Manifest a New Job: How I Got Hired at Google in 90 Days

Manifest a new job sounds simple until you try it. If you believe you can fly, then you can fly. That, in a nutshell, is the premise behind what many now refer to as the Law of Attraction. Yet I haven’t seen very many people flying outside my window lately.

So if the world around us, our perceived reality, is really just a manifestation of our thoughts, then why are we all not levitating objects and defying the laws of physics?

The Law of Attraction on the surface is a simple concept: thoughts are things, what you think about you get. But the mind does not like simple things. The mind loves complexity because then it feels useful and in control.

How the Law of Attraction Works

Think of the Law of Attraction as a computer game. The world around you is the simulation. Your thoughts are the program commands. Your consciousness is the programmer.

The biggest catch is that the simulation takes into consideration all of your thoughts, not just the ones you purposely intend for it to recognize. By merely observing something, you are sending off a thought, and the Law of Attraction calibrates and sends you more of your dominant collection of thoughts or beliefs.

Your thoughts are hierarchical. Your strongest beliefs will always trump intentions that don’t hold as much weight for you.

My Story: From Rock Bottom to Google

For about seven years, I was aware of the Law of Attraction. But even though I was aware of it, I didn’t really understand it. I would follow various exercises: writing lists of all the things I wanted, cutting out pictures in magazines and putting them in a manifestation box, taping fabricated checks made out to myself for obscene amounts of money to my mirror.

All of these things in an effort to attract them into my life. Yet for the most part, they never came.

Then I hit bottom. When the bottom was so close I could taste it in my mouth (literally), I decided it was as good a time as any to turn things around.

Feeling Good Is the Foundation

The first thing I realized was that in order for this so-called universal law to work, you had to feel good. So much of my early work in those days was spent reaching for a better feeling place.

I wasn’t trying to go from depression to elation in one fell swoop. I was climbing the emotional ladder.

Anger felt better than depression. Worry felt better than total hopelessness. Frustration felt better than disappointment. Boredom felt better than being overwhelmed.

Eventually, I got to the point of hope. Positive expectation. From there, things started to happen quickly.

I did this for 30 days straight and started to get to a point of inspiration. That’s how the Law of Attraction works: it is always a match to your dominant intent.

In less than 90 days, I went from being a hopelessly depressed freelance writer to knocking several addictions, finding an amazing relationship, and landing my dream job at Google, even though I never went to college and people said it would be impossible.

Subjective Reality: The Dream Within the Dream

It can be easier to understand the Law of Attraction if we alter the way we perceive our reality.

Subjective reality proposes that we are not our human self, but rather a higher-consciousness version of ourselves temporarily focused into our human body. Everything in our reality is just a projection of that higher consciousness channeled through the lens of our human perception.

Put in simpler terms: reality is like a dream within a dream. Your higher consciousness (the true You) is the dreamer. Your human body is the avatar you control in the dream. Everything in this dream is a manifestation of what we are thinking.

Living on Default Versus Creating Intentionally

Whether you are actively participating in the Law of Attraction or not, it’s taking place. Just as you don’t have to think about gravity in order to not fall up, the Law of Attraction is always present.

By setting forth deliberate intention throughout your day and feeling into potentials, you are creating your own reality. Otherwise, you are creating by default and fall victim to the whims of mass consciousness.

When you are creating on default, you are an observer and nothing more. You have zero control over your reality.

But when you take control of your thoughts and remove limiting beliefs, you are able to affect the simulation in a way that serves you.

Decide to see the best in people. In the world. More of that will show up in your reality.

This is how you become the creator of your own reality.
