3 Shocking Manifestations I Never Wanted
I reveal three unwanted manifestations that may seem mundane but prove that there truly are no idle thoughts and that everything manifests in your life somehow.
I suddenly need glasses
I am a very private person. I’m not too fond of social media, and I don’t like exposing my name and face to the internet. Perhaps my policing background causes me to be so careful, or I’m just holding on to my anonymity.
I’ve always had perfect vision and was proud of my eyesight. All that changed in the span of a few weeks this year. You might be forgiven for assuming it’s just an age thing, and I’ll let the insult slide. Just this once!
I’ve gotten used to seeing mind-matter patterns everywhere, and when something happens in my life or the lives of others, I always ask this question:
“What within me (or them) is causing this situation to manifest?”
Whether we realize it or not, we are always the source of everything in our lives. Sometimes, it takes some digging to figure out the inner cause of outer experiences.
Not this time. There was no doubt in my mind as to what caused it. You’re going to laugh and think me crazy, but I’ve seen too much to allow coincidences and random aging to explain things with such a clear connection.
I changed my profile image on my publications and social media to a more personal and relatable one. Since I wasn’t going to reveal this pretty face without some alterations for privacy’s sake, I chose an image of me wearing sunglasses and then had an artificial intelligence program meddle with it some more.
Anyway, the image that ended up representing me and that I was now watching for hours every day as I worked was—you guessed it—an image of me with glasses.
After forty years of perfect vision, it only took two or three weeks for me to notice a significant deterioration in my eyesight. So much so that I experienced consistent headaches and was forced to buy glasses for working on the computer, like an old timer!
So, here’s the lesson, dear ones
If you’re choosing an avatar to represent you or plastering your image somewhere where you see it often, select an image you aspire to become, not something you don’t want manifesting in your reality.
The glasses in that image may originally have been sunglasses, but the universe is very literal in her interpretations, so I now wear freaking glasses every time I look at a screen. Yey.
From buying a new car in my mind to selling cars for a living
For the longest time, I’ve struggled to imagine having more wealth. Nothing I affirm or imagine sits quite right. It’s all so intangible to me. I just can’t hit that feeling, and my wallet reflects this inability, penny for penny.
I was unemployed for a few months back then, and nothing was moving on that front. I then decided it was time to deliberately manifest a job and declared that a job would find me. I was determined I wouldn’t have to send a single CV out anymore. Someone will call me and offer me a job.
When I catch myself bangin’ my head on a wall, not making any progress through my actions, I force myself to “let go and let ____ (insert your deity or universal manifestation force) take over.” So I did. No more trying because it’s already done. I already have a job. End of debate.
This is part one of the story. I told my parents about this plan, and they looked at me like I had fallen on my head. “You’re just going to magically manifest a job and not even look for it, ey?”
In the meantime, I kept on dreaming of having more money. I imagined shaking hands with the car salesman and buying a brand-new luxury car. In my mind, that meant that I had abundant money since I only bought used, old, worn-out cars.
So, what did this manifestation combo result in?
No, not a new car, though I eventually got a newer one from that avenue. It resulted in an out-of-the-blue call from an acquaintance offering me a job selling luxury cars.
I hadn’t talked to him in over a decade, and he just happened to need someone he could trust and had heard about me looking for a job. Long story short, I spent the next year shaking hands over that table I envisioned; I just happened to be on the other side. I was the seller, not the buyer!
The exact picture from my mind has manifested itself literally, but again, the universe misunderstood the meaning behind it. I played myself.
Something similar happened when I was dreaming of a new motorcycle of a specific brand and model. Silly me, I thought it would work this time, but I ended up working for a company that organizes motorcycle trips and taking care of about eighty of these exact motorcycle models, still none of them mine. Ah, the irony!
The lesson here is
be careful what you wish for and what you envision in your mind. The universe will manifest the literal images you paint in your mind but may assign them a different meaning. Paint wisely, dear friends.
The last undesired manifestation is not for the sensitive among you. Puritans, close the window. Two out of three ain’t bad.
Silly phrase causes pain in the most unlikely place
So, this one is a bit trickier to explain. English is not my native language, as you might have surmised from my clunky writing style.
In my native language, there is a saying I like to use that means something like: “I don’t give a f***!” The closes to a polite translation would be: “My dick hurts!”
Yes, this means “I don’t care,” but with an exclamation mark. I know. Language is funny. Anyway, I use this phrase a lot. I’m a bit of a potty mouth. I’m not proud, but it’s what comes naturally to me. I’m only pretending to be a civilized literary wordsmith while being an undercover rusty man-child of the nineties.
I’ve had issues with pain in the region mentioned above for some time. Nothing was physically wrong with me. Still, the pain was ever-present. One day, while googling for possible problems, it hit me!
“Goddamnit! I did it again. I keep saying, “My dick hurts,” and even though I mean, “I don’t care,” the universe keeps making my childmaking machinery hurt!” I played myself again without ever being the wiser.
The lesson here is always to be mindful of your words
Even if you mean something innocent, these words will manifest themselves literally in your life, and you won’t even realize the damage you’re causing until it’s too late.
PS: Yes, I stopped using the term, and it stopped hurting just like that. It’s not even funny.
Having told all these stories, I now feel naked and exposed. Oh well. Perhaps it will ignite a lightbulb for some of you about the possible connections between your thoughts and imaginings and what you are experiencing in your life.
Be well, and good luck with recognizing the mind-matter connections in your life.
I would ask you to like, comment, and share, but maybe not this story. It’s a tad bit personal and embarrassing. Save it for the next one. Let this be our little secret, dear reader.
