Manifestations

manifestation |ˌmanəfəˈstāSHən, -ˌfesˈtāSHən|
noun
an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something, esp. a theory or an abstract idea

I have recently become obsessed with the idea of manifestations. The pure embodiment of a feeling, thought, or event in one sole object. For example, many would say that violence is the manifestation of anger. You have this unquenchable rage inside your self and you channel it through physical or verbal violence. You’re taking one of the most primal human emotions, and moving it outside your body. You’re able to tell those around you how you feel with simple action. Someone who’s never met you before could see you throwing punches and tell ‘Oh, he’s angry!’

You’re manifesting your anger into violence.

You can manifest literally everything you feel. Fear, rage, depression, anxiety, happiness, apprehension, caring. The list doesn’t end! Whether it be through facial expressions or your actions, manifestations of the human mind are how we communicate.

There’s also the idea, widely explored in fiction, of manifesting thoughts into physical objects. But that is another blog post for another night.
