The Growing Trend Of Intention Manifestation

By Joshua James

Since the release of "The Secret, " the idea that we create our own dreams through the power of intention manifestation has reached a broader range of people. Once an "out there" idea, it is now a common topic of discussion, as people discover their curiosity about the mysteries of our own subconscious minds. Being responsible for what happens in our lives is becoming a more popular concept.

Being open to the idea that our reality is our own creation is powerful. The simplicity of performing daily tasks, whether it be cooking a meal or running an errand, can be seen as part of our mental picture before it reaches the physical world. Expanding that concept to include creating more of what we want in our lives, seen in this way, is not a huge stretch.

Many books have been written about visualization, positive thinking, affirmations and the like. For some, they lead to disappointment when they don't return an instant return. For others, it develops a habit of using the mind as a tool to see the world in a more positive light. Setting goals and imagining them to be achieved can be a powerful tool for shining a finer light on one's life.

Too easy? Possibly. However, following the principles of positive thinking has led to happiness and success for many people. For some, their measure of success is in doing good works, for others, it is having a fulfilling family life. Not everyone defines happiness and success in the same way, but to achieve it, there seems to be a common thread of attitude and of feeding the subconscious mind with positive thoughts.

For so many more, taking responsibility for their lives seems daunting. They feel no control in their lives and no power to change them. The ways to turn this attitude around could fill a book store, and if it were easy, we would all be living the lives or our dreams. There doesn't seem to be a magic trick to all of this, as each person's life unfolds in a unique way.

It's possible that attaining dreams is out of reach for reasons we cannot see: karma, destiny, the journey of the soul. Possibly it is all meaningless, with no point or difference to be made in spite of one's efforts. None can say, but humanity does seem to be on a search for deeper meaning and a way to tap into achieving a life that works.

Possibly it is our own intuition that can lead the way. Some suggest that our internal guidance system has more power than we have been taught to understand. If nothing else, developing an inner calm can make external situations more bearable.

However we wish to define our lives, intention manifestation is a compelling concept. Learning to tap into the power of our own minds is a growing and compelling notion, and taking responsibility for how our lives are working, or not working, is a challenge worth taking.
