There is Ancient Wisdom in Surrendering to Divine Alignment Over Manifestation

In our contemporary "woke" world of self-help gurus and personal development trends, the idea of "manifestation" has gained remarkable popularity, but have you ever questioned what is happening inside the fabric of reality when we do it?

The allure of "having the power" to shape one's destiny by the sheer force of intention is tantalizing. Yet, what many of these advocates of manifestation may overlook is the profound wisdom that comes from a deeper innerstanding of this practice.

The concept of power holds a prominent position. We often encounter references to "positions of power" and the idea of individuals being powerful in various contexts. However, amidst these external expressions of power, we sometimes overlook a profound aspect of this concept—its origin and the role of the divine in bestowing power upon us. This contemplation leads us to a profound question: Are we the source of power, or is power a force that surges through us from a higher, transcendent source?

The Traditional Notion of Power

Traditionally, power is often associated with external factors such as one's social status, wealth, or political influence. It is frequently seen as a manifestation of one's abilities, achievements, or control over others. However, this conventional understanding of power often neglects a deeper and more fundamental source of power—the divine.

The Human Conduit

When we consider power as a force that flows through us from a higher source, we transform our perception of ourselves. Rather than viewing ourselves as the creators of power, we become conduits or vessels through which this power manifests. This perspective humbles us and invites us to recognize that there is a force greater than ourselves at play in our lives.

That humility then serves us in every action we take going forward that keeps us walking in alignment with all things that will nourish and nurture us both internal and external.

The Nature of Power: A Metaphor

Imagine power as a mighty river. You are a vessel placed within the river's flow. The water that courses through you is the power, and the river itself is the divine source. While you may influence the direction and impact of the flow to some extent, you are not the source of the water; it existed long before you and will continue long after you.

Empowerment Through Surrender

Accepting the idea that power flows through us from a higher source can be profoundly empowering. It invites us to surrender our ego-driven desires for control and dominance. Instead, we align ourselves with the divine, allowing this power to work through us for the greater good in our lives.

Imagine that this force that simply asks us to let it do the heavy lifting for us had a plan entirely mapped out. That all we needed to do for that plan to work is to get out of our own way, surrender the desires of our flesh, grasp hold of our trust and patience, and let the natural ebb and flow of the river of life mold us into who we were designed to become.

Understanding Our Role

Recognizing ourselves as vessels of divine power does not diminish our significance but enhances it. We become co-creators in the unfolding of existence in real time as it plays out, playing our unique role in the unfolding of God's plan whilst recognizing that our actions are not solely our own but are guided by the wisdom and purpose of the higher source.

The concept of power is multifaceted, extending beyond mere positions of authority or personal influence.

True power is rooted in a deeper, spiritual dimension, flowing through us from a higher source. Whether we call this source God, the Universe, or by another name, it is the wellspring from which all power emanates. By recognizing ourselves as vessels of this divine power, we embark on a journey of empowerment, surrender, and alignment with a force greater than ourselves.

In doing so, we not only transform our understanding of power but also find meaning, purpose, and a profound connection to the cosmos.

The Heavy Burden of Manifestation

Imagine carrying the entire weight of creating your path upon your own shoulders.

Picture yourself meticulously planning each step, having to go out of your natural ebb and flow to acquire specific materials or attempt to align with specific people to quite frankly force an outcome that was not already flowing together for you, arrogantly believing that you know better than the creator of life itself.

THEN, picture what comes next. The struggle to keep it as it attempts to dismantle itself by sheer order of divine law and imagine the stress you would endure to have worked so hard to bring something together and then have to watch it be dismantled before you while you try to hold on by a very thin thread.

I know you can imagine it, because you have experienced it.

This mindset, fueled by ego, not only places enormous stress on your shoulders but also leads to chronic overwork and a constant struggle to maintain balance.

The Painful Truth

For those who have embarked on this path, it becomes evident that no matter how meticulously we plan, every road we tread on, driven solely by our desire to manifest, crumbles beneath our feet eventually.

It demands that we push ourselves to the limits or pay a price we are unwilling to bear. It's a painful cycle, one that often leads to suffering and disappointment.

The Turning Point: Embracing Alignment

At some point in our journey, a realization dawns upon us: we don't have to bear the crushing weight of creating our paths on our own.

We don't need to play God in our lives. Instead, we can choose to align ourselves with a higher power, a cosmic force that has had a plan for us since the dawn of creation.

Walking on Solid Ground

As we surrender to this greater plan, we find ourselves standing on solid ground. We become deeply rooted in truth, and the manifestations that are truly meant for us begin to flow effortlessly into our lives.

There's no need to force or manipulate our reality to fit these blessings; they seamlessly integrate into our journey with every step.

The Profound Power of Letting Go

The act of letting go of the weight we've been carrying and surrendering to a higher purpose grants us wings to fly. Wings that we never knew we had, nor how to use before we let go and found ourselves using them.

Learning to use our wings takes practice runs. No one just takes off on the first leap of faith. In fact, some of us leap without full faith in our first attempts at flight which causes us to hit the ground instead of fly.

In those moments are when we are forced to allow ourselves to align with forces far greater than our limited human minds could ever fathom or manifest independently. This is where genuine magic unfolds.

Manifestation vs. Alignment: A Deep Dive

Manifestation, at its core, suggests we doubt the brilliance and capability of the wisdom and power of the Divine Force that brought us into existence.

This does not mean that we are consciously choosing to doubt, but the act itself, at its core is vibrating "Though I want to live a beautiful and unforgettable life, and you created life itself and gave me life within it, I doubt you have the capability to design a fulfilling life for me to simply align with. I must create that life for myself with all the weight on me even though I am not clear on how to do so."

It implies that we think we are more capable of determining our fate than the very force that gave us life.

It assumes that we can foresee and control every chaotic event in the universe, a premise that is, in reality, quite far from the truth.

Confronting the Nature of Chaos

When one endeavors to manipulate the source of creation, as implied by the practice of manifestation, it inevitably ushers in a state of chaos. In this context, "chaos" encompasses disorder, unpredictability, and unforeseen consequences, encompassing both favorable and unfavorable outcomes.

As individuals seek to influence the very forces that brought existence into being, they inadvertently introduce instability into their own lives and the world at large. This instability often goes unnoticed by those who have initiated it, leaving them uncertain about how to rectify the situation.

Regardless of the depth of their self-deception, individuals cannot change the inherent nature of the chaos arising from such manipulation unless they first address their own behavior. They must transition from a state of forceful manipulation to a state of harmonious flow in order to regain balance and restore order to their lives and the world.

Our True Role in the Grand Cosmic Play

In the grand design of existence, our primary role is not to forcefully manifest our desires but to surrender and align ourselves with the divine plan.

We must identify and remove the blockages that obstruct the full essence of the divine from flowing through us and remember that surrendering ourselves to divine will is the only way to truly overflow our cups and be whole.

Choosing Alignment Over Manifestation

The next time someone implores you to manifest your desires, pause to remember the trust you could express in your creator and how that trust could positively impact and solidify your life. Politely decline the invitation to manifest and instead choose alignment. Understand that you are not a helpless peasant, struggling to orchestrate every detail of your life. You are royalty, and everything you need has already been set in motion for you.

In our relentless pursuit of dreams and desires, it's essential to recognize that we are not solitary travelers in this journey of life. Our Creator, in all his wisdom, has a meticulously crafted plan for each of us—a plan far more intricate and perfect than anything we could ever conjure through the sheer force of willpower. By surrendering to this divine plan and aligning ourselves with the forces at play, we can find true fulfillment, purpose, and inner peace along our life's extraordinary journey.
