In this second article on the super-skill of manifesting realities, we go deeply enough into the mechanics for you to actually start using the Wu Wei method effectively. It's radical and it's potent.
Training
The reason the chance is so slim in my estimation (based on working with thousands of people on the manifesting process over many years via various books, including Manifesto and Pure, as well as web-based material and coaching) is that in order to hone your intention and then put the requisite intricate skills involved in the act of visualization into practice, requires a particular mind- and energy-set, which generally needs quite a thorough training.
As does engendering the requisite congruence and tone to your relationship with the Tao, the presence informing the movement of all phenomena and the subsequent development of all situations.
The training in fact is not so much to learn new tricks, as to unlearn old patterns that block you from your natural state, whence springs the power necessary to manifest different realities with precision and elegance.
Allow the Tao
However, one of the more striking differences between the time-honoured ancient wu wei (stress-free achievement) Taoist system of manifesting the reality you want and other systems, is its underlying ethos.
This rests on desisting from assuming you know how things should turn out for your highest possible good and that of all those who sail with you and instead relying on the Tao, the Great Flow to decide that for you.
Just as with channelling the regenerative force for healing purposes, where you have to be willing to surrender your agenda and step out of the way to allow the healing miracle or quantum shift to occur of itself, manifesting different realities also depends on letting go of the erroneous notion that your rational mind knows best.
So rather than risk limiting how magnificently reality can unfold if you give it due space, by defining your desired outcome too specifically, the supercharged way is to choose your outcomes in broad-based, fundamental terms referenced solely to the experiences you wish to enjoy, as opposed to the affects of the experiences (the physical and material details).
The nuts
For instance, if you start off wanting to manifest acquisition of a horse, you’d ask yourself what experience owning that horse would provide. It might be, say, a sense of aliveness, added height, oneness with the animal world, a strong pair of thighs, a sense of freedom and exhilaration and so on.
What you’d do then, is visualize yourself looking and feeling alive, at one with the animal world, eight feet tall, powerful of thigh, free and exhilarated. You’d do this trusting the Tao to shunt all material factors into the perfect position to facilitate the desired experience, even if the way it finally did that had absolutely nothing to do with the equine world at all.
Within the chosen time-frame, usually between 30 to 90 days, which is on average how long it takes to manifest a quantum jump of any sort once you know what you’re doing, you will then indeed find yourself enjoying exactly the experience you wanted and it will hit the spot so well, you truly won’t care if it came about by owning a horse or not.
It’s never really things and situations we want, even if we really think it is, it’s experiences.
Subscribing to this is the essence of the state of acquiescence, attainment of which is intrinsic to successful Taoist practice.
You guide in the experiences you want rather than force or contrive them into being.
And the reward is not even in manifesting the experience you want, though that of course is most satisfying, but in knowing yourself in relation to the Tao, knowing yourself to be in dialogue with it.
That’s the reward.
It’s a spiritual, existential one and the material and physical benefits attained merely add colour and tone.
What happens in practice
What actually happens, horses aside, is you get a view of how things seem to be going and where they seem to be leading. You look at it and decide yes, you’d like things to go that way, if they’re meant to, if it’s in accord with the way of the Great Flow. Then you say to the Tao in all humility, “Tao, if this is the way things are meant to go, I’m well up for it. Provide me everything and everyone I need to succeed in manifesting its full potential benefit for me and everyone else involved. And if it isn’t the way things are meant to be, bring me something even better.”
And then you let go.
You let go and allow things to develop of themselves.
Of course, to be able to do any of this, you need first to develop supreme mental clarity and focus and that will be the topic for the next supercharged article I post here on the site.
Meanwhile I’m letting go and allowing things to happen of themselves with this site and am starting to love the vision that’s forming of a fantastic training system in the Taoist super-skills.
It’s all about context determining content.
And it’s a beautiful thing to be part of it with you.
