Does Manifestation Work?

Manifestation, or the law of attraction is the idea that we can transform our abstract intangible thoughts, wishes and deepest desires into reality through the power of imagination. Is there any truth to this ideology? Or is it just a misleading ruse that’s dangerous for us to promote to the public, particularly, young people?

    If manifestation actually worked, the millions of children growing up without a father would have their dads, the droves of homeless people in our world would have homes, and the plethera of cancer patients waiting to die would be cured…. Just saying.

    Manifestibg is 100% real. Ive truely used it a number of ttimes to get jobs, girlfriends and much more. But its clearly more than just "think it and itll happen" its actual work ubdo with ur brain, then obviously some work in real life. Its not for lazy ppl

    In my opinion, manifestation is an incredible idea, and it really is true that sometimes what you think can become a reality. However, the whole ideology has it pitfalls, and it's definitely not for me.

    What you said is true but hear me out manifestation creats bias towards something bit if used right… it can be very helpful… red jeep for example if you manifest a way that helps you get it your brain my lean toward situations that gives you the opportunity of getting a red jeep… basiclly your ideas attention and focuses will go towards the posibilities of getting the jeep and with the positive imagination and the motivations from that for taking actions and useing the oppurtunites that your mind has picked up witch could have been overlooked if you wasnt fixated on the idea you wil have better chances at achiving your goal or "manifasting" it… thia is how i used it and it works…
    In total you may still have to hard work very much for your goal but with this manifestion mathod you will have helps from "a higher being" or "the universe" or what ever you want to call it (i call it the subconsious mind) for an easier and shorter way to success

    The modern people have misinterpreted the law of attraction, law of attraction is about mentality, like attracts like, if you want to have ambitious people around you then become ambitious yourself first. Law of attraction is mentality and the way we talk about it today is mindset. Mentality is synonymous to mindset.

    I dont think that manifesting is the same as neglecting. It’s something that goes beyond just imagining, it’s about focusing, putting effort/working and “releasing” to the universe too. It’s a whole pack.

    The way i see manifestation is, that you align yourself entirely with what you want. You dont actually sit back and relax, knowing that ''you will have what you want''. Instead, you go on to become what you want. You put your entirety to the goal and thus, it works in the long run. For this to work, actions are essential. physical and spiritual work together, in order for any accomplishment to be realised. Thats what i understood from Proctor's words at least. If we are to talk about someone thinking of success and just rest on their pre-decided fate, we are essentially talking about mental-masturbation, rather than manifestation.

    manifestation goes beyond of anything physical like those that believe in things like crystals, chakras, etc. manifestation is combining the ideology of realism and optimism. when you manifest for a good week, you are opening yourself to all realities of any situation. when you manifest in abundance and expecting to come to you within a couple days is nearly illogical. there comes a day when everything you wished for will come to light and when you think about how it got there, those manifestations will resurface and remind you of where you started. this is all certainly my own opinion and what has helped me tap into my eternal wellness.

    While despite lots of trying i couldn't break my logic barrier and completely believe it and give it a real shot myself, i think even if it doesn't work, it's an overall good trend. Ofc like everything in the world it can harmful in extreme but in moderation it can help us be more positive and peaceful towards things we cannot change, make our minds fixated on our goals therefore we are most likely try more to achieve them and lastly make us an overall more pleasant person to others as they mostly preach being in good mood etc.

    have you heard of the moldy rice experiment? its very similar to the freezing water experiment, but you speak these words to 3 jars of rice. the one with negative emotions grows mold at a fast rate. then there's a neutral and positive thought jar as well. the positive rice can last pas a week

    I personally believe the only circumstances under which "manifestation" works, is when you're also willing to put in the work required. It's all fine and dandy to visualize a goal, or what not, but that goal isn't gonna magically appear, without you taking action. And I guess, under those circumstances, it isn't really "manifestation" anymore.

    Re the snowflake experiment — could sound waves have influenced it? Typically, when people speak positively, they use a different tone of voice. A softer tone, perhaps. When speaking critically/negatively, their tone of voice is harsher…. maybe this could have affected the waves of sound hitting the crystals as they froze? Idk, I'm no scientist, just extremely noise sensitive, lol

    Thank you so much for this clear, sober, and helpful approach on manifestation.
    The middle ground between euforia and utter depression is how I see the path of that this video is moving on.

    The method from such books, and especially Zero limits J.V. working for 100%. It tasted in my life, my friends tasted it too. So, it's hard to believe in the begging, but when you actually see, what it does, you starting to believe. Now, without doubt I can advise people to transform their thinking, to become more healthy, successful and happy! Thanks Joe)

    The golden Way is the best.
    Imagine what one can effectively do, and consider what can go wrong.
    Do accordingly.
    Easy to say…bit more difficult to do…but definitely doable.

    Unfortunately, there is way more to this that you have not covered. It would make the video long, but there's so much more to the idea of manifestation than what it seems like from this video. You might have placed too much focus on the dumbed-down, popularized version of the concept. Breaking The Habit Of Being Yourself is a good book for those who want to do some experiments with this for themselves. And while it does contain a lot of pseudo-scientific elements, that doesn't mean the technique itself doesn't work.
