Go touch grass. You have probably heard this phrase. Maybe you have even said it. But beneath the sort of lighthearted nature of this meme is something very real and important: a growing sense that staying in touch with our humanity and being present in our bodies matters more than ever in in today's digital world. My name is Manoush Zomorodi, and I am taking over as host of TED Talks Daily this week to explore what technology is actually doing to your body and mind. In special interviews with scientists, doctors, parents, artists, and more, we're going to dig into your physical and mental health on tech. How we think about our bodies differently now, how we relate to new innovations that are amazing but also a little scary, and how we live a healthier life in this high-tech era. Tune in on TED Talks Daily wherever you listen to podcasts.

Acast.com. Hello everyone, and thank you so much for joining me on another episode of Can You Crystals? The podcast. My name is Mart Tweedy, I am your host, and today I am thrilled to have a very special guest with me. George Liso is a spiritual teacher, an author, and manifestation expert whose work blends ancient wisdom with modern spiritual practices. So his latest book, Ancient Manifestation Secrets, is out right now, and it dives deep into the 7 Universal Laws. It offers up a powerful 5-step process to manifest your desires. So let's get ready to explore this transformative power of aligning your energy and uncover some of those ancient manifestation secrets. I'm very excited. George, how are you?

Hey, Mart, I'm so excited to be here. Thank you so much for having me.

You're very welcome. Congratulations on the new book. I'm so excited to give it a read.

Thank you. I've just got it like the other day, and I'm just super grateful to have it. And I wanted to match my outfit today with like the, the sparkliness of the book, so here I am.

I absolutely love that. Um, so Manifestation Secrets, it draws on ancient Greek and Egyptian wisdom. Like, how did these ancient philosophies like inspire your approach to manifestation? What can we learn from them today?

Yeah. So basically, like most people, I find out about manifestation via the book and movie The Secret. And for many years I've been following the teachings of The Secret and many other spiritual teachers and manifestation teachers and experimented with different practices. And although I was really successful at manifesting, I always felt there was something missing. I kept hearing the law of attraction is the most powerful law in the universe. In fact, I wrote about that. I wrote that exact phrase in my first book, Be the Guru.. And then I'm like, but wait a minute, how about the law of gravity? You cannot fall upwards however hard you try to visualize about it. There must be more into this. So because I'm a Greek priest to Hellenic polytheism, meaning that I follow the teachings of the ancient Greeks and I'm a priest to that religion, I started researching the ancient texts and I realized that the first who really practiced manifestation were the ancients. And all the questions we've been asking, they already have the answers, but they're just hidden there in the ancient books, many of them in ancient Greek and Egyptian and etc. So I'm like, okay, I'm just going to dive deep and try and find out as much as I can about manifestation from the ancients. And that's when I discovered ancient Hermeticism, a philosophical school from the ancient times that bridges ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian knowledge. And I found this little book called the Kybalion that many people, I'm sure, know the Kybalion and the Seven Laws of the Universe, a very complicated book that summarizes the 7 laws of the universe. And then I started reading about Orphism, like the philosophical school of the ancient Greeks and different types of teachings. And I kept seeing the same laws being repeated and explained in different ways. And I'm like, hold on a second, the Kybalion summarizes ancient knowledge in such a potent way, but it doesn't teach you how to apply them, how to apply those laws. So what I did with Ancient Manifestation Secrets is I took those laws in the universe, explain them really simply, and then teach people a 5-step process of working with those laws to manifest their desires. And it's a very energetic kind of process. I teach people to plant desires in their energy field, connect them with different entities and people, and manifest in a more telepathic/intuitive and energetic way.

I love that. So you mentioned there about the 7 manifestation laws of the universe.. And you talk about this in your book as well. So could you just give us a quick overview of those laws and how they basically influence our ability to manifest?

Yes, let's do that. So you're familiar with the law of attraction, which the Kabbalah refers to as the law of vibration, which is one of the main laws of the universe, one of the seven. And it says that nothing rests, everything moves, everything vibrates. And therefore, when you match the vibration of frequency of something, you attract it into your life. Now let's talk about the other laws. We have the first law, the law of mentalism, stating that the all is mind, the universe is mental, and therefore we create through mental focus, and we can transmute our thoughts as well through a process of mental transmutation, and therefore heal limiting thoughts and limiting beliefs to raise our vibration. Then we have the second law, the law of correspondence, that says as above, so below, and therefore there are three planes of existence. The physical plane of existence we live in, the mental plane of existence where we find the elemental beings, for example, and the spiritual level of existence where we find the angels, ascended masters, etc. As above, so below. That means we can communicate with all of these planes of existence and receive help from these entities. Then we have the law of vibration that I've just talked about, slash law of attraction. Then we have the law of polarity. I love the law of polarity. It says that everything is dual, everything has poles. Everything has its pair of opposites. The law of attraction— many people— sorry, the Abraham Hicks that many people are familiar with, they say, oh, you're on the stick, you're on the stick of your desire, and on the, on the one end of the stick you have fear, and on the other end of the stick you have love. And wherever you are on the stick, you have access to the opposite. That is the law of polarity, in the sense that whatever we're feeling, whatever we're experiencing, we automatically have access to its opposite, whether it's something positive, whether it's something negative. And that gives us the ability to rise our vibration towards that. Then we have the fifth law, the law of rhythm, that works like in tandem with the law of polarity, that says that everything flows out and in, everything has its tides, all things rise and fall, in the sense that there is this pendulum of life and we go from positive to negative experiences. From manifesting something positive to manifesting something negative. But you can use a law of neutralization to neutralize the downward swing of the pendulum so that when you're about to experience something negative, you've strengthened your vibration so much that you don't experience that so negatively because you've learned to master your emotions. Then we have the 6th law, the law of cause and effect, that says that every cause has its effect. Every effect has its cause, meaning for every manifestation there have been a series of causes that created it. The Law of Attraction teaches that it is our vibrational frequency that manifests our reality. The Law of Cause and Effect says that is one of the causes. Our vibration is one of the causes. There are more causes. There are karmic contracts, karmic vows, ancestral contracts, karmic curses, collective intentionality, our life purpose, soul contracts, our soul purpose, so many things that come together to help us manifest our desires that we may not be familiar with. And then finally, the 7th law, the law of gender, that says gender is in everything. Everything has its masculine and feminine principles. Now beyond gender, the law of gender is about the process of regeneration, of creating something new, of gendering, giving birth to life. And to give birth to anything, to manifest everything, You need both energies, taking action but also receiving. Specifically, receiving first by connecting through our spiritual practice to the universe, receiving that guidance, and then taking action towards that. And this, the principle that I teach about in the book in a fun way, is that the universe is not our bitch. It's not just about just laying back, universe, thank you for providing. No, we have to show up for us, for the universe, to show up for us. So this is the summary of the 7 laws in like a minute.

That was such an abridged version, but it all made total sense. The only one that I haven't actually heard of before was the law of polarity, but the way you described it there, it was like, well, of course everything has its opposite, you know what I mean? It's like if you're in a, a bit of fear or anxiety or hate, the opposite of that is always going to be love, right? So to raise to the other end of the scale, you need to show that love and that appreciation. That gratitude. And that's what we're all about, isn't it? It's just, that is the one rule that I've thought, why have I never thought of this before? The Law of Polarity.

It's one of my favorite laws because it gives you so much empowerment. Because right now, so many people listening may be feeling down, they may be feeling depressed, they may be going through something tough. And just stepping back to realize, right now, in this negative situation I'm experiencing, I already have access, I'm on the same pole that will allow me to experience the exact opposite. And the most amazing thing, there is no end to these poles. There is no end to how happy or successful we can be, and there is no end at the same time to how low our vibration can be. But because we've been through so many different lives in the past and we have experienced a lot of heartache in the past, that means we already have access to our potential, to these endless, limitless expansion of the upward side of the pole that's all about joy and happiness and success.

So in Ancient Manifestation Secrets as well, you stress the importance of aligning our desires with our higher purpose. So I guess I have two questions on this. Like, one is, how can someone discover which of their desires align with that greater purpose? And the second part of that question is, do all desires manifest?

Great question. So I used to believe and say that we can manifest anything we want, and to a great degree I still believe that, but of course within limits. Okay, I mean, you cannot manifest flying, it goes against the law of biology. So there are laws that we cannot cross. So we need to be aware of like the laws of nature, and we can manifest anything within those laws. However, the point I'm making in the book is that it's way easier and wanted and needed to manifest desires that are aligned with our life purpose. Why? Because the God does not make mistakes. We came here for a very specific purpose. Each and every one of us has a very specific purpose. That's a kind of be expressed in different ways. And when we just manifest out of ego, let's say for example, we see something, oh, nice car, I want that car, and I'm gonna focus on this car and I'm just gonna manifest that car. Great. You can manifest that car, but is it aligned with your life purpose? Is that the priority? So what I do in the book, I guide people through a process, both a cognitive, cognitive and energetic process to identify exactly what their purpose is. And once we've defined that, then we go into the process of coming up with desires that are aligned with that life purpose. Now, how do we know if our desires are aligned with our life purpose? The number one thing is have a spiritual practice. That's why I start the book with teaching people how to craft their high vibe lifestyle, not just a meditation to raising the vibration, but adjusting our relationships, our homes, our eating habits, our workout habits to ensuring that all of our lives are supporting our vibration. Our lifestyle is supporting our vibration. And when we do that and we keep our vibration high and connected, to our source, we're automatically aligned with our life purpose. And therefore, the desires that come forth as a result of this state of connectedness must be aligned with that life purpose as well. But if we're feeling low and we're feeling disconnected, and instead of like doing the work to align our energy, we're like, oh, I'm gonna manifest this car, I'm gonna manifest that cruise, and out of this feeling of disconnectedness, then likely that desire may not be aligned to our life purpose. So let's be more pragmatic with it and also more— have more intention with our manifestation rather than just manifest anything.

I was going to say, when something is truly aligned with your life purpose, you do feel that intention. And I think the emotion comes from, you know, the heart chakra. So you start to feel all these different associated emotions like excitement and joy and happiness, and that's just going to power up that manifestation practice, isn't it?

Yes, it's easy when something is aligned with your life purpose. It's so much easier to manifest because our whole being screams, yes, go for it! Or when we, when we figure out desires that are aligned with a life purpose, literally our angels, our spirit guides, they're having a party, they're throwing a party. Finally, he or she's found their desire. Like, she's— they're, they're taking like action towards that. So the whole universe is conspiring inspiring to support us, but we need to tune in and realizing— and you're absolutely right— when we reached a desire and found a desire that is aligned to our life purpose, it feels good. We feel excited. There is this sense of expansiveness. Our whole being screams yes to it.

I love that. So what is the 5-step method that you have created for manifesting our desires? Like, how does it differ from other manifestation techniques?

Yeah, so the main technique people use is ask, believe, receive from The Secret. And many teachers teach different manifestation processes. I believe they all work. I love processes. Like, give me a step-by-step process, I'm a happy guy. Okay. And I believe that when we choose a process and focus on that process only, we're going to get results. The problem is when people combine different processes. So I just propose a new process that I advise people to either choose this one and focus on it and then move on to something else, or don't— basically not combine processes, because that's when things get confusing. Okay, so let me explain my 5-step process and the reason I have those specific steps. Step number 1 is raise your vibration. The reason this is first— for with most processes it's last, but the reason for me it's first, it's because we need to first raise our vibration to the frequency of source, to to the frequency of our life purpose, our authentic self, so that we can find our life purpose and the desires connected to it. So we need to be aligned to do that. And therefore we start by raising our vibration and therefore aligning with our authenticity. Step number 2 is clarify your desires. It's the ask step essentially, but it comes after raising your vibration. Why then? Because you've raised your vibration, you're aligned to who you are, now you can channel your purpose and your desires. And I guide people through a practice of clarifying their desires. So step number 3: release your limiting beliefs. I'm a huge supporter in releasing our limiting beliefs and not suppressing our negative thoughts and emotions. I believe our limiting beliefs, emotions, and thoughts don't hinder our— the manifestation of our desires. They're there to support them and help them manifest faster. Why? Because our limiting beliefs and emotions, when they show up, when they are there, they are there. They won't go away until we've paid them attention. We've acknowledged them and we've processed them. So many spiritual teachers and many manifestation techniques only focus on the positive, like, okay, ignore the negatives and focus on the positives. And that can work if our limiting thoughts are not as strong. But for people who experience trauma, for example, or conditioning from our past lives, from our childhood, from my parents, from the school system, and those limiting beliefs and conditioning is so deep-seated into our consciousness, it won't just go away. It will be hindering our manifestation and all our efforts towards focusing on the positive. So ignoring it won't go away. We have to process it. So what I do in the third part of the process is I provide both energetic and cognitive practices to help people process and transmute limiting emotions and beliefs. Specifically, I teach eye movement therapy. It's a specific technique called Integral Eye Movement Therapy that draws from EMDR, which is a technique used to treat trauma, for example. And we work with these eye movement— like, we move your eyes in a specific way. And by doing that, while focusing on certain limiting thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, you process them, transmute them, you change how you think about them, and therefore you release them. And when you release them, you're able to raise your vibration even more so that you can manifest your desires faster. And then we move into step number 4, nurture the energy of your desires. This is the woo-woo part of the book where I teach people to plant the orbs of their desires into their energy field, into different chakras, Nurture the energy, have a relationship with the essence, the consciousness of these desires. Connect them with people, with entities, with organizations, with companies that can help bring that, that, that manifestation into life, essentially, so that we collaborate with others and with the universe to manifest our desires. And then step number 5, take inspired action. It is all about Creating balance in masculine and feminine energy, not just energetically. I teach people to plan their, their year, their months, their weeks, and their days so that they're balanced in action-taking and receiving. So we have equal amounts of, I'm receiving guidance right now, and then an equal amount of, now I'm taking action towards my life purpose and not over-depending on the universe for support.

I guess the one that I resonated most with there, George, was what you mentioned there about step 3 with the limiting beliefs. Because cognitive and emotional blocks, I often thought, you know, they do hinder my manifestation efforts, and I have so many. And you know, when someone says it's just as easy to manifest £1 as it is to manifest £1 million, it's just the limiting beliefs that we hold on ourselves. But what you said there was really profound, that, you know, these limiting beliefs can actually help us as well. So what are some of the practical steps that you recommend for releasing those limiting beliefs and working through them? Because I know you mentioned about like the eye movement, the EMDR, that kind of thing. What are some of the practical steps that my listeners can do for, you know, working through and processing those limiting beliefs that are, that are holding them back from getting their manifestation?

Yeah, well, let's talk about that because I love EMDR. I use it to heal so many of my traumas. And as a result, I trained in that technique and I got permission from the creator to include it in the book. So I'm so excited for people to experience its magic. So let's say, for example, everybody listening or watching right now, I want you to identify something you're feeling, a negative emotion you're feeling. Don't go like too strong of a negative emotion, like a mildly negative emotion. You may be feeling like stressed out, for example, or anxious. Okay. And let's go with the emotion of anxiety. I feel anxious. I want you to ask yourself, how strong is that anxiety from 1 to 10? And it may be a 7, for example. It's 7 out of 10 anxiety. Great. Now, where is that anxiety in your body? And then try to identify where that anxiety feels like being in your body and identify it. Maybe in a chakra or somewhere else. And when you think about that anxiety in that specific side of your body, what is the first memory you remember, the first time you remember feeling that specific emotion? And when you ask yourself that question, you likely go back to one of the first memories that you felt that specific emotion. Be like, ooh, I remember I was like 10 years old and my mom scolded me for doing something and I was feeling anxious because I disappointed her. So what are we doing here? We're identifying the emotion, how we're feeling. We cannot escape it. We are feeling it. Okay. We're identifying where it is in our body, and then we're asking ourselves, when was the first time you remember feeling that emotion? And the body keeps the score. It's a very popular book about trauma. So the body remembers, and it takes us back to 10 years old when you felt that, and you have a specific memory now. And that specific memory, it's an imprint. It's that memory that create— that first created that emotion and then trained you to keep on feeling that emotion whenever something similar happens. So let's say, for example, you've asked yourself these questions and you've identified that specific memory. While thinking about that memory as vividly as you can, start moving your eyes side to side. And it's really important your head is not moving and you're only moving your eyes side to side. And then start moving your eyes diagonally. Again, not moving your head, just moving your eyes. And then switch to the other diagonal. And while you're doing that, keep thinking about that specific memory as vividly as you can. And once you've done that for around 15 to 30 seconds, close your eyes, take a deep breath in, relax your body with the exhale, take another deep breath in, and With the exhale, let go 10 times more. Open your eyes. Now ask yourself, how does that memory feel right now? And what you'll discover is you probably don't even have an emotional attachment to that memory. That memory may feel blurry, you may feel far away from it, or you may have a different perspective of that memory. And then ask yourself, how strong is that emotion now from 1 to 10? And you may find probably that from 7 it went down to a 5 or a 6 or a 3. And if it goes from 4 under— if it goes under 4 and therefore 3 downwards, that means you've processed that emotion successfully and you can move on. So that is the simple way that you deal with negative emotions. And in the book, I go into detail as to what questions to ask, how to take yourself through that safely, contraindications as well for people who cannot use that specific practice, and also how to work with limiting beliefs. Because now we've worked with emotions, there is a whole eye— another eye movement pattern that you can use to treat limiting beliefs.

I'm excited to learn about this because this sounds quite fascinating. It's something that we can pretty much all of us do in the safety and comfort of our own homes. We don't need any expensive equipment or anything like that. It's just something that we can the majority of us can do naturally. So yeah, I'm very fascinated about that. I'm very excited to learn more.

There's a lot of research about how the eye movements help. That's why EMDR, which is something that IMT is like related with, um, is suggested as one of the top recommended practices for treating PTSD.

Yeah, that's fascinating. So your book as well, it also includes, if I'm right, a 10-day manifestation challenge. Can you tell us a bit more about how that challenge works and what readers of the book can expect to achieve from that? What is the ultimate goal? Yes.

So I love, as I said, processes. I love— I'm very practical in the way that I teach, even with like my spiritual concepts and energy healing and planting your desires. I'm like step by step by step by step. So what I've done at the end of the book, I'm like, okay, these are a lot of processes. It's a lot of content. How can I help people like really get results fast? So the third part of the book, it's a manifestation challenge, 10 days. So I take people through the process of choosing a specific desire to manifest in 10 days, and I give guidance on choosing that correct desire. And I'm going to give those guidelines now because I think it's helpful anyway for everybody when it comes to choosing desires, especially in the beginning. Choose desires that are difficult to manifest but not impossible to manifest. So you need to find that sweet spot of, ooh, that's quite a stretch, but it's possible. Don't choose something huge immediately. Don't just say, oh, I wanna manifest a million pounds in 10 days. Like, be realistic. Yeah. And choose like a hundred pounds or like a thousand pounds, which is a stretch, but it's possible that something can happen. And that's so that you can boost your self-esteem and get that— those quick wins in the beginning to keep the momentum going, to get— help you get trusting the process so you can move on and manifest even bigger things. Go for the millions afterwards. So we start with that, and then every single day it's one of the processes from the book, and I refer to like, go to this page, do this process, and then answer those questions to complete the challenge. And then what I do in the end, I have like a manifestation challenge review, because some people may manifest their desire in 10 days, some not, but it doesn't mean the process failed. Yeah, let's identify: have I manifested similar things? Have I manifested seeing people have my desire? Have I manifested more ideas that got me closer to that desire? Because that's also a manifestation. So it's important to not like shoot ourselves in the foot and say, oh, this failed. No, it did not. You got way closer. You just need to keep on going because it's a never-ending process. Spirituality and manifestation is not like a university degree. You get it, tick, you've ticked the box. No, you need to keep working on it.

That's a really good analogy as well because it isn't just a one-time process. It's something that we're going to have to go back and revisit, even in terms of limiting beliefs, isn't it? It's never as though we're going to be 100% cured in inverted commas because these limiting beliefs are going to keep on coming back. Um, and it's just something that we're going to have to keep on working at. You're not just going to get that little certificate with a tick to say, yeah, professional manifestor, there you go, you can have whatever you want in life from now on, everything's going to come immediately. It doesn't work like that.

Yeah.

So when it comes to, you know, your aura and your chakras, like, how do we leverage that energy field in the manifestation process? Kind of how does working with that energetic field influence the outcome of manifestation? How can people start aligning their energy for success?

So here it is, when it comes to any desire, so think of desires as orbs of light that have consciousness. They're like friends and people you meet, and those desires, they're like ideas, and they're circling around the planet and they're searching for compatible hosts. So when a desire comes to you as an idea, the desire chose you as a host. Like, ooh, yeah, great host. I can be manifested. I can come to life through this person. So that desire comes through our crown chakra at the top of the head as an idea.

Okay.

And then if we welcome it in, it's going to go down to the third eye chakra where we're going to start receiving intuitive guidance. Hmm, maybe I can do this with that idea and I can do that with that idea.. And then that idea gets metabolized, like, good, he's giving me attention. Let's move on. So the idea moves down into the throat chakra where we express it to ourselves, to other people. We write down about it. We script about our idea. I'm like, oh my, I'm doing this and I'm manifesting this. And we're talking to my— to our friends about it. I'm like, I'm manifesting these. We're doing our morning practice. And then that idea gets even more excited. Like, oh my God, he's talking about me. Like, I feel like, like I'm blushing right now. So the desire moves down into the heart chakra and they're like, ah, loving the desire, loving everything that I can create with this desire. Here are all the positive changes that I'm gonna create in my life and in people's lives because of this desire manifesting. The desire is like head over heels in love with us. Then it gets metabolized and moves down to the solar plexus chakra where we have our confidence. I can do it. I'm gonna put in the work. I'm gonna take action. I'm gonna take this idea because I believe in it and I'm gonna bring it into the world. It's that energy of like confidence and personality that comes in to carry that desire. Then the desire moves down into the sacral chakra, the womb of creation, where it's generated, where we are gathering up the resources. I know you have this event coming up, so you're in the generating process right now in the, in the sacral chakra, where you're just gathering people together and ensuring that everything will work out. And when the day comes, it's all gonna come out into the world, it's gonna be a success. Process. That desire here is like having orgasms, literally. It's like, I'm being created, I'm being created. It's like in the crystal, it's being transformed into a butterfly from a caterpillar. And then the desire moves down into the root chakra where it finally comes out into the world and is like, yay, here I am. And then the desire gives birth to new desires, and then it goes through the entire process. So this is just the cycle of the desire through our chakras. And what I do in the book, apart from explaining that, I help people do this process and leverage this process and guide this process faster rather than just let it happen by itself. We can take— we can like drive the wheel and lead that process onwards by planting desires there, cleansing our energy field, cleansing our chakras, connecting our desires with different people and allowing this process to take place even more effortlessly than it would have.

I've never heard anyone actually connect the manifestation cycle to the chakras, so I find that really interesting as well. And it does make sense that, you know, it comes in at the crown, it works its way right down to the root. That's a fascinating concept. I've never even thought of it like that. So thank you for sharing that, George.

And it's also the auric layers, because let's remember that we have 7 chakras 7 main chakras and 7 main auric layers. So everything that happens in their auric layers, they are connected to the chakras and vice versa. So sometimes you can see desire moving through, moving through the auric layers rather than the chakras, but it's the same thing because they're interconnected.

It makes total sense. It really, really does. What has been one of the biggest challenges in manifesting something in your personal life? Like, how did you overcome that using the principles from your book? Has there been anything that you've struggled with manifesting in the past?

Yes, the manifestation of this book. And let me tell you, because it's a fascinating story of how I, I faced an issue, a problem, and then I used the practices in the book to manifest the book. So meta. So what happened was in 2021, I went to Delphi in Greece, and the idea was I'm going to spend 10 days there to channel the book and write the book. Part of it was research-based and the other part was channeled. So I go there, 10 days, write the book, felt so excited about it. I pitch to my publisher at the time, and my publisher is like, mm-mm, it's too advanced. People are not ready for this. Let's first publish a book about the Greek gods and goddesses because that's your culture, and then we can publish a manifestation book. So whereas I was disappointed, I'm like, great, I'm gonna get to write about the Greek gods and goddesses. So I wrote my previous book Secrets of Greek Mysticism that came out this year in April. So that book came out all about working with the Greek gods and goddesses, again being connected to the ancients. But I'm like, you know what, I'm not gonna let a publisher dictate when I can publish my book or not. I'm just gonna find a different publisher for Ancient Manifestation Secrets. Easier said than done. And that was my issue. So the problem was My publisher thought my book was too advanced and didn't want to publish it and wanted me to write something different that was more accessible for people and easier to promote. So what I did, I used the practices in the book. I planted the energy of the book, the manifestation of the book, in my energy field. And every single day I would send energetic scouts, energetic cords outside of this cord, connecting it to different publishers, to different entities, to different organizations and companies. Charging the energy of the orb that is the desire of this book with like rainbow light, cleansing it with the violet flame, and using all these different frequencies to like maintain it. Because I know that desires have consciousness, that that book chose me as its host. I'm like, I gotta keep it attention. I'm not gonna like abandon my own book. So the desire is there, nurturing, nurturing, nurturing. And then I kept going back and forth with Finnhorn Press, who eventually published the book. And we just couldn't communicate with the editor. Like, she was interested in the book, but then she was busy, then I was busy, and we couldn't meet. And then I wake up one morning and I get this hit. I'm like, email her right now. So, and I go to the computer as like guided by source, like my body was moving me, this spirit was moving me. I go there, I type, I'm like, hey Sabine, do you wanna like chat about the book? And she's like, can you get on Zoom in 10 minutes? So in 10 minutes, we get on Zoom, we talk about the book, she loves the book, she says, she says, yes, let's go forward. And then within an hour, she sent me the contract.

That's amazing.

So it happens so instantly, which is a question of, and the point of timing here. Sometimes there are things happening under the surface we're not aware of, but they're happening and you have to wait for the right timing, and when the right timing comes, it's instant. But for the right timing to come, we need to engage and nurture the energy of that desire. Otherwise, it's going to move on to a different host.

The fact that you had that little intuitive nudge as well to email her at that exact divine time, it's like, it's, it's like kind of like what something what you said earlier, like about not just lying back and taking that positive action not just lying back and thinking, yeah, universe, crack on, you do this. So how do we find that balance between taking action to manifest our desires and also sitting back and letting the universe actually support us? Because it is a very fine line, isn't it?

Yes, yes, yes. It's like, it's the eternal question: how do I know if my guidance is intuitive guidance or if it's ego guidance? So when it's intuitive guidance, first of all, there's a time— there's a timing component. It comes fast. It's the first thought. So I always say it's an easy way to remember it. Intuitive guidance comes first and ego comes next. Okay? So firstly, you're gonna get an impulse, do this, and then the ego will come right after, say, oh, wait a minute, what if this is not the right way to go? So it's paying attention to the timing. Second thing, intuitive guidance feels expansive. It feels good. It feels like your whole body growing. It feels like so exciting. Whereas ego guidance feels constructive. It— and, and you go within and it feels bad and it feels, um, like almost depressive sometimes, and something's holding you back. And thirdly, when it's intuitive guidance, you don't ask questions. You just take action. When it's divine guidance, intuitive guidance, you're not gonna stop and say, oh, should I do this? Should I not? You're not gonna go get a psychic reading. You're not gonna ask your friends. You've already followed it. You've already done it because it felt so certain that you didn't have a choice but take action towards it. So these are the 3 rules of thumb that I use to figuring out if it's divine guidance and if not. So in that moment, I'm like, The idea came to mind and then the ego came, oh, but you emailed her last week. So I'm like, I'm gonna go with the first. Then I felt this sense of expansive and like, like urge. I'm like, okay, I'm taking action. And then thirdly, I'm like, I don't have time to think, I'm already writing the email right now because it feels like a hell yes. Does that make sense?

Yeah, of course. Did you know that's the fourth time I've heard this week that intuitive feelings feel expansive and fear feels constricting, and that's how you differentiate between the two. And I think that's something that I need to take in. I feel like I've heard that message 4 times in the last week because it's someone trying to tell me, you know, to take notice of that.

Yeah, it's a manifestation for you right now.

It is, it really is. So thank you for delivering that message for me, George. Um, I think many people as well struggle with a bit of impatience or doubt during the manifestation journey. So if they don't get it within a month, they think, oh, it's just not meant for me, it doesn't work, it's not happening. So what advice do you have for, you know, just staying on track, staying patient, and trusting the process?

Yes, it's realizing what the law of cause and effect says, that for every effect there are many causes.. And you may be doing everything by the book when it comes to your spiritual practice, your affirmations, scripting, vision boards, raising your vibration, thinking about your desire every single day. You're doing it right. You're doing nothing wrong. And you're asking yourself, why is it not here yet? Because there are causes that you're not aware of, and maybe you're not meant to be aware of, but they are there. Timing is one cause. Karmic contract is another cause. Soul purpose and soul contracts, your ancestor, ancestral conditioning, the collective purpose that we have. Like, we all manifested COVID together. Nobody managed to manifest themselves outside of the world with COVID Here we are. We've experienced it together. So there are so many other causes. So because I get so impatient, like, I want to manifest things yesterday. I, I get it. So I've learned to not doubt the process and just realize at the same time I have this model that I learned from Kris Jenner. Love it. And it says, if someone says no, you're talking to the wrong person. Again, it's a realization that no, it's not a no, no, it means like, let's move on to the next one. Let's not give up. Let's realize that there are other things happening and the universe, has a better plan for us. Again, all what I'm saying is easy to hear, but it's difficult to understand and really accept emotionally. But the, the more we hear it and the more we understand it and console ourselves, the more we can overcome that doubt and keep focused on our desires.

Amazing. So for listeners who are new to manifestation or they are struggling with their current practice, and they're struggling to get into that trust state, what is the most important first step that they can take today to start manifesting consciously? Would it be starting at step 1 by raising your vibration, or is there something else that they could be doing?

So I would suggest, of course, step number 1 is the ideal step to start with, but for someone just starting out, I would start with clarifying what your life purpose is. Because unless you know exactly what your life purpose is, that any desire you have may take you in so many different directions. You may choose a desire that's not aligned with your life purpose, try the manifestation process, fail, be disappointed, and give the whole thing up. But when you find out what your life purpose is and clarify it and come up with desires aligned with it, it's gonna be so easier to manifest those desires, which will shore up your trust in manifestation. And just a— I know I'm talking about finding your life purpose, but without teaching how. I mean, in the book I share the process, but I want to share like a snippet of the process because I think it's important. Think about what you wanted to be when you were a kid, when you grow up, and also what you were interested in as a kid, your hobbies. And it's not that you're supposed to do that, but that gives you clues as to what your life purpose is. Because when we're kids, we, especially in the, like, up to like 10 years old, even before, we've yet to be indoctrinated by all the conditioning, the limiting beliefs of this society and our parents. And therefore we are, we have a pure connection to source and to our purpose. So we know, we remember. So we're, we're guided automatically to people, to hobbies, to things that are aligned with that. When I remember myself, I loved singing and performing. I loved talking to flowers and finding answers from nature about reality. That was one of those weird kids. Like, kids played like in the playground. I was like, what is the purpose of life? And staring at the sky. Okay, so connecting that to my present lifetime, I'm an actor and singer aside from being a spiritual teacher, and I, I I write about life's questions, right? And then I write books about like answer them, or at least pretend or try to answer life's big questions. My point is the experiences in our childhood hold clues, important clues to our life purpose. And that's a way to like gauge essentially, am I moving towards the right direction? Is my inner child excited?

Yeah.

With what I'm doing right now.

I love that because when, as you were talking, I was thinking the one thing I always wanted to be growing up was a vet or a doctor. And when I sharp realized when I got to my early teens that I would have to either put animals down or see blood or perform operations, I thought, I can't do that, do you know what I mean? So I just went down a totally different route. I did still end up in the National Health Service in the UK, um, but I kind of went down a mental health route. So From that, I'm taking that my purpose in life is to help others and to help other people, you know what I mean? And it's to give them that energy. And even, yes, even animals, not just people.

Yes, Mart Tweedy, in Atlantis and Lemuria, in the ancient times, you would have been a doctor because you're a crystal healer.

Yeah, yeah, that's it.

Because you're using crystals and crystal prescriptions, like, to help people and animals. Like, that's so aligned to your purpose.

Yeah, I really think it is. Thank you for awakening that in me, George. Thank you. So George, where can people find you? What have you got coming up next? 'Cause I know obviously you've just released this book, which is going to do absolutely amazing. What's next for you?

I'm constantly on like on the next project. I love creating. I'm right now researching the next book and creating a card deck as well that I'm so excited about.

Oh, wow.

And yeah, I'm so excited. My first card deck.. And, um, people can find out about the book when you go to ancientmanifestationsecrets.com. When you get the book, you also get a free workshop with me, which is a 1-hour past life regression where I will take you to your past lives to identify manifestation skills you've mastered in the past life and then retrieve them into your present lifetime and therefore speeding up your manifestation journey even more. And of course you can find me online at George Lizos on Instagram and my website georgelizos.com.

Thank you so much. I'm excited for that past life regression meditation. I need me some of that.

I'm obsessed with past lives, and I figured out a way to retrieve skills, and I'm like, let's go in there.

I'm doing that as soon as we come off this call. George, thank you so much for joining me today, and I hope that you lot have all loved listening in to George. I will pop the link to his new book, Ancient Manifestation Secrets, in the show notes, as well as all of his social links and his websites. In there as well.
