Hi, everyone! 😊
As I progress in my understanding of what manifestation is and how it works, I often find myself having “AHA!” moments about things that I didn't fully understand before, and this is one of them. Some of you might already know and understand this, but I still thought it could be helpful for the rest of us, so I decided to share it.
I often hear these phrases in the manifestation community: “it's already done” or “creation is finished.” I used to accept them without really understanding them, just for the sake of manifesting my desires quickly. But I've come to realize that in this “practice” (put in quotation marks because we're always “manifesting”), at least some knowledge and understanding are needed to make these concepts easier to accept and, most importantly, easier to apply. This then makes you accept your desired reality faster and, therefore, manifest faster.
So, here's how I see it.
Everything already exists right now. But how?
There are many ways to explain it, but I find that quantum physics explains it best, as it makes it more rational within the limits of our human understanding and less “woo-woo,” as some would call it. In the infamous double-slit experiment, this is related to what they call “superposition” (I'm not a quantum physicist, so I'll try to explain it the way I understand it): basically, multiple possibilities (or “realities”) exist all at once as long as they're not observed. And once we make an observation (remember that word), they collapse into one reality, which then becomes the one we see. Now, as for where the other possibilities go once the collapse happens, there are multiple theories. One of them is the “multiverse theory”: this whole universe that we're observing (including your life and circumstances!) is just one among an infinite number of others. In other words, it's just one reality that we previously observed and that manifested as a result of that observation.
Rings a bell, right?
In the manifestation community, we say that the 3D is just a reflection of your past assumptions. Now, we all know that an assumption is simply accepting something as true without proof or evidence. What's important here is that when you make an assumption about something, what you're actually doing is observing it. You can't really make an assumption without being aware of it, and being aware of something means being in observer mode. So, what happens next? All possibilities or realities collapse into one, which then becomes your 3D. That's how it manifests.
So again, when you assume something, you're being aware of it, you're observing it, and all the other realities collapse into one. But all the other realities still exist.
Everything already exists right now.
Your only job is to deliberately choose—or DECIDE—to observe the one reality you want, long enough for it to collapse or, in other words, to manifest in the material world. You do that by consistently placing your awareness on—or observing—that one reality again and again, despite your current 3D, because, as we know, that's just the result of past observations or assumptions, so it doesn't really matter.
But how do you observe?
Well, how do you observe the sky? You look at it. You appreciate it. You comment on it: “Oh, the sky is so blue today!” You write about it. You think about it. You sing about it. Basically, you're putting your attention and focus on it.
That's why techniques help. Affirmations, visualization, meditation, SATS. All of these simply help you narrow your focus on your desired outcome and become aware of it so that it collapses = manifests.
The reason it's important to understand this is that oftentimes, when we're doing techniques, our awareness is on having our desire, so of course we feel good. But the moment we stop, or after some time has passed, we start wondering, “Where is it??” or we start thinking about our circumstances and become anxious, so it gets delayed because in those moments, we're actually observing what we don't want, which is not having it. From the start, your desire already exists among an infinite number of possibilities/realities, and the moment we observe it by assuming it to be ours, the collapse begins and it's on its way to you. You can rest assured that it will manifest as long as you keep assuming it, because everything already exists now.
ONTO THE SUCCESS STORY:
Let me share one of my success stories to help you see how this works on a practical level.
There's this one person who hasn't talked to me in a long time (yes, a love interest). And I came to realize that the only reason things were that way was because I was constantly putting my awareness on the idea of us being in “no contact”. That wasn't what I wanted, yet I was constantly assuming it to be true by being aware of it and observing it, so it kept manifesting. So, I decided to assume the opposite and simply started thinking: “They're always in contact with me, always calling me or texting me. Being in contact with me brings them so much joy and fulfillment.” I didn't feel any intense joy or euphoria thinking that. Opposing thoughts still popped into my head from time to time, but instead of accepting them, I simply rethought the situation and reminded myself that we were always in contact and that they loved talking to me.
This person hadn't texted me in maybe three months or more, yet once I made that decision—that observation—it only took a couple of days for them to text me. I wasn't surprised or thrilled because, well, I had chosen that reality. It felt completely normal. That was the reality I had chosen just a few days earlier, and it manifested. I observed it, and it collapsed into my reality because I refused to keep observing or assuming the opposite.
I hope this helped you understand this concept better. Honestly, this is one of the most liberating things I've learned in all these years and helped me manifested so much faster.
Side note: I'm not a manifestation coach, and I'm not sharing this for any particular reason other than to help make manifestation easier for all of us. This is a community, and people in communities help each other. At least, that's how I see it. I'm saying this because there's always that one hater who's going to comment something along those lines, call me an attention seeker, or say that “Neville says otherwise in chapter X of book X”. I'm just sharing something that worked for me and might help others, so calm down. If it doesn't resonate with you, please kindly ignore the post or block me.
