I agree with Jill! The whole manifesting movement has this blind spot that I perceive as massive selfishness.... just because a situation might work great for you if it falls a certain way, there is the whole rest of the population to consider, and other possible positive outcomes that could be more inclusive of others’ needs. Thank you for this article, i actually said, YES, FINALLY, THANK YOU while reading. It’s nice to feel validated in my hesitation to embrace that mode of thinking.
Sorry for being late to the party, I'm new to Betwixt. So, if they claim that the manifestation movement is connected to quantum physics (everything, including ourselves are built from the same energy), why they are so focused on possessions? Shouldn't love be our common goal? Practicing self-love, loving others. What sense makes having everything, if you don't have love. And I don't think about a relationship here. Totally agree with you.
Yes, so well said. Like who are we to override what might be written in the stars to insist that we know better & need to be a billionaire with a yacht!!
So right, it totally disregards what anyone else might've had in mind for their future.
I love this. I've always felt an unexplainable disconnect to "manifestation". Not always, but I totally related to this thread. I couldn't help but feel that if I only imagined myself in desired end result, then I could be doing myself a disservice of not preparing for other possible outcomes or have any kind of Plan B. And not having a Plan B is very uncomfortable for me, haha!!
I'm new to your app & newsletter & I'm really enjoying it so far. Thanks for the great insights!!
Thank you for your comment, Jill. Glad the article resonated. I relate very strongly to this, too, especially when I think back to my younger self and all The Secret type messages that I could fall prey to, not being able to discriminate at that age.
