Have you ever manifested your partner?

just That really. Interested to know other people’s experiences.

I tried Cosmic Ordering. I wrote out a lovely letter to the universe and did some beautiful illustrations around it, described exactly what I was looking for in a partner and left it at that in a drawer. When I met my XP he fitted the description to a tee, except for one point - he wasn’t musical, but that was an optional point anyway!

He was absolutely everything I wanted in a man. Unfortunately he turned out to have a bit of a temper, wasn’t always as kind as I would have liked and we split up several times, so I’m not sure the universe has my best interests at heart if it thinks this is what I need. We are still in contact and I feel a very magnetic attraction to him, I feel like I was destined to meet him, but I haven’t been truly happy for a long time which doesn’t feel like a good plan for the universe to have made for me.

Surely the universe was giving you a huge clue, by failing to provide the musical ability you'd ordered?

Apologies if the flippancy stings @RoyKentsChestHair as I can detect much warmth & humour between the lines so am imagining you are quietly taking the piss out of yourself?

But obvs if you are still reeling from recent break-up, & I have this wrong - I am sorry. Also - sod him. You didn't deserve an ill-tempered man, & I'm sure the universe, if it paid any attention to us insignificant specks on an insignificant rock under an insignificant sun in an insignificant galaxy, I'm sure would agree.

TL:DR don't let magical thinking cloud your instincts, or sell you a man who is bad for you, just because you believe in some version of 'fate'.

WhenAllIsLost · 19/06/2022 15:37

What do you mean by 'manifested' @Triplestacker23 ? I can't work it out, and you've replied but have not replied what you mean.

Tried it once, never again. 3 days it took to get rid of the ectoplasm on the walls.

😂😂😂
You little fool, @AclowncalledAlice!

In between manifesting Keanu Reeves & Idris Elba, I do a light, low-level manifesting of a small, fey, northern chap who loves house-cleaning.
Really - he'd have scoffed at your 3-day ectoplasm ordeal, & fixed it for you in hours.

Try it next time - it's a game-changer!

RoyKentsChestHair · 19/06/2022 15:44

Thank you @KettrickenSmiled - yeah I think I forgot about the universe bit when he kissed me and I went weak at the knees! More recently I ended up butt dialling him after not speaking for 6 months. This set off a chain of events where we slept together and again I thought it was fate or the universe or whatever pushing us back together. Then he pulled the rug and told me it wasn’t what he wanted. So fuck the universe basically!!

ConfusedByDesign · 19/06/2022 15:44

Gosh my friend spent her whole life manifesting a partner. She told the universe too. And she's still single even though she's an wonderful person (apart from the obsessive manifesting)
I don't think it's worked for her Sad

I went out with someone very briefly after a long build up who said that he had prayed for a girlfriend, and thought it was me, but now realised it wasn’t. So speaking as a manifestee, make sure you correctly identify your manifested partner when they arrive and don’t mistake them for someone else.

😂😂😂

See my Idris/Keanu posts, & weep, @StarTwins.
It can get VERY embarrassing when I accidentally mix up the call signals.

I hope you have stern words with your next wilful manifester. You are clearly an object worthy of desire, so it's gonna keep happening & you need to maybe run a check-list next time - but there's no excuse for amateurism in this game.
Manifestees should NOT have to endure this unprofessionalism.
Mea culpa!

KettrickenSmiled · 19/06/2022 15:49

Too many funny PP's here to respond to, but this thread is like old school mumsnet. Thanks for starting it, OP - whatever bonkers beliefs or scepticisms you actually hold.

But @FourTeaFallOut's Dr Strange fingers, & @Naan32's gametes, have just about taken the Biscuit.

Cheers all.

wished on a shooting star when I was pissed, he turned up not long after, still here 20+ years later

forgot to say, there were requirements in the wish (as to behaviour not looks) and they were met, so consider it manifesting

KettrickenSmiled · 19/06/2022 15:52

Channeling the incomparable Mrs Merton:
"So what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels, Debbie?"

Staryflight445 · 19/06/2022 15:54

You can’t manifest anything.
the secret is nonsense.

The universe is your friend, @RoyKentsChestHair. It grew you, just from a big bang, & spent 13 billion years on the job. You are exactly as the universe ordered. Homo Sapiens' error is in imagining the order is two-way.

So fuck Mr Oops-Butt-Dial, basically!
Sorry you got dragged back in. Been there, done that. However, the universe usually lets us live long enough to learn not to do it again 😎xx

Oblomov22 · 19/06/2022 15:59

Eh? Hmm

Spanielsarepainless · 19/06/2022 15:59

I have been the other way round. Someone I met at a conference ended up working with me. He told me he had been told by God that we should be together. I told him that God hadn't informed me.

KettrickenSmiled · 19/06/2022 16:01

And she's still single even though she's an wonderful person (apart from the obsessive manifesting) 😂

The universe is obviously trying SO HARD to get her to drop the Manifesting!
Soon as she does (ie stops obsessing & finds a cooler head), Mr Optimum will rock up. Betcha.

donquixotedelamancha · 19/06/2022 16:06

No, my DW is happy with three fingers.

Riapia · 19/06/2022 16:07

My ex can go and manifest in a sock for all I care.

Maireas · 19/06/2022 16:16

dreadlyn · 18/06/2022 21:13

I think I have. I prayed as a child for a tall, handsome, white man with black hair, musical and I met my now ex. He was all those things and has a degree in music
I think I just had a checklist and he ticked most of it

Why is he your ex?
Did the Cosmos cock up?

HazelBite · 19/06/2022 16:17

Do you think I could manifest some grandchildren??
I'm the only one of my friends who doesn't have any, can you manifest others to do what you want?
The mind fair boggles 🙄😉

Maireas · 19/06/2022 16:18

As instructed by the nuns, I did three Hail Marys and four Glory Bes, with the aim of attracting a Robert Redford with an interest in history.
I married a black scientist. Glory Be!

Maireas · 19/06/2022 16:21

Oh, I want grandchildren, @HazelBite .
Shall we manifest together? It may increase our chances. Nagging certainly doesn't.

Of course you can @HazelBite

Do you think quality totty like Idris Elba & Keanu Reeves seek out my remote hideaway from their own volition?

I mean, obviously they THINK they do. But I'm kind like that. Wouldn't want them feeling all reluctant & revolted. Also, I learned the basics of coercive control from a VERY young age, (sob!) but Special Plead exonerate myself because this is MAGIC, so doesn't count as controlling.

As a child of a lapsed catholic tortured by nuns at boarding school from the age of 5, I am chary of nuns, & catholicism. So can you educate me please, kind @Maireas - what is a Glory Be? Is it like a Morning Glory? is your lovely scientist - no no no - excise thiat last question!!!

Obvs the universe gave you what you NEEDED, not what you thought you WANTED. Because apparently that's a Thing with Laws of Attraction.
A bit like the religious types who tell you that belief is the basis of faith, so it's YOUR fault that God refuses to confirm his existence ... there's always a loophole, with belief-based ideology Hmm

Maireas · 19/06/2022 16:45

You are right, @KettrickenSmiled - my lovely scientist has been my partner for 36 years, so something went right.
Glory Be to the Father is a prayer.
It's a fairly short one, so recommended by the nuns after a few Hail Marys and Our Fathers. Possibly a Memorare.

KettrickenSmiled · 19/06/2022 16:54

Cheers @Maireas
I am wilfully ignorant on religion, but phwoar ... science!
Congrats on your scientist. Envy << (yeah, a tiny little envy)
