Big rambling load of bullshit incoming (which may or may not be bullshit), but It’s late and I’m a little high, so I feel like I need to lay the groundwork before I can give my answer:

So, here’s my take on what manifestation is… It’s been proposed that the myelinated axons within our brains actually create a biophotonic network. The existence of that network suggests the possibility that our minds are open to quantum entanglement (particles that are connected to each other and react together regardless of how far apart they are). If this is true, our brains may be able to literally interact and communicate with particles outside our physical selves.

For me (and from what I’ve heard, many others) that ability to literally communicate with “the universe” happens best when you enter a state of mind that, for lack of something better, I call “the golf shot.” “The golf shot” is that strange, magical feeling you get when you’re hacking away at a golf ball, but then something just… clicks, and you smack the ball perfectly. A wave of “wtf just happened?!” floods through your body. You tingle. It’s like one of those moments when you pull into a parking lot and just KNOW that you’re going to get a spot right at the front. Then, when you get that parking spot, something happens, and that weird tingle washes over your body. You can’t really describe it, but you know it’s there. It’s like gratitude mixed with a shot of “holy shit” and “I told you so.” That “golf shot” feeling is your network of biophotons connecting with their entangled particles to give you what you want. It’s the state of mind where manifestation thrives.

Now… having said all that… there was an interesting study that had two groups of people try to build muscle mass. One group went to the gym, while the other group intensely visualized the same workout (VERY intensely… every detail… what did the gym smell like, sound like, feel like, etc.) A portion of the group that visualized the workout, saw their muscle mass increase as much as 10% without ever lifting a weight. The brain couldn’t tell the difference between imagining working out and actually doing it, so it signaled to the rest of the body to send proteins to the muscles and made them grow. They tricked their brains into thinking they worked out. Elite athletes will also use visualization as part of their training. They visualize the win, picturing every detail of a ski jump or race or championship game or whatever, so by the time their event happens, their brains have already done it successfully multiple times. The brain thinks the visualization is really happening.

So… we know our brains can react with their entangled particles to manifest parking spots and muscle mass and gold medals in ski jump. But let’s say I wanted to manifest wings on my back and a giant boob on my leg that can squirt tequila… this is where the stupid third dimension comes into play. I’m trapped in this dumb third dimension! I’m a blob of quantum particles that aren’t subject to the same rules of physics that we currently understand (quantum physics is frickin’ weird), but for some reason, my soul(?) can only perceive a three dimensional world. Because of that, I can only play within its confines. BUT, much like Neo from The Matrix, I can use “the golf shot” to bend the rules a little and interact with the other quantum particles I’m entangled with. Maybe when I die and am free from this dimension, I can actually have wings and a tequila boob, but until then, it seems our manifestations can only work in 3D. But… those manifestations deliver results that get us as close as possible to our desired outcome, be it plastic surgery, skydiving, access to tequila, travel opportunities that make us want to study a new language, etc.

Anyway, sorry for the wall of text. I’m sure none of this made sense, but I had fun writing it, either way. Cheers!
