How to Manifest Your Deep Desires With a Simple Shift in Perception
by Kris
Is the Reality You Perceive Really True, or Is It Just a Construct of the Mind?
As a graduate student in Japan studying Cultural Anthropology, I wondered how language affects our worldview. I was particularly aware of the differences in how English speakers and Japanese speakers perceive reality.
If you point to the blue sky and ask a Japanese speaker what color it is, they will say ‘Aoi.’ If you then point to a green grassy field and ask them the color, they will also say ‘Aoi,’ the identical word.
How Could This Be?
Do the Japanese see green and blue as the same color? If you look at a color spectrum, the frequencies of blue and green are next to each other. English speakers divide those frequencies into two general groups of colors, blue and green. Traditionally, Japanese speakers see it as one color, ‘Aoi.’ They have no word for blue. Due to mass media such as television, modern-day Japanese have adopted the English word 'blue’ into their language. However, before mass media, the Japanese had no word for ‘blue’ and perceived blue and green as the same.
Reality Is in the Eye of the Perceiver
In terms of color, the Japanese see reality differently than a native English speaker. Personally, I am color blind. I do not see the difference between dark green and red. I see reality differently than a person who is not color blind.
A Telephone Pole Is the Same as a Tree, Until You Learn It Is Different
When my daughter was learning to speak, we would play a game where she would point to things and she would say what it was. One day while I was driving, she pointed to a tree and said ‘tree.’ She then pointed to a telephone pole and said ‘tree.’ I realized in her reality there was no distinction between trees and telephone poles. I explained to her that that was not a tree, it was a telephone pole. She soon was able to make the distinction between a tree and a telephone pole. From that moment forward, her reality changed. She no longer saw a telephone pole as a tree again.
Reality Is Only What You Have Learned It to Be
Most of what we perceive as reality is not true. Reality is what we have learned it to be.
We do not perceive reality directly. There are an infinite number of frequencies of light on a light spectrum between blue and green. But, we do not perceive an infinite number of colors. We only perceive what we have learned.
The ancient Toltec seers of Mesoamerica knew this. They define reality as an infinite number of threads of knowledge. Humans take only an infinitely small number of these threads and assemble them together to form their reality. A part of the Toltec seer’s path is to expand their reality by assembling more of these threads in order to expand their perception.
What Does This Have to Do With Manifesting?
Your mind creates your reality from what you believe. You believe what you perceive. If you change your perception, you change your beliefs. When you change your beliefs, your mind creates a different reality.
The first step is to not believe everything you see. Allow the possibility that what you are perceiving is not actually what it is. Remember that how you perceive reality is mostly learned. Knowing this, you can change your perception.
A simple example of this is the art of reframing what you perceive. Always reframe what you see as a negative, as a positive.
Experience Follows Perception
You may not like what you are experiencing, but you have the ability to shift that experience into something positive by reframing and changing your perception of it.
No matter what life brings you, you can always find something positive about it. One way to do this is to ask yourself what the experience is teaching you. Then shift your perception of the experience. For example, you could be grateful for what life is bringing you because you now know what you need to do to have life bring you better experiences.
By finding the positive in the experience, you shift your perception to something positive. Positive perceptions lead to positive experiences.
You have the power to shift your perception. When you perceive life as always helping you, providing what you need, and fulfilling your desires, it becomes your experience.
Practice this every day. Start with small things, if you like. Consciously choose to perceive everything life brings you differently. Perceive life as the gift it is meant to be and enjoy the amazing experiences it gives you. As you consciously change your perception, you become the Powerful Creator you are meant to be.
You Can -Easily- Experience Your Limiting Beliefs; Flip It! Create Experiences To Believe Your Dreams!

Perception Determines Experience, Why Not Make Your Perception Preferable?
This summer has been one of the best for my daughter. It’s been an ordinary summer, but I created an extraordinary experience for her. We’ve raised her to be as connected to herself as possible, but she’s a teenager. Some of her experiences have stunted her from expressing herself and even caused her to pull back from life.
As any parent would, I have always wanted to set my daughter up to have a great life. For me, this means I want her to taste what self-responsibility is — empowerment — and I want her to see the strength and benefits of being “the master of my sea.”
“Don’t you tell me what you think that I can be,
I’m the one at the sail, the master of my sea — ”Imagine Dragons, Believer
I want her to know herself and then choose her life. This, if you ask me, is a recipe for an excellent life experience: knowing who she is, what she wants, and feeling that she can go after it.
Isn’t that what we all want?
This spring/summer we had parrot babies. Seeing me busy taking care of the babies and being cell phone savvy, my daughter posted ads for them. This was a relief because my usual broker and buyers weren’t buying as heavily, the market is down.
One advantage of doing everything on a phone these days is that my daughter felt more comfortable answering text messages: it’s easy. She navigated questions, deposits, and sales beautifully. Sure, I answered any questions and helped with things, but she was the ‘salesperson.’
Using Her Interests/Strengths
I was pleasantly surprised that she was confident enough to handle sales. Then again, she also loves parrots and has a natural sense about them. It made it easier for her to have a good experience talking to people, she knew what she was talking about. Life provides grace when you are young, and she easily sold some of our babies.
By the time she was getting ready to go back to school, she told me that she earned the same amount of money as her friend who went into an office to work over the summer. I was thrilled!
Celebrating & Focusing On Success
I pointed out that being an entrepreneur, we have to tend to the birds every day but we also can work around other things. We also spent the summer with her grandparents. She’s fortunate to still have one set of grandparents, people that nourish and appreciate her. We lunched with them daily, they went to Universal and we visited tea houses and the Flagler Museum. We worked and played hard!
Last week, she texted me from school, that someone wanted to come to see babies today!
Ok.
We arranged it and sold two babies!
I pointed out that she was even making money while going to school! A couple hundred, not bad for a sixteen-year-old in high school! We work every day, don’t earn money most days, but when we do… it’s sweet!
Focus On The Only Thing You Can Change: You
My daughter has experienced success, has grown her confidence, and feels better about herself. Going back to school was a different experience than it usually is. She usually drags her feet, knows why she’s going, but isn’t thrilled. This year still isn’t thrilling, but she feels better — and this has made her experience better.
Her life has changed significantly, although everything is the same. (The only difference is she has more money now…)
Create Your Experience
How can you create a different perception to have a better experience?
Our recipe for a shift included:
1. Find What You Have an Affinity For: Many years ago, she wanted a parakeet (Budgie regar) and then I did too! We got more birds and followed our passion. She is my parrot whisperer, I can ask her about any one of our 20+ species and she’ll tell me how they are doing or what’s wrong.
I used her affinity.
2. Sailing Expectations: We had problems with some babies, one died, and we had a few canceled sales. It wasn’t all smooth sailing. Fortunately, my daughter already knows this is the way it goes. It’s nature. I don’t second guess loss, so she doesn’t either. We may feel remorse at our loss, illness, or death, but she’s learned that sometimes things don’t work.
This means there were no opportunities to lose her confidence. We are doing what we love: the wind is in our sails, and we are focused on where we are going. Not the choppy seas.
3. Celebrate: We only celebrated the joyful things- happy babies, healthy babies, and they're going to great homes. Oh, and the money!
Of course, my daughter got “Good jobs!” and other encouraging feedback from me. I focused on everything she did right, corrected what was wrong (they need more food!), and appreciated the wonderful people and good homes the birds got (and are still getting).
Change your perception.
Find what’s already working for you and grow it. In other words, if you are already good at earning money — just not keeping it — work with that. If you want to experience more money, pay yourself first. This means that you start to save for you. You take whatever reasonable amount of money you can, even $10 or $50, per pay period, and you save it. You intend to grow some money for yourself.
Sure, it’s a small amount, but it’s a significant energy. Once you’ve done this several times, the energy starts to snowball. If the amount is reasonable, you won’t feel like you are sacrificing or going without. At the same time, you will grow the energy of you being more abundant. When you do, you will notice a shift in your money and in how you perceive yourself.
Make sure that you aren’t holding unrealistic expectations, but rather real ones. Expect that you are doing something to change your perception. If you take the action to save, you will shift things/your experience.
Expect that you may encounter choppy seas. Ignore them. Intend to save. It works or doesn’t, like if a bill comes up and you must use your “me” savings. Don’t be disappointed because life can affect money but not your energy. If you keep putting your money into your “paying myself first” account, then you are growing the energy. That’s all that counts because energy trumps form.
It’s The Little Things
Unfortunately, we have often been taught to only measure the dollars or our success. However, success is relative because, in my world, it is pointless if you can’t sustain it. And, it is fleeting when the energy isn’t there to uphold it.
So, you can do things and walk into money, like winning the lottery.
But we all know that lotto winners end up further in debt and unhappy.
Instead, choose your perception and work the energy. Pay yourself first, not only in money but in energy. That’s the only true bank you can count on, just ask my daughter!
