Carpathia received Titanic’s distress signal at 12:20am, April 15th, 1912. She was 58 miles away, a distance that absolutely could not be covered in less than four hours.

(Californian’s exact position at the time is…controversial. She was close enough to have helped. By all accounts she was close enough to see Titanic’s distress rockets. It’s uncertain to this day why her crew did not respond, or how many might not have been lost if she had been there. This is not the place for what-ifs. This is about what was done.)

Carpathia’s Captain Rostron had, yes, rolled out of bed instantly when woken by his radio operator, ordered his ship to Titanic’s aid and confirmed the signal before he was fully dressed. The man had never in his life responded to an emergency call. His goal tonight was to make sure nobody who heard that fact would ever believe it.

All of Carpathia’s lifeboats were swung out ready for deployment. Oil was set up to be poured off the side of the ship in case the sea turned choppy; oil would coat and calm the water near Carpathia if that happened, making it safer for lifeboats to draw up alongside her. He ordered lights to be rigged along the side of the ship so survivors could see it better, and had nets and ladders rigged along her sides ready to be dropped when they arrived, in order to let as many survivors as possible climb aboard at once.

I don’t know if his making provisions for there still being survivors in the water was optimism or not. I think he knew they were never going to get there in time for that. I think he did it anyway because, god, you have to hope.

Carpathia had three dining rooms, which were immediately converted into triage and first aid stations. Each had a doctor assigned to it. Hot soup, coffee, and tea were prepared in bulk in each dining room, and blankets and warm clothes were collected to be ready to hand out. By this time, many of the passengers were awake–prepping a ship for disaster relief isn’t quiet–and all of them stepped up to help, many donating their own clothes and blankets.

And then he did something I tend to refer to as diverting all power from life support.

Here’s the thing about steamships: They run on steam. Shocking, I know; but that steam powers everything on the ship, and right now, Carpathia needed power. So Rostron turned off hot water and central heating, which bled valuable steam power, to everywhere but the dining rooms–which, of course, were being used to make hot drinks and receive survivors. He woke up all the engineers, all the stokers and firemen, diverted all that steam back into the engines, and asked his ship to go as fast as she possibly could. And when she’d done that, he asked her to go faster.

I need you to understand that you simply can’t push a ship very far past its top speed. Pushing that much sheer tonnage through the water becomes harder with each extra knot past the speed it was designed for. Pushing a ship past its rated speed is not only reckless–it’s difficult to maneuver–but it puts an incredible amount of strain on the engines. Ships are not designed to exceed their top speed by even one knot. They can’t do it. It can’t be done.

Carpathia’s absolute do-or-die, the-engines-can’t-take-this-forever top speed was fourteen knots. Dodging icebergs, in the dark and the cold, surrounded by mist, she sustained a speed of almost seventeen and a half.

No one would have asked this of them. It wasn’t expected. They were almost sixty miles away, with icebergs in their path. They had a responsibility to respond; they did not have a responsibility to do the impossible and do it well. No one would have faulted them for taking more time to confirm the severity of the issue. No one would have blamed them for a slow and cautious approach. No one but themselves.

They damn near broke the laws of physics, galloping north headlong into the dark in the desperate hope that if they could shave an hour, half an hour, five minutes off their arrival time, maybe for one more person those five minutes would make the difference. I say: three people had died by the time they were lifted from the lifeboats. For all we know, in another hour it might have been more. I say they made all the difference in the world.

This ship and her crew received a message from a location they could not hope to reach in under four hours. Just barely over three hours later, they arrived at Titanic’s last known coordinates. Half an hour after that, at 4am, they would finally find the first of the lifeboats. it would take until 8:30 in the morning for the last survivor to be brought onboard. Passengers from Carpathia universally gave up their berths, staterooms, and clothing to the survivors, assisting the crew at every turn and sitting with the sobbing rescuees to offer whatever comfort they could.

In total, 705 people of Titanic’s original 2208 were brought onto Carpathia alive. No other ship would find survivors.

At 12:20am April 15th, 1912, there was a miracle on the North Atlantic. And it happened because a group of humans, some of them strangers, many of them only passengers on a small and unimpressive steam liner, looked at each other and decided: I cannot live with myself if I do anything less.

☄️Manifestation: A Guide ☄️

Introduction:

I have been receiving a lot of asks about manifestation, and since you guides are curious about how it works and how it’s supposed to be done, I made this small guide ! Now please remember that there’s so many other ways to manifest that the ones that I’ve wrote (like vibration high, or action ). Please practice safely and always with good intentions ❤️

FAQ About Manifestation:

How to manifest ?

There’s many ways on how you can manifest. In this guide you will find different types of manifestations, as well as how do it safely. Before you start any manifestation, ask yourself for which purpose you want it. I would also advice caution that I will explain later on

Now what is manifesting ?

In contrary of the definition of the popular word ( "show (a quality or feeling) by one's acts or appearance; demonstrate.”) , manifestation in spirituality/witchcraft is more like turning dreams and wishes into reality. Manifestation, is wanting/needing something and using several methods in order to make that wish happening into the real material life. 

How does manifestation works ? 

It works by using the energy of your thoughts, words, actions, ect. An energy that will slowly manifest into reality in the material world. ( remember when your teacher asked a question ? And you kept saying in your head “not me” but they ended up choosing you anyway ? That’s because your manifestation was negative. You used stress ou anxiety instead of reminding calm and focus ). In order for manifestation to work, the intentions must be clear and positive or you will be risking to receive the opposite (the same happens if you wish harm to someone, that harm might come to you in double. Law of karma added to your manifestation )

Is manifestation dangerous ? 

Usually no it isn’t dangerous but of course there’s always risks depending on the method you use, the motivations you have and of course the consequences of that wish of yours happening. Remember that every movement, every word, every action has consequences and the karmic energy will always be behind you 

What do I do when my manifestation is near ?

When you start having clear signs that things are shifting and that you are getting what you want, remind yourself to stay calm and positive. If things are happening just as You want than keep your form of manifestation. If you see that it’s here but not quite , than shift or add stronger “ingredients” into your manifestation to help it out ( ex you are manifesting a potential love interest, through the color red, by wearing it. Once it’s getting there but it feels like it needs a little push, than add red candles during your meditation, wear a red string, ect ) 

My manifestation isn’t working ?

If it doesn’t work it can be due to several things :

You aren’t doing things correctly 

You are in a negative environment 

There’s a toxic energy coming from someone around you 

You are spiritually blocked, so any spiritual deed is out of reach 

Your manifestation isn’t strong enough or sincere 

Your karmic chain makes you unable to reach that particular manifestation 

you aren’t giving it enough time. be patient

what you are manifesting is unrealistic and/or too big 

Your manifestation is too weak compared to the thing you asking 

Types Of Manifestation:

Prayer: it’s probably one of ways that are the most used by everyone and no matter the religion, beliefs or spiritual path that you have. You can pray for your manifestation, but I would advice you to fix a timing to do it and also request the help of a spiritual being during that period ( god, angels, ancestors, spiritual guides, ect ). Prayers can be long and delayed depending of your relationship with the deities

Meditation : it’s a very powerful one, even if during manifestation you can easily get into a state of self hypnosis, manifestation through meditating is usually a good way to start. Remember that you need to be neutral energetically, and on a very peaceful environment as any parasite energies can block your manifestation. You can start by lying down somewhere calm and cozy, pratice breathing exercices until yoir mind is empty and energy is clear. By then you can safely set your intentions while even using visualisation, prayer or thought.

Writing : it’s another powerful and very well known method. You can keep a small notebook where you write your manifestations. Everyday, you can write what you desire into it, and you can even write the same thing several times to help. For extra support carry a small papier with your intention written around you. Also for people who suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, or any psychological pathology or even if you just need a small push up time to time, keeping a positive manifesting book can be very, very helpful. Write positive manifestations and read then whenever energies get heavy

Thoughts: there’s nothing more powerful than thought. And if you notice it well you use it in any other way of manifesting. By thinking you are modeling the energy into something physical and real. Again, use timings and think in a clear way. Be careful with negative thoughts as it is the results of many sadness and repercussions

Speaking : speaking your intentions out loud, is another very powerful way to manifest. You can also combine it with another method or repeat it constantly out loud to help your spiritual self opening and also your subconscious to take notes. You can also use the “thought, speak, action” manifestation cocktail

Spells: of couse I wouldn’t advice you to do any spell if you aren’t someone used to do them in daily basis. For people who wants to use spells, there’s great manifestations spells that I would gladly help you with if you want, however it’ not newbie spells so please be careful. Spells are powerful if well done but can be dangerous if you have no idea of what you are doing (many people wouldn’t agree with that, but I think messing up energies without consciousness is not a smart thing to do)

Rituals : just like spells rituals can be very powerful and it’s not only used in witchcraft as you might think. Of course for all the witchies out there, you guys can use moon or element rituals for your manifestations. As for the others, you can use rituals with simple things (ex. Knock on wood three times before leaving the house after setting your intention, rubbing rose petals into your wrist once a week to attract love, ect ) the important is setting the intention and the manifestation through your ritual before realising it

Through objects : objects, colors, music, animals. Anything can be used to attract or to manifest something. You can use any object after you set the intention to help you out reaching your goal ( like I said up, using red to attract love, using a quote or smell to reduce anxiety, using a crystal to pass an exam, lighting up a candle for protection, ect ) 

First things first, the law of attraction is always working. Whenever you claim that the law of attraction is not working, you’re actually using this very law to convince yourself that indeed – it’s not working for you. And that, my friend, is a vicious cycle. 

However, you have to understand that there’s so much more to the law of attraction than those hyped steps: ask, believe, receive. It took me some time to fully comprehend the crucial principles, and now I’m going to share them with you.

So, why the law of attraction is ‘not working’?

You don’t practice detachment. Pretty often, people become too obsessed with their manifestations. They think about the thing they want to manifest 24/7 and complain about the lack of it. Wrong! Seriously, don’t you have better things to do? Whenever you put something on a high pedestal, you create resistance. Actually, an ocean of resistance. Learn how to detach and trust the Universe.

You don’t do shadow work. Take care of the quality of your canvas before you start painting. Oftentimes all of the past traumas and limiting subconscious beliefs are holding you back. Let go of them. Heal them and then move on. You can’t hold on to this kind of negative energy forever. 

You don’t express gratitude. If you’re not grateful for the things you already have, you’ll never be able to upgrade your life. Lack of gratitude keeps you entangled in the lower vibration. Gratitude is the magical frequency. The more you are thankful, the more you attract things to be thankful for.

You’re not specific. If you change your mind all the time, you send mixed signals and receive mixed results. Maybe for the first time in your life, ask yourself these questions: What do I really want? What does my ideal life look like? Vision boards and scripting can be very beneficial because they show the Universe your perfect blueprint.

You’re not living in the present moment. If you always think of the past or worry about the future, you lose all of the precious possibilities the present moment can offer. Now is the only existing time in this Universe, so learn how to be more conscious.

You don’t work on your vibration. Everything that surrounds you is in the vibrational alignment with your state of being. When your vibration is low, you attract more things vibrating at the same frequency. It’s super important to raise your vibration and to learn how to maintain the higher state of being.

You don’t nurture self-love. If you don’t love yourself, if you’re constantly criticizing yourself, it impacts your energy and your entire belief system. This self-hate is going to manifest in every aspect of your life. It’s almost impossible to create anything if you’re devoid of the most important thing: love. And love starts within you.

I would highly encourage you to try some of these strategies. They’ve had a profound impact on my own reality. One of my current goals is to manifest a book deal for the novel I’m working on, and thanks to these strategies, I’ve noticed a huge positive shift! I’ve started to attract the right people and circumstances into my life. It’s like having a magic wand!

You keep seeing angel numbers (ex: always catching 11:11, keep seeing 333, 1212, or any series of numbers. Google the meaning!!!

You keep seeing what you want to manifest pop up (for example: pics of it on social media when you’re just scrolling, it popping up in random conversations, you keep seeing it happen to other people, etc.

You’re starting to uncover different opportunities that can lead you to it (for example: you want to manifest your own apartment. yesterday you had a random business idea in the shower that never clicked until now. this business idea could lead you to that new apartment!

You feel giddy and excited and reassured when you think about it. You’ve reached the point where you know it’s coming, doesn’t matter how or when.
