How Beliefs and Fears Shape Our Reality
Recently, I received a fascinating question from a contributor: "Why do I feel so terrible after my college entrance exam, living in fear every day, yet the results came out fifty points higher than expected?" Firstly, it's essential to understand that there is no "only path" in manifestation; even theories from the most authoritative teachers don't have a "correct" method or theory. The essence of manifestation is the assumption rule: everything you assume becomes your reality. Different teachers might have varying definitions and explanations, but the principle is simple, all pointing to one thing: your truth.
Manifestation is about the rule of rules; truth is the belief behind beliefs. And truth, before being infused with awareness, is composed of experiences. Different people, due to their past experiences, have different views and feelings about life. These views gradually accumulate, forming what I call "truth." How you interpret your world dictates how you possess it. Sometimes, truth is not comforting, but the familiarity of repeatedly walking the same path can give us a false sense of security. This is why some toxic old beliefs are particularly attractive.
Returning to the specific question, the first factor involves fear itself. We need to understand what type of fear it is? What are the feelings associated with it? What beliefs support these feelings? The timing and intensity of the fear are also crucial. Have you ever experienced during your student days, paradoxically, having low expectations or fearing a particular exam, only to perform unexpectedly well?
If fear can link to positive outcomes, a belief that "the more I fear, the better the outcome" can develop, strengthening with each occurrence. Thus, fearful manifestation becomes viable, even supported by successful experiences, making it feasible. Essentially, without incorporating consciousness and awareness into our lives, our beliefs and outcomes randomly align without causality. However, as these coincidences accumulate, you're forced to notice this phenomenon, and with increased attention, thoughts gradually become beliefs, then reality, becoming your truth.
The second theory is the theory of relative forces, which excellently explains the 3D state when our beliefs waver. When we waver, we're essentially hopping between beliefs and fears, with outcomes triggered randomly. The manifestation results from the tug-of-war between beliefs and fears. Each encounter creates a new model, existing independently without interference, meaning that increased fear in academics doesn't necessarily increase fear in career or relationships.
In this model, feelings can accumulate. When consciousness withdraws, or in a non-observing state, the model remains static, with neither beliefs nor fears increasing or decreasing. But when 3D encounters similar situations again, this tiny 2D universe is reactivated. If accumulated beliefs are sufficient, even if you're currently fearful or wavering, as long as total beliefs outweigh total fears, the outcome remains unaffected.
The universe's push mechanism is remarkably similar to modern short-video platforms. When we first arrive in the world, we're like a newly created account, with the homepage pushing content unrelated to us. However, as we grow and make choices, consciously or unconsciously, the universe learns our language, tailoring the push content to our selections. The platform doesn't know if you clicked because you dislike something; it increases such content based on your choices (clicks) and reactions (comments, saves, likes). The universe operates similarly, naively thinking you choose based on preference.
The third theory that can explain this is the testing theory. When in a state of oscillation, 3D randomly casts reality, seen as a test from the universe because it's unsure of your preferences. Future realities depend on whether and how you respond, termed "bird-before-land." So, when the opposite result occurs, explaining the cause becomes crucial. If the contributor believes the fear was there to assist, even with fear, the outcome can be favorable.
Without awareness, it's hard to recognize this as just an invitation, a mere "pop-up" about "who you are." It boils down to "you create what you focus on, you create what you choose."
Therefore, manifestation is a deeply personal affair. For both beginners and advanced practitioners of manifestation, a crucial question to explore your current truth is: What does manifestation mean to you, and how do you believe it works? Before awareness, truth is composed of experiences; after awareness, it's built on beliefs. Your definition is crucial for your world, and discovery is the first step of awareness. So, this video leaves you with a small homework: find an undisturbed moment to record your answer to this question: If you were to define and explain, how would you say manifestation works?
