00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.000
Hey hey, hi vibe besties.
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.240
Welcome back to another episode of the Mind Lux Podcast.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.399
I'm your host and manifesting bestie, Kimberly Kay.
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.960
Today we are absolutely blowing the roof off the concept of manifestation.
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:31.440
If you've been feeling stuck, waiting for your dream life to finally arrive in the mail, stop right there because we need to talk.
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.159
Let's dive straight into the ultimate truth.
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.479
Time is a total illusion.
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.399
Yep, you heard me right.
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:48.479
The past and the future don't actually exist anywhere except in your own mind, which means there's no separate timeline where your dream life is hiding away from you.
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:49.600
Think about it.
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:59.920
If everything already exists right now in the eternal present moment, then you aren't trying to bridge some massive gap or drag a future desire into today.
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.719
The seeker and the sought are literally the exact same thing.
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:17.439
Okay, so let's pause here because this concept was difficult for me to grasp at first until I really took the time to figure it out in a way I could understand and apply it to my own life.
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:28.640
So, to truly grasp the concept of the eternal present, it helps to look at how leading thinkers, spiritual teachers, and philosophers have dissected.
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:37.680
Most people view time as a straight line, a past that is gone, a present that is fleeting, and a future that is yet to come.
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:44.959
However, deep metaphysics and modern thought argue that only the present moment ever actually exists.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.879
The past is just a memory, a thought happening now.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.280
The future is just imagination, a projection happening now.
00:01:53.519 --> 00:02:00.400
Therefore, the now is not just a point on a timeline, it is the only theater in which life plays out.
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.959
This concept is heavily supported across different fields of human thought.
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:11.759
So, first, let's look at the perspective of one of my favorite spiritual teachers and authors, Eckhart Toll.
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:20.719
In his seminal works like The Power of Now and A New Earth, Toll is perhaps the most well-known modern voice on this topic.
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.879
Toll argues that psychological time is a mental disease.
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:32.879
He teaches that people constantly look to the future for fulfillment or salvation, missing the absolute reality of the present.
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.080
According to Toll, nothing has happened in the past, it happened in the now.
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.479
Nothing will ever happen in the future, it will happen in the now.
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:53.439
For Toll, stepping into the eternal present dissolves anxiety because all stress stems from projecting oneself into a future that does not physically exist.
00:02:53.919 --> 00:03:08.879
This specific insight connects closely to the work of psychologists and researchers who study intolerance of uncertainty, who frequently point out that anxiety is fundamentally driven by the brain's desperate demand for guaranteed outcomes.
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:16.319
This very concept of the eternal present perfectly mirrors what clinical experts teach about letting go of control.
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:24.319
Anxiety lives entirely in the gap between what is happening now and our frantic need to figure out what happens next.
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:31.520
When you drop the requirement to know or control the future, the anxiety mechanism literally starves out.
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:38.479
In academic philosophy, presentism is the school of thought stating that only the present moment is real.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:58.159
The core teaching maintained by ontological philosophers and catalogued extensively in resources like the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is that past entities, like historical figures, and future entities, like unwritten events, do not have an independent physical existence.
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:12.479
Because reality only consists of what is happening right now, any goal or desire you project into a future timeline logically has to be accessed or recognized in the architecture of the present moment.
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:25.439
I don't want to feel like I need to keep convincing you about the importance of the eternal present, but not understanding this concept is actually the very thing that blocked my manifestations for almost a year.
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.560
So I can't stress the importance enough.
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:41.600
In my research on conscious creation and the eternal present, I came across the work of physicist Julian Barber, who is the author of another one of my favorite books, The End of Time.
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.759
He approaches this from quantum mechanics and theoretical physics.
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.879
Barber argues that time as a physical flow does not actually exist.
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.199
So again, past and future do not actually exist.
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:02.720
The universe consists of a series of countless individual now's or static configurations.
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:16.000
He suggests that change is an illusion and that we experience static moments sequentially, but the totality of reality is a timeless continuum where every moment coexists.
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.720
This is what another one of my favorite authors and neuroscientists, Dr.
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:29.680
Joe Dispenza, means when he says that in order to create, you need to become no body, no thing, no time.
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:39.600
He is describing the ultimate meditative state required to step out of your everyday identity and tap into the quantum field of infinite potentials.
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:45.439
In plain English, here is what each part of that phrase means and why he teaches it.
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:56.319
When you become nobody, you stop focusing on your physical form, your aches and pains, your gender, your age, and your physical appearance.
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:03.360
Throughout the day, your brain is constantly anchored to your body through physical sensations and automated habits.
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.439
To create something new, you have to disconnect from the physical identity of who you think you are.
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.600
We have to let go of being somebody, which means your personality or your ego.
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:25.519
You let go of your social roles, your job title, your status, your family responsibilities, and the personality mask you wear for the world.
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:26.480
Why?
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.079
Your ego is tied entirely to your past.
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:40.959
If you keep identifying as the person who has problem X or the person in situation Y, you will keep recreating the exact same life.
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.639
You have to drop the ego to become a blank slate.
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:56.079
In order to become no thing, you withdraw your attention from all material objects, your possessions, your home, your bank account, and your current environment.
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:02.959
As long as your environment dictates how you feel and think, you are just reacting to the material world.
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:09.120
To manifest, you need to take your energy away from the physical things you are trying to change.
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.560
You also let go of linear space and time.
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:20.959
You stop thinking about where you're physically sitting, and you stop projecting your mind into a predictable future or a regretful past.
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:28.800
This puts you directly into the eternal present moment, what Dispenza calls the generous present moment.
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:34.000
Time ceases to exist because you are completely absorbed in the now.
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:34.560
Dr.
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.920
Joe calls this space the eye of the needle.
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:52.000
When you successfully strip away your body, ego, possessions, location, and timeline, you cease to be a localized physical identity and instead become pure consciousness or pure awareness.
00:07:52.240 --> 00:08:00.079
According to his teachings, this is the exact sweet spot, the quantum field where all possibilities exist.
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:11.600
When you operate from this invisible field of energy rather than from your physical senses, you are no longer trying to change matter with matter, which takes hard work and time.
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:18.800
Instead, you are tuning into a new frequency and collapsing a new reality into existence.
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:30.160
I know this is a lot to absorb, but when you combine these expert views, the eternal present points to the idea that there is no distant destination where your dream life is hiding.
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:42.080
For me, I wanted my own home in the country, a devoted husband, children, a garden and animals to care for, and abundance so I could feel free from the restrictions of society.
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:49.919
So instead of affirming for a better future where all these things existed, I needed to stop being someone who was waiting for it.
00:08:50.159 --> 00:09:05.360
I had to strip away my past and projections of my future and become the woman who creates a beautiful home, loves deeply, receives love freely, enjoys financial abundance, and fills every room with warmth and laughter.
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.360
Notice how now, this is what I identify as.
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.840
I am no longer waiting for time to carry me to these things.
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:21.440
From the standpoint of the eternal present, those realities are simply different structural states of consciousness.
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:33.519
By anchoring your mind completely in the feeling of having them right now, you align with the only space where reality actually operates, the boundless, unmoving now.
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.360
You aren't a beggar on the outside trying to claw your way in.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:46.559
You are the source experiencing itself, meaning you already have 100% of everything you could ever dream of right this second.
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:55.039
So stop treating manifestation like a to-do list or an action verb where you're trying to push things from non-existence into existence.
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:58.240
Because nothing needs to be created or acquired.
00:09:58.480 --> 00:09:59.840
It already is.
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.919
I know what some of you are thinking.
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:17.200
Kimberly, that sounds amazing in theory, but I'm literally sitting right here with no job, no devoted partner, barely enough money to survive, old age, poor health, or whatever you perceive your current circumstances to be.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:22.080
I know you're wondering how on earth you're supposed to live your dream life right now.
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:30.720
Well, listen up, because we're breaking down the exact mental shift you need to make today to step fully into your power.
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.639
First off, drop the story of waiting immediately.
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:39.200
Drop the need to fix or dwell on the things that need changing.
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:52.320
The second you say, I'm waiting for this to happen, or you obsess over needing to correct your past mistakes, you're actively reinforcing the illusion that you don't have the very thing you want to manifest.
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:57.440
Your current physical surroundings are just old background noise from past thoughts.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:00.720
So stop letting your environment dictate your truth.
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.480
Instead, you're going to shift from seeking to being.
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:09.039
So if you are suffering from a health condition, drop the old story.
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.559
In this current reality, you are healthy.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.639
You visualize yourself as being someone who is so healthy.
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:31.840
Anytime an old thought resurfaces like, but my doctor said I'm not healthy, you can observe that thought from the perspective of your higher self, but immediately let it pass and remind yourself, nope, that's an old story.
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:33.039
Old news.
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.960
I am now someone who is healthy in this present moment.
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:45.120
If you got into bad circumstances with your specific person months or even years ago, we can't dwell on those circumstances.
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:52.320
We must dismiss the old story and focus on being someone who is in a loving, committed, devoted relationship.
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:57.279
How would the version of you who already has their dream life feel right now?
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:12.480
Imagine waking up in that gorgeous, cozy farmhouse, walking into a kitchen you totally adore, feeling the deep, heavy relief of knowing your home is safe, warm, and overflowing with love and laughter.
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:27.600
Picture the sweet sound of children's laughter and the comforting presence of your animals, and feel the unshakable, rock-solid certainty of your loving, devoted farm husband building this incredible life right by your side.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:35.600
Your exact thoughts shift from, I want a home, to, I am so deeply grateful for my beautiful home.
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:44.799
Your exact feelings go from desperate lack to absolute peaceful completion, like dropping a heavy backpack at the end of a long hike.
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:54.639
You don't need to stress over the logistics or figure out the how, because the source handles the details while you simply occupy the state of the wish fulfilled.
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:56.960
Everything already exists.
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.200
There's no before or after, only the eternal present.
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:06.480
So stop chasing your dream life and start claiming it as your reality right now.
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:25.360
And if you haven't already, go check out my previous episode where we discuss reality transurfing, because it gives even more supporting evidence that living in the here and now and consciously choosing your own story and your own timeline is the only thing you need to do in order to manifest your dream life.
