The Relationship Between Manifesting and Charm

From a Vedic perspective, the concept of manifesting has become overused and often misunderstood. Instead of focusing on manifesting things, it is important to understand the relationship between manifesting and charm. The Vedic worldview suggests that desires, or charms, serve the process of evolution. Recognizing and acknowledging preferences that appear in the mind is key. Rather than viewing oneself as the sole manifestor, individuals should understand that their individuality is needed to intersect with what is already being manifested by the unified field of consciousness. Trusting in the charm and moving in the direction of what is found charming allows individuals to serve as agents of progressive change.

Manifestation has become somewhat of a buzzword in the past 20 years or so. The promise of having your desires met easily and effortlessly is a compelling proposition.

So much so that often a disproportionate effort is put into a supposed “process” of manifestation, affirmations, visualizations, and so on, than is put into doing the thing that might be required for the manifestation to occur.

Thom sets the record straight in this episode, looking at manifestation through the lens of “charm,” a specific mechanism of desire that we can use as a compass of sorts, but which doesn’t leave us at risk of the disappointment of unmet expectations.
