As with other “fields of study,” manifesting has its own vocabulary and concepts. Here are some of the most common:
Creation is done – Just about everyone I have listened to utters this sentence. The belief is that creation is done, and all possibilities exist. Unlimited versions of you exist, and you just need to step into the one that has the thing or person that you want.
Parallel universes/changing your state – Not all manifestation “experts” talk about parallel universes, but if unlimited versions of us exist, it follows that there must be parallel universes. Some coaches say we are stepping in and out of different states (or universes?) all the time without knowing it. Some say you can tell, and that sometimes you notice sme things are slightly different because you have stepped into a new “state.”
3D/4D – The 3D is the world around you, what you have always considered reality. But manifestation considers your imagination (4D) your only reality — and what you see as 3D is just a reflection of how you see the world, and what you see is the old story — your old manifestations. When you are trying to manifest something, you are advised to not let what you experience in the 3D trigger you. Example: You are trying to manifest an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend back. In the 3D you find out they have a new love. You are advised to not let that bother you, and continue to manifest them. Are you a relationship wrecker? Not according to the next concept.
No manipulation – You cannot manipulate others. You can only change yourself. So manifesting your ex back even though they have a new relationship is OK. You are not changing them. You are changing you. Or maybe you are stepping into the version of you that has this relationship. “You don’t get what you want. You get who you are.” Manifestation is all about becoming the person who has what you want.” If that is difficult to wrap your head around, try the next one.
Revision – Didn’t like something that happened in your 3D day? Change it! What????? Yup, revision is going back and changing something in the past so that it happened as you would have liked it to. You can revise as many things from your past as you want. Something in your childhood? Revise. Something that happened this morning? Revise. Neville Goddard, whom I have mentioned before, and you cannot talk about the Law of Assumption without mentioning, advises that every night before bed, one goes through their day and revises anything that didn’t happen exactly as they would have wanted it. I have tried it with things that happened long ago, and it did blunt the emotional effect it had on me. In manifestation there is no future and no past. There is only now. (Have you read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle?) The past is malleable. Consider the fact that two people who experienced the same event in the past remember it completely differently. Revision helps you get rid of limiting beliefs you have because of your background and experiences. One of my favorite coaches said revision changed her life.
Mental diet – This is related to self-concept. A good mental diet is good for your self-concept. Self-concept is not really the same as self-esteem. Self-concept is who you believe you are. And who you believe you are when you are manifesting should be the version of you who has what you want. You must embody (there’s another common term) that version of yourself.
You – You are not that character you see in the mirror. That is your human part. We are all connected as one consciousness. That is our higher self. Our higher self (God) is what manifests. Not our human self. I have not heard every coach say that, but I have heard it many times.
List technique/ build up your faith – Some coaches recommend things like the list technique to build up your faith in manifestation. Choose random small things that you would like to manifest and then forget about it. Do not dwell on them. See what happens! By small things, I mean a free cup of coffee, a duck in the middle of the road, twins wearing blue dresses — you get the idea. And manifestations do not always happen immediately.
The sabbath — You are working on manifesting for a while. Maybe you are using visualization, maybe affirmations. After a while, you feel that it is done and will come to be. You are relaxed. That is called being in the Sabbath — waiting for your manifestation — even though you are not supposed to “wait” for it.
Birds before land – Sometimes you will see clues that your manifestation is coming in the 3D world — which you are supposed to sort of ignore. (Don’t ask me; I am just the messenger of these ideas!) Maybe you have been manifesting a new love. Someone does come into the picture, but it is short lived, and that person is not quite right. Is that a sign that your manifestation is working? You are manifesting money. You come into some money, but not nearly the amount you are trying to manifest. A clue that your manifesting is working out? You are trying to manifest an ex back. You hear her name everywhere and see the color and make of her car everywhere. Is that a sign? Some say there are no signs because the 3D is an old story.
Bridge of incidents – When you manifest something you DO NOT need to know how it is going to happen. That is not your job or your business.The universe will move things around to get you what you want. It might take a lot of steps, but you don’t need to be concerned with it. Example: You are trying to manifest a promotion. But your co-worker gets promoted instead. You are crushed. A month later that co-worker gets job in the city across the country where his girlfriend lives. He takes the job. You get his. Done!
SATS – This is a really common one, named by Neville Goddard. It means State Akin to Sleep. It is the time when you are drowsy, but not quite asleep. Your brain is in an alpha or theta state, not the active beta state or the sleeping delta state. When you are relaxed like this, your thoughts have more access to the subconscious. If you visualize in this state, it is easier to leave an imprint on your subconscious and plant the seed for your manifestation. One of the coaches who resonates with me the most highly recommends trying to get to that state, which is easiest when going to bed and just waking up. I have never been able to do it without falling asleep first! It is not easy.
Vibration– What is this vibration stuff? Mostly it belongs to the Law of Attraction, not this Law of Assumption, both manifesting laws. The Law of Attraction says you need to match the vibration of what you want to manifest to draw it to you. I don’t know all that much about the Law of Attraction although I read The Secret more than once and saw the movie. I did try to raise my vibration once with the same thing I am trying to manifest now, and I had some results.
Meditation/hypnosis – I don’t have the patience to meditate, but there are manifestation meditations online to manifest certain things. Also meditation is good for manifesting because of the relaxed state it puts you into. Add hypnosis to that. There are also hypnosis videos as well as coaches who will make a specific hypnosis “tape” for you.
Inspired action – Perhaps I have not mentioned that you don’t actually need to DO anything to manifest. If you want to manifest money, you don’t have to work harder. To a point. If you want to start a business, you might have to do something. If you want to manifest a relationship, you might have to leave the house, although some say you don’t have to. But inspired action is action apparently unrelated to your manifestation. Going on five dating apps if you are trying to manifest a relationship is not inspired action. (It isn’t even wise action! LOL) But a sudden urge to get your daily coffee at a new coffee shop one day might be inspired action. You don’t know why you are driven to do it, but then you meet someone there. That is an example of inspired action.
SP– The old SP is probably the most common manifestation: Specific Person. This person can be an ex. It seems that it usually is. Some coaches deal primarily with helping you get your ex back. If your ex was lacking in some way, in manifestation you are supposed to be able to get the version of your ex that you would have liked, not the one that may have caused issues. In my opinion, an ex is easier to get back than any other type of SP, simply because lots of exes get back together anyway. But that is just my opinion. It is supposed to be as easy to manifest a celebrity specific person — or someone who doesn’t know you exist that you are interested in — as an ex. And then you can of course manifest someone you don’t know yet, just a love relationship where you create a list of traits you want in the person. Ultimately, everyone agrees there are no “big” and “small” manifestations. They are all as “easy” to get as the next one. A celebrity specific person is as easy to manifest as a free cup of coffee or a duck in the middle of the road. Go figure. Oh, and a specific person can also refer to anyone and doesn’t have to be a love relationship. It can refer to a family member or a friend or a boss or anyone you would like a relationship or a better relationship with.
and this big one —
I AM – This one is from the AI explanation on Google: The phrase “I am” is a fundamental declaration of existence and identity. It affirms the speaker’s current state of being and serves as a basis for self-identification. In various contexts, it can have deeper meanings, such as emphasizing one’s divine nature, expressing self-acceptance, or affirming a personal identity.
And yes, you can manifest for other people if you would like to help them out.
Yeah, I know that was a lot. Next week the conclusion: Some manifestation gurus.
