Basically it is all a recognition of your higher self. Something that is beyond your ego. Creating from the ego sure does work, however it is much more effort and it does not lead to be in flow.
The more you are aware of your intuition and your passion the more you will use your intention to manifest toward this. It is nothing you do, it's just the opposite. You allow to use your mind to express and manifest what's coming from your higher power.
