beyond manifestation?

Ever have doubts about manifestation as it’s taught?

I know I do.

Nadine and I, co-facilitators of global village campus, just experienced a massive breakthrough.

Together. Real time.

We’ve both had our share of misgivings about the conversation around manifestation for quite some time.

It’s not that we doubted that the technology works.

It does. We both have volumes of evidence support this:

Decide what you want. Visualize it. Feel as you would if you already had it. Act as if you have it. Believe that you have it. Become the person who already has it, and watch it appear.

Those are the rough strokes of the process.

*And* Nadine and I are increasingly uncomfortable with the use of this technology.

This morning, we finally discovered why.

This process is rooted in an old paradigm, one that venerates (the semblance of) control.

Don’t know what you want? Your life is your fault.

Know what you want but aren’t visualizing it? Your life is your fault.

Visualizing it but not accessing the feelings or belief that you already have it? Your life is your fault.

Not taking action as if it’s on its way? Your life is your fault.

You are NOT becoming the person who already has it, so that’s why your life is the way it is.

Oh, and in case you were planning on having some grace for yourself, let’s just remember: you create your reality. Whatever is in your life right now is your fault.

For years, these teachings felt like heavy weights on my shoulders.

There are so many problems I have with these assertions. Take the word “fault”, for example. It’s not really compatible with how a global villager rolls.

When everything we do is grounded in radical self-acceptance, compassion and trust, there is no real need to establish “fault”.

When we accept ourselves as we are, we tend to willingly accept responsibility for the part we play in our reality.

And when we are operating in alignment with our true nature, there’s little reason for us to need to look to our minds to ‘figure out’ what we want and then visualize it.

In other words, we’re not addicted to the illusion of control — of our lives or of anything else.

We learn to embrace surrender, accepting what is while operating as sovereign beings who consciously co-create with Life.

Reality ceases to feel like a mechanism to control and begins to feel like a relationship to participate in.

It’s such a different world.

For my entire lifetime, in countless ways, I have come to know in my gut that I am supported.

If I wanted to, I genuinely could not go back to how I lived before, using my mind to attempt to architect reality, and then operating from that frame of reference.

There are alternate technologies available.

If you have also struggled with manifestation the way it has been taught, know that you are not alone.
