I stumbled upon manifestation material around the same time I got caught up in UAPs after Dave Fravor started speaking out on his experience as a pilot. At the time I thought they were completely unrelated, but after coming here it seems more like a synchronicity, of which I have been having quite a few the past year since beginning the gateway tapes.
Any ways, I am curious as to the full extent to which ONE person can change reality and circumstances through 'manifestation'. Are there limits to what one individual can change or 'call forth'?
I have had decent outcomes with 'manifesting' things that are based upon probability: several car accident close calls that I avoided by 'luck' or because I had a 'gut feeling' to act, found the perfect child-friendly kittens at Christmas for my kids (they accept the mauling affection my daughter gives them without ever scratching) small lottery winnings ($100s, the tickets were gifted to me), good weather during canoeing when it called for storms, etc.
What I have not had any success with is altering a major part of my physiology, that being my eye sight. I have needed glasses since middle school and have always hated them, especially when performing athletics. If I were to wake up one day with 20/20 vision without any type of surgery, it would smother out any doubts I still hold as to whether we truly create reality or not. But if alterations of this nature are impossible then I would rather know now and spend my meditative energies on other things instead of this pursuit.
Perhaps I simply have better luck with 'probability manifestations' because it is more 'plausible' to my mind than something as drastic as major physiological changes.
Sorry for the long post, thanks for reading and best of luck in all your endeavours!
P.S. I haven't posted on forums for 2 decades because I find them a waste of time but everything I have read from Prudence just 'clicks' and comes off as genuine with no 'angle', so to speak.
I've recently had a few instances. In one, I was gazing at the stars in the middle of the night because I wanted to, I was standing in the middle of our complex road just being silly and I stared far down the avenue, and my eyes sort of lost focus a touch? I saw a light that was odd ....Anyway it was about 1 am and after about 2 minutes I stepped off the road as a Tesla screamed by at 60 kph, not slowing for our speed bumps at all. Had I not moved he may have ran me over.
In the second, I was driving down a super straight long stretch and I was going 81 kph. The posted limit was 80, and I was really watching far ahead and the same thing happened, my eyes sort of crossed, and about 3 km down the road I saw I guess a slight wavering? After that I was in tune with lights/people crossing the roads so much that I only had to break once maybe for 20 minutes of driving through about....30 lights? I guess I started realizing you can be in harmony with other cars/people after I had the look down the corridor?
I liken it to deja vu that is prescience. However, I don't have definite proof in my mind that this happened just a strrrrrong belief and the fact that I was losing my mind when I realized the flow of synchronicity/harmony.
As well I don't know if this is manifestation or not, but definitely cool experiences!
While I can't speak to the extent that manifestation can be done, my experience so far has been that it tends to function within existing systems. Though as the systems have a great deal of subjectivity and self imposed limitations, I imagine it is likely systems can be bent and changed.
For example, I've been feeling a huge desire to learn how to dance, but I've been too shy to go out and join a dance class. However I set the intent in my heart that I AM going to learn, even if I didn't have a plan yet. Well, shortly after, at a casual meetup for locals, I met someone who works with a dance studio and invited me, which helped so much with getting over my anxiety of joining a class on my own. And this person has even chased after me, recognizing my anxiety, and continually reminding me that the class was an option. She wants to help me get out of my shell. Like, that is exactly what I needed, someone to pull me into it, and that is what came without me even looking for it.
So in this case, I didn't just poof into a dance class, nor did I just instantly download the skill. Not that it may not be possible to do either of those things, but in my case, the universe aligned events to basically carve a path of least resistance into what I wanted.
"I have had decent outcomes with 'manifesting' things that are based upon probability" I personally think, the GCS is a probability field. My CONSCIOUS manifestations that worked, what I was asking for, I already knew it's path of least resistance (probability loves that). SUBCONSCIOUS manifestations though, I feel are where the real power lies, and why routine and ritual are a huge part of magick. Likely even my "conscious" manifestations were only my subconscious ones letting my ego think I had a hand in it tbh.
From what I have experienced the limits of manifestation are inner truth, distance to outcome, and free will of others. I also believe that we can control or influence the outcome but not "how" it comes to pass. We don't get to write the story just influence the ending. So for your example of getting 20/20 vision it may come in the form of getting Lasik, or a new type of glasses that doesn't hinder you as much. Just be open to the solution when it comes because if your response to your request being granted is "Not like that" your just spinning your wheels. Here is a post I wrote on the subject. https://www.jrprudence.com/forum/guides-philosophy-reason/manifestation-guide
