Manifestation Fundamentals: The Unique Advantage of Weakness

The following article is part of a series on Manifestation. For the first part, please see Manifestation Fundamentals: Accept That Life is Unfair. In this article we continue to discuss "The First Fundamental of Manifestation":
To work with The Law of Attraction properly, you must transform yourself into a person who has this ability. Change is not optional.
Here we'll tackle the concept from a different perspective.


One thing many of us spend a lot of time on is the careful control of our energies. Positivity, compassion, patience, happiness, and all of the things we call "high frequencies" start as quarries we pursue, then hard-won prizes, and then simply become habits.

In theory this not only makes us happier and healthier, this also opens us to the higher wisdom of the universe. Of course, of particular importance to this series of articles is also the application of the Law of Attraction: if you stay positive, then positive things will come to you.

The difficulty is that the world, and our experience of it, spans the frequency spectrum from one end to the other. As positive as you think you are, you are not completely free of negativity. That's an experience reserved for the next world.

So here's what happens: we have our high-frequency addict. They resonate with joy, bliss out in meditation, and overall present a shiny happy face to the world at all times. And then they get sick, have arguments with friends, business moves don't go as planned, and they're left wondering: how is this possible? I've been entirely focused on positivity, so this shouldn't be happening. I did not ask for this. What's going on?

Manifestation Fundamentals: Accept That Life Is Unfair

The time has come at long last to start looking at the infamous "Law of Attraction". Popularized by "The Secret", this has grown into a mini-industry of its own. Most material written on this topic seems to focus on one narrow aspect of the issue, but then presents that little piece as the entire equation. Other times, as in "The Secret" itself, you're filled with quick tips but in such a glossed-over manner that many of the fundamentals get lost.

In truth, this topic is so vast and complicated that it's difficult to know where to start.

Between the epic volumes of New Thought philosophy, mountains of occult practices from the last few centuries, the ancient Gnostic documents and other ancient tablets, there's no shortage of source material I could quote if I felt like looking smart. None of that even begins to approach the libraries of modern New Age philosophers and the work that continues to be published by the Theosophic and other societies. This thing is a monster!

What I'll do, then, is forget it all and focus on channeling a series of articles examining "The First Fundamental of Manifestation":
To work with The Law of Attraction properly, you must transform yourself into a person who has this ability. Change is not optional.
The next few articles will be focused on different aspects of this fundamental, and we'll see where inspiration takes it from there.

The Spiritual Journey of Poker

Seriously? Poker?

One of the main ways to develop your intuition is to listen to it and act accordingly. Lately I've been calling this "obedience" as a way to bully my ego into doing what intuition is telling me to do. The principle is simple: if intuition shows you a door, don't ask what's behind it, just walk through it.

(Side note: this is all after a few years of training this thing I'm calling "intuition" to be a manifestation of the highest and finest frequencies of love and intelligence that have my best interest at heart, and will refrain from making suggestions until I'm ready for them.)

So there I was, staring at YouTube with this funny itch at the back of my mind that I'm supposed to be looking for something. And then it hit me: poker. I should be looking up poker. Of all things...

We'd Rather You Didn't Grow, Thank You

You know what bothers us about you? You're always growing. We really do wish you would stop that.

Don't you remember the message inscribed at the Oracle of Delphi? The greeks had it right: γνῶθι σεαυτόν. Know thyself.

As far as we're concerned, that means plant your feet on the ground and be consistent. You see, we have expectations about who you are. We've got you pegged. We know you.

And having you nailed down in our minds makes us feel good about ourselves. It makes us feel secure. It makes us feel smart.

So if you go growing like that, you'll change. Suddenly, you'll say something or do something that we didn't predict with our ingenious minds. And that will make us feel dumb, as if there was something about you that we didn't already know. We don't like that. We like feeling like we know everything. We like the familiar.

So even though we love you, even though we're your friends and family, we'd rather not be made to feel uncomfortable by all of this "personal development" and "spiritual growth" that you've been doing. It's awfully inconvenient for us.

Oh, so you think that "know thyself" means something different? It means discovering who you really are, beyond the ego and through your dreams and deepest desires? All of this "growth" that you're experiencing is really just the revealing of the person you've always been, ever since the day you were born?

Well that... that sounds like something we'd like to do ourselves, actually. Now we're envious. How dare you make us feel envy for something we're not emotionally prepared to experience ourselves?

No, really, if it's all the same, please get back in the box we put you in in the first place. If you keep getting out like this, we'll have to consider becoming more flexible. We certainly can not have that, can we! That means that we'll be changing and growing too! What a disaster!
