This article aims to shed light on the concept of manifestation in a rational way – as far as rationality is an applicable term in a world so imbued with materialism that the understanding of dualism, the two sides of the coin, is nearly lost. One might liken it to a situation where the surface has become so important that the gift box is valued higher than its contents, or where we focus on the shadow and forget the light that created it. Such is the state of the Western world today – we are like drunken sea captains on open waters, navigating with a broken compass and a rudder stuck in maximum right. Our spiritual GPS is out of charge, yet we believe ourselves to be the pinnacle of civilization. This is the result.
However, amidst the chaos, there is an order to be discovered – if we dare to look beyond the surface. This is where manifestation comes in, as a method to reconnect with the balance between the inner and the outer, between what we believe and what we experience. Manifestation is not about magic or quick success; it is about understanding the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and the reality we create.

Many seek quick solutions for various aspects of life – relationships, health, success – and are drawn to the idea of manifestation. But manifestation is not magic in the sense many believe. It is a deeper process of understanding and transforming how we perceive the world and ourselves. When we realize that our external reality reflects our internal thoughts, manifestation becomes a tool for both introspection and transformation.
I view the world as a story without facts. There are no absolute facts – only narratives. Everything we experience is part of a greater narrative where we are both the creator and the experiencer of the story. The first time one encounters this idea, it’s easy to dismiss it as nonsense, but I will delve deeper into explaining this later.
We can use money as an example to illustrate this. Our beliefs about money are part of this narrative, and by rewriting our story, we can change how we relate to value, security, and opportunities. But this is not just about money – it applies to all areas of life. Manifestation is about changing how we view our goals, which in turn changes how we act and what we attract.
Our experience of reality is shaped by archetypes – fundamental patterns that help us interpret the world and ourselves. Fittingly for tarot, the Major Arcana consists precisely of archetypes. Each moment is a transformation from energy into experience, and behind this illusion of separation, we are the very essence that transforms energy into form, thereby creating the reality we perceive.
Physics also supports this perspective. The double-slit experiment in quantum physics demonstrates that a wave collapses into particle form when observed. Before observation, reality exists as a wave of possibilities; upon observation, the wave collapses into a specific reality – the one we choose to observe. This suggests that reality is not fixed and objective but is shaped by how we interact with it. In other words, the reality we observe is the one we choose.
This insight changes how we view ourselves and our possibilities. We realize that we do not just experience reality – we create it through our focus and intentions. Our ability to manifest is directly linked to this process. The potential arising from this is vast and filled with opportunities, but it also requires responsibility. When we understand that our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality, we also realize that the same power that can create success and abundance can create obstacles and problems if not directed with awareness.
Many associate the term ”trip” with psychedelic experiences – opening the mind and seeing beyond the ordinary. But that is merely a demo version, a glimpse into the potential of the dream machine. The real trip is life itself. We are already living it, believing it, and experiencing it fully – intensely and in every sense ”real.” Life is the grand adventure where, by exploring contrasts like lack and abundance, fear and trust, we learn more about what we truly are.
Manifestation begins when we realize that the obstacles we face are often not external but internal. Our relationships, goals, and dreams reflect our thoughts, fears, and beliefs. When we understand this, we see that the blocks are not outside of us. It’s about changing our internal narrative to change our external reality.
More than one person has said that the external is a manifestation of the internal. This is known as ”As above, so below,” a phrase deeply rooted in Hermetic philosophy. However, from another perspective, it is often associated with the literal interpretation of Abrahamic religion, which, in my view, serves as a stumbling block to real understanding. The expression itself, however, is powerful at its core – pointing to the connection between what we carry within and what we experience outside.
When we apply this to manifestation, it’s about understanding that our external reality is a reflection of our internal thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. What we perceive as obstacles or deficiencies outside of us is often a direct result of our inner narratives and assumptions. ”As above, so below” then serves as a reminder that the inner and outer are not separate but two sides of the same coin – and that change begins with turning inward.
The expression also highlights the importance of understanding that transcendence does not mean ignoring or denying the material and physical but realizing its connection to the immaterial. When we begin to work with the inner, the outer changes as a natural consequence. It is not magic – it is a process where our thoughts and intentions create new opportunities through how we choose to interact with the world.
To manifest something – whether it is love, health, success, or anything else – it is essential to understand how our thoughts and beliefs create the frameworks we experience as reality. It is in lack that we often assign something its value. Our belief in what we lack not only makes us experience lack – it reinforces its presence. By continually thinking about what we lack, we create a mental focus that tells ourselves and the world: ”This is what I don’t have.” In this way, lack becomes self-generating, a reflection of our own focus.
This is a dualistic conflict: we define what we want by focusing on its absence. When we repeat the narrative of lack to ourselves, we affirm it over and over. But if we can transcend this opposition – if we can let go of the idea of lack as a truth and instead focus on flow and opportunities – we open up for the energy to start moving in our direction.
By understanding that our limitations are merely narratives, not absolute truths, we can begin to create something new. If we see success, love, or health as unattainable, that becomes our reality. But if we instead see these things as naturally available energies, ready to flow into our lives, both our attitude and our experience change. It is not about ignoring reality but about understanding that we have the power to reshape it.
When we transcend the opposition between lack and abundance, we release the possibility for energy to flow. By letting go of our affirmation of lack, we create space for the natural flow of what we wish to manifest – whether it’s love, success, or inner peace. It is by rewriting the narrative we live by that we can begin to manifest from our true potential.
Here are some steps to consciously manifest in a way that harmonizes with the understanding that the outer reflects the inner and that transcending lack opens up for flow:
Calm the mind
Start by observing your thoughts without judgment. What do your thoughts say about what you want to manifest? Are they filled with fear and lack, or do you see it as a natural possibility? By calming the mind, you can begin to see the narratives that keep you trapped in the feeling of lack. Understanding these narratives is the first step to breaking them.
Create clarity
Ask yourself what you truly want – beyond the surface. Is it security, freedom, love, or something else? Clarity is not just about the goal but also about understanding the lack you have been focusing on. When you see both your desire and your fear, you can begin to transcend the opposition between them. This creates a foundation for harmonizing the inner and the outer.
Set an intention
When manifesting, don’t just focus on the goal itself but on the feeling behind it. What does it mean to you, and why is it important? Intention acts as a bridge between what you want and the energy needed to attract it. By setting an intention that affirms abundance instead of lack, you allow the energy to flow freely.
Let go of old patterns
Identify and release narratives that no longer serve you. Thoughts like ”I don’t deserve this” or ”It’s too hard to achieve” reinforce the presence of lack in your life. Replace these thoughts with narratives that support your new perspective, such as ”I deserve abundance” or ”Energy and opportunities naturally flow to me.” Letting go of old patterns is key to creating space for the new.
Trust the process
Accept that change takes time and that energy needs to flow in its own rhythm. When you stop affirming lack and instead trust that your inner work transforms the outer, you free yourself from resistance. Trusting the process means understanding that you are already aligned with what you want to manifest – it’s just a matter of time before it becomes visible.
Shadow work, according to Carl Jung’s theories, involves confronting and integrating the parts of ourselves that we have repressed, denied, or do not wish to acknowledge. These ”shadows” are often the root of our self-limiting thoughts, fears, and negative beliefs – precisely the inner narratives that manifestation aims to transform.
When we attempt to manifest something, we often face internal obstacles and resistance. These obstacles are often expressions of our own shadow: thoughts like ”I’m not worthy of this,” ”It’s too hard,” or ”I can’t succeed.” These are examples of shadow aspects that need to be illuminated and integrated for the energy to flow freely.
Calm the mind
When we observe our thoughts without judgment, we open the door to shadow work. We get a chance to identify the hidden beliefs and feelings that subconsciously drive our actions. Pausing and truly seeing these thoughts is a first step in integrating the shadow.
Create clarity
Asking ”What do I really want, and why?” often reveals shadow aspects. Our deepest fears or beliefs often lie behind what we seek. Clarity is not just about defining a goal but also about understanding which internal blocks – possibly from the shadow – are holding us back.
Set an intention
When we set an intention based on our deepest values, we must confront the parts of ourselves that may not believe we deserve what we want. This is a moment where we can reshape and embrace our shadows by choosing a new narrative.
Let go of old patterns
Shadow work often involves confronting and releasing old narratives. Beliefs like ”I’m not worthy of this” or ”It’s too hard” are often direct expressions of our shadow. By seeing and releasing these thoughts, we integrate shadow aspects and create space for something new.
Trust the process
Shadow work requires patience, as it involves accepting and embracing even the parts of ourselves that feel uncomfortable. By trusting the process, we learn not only to accept the shadow but to see its role in our growth and manifestation.
Just as manifestation involves transcending the opposition between lack and abundance, shadow work is about uniting light and shadow within us. When we stop fighting against our shadows and instead see them as part of the whole, a powerful transformation occurs. It is then that we stop reinforcing lack and instead allow the energy to flow freely.
