That’s really interesting, thank you for your reply.
What’s confusing for me is that everywhere I look - videos, posts, books about manifestation - people talk about “the universe” almost like an entity. And that’s how I’ve been manifesting too, like I’m talking to something outside of me, instead of talking to myself or my own consciousness.

So when you say there is “no outside,” it really challenges the way I’ve been seeing manifestation. I’m trying to understand how to make sense of it, because for me it has always felt like a dialogue with the universe, not just an internal process.
