Quantum Goals 4: The Vortex & The Flow – Manifesting Resources and Opportunities
The Vortex & The Flow - Manifesting Resources and Opportunities
By Jason Shelfer: Host of The Living Lucky® Podcast
We've explored the quiet journey of a thirty-year dream (Post 1) and the explosive, thirteen-month quantum shift (Post 2). We then dissected The Becoming—the deliberate investment in the person you must be to achieve an extraordinary goal (Post 3).
Today, we address the phenomenon that looks like luck, feels like destiny, and is, in reality, the inevitable consequence of total commitment: The Vortex and The Flow.
Activating the Success Vortex
We call this The Vortex—the personal energy field you generate when your commitment level reaches 100%. Once you make an Audacious Declaration and commit to The Becoming (our five-stage journey from “WHO YOU ARE” to “WHO YOU WILL BE” Identity), the Universe, or Life, seems to conspire in your favor.
This isn't mysticism; it’s a powerful application of human psychology and strategic focus:
1. The Reticular Activating System (RAS)
The RAS is a bundle of nerves in your brainstem that acts as a filter, allowing only the information relevant to your current focus to reach your conscious mind.
When Jana set the non-negotiable goal of being a World Champion, her RAS immediately recalibrated. Suddenly, she saw every high-performance ski boat, she heard every mention of elite adaptive training, and she noticed every potential contact. The coaches, the training resources, the ability to find and secure the best equipment—all of this "luck" was the result of a mind that was now aggressively filtering for mission-critical input. The resources were always available; they were simply invisible until the commitment was total.
2. The Magnetism of Massive Action:
Commitment is energy. When we prioritized time and hired world-class experts, we were sending an undeniable signal: We are serious, and we are playing at the highest level.
The Coaches: They weren't just taking a job; they were drawn to the intensity of the commitment. They invested their time and energy because they saw a champion's work ethic immediately.
The Community: When you fight toward your ability, the community of high-performers embraces you. Training with World Champions wasn't an inconvenience for them; it was a mutual elevation of standards.
By acting like the champion she was becoming, Jana pulled championship-level resources and people into her orbit. This is the Flow state of resource manifestation.
3. Synchronicity and the Hall of Fame:
The true affirmation of being in the Vortex is synchronicity—meaningful coincidences that confirm you are on the right path.
Think back to the timeline:
June 2025: Jana breaks the World Record in MP2 Trick. This is the proof of concept generated by her effort.
July 2025: The following month, Jana and her 2004 Paralympic Basketball team are inducted into the Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame.
This external validation, 21 years after retirement, was a powerful, beautiful nudge from the universe. It confirmed: You are a person of this caliber. This level of achievement is not new to you; it is your baseline. The past success was essentially blessing the current mission.
This isn't required for success, but it's a signature of Living Lucky®: when your internal commitment is strong, the external world aligns to support it.
4. The Final Piece: The Achievement in Australia
We finally landed in Australia, completing the thirty-year journey to the Great Barrier Reef (our subtle goal) and the thirteen-month journey to the Adaptive World Championships (our quantum goal). Both missions manifested in the same geography, at the same time.
The World Championships were the ultimate test of The Becoming. The training was done, the identity was forged, and the Vortex had provided the resources. The only thing left was the execution.
You've read the results: Jana is the World Champion. She went from last place at a regional event to World Champion in 13 months.
The lesson here is simple and profound: You do not attract what you want; you attract what you are. Once Jana was fully The Champion, the title was simply the inevitable physical manifestation of her Achieving Identity.
In our final post, we will synthesize these two incredible timelines—30 years vs. 1 year—to pull out the unified, timeless principles of goal achievement and provide a clear framework for how you, the reader, can start Living Lucky® today.
Until then, consider:
What are you actively filtering for in your environment (what does your RAS see) regarding your most important goal?
How can you increase the energy of your commitment to attract the resources you need?
What is the last piece of "synchronicity" you missed because you weren't fully committed to the path?
