The Long, Strange #History of ‘Manifesting’

It is only by understanding the religious and occult tradition from which the concept of manifesting descends that we can see it for what it truly is: a spiritualized gloss on the same deluded logic that suggests that #poverty is a choice, and that underpins so much political #disinformation. After all, if reality is only ever what we make it, then those who possess the fewest scruples about conforming to the truth are the ones who will have the most power to shape the #future.

The desire to achieve something is fundamental in order to achieve it. But considering that desire as the main cause of the achievement is too much.

It also sounds quite arrogant: I achieved that because I wanted to achieve it....
