Law of Attraction Myth Series:

Vision Boards

 

 

Vision boards have been advocated in law of attraction circles. However, there is extreme caution to be made here, as they actually decrease manifestation. Below are some understandings to help you:

 

1. Vision boards lead to fantasising and increases belief in lack

 

When you look at your vision board, you will see things which you like. This decreases manifestation considerably:

 

a) When you see what you want, your brain realises that you don't have it. When this happens, your brain focuses on those things which make you don't have it even more. The brain is simply an operating system which acts directly on the material given to it.

 

b) As added effects of a) above, your belief in your goal decreases without you knowing, your efficiency towards it decreases, and it leads to you trying to make quick fixes. This all takes you on the wrong manifestation path completely.

 

2. Vision boards leads to trying to make quick fixes

 

The effects of point 1. always take affect. As they do, you will try to make quick fixes and big strides, whereas true manifestation is all about efficiency of your time and body:

 

a) The greater the goal, the more the vision board will make your brain realise how far away from it you are. This makes you automatically and unknowingly attempt to make big strides. However, combined with point. 1, the strides are actually negative because your brain is bringing you to what you don't have. Therefore with vision boards, you automatically make big strides to move away from your goal without even realising.

 

b) Manifestation only comes about in small incremental steps. To make big strides is to do things in the wrong order, and end up with negative manifestations.

 

3. Vision boards violate the law of detachment

 

For your goal to manifest, you must become unaware of it by detaching in accordance with the law of detachment. However, by viewing your goal, you bring negative manifestation:

 

a) Vision boards make the law of detachment impossible. As soon as you view your vision board, whether consciously or in an unaware manner, you violate the law of detachment and decrease your manifestation. This is because you bring your vision into consciousness, whereas it is only the unconscious mind which performs the manifestation.

 

b) Bringing the goal into conscious awareness means that any actions which you make towards it are nullified of any manifestation power. You will basically end up in a try-hard situation, where the harder you try, the less the results you get.

 

4. Vision boards take you away from the immediate actions to the goal

 

When you view your vision, you are not viewing or considering the immediate steps to your goal. This creates negative manifestation:

 

a) You lose traction to the goal and decrease your efficiency towards it. When you view your goal, you are achieving absolutely nothing. You are simply viewing what you want, which is completely different from acting to get it.

 

b) You do not live in the moment. This means that your mind is not in the moment. When this happens, you cut off all mental manifestations (mainly intuition) because these all come about through living in the moment. This means you are basically wandering in the darkness with no correct plan, thought or idea to help you achieve the goal.

 

5. Vision boards invoke power and motivation externally, whereas true motivation power only lies within

 

Many use vision boards as a motivator, but this is completely detrimental for manifestation. Motivation can only come from within, where the true energy to motivate lies:

 

a) When you look at the vision board, you decrease your link to the energy source within you. All energy, motivation and drive comes from the unconscious mind. By thinking it is genuinely increasing from the vision board means we are decreasing the true energy link within.

 

b) Looking at the vision board to increase motivation, increases the disposition for your energy to only come about by looking at the vision board. However we know from points 1-4 that looking at the vision board decreases manifestation. Therefore, we not only only decrease manifestation, but we also lose our energy as it is now dependant on the vision board which we cannot view, due to creating negative manifestation.

 

What To Expect/Conclusion

 

Vision boards are one of the worst things you can do to help manifest your goal. It is better to be completely oblivious and focus on your natural resources instead. You must take the right steps and learn true manifestation if you are to differentiate what is the right way to manifest from what isn't. Only through this will there be a chance of achieving your goals successfully.
