is it selfish to manifest?

I was told by a 'guru' that my guides gave me a gift to make manifesting natrual, easy, and effective for me. I've seen the evidence myself through doing it, but sometimes i feel a little selfish or blasphemous doing it. even though I never do it only for myself and I always thank God when I get the results. has anyone ever felt like this? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I wouldn't think it'd be wrong no matter what you manifested because no matter what you bring into being it's you who gets the consequences of that so maybe thats of more import.

I also find it pretty straight forward to get what I want and it's been a pretty rough road at times realising I didn't really need much of it at all or when I get it it's not really what I wanted in the first place.

So no it's not right or wrong or selfish or any of those things, it can't be because it's only stuff, but learning from it and realising the results of actions and how widespread they can be... maybe that bears consideration before bringing stuff through or switching it around as the case may be.

As I see it, you won't be able to talk yourself out of your beliefs that doing this for yourself is selfish, there are ways to get free.

If it were me, I would ask my guides, or God, or the universe to show me how to understand this better, because you don't want to get caught in guilt and conflict. Those negative beliefs and feelings are much more harmful to your progress than a little manifestation, eh?

Is it selfish to manifest?
No.
Would it be wrong to be selfish?
No.
Understanding what is the true self would be in order, imo.

Desire, fulfillment seems to be the order of the entire Universe....

When you feel like this, what are you manifesting?

Haha! Great question!!

Feeling selfish about manifesting for self may be rooted in the rhetoric that only service to others is appropriate. Organized religion used this & the notion that asceticism was necessary for one’s spiritual journey to get many 1000s of virtually unpaid workers for millennia who expected low wages & crummy conditions.

While service to others is admirable, we can’t be of much use to others until we deal w/ our own issues & needs ❈❈❈ FIRST ❈❈❈.

It’s OK to manifest for one’s self. This is part of our stepping into being creator energies.

BTW, those who self identify as a guru these days are hanging on to some really old Piscean energy.

We all have the gift and are entitled to use it, in fact we all use it without being aware of it, our thoughts make our reality every single day.

My only problem with it is feeling foolish saying I have something now, when I actually don't.

So is it something you are asking for that makes you feel guilty in a sense?

Well, consider manifesting to help others as well, that way you're giving back as the universe is helping you!
