Beyond Pop Culture Manifestation: The Holy Invitation to True Co-Creation

True manifestation is different than pop culture manifestation. It's a frequency to tap into first and foremost, way more importantly than a series of steps or concepts.

Pop culture manifestation is not the kind that I practice. Learning manifestation is not learning a cool or creative way to manipulate the universe. It's a holy invitation into the deepest intimacy you will ever know... between you and God, yourself, and your desires.

Someone told me the other day that he thinks he figured out why he isn't successful at "manifesting." He believed it was because he isn't genuinely happy all the time, and maybe he never will be.

I shared with him that there is good news. You won't be happy all the time and that isn't a "bad" thing. God gifted us all the flavors of emotions to experience ALL the flavors of life.

"We don't need to be 'happy' all the time to create a more than beautiful life, and to become an empowered creator."

He sighed with relief and said: "I really thought I did, that's what I read all over the internet - I need to stay 'high vibe' in order to be attractive to my desires."

I shared with him, and he felt resonance to the idea, that happiness is not the goal, or the test, or the agenda.

"So what do I need in order to become magnetic?" he asked.

The Foundation of True Manifestation

You don't manifest what you want, you create in your reality what you genuinely feel safe to receive. The nervous system and energy field doesn't respond to empty words. It responds to resonance, truth, and authenticity.

To me, true manifestation is from the inside out. We don't manifest by forcing or controlling our reality. We manifest by becoming a clear channel for the Divine to express itself through us. Through clearing the debris and recognizing what isn't us, and embracing the light and power and being-ness of who we really are.

The first thing I shared was: You have to believe and hold a self-concept that you have power. That you have a soul. That your state of Being, under all conditioning, trauma, and ideas, is the same frequency of the universe itself. And then the key: return to that place - as often as you possibly can.

We are not what we feel, we are our state of Being. The more we feel this in our bones, the more clear and powerful and creative of a channel we become. We have to decide we are powerful. We are so powerful that if we believe we are not, we are not.

The Practice of Sacred Co-Creation

It's not about the state you find yourself in, it's about returning to presence over and over again. We all forget, it's the way we are wired. The key is to be oriented towards remembering.

The gold and the alchemy is not found in how many times you "fall" but in how often, and with how much courage you keep returning to soul consciousness. (In other words, "never waste a good trigger"... every activation is here to lead you home to presence and deeper soul alignment.)

To be powerful creators we need to learn to "Be with" - to sit with the inherent binds we all face and find ourselves in as humans. (I really want this thing, AND my inner child is terrified of it) (I hold a desire AND I'm afraid others will be hurt/hurt me if I have it)

Everything we want and don't yet have has an inherent bind inside of it. The sole purpose of a bind is not to fix what is... it's to expand our capacities for PRESENCE - to be present with all that is.

When we cultivate enough presence to sit with the bind, we reveal its inherent blessings. When we sit with the bind and stay present with life, a field of infinite possibilities opens up.

The Manifestation Process

Once you've understood those foundations, here's the manifestation process:

Feel your feelings (all, not just happiness) (to create space, movement and flow)

Have what you actually do have - savor what IS. Notice what is. Slow down and be present with life.

Create something new: through frequency, intention, visualization, action, and prayer

BE the energy of the thing you are creating... right now.

Surrender to divine will

Ask God for divine intervention to align your will with divinity.

Surrender into the arms of God.

When we act with intention we give the message to our nervous system and life... that we matter. That's a really important message (especially for the inner child).

Manifestation involves inviting the divine into our bodies, and removing anything from our energy field that is discordant with that, through gentle boundaries and energy movements. We get back into the driver's seat of our lives and become the steward of our own energy.

The Kabbalistic Framework

Kabbalah's "secret" to manifestation is that manifestation begins in Atzilut, the field of pure divine intention (I call this the resonance field with the divine.)

Then is moved into Beriah, creation, the mental blueprint (this is where visualization and imagination comes in!)

After that, is Yetzira... emotional shaping. Can we add feelings to amplify the visuals? Can we feel desire? Can we amplify that sensation and feel it deeply?

And lastly, Assiyah... action in the physical world. What action can I take, big or small, to match the energy of my desire?

True manifestation is moving from the trauma vortex to the field of abundance, where all co-creation is natural and effortless.

A prayer that I say each day, that I'm offering you to share with me if you would like:

God, grant me the clarity and discernment to know when I'm surrendering and when I'm being passive, and the clarity to know when I'm co-creating with you and when I'm trying to control something.

So no, you don't have to be happy all the time to manifest. You have to learn soul lessons, become conscious to life, God, and your own soul, and accept your power. You have to feel your feelings, pray, and become the most YOU.
