My whole life, I had been trying to reach a certain result, a certain end and I wouldn’t allow myself to feel at ease until I got there. And for a while, it worked. I would put in the effort because I believed I would eventually arrive through sheer will.

But as I began to gain consciousness, I realized something: the effort I put into reaching a specific outcome was equal to the effort I avoided investing in regulating the part of me that needed that outcome.
And then, my absurdist self surfaced.

What is manifestation?
Contrary to how the New Age world defines it — manifestation is not about getting what you want. It’s about reaching a state of being where you’re indifferent to the outcome. Whether it happens or not doesn’t affect your mental or emotional state.

We’re not meant to “live the desire” the way many New Age teachers say — “Live in the end,” “Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled.”
This is where it gets tricky: assuming the wish fulfilled can get you there, but it’s not the path to the desired reality.
To simplify that idea : assuming the wish fulfilled is actually just indifference.

We’re designed to keep moving forward. So the moment you receive the money, the person, the dream life, you’ll almost instantly seek something else. Why? Because what you truly desired wasn’t the object, it was the feeling.

To chase the desire is to chase an illusion.
The feeling doesn’t live in the desire, it lives in you.

That’s where absurdity comes in handy.
The absurdist simply doesn’t give a fuck — and honestly, I believe we all carry some degree of absurdity within us.
Anyone without existential certainty is, in some way, an absurdist.

But the absurdist holds a secret: nothing he’s offered can bring him meaning — and so, nothing can control him. That is inner sovereignty. And inner sovereignty is the first rule to everything.
I say “everything” because I don’t want to say “manifestation” — manifestation is not something to do, it’s a state to reach.

When an absurdist wishes for something, it’s not from desperation. He desires it for the fun, for the experience, not from need.
Because he knows the object of desire holds no real meaning. So he treats the desire as small, as light — and the smaller the desire becomes, the more likely it is to come.

I’m not saying we ought to see life as absurd.
I’m saying it is absurd, our desires are absurd, our attachments to them are absurd.
Whatever meaning you’ve attached to your desire is the reason you don’t have it.

So my advice to you today is this:
Remove every bit of importance you’ve given your desire.
And act like the unbothered God that you are
because you are.

Inspired by the absurd clarity of Albert Camus, and shaped by the wisdom of Nero Knowledge.
