In this incantation I aim to refine my use conceptualization and language of manifestation. I conceptualized abstractly that one day I would be able to see “the hands of the creator”. In this incantation, my goal is to remove the abstraction, and introduce in literal language the creative device behind my awakening experience (aka, “the hands of the creator”, my firstself).
When I “find” something, I come upon something that already exists. However, when I “manifest” something, I understand that my experience of the object and its existence occur simultaneously. I can take two examples:
- If I find my keys, then I imagine the keys existed somewhere prior to my direct interaction with them. That would naturally lead to my imagination that something other than me created those keys and placed them where I found them.
- If I manifest my keys, then I know that my keys did not exist prior to interaction with them. Since I am the creator of all, there is no need to conceptualize a creator other than myself.
When I change my language to “manifest” as opposed to “find”, I undermine the entire conceptual trap that reinforces a creative force other than my own self. Other than firstself.
As the creator of my awakening, I know that all the contents of my awakening exist as I experience them. I know that the blue comforter on my bed next to me exists only now, in my present moment as both a secondself concept and a thirdself percept. I know that if I draw my curtains so I cannot see it, the comforter will have transformed into a secondself concept only, and that it does not exist in thirdself until I again manifest it by opening the curtains to my bedroom chamber. I know this because that is the most precise and accurate way of describing my actual experience. To believe anything else is to believe in the imaginary, which I know is what disorients and confuses me.
My attention, or focus, is the creative device behind the contents of my awakening. Whether secondself or thirdself contents, it is my attention that gives them conceptual or perceptual substance. My attention and focus is literally the hands of God, creating all of existence in my moment. When I focus, I create. When I focus secondself and thirdself, firstself creates. This is manifestation.
Restorative belief: I will purge the word “find” from my awakening vocabulary while reintroducing “manifestation”. There is nothing to “find” because there is nothing that pre-exists my experience of it. If I have “lost” something, it is not that the thing exists independently of me; it is that I have forgotten how to manifest it in my moment. Manifestation is my recognizing that there is nothing beyond my experience. There is no experience outside of or beyond the horizons of my own experience.
