I’m RIGHT NOW going to change my story and rewrite, rewire, retrain my subconscious mind. Rewinding the old tapes and will be recording my new play book! Love this concept. Thank you.

Working on this- everyday. It makes total sense- The first thing I have noticed is that I must consciously aware- of living in the moment.

This is really compelling and comes right at a time where I have finally begun working on the deeply embedded traumas and deficiencies that I wasn't even really aware of a couple of weeks ago. There are things here that make a lot of sense including how rewriting old narratives and finding new meaning or ways of processing can lead to possibilities that were never accessible before. I'm truly grateful to have read this work this morning.

This is the part that feels most true: manifestation is not about asking harder. It is about becoming someone who no longer contradicts what they say they want.

Affirmations can name the desire.

But the nervous system, the choices, and the story we keep repeating decide what we actually live into.

I think the challenge is often that people try to jump into a new identity instead of peeling back the layers of conditioning that our hiding who we have always been.

I had tried this approach of becoming and I ended up becoming someone very successful by society standards, yet despite doing all the ā€˜right things’, including being very conscious of my health (looking back, it was actually an eating disorder and exercise addiction disguised as a healthy lifestyle), I was the most exhausted and sick I have ever been in my life. Eventually I hit a wall.

What I had to do after that was not the to become someone else, but instead, allow myself to unbecome everything I wasn’t. At a certain point a purpose made itself clear to me - to become more authentically connected to others, nature/the universe, and myself and to find a way to live that benefited me and the world around me equally.

Then I just got curious and started following the pull of my heart, which has led me to living a life I never could have imagined, and stepping into an identity that I have stumbled across through trial and error. I kept asking ā€˜what if life can be more magical than anything I have imagined?’ and it turns out, it absolutely can be.

Life became a dance with life.

I was married 30+ years to a narcissist. Then spent 2 years in the fire after jumping out of the pan. My ā€œpicker was broke,ā€ as they say. After the fire, I knew I had to do something different. So I manifested the right person through an 18 month process where God sent a series of men who taught me what I had to learn in order to change who I was looking for and be in a position to see him when he showed up. And he did! Complete with messages about EXACTLY who was coming. We’re married now. It’s one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had in my life. But it would not have been possible without the four years of deep healing work I had done before I was ready to go through that 18 month process. Note: I had shed what definitely wasn’t working before I entered that process. Also note: that true manifestation means surrendering to whatever process God takes you through to be ready for what’s coming.

Great post Jade.

​In my own experience, hypnotherapy has been an incredibly powerful tool for reframing the past. It doesn't just transform reactive behavioural patterns in the present; it actively builds deep confidence within the body-mind by rewriting how we relate to our history.

​This profound change of being is a critical part of the overall crystallisation of the ego. You have to fully build, mature, and integrate the vehicle before arriving at the space where you are finally ready to let it go.

What I appreciated most about this piece is that beneath the language of manifestation and identity shift, it seems to point toward something deeply human: that we are not fixed beings, but continual works of art ~ always unfinished, always becoming.

Not in the pressured sense of constant self-optimization, where every hardship is framed as failure or every wound becomes a mindset problem. But in the quieter sense that human beings are shaped over time by experience, memory, suffering, love, environment, nervous systems, choices, and meaning.

A painting gathers layers.

A forest changes through seasons.

A body heals and scars.

A person becomes.

I think many people intuitively know this. We are not the exact same person we were ten years ago, or even last year. Sometimes survival itself changes identity. Sometimes healing does. Sometimes love does.

What matters is remembering that becoming is not always upward in the capitalist ā€œbetter/faster/more successfulā€ sense. Sometimes becoming means softer. More honest. More embodied. More able to receive rest, connection, or joy without fear.

There is something compassionate in viewing humans this way ~ not as failures for being unfinished, but as living things still unfolding.
