Mastering the Manifestation Process

Inspired Action is the result of what happens when Creative Source Energy, Spirit, is in alignment with our thoughts, feelings and actions. It is through our actions that we actualize our thoughts and feelings into reality. The manifesting process is always active. Our thoughts, feelings and actions are manifesting reality in every moment of our daily lives. When Spirit is the guiding force of these creative powers our daily lives become an experience of Inspired Action.

The Law of Attraction teaches us that part of the manifestation process is that you attract into your life whatever you think about. Simply put, your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest into the physical reality of your daily life. So, we called upon the creative powers of the mind, our thoughts and feelings, to focus attention on the highest vision it could possibly conceive. Thereby we attract into our lives the vibrational energy needed to manifest that highest vision.

However, thought alone does not actualize into reality although it does effectively participate in the manifestation process. Along with the creative powers of our mind we must also call upon the creative powers of our physical body, our labors and efforts. It is through labor and effort that we manifest in this reality as our thoughts and feelings align us with Source Energy.

We are in action all the time. Our labors and efforts are manifesting our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and feelings to reality whether we are aware of it or not. As the LOA encourages us to align our minds with the desire for a higher vision for our lives so to must we align our action with that same desire. When this alignment happens we are now living our lives through Inspired Action.

Often we find ourselves doubting our actions as they have proven to be untrustworthy in the past. Inspired Action is cultivated through the art of allowing. One must learn to allow their actions to be guided by the inspirations of Source Energy, or Spirit. This can be a tricky process.

The physical body is generally pre-occupied with using its creative powers to manifest survival. Might I say here that it is very good at it. It can also be very challenging to get its attention or to get it to lift its head up. The physical body knows what it needs in order to survive and it has the creative power to manifest it.

If that is not challenging enough for you, your mind is processing through a myriad of thoughts and feelings in every moment.  Metaphysical manifesting brings our thoughts and feelings together and channels them as the Source Energy that fuels the manifestation process. Cultivating the power of the mind focuses our thoughts and opens us up to the Divine communication between Ego and Spirit.

So, how does one know if the action they are about to take has been inspired by Spirit and will result in the desired manifestation?  Sometimes what we thought was a gentle “nudge” from Spirit turned out to be a hard shove down a flight of stairs. Knowing, or trusting, that you are taking inspired action comes with practice over time. It requires being aware of the Source Energy behind the actions that worked and the ones that failed to produce the desired result.

As we align ourselves with Spirit, through trial and error the Universe guides us, although at times not so gently, down the path necessary to manifest of our deepest desires and highest vision. At first, as we set out to master the manifestation process, like infants we stumble and fall. Here, patience and perseverance are our allies; never letting go of the vision until ultimate manifestation. Each failure inspiring a deeper alignment with Spirit.

Allowing one’s actions to be inspired by Spirit or Divine inspiration is a result of a deep cultivation of the Ego-Spirit relationship and a blending of the Physical and Metaphysical manifesting processes. This is where it all comes together; now our conscious thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and feelings are manifesting themselves into reality through our actions. These Inspired Actions are happening as the result of a clear and steady communication with Spirit as it freely manifests through us ~ “Spirit In Action”.

As Inspired Action brings a harmony to the manifestation process a conscious partnership develops between the creative power of our minds and the creative power of our bodies. After a period of time the two begin to work as one and there is no longer any separation between the Spiritual world and the Physical world. Your life has now become an expression of spirit in action as your highest vision manifests itself right before your very eyes.

It is through Inspired Action that we actualize the union of opposites, the Divine marriage of masculine and feminine, the Yin and the Yang, the Above and the Below and Spirit becoming flesh. Spirit has integrated itself into our physical lives.

~John Lennon

From our childhood we are all encouraged to dream. Think about all the dream questions we toss about our society. We are asked what is our dream job, dream home, dream partner, dream car or dream world just to name a few. Without a doubt we all have dreams. Not only are we all capable of dreaming up new and different realities, we all do. Throughout our lives we spend our time daydreaming as we dream up different and better futures, relationships, jobs and world societies.

However, it takes more then just dreaming. Gandhi said to be the change you want to see. Well, I say to you now to live the dream, to express your dream outwardly and that you must, above all else, Be the Dream.

I understand that this is a great responsibility and by all means no small task. It is as King Arthur calling forth his Knights of the Round Table and setting them on the great quest for the Holy Grail. By taking on this quest, the responsibility of living your dreams, you become like one of those noble Knights. You are now on the path of becoming a Dream Warrior.

Like with all warrior paths there are phases, or stages the Warrior must pass through in order to successfully achieve his great quest. I lay before you now the three primary stages or actions of a Dream Warrior. Keep in mind that this is but a glimpse of the path, a simple introduction. If you are willing to heed the call, take up the challenge, the rest shall be revealed to you.

The Three Stages of the Dream Warrior

In the first stage the Dream Warrior takes the time to dream. As with all Warrior paths taking time to meditate is imperative before action. The Dream Warrior spends time visualizing and sees the dream clearly. Meditating on the dream brings specific details necessary before action can be taken.

It is during this meditative stage that the Dream Warrior learns the path necessary to take in order to bring the dream into reality and develops the patience that comes before action. The Warrior does not act impulsively, but with a clear and calm mind as he enters into the second stage.

In the second stage the Dream Warrior brings the dream into reality. As meditation and visualization were the tools the Warrior used in the first stage, here in the second stage the Warrior’s gifts are deliberate and effective action. With a clear and calm mind the Dream Warrior embarks on the great quest of manifestation, bringing the dream into reality.

This is likely the longest and most trying of the three stages. Here the Warrior learns perseverance. The path of the Warrior is as sharp as a razors edge and he will surely slip from time to time. Even though the Warrior seems to be defeated he continues on, to the end, with a burning desire to achieve the dream.

In the third stage the Dream Warrior encourages all around him to become Dream Warriors. At this stage the Warrior realizes that it is not possible to create the dreams of others or to create his dreams into the reality that belongs to others. He knows that it is each individual’s responsibility to manifest their own dreams. With this knowledge he embarks on the path of Exemplar. The Dream Warrior now becomes an example for those he comes into contact with who, like him, want to achieve their dreams.

Your Call To Action

My Beloved Friends… It is the call of your King, The Universe, for you to take on the noble challenge and dare to dream. Suit up, go to your sacred houses and dare to dream. And while you are dreaming, alone and at peace in your sacred vigil, illuminate your dream with all the brilliant colors that this world has to offer.

Now, Great Knight, rise to your feet, go forth into the world and with every breath that you take and with every action of your being call forth your dream into existence before your very eyes.

And along your journey on the quest for the holiest of holy, be a radiant example to all whom shall see you and uplift them with the knowledge that they too can be like you, a Dream Warrior.

The question that I have, is that the way you want your life to be? Is your story of “the way of the world” the way you want the world to be? Simply put, is the story you tell the way you want your “reality” to be or is it the about the “reality” you are in?

I hear from people, in regards to their current daily lives, stories that seem to be mostly about lack. I don’t have enough time. I don’t have enough money. My job or my wife doesn’t appreciate me. I can’t afford this or I can’t afford that. Then, these stories of lack move into their world view. There isn’t enough food. The price of gas is too high. We are always at war and there is no peace. We are in a financial crisis. There are no jobs. There is a global threat of nuclear war. Our children are not safe, we are not safe.

I have a few friends that say to me, “Well Jonathan, I just tell it the way it is.” Or even yet they say, “I’m a realist.” My Dad says, “That is just not how the world is“. Parents tell their children, generation after generation, that they need to live in the “real world”. The “real world” you say. Well I, for one, am done living in the real world.

The world we all live in together is a culmination of the collective stories that we are all telling and believing in. Our individual personal lives are a direct manifestation of what we believe is true about ourselves and our situations. The question comes back around for me again and again, is this the world of which we want to live in, that we want to raise our children in? Isn’t it time to start telling a different story?

Fantasy does become reality!

It is not important, or even relevant, if the story you tell is the truth of reality or not. What is important is that it is about the reality you want. If the reality in your life is what you want then keep on telling that story, but if not, it is time for a change. As you go throughout your daily routines, take time to notice the story you are telling and believing in, for that is the reality you are creating. It has not been created for you, you have conjured it up all on your own through the stories you have been telling.

Here’s the kicker, the story comes before manifestation not after. 99 percent of all creation takes place in the vibration which we align ourselves with before we see any piece of physical manifestation. We do not align ourselves with the vibration of the manifestation; manifestation aligns itself to our vibration. Vibration comes before manifestation. We must first align ourselves to the vibration of the reality we want.

Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world”. You must first “be the change” before the world will change. If you do not first align yourself with the vibration of the way you want the world to be, there will be no change.

How do you know if you are aligned with the vibration of what it is you want? Be mindful. Ask yourself if the stories you are telling make you feel good. Your feelings are your inner guidance system. Follow your feelings. As Joseph Campbell said, “Follow your bliss”. Wouldn’t you rather live in a world where everyone was following their bliss, where you were following your bliss? Ask yourself over and over again; “how do I feel” and “how does this make me feel”. Then, follow your bliss!

Set out in each moment of your lives to conjure up a new vibration. Summon up, as if by magickal or supernatural powers, a new reality. Evoke, call or bring to mind a new story that will influence or as if by magick effect the change of how you want your world to be. You have the power to change your life simply by telling a different story.
