Can Environment Influence Manifesting?

Written by: B. Jackson

Can your environment and/or the people in your life influence what you want to manifest into your life?

Do you have emotions?

If you answered yes then your environment especially other people in your life can influence what you manifest into your life.

Let’s make a distinction right here. You are doing the manifesting. But your thoughts and emotions can be influenced.

What does it take to manifest something?

Concentration on what you want to manifest backed by strong emotion.

But we aren’t always in control of our emotions. Sometimes we may be having the greatest day and then someone or something may do something to ruin it. Perhaps someone trys to convince you that your dreams and aspirations are unreasonable. Perhaps someone brings up an aspect of your own personal character that you dislike and are working to change.

Yes we do have the choice of how we react. But for many it is hard not to react in a negative manner. Especially at first. We always have that first initial emotional response. It does however become easier to control after time has passed.

Consider watching a movie. Notice how we respond emotionally to what we are seeing on the screen, even though we know it isn’t real. This is what is known as the, “momentary suspension of disbelief.” What we are watching is not real, but we find ourselves caught up in emotions that are very real.

You are human. You are going to experience a wide variety of emotional responses during the course of the day based on the experiences you have that day. And we need to be honest with ourselves and realize that at times we are going to get sidetracked by these emotional experiences, which are not in harmony with that which we are wanting to manifest into our lives.

Who is going to manifest their dreams faster? The person being told, “You can’t! You can’t! You can’t!” or the person being told, “You can! You can! You can!”

We also need to be aware that what we see in our environment can play a role in what we manifest. Someone who lives in a part of town that sees poverty and crime everyday is going to have a harder time manifesting abundance than someone who already lives it everyday.

As if it isn’t hard enough for us to combat negative influences by what we see and hear. There are also the things we don’t consciously see and hear that go directly to our subconscious mind.

Did you know your senses bombard your brain with so much data at any one time (about 10 million bits of information per second) that, in order to maintain your sanity you only process a very small fraction of the incoming data (about 40 bits per second)?

But don’t think that your subconscious isn’t taking in a lot more than you are aware of. And don’t think this isn’t influencing what you are manifesting. We have many things influencing what we are manifesting that we are not aware of.

We have over 50,000 thoughts a day. Are you aware of all those 50,000 thoughts? Can you tell me what your 50,000 thoughts were yesterday?

Of course not.

But you better believe that those 50,000 thoughts are influencing what is manifesting into your life. This is why it is so important to learn to quiet our minds.

We need to learn to silence our mind so we can have a direct connection to our subconscious which in turn has a direct connection to our higher self. Through the silence we can then make sure we are only sending the thoughts which will align with that which we want to manifest.

Consider a calm lake. You throw a rock into the lake. You can see the ripples of the waves made by your rock. But what happens if a thousand other rocks are also thrown in with yours. The wave from your rock will get lost in the myriad of other waves.

Your thoughts ultimately determine what you manifest in your life, but your thoughts can be influenced or even lost. You are human.

We need something to distract our distracting thoughts, to help us quiet are minds and concentrate on what we want in life.

If you are constantly in control of your emotions then great, but if you are like most of us that is easier said than done.
