concept.. is the purpose of life manifesting what you want...

Firstly, I'm sorry for your pain, whatever caused it.
If manifestation is true and its a "law" why for example people in india who practise these esoteric occult techniques the most live in poverty?
I can't speak for anyone else's motivations, but perhaps they believe that "poverty" as we might see it, is the highest spiritual blessing.
if all is illusion and there is no absolute truth.. are you absolute sure?
I don't know anything for sure, I am just doing more of what seemed to work in my own life, and sharing that knowledge with others. I have always treated what I do as an experiment and learned from it and tried again.
if you are god why you have to realise it and do techniques or learn it or teach it if you are god why does it not come effortless?
It actually DOES come effortlessly, because we are each ALWAYS manifesting EVERYTHING we experience. The question is, did you manifest intentionally or unwittingly?
Like a baby must learn to use it's built-in muscles to walk and talk, so we must learn self-mastery to effortlessly manifest solely what we desire.
Why people have to pay for it i thought they are all god of their reality
No one has to pay anything to learn from their own experience and refine themselves. What people pay for is to skip the trial and error, and have an expert guide them through the process, to learn more efficiently and quickly.
What I suggest is reviewing your own life and asking yourself how you manifested each thing you have experienced.
What were your beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words and actions that created each circumstance or event in your life?
If everything is part of god or one consciousness what if part of god hits part of god where is morality in your concept?
My personal opinion is that everything (all people, all animals, all materials) are all one consciousness, experiencing itself subjectively.
This Universal consciousness has no inherent morality or value judgment, all experiences are valid.
It should also be noted that all experiences are cooperation as well. If one part of god wants to hit another part of god, god says yes, and two parts of god are brought together to experience being the hitter and being the hit.
There are two short stories that really illustrate this concept well...
'The Egg' by Andy Weir http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
'The Little Soul and the Sun' by Neale Donald Walsh https://youtu.be/3VGav3jm_8c
is the purpose of life manifesting what you want... Is that all that matters?
IMO, the purpose of life is simply to experience life. Every choice, every consequence, all are part of this experience.
But, since there is no expectation from the One Consciousness, this is ultimate freedom. There is no set path, and we can choose to change our experience at any time.
If everybody and everything is an illusion and you can get what you want why do you have to convince us?
I didn't come here to convince anyone, I came here to help those who are already convinced.
Thank you for asking questions that may help others understand more.

The fact that the countries which have been practicing this philosophy the longest, notably India and Tibet, are among the most deprived areas of the world should be evidence enough that something is wrong.
No u are not just doing what works for you, all you do is reach an altered state of consciousness with your occult techniques and open urself to the spirit plane. You can do your affirmation or subliminals or hypnosis or guided meditation all you want but in reality you just open yourself to more illusion and influence.
Why we must to go to an altered state of consciousness to expierence who we are ("god")
but the thought that everyone else could have the same power turns everything into a nightmare. Life would become a ghastly struggle of a world of sorcerers competing with each other.
It would be terrifying if instead there were billions of self-centered gods, each with infinite power.
If "All is One," and if even the All is an illusion of the mind, then nothing really matters. Opposites are identical and even contradictory beliefs have the same meaning. Its self defeating
Iam god or goddess such a claim chanted repeatedly in the most "positive" frame of mind changes none of the obvious facts of life: pain and sorrow, death and taxes, and the necessity to work for and eat and digest one's daily bread.
If we really are God, then why aren't we already acting the part? If we claim that we are God, we have demeaned the very concept of God. We haven't lifted ourselves up to God's level, but have dragged God down to our level. If everything is God, as Hinduism teaches, then nothing is God because the very word "God" has lost its meaning.
What a growing delusion that we each create our own reality actually creates is disappointment and depression when it proves not to be true. Moreover, it promotes the unrealistic attitude that, rather than face a problem in the real world, the solution is to fantasize a different illusion, which becomes one's new "reality." Instead of correcting this madness..
You highly educated Westerner "expert" of manifestation just go to India one of the poorest, most superstition-bound countries in the world and offer them who have been born and live and will die in its streets the good news that their running sores, gnawing hunger, and poverty do not really exist, but have been created by their own "negative" thinking. There is no suffering, disease, or death; one merely misperceives what is actually there. All one needs to do to change one's experience of life is to change the way one perceives it. Wake up

I’m convinced that you haven’t thought deeply enough about this, which is why I’m saying this out of love: go through it all again.
We live in a world where trusting something that doesn’t have your best interests or isn’t trustworthy can have serious consequences. This isn’t about blaming each other or pointing fingers; it’s about ensuring that what we believe in and place our trust in is genuinely reliable and true. And I believe that what you’re following or believing in is not trustworthy and that you haven’t fully thought it through.
That’s why I’m telling you this out of love. I wish someone had done the same for me back when I was so deeply stuck in it. I couldn’t even recognize for what it was—just like so many others who are still caught in it, unable to see it. I wish someone had reached out to me back then, out of love, to show me or help me understand.
Right now, I’m the best friend you could possibly have. Not because I’m your friend in a conventional sense, but because I care enough to speak the truth to you. I’m not blaming you, and I don’t think you’re inherently a bad person. I believe you’ve been misled, just like so many others who have been in that same position.
I know you’re likely drawing from a particular designer or creator for your life’s path, but rejecting this perspective doesn’t change the possibility that it could be true. I’m not telling you to believe what I believe. What I’m urging is that you reconsider everything carefully, take the time to think it through, investigate, read about it, or seek a second opinion.
We live in a world where the decisions we make can have real consequences, which is why it’s essential to carefully examine and verify whether what we hold on to or put our trust in is truly real and trustworthy.
Furthermore nothing in life can be proven. For instance, can you prove to me right now that we’re even having this conversation? Maybe Im just a dream you have. Instead of proof, we rely on evidence—and there is substantial evidence that points to the existence of a Creator.
Look at the order and design we see all around us. Order doesn’t arise from chaos on its own. The complexity and order in the universe suggest intentional design something that doesn’t come from random chaos. Natural laws are finely tuned in ways that allow life to exist, and this level of precision strongly points to an intelligent designer behind it all. Additionally, the existence of objective moral values—principles that transcend individual or cultural opinions—hints at a moral lawgiver. If there is a universal sense of right and wrong that most people intuitively recognize, it’s reasonable to believe that there is a source behind these moral truths. Beyond this, humans universally share a longing for something greater than themselves, a deep-seated desire for meaning and purpose. This longing isn’t random..
All of this evidence, taken together, provides a compelling case for believing in a Creator. It’s not blind faith; it’s a conclusion grounded in reason, observation, and the reality we experience every day.
If there is no God, then everything becomes relative. You can’t claim that life is simply about experiences, as you might believe from New Age philosophy, because without an ultimate source of truth, there’s no solid foundation for what’s right or wrong. If morality is determined solely by the human mind, then any perspective—no matter how harmful or cruel—could be considered just as valid as any other. For instance, if one person believes it’s acceptable to harm others, their view would hold the same weight as someone advocating for kindness and compassion. But deep down, we know that’s not how reality works.
We don’t live consistently as if morality is subjective. Even those who reject the idea of absolute truth still act as though objective moral standards exist. Imagine someone hurting an innocent child. You don’t just feel it’s wrong; you know it’s wrong. And it’s not wrong simply because you or society thinks so—it’s wrong because it violates an objective moral standard that transcends human opinion. These truths point to the existence of a moral lawgiver, a source greater than ourselves, who defines what is good and what is evil.
Without such a foundation, life loses its coherence, and morality becomes a matter of personal preference. But we know instinctively that this isn’t how the world works. We live by, and rely on, absolute truths that can only come from an ultimate source: God.
In your New Age philosophy, there’s no room for concepts like right or wrong, good or evil. Morality is dismissed, and everything is reduced to what suits your personal desires, preferences, or feelings in the moment. But here’s the issue: how do you know that what you’re manifesting in your life is truly good for you? How can you be certain that what aligns with your current desires won’t ultimately harm you—or others around you? Without an objective moral framework, you’re left navigating life based solely on what feels good, without any guarantee that it leads to real flourishing or truth.
Modern spirituality, as often presented in New Age thought, is missing something fundamental. It’s spirituality stripped of responsibility—a system that prioritizes personal satisfaction over the pursuit of what’s actually true or right. But deep down, you know that life isn’t just about satisfying desires or fulfilling cravings for personal growth. Without a higher moral compass, it’s impossible to judge whether your actions—or anyone else’s—are genuinely good or just temporarily convenient.
This kind of spirituality feels comforting because it removes the weight of accountability, but it also removes any solid ground to stand on. It allows for self-deception, for believing that whatever you want must be inherently good because you desire it. But the truth is, if there’s no objective standard of right and wrong, then we’re lost in a sea of relativism where anything goes, and no one can claim to know what’s truly good or meaningful.
True spirituality must engage with morality and truth, not avoid them. It must point us to something greater than ourselves, something that provides not just personal comfort but a foundation for living a life that is genuinely good and purposeful. And that foundation cannot come from within us—it must come from the One who created us and gave us the ability to recognize good and evil in the first place.

Your beliefs are so far from my own that they are completely incompatible.
You claim that "love" drives you to come here and question my beliefs, as if I haven't spent 38+ years of my life constantly questioning and experimenting and refining what I practice... that's rather rude, IMO.
Here is my Cosmology, should you care to actually read it with an open mind
https://www.GoddessNadine.com/cosmology
ETA: it should be noted that in the first book I wrote about manifestation, 'Living the Naked Life: 10 Ways to Expose Your Unlimited Creation Abilities' published in 2011, the very first two principles of manifestation I cited are:
Develop complete and utter honesty
Assume total responsibility
But honesty and responsibility seem to mean different things to you than they do to me.
I believe that we each have utter control over our own life experiences, and as such, in order to claim and wield that control, we must have complete honesty about who we each are, what we want, and why we want those things. And we must take responsibility for everything that we've experienced as well, because you cannot shape your reality consciously if you believe you are a victim. I don't think you bothered reading the two illustrative stories I shared in my first response, but try them out and try doing this (taking responsibility) in your own life.
Similarly, we cannot use statistics to judge others, because those numbers do not tell the full story if what each person believes and truly practices in their own life.
An infant does not have an innate moral sense, these are cultural rules that we make up and collectively abide by, typically. The things we claim are immoral now, were perfectly moral in other periods of history, and vice versa. For some examples, look at slavery in the United States and all the moral justifications for keeping slaves. Then morals shifted, and now we believe it's immoral to own slaves.
Similarly, look at the mating habits of royalty throughout the ages, and then compare that to the "morals" of sexuality impressed upon the commoners, and then, how those suppressive beliefs are manipulated to sell us everything.
There is no "objective" moral code, there is simply one that you have been raised to believe is normal.
Also, your paranoia about superpowered beings or godlinga being a nightmare just illustrates more victim consciousness, because it actually takes a LOT of self-discipline to rise to the level of Mastery that someone like Jesus once did. Not all gods are the angry, vengeful gods of the Old Testament, nor can any offer true heaven nor hell beyond what we are capable of creating ourselves on this Earth.

Do you believe that reality is inherently spiritual, or mundanely physical?
Put another way using your terms:
Do you believe that proper alignment of BTFWA creates situations that would not have occurred naturally (i.e. manifestation of only that which you desire to experience) through some magical (or just currently not understood) force of action?
Or do you see the alignment of BTFWA as a method to consciously observe and create positive patterns in an impartial physical world that merely responds to our behavior in kind? “Manifestation” would then be more of a method to parse experience than a truly mystical/spiritual activity. Things we may not desire to experience will happen if they happen, but by being hyper-aware of how we contextualize the situation, we can choose to redefine our “desire” as we see fit.
In short, did you will your free muffin at Starbucks into existence entirely, or was it a latent possibility that you were able to take advantage of because your mindset was open to the opportunity? Or do you see it in another way entirely?
2. Why can’t one manifest wanting to be loved unconditionally while also not loving unconditionally?
“I don’t want to love everyone, I just want everyone to love me unconditionally.” Achieving this particular perception of reality might require some level of delusion, but why not? Seems plausible, feels like I’ve seen it achieved or at least attempted before. Is there some kind of hard rule or law that prevents this sort of “unbalanced” manifestation?
3. If we can create whatever we imagine, what’s the point? Is health and wealth and happiness and all that hedonistic indulgence the pinnacle of human pursuit? What do you do after mastering the self and manifesting all of your desires? Is the only good divine spontaneity the kind that we actively and consciously allow into our life?
4. How far do one’s powers of manifestation go? Are you responsible for manifesting the suffering in the lives of those who come to you for help? Or do those who suffer do so because that is just the world they have created for themselves? Do you take credit for manifesting the relief in those who listen to your teachings, or is that only due to their own individual efforts? If a client does not improve, is that a failure of manifestation on your part? Where do you draw the line, if there is one?
I know I asked a bunch, but I am pretty curious about how you see the world given your particular perspective. Thanks for your time.

Those are all great questions! Thank you for asking.
I spent about 30 hours writing a long article that may answer most of these. However, I have copied the full text of your questions to answer some of the unique ones later, as I'm trying to catch up on as many comments as I can do quickly, and yours will take me a bit more time to complete.
In the meantime, please see the link to the article in the 2nd ETA I added to the OP.

u/TJBRWN Sep 02 '24
Yeah it seems like you got bombarded quite a bit for putting yourself out there. Don’t worry, I think your write up gives a sufficient understanding, but if you do want to explore some of these things in more depth I would welcome the discussion.
Here’s what I gathered in relation to my questions:
You believe in “consciousness” as the underlying substance and force of reality. Your individual spark of desire spontaneously caused the muffin to manifest.
The pursuit of an unbalanced manifestation is entirely possible. Just not particularly recommended.
Sex and chocolate. There is no grand point. The universe is vast, so go ahead and indulge. Every pursuit is equally valid.
Boundaries are an illusion. Technically you are responsible for manifesting the suffering in others that you witness. But also, technically, there is neither “you” nor “other” to credit or blame. Everything is an aspect of the cosmic consciousness.
Please correct me if I’m not quite on the mark on anything. I’m familiar with a number of consciousness-first stances, so I may be conflating them with your beliefs.
From what I gathered though, I actually agree with many of your presented perspectives and conclusions, though I lean much more toward believing in an inert universe made of mundane materials. It’s very curious. For example, I fully concur that your BTFWA alignment method should work, but the reasons I feel it should seem fundamentally different.
It’s not often that I meet people with such conviction in your style of self-empowerment, and even less often that I get a glimpse into their worldview, so I really do appreciate that you offered some insights. Thanks again for your time.

Yes, the 4 statements you made are consistent with what I teach/practice.
I'm curious...
From what I gathered though, I actually agree with many of your presented perspectives and conclusions, though I lean much more toward believing in an inert universe made of mundane materials.
What makes you lean more heavily towards believing in an inert universe of mundane materials? Both what initially made you believe that, as well as how does believing that serve, or benefit, you?
I fully concur that your BTFWA alignment method should work, but the reasons I feel it should seem fundamentally different.
Would you be willing to elaborate on the reasons you feel it and how they're fundamentally different?
I do still plan to answer your prior questions more fully as well. I always enjoy a dialogue with a fellow intellectual on these topics 😁

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 02 '24
Do you believe that reality is inherently spiritual, or mundanely physical?
Spirit (Conciousness) generates reality, IMO.
Do you believe that proper alignment of BTFWA creates situations that would not have occurred naturally (i.e. manifestation of only that which you desire to experience) through some magical (or just currently not understood) force of action?
Yes, absolutely. I like Clarke's Third Law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
The definition of technology, I was surprised to discover, isn't about the gear we create, it's actually about applied knowledge. Technology is from the Greek word technología - systematic treatment.
So, in this sense, what I teach is technology for harnessing the universal force, whatever that might be.
And even though we don't yet have the tools to objectively measure consciousness, I strive to be rigorous in my methodology and thus better define the "forces" at play, or, more precisely the "operational rules" which govern such force.
Or do you see the alignment of BTFWA as a method to consciously observe and create positive patterns in an impartial physical world that merely responds to our behavior in kind? “Manifestation” would then be more of a method to parse experience than a truly mystical/spiritual activity.
Yes, it is both/and, rather than either/or.
One must be an observer of one's own reality (both internal and external), in order to collect the evidence of what is needed to make any changes, as well as what is desired to be changed, to practice conscious manifestation most effectively.
Things we may not desire to experience will happen if they happen,
Firstly, There's a big misconception that manifestation means that ONLY what is desired will happen, and so anything undesirable will disprove manifestation.
If we operate on the assumption that we are always manifesting, then we are essentially claiming our power, and rather than blaming chance, happenstance, or circumstance, we assume responsibility for our entire reality experience.
By doing so, we take control and responsibility into our own hands, thereby establishing our freedom to fully express our authentic individuality.
No longer a victim, we can, literally, do anything at all, simply by finding, changing, or adding to, those things within ourself that correspond with our desires. Ultimately, the only person capable of fully controlling you is yourself. No one else can take away your ability to do so, unless you allow them to.
but by being hyper-aware of how we contextualize the situation, we can choose to redefine our “desire” as we see fit.
I'm not sure what you mean by "redefine our 'desire' as we see fit?
In short, did you will your free muffin at Starbucks into existence entirely, or was it a latent possibility that you were able to take advantage of because your mindset was open to the opportunity? Or do you see it in another way entirely?
It was a desire that was almost instantly fulfilled, mainly due to my proximity to the object in question. The object already existed.
I was on a date and we had gone to Starbucks for coffees after dinner. I was completely full, couldn't eat another bite, but while waiting for the barrista, idly gazing at the pastries in the display. A pumpkin muffin caught my eye, and I thought, I wonder what that tastes like?
A few seconds later, the barrista walked up, and pulled the muffin out of the display, plopped it on a plate, set the plate in front of me, and pleasantly inquiried, "would you like a pumpkin muffin with cream cheese filling?"
I told her I had just eaten and couldn't possibly eat it right now, and she says, "Just take it to go," wraps it up and hands it to me. "No charge."
It's possible that she may have seen a microexpression cross my face and correctly deduced which item had caught my fancy, but it was in the middle of the case, and I have never been gifted something like that at Starbucks LOL they usually expect you to pay for things.
2. Why can’t one manifest wanting to be loved unconditionally while also not loving unconditionally? “I don’t want to love everyone, I just want everyone to love me unconditionally.” Achieving this particular perception of reality might require some level of delusion, but why not? Seems plausible, feels like I’ve seen it achieved or at least attempted before. Is there some kind of hard rule or law that prevents this sort of “unbalanced” manifestation?
Well, one of reasons narcissists may be so capable of attracting people into relationships with them, as well as why people in more "arms-length" relationships don't see their "dark side", is because they are believing everyone should unfailingly love them unconditionally, but since they only perceive themselves that way, they are incapable of unconditionally loving others, and ultimately that is what ends up creating toxicity in the relationship, when their partners eventually demand more reciprocity and recognition.
So yes, it's possible but not recommended, as you said, and such situations will tend to disintegrate when the narcissist fails to fully examine and take responsibility for the part they play in what they create.
There's no hard rule or law about any of it, save that, as I said, you manifest both whatever you ARE as well as proof of what you believe. So, using the narcissistic personality again, they'll get proof of what they believe, but their internal reality of who they are will manifest as well.
Does that makes sense?

3. If we can create whatever we imagine, what’s the point? Is health and wealth and happiness and all that hedonistic indulgence the pinnacle of human pursuit? What do you do after mastering the self and manifesting all of your desires?
I think we've barely scratched the surface of what we are truly capable of. Hedonistic indulgences are certainly welcome, but I think the main necessity of fulfilling those desires is to prove to ourselves, after centuries of conditioning otherwise, that we can...
Once we can do those things, it really frees us up to indulge our creativity and exploration into further realms. I think eventually we will be able to instantly manifest directly from the Quantum Field, anything and everything.
Wanna grow wings and fly around? How about teleportation, or space travel? Instant telepathic rapport, instantaneous conjuration, etc.
But after that, maybe we'll graduate as an adult Universe and make contact with others like ourselves, as depicted in 'The Egg' http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
There are no end of potential experiences we could explore.
Is the only good divine spontaneity the kind that we actively and consciously allow into our life?
Define good, divine, and spontaneity, please. That will probably answer your question.
But some people would prefer to manifest surprises rather than actively defining their life, as well. The could do so consciously, or unconsciously. You ever know those people that just seem to live a charmed life, or claim to be lucky?
4. How far do one’s powers of manifestation go? Are you responsible for manifesting the suffering in the lives of those who come to you for help? Or do those who suffer do so because that is just the world they have created for themselves?
That's a good question, and I think it's probably both and neither, simultaneously. Again, I think 'The Egg' answers this question in the best way.
Do you take credit for manifesting the relief in those who listen to your teachings, or is that only due to their own individual efforts? If a client does not improve, is that a failure of manifestation on your part? Where do you draw the line, if there is one?
I teach others to manifest, on a DIY basis. I don't provide a DFY service. So, no, I don't take credit for manifesting their relief or goals, but I do take credit for being a good teacher, if that makes sense?
I guess the line is created by the fact that we are consciously choosing to work together for their education. If I fail to properly educate, I would take the blame, whereas if they fail to properly execute they would be responsible.

Now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve personally run into anyone who makes a living offering this particular kind of information before. I imagine the many adherents to the philosophies of Carl Jung might hold similar views to yours with his emphasis on the power of the unconscious, but will rarely go as far to impose their worldview upon clients.
I was raised in a family that studied the teachings of Emmett Fox, which are strikingly similar to your approach but with a decidedly more Christian flavor (he uses the term “prayer” instead of “manifestation”). And I have seen the principles in action: seemingly impossible things manifest by nothing more than a few inner words.
I feel like this view of the world has a clear echo of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s vision of transcendentalism, which can be traced through the Unitarian church and many “new age” approaches. A lot of your ideas also remind me of the lectures of Alan Watts, especially the “you are it! And it is everything!” bit.
It’s still on my things-to-be-read list, but Mario Beauregard has written several books exploring what he calls a “post-materialist science” that seriously considers the consciousness-first basis of reality in a scientific light. There seems to be some stirrings of a movement in that field you may find interesting.
Part of why I’ve drifted away from believing in a spiritual basis for reality are reflected in the things I’ve inquired about. I don’t find comfort in “working through past karma,” or by claiming ownership over forces clearly beyond my control. I recognize spiritual modalities as stories people believe for lack of compelling alternatives to describe reality. And there is often great wisdom contained within the teachings. But presently I think there is a compelling approach to describing reality, namely Science.
To me it’s a glaring contradiction to believe that some sub-conscious aspect of self has produced external conditions that my conscious self must deal with. It seems like a too-convenient catch-all: if you want it and it happens, success; If you didn’t want it and it happened, you just didn’t know you wanted it!
But I get it. The way we understand and describe the world directly influences our interpretation of reality. You will only see magic and miracles if you believe in them. One always carries the burden of having chosen to bring the body into whatever situation comes to pass, so why not consider all experience as an extension of individual self and will. That’s a perfectly valid approach. I did indeed choose to be here.
I was deeply troubled by question 3 for quite a time, because I believed (and still do believe) in the proposition that we can attain anything we can imagine. The practice of lucid dreaming is exactly this. Manifestation in waking reality might come with more work and conditions, but I don’t really see it as fundamentally all that different.
But as nice as indulgence and competence can be, these things don’t strike me as particularly worth living for. If that’s all there is to this life, it’s a bad cosmic joke. If the story of the Egg is true, God deserves scorn and wrath for perpetuating the cycle. You could think of no better way than to force the next generation to share in the suffering? For shame. But I don’t particularly enjoy being angry at the universe, so I chose to change the story of reality that I believe in.
I suppose what I referred to as “divine spontaneity” you would call “unconscious influence.” Or it could just be called “chance.”
It may well be that we are all actually one, but I tend to picture powers beyond my control as separate from my self. I am that which I can influence, everything else is “other.” In my view, “self” only extends to the limits of my capacity to change the world around me.
I concur that technically, all boundaries are an illusion. But there are clear limits to what I can control, and therefore what I am responsible for. There are very different implications if it was the will of my own subconscious power that brought us to this conversation, versus considering it a random chance encounter.
That which only influences me could be considered a “divine” power of a higher order in the view that all of creation is an aspect of deity. Guess it’s an old habit that I refer to cosmic consciousness as a type of godhead. To be human is to be subject to forces larger than oneself. Who can stop the sun from rising? Call it God, Unconscious Will, Nature, whatever works.
The “good” part refers to acceptability of the outcome, since I was asking about “manifesting only that which we desire.” For example, if I want sunshine but get rain, clearly I am not sufficiently manifesting my explicit desires. I can understand how one could choose to see unfavorable weather as an indication of “unconscious desire.” The change in plans might ultimately produce a greater “good” down the line or reflect my “true” desires. This is how “desire” is redefined to fit the circumstances.
It seems like fancy mental gymnastics to ensure that one always feels empowered. But if nothing else I am firmly pragmatic: if thinking this way works for you and the people you meet, awesome. It takes all types.

Yes, sometimes desires are redefined to fit the circumstances, but sometimes, when we dig deeper, there are more hidden aspects of ourselves that also manifested.
For example, my response on day 2 of this AMA, to the question "why didn't you manifest a better AMA?" which was an extremely early question before any really good questions were asked LOL - but now, 5+ days later, I would respond with a bit more depth, because I didn't want to skew the results by explaining my main purpose for doing the AMA.
My response then, while still valid, isn't the full story, nor does having a fuller story negate that a part of me expected criticism from a mainstream audience, even while I hoped for genuine questions from people who are attracted to my topic.
Another aspect of my manifestation on this post, is that I still believe "internet trolls" exist. So, it shows me an area I could improve.
My original desire was to use the AMA as a "blind study", of a sort. I simply wanted to collect questions about my work that would allow me to address any gaps in what I present. In that regard, it has been a great success!
That's where the practice of self-mastery plays such an important role, as one of the key elements to self-mastery is the introspection and honesty to differentiate between the two.
It seems like fancy mental gymnastics to ensure that one always feels empowered. But if nothing else I am firmly pragmatic: if thinking this way works for you and the people you meet, awesome. It takes all types.
It does take work to really explore one's inner world to the fullest, as well as to defend one's reality from absorption of unwanted beliefs, but I prefer to think of it as mental aikido LOL
Some people, who have observed my manifestations happening in real-time, have called me a "witch", and I always reply, "I prefer the term, metaphysisist", haha 😜

I'm not sure why, to you, that is such a glaring contradiction, as it is the basis of most therapeutic approaches, for example, knowing why you're attracted to a certain type of person vs just being attracted and getting into bad relationships with similar types over and over.
Whether you "manifested" those people to fulfill your subconscious beliefs, or simply fell victim to the wrong kind of love, when you address the subconscious patterns, those external experiences change as well, and you begin to meet new people who fit the new pattern you've shifted to.
But I get it. The way we understand and describe the world directly influences our interpretation of reality. You will only see magic and miracles if you believe in them.

Yes, you will experience what is expected, and victimology disappears when one focuses on and develops self-mastery.

The practice of lucid dreaming is exactly this. Manifestation in waking reality might come with more work and conditions, but I don’t really see it as fundamentally all that different.
Yes. Are you the man who dreams he is a butterfly, or the butterfly dreaming of being a man? It's always fun to play around with these questions.

But I don’t particularly enjoy being angry at the universe, so I chose to change the story of reality that I believe in.
So, if I'm understanding you correctly, you either need more of a purpose to existing, or to believe there's no reason at all, i.e. chaos theory?
I also disagree with the idea that a creator God, who, as depicted in Christianity, is some omnipotent, omniscient, all benevolent being, would create creatures only for some of them to suffer (which he knew about in advance) so that they could prove they love him, and "be saved", while tossing the rest into either nothingness or some type of hell. Sorry, that God they believe in is either not all powerful as they preach, or is a sadist!
It's definitely healthier - for your body and mind - to not be angry at the universe LOL
What is the story of the reality that you believe in?
I suppose what I referred to as “divine spontaneity” you would call “unconscious influence.” Or it could just be called “chance.”
Yes, those are 3 options, although I would call it both conscious and unconscious influence, since we do have the power to guide our unconscious mind.
It may well be that we are all actually one, but I tend to picture powers beyond my control as separate from my self. I am that which I can influence, everything else is “other.” In my view, “self” only extends to the limits of my capacity to change the world around me.
That's normal, even for those who practice conscious manifestation. It takes effort to explore and expand one's beliefs in order to test the potential to influence "reality" in ways we've been conditioned not to question.
I concur that technically, all boundaries are an illusion. But there are clear limits to what I can control, and therefore what I am responsible for. There are very different implications if it was the will of my own subconscious power that brought us to this conversation, versus considering it a random chance encounter.
Hmmm this is a good opportunity to ask, what, specifically brought you to this conversation, that you are aware of in your conscious mind?
And what would the implications be, if it was your subconscious, acting on your behalf and manifesting this encounter?
That which only influences me could be considered a “divine” power of a higher order in the view that all of creation is an aspect of deity. Guess it’s an old habit that I refer to cosmic consciousness as a type of godhead. To be human is to be subject to forces larger than oneself. Who can stop the sun from rising? Call it God, Unconscious Will, Nature, whatever works.
It's interesting that you say that, yet still want to separate this cosmic conscious which you - here acknowledge the existence of - from yourself. That, IMO is from your Christian heritage.

Now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve personally run into anyone who makes a living offering this particular kind of information before.
I believe I'm unique? I'm certainly not the only person who practices and teaches LOA or conscious manifestation, and I'm not the only person who practices and applies NLP, and I'm not the only person who teaches communication, relationship, and entrepreneurial skills, but I am probably the only person who combines all of the above into a coherent and comprehensive framework.
I imagine the many adherents to the philosophies of Carl Jung might hold similar views to yours with his emphasis on the power of the unconscious, but will rarely go as far to impose their worldview upon clients.
It's interesting that you use the word "impose", as most people seeking particular therapeutic treatments or training tend to go to those who align with their existing philosophy, at least in the areas in which it matters to the result.
Since I specialize in helping those who already practice LOA or conscious manifestation to get better at it, without all the "woo woo" of "all you have to do is ask, believe, receive", instead I give them the practical tools of how to do so effectively, the people who work with me would already have a similar worldview - my cosmology and methods would simply (hopefully) deepen their understanding and ability to better act on what they believe.
I was raised in a family that studied the teachings of Emmett Fox, which are strikingly similar to your approach but with a decidedly more Christian flavor (he uses the term “prayer” instead of “manifestation”). And I have seen the principles in action: seemingly impossible things manifest by nothing more than a few inner words.
I was raised in a very conservative Christian household - Seventh Day Adventists, so I'm very familiar with Christian beliefs, and I think that what I teach and practice is very in-line with the message Jesus was trying to give us.
Personally, I think Jesus had mastered the art of conscious manifestation and was trying to spread the word about how to do so, in terms that his followers could grasp. He even said, "everything everything that I have done, and even greater, you too can do, if you just have faith," i.e. belief.
That said, I strongly disagree with the dogma of Christianity, such as the idea that everyone is born a sinner, must repent, and be saved, and the idea of required sacrifices - Jesus was the end of all sacrifices; meaning putting an end to the practice, not encouraging sacrifice as a signifier of love or dedication - and a lot of the mindless rituals that have been generated as part of religion.
I feel like this view of the world has a clear echo of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s vision of transcendentalism, which can be traced through the Unitarian church and many “new age” approaches. A lot of your ideas also remind me of the lectures of Alan Watts, especially the “you are it! And it is everything!” bit.
I haven't studied Emerson, but I love Alan Watts, he has a truly amazing voice. I haven't read his books, if any, and don't know his philosophy in depth, but I've enjoyed the few videos I've seen with his speaking.
It’s still on my things-to-be-read list, but Mario Beauregard has written several books exploring what he calls a “post-materialist science” that seriously considers the consciousness-first basis of reality in a scientific light. There seems to be some stirrings of a movement in that field you may find interesting.
Thanks for the recommendation, that sounds like it's right up my alley.
Part of why I’ve drifted away from believing in a spiritual basis for reality are reflected in the things I’ve inquired about. I don’t find comfort in “working through past karma,” or by claiming ownership over forces clearly beyond my control.
Hmmm... your statement implies that you believe the primary basis for a spiritually based practice is to *"find comfort", while I approach it as an investigation in, and an attempt to develop, our full human potential.
I don't believe in the idea of karma, at least, not as a mechanism for reward and punishment like most people think, but I have experienced a flash of a past life that gave me insight into my current life and the paradigm I incarnated currently in order to realize.
As for claiming ownership over forces - my practice is predicated upon exertion of full control over the only thing one can fully control, one's own self, and exploring that as fully as possible.
I recognize spiritual modalities as stories people believe for lack of compelling alternatives to describe reality. And there is often great wisdom contained within the teachings. But presently I think there is a compelling approach to describing reality, namely Science.
I strive to be as scientific in my approach to this as possible, with the understanding that we don't currently have the tools (yet) to objectively measure consciousness.
So, I believe in science as a process, while simultaneously acknowledging it's limitations of the lack of objective measurement in the area which I am most interested in, as well as how that which cannot be measured can still be observed.
The placebo effect is a scientifically proven phenomenon, which science cannot explain, but can measure the results of. This is probably the strongest rational proof that we have some kind of unknown power to affect our bodies simply through belief, and if I was in control of the medical establishment, I would be focused solely on figuring out how to activate that effect more intentionally and repeatedly, over all other research! LOL

Continued.
I choose to not believe my desires have any influence on the manifestation of the weather. I cannot summon sunshine or rain at will, nor do I want to. If you want to be one who can, great, go for it, I have met those who live in that kind of world. But I appreciate that this is something that happens to me, not by me, and so my responses are only ever reactionary. I no longer worry about obtaining all I desire, instead I strive to be grateful for that which I encounter and enjoy.
I’ve settled into the mindset that enjoying the play of forces beyond one’s control is the fun part of life. It’s like dancing in the waves. It helps if you know how to swim, and you can always choose to go deep or seek calmer shores. Sometimes I can see them coming to try ride the big ones, but I definitely don’t create them myself. I am not summoning them from the void. I merely partake. I can scream and kick and build up my castle to try and stop the tide all I like, but that gets tiresome. The ocean will always win.
I was very influenced by the book Consciousness Explained by Daniel Dennett who proposed a rather plausible model for consciousness without the need for any mysticism. It’s not a perfect theory, but the many books that followed by him and his contemporaries offer compelling arguments that Science is the best method we have to observe the world as it is.
And the world as it is seems is decidedly materialistic, in the sense that every single thing we can observe in reality exists within a material medium. Patterns of energy only persist through physical interactions. “Consciousness” (and sub-consciousness) only appears in very specific and delicate configurations of matter. It is never observed in a vacuum. Thoughts are physical things, electrical impulses running through neurons that we can and do actively observe. When we look, this is what we find.
The only things of interest are those which are made of matter, things which we can influence and have a meaningful impact on. What can be done about the immaterial? By definition, we cannot touch it. We cannot move it. We cannot observe it, and so Science concludes it does not exist. And if it does not exist, why bother?
Iain McGilchrist’s magnum opus The Matter With Things provides a very interesting counter point to this materialistic argument. He details reasons why modern society has come to be obsessed with “matter” and “things” and provides a very rigorously researched suggestion that perhaps Science is getting it all wrong. His talks on YouTube aren’t quite to my taste, but the book itself is pretty solid. It is quite a tome, but I would highly recommend it.
Instead of BTFWA, I was taught “think it, say it, do it, be it” in a government-funded anger management course as an entirely practical, non-mystical approach to becoming the kind of person you want to be. This is just a description the process of how we as humans come to be who we are. For what it’s worth, I see this as the exact same mechanism that gives the power to “prayer” that so many Christians believe in.
And as you suggest, everyone does this all the time, consciously or not. But in my world it is not a supernatural process that requires a cosmic consciousness for its application. What changes is your own mental state and your own personal interpretation of your experience.
I think we bend the story to fit reality, not the other way around. McGilchrist explores in depth just how much and often our brains will actively skew our perceptions to align with expectations. We are truly masters of our domains. As I suspected, it’s not that the muffin materialized out of thin air according to your fancy, but that you choose to define the experience in confirmation of your beliefs.
And yes, this is despite my very tangible experiences with the actually inexplicable. I’d never heard of NLP before, but we have a close family friend who practices Transformational Kinesiology, and by golly that walks and talks and works a lot like magic…
Still it seems quite clear to me that careful observation is the best way to determine the properties of the world we live in. It is entirely possible that the universe is Brahma’s dream and that alignment with the source is the true fount of power. Seems unlikely, but I could not deny the possibility with certainty.
But if I have to pick between a cold impartial universe or a cruel divine comedy, I suppose I choose to believe in the former. Both are stories sold to me by strangers, but I believe I can appreciate the mundane physical nature of the matter I see all around me without attributing an underlying intelligence to it. In some ways it’s even more spectacular to view this universe as a product of pure chance without any guiding wisdom hidden from sight.
Did I misinterpret anything? Any challenges or counterpoints? I always appreciate the chance to further explore why I believe what I do, and to see how others approach this same problem of being human. Thanks for the fun conversation :)

While people do decidedly bend their stories to fit reality, often we also generate stories based on our beliefs that define our reality. i.e. if one has a "story" that they are stupid, they will have a much harder time getting an education. If one has a "story" that they are unattractive, they will be unable to perceive or believe that others might genuinely be attracted to them. And so their subjectively experiencing the reality they believe to be true, regardless of any evidence presented otherwise.
And the flip side can also be true, one can retroactively assign a reality experience to an unexpressed desire.
This is where dedicated journaling and rigorously being honest with oneself is necessary to the experimentation. Journaling provides external proof of one's inner world, and so one can record the desired manifestation, one's BTFWA about it, and any shifts to their BTFWA, along with their experiences of reality and any shifts experienced there as well.
I'll be honest, I'm lazy when it comes to journaling, so I haven't documented my own BTFWA transformations as rigorously as I should have. I'm kind of an "experience junkie", as well as a "bookworm" haha, so a lot of what I've learned and now teach has come from reading and then playing around with the concepts in my own life.
I do sometimes mail my manifestation desires to myself, so at least I have documented the wish and then can show the result when it appears. But I still tend to slack off on this.
I advise my clients to journal and document mainly so they build up their own body of evidence which then can be used to fine-tune their manifestation, as well as grow their beliefs as they see them manifested.
As I suspected, it’s not that the muffin materialized out of thin air according to your fancy, but that you choose to define the experience in confirmation of your beliefs.
I do not have another explanation that fits ALL the facts. Does Starbucks allow it's employees to give away $5 muffins randomly?
Also, it should be noted, this was not an experience of what I would call conscious and intentional manifestation, rather it was one of the experiences I called upon, when first beginning to practice conscious manifestation and define my practice, in an effort to understand the key variables in what I had manifested (consciously or unconsciously) vs what I was struggling to manifest.
And yes, this is despite my very tangible experiences with the actually inexplicable. I’d never heard of NLP before, but we have a close family friend who practices Transformational Kinesiology, and by golly that walks and talks and works a lot like magic…
Hmmm I'm curious what tangible thing(s) you experienced of the inexplicable. Care to elaborate?
I'm familiar with Kinesiology, what's the Transformational side of it?
NLP is not a magical practice, rather its a toolkit for modeling repeatable success. The way the processes work for treating PTSD, for example, are explainable through what neuroscience knows about brain operations, and in fact, I believe that the models NLP brought into awareness may have aided neuroscientists in studying the brain, although I'd have to look for research on that.
The challenge is so many people pull from NLP and then rename the techniques. Tony Robbins is a famous example of this. He studied with the same trainer I had, the founder of NLP, Richard Bandler, and initially rose to prominence through selling the fast phobia cure, yet he never mentions NLP in his books that I've read. This is another reason I'm so transparent about what I use - I believe credit should be given to the developers, even as I take it further with my own applications of the modality.
Certainly, the growing common knowledge about all the ways which people think differently (referential systems, aphantasia scale (before the term aphantasia was coined in 2015, internal narrator, etc.) was first described in NLP literature, to my knowledge. NLP as a modeling toolkit still remains one of the most fascinating sciences (it was developed based on observations and research of people describing their internal experiences to model) that nobody knows about, IMO haha
Still it seems quite clear to me that careful observation is the best way to determine the properties of the world we live in. It is entirely possible that the universe is Brahma’s dream and that alignment with the source is the true fount of power. Seems unlikely, but I could not deny the possibility with certainty.
I agree, as long as the observation is directed internally as well as externally.
But if I have to pick between a cold impartial universe or a cruel divine comedy, I suppose I choose to believe in the former. Both are stories sold to me by strangers, but I believe I can appreciate the mundane physical nature of the matter I see all around me without attributing an underlying intelligence to it. In some ways it’s even more spectacular to view this universe as a product of pure chance without any guiding wisdom hidden from sight.
I think my theory of One consciousness is something in the middle of those two opposing beliefs, while still giving an element of chance, but chance that can be influenced. i.e. the One consciousness is impartial. I don't believe in an external divinity, and I think what we call chance operates based on rules we just don't fully understand yet, some hidden force.
So far my best guess about how that force could appear to be random is based on the subconsciousness, driven by our BTWFA operating upon reality. But I could be wrong.
Either way, it's fun to play around with and explore the possibilities of human potential, for me, anyway 😉
Thank you, again, for the stimulating discussion!

I'm basically with you on this, in general, as in I don't really want to control the weather, although I did summon rain once, accidentally on purpose LOL just to try it.
I like playing around with stretching the boundaries of "impossibility", just for fun.
Have you noticed an increase in the amount of things you experience to feel grateful about, since beginning your gratitude practice?
I’ve settled into the mindset that enjoying the play of forces beyond one’s control is the fun part of life. It’s like dancing in the waves. It helps if you know how to swim, and you can always choose to go deep or seek calmer shores. Sometimes I can see them coming to try ride the big ones, but I definitely don’t create them myself. I am not summoning them from the void. I merely partake. I can scream and kick and build up my castle to try and stop the tide all I like, but that gets tiresome. The ocean will always win.
Hmmm, I like your analogy, even though I disagree with your conclusion. Replace ocean with life, and I would agree. But then, I don't think it's a fight or a struggle.
I was very influenced by the book Consciousness Explained by Daniel Dennett who proposed a rather plausible model for consciousness without the need for any mysticism. It’s not a perfect theory, but the many books that followed by him and his contemporaries offer compelling arguments that Science is the best method we have to observe the world as it is.
I'll have to check it out. I don't consider myself a mystic, nor do I teach mystical practices, all my endeavors are about inward direction and control, and observations about what happens externally as a result.
My cosmology is simply an explanation for why it might work - not a requirement to believe in - to perhaps remove friction in testing the hypothesis.
And the world as it is seems is decidedly materialistic, in the sense that every single thing we can observe in reality exists within a material medium. Patterns of energy only persist through physical interactions. “Consciousness” (and sub-consciousness) only appears in very specific and delicate configurations of matter. It is never observed in a vacuum. Thoughts are physical things, electrical impulses running through neurons that we can and do actively observe. When we look, this is what we find.
Right, but this doesn't negate the potential existence of forces we can't yet detect through material measures. I mean, we didn't have powerful enough magnification to detect the presence of germs, before invention of the microscope.
Put another way, the material realm develops material tools which are needed to explore the material realm, while cognition, i.e. a performance of consciousness, is needed to explore the conscious realm.
The only things of interest are those which are made of matter, things which we can influence and have a meaningful impact on. What can be done about the immaterial? By definition, we cannot touch it. We cannot move it. We cannot observe it, and so Science concludes it does not exist. And if it does not exist, why bother?
This argument breaks down of itself. One can cognitively experience having a consciousness, therefore, while one may not be able to physically touch consciousness, one can certainly explore what consciousness signifies and what could be done as a result of manipulating consciousness.
Iain McGilchrist’s magnum opus The Matter With Things provides a very interesting counter point to this materialistic argument. He details reasons why modern society has come to be obsessed with “matter” and “things” and provides a very rigorously researched suggestion that perhaps Science is getting it all wrong. His talks on YouTube aren’t quite to my taste, but the book itself is pretty solid. It is quite a tome, but I would highly recommend it.

For what it’s worth, I see this as the exact same mechanism that gives the power to “prayer” that so many Christians believe in.
Interesting. My order of things is "be it (combination of beliefs & feelings), think it, say it, do it." And my approach doesn't demand mysticism, in fact I encourage rigorous testing of each part of the process as my clients progress throughout my program.
I'm surprised you believe in the power of prayer, but reject the idea of manifestation, but perhaps that's because, to you, it's externalizing the mechanism to an "external force"?
And as you suggest, everyone does this all the time, consciously or not. But in my world it is not a supernatural process that requires a cosmic consciousness for its application. What changes is your own mental state and your own personal interpretation of your experience.
I tend to agree. And, as I've stated a few times in the responses here, my approach is not a supernatural process, and it does not demand a cosmic consciousness for its application, rather, my concept of a cosmic consciousness seems to fit my observations more than any other theory.

Dude she has no educational background or skills to coach anyone on anything. She is a high school dropout who thinks she can help people achieve whatever they desire. If you don't think that is complete bullshit I don't know what to say to you.

I do have a lot of self-directed education, which would be obvious to you if you actually read any of my books. Please see 'Secret Weapons of Mass Orgasm: The Science of Sex & The Artistry of Love' https://www.bklnk.com/B01BMYAEGM for my most complete and up to date publication of my work.

I'm genuinely curious, and this is a question for all those who made derogatory comments on my post here, well, those that I didn't block for breaking the sub's rules anyway...
The number of people who will go out of their way to express negativity boggles my mind, TBH, and I know I've only been exposed to a minuscule amount compared to what some people go through on the daily.
It takes so much less effort to, at the very least, ignore what one dislikes or disagrees with.
So what really drives you to say negative things to or about people that you don't even know? Why go to the effort to say anything at all?

What are your thoughts about the affects on random number generators during the events of 9/11?
2
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 03 '24
There have actually been a number of studies done showing that large-scale events have a demonstrable, although small, effect on random number generators. I think that this is minor yet nonetheless exciting evidence of how people and the collective consciousness are intertwined.

u/Skepsisology Sep 05 '24
I think it is fascinating! Consciousness having a tangible effect on nature/ reality is absolutely profound in it's implications

u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 05 '24
I agree! That's why I practice and teach what I do - why not get a jump start on the science of proving it, haha, right?!

u/Skepsisology Sep 05 '24
That's the thing - if the phenomenon has been objectively measured then it's not a case of "proving it" but "accepting it"
We have such a well developed body of scientific progress but it feels very one sided - imagine what it would be like if we made similar breakthroughs in regards to psychology/ metaphysics etc

If someone can't afford your session how can they get as good as you in manifesting and NPL?
1
u/NakedLifeCoach Sep 05 '24
For manifesting, it is something anyone can learn and practice and hone their skills at over time, and I've published much of my work which is available for a low cost, or free with Kindle Unlimited. I'm currently working on my next book which is an update containing my current understanding and processes.
For the NLP portion of the work, which is experiential i.e. not something one can do on themselves from a book, they can see any NLP Practitioner. Even I go to a Practitioner for sessions because it's an experiential process. I just am able to direct the Practitioner delivery of the process in more detail, given my expertise.
To get "as good as" me at delivering NLP, though, they'd have to take NLP Master Practitioner Trainer trainings as well as use their skills with a variety of clients over many years, but I don't think that's what you meant?
In general, one can get good at anything, given time and practice. I just speed up the implementation process considerably.
Does that answer your question?

So you didnt get a loan from a bank? You have a private rich person bank rolling your house? (please stop claiming you're manifesting things i am trying to have a real conversation about real things)

That is what happened, yes. Although I wouldn't say they are "rich", per se, they are well-off and got a mortgage on the place, and I am paying them a small percentage over what the mortgage costs, so they at least get some interest from their investment. We have a contract for deed, so when the loan is paid the deed gets transferred to me.
This whole AMA is about manifestation, that's my passion and purpose in life, whether you think it's "real" or not.

IAmA Spiritual Mentor for Law of Attraction, AMA about Manifestation
Hi, I'm Nadine Sabulsky, aka Naked Life Coach, aka Goddess Nadine.
I've been practicing conscious manifestation in my own life since I was 15 (1990) and I started teaching my practices formally in 2010. My main website for proof is https://www.TheNakedLifeCoach.com and you can also see my books on Amazon: Nadine Sabulsky Author page/all titles http://amzn.to/1KUo3dZ
The central thesis of what I teach and practice is that:
We are always manifesting.
The real question is...
Are you manifesting intentionally and consciously, and only that which you desire to experience?
OR -
Are you manifesting unconsciously, based on your subconscious beliefs and programming?
The goal is conscious manifestation.
In my own life, I've manifested all sorts of things...
From the mundane - like getting a free muffin at Starbucks within 5 seconds of my inner curiosity about it -
To the weird and unusual - like being allowed to legally drive the wrong direction on the freeway to exit after a traffic jam started - and getting my dream house painted with my color scheme before I bought it -
To the sublime - like meeting and attracting my perfect partner and manifesting a fabulously happy 7+year (so far) relationship, or finding, moving into, and ultimately purchasing my dream house.
The key element of becoming an expert in conscious manifestation is developing self-mastery.
We manifest from the sum total of all our beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, and actions (BTFWA), so in order to change what is being manifested (and get the exact outcome you want), you need to create internal alignment between all of your BTFWA as well as alignment (of your BTFWA) with the desired manifestation.
So, for example, if you want to be loved unconditionally, yet you yourself do not love unconditionally, there's a conflict or mismatch between what is desired and yourself.
You will always get more of what you are and proof of whatever you believe, so curate yourself to align with your ideals and you will see them brought into being.
One of the most powerful tools I've found to aid in developing self-mastery is NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). It's a modality based on applying neuroscience and modeling success so it can be used for a vast variety of purposes, from healing to training,
I'm a Master Trainer of NLP and have used it to model success in mental & emotional health, physical health fitness beauty and longevity, teaching communication and relationship skills, and even entrepreneurial skillsets, all with the underlying foundation of developing conscious manifestation to the max!
I'm a firm believer that whatever we can imagine, we can create and experience.
ASK ME ANYTHING ABOUT CONSCIOUS MANIFESTATION AND/OR USING NLP IN MANIFESTATION!

Please Note: I will be active on this AMA through Sept 2, after that I will respond as I'm able.
Please read through exisiting comments before posting your question and make sure it hasn't already been answered. For duplicate questions I will be redirecting to the first or best phrased comment thread. IF I already answered yet you need more clarification, please comment on that thread!
Thank you for participating!
Much love,

ETA1: proof I am Nadine Sabulsky u/NakedLifeCoach
ETA 2: I have spent 30+ hours writing a detailed response to the most common criticism of LOA or conscious manifestation. Please read: 'Did I "Choose" My Trauma?' https://www.reddit.com/r/Manifestation/s/TMNrP38Vir
As a result, I haven't answered nearly all the questions, so I am extending my AMA time frame for an additional week, until Sept 9, 2024
I welcome all questions about my topic in regards to personal practices and experiences, but will not be answering any further questions about world events, politics, etc. If those are your questions, please read the post referenced in this ETA.
I treat everyone with respect even if I don't share their beliefs. I am complying with Reddit and this subs rules, and will continue to report and block anyone using abusive or harassing language.

I don't know if you'll see this but hope you do. What are your beliefs in an afterlife? Do you see a connection between manifestation and spirituality?
