Your Circumstances Are The Echo, Not The Voice
How a broken movie theater chair taught me to stop fixing the reflection and start changing the source.

Let’s get straight to the point.
Most of us use manifestation like a remote control, pointed at the universe, desperately clicking the button and wondering why nothing changes.
We think the power is in the clicking. In the effort.
But what if you’ve been focusing on the wrong thing entirely?
I had a moment of pure clarity about this recently, in a movie theater of all places.
My electric recliner was broken. No recline, no heat.
The old me would have spiraled into frustration (or pretended that I didn’t need recline or heat anyway). But I’ve learned that the “3D world” — the broken chair, the empty bank account — is just a mirror. It’s the last place to look for solutions.
The real work happens before the mirror changes.
Neville Goddard, in his book The Power of Awareness (affiliate link to book) called it the ultimate secret:
“An assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact.”
This means your most important job is to feel the wish fulfilled now, not later.
In that theater, I gave up trying to “fix” the chair in my mind. Instead, I focused on the feeling of my wish fulfilled: a perfectly relaxed, joyful afternoon with my wife.
I soaked in the feelings of peace and connection as if it were already true.
I let go of the how.
And then, my wife Sophia, from a place of pure, aligned intuition, turned to me and spoke seven words that shifted reality:
“Try it again. It is working now.”
I pressed the button. The chair came to life and moved into the desired recline.
The 3D reality had simply caught up.
The chair was never broken. My connection to my own power was.
This is the shift. Moving from trying to make something happen to allowing yourself to be the person it has already happened for.
Your circumstances don’t need your attention. Your state of being does.
When you make the shift inwardly, the mirror of life is bound to conform.
In alignment,
