A Manifestor’s Guide to the Apocalypse
Now more than ever it seems impossible to dream; impossible to plan; impossible to even consider the future. It feels like we are in a downward spiral with new, lower rock bottoms appearing every single day: a global pandemic, injustice on the basis of race and gender, job loss, personal loss, the election, our world literally being on fire, and the list goes on and on. I think at this point it’s pretty safe to say that we are living in the apocalypse. It actually almost feels relieving to say it. Rather than waiting for more destruction and the end, we’re in the midst of some of the biggest endings the human race has ever seen. And that’s exciting! If you’re thinking I’m a psycho right now, hear me out.
What Comes After the Apocalypse?
No one ever talks about what comes after the apocalypse. What comes after everything we ever knew has been destroyed? What comes after the burn? Fertile soil. The opportunity for everything we ever wanted beyond the predictable boundaries of what we knew. Our future is actually in our grasp now more than ever.
For years we have filtered what we want by the systems that determine what is possible for us. Now that those systems of predictability have been derailed, our future is no longer on autopilot. Our options are no longer limited. We have been given access to something we lost long ago — conscious choice. The very structures that we once knew are being burned to the ground. The only way back is to rebuild them from the ground up. And if we’re rebuilding, we might as well build what we want this time. We might as well choose what we want this time. We might as well be what we want this time.
More is Available Than Before
Even to the most skilled manifestor, this can seem overwhelming because more is available to us than before. Everything we once knew is different. Our towns as we knew them are different. Industries are different. We are different. Our energies won’t interact in the same way and that means new things are possible. There are new opportunities out there that weren’t available to us before.
I recently spoke with a client who got his dream condo on the waterfront in New York because he could afford it now because COVID completely changed the NY housing market. Another client of mine felt pulled to speak out after the death of George Floyd. She created a deck of slides and before even editing it shared it with her company. Now she is a leading liaison for Black Lives Matter for one of the biggest companies in the world. She is earning more, getting more respect at work, and beginning to fall in love with a place she almost abandoned at her darkest moment. She is making a difference and an impact so massive its blowing her and those around her away.
How to Manifest What You Were Never Allowed to Want
So let’s get technical here. How do we even begin to dream, plan, or manifest when the things that once grounded us and determined our possibilities are gone?
- You were given 5 senses for a reason so use them. You might not know what the life you actually want looks like and that’s ok. How do you want to feel — Empowered? Excited? Free? Challenged? Important? Impactful? Inspired? Like Beyonce after a blow out? Get specific. What do you want to wake up feeling like? What does it feel like to be the best version of you?
You can build from there using your other senses. What does it smell like — Fresh flowers in your home just because? Aromatherapy oils from your weekly massages? Fresh baked cookies from the home bakery business you started? What does it taste like — Home cooked meals? Adrenaline and excitement? Courage and bravery? The air in the city you’ve always wanted to move to? What does it sound like — congratulations? A genuine thank you from someone you helped with your purpose? Your favorite song on full blast in celebration? An I love you from your person? An I believe in you from yourself? You get the idea.
2. Give yourself permission to say no to all of the options in front of you. Remember that regardless of the choices in front of you, saying no is always an option too. Maybe your body doesn’t want to go left or right. Maybe it wants to go up. By saying no you are also saying yes to the call in your heart. You are saying yes to the knowing that you deserve something so amazing you can’t even see it in front of you yet.
3. Throw “supposed tos” out the window. Supposed to is a trap. Anytime you feel yourself filtering your dreams because of what you’re supposed to do, slap yourself in the face HARD. You can live a life beyond the supposed tos. Heck if this is the end of the world, there are no rules anymore so follow your heart and do what actually fulfills you. Whatever you’ve been waiting for permission to do, it’s time. Make it epic.
4. Take some time to listen to yourself again. Maybe you’re totally lost when it comes to what you want and who you are. Honestly you’re not alone here. But regardless of what you’ve done or believed in the past, I promise there is a part of you that remains constant and unchanging. A part of you that dreams and wants and exists beyond the boundaries you placed on it. Allow it to speak to you.
Be a crazy person who talks to themselves. Sing out loud. Write in your journal. Even if nothing comes, just start writing “I have nothing to say” over and over again until that true self takes over and it begins to flow. Honor the voice within you. It has something to say that can’t be found just by sharing other peoples’ social media posts. Take time to sit with yourself even if it’s just for you. If you don’t feel called to speak to anyone else, don’t. We need less noise anyways clouding up the truth. But when it’s time, and you’ll know when it is, advocate and do so with precision and utter honesty.
It’s Just Physics
Something is coming. More than what we are seeing now. Something that exists beyond the pain and suffering and injustice. Balance is the cosmic law of the universe. That means for all of the bad and utter darkness we are seeing and experiencing now, there is an equal amount of light and goodness on the horizon. And I’m not just talking about the little things that go unnoticed like the kindness of a neighbor or the insane amount of courage from our healthcare workers. I’m talking about an in-your-face HOLY SHIT CAN IT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS?! type of good. Really it’s just physics right? For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. This scale of darkness calls in an equal but opposite amount of goodness that we have never seen. It might be blinding and even uncomfortable to look at. Our job right now is also to get ourselves ready to receive that amount of good and acknowledge that stepping up and manifesting consciously is a part of ushering that goodness into reality.
So what comes after the apocalypse? I don’t know. Those 3 words have never felt better or more freeing to say. It’s time to journey beyond the boundaries of what we knew and into the realm of endless possibilities. I cannot wait to see what we choose this time.
