When you go into manifesting mode and you get very crystal clear, you're not just in manifesting mode, you're in creation mode.
Now that's where the magic really happens. This is where you really should think about yourself as an artist.
Think of yourself with the blank canvas and go, how am I going to paint this picture?
Welcome, I'm Peter Williams and for the past 10 years, I've been connecting with thousands of people from the stage and online to help them discover the importance of spiritual and energetic practices so they can thrive with confidence, clarity and purpose.
It is time to awaken your connection, align with your soul and achieve your own inner power right here on the Inner Power Podcast.
[0:51] Welcome back to the Inner Power Podcast. A big thank you and a big hello again
Manifesting is so Yesterday
[0:55] to all of my lovely listeners who are tuning in for another episode.
Well, I have to admit, I'm actually really excited about today's episode because today's episode is inspired by a fellow listener and follower who has submitted a question.
I love this. And guess what? what?
This is the first one where we have that audience interaction where I'm helping answer your questions.
If any of you out there actually do this, where you were looking for that little bit of help, a little bit of guidance, a little bit of insight where you feel like I'm able to help you or you're looking for that, please feel free to reach out, email us, DM us on socials.
We're more than happy to have a look at your question and see whether it's applicable and I can help you through this format because I love it.
If you are thinking about a question, question, then guaranteed other people will have that question too.
So I have no problem in helping others. And this is a great way for me, not just to help you as a direct listener, if you have the question, but also to help anybody else out there who may be thinking or questioning the same thing. So this is exciting.
We're going to really get into this. So it is about manifesting.
This is something that is huge.
It is something that Spirit has driven me a lot with here as well.
And obviously I'm going to direct and answer as much as I can as well as the direct question.
[2:18] So, this is submitted by the lovely Kirstie who emailed in and her direct question was, what is the main difference between controlling an outcome versus manifesting?
That's a really beautiful question.
And what was the bit of context here for all of the other listeners and obviously watchers on YouTube is what was kind of basing around is like her basic scenario is that really putting out there, getting focused.
She was getting focused on her job and really wanted the job because it had all these wonderful benefits and what she was looking for.
But then there was just like, but hang on, am I controlling this too much and I'm not allowing for universe to work its magic?
I love that. And straight off the bat, I just want to say, Kirstie, listen to this, which I hope that you are because this is your question.
And don't worry, I will email to let you know that it's up. But the whole point is you saying that straight up, I see so much beautiful respect for the energy and for universe.
I love that because you are respecting that universe is connected to you and universe is working for you and you want to allow it to have the space to create magic in your life. That is a beautiful thing.
[3:36] I can see where you may be coming from here. But now I'm manifesting and I'm getting really kind of crystal clear and focused on what I want.
Am I taking away that space for universal magic?
Love it. Simple answer is no.
[3:52] So we're going to get a little bit more into this, but that's the simple answer is no. But what is the main difference?
So realistically, and I'm going to provide a different spin here, guys.
So it's a new thing. And this is what has inspired two things.
It's inspired the title of today's episode where manifesting is like so yesterday because I kind of believe it is.
And I know the vibration frequency is increasing so much that it was great for us in the late 80s and 90s and probably working into the 2000s and the noughties there.
But now we're at a higher frequency and vibration again that it's different.
And Spirit has been inspiring me with this and has also inspired me with, obviously, my new workshops and programs with Can't Get You Out of My Head, which are going online, which is awesome.
But it's also inspired around, obviously, my Inner Power program and the Inner Power Accelerator program, where I do take my students through this very process and understanding.
So I'm going to give you a glimpse here in answering Kirsty's question around this as well.
So the whole thing is, first thing is, before we start really getting into the long answer here, we need to understand what the word manifesting means.
So taking this from the direct definition, because a lot of people think of manifesting as is, if I want it, it's on my wishlist, universe will provide it.
[5:15] And that right there, I hate to say, does not work. There's a difference.
So let's have a look at the meaning because I guarantee you, like, you know, just out of curiosity, if you start asking people, what's the meaning or definition of manifesting?
Have a listen to their response and let's see if they really do understand the word.
But the direct definition is it shows by one's act or appearance.
[5:42] Okay, so shows by one's act or appearance. Then the kind of second definition of it is be evidence or proof of.
[5:51] So you can see that the first one is the one that really applies in our sense or in the spiritual or energetic sense.
And it's like shows by one's act or appearance. And this is really important because, of course, it's all energetically connected.
So this is a beautiful thing. And throughout this, we're going to be using Kirstie's context, the job, just as that beautiful example, how we can work this.
So of course, let's just say you're not really happy in the position that you are and you're looking for something new.
The whole thing is when we say this, it's like you say, okay, I want a new job. Now that's fine.
But just with that alone, because you're the energetic being, whatever you and whatever vibrational frequency you are working at, you are now putting that out and signaling that out to the universe.
Think of it as one massive radio. radio like you are putting out radio waves to the universe no different to those lovely little sand circles in the in the picture there behind me because that's what it's like those rocks just describing for my listeners if you haven't seen the reels or the youtube videos i've got a beautiful canvas here and it's got the three stones it's almost like a little rock zengard in the japanese version as three rocks all stacked on each other and from there it has the circles particles of sand, beautifully drawn outside emanating from that.
It is a beautiful, beautiful example of what we are and what we're trying to do when we are moving into a manifesting mode.
[7:20] Now, manifesting in this sense, I like to switch it to creation.
And this is what it's about. I want you to think, Kirsty, here as it's what is the difference between controlling income and manifesting?
You're not really controlling. They're controlling by using that word.
And I know in your mind, when you wrote the question, you're thinking, am I really blocking myself in and not allowing that space for magic?
No, that's not the case. When you go into manifesting mode and you get very crystal clear, you're not just in manifesting mode.
You're in creation mode.
Now, that's where the magic really happens. This is where you really should think about yourself as an artist.
Think of yourself with the blank canvas and go, how am I going to paint this picture? Or how am I going to draw this picture?
In terms of the job, coming back to our example, if we come to the job, blank canvas in front of it, what do we want for our job?
You can't just say, I want another job. Of course, you can say that.
But my point is, what's going to stop you from going from the crappy job or position that you're in, and I'm not saying this is Kirstie's position, but you're another listener out the same thing.
If you're in that kind of crappy groundhog day position and you say, I want another job, what's going to say that you can't end up in the exact same job?
[8:37] See, what happens here is you're going to only attract into your life that of which your frequency is at.
What frequency are you putting out there to the universe?
[8:53] If your frequency is low, I just want another job. That's low frequency to me.
Like even in the time when people say, I just want another job.
I just, I need to get out of this job. I just need another job.
They'll get another job. And that will be like the quickest little dopamine hit.
When you start the job, you go, oh, this is so much better. Oh, this job's so much better than my last one. But then what?
Three months, six months. Oh my God, I just need another job.
Because you weren't specific enough in yourself, your mind, and with your canvas to help really get yourself to a frequency to knowing what was going to be right for you, what was going to be good for you.
And it's okay. Like, honestly, guys, let's go back to being a kid.
We have the ability to put a wish list in for santa every single day every day every day you make a choice to do it and every day you can choose what to see where to go and this is where it kind of comes down to but what's really interesting here is and this is where i want to take it a step further.
[9:58] With this manifesting is just a simple part like by the definition shows by one's act or appearance so what's really important in this manifesting stage or point of the journey okay so it's a very small part of the journey believe it or not when you are seeing it and connecting with it then you really should start embracing that energy of what it is if you don't you are not at the frequency to receive it.
[10:32] Now, I'm going to take a little bit of a leaf from my good mate David Zlor's book here because he loves this. This is a real big topic for him. And you know what?
I probably get him asking to come along and share his knowledge.
We do this. We share this knowledge on our Fiji retreats, which we've got coming up in September.
And he does this. And we did this last year. And everybody did find it very, very powerful.
But one thing he did suggest here is like if you really want something, he talked about a new car, and this was his experience.
He talked about getting a new car. If you want the new car, go down, sit in the new car, get a feel for the new car, and invite your senses to really soak in everything that you're doing.
And he says, by doing that, you are going to align your energy and reach the frequency in order to be able to receive that particular car.
Now, it's very powerful things. I love that because all of a sudden, it doesn't just become a picture that you might stab on a vision board.
It may not just become a thought. it all of a sudden you're getting closer to reality you know what it smells like you know what it feels like to drive and therefore you are aligning with that okay now this is a beautiful thing now you could do this now i can hear someone coming in here this is not even my thought i know someone's thinking this as they listen to this episode but pete what happens if i really want that beautiful tropical holiday and i just want to go snorkeling on the way the great barry reef or a reef, I can't exactly just go there and taste test that and then, you know, I'll attract it into my life.
[12:01] Granted, if you're like you, for example, if you're living in South Australia and you want to come to Cairns, the Great Barrier Reef, or maybe you want to go to the Bahamas or wherever you want to go. But the whole thing is you kind of can.
Even with that, if it's snorkeling's the dream on the coral reef, well, when's the last time you've been snorkeling?
Have you reminded yourself of what it's like? Maybe you need to.
If you've never been snorkeling, maybe you can go snorkeling down a local rock pool or something or there will be a snorkeling spot somewhere, of course, unless you live in the middle of somewhere.
But you know what I mean? Like there's other ways to start enjoying your senses.
You have to get creative, right, guys? This is so important.
You've got to get creative.
You don't think about the negatives.
You've got to find a way of really bringing that into your life.
This brings me to my main point. So taking good old mate David Laws' car analogy, we have a little snorkeling, like getting into these things and inviting the senses.
What happens here is you are now entering the most important phase.
You've already finished the manifesting, okay? The manifesting is you see it, you believe it, right?
I want this and you embody it. You embody it with your energy going, yes, I want this and I believe this. If you do not believe it, you drop your frequency, you will not be able to receive it. So you have to embody it.
Manifesting when you've got that point, you embody it, then you have to let go.
[13:28] That's right. Don't think about it. No different to Santa's wishlist.
Like, oh, Santa, I really want that.
Kids don't sit on it and nag Santa about the gift they want for Christmas.
The same thing happens when we go to manifest.
So as soon as we've kind of finished the list or what we are wanting to ask universe to provide with us, that is the manifesting point done in my book. It is done.
You've already kind of put that out there. Then you move into the next phase and this next phase is so far more important than a manifesting.
You then move into the magnetizing.
[14:07] I would really encourage you to all start thinking of it, am I magnetizing this into my life?
This is where it becomes so much more powerful. What I have noticed is the growing trend is There's so much manifestation talk out there, but the whole thing is so many people that it's like the wishlist, I send it out there and they drop it and they just really bloody hope that it's all going to happen for them.
Sorry, not going to, right? Majority of it won't happen.
But if you align your energy with it right and it feels right, then you're going to go into magnetized mode.
The beautiful thing here is you cannot forget that when we are in this space in metronomies, this is a co-creation space.
You have to paint the picture on the canvas because you've actually done the work to paint the picture and get specific, the colors, the textures, the size, whatever it may be.
But then all of a sudden, universe works with you.
And the beautiful part is if you're really specific, as soon as you have it, universe has already created it.
The minute it. It is a thought in your brain. It already exists.
That is quantum. It already exists.
[15:24] So because it already exists, guess what? You're not manifesting anymore. It's already there.
It's just about it has to get to you. You have to be willing to work towards it to receive it.
This is where the co-creation process begins, aka you are magnetizing.
This is so important. This is where your vibration, frequency, your belief of how much you want it comes into play.
[15:54] So the whole point here is, is if you don't have that, it is not going to come closer to you.
The most beautiful thing here is a scientific theory, but I'm not going to bore you with the details.
But the whole point is every time you take a step towards what you are manifesting or what you're trying to magnetize towards you, the universe also takes a step.
So for each step you you take the universe in its delivery is going to take a step also so it's a co-creation process and it's a co-working process and the more you work towards it the universe is walking towards you if you are not working towards it guess what universe is getting no closer universe is going to respond to your actions okay and what you're doing remember let's come back to the definitions shows by one's act or appearance so the more you are putting in the action and the more that you are appearing and showing up on a daily basis to really kind of connect with that energy about what you're magnetizing it is going to come closer to you every day that is the crux of it and so when When you're in this space, and coming back to Kirstie's question, you are co-creating, not controlling.
[17:16] I can tell you right now, then as much as you have got your list and you started putting it out there and then you do receive it, there is always wonderful space for universe to work its magic and give you what you exactly need.
Need you'll quite often find that you know you will get what you want in terms of the universe and then even as you do receive it there will be other things that the universe knows you need and that's how they put the magic in there so for example you create and you manifest and you magnetize towards that perfect job and if it's really the one you want then all of a sudden the environment's right co-workers are nice you know there's more light there's more activity i'm I'm not just bound to a desk, punching away on a keyboard, like whatever it may be. But then all of a sudden you might go, oh, wow.
And then this company is brilliant. They've just offered me a new training program to upskill myself.
And now I can get a certificate for, and this, and that's going to give me a better pay grade.
It's going to give me better career options, whatever it may be.
Then all of a sudden, guess what?
That's universe applying its magic saying, see, this is something that you're probably going to need for your future, but it's up to you whether you want to take it or not.
So there's always there so in that part never ever be afraid of controlling it if you are controlling.
[18:41] You will know so probably comes the obvious question right well how do you really know whether you're controlling or not.
[18:49] You are controlling if you are completely obsessed with it, completely focused on it, and I want this, I want this, it can't be different, can't be different.
Like if you're talking like that and almost every day you are constantly talking to yourself about it, talking to family and friends about it, like it's really constant, then that's you controlling it or that's not even you.
You're not even co-creating. you are literally bulldozing your way to get there for example that might be the case of like if you have the money for a new motorcycle and you've got a choice between one or the other that's just your choice like you can go and get that that's more of a controlling thing not a manifesting thing.
[19:35] Manifesting is where you allow the universe to help you and come into play so that's the case and in this case for you kirsty and talking about your particular question you're definitely not not controlling.
And that is the difference. If you get completely obsessed about it, you're bulldozing your way there. There's no real co-creation process.
And I can say it is one way to do it, but be warned because again, universe will always give you what you need.
And you could be completely obsessed, bulldoze your way to something.
Then you finally get there to realize, oh dear, that is not what I wanted and this is not the job.
So it's a really important thing there.
Out the other thing here is and i just want to also mention since we're on this topic it's not a topic i talk a lot a little bit about like i said in general because there's already so much information out there but the other thing too is what you've got to be careful here too is in that controlling space sometimes that can lead and it depends on your emotional state in that controlling controlling space.
[20:35] If your energy is not centered and calm, you don't even go into a controlling aspect.
You can accidentally and unwillingly find yourself in a manic manifesting state, right?
I don't know whether how many of you have ever heard that, but I'll walk you through it because I see a lot of people guilty of it, but a lot of the time they don't even realize they're doing it.
[21:07] Manic manifesting is almost like it's obviously manic, meaning quick, a lot, crazy, insane kind of amount of energy.
[21:16] Manic manifesting usually only happens when our energy or our emotional state is in a lower frequency.
Long story short, most people who are manic manifesting, their life is not where they want it to be or they've had a real big hit.
For example, lost my job or house, rentals, money, car, whatever it may be. and it causes stress.
It causes a level of worry, stress, anxiety, and of course, those things lower our vibration.
In that space and in that emotional state, when people say, I really need this and I've got to get this.
And it's great because the thing is universe is actually still hearing you because you've got to remember, guys, it's co-creation. As soon as you're thinking it, it's already created.
It's starting to magnetize towards you. But then what happens is when you're in that kind of emotional state of stress and flux.
[22:10] You can be manifest manifesting different things on different days you're not even realizing it that's where it's very dangerous and you've got to be very very careful how that comes about because all of a sudden you can end up exactly in the same position that you started but again i just really need another job right or my job's really stressful i just need another job like in that kind of energy start a manic manifest so yes great you move job like i said three six months later same thing What's really imperative is that when you're in those more stressed or anxious states of.
[22:47] You need to be super mindful that it's not about manifesting your way out of it.
It is more about understanding the lesson in that situation.
[23:01] Every time our emotional state and frequency lowers, there is something in there for us to learn.
If you can figure that out, you're going to be miles ahead and your co-creation process is going to be so much better.
You're going to be able to magnetize what you want with clarity and confidence rather than trying just asking for here, there, and changing your mind every day or every hour.
I've seen people do it and all of a sudden they go, oh, but now I've got this over here and everything's a mess.
That's what happens when we're in that state and we do it there.
So that's manic manifesting.
[23:37] Please be mindful. If that resonates with you, please be mindful.
Of all my advice there is to really take a step back, take a breath and go, you've got to do your best to come back to center, to a point of calm and really start to see things clearly.
That way you are really having a look at your canvas and you're going to map out your canvas a little bit better.
If you're manic manifesting, that is like picking up the whole paint tray and throwing it up the canvas and going, I just need something to stick.
That is not a great space to be in, but I guarantee you though, if that's the space you're working from, universe will provide because you are part of it.
You are connected to it. Your energy, frequency, emotional state, vibration, all play such a vital part about how you're doing it.
So in this case, please be mindful of that. You don't want to get into that space.
I know it can be hard because a lot of the times we're like, oh, but this is not like, oh, it's not providing. I didn't get what I wanted.
Maybe this job didn't come through. If you were in that position, which we've all been in at some point, here's a beautiful way to look at it. Okay.
[24:58] Remember, the things that are happening in your life, universe is providing to you for growth and for lessons. reasons.
[25:06] For that reason, it doesn't matter if you're not getting what you want.
Maybe you need to really trust and believe in the fact that universe is making sure you're going to go in the right direction and not repeat the same pain as you did before or repeat the same mistakes.
So for that reason, whatever, even a lack of response or a lack of energy moving forward at the moment, it's universe's way.
It's like, look, we're still helping you, okay? Okay, it's these situations and even a lack of a response or a lack of receiving a job or a lack of not getting the house that you want or job, whatever.
The whole point is that universe is trying to tell you, well, that's not for you. And you know why they tell you that?
[25:51] This is not for you because we've got something better in store for you.
And you need to trust us a little bit and you need to get on the same page.
If you can just take your time and come back to that center get back to the calmness we'll show you and we'll help you and if you get on the same page as the universe you are going to end up not just manifesting what you want you're going to magnetize what you want show up every day turn up and be that and when you are that when you really are working in that space and you have that alignment and you're working with it absolutely you are not controlling the energy at all you are While working with it, you're allowing the space for the magic of the universe, and it's going to be so much healthier and better for yourself and your outcome because there's going to be something better.
[26:39] Remember, life happens for you. It doesn't happen to you.
Now, don't stress the energetic frequency. I'm going to talk a little more about that in the next episode.
So stay tuned for that if you want to know more about that.
I love this stuff. Laugh on it, but I really do hope that this has helped answer Kirstie's questions. Anybody else have a thing about that?
You might have learned something or two here. If it does, let us know.
And like I said before, guys, if you have a question, you want my help, you want my guidance, you want my input, please feel free to reach out.
I love helping you guys out wherever I can.
And again, thanks for tuning in and listening, and I'll see you on the next episode.
