Couple questions

Have we always manifested our personal reality? Did we do it as infants and children, and therefore cause all misfortune as well as positive events to ourselves, no matter whether we're conscious of it or not?

Is there an actual objective reality? Do any laws, rules, etc. apply to us other than what we believe? If I don't have an established belief about something, like being cut hurts, would I be able to be hurt by a cut?

Clearly we're affected by things we're not conscious of. If someone slips me a roofie even though I'm not conscious of it, I still feel the effects of it, right?

This stuff gets pretty confusing

I'm pretty convinced at this point that perceived reality is a consensus between ourselves and whoever we co-inhabit the world with. Case in point, let's say you're the clown of your friend group, but you want to be more of a cool guy. You may try, but if you run into any significant obstacles you'll likely just accept your station as the clown.

If you want to be the cool guy, rather than the clown, you need to either leave the friend group, or you need to work on your willpower so that the obstacles you encounter don't bother you anymore. Someone wants you to do that funny-but-mildly-humiliating thing you do? Don't do it.

This is an over-simplified example, but I'm pretty sure it applies to just about anything you'd want to manifest. In my own personal life I was able to get a better handle on alcohol by spending less time with my more alcoholic friends and generally became less of a loser by, well, spending less time with people who embodied characteristics I didn't like about myself.

I have to urge caution with this approach, however. If you cut people out from your life they're generally gone for good. Better to gradually spend less time with them until you they're in a more 'proper' place. Meanwhile, work on finding relationships with people who lift you up. Do be careful though, otherwise your new friends will turn you into something that as equally bad as your old self.

Tempting as it is to become a loner, I think shaping your perceived reality is a lot easier when you have help. Besides, loneliness will make you go mad and distort your reality just as much as if you had bad friends.

that's not manifesting, that's literally just act in the world and see the result of your action
