Ways intention getting fulfilled can sometimes look like intention failing (examples)
Manifestation: Suppose you want to manifest $1000 for whatever reason. And the way you want this to happen is by having a specific person give it to you. That person doesnât give you the $1000, and you get frustrated. You think, âWell, whatever, I guess I failed.â But then something else happens (you win a raffle, or your job gives you a bonus, you suddenly get a refund you werenât expecting, or another person, place or thing comes in allowing you to obtain the $1000). Because your intention wasnât âso-and-so gives me $1000.â Your intention was simply to have the $1000.
Now, letâs say for shifting: You really want to be in your DR. You do a method, but it doesnât work. You wake up in your CR the next day thinking, âWhat the fuck? I intended to shift. Why am I still here?â You get frustrated all day, canât sleep that night, and finally crash at 6 AM. With only an hour left before work. But then, in that single window of REM sleep, your awareness is just malleable enough that you shift to your DR.
Another shifting example: You want to be a master shifter so badly. All you want is to shift at will, but youâre stuck in the stage of spontaneous shifts and mini-shifts. You consume a perfect mental diet, intending to be a master shifter, but after countless tries, it still doesnât work. You feel powerless and frustrated. Finally, you give up on all the methods and decide to just meditate. And then you discoverâyou shift easily from meditation.
Another manifesting example: You intend to find a job because you need money for a better life. You apply to a hundred jobs, hear back from none, and face rejection after rejection. Youâre frustrated, questioning everything. You vent to a friend, who then casually mentions their workplace has an opening. You apply, get it, and the job pays even better than all the others you were stressing over.
Shifting again: Youâve tried to shift to your DR for years. Methods, tips, tricks, nothing works. Finally, you give up and focus on another area of your life. You decide to manifest something else you need, maybe for a health issue to go away.Whatever it is that you did to manifest works so well for you, that one day you try it with shiftingâand suddenly, it works. You shift.
Manifesting again: You want to move out of your parentsâ house, but you have no money, no job, and they wonât let you. Three years pass while youâre trying to manifest it, and nothing happens. Then, out of nowhere, everything falls into place; you land a job, find a new place to live easily, and move out. Looking back, you realize if it had happened earlier, it wouldnât have aligned perfectlyâyou would have had to sacrifice one or two things. Now, you have it exactly as you wanted.
Another shifting case: You want to shift so badly, but youâve lost all motivation. You canât stomach another attempt, and youâre stuck in limbo. One night you just say âFuck it. I intend to be in my DR right now.â No method, no effort, just intention. Suddenly, an urge hits you in the moment: act as if youâre your DR self. And that very spontaneous act shifts you.
For the void: You want to enter the void to manifest everythingâclear skin, your dream body, perfect health, to live in your dream city, have your dream job. You try so hard, but you never get there. You question whether the void is even real, and why you could never manifest from it. Then, everything starts falling into place anyway. Void or not. Your skin clears up, your body changes, opportunities align, and suddenly youâre living the life you wanted. You look back and wonder âIf I never entered the void⊠why did I get all this?â The answer: because intention always prevails.
You can quit shifting, quit manifesting, quit everything. But as long as you still keep the intention, and keep your awareness pointed at it, nothing can stop you. Because at the end of the day, itâs never about how it happens. Itâs about the fact that it does.
Failure is demoralizing and demotivating. It makes you spiral, makes you want to give up. But what is failure in the face of intention? In the face of desire? In the face of something you canât let go of, no matter what reality throws at you? Manifestation and shifting, as I see them, are simply observing your desired outcome until all other outcomes/realities collapse to show you the one you want.
Itâs not about âtrust the processâ or ârejection is redirection.â
When you hit failure, what if you think: âHm. So it wasnât this path. But itâs still moving.â Because you canât stop moving toward something thatâs already yoursâunless you turn around completely.
