If it reaches them it may also reach ppl hearing the message/content themes for the 1-2x. Some studies suggest hearing smthng 3-5x can start to make it feel familiar. Planting gay little seedsđą
Perfect timing for the 2 year MV anniversary coming up
Selfishly I just wanna hear more of your thoughts

Time to return to the original blueprint : Manifesting not just for ourselves, but for each other
Manifestation isnât about escaping individual struggle, itâs about shifting reality together so no one has to struggle alone
comment in response to
post
You cultivated together through reciprocity, shared belief, and alignment with natural forces
colonialism & capitalism stripped these concepts of their communal power
Thatâs why so much of this wisdom now feels inaccessible or ineffective
Because it was never meant to be used in isolation
comment in response to
post
Manifestation was about harmony, survival, and the well-being of the entire community
The idea that one person could hoard success while others suffered would have been seen as completely out of balance with natural law
In many cultures, abundance wasnât something you manifested for yourself alone
comment in response to
post
True manifestation isnât just mindset
Itâs structure, repetition, and shared belief moving in the same direction
Thatâs why movements create real change Thatâs why communities that build together rise together
In Indigenous wisdom, manifestation was never about personal gain

When people in power manifest, theyâre not just thinking good vibes, sprinkle sprinkle
They have institutions, media, and generational wealth reinforcing reality
Everyone else is told to think their way out of struggle, but without reinforcement, that energy collapses under the weight of reality
comment in response to
post
Thatâs why it looks like it works better for people in power, constantly reinforcing that reality
Theyâve mastered group energy while everyone else is playing an individual game
Tools have been hidden, designed to keep people focused on individual success instead of collective power
comment in response to
post
If we want true abundance, healing, and change, stop thinking like lone manifestors, start thinking like co-creators
Prayer circles, political rallies, social movements all designed to magnify intention and impact using the same principles
Manifestation was / is a collective tool, not individual
comment in response to
post
Transformation happens when energy moves together, not alone
When capitalist self-help isolates manifestation as an individual pursuit, it cuts people off from the real source of power
communal force turns belief into reality

White men didnât invent magic
They stole it, stripped it of its communal power, and sold it back to us as capitalist self-help jargon
When you reduce it to a solo quest, it loses its real power
Thatâs why so many people chasing personal riches through these principles end up disillusioned
comment in response to
post
These principles were originally about shared intention & aligning w natural forces to create abundance for the whole, not just the few.
The book strips away the intended communal essence by turning them into a tool for personal gain and control. I want to explore how they can be reclaimed
comment in response to
post
These teachings were never meant to be about hyper-individualistic success or wealth hoarding.
That jackass stole concepts that didnât belong to him, like you said he wasnât a psychologist.
comment in response to
post
The concern about groupthink is valid, especially when ideas like âalignmentâ get twisted into tools for control rather than empowerment.
But itâs a principle that has existed for centuries in indigenous wisdom and quantum understanding of energy.
comment in response to
post
Strip the capitalism and competition - alignment here isnât about forcing sameness or silencing dissent. Itâs about attracting those who genuinely want to work toward a shared vision, so that our energy amplifies rather than scatters.

A band is in alignment when they play in harmony, but each musician still brings their own unique sound and practices on their own whatever they want before rehearsal
A strong, effective group thrives on different skills, ideas, and viewpoints, but it also has to have a CORE guiding intention
comment in response to
post
So a way to take out the capitalism is look at it more like an orchestra or even a jazz band not like a high control group.
everybody in the band plays the same rhythm and to be in the same key.
Everyone is still a musician and maybe has a solo to showcase their unique sound in time.

A lot of these ideas existed in ancient wisdom long before he repackaged them for 20th-century capitalism.
My interest isnât in idolizing Hill, but in reclaiming the aspects of these ideas that can be used for alignment, collaboration, and shared liberation rather than just individual gain.
comment in response to
post
I totally get your concerns about this book and the ways it has been misused, especially in hyper-individualistic or cult-like spaces.
My focus isnât on blindly endorsing Hill or his background but on exploring how collective energy when aligned with integrity can be a force for real change.

Itâs one of many books that Iâve picked up from my neighborhood library this year. Not sharing as a Bible or because I agree with every word of even that chapter.
It had a particular section I wanted to share and it has a few other sections Iâm exploring as they relate to my overall explorationsâŚ

Uniting millions with a common energetic frequency amplifies the likelihood of real-world impact.
High emo states (joy, nostalgia, empowerment) enhance neuroplasticity, making people more receptive to new ideas & directives.
The more fans collaborate, the smarter and more effective they become.
comment in response to

When passionate, creative, and driven people unite, they generate fresh ideas, strategies, and solutions that wouldnât have emerged individually.
Studies show that when people engage deeply in conversation or shared activities, their brainwaves literally sync up.

You knew this was comingâŚ. I canât read anything without somehow coming back to Blondie.
Fan groups already know how to mobilize for trends sooo now what if that energy was channeled toward real-world impact?
comment in response to
post
Itâs not just about having smart or successful people, you need people who complement each other and work well together
When multiple people reinforce each otherâs confidence and aspirations, it strengthens faith and accelerates progress.
comment in response to
post
When people collaborate with a shared goal, their minds sync, creating a collective intelligence that leads to new ideas, problem-solving, and accelerated success.
The group must be in alignment; negative energy or conflicting interests will disrupt the effectiveness of the mastermind.

Decolonize your relationship with "productivity"
Question the guilt around "wasting time"
Allow creativity to flow without deadlines, being "behind" is an artificial concept
Value presence over efficiency
Reclaim natural rhythms
comment in response to
post
When we question linear time, we question the entire colonial project and its ongoing impacts.
We start seeing how enforced linearity keeps us disconnected from deeper ways of knowing and being.
comment in response to
post
Linear view erased indigenous understanding of time.
Future generations as current stakeholders
Natural cycles as measures of life
Stories that exist outside sequential order
Sacred time that moves in spirals
The "forward" direction only serves capitalism
comment in response to
post
The colonial worldview requires a specific direction, a line from "primitive" to "civilized," from "backward" to "advanced."
Label indigenous cultures as "behind" or "stuck in the past"
Frame colonization as "helping" people "move forward"
Create hierarchies based on technological "progress"
comment in response to

Before factories needed synchronized labor, humans lived by sun cycles, seasons, tides, hunger, fatigue
The idea that it could be the "wrong time" to eat or sleep would have seemed absurd
Time was something you moved through, not something that confined you
comment in response to
post
The clock became the perfect prison, we embraced our containment
We internalized mechanical measurements as truth, as the "right" way to exist
We become our own guards, checking watches, measuring ourselves against artif standards
comment in response to
post
Michel Foucault's concept of the panopticon - a prison designed so inmates never know if they're being watched, they police themselves
We feel personally deficient when we fail to conform to artificial time constraints. Rather than questioning system, we blame ourselves for not managing time better
comment in response to
post
The phone makes this worse making precise time constantly accessible
Before mechanical clocks, they'd use approx solar positioning. Now we can obsessively check down to the second
Our relationships with clocks have created a temporal panopticon where we constantly monitor ourselves against time
comment in response to
post
Weâve internalized these values so deeply that we police ourselves and each other
We experience genuine anxiety and guilt when we deviate from these artificial rhythms, even when alone
We're never fully present because we're always partially conscious of time's "passage" and upcoming commitments
comment in response to
post
For most of human history, time was experienced more like a flow of events than a grid of exact moments. The modern experience of time as a precise, synchronized measurement is relatively recent in human history
comment in response to
post
The wide standardization of time came with railways 1800s. Before then, if one city was 10 minutes behind the next, it didn't matter much
Factory work also played a huge role. Suddenly, workers needed to arrive at exactly the same time each day, rather than just "at dawn" / "after breakfast."
comment in response to
post
"AM" (ante meridiem) and "PM" (post meridiem) Latin, meaning "before midday" & "after midday"
Medieval Europeans still didn't think of "3 PM" as a fixed moment - they thought in terms like "mid-afternoon" or "vespers" (evening prayers)
comment in response to
post
Romans initially used a similar system to the Egyptians, with variable-length hours, it was gradually replaced as mechanical clocks became more common in medieval Europe.

Ancient China developed a system that divided the day into 12 "double hours" shichen Each was associated with one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. used for 2+millennia
Babylonian astronomers divided zodiac into 12 parts, developed mathematical tables to predict varying lengths of daylight
