I just had an analogy pop into my head about this.

Manifestation is like one of those automatic glass doors they have at the supermarket. There is a barrier but as you approach that barrier, you know it is going to yield to you. It only appears that it is closed. You walk with confidence and the doors open, and you don't walk right into the glass of a closed door, hurting yourself and feeling embarrassed. You walk into the store and get what you came for.

The key is that the door opens on its own. You don't force it.
