The Mass Consciousness Trap: Why Manifestation Fails & How to Break Free

The Mass Consciousness Trap: Why Manifestation Fails & How to Break Free

Hi there, my name is David Cameron Gikandi, and I thank you for your most valuable asset—your time. I promise not to waste it. What I’m about to share with you will change the way you create your reality forever.

The Wake-Up Call: When Manifestation Stops Working

You see, I wasn’t always standing here, speaking to you with confidence about abundance, success, and manifesting. In fact, not too long ago, my world had completely crashed. And the irony? I had been a creative consultant for The Secret, a film about the Law of Attraction, and I had written an international best-seller, A Happy Pocket Full of Money, helping thousands manifest wealth and success.

And yet, I was failing miserably at manifesting even the simplest things for myself. What used to work for me suddenly stopped working. My businesses started crumbling, debt was piling up, eviction notices were stacking, and my mind was filled with self-doubt, shame, and fear.

I tried everything. EVERYTHING!

- Prayer

- Meditation

- Hypnosis

- Therapy

- Affirmations

- Journaling

- Visualization

- Goal Setting

- Vision Boards

- Subliminal Tapes

- Coaching

- EFT, NLP, HTTP, OMG, WTF…

Yet, nothing seemed to work fully and properly. I was drowning in my misery, asking myself:

- Why is this happening?

- Why can I teach others to manifest success, yet I can’t seem to do it for myself?

- Why has the law of attraction stopped working for me?

- Why aren’t my actions bringing results like they used to?

And that’s when I came face-to-face with the real enemy.

The Hidden Enemy: Mass Consciousness

It wasn’t bad luck. It wasn’t that I wasn’t ‘visualizing hard enough.’ It wasn’t that I didn’t want it bad enough.

The enemy was something far deeper—a force that has trapped so many of us in cycles of struggle.

That force is Mass Consciousness—the conditioning, programming, and domestication we’ve all been subjected to from the moment we were born.

It is an invisible system that teaches us to live from our Small Self—our fragmented, fearful, conditioned self—rather than our True Self, the boundless, powerful, divine creators we were born to be.

My problem was that I was trapped in the Small Self identity. I believed that the socialized, domesticated, conditioned, traumatized, little egoic self-concept was really me. And that was my error. That was how I was getting in my own way and driving myself to rock bottom.

But I was lucky. Because that rock-bottom moment forced me to wake up.

And what I discovered in that dark yet rewarding time is what I’m here to share with you today.

The 3 Big Lessons of Manifestation

Lesson One: The Mass Consciousness Trap – The Enemy’s Programming

We are all born into an ongoing story—a cultural narrative that says, “This is who you are, and this is how the world works.” And so, our minds become insidiously enslaved, generation after generation.

This is Mass Consciousness—or what I call the Enemy’s Programming.

How the Enemy’s Programming Traps You

- We Manifest From Fear Instead of Faith: We desire abundance but fear losing it. We want success but fear judgment.

- We Attach Our Self-Worth to Struggle: We are conditioned to believe success must be hard.

- We Distrust Our Own Power: Society conditions us to conform, making us feel guilty when we step into our greatness.

- We Seek Control Instead of Flow: Manifestation isn’t a vending machine—you must trust, not force.

- We Are More Loyal to Our Past Than to Our Potential: We sabotage our future to protect the past version of ourselves.

- We Confuse Familiarity with Truth: Just because something is normal doesn’t mean it’s true.

- We Let Our Identity Be Shaped by Upbringing, Even When It Hurts Us: Many of our beliefs about success, money, intelligence, and self-worth were inherited, not chosen.

And here’s the kicker: Your sense of self-concept may not even be yours! It was programmed into you.

Now, we need to understand that society indoctrinates us with three core lies that enslave us:

1. The Self-View Lie: You are just a biological skin bag, with little or no spiritual impact here.

2. The World-View Lie: Reality is solid, separate, disconnected, and purely mechanical.

3. The Fear Lie: If you think differently, the world will ridicule and persecute you, so you must toe the line.

These three lies create the Mental Matrix that enslaves people.

Imagine trying to drive a car with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. The harder you push, the more resistance you create. That’s what happens when your conscious desires conflict with your subconscious programming. You must release the brakes to move forward.

Lesson Two: Manifesting Is an Inside Job – An Emergent Phenomenon

Manifestation is not about effort—it’s about alignment.

Physical reality is designed to mirror consciousness. You are manifesting all the time, but most people manifest from wounds, not wisdom. That’s why the Law of Attraction seems to fail—it’s not failing, it’s just working for your whole being, including the unconscious parts that contradict your desires.

Carl Jung said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

Manifesting happens at three levels:

1. Ask: You vibrationally offer a desire—consciously and subconsciously.

2. The Universe Answers: Reality mirrors your entire consciousness, not just your affirmations.

3. You Receive: You align with the experience, act on it, and allow it to happen through you.

Lesson Three: The Three Pillars of Manifesting Without Fail

Whereas Lesson One defined the problem, and Lesson Two explained why it happens, Lesson Three is about the solution.

The 3 Pillars of Manifesting Without Fail:

1. Expand Your Self-View and World-View: The version of you manifesting now is based on an outdated self-identity. Upgrade it.

2. Live in Defiance of the Enemy’s Rules: Reject the programming that says you are limited, separate, and small.

3. Merge the Rational with the Magical: Manifestation happens at the intersection of structure and surrender, logic and intuition, focus and flow.

Are You Ready to Step Into Your Power?

Mass consciousness tells us that effort equals success. That struggle is necessary. That control is the way.

But that’s a lie.

Manifesting isn’t about forcing reality—it’s about aligning with it. True power comes when we integrate the Magical Approach with the Rational World. When we stop letting the mind be a dictator and instead make it a partner to intuition.

The real enemy is the programming that keeps us trapped in a loop.

But once you see the trap, you can break free.

Can you see how this has played out in your own life? Can you feel where you've been held back?

If so, it’s time to take back your power.
