When I go to the grocery store and grab 1lb. of ground chicken for my tacos, I manifest 1lb. of ground chicken on a styrofoam dish right there in that moment. It didn't come off a truck, it didn't come from a factory farm, it came from my consciousness. Now. Nothing died. I manifested ground chicken. Ok.

But.... I (and the entire human race it seems) also have a habit of manifesting denial with my experience. So I no longer have "the moment" but a past now manifests for this chicken and a process that got it into my hands. A process is a set of steps that happens over time. Right there I know I'm playing with denial. I'm playing with past and I'm playing with linkage (the steps in the process). Manifestation needs no process or set of steps, it happens, now, without effort.

So I manifest a back-story for this chicken because my consciousness believes in time and linkage. It looks like this: At a farm the chicken is born --> raised --> brought to slaughter --> put on refrigerated truck --> arrives at my supermarket --> I buy the chicken. That's all unnecessary, but I manifest it along with my choice to have chicken tacos tonight.

And I make it a much more emotionally charged subject by pretending the animals behave, think, and feel like humans. So now I get in a fight with myself about morals and ethics and all sort of other distractions and am totally lost on the fact that my choice manifests in the moment (which is really where my consciousness needs to go). I'm choosing chicken and I'm choosing to experience denial in the forms of past and linkage and I want to blame it on society, farmers, meat-eaters, etc., because I don't want to receive I'm playing the denial-game with my choice.

Well.... that's one way to look at it I guess....
