A discussion of manifestation aspects.
Manifestation is a huge and hot topic. Is it about creating your reality? Or perhaps recognizing your abundance? Or that life, i.e., you are a drop of water drowning in an ocean of abundance, while you are napping.
Starting at the End
We usually think that evidence follows. That manifestation is evidence or a display of our abilities… whatever they are. Evidence is the perspective of retrospectively putting the pieces together. We have an experience and then we wonder why it happened, what was the purpose, timing and meaning or significance.
In the manifestation world, it is often thought to be the other way around. Which is first we imagine and think. Then we feel as if it is already present. And then we act or behave as it already has happened.
A portal into this rabbit hole can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_priori_and_a_posteriori#:. To my wee brain, it is a circular argument. It just depends on where one wants to start; at the end or beginning… lol. With a circle, is there an end or beginning?
The following are three personal experiences to which I will begin from the retrospective perspective of the end.
First is Peace Pilgrim, a woman who was a modern American mystic. I had the good fortune of having met her three times. Once as a small child, which I don’t remember. Second as a kid and third as a teenager. Most impressive was her being. She was like a bird, singularly focused on spreading her song of peace. Not being concerned about yesterday nor tomorrow, where she was, what she had, etc. Only attending to what was happening in the moment. Simply, she existed in a state of “grace” intensely and directly aware of the moment. My experience of her presence has been singularly unique and has been a lifelong influence… of how in hell does a person attain, live and exist in that matter?
The second were experiences out traveling alone, with little of any expectations, needs, goals or purpose except to wander, see and experience what was out there. It was some of the most wonderful experiences of being free and learning to accept and be with whatever happens in life. Again retrospectively, being highly significant in my life. For example, randomly chatting with the Billy Graham, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Graham) having no clue who he was until a few moments after he had left. And another being magnetically drawn to a random young woman who inspired a 180-degree change of life’s direction. Basically, it was meeting folks and experiences as initiations to new ways and energy of being.
Third, recently the kitchen lights had been needing some attention for quite some time and began acting up. Thus, deciding today was the time. I went to a nearby building salvage place. Quickly found a perfect fixture, a few minutes more to find a the perfect mounting hardware and then new 500 lumen LED bulbs. All for about 1/20th of retail pricing… score! Forty-five minutes to switch out the old fixture and mount the new one… near instant manifestation. The point is, many of these types of experiences the only requirement is to just show up.
These examples represent merely being aware. Lee Carrol of “Kryon” notes starting with something simple like working with the parking fairies. That is knowing, which is beyond intuition, faith, and belief that something (often grander that you can imagine) will show up at the right time, right place and for your benefit. That something is you!
Blessings Happen!
What are the common themes of manifestation? These are just some concepts for your consideration. Manifestation is popularly thought of as desire or need, putting forth effort of some sorts and it magically appears. It is like rubbing the magic lantern. The genie emerges and grants three wishes. Rubbing the magic lantern implies you recognize or are aware of the need or desire. The genie emerging formally acknowledges the wish. The problem or difficulty is the selection of the wish you want to manifest. However, there is also the underlying problem, that by the wish, you also determine that you are in lack. So how are you to manifest something that you, by definition, readily acknowledge you don’t have?
Of course, the recent concept is that it already exists (manifested). But it is a matter of finding or recognizing it. The issue is discovering the manifestation. So how does a person discover the manifestation? A bit of clarification. Manifestation is both a noun and a verb. The concept of “name it to claim it is the noun. A process of defining and feeling into it. In psychology, therapy, and meditation it is becoming aware, defining and recognizing and active process (the verb form). It is difficult to know something if you cannot feel, define, and see it. This is the common “beginner’s problem,” which is a lack of knowing, i.e., experience and knowledge. And the “verb” is gaining knowledge; experience. The experience of gaining awareness of the delicate nuances and processes of experiencing. Which is becoming, being and to be that what you wish for. This is the secret transformation. It is the manifestation of you. First, you need to show up to claim your prize, and it is yours. Second is the idea of a “blessing in disguise.” An appearance which conceals the identity or its true nature. These blessings are a tad more work. They are often as lessons “for” you. Which require you to show up, wrestle and squeeze the juice from them. And then the drinking of the juice. This is the nectar of the divinities, i.e., gods/goddesses. This is simply the god/goddess showing up to enjoy the nectar.
Synchronicity
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity
We often view synchronicity in a matter of temporal proximity. Meaning if two separate things occur about or near the same time, we attach significant meaning or relationship. From a superstitious perspective, we are at risk of develop ritualistic behaviors; sometimes bordering on obsessive-compulsive behaviors. From a scientific perspective, we investigate theories, looking for correlations and occasionally determine it is a unicorn of causality. And in sales and marketing it is about creating the “sizzle.” The sizzle is the connecting relationship of the product or service to often an “imagined” (fantasy/illusionary) result. Yet on rare occasion there is an actual result… just to keep the gambling addiction going. This is a matter of expectation, set and setting, timing, correlation, casual (repeatable) or magical dreaming. Synchronicity is meaningful, but there is a lot of psychological, meditative, and metaphysical mumbo jumbo or manipulation that is or can be involved. But again, it all depends on you and your experience.
Timing
Timing is about the when, where and why. It is an insertion of a relationship (casual, corelative, temporal, magical, etc.) in time. History and time are highly malleable via the perspective or contextual views and by the standard of measurement; the standard being fairly arbitrary (i.e., subjective as to the experience of the observer). We often think it is merely about the when and how? But the who/whom, the how and their “why” this is happening now to them is quite significant to them understanding their reality. For example, a person with the condition of paranoid schizophrenia versus a person who is CEO of a Fortune 100 company.
Synchronicity is often thought of in a retrospective sense, i.e., by reviewing the result (evidence) and attaching a meaningful relationship. Yet it can also be prospective. That is expected or expecting something particular in the future, i.e., likely to happen in the future; often concerning the near future (temporal proximity). But the real trick is recognizing synchronicity in the present “now.” How does this happen? By being of three minds. What the hell Timmy?
Three Minds
Ok, you have the experience of the past. And thus, having had experiences of relationships of significant meaning (perhaps superstitions). And with having a significant number of these prior or historical relationships, a person has at least some belief, hope, or delusions that something might happen again. It is simply the metaphor or perspective of a gambling addiction… or a matter of faith and belief. This is simply a subjective juxtaposition of loss versus gain. Do you feel like a sweepstakes winner… or loser? Lol.
Getting back to the three minds. One mind is of a winner, another is of a loser. Either, it doesn’t matter, because they are both subjective. The third mind is that of an observer. An observer avoids the trap of evaluation or judgement. Instead, being an observer, then can notice the workings, the coming and goings, pattern recognition and then choose the result, i.e., observed as synchronicity. Again this is a matter of showing up… as an observer, creator, or sweepstakes winner (or not). The heaven or hell is that it is your choice.
Commonalities
A way to think about commonalities is it is a harmony or interplay of the following.
- You got to show up, (hopefully aware instead of being unschooled or ignorant).
- Intuition
- Synchronicity
- Openness
- Gratitude and grace
Intuition
Intuition is about first knowing “who am I?” Knowing who you are, you are able to feel into your purpose and meaning of your existence. Knowing this, sets your spectrum or range of what you notice. And helps to scan or be situationally aware (a very easy skill to learn). Enabling you to more easily pick out or sense opportunities that align to your being. You know what you are looking for. Therefore, seeing an opportunity, you can “easily feeling into” the appropriateness (why) and if it aligns. Seeing an opportunity and feeling into it has an element of timing. The timing is because all things flow. Opportunities do not last forever. Choose or choose not, but choose you must. The why is seeing, feeling, and choosing in time.

Openness
Openness is not about looking for. But being receptive to and surrendering into each single endless moment of now. It is the flow state. Being in flow, is not losing self-awareness but opening up to an expanded awareness or experience. Most experience is in relation to time and space. Yet there are at least there are three different notions of the perception of time and space. Time and space can disappear or ceases to exist. Time may also open-up and slow down. In that you notice the granular or minute details of an experience… like being in a slow-moving car crash. Yet if a person recognizes slow moving subjective experience, one can become slippery like Neo in the Matrix movie.
Last is when time disappears and then reappears, the perception is that time suddenly speeds up. Which is like the notion of time compressing or collapsing or a section of time drops out. It is the idea of a switch in the perspective of time and space. It is changing from linear, sequential, or chronological order to that of looking through a telescope. If we are looking at the sun, what we see is the sun is 8 minutes ago; a time lag of 8 minutes as measured by the speed of light. However, if we use a different measuring stick (perspective), such as “entanglement,” then in theory, there no time lag/latency between two entangled objects which might be on the other side of the galaxy and be 100 light years between them. In short this is a relationship issue, specifically an “entangled” relationship. Otherwise known via studies in twins, mother and child, and other closely bonded/entangled relationships. Perhaps via wormholes, string theory, nanotubes and psychic intuition/communication, etc. In a sense it is not strictly about distance, but of relational dimensions, such as resonance and frequency. Link to time is highly malleable***
The concept of “being open” is the opportunity to notice what appears in the intuitive field. And not to be concerned about the details of how and why this happens. The main issue is of accessing, discerning or attuning to the frequency and entering and the alignment with field or flow of energy. Perhaps the initial step is simply being able to abide in the gap. Which is with equanimity; to abide and notice the opportunities that emerge. Then choose the opportunity that aligns and flows. This is nothing new, any seasoned expert, whether a musician, diagnostician, athlete, etc. notes the experience of instantly knowing what is happening, knowing what to do and subtly just execute. In fact, they are not consciously aware. Often described as they have disappeared and “the music plays the band.” And only in retrospect or reflection of the experience do they realize what just happened. In a sense they operate or execute in an “a priori” state or condition. Is this intuition or something similar of being in the future? Or is it projecting into to the future? Or perhaps creating, defining or manipulating the reality of the future?
Is opening a process and progression… or a being? We usually think it is an opening, the gap, or womb where something comes into being. There is the process letting go of expectations, trusting and handing it over, i.e., surrendering. Surrendering is the progression of accepting and trusting whatever emerges is “for” the benefit of you, me, and us, or the whole (experience). We often think of this as the progression or position of being an ignorant sinner/student of not knowing. Followed by the dawning the desire to know, and then opening, or surrendering. Then the teacher will appear. And the lessons, i.e., the trials and tribulations which are of great benefit. But are you done? Of course not, it is only the beginning…lol. Last, the redemption or demonstration of the understanding of lessons given. This is simply the pattern/design of learning, the biblical redemption or of karmic propensities.
Coming Back From the Dead
Lessons are like portals or initiations which open. We go through, experience, and thus gain knowledge. However, we must come back… why? For two reasons, first is, if we do not come back, we will continue to wander in the heavens and hells. Being lost and experiencing all matter of horror and bliss. Second is to bring back and share the life-sustaining nectar or honey. It is the metaphor of the honeybee or bodhisattva. The bee flies out, collects pollen, meanwhile also cross pollinating novel forms of existence. And coming back to the hive (life reality) carrying the essentials for making honey, the nectar of life, i.e., love. Sharing what has been gathered from the adventurous forays.
Grace and Exchange
Sharing nectar is grace. A bestowing or blessing. A simple elegance of freely given kindness. The sharing of nectar is a relationship. Giving without expectation of return. But with the underlying ethos of flow, i.e., passing it forward. The understanding and abiding in the flow is the transformation, the ascension, and/or the creation. The metaphor of flowing like honey; thick, slow, and abundantly sticky is the exchange. A taste of honey is an overwhelming experience, a little goes a long way. If one has never tasted honey, the taste of honey is an initiation and revelatory experience that is not soon forgotten. One may develop an appreciation, not only to savor it but to share it. To be a connoisseur appreciating subtleties, learning the skills to transform the nectar into life giving sustenance. This is beyond merely being an alchemist for yourself, your tribe, etc. But freely sharing according to where on the path a student is in their progression; do they need to see one, do one, teach one or be one? Consciousness is the transformer of energy into reality. Note: As we enter the age of consciousness consider exploring other posts in this blog which discuss different aspects of consciousness.
When we discover and find love it is a matter of the conscious feeling of the experience. We can love, i.e., sharing and flowing the nectar or honey as noted in spiritual references. Or noted in emerging contemporary terms as plasma or crystalline liquid light. On-the-other-hand, if we get nectar and don’t share… what happens? What is the use of that? By sharing, flowing and being the nectar is where the velocity of transformation or ascension happens in the blink of an eye. We no longer need to pass through the eye of the needle because we are the I.
Three Sides of Love
- Love is being. It is opening, surrendering and blessing (sharing). Grabbing on to each endless moment of sharing as the opportunity of flow.
- Love is dipping into the honey pot and sharing, i.e., flowing
- Love is letting go, sharing, and giving. Knowing that giving is not losing but transforming.
The secret is to just show up. Despite not knowing what will happen, it is having the audacity to jump into the gap. Something will happen… lol. Remember, it does not matter what happens… what matters is how you show up and respond to what happens.
Folks, after the determination of “who am I.” It is about your why, i.e., what is your passion, your love and joy. What is your love? I.e., what is your purpose, and feel into it. And be it. It is your existence.
Your power depends primarily on who you are and making the choice to be. That is showing up to meet yourself. I.e., being open to meeting yourself. When we recognize this is the journey. It is becoming, an exciting discovery. It is the process or lesson of student meeting the teacher and recognizing the lesson. The teacher, despite whatever form. It asks us/you to expand ourselves, our awareness, our being. We discovering that our being is always supported despite our best intentions to do otherwise lol. Showing up in our being, in nakedness without accoutrements is to “be.” Not in greed or need sense but knowing “all” are for of our being (existence).
The nectar, soma, or honey of life is love. Sharing is the wealth of life. The honey is our being. C’est la vie.
