…because…immediately below, we take care of some amazing animal stuff, as promised in this podcast episode.

Here are photos of the splendid Caracal.

Stunning!

We just love the diverse and startling beauty that abounds on this Earth we all share.

Not be outdone, here is some video of the Tree Kangaroo.

(And you thought regular kangaroos were ‘exotic.’)

…and last, the Asian Fishing Cat.

All right.

Now on to the main topic.

In this episode, we had fun talking about The Thing that’s up front for us, when it comes to the New Age-y topic of “manifesting.”

The Thing is this:

The whole point of “manifesting” is Who You Become.

Put another way:

The whole point is not “how much material or ego-centric things can I get for myself?”

The main focus, and the real excitement, lies in Who You Can Become for yourself (and others), at the soul level.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you’re manifesting something “out there”

Because what you’re actually “manifesting” is… your… SELF.

You’re manifesting You

You’re changing (manifesting) Who YOU are.

So, yes, we all have a vision for things we want, whether it’s a beloved community, a different job, or a better relationship, etc.

But, as Martin Luther King, Jr. said…

What’s that again?

…this will require a qualitative change in our souls…

In other words, manifesting a physical dream successfully* requires a change (a manifestation) at the soul level.

*For more on what we mean by manifesting successfully, check out episode 17 True Success: Feminine and Masculine Aspects of Success.

Who is the You 2.0 that is required to bring your physical dream into reality?

• Who do you have to be, in order to create and sustain the change you want?

• What needs to be different in your heart, soul, and spirit, so that you can be the change you want to see in the world?

• How does your perspective need to shift, so that you can recognize the next step to take…and take it?
