One thing I think a lot of popular LoA or manifesting stuff gets wrong. It neglects to factor in outside influence. It tends to be very solipsistic in its representation and childish, also I’ve noticed a lot of privileged people do well with it. Manifesting to me seems like a giant stew of energy, we’re all in it. But some of it is balanced in favor of others. Simple example, nepotism. A lot of barriers removed there for the energy to flow towards the manifestation.
That’s not an excuse to say it’s all impossible. But I would say that your conviction and self belief has to be about 10x the amount of strength vs an individual sitting in a section of that energy that coasts along. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer just by the nature of the self regenerating beliefs due to environment.
My question is. What are you all doing to balance your internal power with external influences? Or do you feel that your internal power does offset those? I know among everyone on this forum there are varying degrees of how much direct influence individuals have on their reality for their personal growth level. But there’s a difference between trying to convince yourself external circumstances don’t matter vs actually living that reality.
Yes we should all strive for inner strength and command over our own lives. But until you’re there, how do you transcend the outside influences that can act as barriers to achieving what you want? Saying they don’t matter is quite frankly bullshit, they do. That doesn’t mean you give up and play the victim, it means you re calibrate your strategy. With regards to wealth, the landscape in the US has shifted dramatically. I’m not talking rich CEO wealth, I’m talking “I can spend money on quality food without worrying about burning through my paycheck” wealth. Or “I can comfortable make a repair on my car to keep going to work” wealth. And yet here the solution to not having this wealth? Become rich. That’s not a solution, it’s a deflection.
Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on this. I find wealth barriers some of the hardest beliefs to challenge or overcome because you’re effectively born into a societal ranking.
