The manifestation session, I started to feel, wasn’t very different from prayer. And prayer, I think, can be a bit like translation. There’s a kind of cosmic geometry to it. It’s about getting the right words in the right order, and if those words are precise enough, they hit their equivalent in the other realm and the thing that is wished for comes into being. And like any art, prayer is a craft that needs polishing, understanding, practice, and skill.
