The Seth Manual or "I wanna be a Unicorn"

[SethWilliams]

Note: The contents of this post is based in opinion and personal experience.

I have always believed that we our the creator of our lives. Surely, that's what conscious creation is.

Because of this, I want to share a little metaphorical and whimiscal manuall
So where should we start? Probably at the beginning. And where is the beginning? Who the hell knows.

Once upon a time....

So ill start with how I perceive our lives. ITs a story. And everything in that story is not real. But is real. And the story is being constantly told. By you. Who writes it. Subconsciously mind you, but you write it.

Without knowing really. You believe something, it shows up. Because you see it, it means it true. And you continue believing it. And that makes up one element of your story.

You do this alot really. For many elements of your life. You start to believe something, and BAM its there. So you continue believing it because it has to be true, because its there. Thats what I call the truth loop. By noticing the truth loop you can take control of it.

Are you telling the truth?

Your story is always true to you, isn't it? You don't look out at your life, and say "Well this all a big lie, I'm actually a unicorn" It would hurt your head. If you looked in the mirror and said, "Hey I'm not human, I'm a unicorn" a little sarcastic voice would say "Yeah, and I'm barrack obama, silly human" or something like that. Cause you just don't believe it. You cant take control of the truth loop if you don't believe it.

Cause when you believe it its true, and the truth loops accept it and POP there it is, in visible sight.

So how do you believe something? Well lets look at what WE already believe in. And why we believe it.

We believe whatever we can experience in our physical reality. So cups, our parents. Cheese.

We don't believe in leprechauns. Because we've never experienced a leprechaun. Only on TV. So we believe they must be fake. Which means they are. And the truth loop starts again.

So our physical reality is the main controller of the truth loop. We covered that. It has a way of convincing the sarcastic voice into believing something and hence forth sustaining it in the story.

This is where quantum physics come in handy, because it screws up what we believe about physical reality because it suggests its less real then what we originally believed. Basically making the sarcastic voice mellow down.

You can look in the mirror and say, "Hey, its going to stop raining in a minute" the sarcastic voice will say "What?! no it wont" BUT then you can rebuke with "But quantum physics says the rain is a hologram and can change with perception" making the voice freeze for a moment in confusion, allowing the you to access the truth loop and BELIEVE something new.

AND POP it stops raining. Now depending on how many arguments the sarcastic voice can come up with, you can encounter some resistance to accessing the truth loop. These arguments have been referred to as limiting beliefs.

The way I deal with limiting beliefs is to take it and and say this isnt true, because ... etc, etc and then sending it back to wherever i got it from.

Once you've dealt with all the arguments your sarcastic voice will throw at you, it will allow new things into the truth loop. Allowing new elements to POP into your story.

Hope this has been useful to someone.

Seth.... Why are you typing on that pillow?

But its not a pillow. Its a macbook pro. Its a very soft macbook pro, but its a damn macbook pro.

Which brings me to my next point. Staying true to your manifestation. Staying true to the reality your creating. As Neville Goddard said, "The only sacrifice you are called upon to make is to give up the present concept of yourself and appropriate the desire you wish to express" He forgot to end with, "And then stick with it".

Which brings me to my next point. Once you have accessed the truth loop, intercepted your new truth, convinced yourself its going to happen. Your done.
You need not worry. Need not threat. Need not wait for it happen.

Just move on. Your manifestation will come to pass. You'll only extend the time of manifestation if you threat over it. Let go. Go with god. Have a drink. Bake a cake. See a movie. Just dont let your mind wonder back to your manifestation and worry about whether you did it right. BECAUSE you cant do it wrong if you've convinced yourself of your manifestation.

The invisible blocks

One thing that I have come across, is apparent invisible blocks. Blocks that cant be put into words, blocks that are so primal there beyond emotion and mental conception. The only way ive even come across cleaning these blocks is a cleansing prayer.

I pray to my own god personal god, But it goes something like this "I am asking (your personal diety) to remove, cleanse and free me of any negative energy, limiting beliefs, negative thoughts and feelings concerning the manifestation (your particular desire). Thank you"

This is a much easier way for me ive found then using hypnosis to remove resistance. Im not too sure for anyone else.

Cleansing is not a new idea, many magickal circles and traditions have various cleansing practises, ranging from taking a ceremonial bath to whole cleansing rituals.

Tools of the trade

Practices like visualization, affirmations are just TOOLS. Tools that don't work for everyone. If your not having success with one practice move onto another. Or ask to find a way of manifestation that will work for you.

Practice Makes Perfect

As a practical example of an application of this knowledge, ill manifest a reply to this thread.

We'll start with the cleansing prayer. The cleansing prayer is suppose to take power away from the sarcastic voice. "I am asking god to come into me now and remove, release, cleanse and heal any beliefs, feelings, thoughts and energy that is stopping and blocking the manifestation of a reply to this thread. Thank you".

Now, we apply an manifestation tool. Ill use an interactive visualization.

Seriously though thanks for sharing, I especially like this:

"Staying true to your manifestation. Staying true to the reality your creating. As Neville Goddard said, "The only sacrifice you are called upon to make is to give up the present concept of yourself and appropriate the desire you wish to express" He forgot to end with, "And then stick with it".

I don't like how you imply that everything is here because we believe in it. I would accept your statement if I was born into nothingness and as a child suddenly began believing that a cup, my parents, or cheese exists/will exist. No... I believe a cup exists because it's already been perceived prior to my belief of a cup existing. I would not believe a cup exists right at this moment if I had not witnessed it first hand. Steve Pavlina took this concept too far in his article about subjective reality, by making the idiotic statement that we cannot fly because we do not believe we can. I remember a huge skeptic (or sarcastic voice as you put it) making a thread a couple months back here calling out Steve and questioning his statements. He happily responded and carried on preaching about belief systems, yet when the skeptic told Steve to take a loaded gun and really believe that it would not do him any harm and then shoot himself in the foot, he completely dismissed that.

What I believe right at this moment, I believe because its manifestation already took place. I agree with you that reality isn't set in stone and things can change, but again, I don't like how you imply - along with several other gurus - that everything exists in the first place because we believe in it. We are all one Being on a core level which means each individuals is restricted, depending on how much power he or she possesses. A guy like me could not possibly stop the rain by a simple intention alone, as some things require an intense amount of energy to be influenced. Amounts of energy a human being usually doesn't possess. So while 90% of our reality is created by Us (subconsciously) it can't always be shifted consciously. And I'm open to being corrected. I did not set my mind to this belief of mine and called it quits, but these are the flaws I see with the belief statement.

Just dont let your mind wonder back to your manifestation and worry about whether you did it right. BECAUSE you cant do it wrong if you've convinced yourself of your manifestation.

I find this to be true from experience, but cannot grasp the reason as to why. I've had intense moments where I was 99% positive that I already did create a new reality and it felt as real as anything. I was positive it was going to manifest after the energy I had put into it, but of course I couldn't let it go. They never manifested. I just don't seem to understand what is happening behind the scenes metaphysically.

"Not thinking about it." Sounds like meditation 24/7.

Question is, is you change one tiny thing by your connection with source, where do you draw the line. IMO, you can't just say I can do one thing and not another. And also, its never you(alphamind) creating anything, its the source. In my view, steve would be better using the term source/god/force instead of you when describing subjective reality, because people automatically associate the term you with their ego.

IMO, time is an illusion, and whenever we manifest something, we're just tappng into the divine plan. We're not here to make choices, just understand them. No person is restricted, because we're all equal components of the god force. And when I manifest someone in my life, the other person manifested me at the same time. Chicken and egg...

Everything doesnt exist because you believed in it specifically YOU as in alphamind. As long as SOMEONE believed in it at some point, it will come about. Maybe i should have clarified that?

I dont believe that reality is totally subjective. I believe that other egos are just as real, or unreal as me. The reality around us is a combination of all of our beliefs. I wouldn't even try to convince myself that I can fly. Because I would need to convince most of the population around me that I can fly, or move myself to a location where other peoples beliefs arent interfering with the flow of manifestation.

BUT I do believe you have power over what you can create in your life. Ranging from material possessions, to new relationships. These are things ABOUT your life, and not about whether the human at race can fly.

[alphamind]

Yeah, sorry about my post. I really need to stop posting when I'm angry lol.

I agree with you (Seth and oasis). It is a misunderstanding and a failure from my part in un-filtering what my ego wanted to hear. I feel a lot of people do misunderstand the LOA in thinking it is their ego that creates the reality, when it really is much more than that.

Ms Seth, could you explain why things manifest when we let go of them? I'd assume that dwelling on them emphasizes that they have not manifested which would be the LOA itself. Yet it shows that we aren't really as in control as we may think and that there is a higher power connected to us which influences our physical reality. i.e. finding money on the floor, like some people have experienced. Crazy stuff.

[SethWilliams]

The only way i can explain why things manifest when you let go is because you let the idea out of your head and into the world. Does that make sense?

[SethWilliams]

My desire is bigger then yours!

No it isn't. Desires are all the same size. Well there all the same size in the sense that desires don't have sizes.

No one thing is bigger then the other. The only size it has is the imaginary size we apply to it by how important or luxurious or expensive we think it is.
Its easy to manifest a penny because we view as small and easy. We perceive it as such and because of this it is easier to manifest.

However, a house in terms of creation is no larger then that penny. If we remember this and make this part of our paradigm many things become easier to manifest.

[Acting Like Godot]

In the magickal model of reality (I'm sure Seth knows this, he's just not telling ), your thoughts on an intention give rise to a thought-form, which is like, well, it is like a semi-living semi-sentient discrete entity (composed of your iwn thought energy) which then goes out into the world to attempt to fulfill your intention.

The importance of detachment is that you actually let this thought-form loose, so that it goes out there and arranges whatever it needs to arrange in the universe, in order to fulfill the intention. When you attach, you are holding the thought- form, pulling it back to you, such that it CANNOT go out there and do what it's supposed to do.

I cannot count how many times my ambient thoughts and musings and wishes ended up manifesting. It's mind-boggling. I must have this thought at least a few times, every single week: "Holy crap, I can't believe that thought I had six months ago already manifested!"

A thought-form have so many definitions, but the basic is... an idea thats become semi aware. Theyre not always used for magickal purposes. There are billions apon billions of thought forms, all mushing into each other.

Most thought-forms that are used in magick are created for there magickal purpose.

You take an intention, give it a name, maybe some personality aspects. Concentrate/meditate on it. Do a simple summoning or evokation ritual, charge it with its task and sent if off it the universe.

This allows the magicians to let go because it knows the thought-form is working on there intention.

You dont have evokations and summoning rituals in IM/LOA, so you have to just let go from the get go.

Yes.

There seem to be two sides on LOA or magick. One side keeps energizing the desired intention often, "believing it's already happened" and the other side energizes the thought form once and lets it out into the universe. But as already mentioned there already are way too many thought forms laying around. Which makes me wonder if it would be beneficial to energize a thought form for quite a while and then send it out to the universe. I did get something out of this thread, that it is important to let go of the intention. Frankly its importance never hit me until now.

[pyrogen]

This is very good stuff, Seth. It's in fact just what I needed to read.

My thought on thoughtforms is that they tend to dissipate when not fed. Of course, a thoughtform empowered by many (or mass consciousness) is an egregore.

[VinceG]

One of the things I've found that's been really helpful in my manifesting is, not just finding what I want to happen, but also finding out things that I also want to happen, but conflict with the first desire. For example, I might decide one day I want more computer work. If the intention is pure, then it'll manifest almost immediately. I do a little more computer work, only to decide that it's not really computer work I want.

Now that's what happens when you hold pure intentions. That's the desired outcome. Another way this might go down is that I might think I want more computer work, when actually subconsciously I don't. If this is the case, then more computer work might not happen, and I'll either forget about that weak intention, or I'll sit around wondering why it didn't happen.

The second scenario is what's happening to most of us. We're sitting around, waiting for something to manifest, when what's actually happening is we can't be pure about our intentions. We're always manifesting, but if we've got a confused Intention, then the Manifestation will be similarly confused. People use the LoA to attract more confusion!

Thank you very much Pyro.

There is more to come.

[SethWilliams]

Why does praying work?

I don't know. Maybe it doesn't. Ive seen prayers manifest wonderful things.

I can tell you why I think it does, because you give your power to the prayer by beleiving that a greater power will grant it. But that greater power is just you, a powerful you in the form of a god or religious entity.

Depending on whether you believe in that entity, and MORE specifically what you believe about that entity. Remember your beliefs form your reality, so any god or entity you truly believe is just as real as your left arm.

So praying to an entity, can work. At the same time it doesn't.

How do you use this to your advantage?

Believe in an entity that will answer your prayers. And then pray.

Or believe in an entity that will remove any blocks or limitations from stopping you from manifesting your desires, and then ask them to remove them.

God is a tool. Use it well.

At the same time, you can believe in an entity that will implant new feelings, energys and beliefs that support and even boost your manifestations.

Practical exercise. Believe in your own personal god that loves you unconditionally and wants you to be happy. Form them in your mind and bless them with life by loving them and giving them attention. Then pray to them.

[VinceG]

Prayer works because you're directly aligning yourself with a higher being, be it Jesus, God, or any of the angels/archangels. These beings definitely exist, and there's other ways to communicate to them than via prayer.

Prayer's about the highest form of magick the esoterically uninitiated has access to. So use it!

Really, if you look at alot of magickal practise from different tradition there is some kind of godhead.

Ritual involving a god is a kind of prayer. Its just more theatrical then praying at the end of your bed.

Yes of course these being exist. But only as much as you do. Or I do.

[XxNatyxX]

Pretty good thread Seth! I was asking you in another one of your threads how you are able to help others with manifesting... this makes pretty good sense. It is true that detachment is key to manifesting... but as much as i already know this i still have a hard time doing it... especially when i desperately want something to happen.....

That's been my way of thinking also. Out of the many potential realities that exist, it sounds right that the reality energized the most will manifest. Energizing a desired reality just once doesn't really ensure that it will manifest.

Another thought I'm having is about alignment with the vibrations of different realities. A person who has never been successful with money for example, always living in poverty and scarcity, cannot simply energize once a reality that holds the opposite vibration (riches and prosperity) and expect it to manifest. That reality would have to be given attention more than once in order to align the person's vibration with that reality, so it can manifest.

Unless spells are truly magical and can switch a person's karma just like that. In that case i will have to look more into spells.

You'll fins many spells are recommended to bw cast for.a series of days. It also depends on thw faster. Advanced magick workers can energise intentions just once and bring about large change. Of course there use to it, so there minds don't have an issue with magickal results.

Another tip: when you're working on a fairly large goal, but are beset with a lot of little hassles (story of my life for the past year - hassle after hassle after hassle - I sunk into a very deep depression at one point and even lost belief in LOA for a while because of all the little hassles) it doesn't mean your manifestation isn't working. Try to stay calm and look at it in terms of how far along you actually are toward your goal. All the hassles do not mean that the world has turned against you. take the long view/look at things from the top down. Your spell is still active and who knows, maybe all the little hassles are part of the plan.

As you know, I set in motion last year something I called "time travel
manifestation"... I.e., a very long range working with its release date in about august of 2012. so for all I know, everything I've endured since July or August of 2010 has been part of it. I've been through some very serious knocks since then but also some life changing revelations when it comes to self knowledge.

I've had some serious rewiring of my brain since then. The first few
weeks of that work were really strange... Almost a sensation of time racing really fast. And a lot of time when it feels like I cannot get a single thing done (but I am, I've completed a lot of school since 08/10). Some of my understanding of the "flow" concept (Summer McStravick) has me understanding now that I may be in the "trough" period, sort of where the slingshot has to be pulled back before it can
be shot forward. And maybe something I am learning from these little hassles (mostly bureaucratic crap, but it's had me in tears some days) will figure into what will snap into place on 08/05/12.

Most spells will not work that way. Most will be shorter - a month or so.

By the way, I had to really really think n order to realize that my troubles coincide roughly with the beginning of my time travel experiment. I do not even remember now what in the heck I was manifesting. Many spells will be like this - when they have actually been released to work, you may not remember them.

[truant]

OT @pyrogen: A tip for you in return: watch your diction. 'Hassle' has negative connotations which frame the event as a 'problem' instead of an opportunity, which it equally is. You are free to chose how you label events, but 'opportunity' is going to be more fruitful for you. Learned after a lifetime of 'hassles'. <-
