A Distraction On The Path: Focusing On Manifestation

A common distraction or obstacle in your journey of freeing yourself from suffering and discovering true peace is getting lost in manifestation and other new-age concepts. While this movement is very popular (and even something I taught at one point), the practice actually keeps you trapped in many ways.

I agree so múch. Thanks a lot fór saying IT loud.

Great talk! I always like hearing the other side of things.

Great explanation of what I felt intrinsically and good reminder of the pitfalls of desire.

Something to think about. The problem with 'manifestation' is attachment to outcome. If I have a 'real' or 'pure' need or desire, of course, as a human being, I will yearn to have that need met in some way or other. I find it works best for me to release the desire (when I am present enough to do so), unattached to possible outcomes constructed in or by my mind. Admittedly, this can be tricky if one needs the basic necessities, food, shelter, companionship. In extremis, one doesn't need to spell out the desired outcome. With regard to First World desires, however, it is perhaps best to 'purify' them - release them as energy, and patiently observe what happens. Easier said than done, I acknowledge. 🙏🏻💞

Thank you, makes so much sense to me.
