By Jon Furgeson If you have listened in the last several years to Oprah Winfrey or heard interviews with Ariana Grande or dipped into the world of spiritual social media influencers, then you will have heard about “manifestation.” It is the power we have within, they say, to send out positive energies into the cosmos to manifest the positive persons and events we want in our lives.
