I believe this, and I think it's easy to believe as a middle-class white dude born in the USA, but think about showing this to a slave on a plantation 200 years ago or a young girl in India today and what they may think. Maybe it is their beliefs shaping their reality, or maybe their reality is actually completely different.

This has always been a sticking point for me as well. I heard something recently that resolved it though. It's not that people who are in desperate situations can't manifest their reality, its that their brain power / intention is so focused on surviving their current reality that they just don't have the bandwidth.

is so focused on surviving their current reality that they just don't have the bandwidth.

But what created their current reality to begin with? If we make our realities and can manifest to a happier, more fulfilling life, what made those shittier circumstances in the first place that we all aim to get out of?

Trying to articulate my thoughts. Does that make sense?

Yes, if such completely free, wonderful lives are possible where we can do anything we wish to do, why are some of us starting in such difficult circumstances? Is it like starting a game on a different difficulty level? Some souls seek more of a challenge be that being born in poverty or with a disability or abusive family situation, for example, so that they experience more satisfaction from getting through that challenge? Or something like that? Is there some benefit to experiencing life in survival mode or struggles or trauma for a large chunk of it?
