You Are Always Manifesting

The bottom line in the conscious creation game is that you're never not manifesting.

Many people come into the idea of manifesting their desires, and then begin to consciously TRY manifesting things. The idea of manifesting, an innate and inevitable outcome of being focused in physical reality, is handed over to the conscious mind – the ever eager doer.

What you've done naturally and effortlessly, what you've done automatically all your life, gets turned into something mechanical that you have to manually turn the wheels on. It begins to feel like effort. It begins to feel like struggle. It begins to feel like working too hard at something and getting only sparks and splutter. It begins to feel like something that just doesn't work. "Ah, this manifesting stuff doesn't work for me!"

You know even then you're still manifesting? Even if you sit with your arms crossed refusing to manifest, you're still manifesting moments. Experiences will pop up. Situations will pop up. People will appear in your experience just when you need them to. People will not respond to you even when you really want them to. Your body will do X Y and Z. The creativity of life continues to flow whether or not you are consciously trying to manifest things.

If you look at the natural world, you'll notice there is an effortless flow to everything – an ebb and flow, a cycle that carries on like clockwork. Manifesting is set to the same rhythm. Like breathing, like the flow of water, like the seasons of the year, like the precise movement of the earth and planets, manifesting has its own built-in way of unfolding in your personal reality. If it feels like you're trying, making effort, and having to pull the grass out of the ground all on your own, then you're forgetting something.

You're forgetting that you have always been a Master Manifestor. You have always been a powerful being. That you never had to try to manifest your body, it just appeared. You never had to try to manifest anything before you came into the information about "creating your reality". The information on manifesting has been too focused on "how to manifest" when this is something you've always done naturally, organically. You're naturally, by your mere observation of and participation in this physical platform, manifesting.

The part where you can engage your conscious mind usefully is in the letting go process. The conscious mind, the surface layer of your consciousness, is an expert at hanging on to things, at attaching, at grasping, at identifying and clinging. It hangs on to concepts. It hangs on to memories. It hangs on to outdated psychological maps. It hangs on to outdated beliefs. The conscious mind is a great master of the attachment and aversion game.

Where the conscious mind needs a little nudging toward is in the art of letting go, releasing resistance, remaining open and trusting of the natural process of creation that has been unfolding for billions of years. Stop trying to manifest things. The very feeling of trying is a manifestation of resistance. You don't have to try to breathe. You just do it. You don't have to try to blink, you just do it. You've always just done this whole "manifesting" thing easily and effortlessly.

So now relax. Watch where you’re focused and how you’re focused. Trust more. Bask more. Appreciate more. Know that what you’ve asked for is already yours a little more. And definitely let go more!
