The Difference between "Manifesting" on an Individual Level and a Collective Level
Manifesting circumstances as an individual is different than manifesting circumstances as a collective---
There is an important distinction we need to make as new-agers who believe we create our own reality. Yes, this is true, we create our reality as an individual. Our life is our responsibility and a reflection of our thinking, but that applies to our personal reality.
We always have the power to manifest on an individual level, but here's the thing...

On a collective level, we have to manifest COLLECTIVELY. What does that mean?
Manifesting collectively is a different kind of empowerment than individual empowerment. As an individual you have more control to choose what it is you want to experience, but as a collective there is only one possibility: acceptance. Since you can't control what others in the collective want or don't want the only possibility is to LISTEN TO THEM and accept the reality of their experience. Nobody wins or looses an argument here and compassion and acceptance are your only tools.
And by not fighting what is occurring, you win!
Collective manifesting means letting go of the reigns A LOT. It means listening A LOT. And it also means a much bigger pay off: connection and togetherness. As an individual you can manifest all sorts of material things, goods experiences, etc., but those don't compare to the deep worth of truly connecting with another human being in love.
You have the right to choose whatever you want, but I know whats worth it to me.
Collective manifesting looks like this:
❤️Listening to someone else's pain with open ears and an open heart, bringing both of you closer together
❤️Sharing your material possessions with another when they really needed it, bringing both of you closer together
❤️Preparing a meal or providing food for someone you love or maybe someone you don't even know, bringing you both closer together
❤️Seeing a problem in your community that needs fixing, and while it isn't your job, you decide to fix it anyways, bringing you and your community closer together
❤️Noticing somewhere you could help, and doing it out of the goodness of your heart, simply for the sake of coming closer together with another
TO be a part of the process of collective manifesting means you are not just receiving from the universe but you are also fully giving to the universe. You are becoming an agent of the universe and it is giving through you to those who are asking for something magical to come to them.
The weird thing about all this is that intention is everything. If you do these things out of obligation, you can get depleted emotionally or energetically. But if you are truly doing it out of love, it energizes you even more. The love multiplies. This is the aspect about all of this which is really magical and shows us that abundance is infinite, the fact that you can put effort and work into something and the outcome (the feelings) are greater than the sum of its parts! Anyone who has had a truly loving mutual relationship or experience will know what I am talking about.
Right now, and for YEARS AND YEARS a lot of POC have been asking to be seen, to be acknowledged, to have their pain validated, and to be defended, rightly so, on a collective level by everyone on a collective level. That's what is going on now with this movement.
It's a PROCESS of COLLECTIVE MANIFESTING. Stop fighting it. There is a lot more to be gained by giving than you could ever imagine. There is a lot more to be had by coming together and sharing our time and voices than by pushing back against naturally occurring societal expansion.
Please be a part of it with us. There is a lot of love here.
