23. Manifestation

Alignment

Sometimes they come as a breeze upon your fingertips; at other times they dwell in the depths of your soul. It is a dance between you and spirit as the magic unfolds.

Manifestation is happening all of the time whether you know it or not. Every word, thought, feeling and action is in alignment with the energy of a future manifestation. This may seem ominous, for surely no one can control every passing thought, but with practice you can shift your general perspective so that your words, thoughts, feelings and actions are in alignment with your goals.

It's a subtle shift at first, such as choosing to smile instead of frown or supporting the success of others rather than spreading gossip. With time you will begin to unconsciously choose the behavior that supports your dreams. This is where the manifestation is happening, in the moments between spells and ceremonies, and it is in these in-between moments that you remind the universe of your commitment to your intentions.

Manifestation has entered your spread because you have not followed through on your commitment to your goals, which could be indicated by choosing anger when you have set an intention for kindness or dwelling in a feeling of lack when you desire abundance. You have attracted more of what you do not desire simply because that is where you have placed your focus. Manifestation is here to encourage you to examine how you can be more in alignment with what you seek: if you are seeking love then it is love you must send out into the world; if you are seeking wealth you must focus on areas of your life in which you already feel a sense of abundance; and if it is success you are after then focus on your previous accomplishments. As you seek the path of positive expression you will begin to flow into the dance of manifestation, allowing the magick to unfold.
