I think, therefore I am. One of the most famous statements in history of philosophy. Before manifesting, there was philosophy (essentially).
Warning ⚠️: Long post ahead about philosophy, which is related to manifesting (if you put two and two together), so if you want to build up your knowledge on both philosophy AND understand manifesting better than I'd say, go ahead and read!
Descartes was a part of a school of philosophers named The Rationalist. They believed that they were such a thing as an Eight Knowledge. Knowledge that is absolutely dependent of all experience. For Rationalists, there are truths that can be known prior to an observation or experimention.
When Descartes wrote his famous line, he was seeking to discover what kind of knowledge we could know beyond observations. Beyond the external world, if anything. After all, observations might be false. How do we know the human mind is not making things up?
Descartes' inspiration for his book The First Meditation was the simple question: How can we know that anything is true? It's possible that we are dreaming. After all, when one dreams, they aren't aware that they're in a dream. Therefore, they believe every second of it is real.
So Descartes to try to discover what we can know with absolute certainty decides to take everything that is possible to doubt and treat it as false. Therefore, whatever is left will only be beliefs we can know as true with absolute certainty. This way, we can find a base upon which we can build up our beliefs.
Descartes introduces the concept of an evil demon. A deceiver. A deceiver powerful enough to make everything a mere illusion. The evil demon was nothing Descartes believed literally. Instead, it served as a tool for radical skeptism. He went as far as denying basic truths, like mathematics.
The Cogito.
At this point, Descartes is not doing well. Luckily for him, he finds a middle ground. Even if his hands or his feet are real, he must be real. Even if he is being deceived entirely, there must be a He to be deceived. He can not deny his existence because if he denied his existence, well, who would be denying?
If one's doubting that they are thinking, they must automatically be thinking. Doubting is a kind of thinking. So by doubting they are thinking, they are proving that they are thinking. So, as they are doing some kind of thinking, they are. As long as I am doing some kind of thinking, I am.
"So after considering everything very throughly, I must finally conclude that this proposition, I am, I exist, is necessary true whenever it is put forward by me or conceived in my mind." - René Descartes, The Second Meditation.
"I think, therefore I am", sounds a lot like a deduction. A deduction is a method of reasoning or a process of drawing a specific conclusion based on a general principle or fact. "I think" is one statement from which we deduce the conclusion "I am." There's a debate in litterrarure on whether Descartes intended for it to be an argument or as a singular intuition.
Before, we must acknowledge that something called a syllogism exists. A syllogism is a form of logical reasoning where a conclusion is drawn from two premises. A syllogism begins with a major premises, follows with a minor premises and ends with a conclusion.
For instance,
Major Premise: All birds have feathers.
Minor Premise: An Eagle is a bird.
Conclusion: Therefore, an Eagle has feathers.
We could understand The Cogito to be a form of syllogism. Which would look like what follows.
Major Premise: All beings that think exist.
Minor Premise: I think.
Conclusion: Therefore, I exist.
But Descartes himself, opposed to this.
"When someone says 'I am thinking therefore I am, or I exist' he does not deduce existence from thought by means of syllogism but recognises it as something self-evident by a simple intuition of mind." René Descartes, reply to The Second Set of Objections.
Now that I humbly assume you've read all of this, maybe you weren't able to put two and two together. Let me be of hand.
By doubting something, you prove that it is possible. When you doubt wether or not your desires are possible to achieve, you essentially prove that they are. By doubting you acknowledge that they are alternative outcomes. If you were truly convinced something wasn't possible, you wouldn't doubt.
Additionay, remember syllogism? Do you want to see manifesting in a more "logical" side? No problem.
Major Premise: Our understanding of reality is filtered through our thoughts.
Minor Premise: I desire something; therefore, I assume it is real.
Conclusion: Therefore, my desires shape my perception of reality.
Please let me know if you guys want more of the philosophical side of manifesting. This is a first for me!
All this information I got from studying Descartes philosophy with YouTube, research, and my own understanding. I do not study philosophy myself (yet). I did it all at my own free will.
I think, therefore I am. I act, therefore I am. I want, therefore I am. I AM.
aka your friendly neighborhood time-thief. I'd be super mad about it too, if time wasn't an illusion.
No you didn't "detach" and finally shift, you just stopped actively reaffirming against your desire and shifted.
Don't get me wrong. I used to do that to, still do sometimes—reality can be a hoe like that.
Because, the concept of detachment—is one that is, at worst misunderstood; at best, doesn't even need to exist—can easily turn into an recursive loop. Before you panic, the loop can just as easily be broken.
Why? At a certain point, you have to realize that the key is just... thinkingꜝꜝ
Affirming -> thinking
Setting intention -> thinking
Deciding -> thinking
SATS -> thinking
Mental diet -> thinking
Robotic affirming -> thinking
Assuming -> thinking
Methods -> ....
....
....
Still thinking ᐢᗜᐢ

Yes, this is an American aesthetic. Yes it is because I am American.
Elections are completely fair, not rigged, no scandals, fair.
There are no two of the "lesser evils" all candidates are genuinely good people and they want nothing but the best for the country.
All candidates represent the American people, if the American people find that the elected official is unfit they will be REMOVED (yes this is Trump shade.)
There is separation of church and state.
Americans are more open-minded about candidates from parties other than the Democratic and Republican party

Okay that's all I could come up with for now! Buh bye my loves!
Having multiple s/os in different realities is NOT CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FEELING IS THE SECRET to manifesting WEIGHT LOSS
I've been losing weight eating whatever i want and not doing any kind of exercise.
And this time I've actually given up on robotic affirming because the pounds would not shed as fast as I wanted. I started visualizing, feeling it and believing what i see is me and it is REAL. Especially before sleeping like Neville Goddard says, but also throughout the day. It does help though to close my eyes and really feel it for 20 mins or so before i fall asleep.
The more you feel skinny, the more u become it, and it doesnt take ⭐️ving. It takes just feeling skinny, so ask yourself more like how can i make myself feel this more than 50% of the day at least? what do i have to imagine? how should i be moving my body or saying to myself in my mind about myself?
it takes discipline of course, but do u want it?
the key is persistance and not checking the 3d.
some people using subliminals lost 1-2 pounds per day, so not seeing a huge drop the first day u do this shouldn t be worrying.
as for food, i make sure after every meal i imagine and feel myself skinnier. for example although my belly might be over my jeans i visualize my flat belly underneath and keep on that thought/visualization as long as i can, or go to other parts of my body and visualize them skinny for 10-20 min after i eat.
wherever i am, i pretend i'm skinny and even though i don t feel it all the time, i choose to ignore it when i don't.
sometimes people around me would notice i'm slimmer but they don t say anything, and instead of asking them "have i lost weight?" i just tell myself in my mind: he/she noticed i lost weight, woohoo! after a few days they start telling me. because if i were to ask, my fears would most likely manifest and i wouldn t like their answer, so better keep it to myself so i don t regret it.
also, i don t have a mirror and i don t use a scale so i take pictures sometimes and compare them and i'm like wow there s actually a difference.
but then it kinda messes with my head a bit so i try to only take pics when i feel extra skinny.
i also imagine skinny girls eating and getting skinnier as best as i can. and tell myself eating makes me lose.
i still use robotic affirmations for other things, but not this, since i remembered as a child someone noticed i lost weight after feeling myself skinnier before sleep to "try it out" see if it works and i was super happy for that but i didn t know it takes persistance, otherwise i would be much further in my manifestations by now. lol.

{Where focus goes, energy flows. Take what resonates, leave what does not 🖤}
- note: I use Harry Potter and the MCU realities as examples through this! A majority of us know basics of those places— it makes it easier for me to make examples in this b word.
Summary: Going over the importance of your DR-self and how to truly connect to yourself. Includes deep questions to think about <3
Key Terms: DR (Desired Reality), CR (Current Reality)
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ✦˚ . ★⋆.
*I say with a smirk, twirling my hair.*
Focus on yourself/DR SELF more than ANYTHING ELSE!! I STAND ON THIS ONE!! TEN TOES DOWN RIGHT HERE. RIGHT NOWWWW.
This is your time to have main character syndrome—hell, you ARE the most important character in your story! Why focus on you? It’s way easier to connect with yourself than trying to visualize every detail of your DR. You know yourself better than anyone. Use that to your advantage! Raw dog yourself dude
But lemme clock something ‼️ Truly connecting to your DR self is a lot more than just reading over a script and answering brain-dead questions like "What's my name? My age?" Like wowww, we get it.. we know. Wowwwwww— Instead, the goal is to embody and align. To close the gap. To truly become your DR self through thought, emotion, and perspective.
Traits:
What are your core personality traits in your DR?
Are you brave, compassionate, witty, analytical?
Example: If you’re brave, is it “I can kill a spider with a shoe” brave, or “I’ll face down a Death Eater/alien army” brave? How Brave are you really? Can people rely on your bravery?
Thoughts and Reactions:
How do you react in your DR? What Level do you operate at?
Example: You're making Amortentia (love potion) in class, everyone wants to know what it smells like. They are bothering you. Pestering you. How do you react? Are you Calmer in your DR? Hot-headed? Do you laugh it off?
Growth:
Who are you in your DR, and how have you grown?
What challenges have shaped you? How do you handle conflict differently in your DR?
Your DR Self is an Extension of You
If your DR self feels a lot like "you" (CR self) with subtle difference that fit the narrative of your DR, that's okay! Think of your DR self not as someone new, but as you in a different context. It’s still you—just shaped by the events, experiences, and circumstances of your DR. So for the sake of example, some Marvel context. {Focus on Emotional immersion, shifting isn't just about forcing yourself to think differently-- its about feeling differently. Immerse in the emotions of your DR life.}
Example time:
What does it feel like to walking into the Avengers compound and know you belong?
Feel the Pride after using abilities to save someone, or the adrenaline of a mission. Speaking of abilities, if you use magic.. Do your hands move like Wanda? Agatha?
How does being an Avenger or Hero challenge or inspire you? How does your comfort character help you grow? Or do they help show a new side of yourself?
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ✦˚ . ★⋆.
Don’t Overthink—Seriously.
I know, i just told you not to overthink, and then dumped LIKE A BILLION THINGS to OVERTHINK about— BUT BABY WAIT— here’s the thing: you don’t have to focus on everything I mentioned.
All of these points are just different tastes—little prompts to help you connect with your DR self. You don’t need to answer every question or dive into every example. Even picking just one of these ideas can lead you down the right path. That’s the whole point.
The goal is to delve deep and feel your DR self. Get into their mindset, match their energy, and align with their frequency. One thought, one emotion, or one detail is enough to bridge that gap. Keep it simple, and let it flow naturally.
If you were to sit down with your CR self (my worst nightmare), you could probably talk for hours about the things that make you, you. Maybe you eat yogurt with forks (I do), your favorite color is pink, you can’t stand loud noises, you’re afraid of the ocean, or you secretly love pop music but hate certain smells. And let’s be real—your quirks, your traumas, your little joys? Those are what make you human.
You’re doing the exact same thing with your DR self. You’re getting to know their quirks, fears, loves, and unique traits. Because at the end of the day, you’re not just creating some untouchable fantasy version of yourself—you’re real. Your DR self is real. They’ve had real experiences, just like you’ve had in your CR.
So, when you’re exploring who they are, think about their humanly unique quirks. What makes them smile? What challenges them? What weird little habits or traits do they have that make them you?
You’re not creating a stranger or a perfect ideal. You’re reconnecting with a version of yourself who’s already out there living in the DR. They’re not some far-off, unreachable dream. They’re you.
Ho did you just focus on yourself? Yk what? Hell yeah
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
