Manifestation isn't fake, but you are probably doing it wrong. This episode breaks down why vision boards and vague affirmations fail, what's actually happening neurologically when belief does…

So first thing I'll go into is the book Reality Transurfing, and Reality Transurfing is a book that feels very much like you've discovered some ancient mystery, like you're discovering magic, because of the way things are written.
And for anyone that's read that book, you probably found it quite hard to understand, and he talks about switching lifelines, that you can switch life paths, that you can, through your emotions, jump onto any desired lifeline and bring things into your reality, and I think it's a, quite a dangerous message to get stuck on because w- what Matt seems to be stuck on is the fact that he needs to be constantly in a positive state of mind, constantly needs to be thinking about his dream or constantly have his dream in his mind and be r- trying really hard to think about it to manifest it into, into his life, and that isn't what happens.
So on- one of the first things you come into in the book Reality Transurfing, which relates to basically bending reality or get- getting what you want, is a concept called pendulums, and pendulum in the book is described as an energy structure fed by emotion.
So basically, the structure of if you give all your energy to things that a lot of people do give their energy to, things like the news or a local club or a sports team or a girl or a relationship, these are all pendulums.
And pendulums gather all this energy and emotion, but most of the time take you away from the thing that you want.
It's that if you're thinking about your football team every single weekend, you're not probably doing the correct things to be manifesting your desired reality.
If you're, if you're totally tied up in a relationship to the point where you don't go to the gym, you're not gonna get in shape.
A pendulum is just something that steals your attention and it, it is given energy by everybody giving their attention to it.
You see, over COVID, a lot of people buried their head in the sand, and this massive structure of pendulum, this big energy thing was COVID, and everyone talked about it all the time, put all their time and energy into it, and because of that, they didn't do anything in their own lives to fix it, so it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
People said COVID's gonna be bad for the economy, bad for you, bad for everything, and because everyone got so invested in that pendulum of energy, as you can do with many things in life, which is why it's an important, it's an important point, because of that, they then had a self-fulfilling prophecy of COVID ruined their lives, right? Fuck their business, blah, blah, blah.
