It's really popular out there in the spiritual circles when talking about manifesting to talk about how our thoughts turn into things.
And sure,
To an extent that's true.
But we have a lot of unconscious tendencies and energy in us.
So it's not enough to have a positive thought.
We have to reconcile the energy inside of us and really know who we are.
And then our thoughts have power when we go to manifest and create.
Oh,
Side note,
Before I forget,
I am teaching a four part series on abundance and manifestation on insight timer,
Starting January 17 I believe 5pm Pacific time let me check to make sure that's right.
That looks right.
So,
If you want to come hang with me for four weeks an hour a week on insight timer,
Whether you're there live or not you can watch the recordings.
That's going to be going down.
So,
I want to share the secret to manifesting the way I see it in the way I've experienced it in my own life.
And for me that secret is become what it is that you want to create and give what it is that you want to manifest.
So,
So,
It's so easy.
When we go to create something to think,
I want that thing,
So it's outside of me it's in front of me and it's in the future.
And I need to do these things to get that thing.
Right.
It's like hunting for food.
I need to go kill that animal,
Bring it back,
Cook it up.
I need to go there do that,
Get it,
Bring it back.
Very instinctual intuitive way of creating and dealing with space and time.
But on the spiritual levels,
Maybe on the more subtle energetic levels,
There's something else that's going on.
And so we want to approach it a little counter intuitively.
So if I want love.
I have to become love.
If I want healing,
I have to heal.
If I want creative projects to come into form.
I have to tap into my own creativity and become that creativity.
Right.
We all know that kind of on a superficial level.
But what does it mean to actually do it and become it in a real way.
And that's not so easy.
And in my own life,
I have to say things didn't really start manifesting in a grounded consistent way for me until I started giving until the balance of the ledger shifted.
And I started thinking more about how could I give to the world and how can I take or receive.
Now of course I still have thoughts of like,
I need that or I want that that's natural human inclination.
But there was a moment and I have to say it was probably because of you,
Because of my students and listeners,
Clients.
It wasn't just one moment maybe but a whole bunch of moments where people said,
Hey,
David,
Thank you so much for helping me shift my life,
Helping me be able to sleep through insomnia,
Heal trauma,
You know,
Find my spiritual path,
Whatever it is.
So many people kept saying that to me.
It started helping me realize the value of the work that I was doing.
And it gave me fuel to create and give more.
And then that started compounding.
The more I gave the more I started to receive over and over and to this day.
And one of my life dreams was to start a foundation and to help people.
And I did it.
So,
Yay for me.
And for the orphan kids in Nepal and India that are going to benefit from it.
So it's called the Himalayan Children's Future Fund.
HimalayanChildrensFutureFund.
Org.
And you can easily donate on there if you want.
It's a really easy way to help.
And I pay for all the administrative costs and so 100% of your money goes directly to buying food,
Clothes,
Toys,
Computers,
Paying school tuition for right now I've got about 75 to 80 kids and two orphanages and slowly we're going to be expanding when we can.
So,
When I started doing this work.
It filled me up the more I gave the more I felt fulfilled and on my path.
Find out what that is for you.
Or as Glenn and Doyle the author says find what breaks your heart.
There is your purpose,
Heal it and start to help people in the world that are suffering from it.
That really is the secret and you've probably heard it from Tony Robbins or 100 other people,
You know the secret to life is giving.
But maybe what I can add to that is it's not like you flip a switch one day you're like,
I need I need I want I want.
Oh wait the secret to life is giving David said so.
Tony Robbins said it in his booming voice.
You want to know what the secret of life is.
That's a really bad impression.
It's something that you cultivate learning how to open your heart and give is a muscle.
It's you cultivate it it's not something that comes natural to everyone we're self interested selfish creatures we're trying to get enough food and warmth and love and shelter to survive.
So it's,
It's,
It's a part of us that we have to cultivate and nurture.
As we give a little bit,
It grows that muscle builds to start small and do it consistently.
And over time you'll start to see the results,
And something in you will shift,
Like the polls shift.
All of a sudden it stops being about you,
Stuff being about me.
And it starts being about us,
And about the energy we're sharing with the world.
When that shift happens.
It will almost guarantee you you will find success in life,
In whatever area you're looking for it in.
And then you don't need it.
That's the,
That's like the odd dang.
Once I'm at this place of letting go and giving.
It's okay I'm not attached to the success in the same way anymore.
But there it is that's the paradox of life.
The secret here to manifesting is to open that heart up.
Let's let's get it open and start giving.
Give your life give your love give your energy give your healing.
Give your gifts,
As Pablo Picasso says,
The meaning of life is to find our gifts and the purpose is to give them away.
And then let's see what happens.
Go create some miracles.
I love you.
I'll leave the link for the kids in in the description on insight time I don't think I can leave links but if you're watching this somewhere or listening to this somewhere else.
You should be able to grab it.
If you want to make a really big donation.
Just email me through the website,
And we'll chat about it.
And I'm going to be leading retreats to back to Nepal,
And as coven,
Hopefully dies down,
And we're going to go see the kids.
So if you want to be on one of those trips.
You just go and get on my newsletter and I'll let you know when the next one's going to happen.
All right,
Be well.
