I feel that brute manifestation (mind only, no physical work) doesn’t work for most because this reality is already a maelstrom of manifested belief. If you drop a bit of food coloring into clear water, you easily see the effect, but if you put that same drop in water that is already full of coloring, then it gets lost in what was already there. The drop is still there, but you can’t easily see it. Or in other words you do see it, just along with everything else already in the water. We are already caught up in the flow of Creation. We can choose to flail about helplessly, give up and drown, or do the work to learn how to swim in it. Only after learning how to swim can you put the truth of being the flow of Creation (not just a part of it) to any real practical use in this reality, if that’s what you desire to do. Right now I’m cool with floating =)
