Manifestation (PLEASE help a newbie!!)

[lexscarlet]

This is a lengthy post with an experience and some background on me so if you don't wanna read the details the main question i have/advice I'm lookin for is basically, what is manifestation, what can it be applied to and do you have to be in an altered state to do it?? If you wanna read the post go 'hed!! I think it may help with whatever advice you provide me if any!! I was reading this other kid's post and says he that "oh, I can just sit there and make things happen." Well I just started reading up on altered mind states / Lucidity / Astral Projection / OOBE... All that lovingly-titled new-age stuff, and I gotta admit I don't think my eyes have been this wide and my brain so open to information, it's like I'm in a rush to learn all this stuff. I bought this Brainwave Generator program and tried a few presets but they seemed to have not too much of an effect on me, mostly because I felt as if I was rushing myself to try it. Anyways, I think to myself a lot, and I was thinking how gorgeously wonderful it would be to have complete control in a dream, to be able to fly, to explore those planets I was so in love with as a kid, to be able to do WHATEVER my imagintaion let me do... Then I thought in a Lucid Dream you have control over your environment/world... And THEN I thought, in the real world you have COMPLETE control over yourself and my mind started wandering aimlessly at the ability to affect your surroundings and "make things happen". Well no shite I go to Ruby Tuesday's to try their new mini burgers and there's this girl there I know. Ok now I know that this sounds shallow as HELL, but bear with me. before I went in there, I mean, on the drive there, I was thinking how that "in-control" mindset could give off a sort of confident, safe aura that people are attracted to. I'm great at relationships but have never had luck with one-night stands, and she nearly THROWS herself at me. I mean really THROWS herself at me, as in, "you know my number, call me when you want it." I know it's shallow but that theme of being able to take a girl home from the bar has been dominant in my life for the past 8 months or so. All my friends I went out with have no problems, and I can't get a damn DANCE never mind that.... Anyways, I go Dunkin Donuts and I make the dude laugh as usual, and he only charges me 1.40 for somethin that shoulda been 4 bucks... Yea, I know.... nothin major, maybe just a good luck streak BUT I WAS THINKING ALONG THOSE LINES before BOTH OF THESE HAPPENED. ie, I was thinking about having that overpowering and uncaring confidence that women seem to be so attracted to, and about how this aura/attitude could get other perks out of life, like people just naturally wanting to hook you up because they feel comfortable and safe around you and you feel safe and harmless towards them and they show the whole "good will towards men" thing. I HAVE NO CLUE how manifestation works, I didn't know it existed til about 15 mins ago when I read the kid's post, but I'm really curious about it. I've always seemed to be able to affect people's moods for the better, I always am able to put a smile on someone's face and people generally feel comfortable, safe and like they could tell me anything... like they've known me their whole lives... like I would do anything for them. Goes for people I barely know too. But on the rare occasion that I'm "down" or angry it's like a damn BLACK cloud follows me and affects people negatively too. I've also always had a wide-open mind, and though I'm a pretty logical person, I have breaks in that logic that are like the opposite end of the spectrum of logic, like beliefs that would contradict said logic. I also consider myself to have an actively open mind to anything new, as physically impossible as it may seem, although I work primarily off of results and can easliy lose hope if I don't see what I'm lookin for. So basically, I'm asking, what is manifestation, what can it be applied to and do you have to be in an altered state to do it?? I have many many more questions, being new to this side of life, but I will float around the appropriate forums. Thanks in advance for any feedback!! !!

That was not a lengthy post, and at least you used paragraphs. Welcome to DreamViews too. What follows are my beliefs. Manifestation is the use of one's will to create an opportunity. Only a narrow mind can limit it's application. One would think it can only be used to do good, but good and bad are relative. Somehow, karma takes care of that. Altered states of consciousness are not necessary, but they do help. I guess now would be a good time to explain how it works. Everything is energy and all energy has a wavelength, so everything vibrates. At all times, we are surrounded by a dense fluid, aether. The density is not constant, so the higher the density the faster energy can propagate through it. Thoughts propagate through the fluid, and if one can tune into their same vibrational frequency, like a radio, then you can hear them. That's basically telepathy. Visual images can be received, as well as emotions (empathy). You seem to be good at sending emotions. Where the altered states of consciousness help is that they take place in higher densities of fluid. That means they can propagate faster, and are likely to manifest sooner. Think about running through air compared to running through water. Water is less dense, and it more difficult to travel through. That's why one can create things in a dream world really quickly. That's the basics. Read through that and let me know if you have any questions. I do have a suggestion though. Manifest a good memory. Sometimes it takes years for things to come true, especially if it is a chaotic thought. You may not even remember asking for it, so having a good memory will make you realize you wanted that. Also, be grateful when something does manifest due to your requests.
