As part of my Ask Angel series, this is part one of two parts Part two will follow. In this Ask Angel, I explore how manifestation and Christianity can coexist.
I recently had the most awesome email exchange with Rachel, who shared that she recently found TSM through the limiting beliefs quiz and had been digging through all my resources. She asked me my thoughts on Christianity and Manifestation. Rachel brought me some wonderful, thought-provoking questions and gave me permission to share them with you. I can’t wait to share her thoughts and questions, as well as my answers. I’m sure there are others out there with the same questions. Rachel gave me permission to use her name.
Thanks again, Rachel, for being so vulnerable and allowing me to share these questions with the rest of the community!
Here’s Rachel’s question:
Questions and answers were edited for length.
I’m a Christian, very much believe in my God and have a personal relationship with Him, though I’m more spiritual than religious, and I’m trying to decipher how Manifestation fits in. How I’ve been doing this the last week of reading your writing is reframing the idea to being what I pray for and claim and believe He is answering now or in the future….and having faith that “Even if” it doesn’t happen, it’s because it wasn’t right for me, and better is coming. But while I was just reading your article on Self-Doubt, nodding along because I relate so much, and again reframing the wording every time I saw the word ‘manifestation,’ I decided to come to you for advice. As someone who believes in Manifestation and IFS, what are your thoughts on how and if Christianity fits into the practice?
My Response:
Above all, I do think Christianity fits into this practice, and I’ll explain why. IFS is actually a very spiritual practice with the idea of our True Self. And I do use more spiritual terminology. However, when we align with our True Self this allows us to align with something out there that is greater than us, I say the Universe, but it also means God.
The Universe and God are, in my opinion, synonymous. One in the same. Prayer is a form of meditation, and both are excellent ways to access our True Self and gain that connection to God, or the Universe. It’s just about what terminology resonates with you.
Manifestation & Christianity Can Coexist
I agree with you that this isn’t like seeking answers from oracles or divination. It’s connecting with our higher selves to seek answers through that connection with God. I believe we were put on this Earth with that connection in place. It allows us the opportunity to listen, be guided, get insight and awareness. However, so many things happen in our lives, parts of ourselves take over, disrupting that connection.
You mentioned that you read some of my articles, so I’m sure you’ve read how I say that our parts have positive intentions, and they do. They are not bad. They’re just trying to do their best to help us and keep us safe. But by doing so, they unknowingly keep us out of alignment with our True Self. This is why I talk so much about how to decipher between our True Self and our parts, build a trusting relationship with the parts, to remove self-doubt, and allow True Self to be in the lead, that way we can be connected and guided through our journey!
Which Leads Me To Manifestation…
Rachel wrote: (regarding manifestation) How I’m currently understanding it, it is stating your desires and walking as if those desires will come… I do think the answers we seek require both our own motives, intentions, and actions AND the hand of God. Can this practice, in your opinion, combine both beliefs like this?
I will be answering this question next week!! You don’t want to miss it!
