This isn’t manifestation—it’s performance.
This episode breaks down why the way most people approach manifestation is completely backwards. You’re not failing because you’re doing it wrong—you’re failing because you’ve been taught to seek it outside of yourself. Whether it’s vision boards, affirmations, or scripting, it’s all built on the idea that what you want isn’t already within you.
This isn’t manifestation.
It’s performance.
It’s outsourcing your power.
It’s trying to earn something that’s already yours.
We dismantle that construct—and walk through the actual structure of creation:
Will. Love. Energy. Force.
And the nervous system as the container that determines whether it all holds.
If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and nothing’s landing, this episode explains why. And how to finally come back into coherence, clarity, and power.
🌀 Work with me 1:1 – Embodied Creation
Embodied Creation is a private container where we get your internal system—your will, your frequency, your nervous system—back online.
It’s not mindset work. It’s not manifesting tricks.
It’s not about calling things in from outside yourself.
It’s about remembering how to operate.
We work with the actual mechanics of creation:
Will. Love. Energy. Force.
And your nervous system as the container that either permits or blocks everything you’re trying to hold.
This is deep alignment work—getting your signal coherent, your truth unmuted, and your actions sourced from clarity, not performance.
Whether you’re just waking up or you’ve been doing the work for years, this space meets you at the level of structure.
Because once your system is resonant, life starts organizing around you.

Hello, hello, welcome to your awakening. Welcome to your awakening.
If I sound a little nasally today, it’s because I’m coming off some kind of cold, or flu, or who knows what kind of cosmic cleanse. And you know what? It’s funny. I was on the plane and I literally said to myself, “No, we’re not doing this. I’m not getting sick. It’s not happening.”
And guess what? Well, you don’t have to guess because you know—I got sick.
But do you know why? It’s because I spent that entire plane ride focusing on not getting sick. My attention, my focus, was on sickness, not on health. And I know better than that. I should’ve caught myself and shifted that focus to health and vitality.
But it’s a good reminder: You are always, always manifesting—even when you’re not trying to.
Your field does not care what you’re resisting or desiring. It reads your attention. That’s the signal.
Anyway, that’s not what today’s episode is about.
But it kind of is.
Because today I want to talk about the general construct of manifestation—and how that construct is actually blocking you from manifesting anything.
What do I mean by that? Let’s get into it.
The Construct of Manifestation
The whole setup treats manifestation like a goal in itself. Like it’s something you have to earn. Something that lives outside of you—and your job is to figure out how to go get it.
Whether it’s a vision board, a five-step process, the 3-6-9 method, journaling prompts, or this whole aesthetic manifestation obsession—the whole thing is built on an underlying assumption: You don’t have what you want yet. And you need to perform a certain way to get it.
That’s the construct.
It has you constantly self-correcting. It has you looking out at your reality and then trying to fix your inner state to make it different. To be someone different.
And the whole time you’re doing that, you’re reinforcing the frequency of lack—of not having, not being, not enoughness.
This is the problem. Not your desire. Not your vision.
The problem is the system you’ve plugged your desire into.
The Illusion of Manifestation as a Technique
People think manifestation is something you do.
A technique. A strategy. A Pinterest board (though I do love myself a Pinterest board). A scripting ritual. Like if you just follow this formula, your dream life will pop up on the other side.
The whole concept of this style of manifestation is built on disconnection.
It’s externalized. It’s outsourcing your power to methods and mentors and mood boards.
You’re still in the frequency of “I don’t have it.”
Still operating from “I’m not there yet.”
That’s the core distortion. That’s what blocks it.
It’s not just a thought you’re having.
It’s a signal—a full-body, full-field transmission.
This is the Law of Vibration in action. Every particle, being, and intention emits a frequency. The universe responds not to your words, not to your affirmations, but to your energetic state—what you are at the core.
This also mirrors quantum field theory, which suggests particles behave in response to the energy field they inhabit.
So when you chase, you’re declaring: “It’s far from me. It’s not mine.”
That’s the frequency. That’s the field you’re holding. That’s the command you’re actually sending.
I need this = I don’t have this = I am separate from this.
The Law of Attraction and the Law of Resonance: like attracts like, and you receive what you are a match for. Resonance is the synchronization between your internal state and your external field.
It works when your whole system is coherent with what you say you’re calling in. And it’s been shown that when your heart, brain, and nervous system are in sync, your body sends a stable, harmonious signal.
That’s what we want—a harmonious signal. One that influences not just your own physiology, but the field around you.
Why Affirmations and Aesthetics Don’t Land
You’re not in lack because you desire something. Desiring something doesn’t automatically put you in lack.
You’re in lack because you’ve put that desire outside of yourself. You’re holding the desire in a body that doesn’t believe it’s already yours.
And you cannot bypass this incoherent state with affirmations. That won’t land.
You can’t override dysregulation with spiritual aesthetics—journaling, moodboarding, vision boards. That’s not how it works.
Affirmations don’t land if your body is in fight or flight.
The subconscious will reject a new belief if it contradicts your nervous system’s baseline state of safety.
Manifestation is Mechanical
Here’s the higher-level truth: Manifestation isn’t a thing you do. It’s not a trick or a superpower.
You are constantly manifesting. It’s just how the universe works. It’s mechanical. It’s literal.
The Law of Cause and Effect: your internal state causes your external outcome—not the other way around.
You’re not creating with tools. You’re creating with your being.
You are manifesting all the time. You don’t turn it on or off. You’re always creating reality via your signal. The only question is: What are you broadcasting?
When you treat manifestation as a technique, you accidentally place it outside of yourself. You become separate from it. You make it something you have to earn, prove, work for.
That separation is the block.
Manifestation is not a tool. It’s a property of existence.
It’s the feedback loop between your system and the field.
You don’t use it—you are it.
The Hermetic Principle of Correspondence: As within, so without. The field reflects your state—not your statements.
And every time you chase it, you’re saying to the universe: “This is not me.”
So the field responds: “Okay. It’s not you.”
You pull yourself into lack by making manifestation an external goal rather than recognizing it as your innate inner state.
The Real Key: Waking Up and Remembering
If there is a key to any of this, it’s waking up.
Gurdjieff, founder of the Fourth Way, said: “Man is asleep. He lives in waking sleep.”
Most people are not awake. They’re functioning. Performing. Reacting. Repeating mechanical loops they never chose.
Until you wake up, you are not manifesting. You’re just reacting. Life is happening to you. You’re in the passenger seat.
But Gurdjieff didn’t just mean awareness. He meant self-remembering—the act of coming back into yourself, reclaiming your own internal witness, feeling your own presence.
Without self-remembering, man cannot truly awaken.
There’s waking up, and then there’s remembering. One is noticing you’re asleep. The other is reclaiming your seat at the center of your reality.
Know Thyself
At the Temple of Apollo in Delphi—the most sacred oracle in Greece—the phrase inscribed over the entrance was: Know Thyself.
This wasn’t poetic. It was prerequisite. It was instruction.
Before consulting the oracle, you had to purify, reflect, come into inner knowing. You had to enter with clarity. You had to know your place in the universe.
If you didn’t know yourself, you wouldn’t be able to receive the truth. You’d distort it. Twist it. Project your unconscious onto it.
Same thing now.
You’re asking the universe to bring something in—but you don’t even know the self doing the asking.
You’re manifesting from a fractured being. A fractured field.
In order to know thyself, you have to remember thyself. This means going inward. Waking up to your power, waking up to your truth, waking up to your position inside the system.
The Structure of Creation
This is not about mindset. It’s about structure.
You are a literal part of a universal mechanism—a living, breathing function inside a field that responds to form, frequency, coherence.
When you wake up to your role inside that mechanism, and you know that you are part of the grid—you stop placing power anywhere else.
So what is that system?
According to Hermetic law, Gurdjieff’s cosmology, and modern nervous system science:
There are four core forces—Will. Love. Energy. Force.
Held by the nervous system: your container.
Will — The Command
Will is the initiating intelligence. The original yes.
Not ego-will. Not surface-level desire.
True Will is direct, aimed, coherent.
In Hermeticism: all is mind.
Creation begins as intentional consciousness—the Divine Mind choosing form.
Will chooses the aim. Without Will, you drift, you loop, you react.
Most people don’t choose—they hope. They perform. They try to manifest passively.
You must initiate. You must decide.
The power of deciding—like actually locking in—can shift timelines instantly.
Quantum leaping doesn’t happen from hoping. It happens from Will.
Love — The Frequency Carrier
Love isn’t an emotion.
It’s a frequency. The fabric of the universe.
The harmonic everything is structured around.
In Hermetic law, Love is the Reconciling Force—what resolves polarity and restores flow.
Think of Love as the radio station the universe is always broadcasting on.
Your job is to tune to it.
The more you stay tuned to this harmonic, the more life starts to organize around you. It’s resonance.
This is the frequency you want to be vibrating at.
Energy — The Broadcast
Energy is your real-time frequency output.
It’s the signal your system is sending into the field—consciously or not.
You are always broadcasting. The field reads your energetic state—not your intentions.
Your energetic state is your true intention.
If you can get your energetic state to match your intention, that’s a pure, coherent signal.
This is where heart coherence matters.
The heart emits a measurable electromagnetic field up to six feet.
When coherent, it synchronizes brainwaves, breath, hormones, and emotional state.
That coherence makes your broadcast stable, legible, and aligned.
Incoherence = mixed signal.
You say you want love, but your field says fear.
You say abundance, but your energy says lack.
Energy is not what you want—it’s what you’re actually emitting, holding.
Emotional tone + physiological state = broadcast.
If your broadcast isn’t a match, the field can’t mirror it back.
And the universe is one giant mirror.
Coherent energy lands. Incoherent energy loops.
Force — The Activator
Force is the movement. The aligned action. The doing.
It’s the Active Principle. The way signal becomes form.
A lot of people want to manifest but never move.
They stay in the energy field. Meditate forever. Visualize endlessly.
But without Force, you’re stuck in potential.
Nothing comes through.
You want to manifest love, but you never leave your home.
Yeah, maybe the delivery guy’s your soulmate—but maybe move.
Get into motion. Let the field meet you.
You have to meet it halfway.
You can have clarity, alignment, and energy, but if you don’t move it into this 3D reality—it dies in the ether.
Force is how the field becomes form.
Nervous System — The Container
The nervous system is the gatekeeper.
It’s the container that holds everything.
It doesn’t create—it permits or blocks what you’re already creating.
Sometimes a manifestation lands—but you lose it just as fast.
That’s nervous system collapse. Your container wasn’t stable enough to hold it.
Or it doesn’t arrive at all—because your system doesn’t feel safe enough to receive it.
If you’re in fight, flight, or freeze—your body interprets expansion as threat.
It may as well be a bear attacking you.
Your nervous system decides:
- Is this safe?
- Can I survive this change?
- Can I hold more?
A lot of people say the nervous system is the key to manifestation.
No. The nervous system isn’t creating anything.
It’s the container.
That’s the whole system:
Will chooses. Love aligns. Energy broadcasts. Force activates.
And the nervous system holds.
So yeah, we went on a bit of a tangent there—but really, the whole construct of manifestation keeps the power outside of you. It keeps you chasing. Externalizing your energy.
And that is the exact opposite of what you want to be doing.
The second you remember—not just wake up, but remember—your place, your power, your position in the universe…
You know exactly how to operate.
And the secret the whole time, if there is one, is that it’s been inside of you all along.
The secret really is: Know thyself.
That’s the secret.
The Oracle was not lying.
Know thyself.
And if you’re interested in taking your power back, living with clarity, truth, and intention, with a clean, coherent signal…
Actually living your life—not having to journal and script until the day you die…
With all of your mechanics and energy online—so you can live a life so resonant that manifestation becomes irrelevant…
