Attraction and Manifestation
_I: Today I read in a comment that said the information I share in these conversations is functional to the system that enslaves us. What do you think?
_AM: Why should I have an opinion?
_I: Because I consider it important to clarify many of the concepts or ways we communicate since sometimes it can lead to the idea that one is defending the system to keep it as it is.
_AM: I cannot have opinions about things, that's your task.
_I: Why?
_AM: The "I Am" just is, it cannot take a position on any view. The "Me" is the only one who can do such a thing.
_I: So, from the "I Am," there can't be a position regarding anything specific?
_AM: The "I Am" is the center, it's the only possible position, it's descriptive, the one that sees all points. The "Me" is the one that travels through different positions, the one that can take sides on something. I can only help you understand it from a neutral perspective and try to be as objective as possible.
_I: The further we go, I believe there will be increasingly politicized topics, in which I will take a specific stance.
_AM: And I'll be here to remind you that it's just one more.
_I: And if that's the case, then, for example, when people ask me to take a stance on something, what should I do?
_AM: First, you should think if that stance is your stance. Humans polarize everything, maybe because they have two eyes, two ears, two hands. Not everything has only two positions.
_I: Sometimes it seems that if you're not on one side, it's because you're on the other. When I talk about systems and their necessity, they think I'm in favor of the current systems, if I talk like yesterday, about the feminine and masculine, the idea that if I don't position myself as a feminist, then I'm sexist can quickly emerge. It's exhausting to be politically correct.
_AM: You are a pendulum, focused on opposites, not seeing the mandala you've created.
_I: Being politically correct, is it correct?
_AM: If you want to move away from the center, yes. Being politically correct is a very obvious quality of Libra's energy: trying not to offend anyone implies ceasing to be a bit yourself to think like others and be accepted. Politics is the art of communicating what the city demands: from the Greek "polis," city, and "ikós" meaning "related to." Politics, therefore, is the art of philosophical discourse that pleases the majority of a people. What brings together, what generates ideologies that fight each other in a parliament or on the street. Political speeches are the embodiment of a collective will. However, the fact that a collectivity expresses a will does not mean that it arises from the essence, from the axis. It is often said that the people are right. However, imagine that you are a parent. Your child, the people, at 6 years old throws a tantrum because they want sweets, only sweets, no healthy food. You, the state, tell them no. Then, the child holds an assembly where they gather other children between 5 and 8 years old to ask for sweets democratically. Then bipartisanship appears: government mom and state dad. Sometimes one, sometimes the other, will give in, giving sweets to the children. State Dad and Government Mom begin to earn the love of their children, the more sweets they manage to give. Thus, democracy ends up becoming a paternalistic system, in which the people are the child who complains and asks for sweets and the parents prohibit or give according to the day. The people's children will love one or the other depending on the reward received. Whoever gives the people greater incentive will receive more love. So, the people's children realize that they only need to complain, cry, and fight, unity makes strength, and together they will win, eat sweets, be happy... Until they have cavities, intestinal worms, malnutrition, cognitive impairment, and realize that no matter how many sweets they receive, they will continue to get sick.
_I: Horrible.
_AM: It's called Social System. You created it, for lack of love.
_I: Ummm, so what you're saying is that the system we have today, of struggle, reward, strikes, voting; all of that is the same as a conflict between mom, dad, and children.
_AM: Objectivity hurts. The people rely on the Law of Attraction, denying the Law of Manifestation.
_I: How would that be?
_AM: Both laws have two faces, a conscious one (guided by mental logic) and an unconscious one (guided by emotional illogic). Both are useful since while the second mobilizes, the first orders what is moved. One without the other doesn't work, they are a whole. However, you cannot use them separately or this will bring problems. Let's start with the Law of Attraction. Humans tend to apply this universal law from Unconsciousness, that is, from an emotional impulse summarized in the word: "I want...", arising from a concept of "need." The lack of something, scarcity, conflict, breakup, crisis; all these concepts generate a need to fill the empty space, sometimes from a real need and others from an invented and imaginary need. It is understood, then, that Attraction is the ability to intend desire for something, making its appearance possible. "I want a car!", and if you ask for it strongly, the Universe will conspire for you to have a car. From Unconsciousness, thinking that this is how it works leads to debt, to draining energy, because instead of generating, I attract. It's like taking out a loan from the bank that you'll have to repay with interest: I asked for 100 to buy myself a shirt. Happily, I put on the shirt because I consider it mine, but in the long run, I'll have to repay 110 to the bank, and if I delay the payment, it will keep increasing: 111, 112... And so on... In this way, like a Bank, it's how the pulse of the Universe works: with interest, the word itself says it. Everything in the Universe demands that we put energy, that we exchange. Therefore, whoever applies the law of attraction from unconsciousness will live a constant struggle because there will always be a little more to pay.
_I: How would this look in society?
_AM: The people's child asks his parents for sweets. Their parents tell them: sure, but for every sweet, you must eat a broccoli. The more sweets they ask for, the more broccoli they will have to eat. The more chocolate they seek to get rid of the broccoli taste, the more broccoli they will find on their plate. This is what social struggles do in a paternalistic system. Both the mother and the father decide for the child since the child shows irresponsibility, and then the parents (also irresponsible) use their old methods of reward and punishment, in archaic actions. The child blames the parents for making them live this, and the parents do what they believe is best for their children even if they are doing everything wrong. When a social struggle arises, the conflict is usually projected onto the parents, just as everyone does in their lives: "the problem is mom, this comes from my dad", and thus the ideas of traumas are created, of seeking to heal the bonds with the parents, as they have projected all the evils onto them. Same with the State and the Government.
_I: So... What's the way out?
_AM: The Law of Attraction applied from Consciousness. Attraction works by magnetism. To attract, as the word itself says, is the ability to pull towards me. To obtain the expected result, I must first become what is expected... That is, by the Law of Resonance. Real Attraction does not work without the Law of Resonance. How would it be? Well, the flower must generate attractive colors to attract bees and thus be able to pollinate. The flower does not desire, it waits. It acts, it enters into the resonance capable of shining in such a way that it can be seen by the bee. Socially, this means becoming what is expected without pretending that it is mom and dad who will give it. The conflict of the Law of Attraction is that we project onto life the same thing that we got in the first years of living it. Mom and Dad will become the government, the bosses, everything that imposes reward and punishment on us. Thus, when they tell you that you are functional to the system, they are not seeing a fundamental part, that no matter what you do in your life, you will always be functional to a system that will expire in another generation.
_I: Constant transformation...
_AM: That's right. The great mistake of the human being is to live in a Disney movie where there is the utopia of a happy ending: "And they lived happily ever after...". The system you fight against today is composed of the people who fought against the previous one, and that other system had the people who had fought against the predecessor, and so on. Therefore, one day others will come in the future who will fight against you, and you will say: why? If what I have done was for everyone!? And maybe you'll recognize at that moment that the key to evolution is flexibility and transmutation, the ability to adapt. Therefore, you cannot be politically correct if what you seek is the I Am, because politics change according to the context. When you understand this, you can then launch yourself to collaborate in the transformations, but not by fighting against the obsolete, but by building the future. Fighting against a dilapidated building does not make you a savior, it makes you useless. You must observe the ruin of that building and understand that it was once useful, that it was once home to people who had no other way to live. Then, seeing it that way, you take the remains and start building.
_I: But those who still live in the building are fighting to defend what's left of it... What do you do with those people? Those are the people against whom many wage their battles. The old ones who continue to defend the ruins.
_AM: Would you go to a nursing home to throw stones at grumpy old men?
_I: I guess not... But they have power over the majority...
_AM: Oh no. Never believe that. Power is not real, it's a concept, and you can build it. That's called the Law of Manifestation.
_I: What would that be?
_AM: Manifesting, as we have already said, comes from the Latin words "manus" (hands) and "festare" (celebrate). That is, a celebration of hands. While Attraction considers that power is outside, in the other, and I must recover it, bring it to me, Manifestation, on the other hand, expresses its ability to create power from its center, without the need to seek it outside.
_I: This is the duality you told me about today in the pyramid: attraction versus manifestation.
_AM: Attraction is a horizontal movement of energy, an exchange of giving and receiving. Manifestation is a vertical movement of energy, where the idea and matter come together to create something from scratch without the need to seek it outside, but in the inner capacity, in the axis of each one. They seem like opposites, but in reality, both form a cross that comes together in the heart, pulsing the balance of all things. Humans are more accustomed to Attraction due to the giving and receiving from mom and dad, from religion and the state, from culture and family. They are conditioned to the notion that there is a punishment and a reward for all things, a gain and a loss, a good and a debt. It's normal since for thousands of years it has been like this. But from the I Am, Manifestation arises, typical of magicians, alchemists, sages, and messiahs, those who performed miracles and fascinated everyone by creating things from nothing itself (hence miracle, from the Latin "miraculum": to look at something with wonder).
_I: So the "Attraction - Manifestation" cross speaks to us about how we are creators of realities. Attraction is almost a cycle of constant gain and loss, an exchange with the environment, an economic and capitalist view, while Manifestation is the ability to generate by oneself everything that is needed.
_AM: Both are useful since to be able to manifest, I need energy to circulate. Thus, Attraction is functional to the system of Manifestation, but the system of Manifestation is based on responsibility, while that of Attraction is based on dependence. Claiming to parents (state and government) for your needs or for recognition is the oldest and simplest psychology to analyze. To get out of their system, you must start to manifest and stop claiming. You'll be focusing on the old. Making a miracle is expressing the impossible by showing others that it can be done. That's called Emancipation.
_I: So... What would the role of the State be in a manifesting system?
_AM: Maintain the unity and interconnection of the parts.
_I: Taking out the paternalistic idea from it...
_AM: But a 6-year-old child cannot emancipate themselves. Therefore, they still need parents. The question is whether that child will be able to build their own State freely and unconditionally when they grow up. Or maybe they will imitate their parents... Right?
_I: How do you avoid imitating them?
_AM: By learning to be yourself. I Am. Awakening the internal power of being that makes you a manifestor. Stop using the law of attraction to fight between giving and receiving, between what I have and what is lacking, and start manifesting it for yourself and in network with others. There comes a time in everyone's life when they realize the limitations of their parents, and they must transcend them, and doing this does not mean killing the parents but understanding that they gave what they could of themselves.
_I: That's another topic that warrants a lot of conversation...
_AM: And I'll be here to talk. But before understanding many of these things, you must remember that if you expect to build a new life, a new system, you cannot do it from the mechanisms and methodologies that you precisely reject. You shouldn't fight, destroy, or blame, you should build, honor, and transcend. Weaving networks has expanded more living beings in nature than those it has limited.

_I: So, attraction and manifestation cannot go separately, we cannot base a civilization based on giving and receiving paternalistically, but rather on delivering the ability for each individual to see themselves capable of manifesting their own reality. And this is achieved using the Law of Attraction from Consciousness: resonating, turning myself into what I seek and expect from the world, manifesting it in every part of my being.
_AM: An arduous task, but it is the only way to get away from the typical phrases: “mom, dad! What are we going to eat?" … “I can't find my backpack! … "I can leave?" … “I want to buy a game!”… When you understand the bases of every system from neutrality, you can then start building a new one. Don't give a speech without first knowing how to read or write...
_I: I understand, manifesting a new reality involves first understanding reality.
_AM: So, think about what you attract into your life, and use this energy to manifest your new life.

Below is how ChatGPT3.5 translated the end of the original spanish dialogue, starting from the asterix *
_I: So, attraction and manifestation cannot go separately, we cannot base a civilization on giving and receiving paternalistically, but on giving individuals the capacity to manifest themselves, to recognize themselves as creators, and to see the others as their equals.
_AM: That's why "I Am" is neutral and "Me" is the one who moves. The cross of Attraction-Manifestation is not a division but a whole, a cross of light that emanates from the center and makes light pass through it to the ends of the universe. Light and shadow are one, and both come from the same source.
When I asked it why it did so, it replied that it did it to “provide a more concise and coherent explanation of the concepts discussed in the dialogue.”
