Reality Creation

[anagogy]

The fundamental spiritual task is to find peace, love and happiness in adverse circumstances.  By doing so, we are actually bringing peace, love and happiness into the illusion, and transforming samsara into nirvana.  

To bring this back to the manifestation topic: this is what manifesting your reality is all about from my perspective -- finding the peace in given circumstances.  Say for example: you are confronted by adverse life conditions where you are doing back breaking labor every day, confronted by constant verbal abuse, and are in poor health all the time.

From my perspective, the lesson in this circumstance is to purely line up with that which in resonance with who you are.  Clearly, that is not this circumstance in its current state.  So the catalyst of what is not wanted, has highlighted what is wanted.  You know what you don't want, so naturally you want the opposite of that.  So one begins to turn their attention away from the pain, from the hardships, and begins to focus more on even the slightest more positive aspects of their experience.  Maybe it is a sunny day.  Maybe they happened to accomplish a lot on that particular day.  Maybe they got a good night's rest.  And gradually, they slowly begin to ratchet their attention away from all the pain, from all the frustration, and negativity and more towards what is wanted.  Before they know it, circumstances begin to change in direct proportion to their vibrational state.  Better experiences are attracted, they start to feel better health wise, maybe they get a new job, maybe they win some money.  They meet new people, who treat them better.  And so on until they are so focused on what is wanted that they are living their dreams and accomplishing their goals.  

I feel like what you were saying before would be to imply that they should stay in those terrible circumstances because it is their "lesson".  To me that feels wrong.

My main point is: manifestation is the natural process of finding alignment with happiness.  It is not about spiritually bypassing accepting what is.  Rather, it is aligning our perception to one which can appreciate what is.  If the goal is to become one, we have to find that place where our unique mind/body/spirit fits best.  Afterall, we are not all the same -- in spirit yes, but in manifestation, no.  Thus in the universal mosaic we must find the place where we "fit".  The desires that make up you and the desires that make up me fit with the desires that make up others in various unique ways, and that is simply manifestation in a nutshell.  To create the circumstances where we fit with others the best.
