The Biggest Lies You’ve Been Told About Manifestation

Hi everyone. Welcome or welcome back to the channel. Today we're going to go through 10 of the most common myths and misconceptions about manifestation. Because there is so much stuff on the Internet that is just not true. And if you've been trying to manifest your desires, if you've been trying to create your dream reality, you might have found it really difficult to apply certain techniques, certain principles, or even believe in manifestation. So we're going to go through the misconceptions and I'm going to break down what manifestation is not and what it actually is so that you can have better success manifesting your desired reality. So the first myth is that manifestation is just wishful thinking. It's delusional. It's woo woo. Manifestation is not some woo woo spiritual principle that only, like, witchy people do. It's. It's something that we're actually all doing automatically, all the time. It's not wishful thinking either, because every single thing that exists in physical reality first had to exist in somebody's mind, in someone's imagination before anything was ever invented. Okay, let's take an example that I always love to say. Before we could fly planes, we basically had to start visualizing. There are certain people who were very innovative, started imagining this thing called a plane. You know, people being able to fly in the sky in some sort of aircraft or some sort of vehicle. So at that time, that was wishful thinking to normal people who were in logic and thinking rationally. But if it weren't for the people who had the imagination and who held that vision of flight in their imagination, it wouldn't have been birthed into physical reality. And it's the same thing for everything they this mic, you know, these, this outfit, this plant, this chair. Everything first had to exist in somebody's mind on the mental plane before it could be birthed on the physical plane. So that is the order of creation in reality. So it's far from wishful thinking. Imagination is the birthplace of physical reality. Whether you like it or not. That is a fact. Most people don't realize the power of their imagination because they stay so trapped in thinking logically and thinking about what they know and what's familiar, that they never get to experience the power that their imagination has by imagining something new. The second myth is that manifestation is unscientific or there's no actual proof that manifestation is real. You're going to believe what you believe according to your programmed belief system. Okay? But I implore you to start opening your mind and gathering evidence if you think this is something that could help you in your life, or why not see what other possibilities are out there? This is what I did when I was a huge skeptic about manifestation. And what I found was manifestation is actually very much supported by science. So if we look at quantum mechanics, we know that when probabilities are observed by an external observer, they collapse into particles, meaning our conscious observation of possibilities in the quantum field is what collapses them into physical form. So that's the quantum physics perspective. But even if we look at things like the placebo effect, you know, we know our minds are very powerful. We know our minds have the potential to heal our body physically. If you look at something like hypnosis, people can be hypnotized into healing physical illnesses. They can be hypnotized into acting like a monkey. Why? Because we. We have a subconscious mind that rules our body, rules all the functions in our body, rules our perception, rules everything. And so when you realize the power of your mind, and you know that this is backed by neuroscience and quantum mechanics and many other fields, you can start to kind of uproot this limiting belief that it's just not scientific or it's not backed by anything real or logical. But even if we take that argument, science is just one, one field of information. And if you go back thousands and thousands of years, the original scientists were essentially the Hermetics, who were these ancient philosophers. And alchemy was the first ever science to exist. Science and spirituality used to be one. They used to be one thing. And over time, as we became more a more left brain society, the two branched out into two different domains. Spirituality became woo woo, you know, not founded in logic. And then science became something that we started worshiping as a fundamental truth. But if you look back thousands of years ago at the ancient Hermetic texts, and even like the Kabbalah, things like that, you can see the principles that were spoken about back then are only now being confirmed in modern science. So the argument that manifestation is not scientific puts science on a pedestal above everything else. And I would implore you to question that even as a whole. Why are you taking science as law when thousands of years ago, the original scientists were the very ones speaking about the power of our energy and our mind. Okay, myth number three, you just have to think positive. Positive thinking is not manifestation. Positive thinking is a component of transformation. It can be helpful, but it is not the full picture. You cannot fake your way into alignment through toxic positivity and affirmations. What is manifestation really? Okay, if you're trying to manifest a change in physical reality. You have to change within, as within as without. If you don't change within, the without won't change. Okay? Outside, you cannot change. And so for you to be thinking more positively, yes, that's great, and that can be one component of it. But really, if you're trying to go to a new reality, you have to be thinking in alignment with that reality. And not just thinking. You have to be believing and identifying as the version of you who's already in that reality. That's how you align energetically with a new physical reality. And so what manifestation actually is is aligning your energy to the version of you who's already in your desired reality. It's not actually anything to do with thinking positive. The version of you who's in your desired reality, they might not be that positive. Okay, they can still have negative thoughts, but they have the outcome that you desire. So it's not about thinking positive. It's about aligning your energy so your belief system is in alignment with your desired reality. Your identity is in alignment with your desired reality. Your thoughts are in alignment with your desired reality. Your emotions and your attention are in alignment with your. Your desired reality. Myth number four. You have to be high vibe all the time. I could do a whole video on this, and I just might. In fact, I kind of have done a video on this. It's the shadow work video. So go and watch that if this resonates with you. You do not need to be high vibe all the time in order to manifest a change in your reality. In fact, needing to be high vibe all the time is probably slowing you down because that creates resistance towards any negativity coming to the surface. And when you're shifting your energy, when you're actually doing manifestation of a change correctly, and you're changing your energy, you're changing your identity, you're changing your belief system. Your old self needs to die, if that's what you're doing. Your old self needs to die. And that can bring up feelings of. Of fear, that can bring up feelings of grief, that can bring up feelings of doubt as the old self falls away and the new self is brought in. And so for you to be think, okay, I've started this journey, and this is so common. I've started this journey trying to manifest something. And now I feel terrible. Now I feel like all my deepest, darkest fears are coming to the surface. Great. You're doing it right. Perfect. You're right on time. I don't think I'VE had one client who's gone through a serious shift internally, who has not had some negativity come to the surface to be cleared. Because, okay, again, this is going to be a whole. A whole thing. But I'll keep it as short as I can. Your consciousness is shifting from playing one character to playing another character so that your frequency can be resonant with another physical reality. That's all that manifestation is. And so in order for your consciousness to be able to shift into another state, you've got to release the blockages internally that are not resonant with that state, with that version of you. So we're all walking around here as consciousness, okay, as fractals of source consciousness. And we are limited from seeing our creative capacity and seeing our potential. We think we're these kind of small, limited, fearful beings because of things that we've just stored internally. And so as you're going throughout the process of freeing yourself from your old identity and from your old life, the things you've stored inside you that have kept you trapped in that old life and that old identity, they need to come, come out. And when something was stored with pain, it's going to come to the surface and be released with pain. I got that from the untethered soul. I think. I think Michael Singer said that when it's stored with pain, it's going to come up with pain. It's going to be released with pain. And you trying to be high vibe all the time is slowing that process down. You know, the enlightened masters, superconscious beings, they don't have any of this stuff stored inside because they didn't resist this stuff when it came up. They let things pass through them. They let anger, negativity, fear pass through them rather than resisting it, trying to be high vibe. So a truly spiritual person embraces their darkness. I'm going to leave a whole video below on shadow work. I think it's called embrace your darkness. So if you need more guidance on that, you can watch that. But no, you do absolutely do not need to be high vibe all the time. In fact, if you could stop trying to be high vibe all the time and just be honest with yourself and be self aware, you will make so much more progress. Myth number five, if it's not happening, I'm doing it wrong. If I can't see it in my reality, it must not be working. Physical manifestation is the final 1% of the process of manifestation. So 99% of manifestation is completed before you see it in physical reality. Why? Because physical reality is the lowest vibrational realm. Okay? It's. If we look at the map of, like, scales of consciousness, we have the spiritual plane, which is the highest form of consciousness. We have the mental plane, which is like a middle form. And then we have the physical plane, which is the lowest form of consciousness. It's the densest. It's the 3D reality, if you want to conceptualize it like that. The mental plane is 4D, 5D, and above that is the spiritual, 60, 70, et cetera, et cetera. And so it is. It is an end result of the preceding planes of existence. So the shift needs to happen mentally, energetically, spiritually, emotionally, and then it will happen physically. So there is a time lag, usually with the manifestation process for it to be reflected physically in front of you. And this is where most people fail in trying to manifest a change in reality. They get too caught up in seeing the change in reality, and they decide, okay, it's not working. And then they change their energy internally, and then that's what kills the manifestation externally. So manifesting something, and I say this all the time in my community especially, manifesting a change internally has to be enough, because that is manifestation. It's not actually about the external reality. You are the cause. Okay? Your energy, your identity, your emotions, your beliefs are the things that are aligning you with different experiences in physical reality. So using physical reality to dictate your state and saying, okay, I don't see it outside me yet. So I'm gonna let all this doubt come in. I'm gonna let all this fear come in, and I'm gonna change what I'm doing and change my beliefs and change my energy and just give up. That's what's actually blocking your physical manifestation. And part of what's probably stopping it and delaying it even more is you waiting to see it externally. You have to be so okay with the internal transformation that you've had, and let that be your manifestation to the point that you don't even need to see it outside you. That's when you will see it. I'm going to give you an analogy to help you with this. Think about when you plant a seed in the ground. That's the same as when you change your belief or when you change your identity or when you set a new intention. You've planted this seed internally, what do you need to do then? You need to let it go and let it grow. So essentially, when you shift your energy internally, when you shift what you're thinking about in your Mind you are, then you're changing your energy and then you're allowing and you're surrendering it to the spiritual plane, to God, to the infinite, to figure out the how, because that is the realm where everything already exists. You're not going to be the one to actually create the thing that you desire. You're just aligning with it, with your energy. So you plant the energetic seed, then you let it go. You let it go. You coming in and looking for it and trying to figure out what, when, where, how, why, is basically you trying to come in and dig the seed out and build the plant with your two hands. Let nature unfold this for you. Let life unfold this for you like it does with everything. This universe has been here for 14 billion years. You know, all the things in nature, our bodies, our brains, us as human beings, everything that exists was not created by you. And so your desired reality is actually not going to be created by you either. Just like the plant in the ground coming out of the seed is not going to be created by you. You need to plant it and leave it alone. And so that's the, that's an analogy that can really help you. And you feel the need to cling on and look for something. Let's life unfold it for you. Let the universe, let God unfold this for you. Get out of the way and it will come so much faster. Myth number seven, Negative thoughts attract bad things. This is not necessarily true, of course. If you're thinking negatively all the time, that has a compounding effect. It depends on how you interact with your negative thoughts. So instead of spiraling into more negativity and judging yourself, when you notice that you've been in a negative sense thought pattern, you have to start looking at this stuff as feedback. You know, just like the emotional state and not being high vibe all the time. If you have an emotional low, you have to take the lessons and observe what's happening and move through it with compassion for yourself and for your journey. Okay? And it's the same thing with negative thoughts. You know, if you notice that you're thinking negatively, use it as feedback. Ask yourself, where are these thoughts coming from? What belief is driving this? Is there a way that I'm looking at something that's causing me to think like this and figure out the source of the negativity? It can be a blessing actually, sometimes to have this stuff come up because you can realize, wow, I have this belief that's been programmed into me that's been causing me to think like this every time, for example, I get in the car every time I have a meeting, whatever it is. So when you use negative thoughts as feedback, they actually will help your manifestation because they will help you shift your energy, which is the whole point of manifestation. So it's not even about controlling your thoughts. It's about observing them. They're actually a great opportunity to detach from the ego and observe the ego. If you were thinking positively all the time, you would find it more difficult to actually step out of the ego self because you would want to be in your ego self because it's. It's positive in there. You're thinking happy thoughts, you're thinking good things. And so you can get more attached to your ego because your ego is the one that gets attached to the thoughts, right? But if you're thinking negatively, it actually might force you and push you to step outside and start detaching from your thoughts, which will help you to detach from the ego, okay? Because the ego is the one that attaches to the thoughts. And eventually, when you get this detachment from your thoughts consistently. I mean, the whole reason I even started meditating was because I had so many negative and unhelpful thoughts, and I just wanted them to shut the hell up so I could relax for a minute. But when you meditate consistently, that's where you get to. You realize you're not these thoughts, these thoughts are basically like different clouds passing by, which is kind of the truth. On the mental plane, all of these thought forms exist. You're just connecting your consciousness to different ones. And your ego likes different thought forms more than others based on what you've stored inside you. But you, as the conscious observer, as the higher consciousness within you, can take your awareness back off any thought at any moment with enough practice. So negative thoughts can be a gift because they can show you, okay? You can step back from this. You can observe this, and that's where your power is. If you're briefly in a negative spiral, that is not going to ruin your manifestation. What's most important is your overall energy, your overall identity, your overall belief system. Myth number eight. Manifestation means doing nothing and waiting. This is a very, very common trap, and it's not necessarily true. There are some things that can be manifested into your experience without much action. That is true. But typically, if you're looking for a big shift in your reality, you have to shift your consciousness on all the planes of existence. So on the spiritual plane, on the mental plane, and on the physical plane, you need to align on all three Planes for manifestation to occur, like I said, okay? So first you align your mind, you align your beliefs, your thoughts, your identity, your focus, all of that. Then you surrender, okay? So that's where you let it go. And you don't keep forcing and taking action out of fear. You surrender it to the spiritual for things to unfold as life naturally does. And then when you receive intuition or an idea or an insight or an opportunity that feels aligned and feels right, that is your prompt to take action. We are here on this physical plane. You know, a lot of spiritual people, they want to bypass a lot of things, and they want to just live in their third eye and float on a cloud. But we're here in this physical plane. And so when you get an insight, when you get an opportunity knocking at your door, God gave you a body and arms and legs and a mind and eyes and ears and a voice, you are supposed to take action. That's the final 1% of your manifestation, okay, Is to do things on this physical plane, to receive things on this physical plane. And so when you align mentally, spiritually, then you are supposed to take action because that's you aligning physically. So it's not about doing nothing. Myth number nine. You have to visualize every detail perfectly. This is something that is spoken about a lot, actually, in the manifestation community. And I've joined courses and groups and read books that really emphasize, like, oh, you need to be so on it with visualization. And yes, it's such a powerful tool, But I have manifested a lot of changes into my reality that I didn't visualize, or I visualize maybe once or twice, but not all that clearly. So what's more important than visualization is, once again, energetic alignment. Alignment in your identity, in your belief system, in your self concept, in your emotional state, in your focus. That's more important. So visualization is a tool that can help you get there. But if you're finding it difficult to visualize, that doesn't mean that you're still not going to get there, okay? A lot of people find it difficult to visualize. By the way, if you have a dysregulated nervous system, go regulate your nervous system first and then try to visualize. You will find it a whole lot easier. But you don't need to be so regimented. This is something I see in so many people. They're so regimented about visualizing and making it so specific and so perfect, and they're so on it to the point that it's actually harming their self concept. And their emotional state, because they're being so strict with themselves, they're not allowing any room for error. And they're saying, if I don't get this perfectly, then I'm not going to be able to manifest. And that's what's messing up the alignment and the manifestation. So what's more powerful is, yes, visualize. You know, I've manifested a lot of things through visualizing something a couple of times, and then I felt my energy was in a good place and it was aligned, so I just rolled with that. I didn't keep forcing visualizations when it felt forced. So put your energy and alignment with the version of you who you know you need to become that's resonant with your desired reality. Put that on the pedestal. And visualization is only useful when it helps you achieve that end result. What are you doing in visualization? This is how I explain it in my community. The whole point of visualization is you're connecting your consciousness to a parallel reality and you're tuning into the frequency of the version of you who's there already. So you're introducing that frequency to your energy when you visualize. But you can maintain that frequency through many other practices. You know, you can do it through scripting, you can do it through journaling, you can do it just through meditating. There are many, many ways you can maintain it. Myth number 10, manifestation works for others, but it doesn't work for me. Well, this is a huge misconception because you're actually manifesting right now. Whether you believe it or not. You've manifested, unbeknownst to you, everything in your reality up until this moment based on the energy that you've had up until this moment. And so you are constantly manifesting. It's not something that's out of your scope. You do it as naturally as breathing. The hurdle that you're probably bumping into is you're trying to take something that was once unconscious and you're trying to now do it consciously. And so this is the difficulty that people have at manifestation. It's like you're trying to take something as natural as breathing and trying to force yourself through doing it, forgetting that it's completely natural to you. There's a lot of reasons why you might be holding on to this belief. You might be scared to actually step into your power. You might have low self worth, which is honestly at the core of a lot of people struggles with manifestation. Not seeing their power, not seeing their value, not believing they're worthy or good enough. That's the stuff that really slows you down and stops you from seeing what you're actually capable of when it comes to manifesting a change in your life. If you're coming into this with a victim mindset, you're going to think that nothing works for you, when in fact it's the belief that it won't work for you that is stopping it from working for you. And so you've got to start healing anything that's telling you that you're not good enough or that you're not capable, because that's all a lie. We all have the same creative consciousness within us. It's just our programming and our trauma that stops us from really believing in it. And I just want to say, as a broad, sweeping statement, if you're trying to manifest change in your reality to escape some kind of pain or some kind of fear or some kind of insecurity, it's not going to work. You need to heal the pain, you need to heal the insecurity. You need to release the fear and face it. Then you will see the manifestation in physical reality. Why? Because you've changed internally, which is all that manifestation actually is. What can happen when you're coming from a place of lack, when you're coming from a place of trying to fill a void through manifesting something in your physical reality is you end up trying all these techniques, trying all these tools. You spend so much energy getting this heart and doing all of this stuff. Then you start thinking, why me? Why do I have to do all of this stuff? Why am I so broken, really at the root of it? All you ever have to do was heal the stuff that's stopping you from loving yourself and accepting yourself. And when you can make changes from that energy, those are the changes that are going to work. Those are the changes that are going to last. Because you're changing yourself because you love yourself, not because you're running away from yourself. I always give this analogy, and I don't know how we've segued over here, but I just felt this was important to say as an overarching misconception on manifestation. It's not going to heal you. You know, no external thing is going to heal you. And I always give this analogy, you know, when we think about, okay, I'm going to go over here, I'm going to get this thing, I'm going to get this person, I'm going to achieve this success, and then I'm going to be healed and secure. It's like your energy for Example is a house, okay? And in your house you've got goblins in the basement. I don't know where this analogy came from, but you've got goblins in the basement of your house. Those goblins are your fears, your insecurities, your anxiety, all of these things. You saying, I'm going to go and get this thing is basically like you running out of your house, going down the street, going into someone else's house and trying to get something from them, or going to the pub, or going to, I don't know, wherever else and trying to like get all these things and buy all of these things. The goblins are still in your basement, in your house. None of that fixed it. And so manifestation feels like a very forward moving action, taking go and getting action. But it's not. It's about coming home, releasing your inner blockages and the things that are stopping you from seeing your power and from loving yourself and fully valuing yourself. And when you do that, then you're able to make changes that feel empowered and inspired and aligned. And that is when you become a truly powerful manifester because you actually believe in yourself. You don't need all these techniques, you don't need all of these things outside you. And when you stop chasing things outside you, they stop running from you. Okay? If any of these myths resonated with you, it's because you know on some level that manifestation is real. But maybe you've just been looking at it the wrong way and you haven't been able to actually integrate it in a way that really resonates with the truth of how the universe works. If you want step by step resources to help you integrate everything that came up today to help you shift your identity, rewire your belief systems, change your energy, you can find the link below to my private community.
