I just wanted to say a big thank you to Scott for writing this eye-opening article on manifesting. It really struck a chord with me because it not only highlights the potential benefits of manifesting as a self-improvement tool, but also addresses the skepticism that some people, including myself, might have initially felt.
Reading this article was a refreshing reminder that despite the sometimes misleading marketing tactics that are associated with manifesting, it's still possible to approach the practice with a healthy dose of skepticism and discernment. This way, we can effectively use manifesting to genuinely transform our lives while keeping our feet firmly on the ground.
So, thank you, Scott, for providing such a balanced perspective on manifesting and for sharing your personal journey with us. Your honesty and openness are truly appreciated, and I look forward to applying the lessons I've learned from your article in my own self-improvement journey.
You got it Robert! I am glad this resonates and I have definitely experienced my own doubts about many of these concepts. Like all things we have to try it on for ourselves and seek to understand the truth of our own experience!
It makes so much sense. I do feel the same. There have been moments where I thought my intuition failed me but it revealed itself to be a gift. I now work on that cleansing process that is quite a process, but also follow mindfully and obediently the instructions. And yes they are my mapping system. In due time I know the release will enhance the expression to places I never thought were possible. And that is quite beautiful to uncover who we are and be amazed by the limitless state of what we are. Creativity is really the vehicle of that!
I really enjoyed reading this:) I love how you brought importance to the statement I AM. I often say, I don’t need to manifest anything, for it already is. This has brought me much peace in the allowance and flow state, especially in accordance to the law of attraction. As we are conscious creators constantly manifesting what is. Thank you for sharing your insight.
Thanks Sophie! The I AM is truly everything...though sometimes we lose sight of it. I'm delighted to hear that you've had similar realizations and greater levels of peace!
Thank you for speaking up on this controversial (even for awakened) topic, Scott! And for confirming my suspicions that Michael Singer’s take on that is unlikely what it seems to me after reading “Living Untethered” ;) Did “Power of Decision” by Raymond Charles Barker ever landed on your radar? I think it would be (somewhat) scientific work on the subject.
Thanks Misha. I'm a big fan of Michael. I think the thing to consider with all spiritual authors is they are speaking from their own lineage conditioning and level of awareness. Also, some purposefully obfuscate things based on where their audience is : )
I have not. I will look into it, thanks for getting on my radar. I sense it's something like the power of intention...
Another phenomenal article Scott. This is a really expansive frame for me. The more consistently I can remember that I am everyone and everything the more I can see that everything is happening for me. Your articles remind me of my primary purpose in life and that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be on my path. Thank you.
Thanks man! Once you glimpse it, it's a process of constant forgetting and remembering. There seems to be a continuum though where there is longer periods of remembrance that I'm hoping eventually gets stabilized. That's what my primary purpose is!
Thank you for this enlightening angle on Manifestation. I used to be in conflict with the purification or cleanse vs the projection of what one would like to experience. It's a journey indeed, as Self dies and birth again less appears as what is needed. I am currently back into José Silva's mind control and for months I was in and out of the practice. When you stated the focus is consciousness cleansing and the rest will follow, I noticed the fine line. So many teachers, so many tools yet there is no formula other than the release and expression of SELF.
How does it feel to be in the level of awareness you achieved today? Manifestation is a by product then purpose is the task. Do we manifest our purpose as well? Or at least clues to it?
Thank you for the kind words and sharing your experience Keva! Right now I feel like I am in a state of wonderous creativity. There is lots of daily discomfort physically at times which is mostly my body releasing stored junk, but there is such clear guidance. I feel like an order taker to a higher intelligence in my awareness. There's a lot less pressure with most things because I know I am being guided and life will present itself so there's really not that much to do besides listen and follow the directives earnestly. I find that things flow into my life more effortlessly. My intentions are met much more easily though there isn't a drive to maximize that capability if that makes sense. It all kind of feels a lot more like play. In terms of purpose, there is less attachment to finding purpose because the purpose is full realization and eventually there is a comfort level that will allow it to express externally in a way where you are less attached to where it goes. There's a knowing that wherever you're guided is the highest expression which conveniently seems to match that which you've always loved just forgot or were didn't have the courage to pursue, so it kind of all feels right. I hope that makes sense
I absolutely believe the inner state and the outer reality are always seeking equilibrium just like everything in the natural world.
We can shift our thoughts to be more positive and expectant and that helps. But that is superficial to the deeper state of consciousness where manifested reality is generated. If we aren't truly transformed here then it will never "realize" into our world.
I've heard it a lot recently, the universe doesn't bring you what you want, it brings you what you are. This is something I've come to wholeheartedly believe. Great job again.
I truly enjoy your writing Scott. I have shared this article on several of my socials and added you to the Substacks I recommend. Thank you also for influencing me to start my own... https://patricia40303.substack.com/ You and I have come to many of the same conclusions, albeit via different paths. I look forward to reading more... you will be next on my list of stacks I am a paid subscriber of... when I get one of my own, I will reinvest in you...

I've never heard that quote before. I love it and it is in alignment with my experience. Thanks as always for your support Aaron!
Scott, I appreciate you sharing the cloudy and unknown of spiritual development. Great job ! D
Thanks Dave! On my end, the grand mystery feels a tad clearer, but it's still mostly just a grand mystery : )

Thanks for the great article. I found one author who expresses similar thoughts beautifully is Carolyn Elliott in her book existential kink.
Pretty sure Jesus wouldn’t advocating for unleashing on someone lol. God bless you
