Manifesting

Posted on 19 May 2007

I want to take the open-mindedness topic a step further. I spoke yesterday about some of the more esoteric stuff that I do as a life coach and made mention of manifesting and I’d like to talk a little bit more about it because it is such an interesting field.

Stay with me on this one if you are unfamiliar with it because it is an easy concept to grasp but a tricky one to embrace for a lot of people.

For thousands of years certain cultures have believed that it was possible to attain the life of your dreams pretty much by telling the universe what it is you want. To most people in modern society that have been brought up to believe what they see that the only way you get what you really want is by hard work and/or good luck this is not something that sits well.

What if it’s true though?

What if by concentrating your mind on your hopes and dreams you really could pull them nearer to you?

Wouldn’t that be something worth getting excited over and worth pursuing, even if there were only a 1% or less chance that it could actually work?

For those of you that have seen The Secret (Extended Edition) or even What the Bleep!? - Down the Rabbit Hole (QUANTUM Three-Disc Special Edition) you will have an idea of what I am talking about. You will also know that there are elements of science fact, we are not just talking about some weird concept dreamt up by somebody that has swallowed too many magic mushrooms.

There is no doubt that many people working in science dismiss the idea as fanciful but then again there were many scientists that thought the sun revolved around the earth, that man could never leave the earth, that smoking wasn’t harmful and that global warming is/was a myth, so that is no reason to dismiss an idea out of hand.

There is no doubt in my mind that in 500 years time we will look back on today the way we now look back on Medieval times, with horror. The way we live, the way we communicate, the way we travel, the way we treat disease etc will all be unrecognizable from how we do it now and there isn’t anybody alive that knows what that will look like.

I honestly do not know if manifesting truly works I have an open mind on the subject. However, I do know though that many highly intelligent learned people swear by it and I am not prepared to dismiss their opinions along with millions of Buddhists, Hindis and Taoists just because it’s all a bit weird and out of my comfort zone.

Note: One of the leaders of the field in the US was Thomas Leonard. He actually started Coachville the biggest coaching company in the country and was by all accounts a great Life Coach himself. He wrote a book called the 28 Laws of Attraction which takes a detailed look at manifesting. So if you want to investigate the field a little more I would recommend you check it out. After all, what have you got to lose?
