Manifesting and Divine Power

The art of manifesting is really all about Divine Power. The ability to create exactly the life we want – that certainly is powerful, right? It’s a delicious idea that, in theory, we can all embrace. But in reality … well, it might make us a bit uncomfortable.

In truth, our society is about as comfortable with power as it is with money. The two go hand in hand, after all. Money is third-dimensional power, because more money makes more choices available to us. And we powerfully create our life by making choices!

Our society has seen huge abuses of power. The negative side of power is power “over” others – power gained by taking the ability to choose away from others. Power is not really perceived as positive. The perception of power as seductive, of having a “dark side” (hello, Star Wars!) keeps us in the same love/hate relationship with power that we have with money.

The notion of becoming “too powerful” holds many Lightworkers and highly conscious people back from embracing their power. The most common abdication of power amongst spiritually conscious people is probably found in deference to Spirit, God and the Universe itself. We may talk about our Soul’s purpose as if it were a job assignment or let our intuition or Spirit Guides tell us what we are “supposed to” do – as if we are not truly in charge of creating our own experience.

How much power can we be comfortable with? Can we truly become “too powerful?”

I often get questions from students of my Manifesting Money program on this topic. They worry that, by manifesting their own financial abundance, they may somehow be coercing or interfering with the free will of others.

There’s no question about it – creating exactly what we want is scary. Just this morning, one of my students experienced an uncanny act of manifestation he called “spooky.” What if we really can create ANYTHING we want? Would that be okay? Are we taking away from anyone else, or taking advantage of others, if we embrace our power?

At the end of the day, every person is 100% responsible for their own choices, and for creating their own experience. We all have access to the same level of power. We all are equally powerful in creating all of our circumstances, all the time … even if we do it at varying levels of consciousness.

This is where inequality comes into play, doesn’t it? We are all equally able to access the same energetic resources. The difference between us, however, is conscious awareness of those resources! If we are conscious of our power, while another person is still stuck in blame, victimization, and looking outside of themselves for answers … then while we have the same theoretical level of access to power, in reality, only one of us is leveraging this resource. Which effectively makes one of us more powerful than the other!
At the same time, isn’t this a disempowering perspective to the other person? Isn’t consciousness itself a choice that is available to everyone? Is it ever appropriate to consider ourselves more powerful or empowered than another person, who is also a Divine Being?

But what if they are not aware of their Divinity? Does that give us a measure of greater responsibility?

These are difficult questions we must wrestle with if we are to truly, whole-heartedly embrace our ability and power to create the experience we want for ourselves. There are no easy answers. In the end, we must trust our personal discernment in aligning our power with our own highest good, and the highest good of all.
