Can you manifest for someone else? Ken distinguishes between intrinsic and extrinsic goals. While you cannot control another person, you can use unapologetic manifestation to create systems—like a daycare or a non-profit—that provide a foundation of abundance for your entire community.

Ken Daigle:
Absolutely.

Ellen Debenport:
Is it? I was always taught you can’t manifest for someone else.

Ken Daigle:
No, but you can manifest situations and systems. So there was recently a podcast I was watching with Oprah, and I can’t remember the name of the person who she was interviewing, but talks about external  manifestation and internal. So extrinsic and intrinsic. There’s the words I was looking for. right? Manifestation. So when we want to create something within ourselves that isn’t about necessarily an outside physical thing, but let me give it to you both ways. So I can want to manifest a daycare for underprivileged children. Certainly, isn’t that going to manifest? And if I’m successful in doing that, isn’t that going to help someone on the outside, some struggling single mother who needs daycare for her children so she can go to work? So my intrinsic goal is to be a better person, to be a generous and wealthy person that funds the lifting of other people. I have people in my community who have started not-for-profits that do those same things. We all have them in our lives. And without them, the world would be more limited. So you can manifest good for other people. You can’t tell them what they need or want. but you can create your life in a way that benefits other people. That’s my opinion.
