Meditation and the art of manifestation have been absent from my life for a few years. I remember being “too tired” to sit down and do the practice – an excuse I repeated day after day somewhere during the pandemic, until abandoning the teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza for good. It’s not that I don’t believe them, I do. I just wasn’t practising it – maybe I had a moment of weakness in my faith.

But almost two weeks ago, I decided to stop postponing “my comeback” to a day in the future and watch in that very moment an episode (from a podcast?) where Dr. Joe talked about the topic with Lewis Howes – these two are amazing together. After the program, I saved guided meditations and healing frequencies, and for ten minutes, twice a day, I have been focusing my attention to not exactly create the future I want, but to pay attention to where my energy is going and to work on my nonexistent concentration – I have stayed away for too long, sitting down for a full thirty minutes to meditate is not happening anytime soon.

One part of me says it’s nonsense to believe you can have the life you want through the power of your mind, while another part reminds me it’s a matter of faith, not quantum-field-science – of course it would help if Dispenza stopped trying to use scientific experiments to prove that we can manipulate reality. People don’t need science to proof God is real to believe in Him, so why would I need prove that the life of my dreams is just one thought away?

All this attempt to prove only gives an opportunity to those who don’t believe in the “law of attraction” to make fun of us. When the mockery comes from an atheist, I can respect it, but when it comes from people of faith… How can a person who believes that God sent His son to die, and that that son died and resurrected after three days, how come this person does not believe in the impossible?

They call us crazy and lazy, but what about them? What are they? The guardians of the truth? Is their religion the only “right one”, and all the other religions are just the devil playing the fool of humanity?

Maybe Dr. Joe Dispenza is making money off people's faith, but so what? Does that turn the things he says into lies? How many marketing coaches spread the word that if you buy their courses and do exactly what they say, you will make a fortune on social media? The world is full of liars who want to make money off our misery. It's up to us to choose in which bastard we are going to invest our time and energy (and money, why not).
