The Six Pillars Of Manifestation

Random House dictionary defines manifestation as the act of making something “readily perceived by the eye or the understanding; evident; obvious; apparent; plain.” Manifestation is the act of making something invisible visible. It is the act of turning something abstract into something concrete and something potential into something real. That’s simple enough, and it’s something we do in both conscious and unconscious ways every day. We make our thoughts plain and evident through our actions and our speech; in so doing, we are manifesting our ideas, our feelings, even our whole personalities. We do our work, and as a consequence, we manifest a product or a service. Normally, we do this kind of manifesting in very ordinary ways in the physical world. We use familiar resources such as money, labor, or creativity to bring things we wish into our lives. But sometimes something we need or want just appears, as if by coincidence, without any seeming effort or unusual activity on our part. Or perhaps we learn to use resources of the mind and spirit that go beyond the ordinary world.

This idea provides a foundation for a cosmology of manifestation. Upon this foundation are six other related ideas. We can call them the six pillars of manifestation. The first three waves, interrelationship, and co-incarnates—deal with the structure of the cosmos. Like the concept of fields, they reflect the body of the universe. The second three—mind, essence, and unity—relate to the spirit that inhabits or expresses itself through that structure. They reflect the soul of the universe. This body and soul are not two separate things but two aspects of one mystery: one single universal incarnation.
