Manifestation Is Identity Made Visible

How to Improve Self-Concept: The Missing Piece of Manifestation

I know manifestation is real because I test it like a fucking psycho. I put myself in situations where I would like to see the teachings I am learning actually influence my reality.

There are three levels to reality creation.

I honestly am starting to dislike the word manifestation because so many people have butchered the definition. When really, you can look it up and Webster says “obvious to the mind,” yet here are thousands of people still spewing outdated shit like, “You manifest from your subconscious.”

No, you don’t. You manifest from your awareness, but not just awareness of anything. You create your reality from awareness of your identity.

Okay, back to the three levels.

Lvl One - Beginning Mode

This is the level where everyone has discovered the secret by now and learned, “Oh shit, we can have whatever we want,” but through your thoughts! So people get obsessed with every thought. They are scripting and affirming like they’re fighting for their virginity in a jail cell. Now, I am not saying it doesn’t work. All thoughts form from ideas, but those ideas form from somewhere else as well.

I see reality creation like traveling. The desire is the destination, and the vehicle is the art of manifesting. Your thoughts are equivalent to a steering wheel. Cool, now turn that steering wheel with no gas. Please, turn the motherfucker.

Oh wait, you can’t because the steering wheel alone isn’t enough to actually move the car. So we arrive at level two: emotions.

Lvl Two - Accelerator Mode

Emotions are gas to our thoughts. Some believe that our thoughts come from our emotions, but I had an experience that says otherwise. According to Abraham Hicks, our reality is reflecting an emotional guidance system, and it’s a spectrum of emotions, but let’s dumb it down to two things. You either feel good or you feel bad, that’s it.

So when you feel good, you can only receive good-feeling thoughts. This is why positive people seem to be lucky to the average pessimist. They do their best to remain positive, and solutions will attract. If you are on the side of the scale of negative emotions like anxiety, fear, and doubt, like a frequency on a radio, you’re only in alignment to receive thoughts that reflect those emotions. It’s not that you’re not trying hard enough or not doing the right action. If you’re not feeling good, solutions are not available to you.

If I want to hear a certain music station on 93.4, I can’t be upset and stay at 66.5 receiving static. Emotions are frequencies, and when you pair them with your thoughts by deliberately feeling good, now your car is moving.

But we see moving cars all the time, and ironically, crashes occur statistically more in cars than airplanes. Gee, I wonder why?

People drive recklessly. For some reason, driving is low stakes to them versus carrying an Airbus 500 feet in the air full of living souls. The identity of an everyday driver is different from the identity of a pilot. This is where self-concept shines like a star in the world of reality creation.

Identity is the kind of vehicle you’re driving. Most people wouldn’t treat a 100K car recklessly like they would an old Volkswagen (no offense, slug bugs).

Lvl Three - God Mode

Identity, aka self-concept, is how you manifest anything you want or don’t want with excellent speed and precision. The universe is a Xerox machine here to copy who you are. You don’t perceive the world objectively. You perceive the world through the eyes of the person. So who is that person?

Self-concept isn’t just affirmations or self-care, as in getting your nails done and facials. Identity is the whole damn vehicle, as in how do you fucking move? What are your behaviors? It is essentially acting.

People hear acting and think it means to pretend, but as some of us know, the best actors don’t make that shit feel like make-believe. If so, you wouldn’t be captivated by the performance.

A true actor participates in a world by becoming someone who aligns with it.

One time, I was traveling on a manifestation experiment where I made money on the fly. I don’t wait until I have the money to go toward what I want, so I would pay for a one-way train ticket with no hotel, no money for food or Lyft (I don’t drive), but I had the belief that by the time I was off the train, I would have everything I need.

On the first few nights, it always works. However, back then I was manifesting on level two only.

It’s midnight in San Francisco, and I am sitting in a hotel lobby that is about to close. I’ve stayed there before, and it was a high-end, funky, creative spot in the heart of Union Square, where all the designer stores are located.

I had no money for a room.

I sat there at the table doing my best to figure out how to receive money. I was in low-key panic mode, but then I remembered emotions are everything. So I began to self-soothe and did whatever I could to be calm (this is the part where knowing yourself really helps). What soothes me may not soothe you, you know?

So anyway, I was calm, sitting at the table, and a worker recognized me. I am dressed to the whole nine yards. I was sitting there with my shoulders back, fancy hat on, like I belonged because I do.

She asks me what is wrong, and I tell her some little white lie about my cards being locked, so I have no access to money.

In that moment, I accept that she will have to kick me out because most hotels cannot allow non-guests to be in overnight. She looks at me with sympathy in her eyes and then leaves.

I’m sitting there wondering what is going to happen next. She comes back with a few bags of chips, a water bottle, and a door key in hand. Not a hotel room key, just an actual key.

The kind worker leads me to a room in the hotel that is normally a playroom with a pool table and multiple chairs. She moves the chairs around for me to lay down and tells me I can stay in there till morning. I honestly was shocked. It wasn’t a room, but it also wasn’t outside in the cold either, and I have been kicked out of less fancy hotels for the same reason.

A year later, I was in the same situation. This time, I was escaping from an abusive family, and emotionally I was fucked. Safe to say I was living in the emotional spectrum of negative emotions for months.

I arrived at the same motel at the same time because of what happened last time I was in this situation, but this time my shoulders were hunched over. I had a beanie covering all of my hair and face. I was ashamed to be there at that moment. No solutions were available to me, and I felt like a fucking bum.

The same woman who helped me a year ago took one look at me and told me they would close in five minutes. Finger pointing to the door with no emotion. It’s business.

Actually, no the fuck it’s not. It’s identity.

The first scenario, I behaved like someone who belonged there, and a year later I showed up like I was someone who hadn’t bathed in days (and that wasn’t even the case. It was the first night in a while I had nowhere to land, and I felt like a failure and hypocrite).

I could be a lame-o and blame my budgeting failures, the “bi-polar” actions of the woman who worked there, hell, Donald Trump, even though I don’t think he was president back then. The point is no circumstances were to blame in either scenario.

Identity is the cause.

Looking back, I can clearly see the stark difference.

How to Improve Self-Concept

Well, it’s honestly simple when I say just fucking love yourself. I mean, what is really wrong with you? You spend every waking moment with yourself, so it’s like high-key insane to hate who you are. Lol, what the fuck. I get insecurities and shit, but damn, don’t be a shady bitch to yourself.

And if that isn’t a great enough sales pitch, I will talk to you directly. You have no fucking choice but to see yourself as an amazing person because everything in your world follows the leader, and baby, the leader is you.

I understand that they don’t teach this in school, but fundamentally everything outside of you is dependent on your relationship with yourself. The more you behave like a person worthy of participating in life, life will play with you.

Now you can go back to the level framework and use them all in order. Think great thoughts about yourself, only highlight cool things you like, and if there are none, get to know yourself better. Please, it’s worth it.

Then do things that make you feel good. Listen to music, watch a good movie, go on a date, hit up Tinder guy, I don’t give a fuck as long as it doesn’t harm you or another, ball out. When you feel good, you can only receive thoughts that align with feeling good, such as positive thoughts, solutions, and clarity.

And then, above all, fuck the affirmations and frequently ask yourself, “Who am I being?” in relation to your desire.

Whatever it is that you desire doesn’t belong to the person you’re being now, and I can confidently say that if you don’t have what you want.

Don’t let that sentence discourage you, but excite you to become a psychotic scientist and see what variable you need to tweak to match the desired timeline.

P.S I don’t want you to be afraid of negative emotions and think they will stop you from living a great life. A negative emotion is just information, treat it as such.

Stop Living in the Fucking Rumble Strip

You know the version of you who drives a car is different from a pilot who is carrying hundreds of passengers. Be honest with yourself, and above all be accepting of who you are. You’re doing the best you can.

I didn’t change my life by changing my circumstances.

I changed my circumstances by changing my identity

Inside out.
