What Is Manifestation?
Here’s a basic introduction.
It’s All Your Fault
What does it mean that a human is “made in the image of God?” God represents the ultimate creator archetype — the master organizing force throughout all reality. To be made in the image of God means: you are a co-creator in the universe. Every action you take, every belief you indulge in, every thought, feeling, and desire that you allow into your mind — your experience is a reflection of these.
But you are not any particular thought about yourself. You are not any particular action that you take, though you cause them, and you might be unaware of how you cause them. You are the consciousness behind all these things and activities that creates and experiences them.
You are already manifesting all the time. It is like you are dreaming your world into existence, only you’ve forgotten you were dreaming and have begun to identify as your dream character. “Learning to manifest” means waking up to the manifesting you already do, so you can consciously adjust things towards a dream that’s beautiful to experience.

The more we can slow down and learn to see the waves of our energy, the more we can steer ourselves to take advantage of the right kind of waves, and protect ourselves from the dangerous ones.
It’s a process of constantly evolving and upgrading your perspective in response to experience. Each improvement on the level of perspective will have a multiplied effect in every area of life, because every area of life is a reflection of your perspective.
Because you are already manifesting, the watching is how you will learn to manifest consciously. You will see how the system of your karma works, in parts at first and then the greater picture. Naturally, your insight will lead to intuition about the easiest way to influence the system for the better.
For example, instead of receiving the thought “My head aches” and being done with…
