Man in the Mirror PROJECT: The Art of Manifesting

Symbol used by
Sri Aurobindo

Have you ever heard of the book called "The Secret"?  Written by Rhonda Bryne it is based on the law of attraction and became a best seller some years back.  It's philosophy is simple; that with positive thought you can attract wealth, health and happiness.

There have been similar philosophies, by Louise Hay for example, who has created many books relating to the same principal.  Her book, "You Can Heal Your Life" exemplifies the knowledge that what we think, we also are.

There is one part that is missing however, that it is not only our thoughts, but the feeling behind our thoughts that spur our reality into motion.

There is an art to manifesting.   One of my true inspirations, Sri Aurobindo used a symbol seen many times on this blog called the Star of David. His symbol as shown above at left, is the depiction of manifestation, or creation, itself.  He writes the following:

The descending triangle represents sat chit ananda.  The ascending triangle represents the aspiring answer from matter under the form of life, light and love.  The junction of both - the central square - is the perfect manifestation having at the centre the avatar of the supreme - the lotus.

The water inside the square - represents the multiplicity, the creation.

Going back to some previous posts, you may remember this same star present for creation in use by St Germaine, the ascended master, and at the heart center chakra, as depicted by those in Tibet.

The descending triangle, sat chit ananda, represents our consciousness.  Where is your state of consciousness?  In other words what are your thoughts?

The ascending triangle, the answer from matter is in the form of life, light and love.  What is the root feeling, the emotion behind the thought?  For some it may be a belief that a earnest prayer will be answered, for others it will be the thought that "I will lose weight", but it will not be supported by the "feeling" that they will.  When the two merge in harmony, that's when true manifestation takes form.  For then it is only in that one moment of thought and feeling, that starts the evolvement and process of creation itself.  We are the creators of our own worlds.  When we begin to realize that it is the power that is indeed coming from us that creates our world, we can begin to manifest those things that we never may have even dreamed possible.
