The Dark Secret of Manifestation

A short foreword

There is a lot to see and read about manifestation. Masses of content on all social media platforms explaining how to create our dream life. We only create our reality through the power of our thoughts. And if we don't successfully create our dream life, then we are doing something wrong. Of course, we are!

Master of Desaster: all my fears come true

So if we don't succeed in bringing our desires into reality through imagination or journaling, meditation and other recommended techniques alone, then we are either not consistent enough or we are holding on too tightly instead of letting go. Letting go should be a deciding factor. Sometimes. Sometimes not. It always depends.

If we are still not successful despite our persistence, it is urgently necessary to realign our subconscious. Quick successes are not to be expected because it is so sluggish until it has adapted to new "programmes".

Something will be found as to why it doesn't work, especially if the subject is not consistent enough. To remedy this, there are countless workshops, which in any case manifest the dream life of those who offer shallow truths and cheap techniques for many euros and dollars. After all, we must first learn to be powerful creators of our reality. We should be worthy of that!

Seriously?

Are we living in a simulation?

To avoid misunderstandings: I do "believe" that we are the creators of our reality. And we may be living in a simulation in which we are both the player and the character. I'm not ruling it out. On the contrary: it actually opens up countless exciting possibilities. For inspiration, I recommend taking a look at the work of Donald Hoffman . YouTube is also a good source to look into his theories. He and others who can better judge his work say that the coming paradigm shift, that consciousness is fundamental, will be more profound than that from the geocentric to the heliocentric worldview. But Mr Hoffman is just one source. Anyone who wants to delve deeper will find what he or she is looking for. Or will be found!

Is manifestation our creation?

Information finds us, even if we believe that it enters our consciousness by chance. Life presents us with synchronicities. What appears to us as a sequence of coincidences is nothing other than the manifestation of our expectations: from moment to moment!

Maybe it's one more flat truth for some people. Well, I'm not trying to sell it or even offer a workshop.

I might have to think about it!

The engine of manifestation: unconscious fear

For me, it is an experience. Sometimes a wonderful one, often a frightening one. Assessments of these experiences are extremely subjective. Many people have similar experiences. Otherwise, it wouldn't be talked about too much. The fact is, we manifest without end.

Because the way we look at the world reflects our beliefs. But the mirror is selective, and so are our eyes, our focussed consciousness. And to prevent us from going mad, evolution has given us this selective perception. Otherwise, we would not be able to decide at all. The truth is, we don't know that we are doing it, manifesting. We do not realize how we do it. We are doing it incessantly. We do not fail; we choose! Here is the truth: we are powerful creators. I will show why this is true.

It is a question of perspective. It always is.

Let's say I try with all my might to prevent the "catastrophe". This is the first stone that sets the machinery in motion to make this "catastrophe", once only imagined, visible. Because that's all manifestation is: becoming visible or making visible!! To be not overwhelmed by my fear, I suppress it. I look at it half-heartedly. Maybe, and push it away.

I take action to avert the worst. I decide in favour of things that are not according to me and do not correspond to my true self. I decide against my nature and needs. At the same time, I pretend that these are my needs. At this point, I have tricked myself.

My advisor, my dark advisor, is fear disguised under the guise of reason. I am always accompanied by a dull feeling, without realising that I am heading straight on the path to my "catastrophe". This dullness tells me very clearly what I don't want to hear: it's not right! But I don't listen because I think I know how to prevent the catastrophe. There are lots of clues along the way: health problems, things that are difficult and sluggish, relationships become challenging or end, financial worries, etc. Everything on this path is a challenge.

But in the end we grow from it! Or do we not? What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. It could hardly be more stupid! Nevertheless, I keep going, on and on... Why? Because fear drives me on. It's the engine that gives me steam under my bum. The stinking breath of lost confidence in myself, and before I realise it, I have sabotaged myself until the goal is finally reached! The self-fulfilling prophesy has manifested itself. In the truest sense of the word. I predicted it and it actually happened.

Sand in the Machinery

The dark secret of manifestation is revealed

Suddenly Everything Stops! The engine stops: disaster! What I wanted to prevent with all my might has happened and the price is high. My health is ruined, my bank account is exhausted and my relationships have gone down the drain.

Does that sound familiar? You have been fighting against the odds with all your might as Don Quixote tilting at windmills? Fighting against a phantom that has empowered itself. You were so brave and so strong. You have fought your way through. No matter what it costs. But you knew it all along. You didn't believe yourself. You didn't trust yourself. In secret, in the dark, you trusted your fear, which is so familiar to you, which used you with its whispers to fulfil itself.

Now, at the very latest, is the time to face up to fear. The perfidiousness of fear lies in its repetition. It tirelessly quotes itself and eats a big, fat belly through our emotions. Sluggish and gorged to bursting, it grins at us and shouts triumphantly in our faces:

Look what you have created:
You have created your world the way you like it.
What you have been imagining in your head with masterful precision all this time is now your reality.
Congratulations on this masterpiece!

I don't mean that ironically at all. For me, it is the realisation, the gain that lies in this experience. If I didn't previously believe that I could create my world, then this very moment of catastrophe clearly shows me that I can. But really! I am a master of the art of creation. Shaping the world according to your ideas is the supreme discipline. But do we know our ideas or are we nothing more than vessels for the conditioning and imagery of our unconscious, which has its "own" ideas? This of course raises the question of "free will", which has been and continues to be posed by countless philosophers, poets and scientists. A definitive, unambiguous answer has been waiting for centuries. We may never be able to answer the question of "free will".

Conclusion: Discipline your ideas and give them the desired form. Pay attention to what you are telling yourself and immediately correct the image you have created. Don't believe everything you think. Rewrite the narrative.

The catastrophe: Wake-up call for repentance

I refrain from offering techniques on how best to face your fears. I am not a psychologist. However, I would like to give you a small hint: I have learnt a lot from the teachings of Carl Gustav Jung, especially his work on synchronicities, shadow work and archetypes because this is where our "gold" lies buried.

And perhaps the "catastrophe" that has now occurred is the "wake-up call". Finally, the word derived from the Greek means "to turn around" or "to reverse," "to twist," or "to change direction." Borrowed from the Latin word "catastropha" we find the meaning "annihilation, destruction".

It's always a question of perspective. What kind of story do you want to write?

With this in mind: happy manifesting!
