“I Manifested….”

Ever heard these words? Maybe you were attending a personal development seminar or hanging around the spiritual community or it was you talking about something that came into your life. I have heard things like, “but I manifested him and now the relationship isn’t happy, in fact there is some toxicity, but I manifested him./her. ” In other words, the Universe told me to be with this person and now what do I do? I hear these kinds of dilemmas a lot. People tell me they prayed for their partner, therefore the Universe/God/Holy Spirit has ordained that this person is for them.

Here’s what’s wrong with “I” manifested. Something that a real monk would school themselves to stop…first of all the delusion that there is an “I” and the second delusion that God is sitting up in the sky with an ipad set up to give you what you want and all you have to do is to send out an order.

I happen to be one of those people who got suckered into the egoic delusions that pass as religious faith. Soon, I realized the scam being played with people’s stupidity. You see nobody can truly fool you, unless that is what you want too.

Here is the truth that you don’t have to pay thousands of dollars to receive. If you want to make some higher power give you what you want, here’s the only formula that has some evidence of working. 1. Gratitude 2. Effort 3. Honesty together can give you something in life. Ethics that are practiced give you a strength of character. Your character creates effort. When you do something with honesty, you get results. This is a world where action works. Buddha taught in the 8 fold path, that right attitude leads to right action, which leads to right livelihood and right relationship.

It starts by controlling the “I” rather than letting a delusional self get out of hand. Here’s the truth.

There are no twin flames. There are codependent relationships that give grief because there is more fear than love.

There are no soul mates. There are souls that need each other or don’t.

Everything changes every day. So do you if you stop getting in the way of change, life runs a bit more peacefully.

Your worst experiences will teach you how strong you really are.

It is okay to cry. The one thing that will help you more than everything else is to cry, that is why when we are born we cry.

The only thing you will have is a relationship with yourself. That is something that nobody can take from you.

If you don’t think highly of yourself, people won’t either.

If you want to be foolish, it is okay to be foolish. Adventure cannot be had without foolishness.

Facing the truth is the hardest thing you will ever do, but it will open doors where none existed before.
