Manifesting – Does The Outcome Justify The Intention?

You probably know by now, from your personal experiences, that the metaphysical process of manifestation is not always cut-and-dried. Sometimes the results are disappointing, while at other times it truly is a matter of ‘careful what you wish for.’ One aspect of deliberate creating that I never before anticipated, was that it might bring up a personal moral dilemma! Let me explain.

When I was 11 years old, it was discovered that I needed glasses for better eyesight. Like any other normal child, I certainly was not happy about the situation. However, I was smart enough to recognize that it would make seeing the teacher’s writing on the school blackboard much easier, as well as enable me to recognize people and appreciate beautiful sights more readily.

So, I had no choice, but to put up with wearing those awful eyeglasses until I turned 16. It was at that time I started to work and earning my own money, which gave me the ability to make some important decisions for myself and determine what I could purchase on my own behalf.

A lot of people were beginning to wear tinted contact lenses at that time, so I decided I would also get on the bandwagon. Soon, I was exceptionally proud to transform my ordinary hazel eyes into an appealing vibrant green! However, the lenses on the market then were not as easy to wear as they are today. They were very inflexible and abrasive on the eyes and, even while being meticulous with its care, still very easy to tear.

I kept up with this struggle of constantly switching back and forth between lenses and eyeglasses, until many years later when I developed hypoglycemia. One of the side effects of this ailment is extremely dry eyes, and so my contact lens days were pretty much over. I simply gave up the idea and continued with regular eyeglasses for many years after.

A few years ago my sister mentioned that she had cataracts and as a result she would have to have surgery. The best part was she would never have to wear eyeglasses again. Well, I needed no further encouragement! I instantly decided that I now also wanted cataracts, so that I could have the excuse of getting free eye surgery on our healthcare and never have to wear glasses, ever again.

Later that year, I was contacted by my eye clinic to remind me it was time for my annual eye check-up. So, off I went with full expectations of being told the cataracts had indeed developed in the meantime, and my surgery would be in the works. But there were no cataracts to be found. So, home I returned to mull all of this over.

After a few more months, my old glasses became too scratched and fuzzy. So, the next move was to go to one of those eyeglass stores at the local mall, to see about getting new ones. They also did the necessary series of eye tests, and everything looked fine. The only decision left was to place the order for the new glasses. There was a lot of hemming and hawing on my part, but I finally decided that I would get lasik eye surgery instead. That way I am assured of not having to go back to glasses again.

The laser surgery team did their barrage of tests. The technician then comes into the room where I was waiting for the results, and the first question he asked me was how I was still able to see? This was so completely bewildering to me that he even had to repeat the question. He could clearly see that I was extremely baffled by all this. He then called in the chief doctor, who once again asks me how I am actually able to see. By this time I just feebly replied, “With my Third Eye.”

The doctor then informed me that my cataracts were so bad, that all I was still able to see through was a small round circle in the center my eye. She also felt the situation was so urgent that I needed cataract surgery immediately! Well, there it is. I had wanted free surgery, and all it took was setting the intention to manifest it, to bring it all about.

But now the question remains, was this particular intention to manifest appropriate? Was it spiritually, metaphysically, or even morally acceptable for me to wish for this outcome? What kind of karma did I possibly take on with making such a wish? Did the outcome justify the intention? I am unsure. One thing I am sure about is that I do not miss wearing those eyeglasses. I am deeply grateful, and give thanks to the Universal Power that brought about this liberation.
