Transcript

Okay,

Folks,

We're back with the last very last episode of this manifestation series.

Hopefully you already listened to the first two episodes.

If not,

I suggest you kind of go back and listen to those in regards to reasons why your manifestations may not be manifesting.

So I already mentioned a number of things.

So this episode is going to touch on the last two reasons why I believe in manifestations are not manifesting.

But then based off of everything I mentioned,

I will offer,

I think,

The two main reasons why your manifestations are not manifesting.

So I mentioned some things in episode one,

Episode two,

And I'll mention some things today.

But all the things I mentioned,

I think there are two key ones as to why they're truly not manifesting.

And then I'll guide you through an activity to kind of help you,

I'll say,

Open up some of the gateways or kind of clear the road to kind of help bring some things in for you.

All right.

So let's jump in.

So I mentioned this one in the last episode,

But I didn't say anything else beyond it because I wanted to touch on something else in that last episode,

Episode two.

So the thing that I mentioned was feng shui,

Feng shui.

So you might have or heard of feng shui and thought about feng shui as how you position things in your space or how the energy happens to flow through your space or certain colors you might want to use in your space to help return things.

And yes,

And feng shui essentially is translated to the way of wind and water.

And in certain Asian cultures signifying specifically,

I'll say in Chinese culture,

Where the name feng shui comes from,

It really connects to wind and water,

Really connects to this element of goodness and things moving well,

Really in life.

So this element of feng shui is important.

And yes,

How you position things in your home,

Determining what direction your door is facing,

Your front door,

The direction that you meditate in is helpful,

The direction that you sleep in,

Make sure your head is facing certain ways,

All that stuff.

Yes,

It's important.

That is not my specialty.

So I'm not going to go in depth with that here.

But what I really want to mention is feng shui to me is more than just where you position things and where you're facing to bring in the things you want or for things to flow more smoothly,

Energetically.

Feng shui also deals with people.

It deals with people.

Again,

Traditional feng shui is based on how things are positioned in your home or your office determines the energy flow.

I also believe feng shui is connected to people,

How people are positioned in your life and who is in your life can also determine the energy flow of you.

So if you realize that there are certain people in your life that give you a headache,

That always stress you out,

All this stuff affects your energy flow.

And as I mentioned in the previous episode,

You know,

There is this connection to the mind,

Right?

And the mind,

All that stuff is connected to the energy and the flow,

Because also science tells us this.

The more that you are stressed out,

Of course,

Stress has to deal with.

We usually think about the stress as like a mind or a brain thing,

Which,

You know,

Which is true.

But stress can also be felt and affected in the body as well,

Which can also then affect the mind,

Which I also believe can also affect the energy,

Right?

Because everything is connected.

The mind,

Body,

Energy connection,

It's all connected.

But realizing that if there's a person in your life that you see every day that stresses you out.

That will be on your mind consistently.

That mind,

Again,

Is more than just the conscious mind.

Those 40 bits of information that we process every second.

It's also 200 million bits that we also process every second.

So all that stress eventually goes deep into the subconscious.

And all that stuff essentially prevents you from moving forward in the way that you want to,

Because again,

Science is telling us that 70% of all doctor's office visits are stress related.

I'll say it again.

70% of all doctor's office visits are stress related.

So you think you're going to the doctor because you have a pain here or something just feels off or yeah,

It could be through other things that might be happening in your life.

Maybe you banged your knee somewhere,

You know,

So you still feel the pain from that.

That could be true.

But if you didn't bang your knee anywhere and you haven't started to have knee pain,

Yeah,

It could also be arthritis,

But there could also be other underlying things like stress that's causing that.

And that,

Because that's on our mind,

Right?

The stress is on our mind,

It's taking over our mind,

Our consciousness.

It's also blocking the energy flow,

Which is now blocking,

Putting a blockage in the physical body being now because that's on our mind,

The physical body pain and stress.

Now that's preventing us from opening up our mind and sort of freeing our mind from thinking about other things because we have to now focus on our knee pain.

We have to now focus on the person that's causing the stress in our life.

So you see how it just becomes a domino effect of one thing after the other.

So realizing it's important to feng shui,

Appropriately feng shui the people in your life.

And let me tell you that I am a master at,

For sure.

I'm not a master at the traditional Chinese feng shui of where to put things in a physical space.

I would need someone to help me figure that out when I decide to go down that route.

I mean,

I know some basics,

But the people feng shui,

I am really good at positioning people in certain areas of my life,

Deciding whether this relationship with this person no longer works and either moving on from it or deciding I want to ease off the gas in this relationship.

I'm really good at that.

And I'm very clear at that because there were moments in my life where I wasn't and I had no boundaries and people were taking advantage of me.

And because of that,

Thinking about the things I wanted to manifest and materialize,

There were certain things that I was,

But those people were taking away from me because I had no boundaries.

Because I didn't have any boundaries and people would ask me for money,

But I would try to manifest money and I would get it,

But then I would give it to other people because they asked for it because I don't have any boundaries because I wasn't saying no,

The money would just leave automatically.

But I keep asking,

Oh,

I need some more money,

But the money I would get,

I'll give it to other people.

So it's like,

No.

So I have learned.

I have learned so much over the course of the process of five years.

My life has been quite the,

I'll say,

Doctoral dissertation degree for sure.

I feel like I definitely have some sort of PhD in life just based off of all the things that have happened in my life within the past five years.

Of course,

There's still more to learn.

Of course,

I'm still processing and unpacking.

And just because someone has a doctor's degree doesn't mean they know everything about their particular focus.

They might know a lot,

But not everything.

And there's so many other things that they can learn that's not a part of their focus.

But I do know that my focus when it comes to setting my boundaries and knowing how to adjust my life with people,

I'm a very,

Very good master in.

So I say all that to say,

Feng shui is important,

But just beyond feng shui-ing your home or your office,

It's important to also feng shui the people in your life and those that you associate with.

The second thing that I'm mentioning in this episode,

Which is another reason why perhaps your manifestations aren't manifesting,

And this will be the last thing I mentioned in this particular series,

Is luck.

Yeah,

Luck actually exists.

And all luck is to me,

You know,

People say this thing,

Oh,

This person,

They were in the right place at the right time.

That's essentially luck.

I like to add in right vibration.

You're in the right place at the right time and had the right vibration for this thing to happen for you,

Because someone can be in the right place at the right time,

But the vibration isn't right.

It's not going to work out.

Someone could be in the right vibration,

Right place,

But it's just not the right time.

So for example,

I'm asking,

Well,

What do you mean by that?

I'm going to use Oprah Winfrey as an example.

Oprah Winfrey,

We all know her,

Billionaire,

Right?

Self-made billionaire,

American black woman.

She grew up when she did,

The place she did,

The time she did.

She grew up and had her career on television,

Right?

Started off as a news anchor,

And then eventually went on to doing interviews right on television back when television was still a big thing.

People were still watching TV.

People were still interested in watching talk shows on television,

Right?

She was born in America.

Okay.

Oprah Winfrey was born at the right time.

She was born in the right place,

America,

For her to do what she needed to do.

And she had the right vibration for her to get to where she needed to get to.

Because she became very popular,

Well,

She started off with her own talk show in the eighties and then really kind of became super duper popular,

Like crazy,

Crazy popular in the nineties.

And then of course we know her.

That's who she is now.

If Oprah Winfrey,

I can pretty much guarantee if Oprah Winfrey were born now or even maybe 20 years ago and was maybe like a late millennial,

Maybe even an early Gen Z-er,

She might've been at the right place,

Born in America,

Could have the right vibration,

Right?

Being able to connect with people,

Very personable,

But she wouldn't have been born at the right time because television isn't what it is.

Television isn't now what it used to be.

People aren't necessarily sitting down to watch talk shows on TV.

People aren't necessarily tuning in to TV and having the millions of eyes watching a television show now as what was happening back then.

So I believe because of when she was born,

Where she was born and her vibration made her who she is.

But if you would have adjusted that time sort of frame and she was born 30,

40 years later,

I doubt,

Highly doubt that we would know Oprah Winfrey.

I mean,

We still,

She might've maybe done something,

Maybe a podcast or something,

But she would not nearly be who she is now,

The way that we know her now because of the time.

So I believe luck includes right place,

Right time,

Right vibration.

You have to have all three of those things,

I believe,

To have a certain amount of luck.

I also believe,

And this is now connecting to the two main things I believe you really need to manifest your manifestations.

So I think I mentioned,

But let me,

Let me go back a bit.

I feel like I mentioned a number of things.

I think I might've mentioned maybe seven things.

We spoke about law of repulsion.

We spoke briefly about the law of attraction.

We spoke about changing the language from manifesting to materializing.

We spoke about the law of karma.

We spoke about the mind.

We spoke about epigenetics,

Spoke about Feng Shui,

Spoke about your soul's purpose,

And spoke about luck.

That's nine things he spoke about.

I believe out of all of those things,

The two main things truly that allow you to bring in or that's really preventing your manifestations from materializing,

Number one,

I think is the mind.

I truly think the mind and the consciousness has way more power than we believe.

Truly,

Truly.

I mean,

If you look at all the religious texts,

They really talk about the power of the mind,

The internal self.

Christianity,

Because that's my background,

Mentions and talks about how the kingdom of heaven is within you.

We keep thinking about it being outside of us,

But it's really within.

So what does that mean?

That if the kingdom of heaven is within us,

That means we can essentially create heaven on earth for ourselves.

I think because they needed to talk back then in parables and stories,

They really couldn't say what they really wanted to say,

Number one.

But I think number two,

I'm not sure if there were necessarily words to express things like the consciousness.

I don't think they had that term back then.

So they had to kind of use other ways of talking about certain things.

So truly,

I believe if people were able to work on their mind,

So go beyond the consciousness and work on the stuff in regards to the other than conscious mind,

Oh my gosh,

Like crazy,

Amazing,

Wonderful things that we never thought would be possible could be possible just working on the mind and like doing things that need to be done to kind of clear up some of that stuff that we were taught we needed to do but wasn't good for us.

Childhood things,

Things that people sort of implanted in us,

Things that we were taught that we learned that we maybe now have to relearn.

Sorry,

Now that we have to unlearn as adults.

I truly believe that if we work on the mind and all that stuff,

Miracles can happen for us,

But then it won't be miracles.

Truly,

It would just be our everyday life.

I believe the mind really is truly number one,

100%.

I think everything else beyond that in regards to manifesting what you want to manifest and it's not coming really has to do with the otherness,

Meaning the soul,

The spirit.

The fact that maybe you're not getting what you're getting is because it's not connected with your purpose in life for this lifetime and your spirit,

Your soul,

Your what I call your divine team or your divine family are like,

No,

We can't do that.

That's not for you.

You got to focus on this other thing.

So that's what I believe.

I believe number one,

The mind,

The consciousness,

And the other than conscious mind,

All that mind connection stuff together,

That that is one of the main keys to creating the manifestation.

The reason why your manifestations aren't manifesting is you got to work on some mind stuff and then beyond that,

If you're not getting it,

Then it's just truly not meant for you.

But then the question is,

Well,

How do I know if there's a mental blockage or if it's truly not meant for me?

And there's many ways to figure that out.

One way I would say is as you think about this thing that you want to manifest,

Right?

And again,

Changing the language that you want to materialize as you think about it,

How does it make you feel?

Do you feel sad that it's not here?

Do you feel angry and upset that it hasn't come yet?

Do you feel dejected?

Do you feel like you just want to give up?

How do you feel about it?

Do you feel like it's impossible because you've been trying to get it for so long and it's not here?

That will be a key factor.

As you think about the thing,

Noticing what feelings come up,

Noticing what images come up,

That is key,

Truly.

So I think that's one.

And if you realize that there's negative images,

Negative self-talk,

Negative feelings connected to this thing,

That's how you know that there's a blockage there and there's something there that needs to be cleaned up.

Now,

There's something else I did not mention in this series in regards to energetic spiritual work.

So thinking about,

For example,

Those that might know the energy healing form Reiki,

The one that I practice specifically is pranic healing.

Because I also believe that sometimes with the consciousness that the consciousness can do a lot.

It can do a lot by itself.

But sometimes it might need a little push,

Just a little push.

And I believe that sometimes energetics and energy healing could also be another form that can also help with that as well.

But again,

I think the energetics doesn't work or it doesn't work well.

It doesn't work efficiently and doesn't keep working unless the mind stuff isn't cleared out first.

That is the most important thing.

So that's how you know,

Right?

That's how you know whether there's a blockage from you,

Or whether there's a blockage from your soul spirit.

And then if you realize,

Okay,

Well,

As I think about this thing,

There's no blockage.

Like,

I feel good about it.

I feel like it's possible.

I feel like I actually have it,

But I'm just waiting for it to be delivered.

If that's your thing,

Then either one,

Yep,

It's coming to you.

It's got to take some time,

Right?

You just got to,

Again,

Wait for it to be delivered to you,

Number one.

Or perhaps number two,

If you're like,

I feel good about it.

Like,

I feel like it's possible.

Like,

Yeah.

And you don't get it.

You don't see it.

It's not coming.

It's not coming.

It's not coming.

Then perhaps then there might be a soul spirit thing that's saying,

No,

Not for you.

But what I will say is that what I,

And again,

Let me just preface this before I say this next thing,

Is that everything I'm saying is based off my truth here,

Based off the world according to Kadim.

So I feel like I disagree with that.

Great.

Disagree.

Because my world is not your world.

Your world is not my world.

So I'm sharing things that I believe work well or things that I believe I've seen within myself and other people as the reasons why their manifestations aren't manifesting.

But if you have other stuff that you're like,

No,

I don't agree with that,

Or I think it could be this,

Then please go with your own internal knowing,

Because that's truly the most important thing.

I'm just sharing my story and stuff based off my background and trainings and teachings.

So please,

Again,

Just follow yourself.

Take what you want and then discard the rest.

It's like a buffet.

There's all these things here,

All this food.

Okay.

I don't want that.

I don't want to eat this.

Oh,

But this looks delicious.

This looks great too.

Let me eat this too.

Go back to your chair.

All this was great,

But this one thing I took,

I didn't like this.

Great.

It's like a buffet.

So take what you want.

Other things you don't like,

Discard.

So as I was saying is that I truly believe that if the mind is clear and all that other than conscious stuff is truly clear and open,

That we can really do anything,

Like truly,

Like really anything.

And when it can really accomplish anything,

You know,

But it's,

You know,

A lot of that stuff,

A lot of that mind stuff,

A lot of stuff,

It's just,

It's deep.

It's just really deep in there.

But I believe that even if,

Right,

There's like,

Okay,

I feel it.

I feel like my manifestation,

The things I want to manifest,

I know it to be true.

I feel it.

I feel positive about it.

I feel good about it.

I believe that it's coming to you because I really do think that it's rare.

I think,

Yeah,

There are moments where the soul or spirit's like,

No,

You can't have that because it's not connected to your purpose.

I believe those moments are rare.

I truly do.

I really do think that the mind is powerful and the mind really has a lot of control.

But because that has not been our,

I'll say our focus of life during this particular season of life,

The focus has really been on other stuff.

It's been focused on education.

It's been focused on knowledge.

It's been focused on a sense of intelligence in regards to,

You know,

Tech or innovation,

Which is beautiful,

You know,

Which I think all those things are great.

But I think the focus has largely been on the intelligence and smarts to create and to make opposed to the,

Like,

Deeper inner intelligence to kind of unlock things that are miraculous.

Again,

That we deem to be miraculous now,

Which,

But I don't think will be miraculous in like 2000 years or so,

Because I think at that point,

Society would have moved beyond where we're at now.

And I think the mind and the consciousness will be so much a part of our day-to-day life that things that we thought were miracles in the future will just be a part of life,

You know?

So,

I mean,

I believe that at a certain point,

You know,

The medical community and medicine,

The way that we know it now,

Won't exist.

Because I believe that people will be able to heal themselves just with the thoughts.

And will heal others just with the thought.

And I would even say even kill others with the thought.

I believe that idea of war as we know it now with guns and all this stuff and even people talk about nuclear attacks.

I don't think that's going to be the future.

I think everything's going to be done by thought and by intention,

You know?

So anyway,

That's me.

I know it sounds very,

You know,

Sci-fi.

But,

You know,

A lot of sci-fi stuff we saw in the movies decades ago,

You know,

Have happened now.

So anything is possible.

So anyway,

Hopefully this was helpful.

Hopefully you learned something,

A thing or two.

If not,

Hopefully you just maybe enjoyed listening to me yap.

Yap at you for a bit.

But as I said,

In addition to some of the things I mentioned I would do in this particular episode,

I also wanted to end with an exercise to kind of help clear away some of the blockages towards your goals to maybe help bring it in a bit more.

Or at least bring it a bit closer to you.

Or come to a space where you feel good about your goal,

Even kind of neutral.

Because I also believe this.

Is that,

And I think I mentioned this in the last episode,

Is that sometimes one of the keys to having your goal is not to feel bad about it or good about it,

But sometimes to feel hootless also.

Like I think that's another feeling to have.

Like yeah,

I feel good about the goal.

You know,

That feels great.

You know,

I feel like it's accomplished.

It's possible.

I think that's great.

Yes.

But I think another one is feeling this sense of neutrality.

Because I do believe that neutrality connects to things being integrated into your life.

Because you know,

You might drive a car,

You know,

But you might not necessarily be excited about driving a car.

Like it's okay to have a car.

You know,

You have a car.

You're neutral about having a car.

It's just like part of life,

Everyday life.

You got a car,

Right?

You know,

You don't necessarily feel excited about it.

You might feel excited if maybe you get a brand new car.

It's like,

Wow,

I got a brand new car.

Oh my gosh,

I love it.

It's so amazing.

But then after three years,

You have the car.

It's like,

Oh,

I got a car,

Right?

So there's a sense of neutrality about it because it's already integrated into your life.

So I'd also believe that there is this sense of feeling hootless about something,

Neutral.

Let the mind know,

Oh,

It's already integrated with them as well.

Because I'll speak for myself,

95% of the things that I've manifested have manifested in a space of feeling completely neutral.

It wasn't a positive or negative feeling.

It was like,

Oh,

Okay,

Yeah,

It is what it is.

Like when I've tried to do manifestations for things and people say,

Oh my gosh,

Yes,

Imagine it,

Feel it,

Feel good about it,

Keep focusing on it,

Feel the image and the scene.

Every single time I've done that,

Nothing,

Nothing.

But every single time I feel hootless about it,

That's when it comes.

So let's do an exercise together for you to get to this space of integration,

That this thing,

This person,

This opportunity,

It's already integrated into your consciousness.

So this exercise,

I would say the best way to do this is with your eyes closed.

But if your eyes are open,

Because you're walking,

Doing errands,

Driving,

It's fine.

You can also do this with your eyes open as well.

So I want you to just focus,

Focus on the thing,

The person,

The opportunity that you want to materialize into your life.

And just focus on all the thoughts,

The feelings,

The emotions that that brings up.

And without judgment,

Just notice it.

And can you let the feelings,

The thoughts,

The emotions,

Can you let them be as real as they seem?

And can you let them be as unreal as they are?

And just answer honestly,

It could be yes,

No,

It could be maybe,

It could be I don't know.

Just answer whatever comes up for you.

It doesn't matter.

Even if it doesn't make sense,

You might want to answer alien,

Water bottle,

It's fine.

The other than conscious mind does not think in linear ways.

Sometimes it thinks in very abstract ways.

It doesn't necessarily make sense to us.

So just answer however you need to,

Whatever comes up.

You can answer out loud,

You can whisper or to yourself.

And again,

Can you just welcome any thoughts,

Feelings,

Emotions,

Sensations connected to what or who it is you want to materialize?

Is it welcome been allowed?

And can you let it be as real as it seems?

And can you let it be as unreal as it is?

And can you let the thoughts,

Feelings,

Sensations be as real as they seem?

And can you let them be as unreal as they are?

And again,

Can you let them be as real as they seem?

And can you let them be as unreal as they seem?

And can you let them be as real as they are?

And can you just welcome all thinking,

Feeling,

Emotions?

Can you just welcome it all?

Can you welcome the peace,

The stillness,

The emptiness,

In,

Through,

And all,

All of this?

And can you welcome?

Just welcome in this space and time.

Anything else that's here,

Just welcome.

Can you just let it be here?

Just welcome all the thinking,

Feeling,

And experiencing anything that's here now.

And can you welcome the space,

The emptiness,

The peace?

And can you welcome all thinking,

Feeling,

And experiencing?

And can you welcome the peace,

The stillness,

The emptiness,

That's in,

Through,

Within,

All of it?

Okay,

Good.

If your eyes are closed,

You may open them.

Now,

As you think about the thing,

The person,

The opportunity that you want to materialize,

You might notice there's a shift or a change in your consciousness about it,

Your thoughts,

Your emotions about it.

Might be more peaceful,

Might be more quiet,

Might be more neutral,

But there's probably a definite shift after that.

So,

This exercise is powerful and really starts to go really into a deep space to start to go beyond the conscious and really kind of starts to like really dig deep and chip away at some of those other things that might be blocking or preventing some of the things that we want,

And some of the people that we want to come to us.

So,

Hopefully that was helpful.

If you feel like you want to do that one again,

Just go back a few minutes and listen to that last part again,

The exercise.

But hopefully this three-part series was helpful.

Hopefully it offered some clarity that has not been offered anywhere else that I know I personally haven't seen or heard on any other podcast or YouTube video that I've watched hundreds upon hundreds.

So,

Hopefully this was helpful and maybe I'll be coming back here to maybe teach a class or two on the topic and not just talking about ways your manifestations aren't manifesting or materializing,

But really going through exercises like this one,

Like a series of exercises to just kind of help you start to materialize what you want to materialize.

So,

Hopefully you,

Yeah,

Just really just take this in and just take time for yourself,

Just kind of process this entire series on the things that have happened and that you discovered for yourself.

Maybe even do some journaling,

You know,

Write some stuff out to process or talk to someone to kind of process things deeper.

Okay,

Thank you so much and I'll talk to you soon.
