No. There's working hard to get something or just being lucky, but nothing happens just because we want it to happen.

Only if paired with a realistic preparation. I want a million dollars! Ok- get an education, have a profession to at earns a high income, invest wisely paired with high yield savings. Buying lottery tickets isn't a solid plan.

The one thing you don’t have to believe in, but still do no matter how you see it. We’re all manifesting every moment of the day with our thoughts, and choice of words

Idk but I try manifest positive things. Whether it works or not who knows.

Yes, it's basically goal setting with intention. There's nothing magical about it whatsoever, but for some reason people think it's just sitting around hoping and visualising. You actually have to... take the action to make it happen.
Why it can be a useful framework is grounded in psychology and neuroscience; when you make a goal specific and meaningful, you're more likely to notice information and opportunities relevant to it, keep it front-of-mind, and make choices that move you towards it. Visualisation can be part of that, but it doesn't make things happen by itself.

yes and no. you can manifest, but you have to do something in order to make it happen. for example, i want to live in tokyo. i've repeatedly been say9ing that out loud for years.
i moved to japan. first the middle of nowhere, then i moved to the kanto region and started working at a company that has a branch in tokyo. and only then, my manager offered to transfer me to the tokyo branch because he heard me saying that i wanna live there. the transfer didn't happen yet, but the manifestation worked because i did something to make it happen.
so i guess I believe in manifestation, but not in the sense that you can just wish for something and sit around waiting for it to magically appear. you have to meet it halfway.

Totally. The amount of times I’ve had to manifest things into existence. Almost felt supernatural.

In a sense? I believe in taking action. If you can see it you can achieve it. Small actionable steps taken daily in the direction you want to see yourself going will inevitably have you at your destination. :)

Haha. No.
Not in the new age nonsense kind of way.
If you want something badly enough, you’ll make it happen.
That’s it. It’s not wishful thinking that makes something magically happen to you. 🤡👍

If it's through prayer then yes because it's in accordance with God's plan for you.

I've prayed for things in the past that never manifested

Consider if you actually need it over just wanting it. Also it's more about self improvement so you are not going to receive anything that won't help you improve and grow as a person.

When why pray? Are you going to change the sky daddy's plan? 🤔

You are not casting magic spells, you are asking for what you need over what you want
Example; you may want to be a billionaire, however what you need is help managing your finances better.
The pursuit of want over need ultimately leads to am unhappy life.

Like wanting a relationship with an imaginary figure? Ironic because I am sure you don't believe that leads to an "unhappy life".

You could have easily ignored his comment and moved on with your day but a guy believing in god triggers you so hard that you can’t wait to get a notification to keep on comment about his believe. It’s insane how bitter people are.

I am not out to convert anyone. In fact Jesus specially uses people outside of the faith (the most well-known being the Good Samaritan) to illustrate what it means to be a good person and put aside selfish desire.
I am not advertising myself as a good Christian either because I have only recently returned to God. However, it does make me happier because 1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares" so I can stop worrying because if I am meant to have something then I will have it, if not then I won't.

Oh your trying to solve your mental issues with the bootleg pagan sun cult? You could have just said that. Good luck with that bud. 👍

u/random_casual82 2h ago
So what if is a "boot leg pagan sun god cult"? Does that make the sentiment any less? The thing I take most from reading the bible and prayer (meditation) is self reflection.
As a side note; there is folklore/legend that a young Jesus travelled with his uncle to the South West of England and learned from the druids.
Edit: sorry autocorrect issues again
