Manifesting is using thought to manipulate or create reality or matter.
Consider the chair you’re sitting on. At one point it was a concept in a designer’s mind. It was a thought only. She then drew the chair and gave the design to a manufacturer who built it. It was picked up by someone who at some time decided that they’d like to be in distribution. He hired a trucker (who had thought trucking would be a good job) who transported the chair to a retail chain owned by someone who thought he could make a living selling goods to others and filling a need. He rented his storefront from a woman who thought she’d learn how to buy and rent commercial real estate.
One day you thought you’d like to buy a new chair. You shopped around, found a chair you liked, and paid for it. You took the chair home and are sitting on it reading this blog post. Maybe you received the chair as a gift.
These are manifestations with which we’re all familiar and accept without question or doubt. Everything, everything you see around you started out as thought. Thought was mixed with belief and matter was manipulated to manifest the thought.
Thought + Belief = Success
What all these people had in common beyond thought was the belief that they could accomplish what they wanted. The designer didn’t just daydream about designing a chair. She went to school to learn design and business marketing. When she had enough knowledge and confidence, she sat down and drew the chair’s specifications and submitted them to a manufacturer.
If the furniture designer had at some point thought, “I like designing chairs but I don’t know how to sell them. Who would buy my chair? This is too difficult,” then you would not be sitting in that particular chair. It would never have been created.
Build chair + won’t sell = doesn’t sell (was never created).
The initial idea that formed in the designer’s mind had been dissipated by the thought that the chair would never sell, so it made no sense building it. Again you see thought + belief = success.
But then what was manifested from the thoughts of creativity plus doubt and fear of failure? Perhaps a woman who wanted to design chairs working in furniture sales dreaming about building chairs but just plodding along in a job she barely tolerates, her creative urges and talents unfulfilled.
Who did you buy the chair from? A series of individuals who joined thought and belief and created the distribution chain from creator to consumer.
