Self-Revealization Acceptance®

Manipulative grace should not be confused with negative sentiment though there may appear to be similarities. The difference would be equivalent to flattery as opposed to adulation. Most of you have probably “heard it all,” “seen it all,” and are hardened to the meanings of the words and actions of others. Even if we prefer to believe and accept certain things, there is always a bit of hesitation even if something seems to make sense.

We live the major part of our lives under the constant pressure of things we create for ourselves based on misconceptions. Until clarity of purpose becomes a determining factor, others will be permitted to create “things” which control significant parts of our lives. This manifests in our creation of imaginary situations that in fact have nothing to do with reality until we make them so and have either been beaten or rewarded by our acceptance. As a result, we come to the point where we no longer accept anything expressed by others as genuine. We then sub-consciously assume most things to be false and live in a state of constant mistrust. If someone says something nice to us, we immediately question the sincerity behind it, wondering if it is real or manipulative grace: the form of compliment that says one thing, and though possibly sincere, the intent of its usage is to develop control over you by the person wielding it. It occurs when you are doing something and someone recognizes the possibility that it might be good for them. They will tell you how to continue your work by disregarding your needs and considering only their own.

It is not the same as flattery that is considered by many to be an act of obvious aggression. Flattery by imitation is the sincerest form of disrespect and deception. It is an attempt to cheat the original of its uniqueness by imitating it through cheap effort. Flattery is usually very obvious to the receiver. People flatter when they desire to imitate and ingratiate themselves into your life.

Manipulative grace is being congratulated by sincere and well-meaning people who seek your sympathy and, more probably, your empathy while trying to get you to concur with their wishes based on their own negative sentiment. People can and will manipulate you, unless you put a stop to it. You must provide yourself with a buffer to reject anything inappropriate towards your well being. The worst part is that it interferes with your divine right to live in joy and freedom.

As an example, if I am doing something that you think can be beneficial to you, and you keep telling me how wonderful I am while expecting to glean some of the rewards, it is manipulative grace. Many people are immediately taken in by this action because it satisfies their need for acceptance by others. You may even be trying to get me to do something for you without realizing you are doing it. If this is permitted to continue, you will gain control over me, especially if I have little or no self-esteem.

On the other hand, if someone studies something from a master, and taking that information proceeds to develop the “art” to the next level of evolution, it is correct action. It is the proper respect towards the Spirit of the Thing Itself and the master by the student. True masters understand the need for the art to be developed, which can only be done through students who must acknowledge and pay homage to the master. Developing the art is called progress and is a viable thing. However, if the master succumbs to flattery, then the master, the student, and the art are being deprived of evolution and growth, and he or she may not be aware of the consequences. The Spirit of the Thing Itself does not care and will only give what is asked of It. The results will become evident in other areas of each one’s life as well.

Identify the times you have been manipulated with grace. Can you see where you were guilty of doing the same thing to others? Carefully visualize the scenarios. Was it your ego talking or your higher self?

Deconstruct manipulative grace by carefully guarding your thoughts and limitations until you are rid of them through this self-revealization acceptance.

There is One Intelligence, the Creative Power of the Universe, and I am an individualization of It in wholeness and completeness. Knowing, accepting, and believing this to be true, I now make myself free from the designs of others in their attempts to dissuade me from any expression of my own perfection. I no longer permit anyone to influence me through the guise of well-being called manipulative grace. I accept full responsibility for my divine right to live in joy and freedom and develop my life while enjoying all the experiences I desire without the approval of others. By understanding the difference between flattery and manipulative grace, I disavow anyone’s presumed authority that would seek to create false impressions in my mind. I accept my work as an expression of the Spirit of the Thing Itself, knowing that I am without peer in my destination. I do not harbor any ill feelings to those who have consciously or without awareness imposed their thoughts and feelings into my life for whatever reasons they may have had. As well, I do not hold myself in guilt or anger for having permitted those actions to have occurred, though I may have accepted them by my own choice. I do not live my life for anyone else, and I do not concern myself with the conditions that others would seek to impose upon me. By the authority of my word expressed in this self-revealization acceptance, I declare myself free of manipulative grace from this time forward. When others ask for my help, I will give it, but I will not permit myself to become embroiled in the everyday confusion that others accept for themselves. Nothing stops this new way of thinking in my life. I ascend to my next level of consciousness without interruption from others unless I decide they can benefit me. I will decide if they are sincere and will share my good bounty with them only if I want to. I accept these words into my inner being and place them in my heart. They are activated by my desire and personal reality. Protecting myself from the atrocities of manipulative grace by working with self-revealization acceptanceas necessary, this word is released to the Creative Power of the Universe with complete and total awareness of thankfulness.
