🧚♀️ TREE 356: The system is the system
The boring ol’ materialist’s guide to manifesting, part 3 of 10
One.
In part two, you took stock of where you are compared to where you want to be. Now it’s time to have a look at your surroundings. This is the landscape where you will be doing the work of manifesting.
Ready?
The universe doesn’t care about you.1
Wanting something does not mean you are entitled to it.
You are not perfect the way your are.
If you are poor, the system is rigged against you.
If you are also a woman or a minority, it’s extra rigged against you.
You need help from people and people need help from you.
There’s nothing you can say or hope or pray that will change anything on that list. The system is the system.
Hold up, you may be saying, I thought TREE was supposed to cheer me up. This is entirely depressing.
You could see it that way. Or you could see it as liberating. If the universe doesn’t care about you, you don’t have try and keep it on your side. If you’re not entitled to stuff, you don’t have to feel bad when life doesn’t hand it to you.
Accepting that the system is the system grounds you in reality. This is essential for materialist manifestation. And it relieves the pressure trying to turn it into something else.2

Two.
Dance like you were drawn by John Burningham on a bad day.
Three.
Two (2!!!) key changes. It’s good fun and it fits today’s post.
Tomorrow is the end of getting started. Next week, we’ll take some action.
Grow slowly

If you believe the universe does care about you and you find that helpful, go for it. This is a guide for materialists who don’t believe that. It doesn’t do them any good to pretend they do.
Maybe the thing you want to manifest is a change to the system. You may be able to do it, if it’s a human-created system, but you still start with accepting that it is what it is right now.
And now a swift kick to the booty! Loved it!
My understanding of the systems I had used for many years were brought to my attention 2 years ago. I bought an rv outright. Nothing owed to a lender is very freeing. I haven’t monthly service bills for electric or water or sewer anymore. I change locations according to my needs so I choose my neighborhood. It was a lightbulb moment and I chose the best way for me to live well now. The question I have adopted that helps me assess my needs is “does this serve me?”
