Hello, everyone. This is Tonya Dawn Recla, your Super Power Expert, and you’ve joined us on Disrupt Reality. Today, we have such a treat for you. We’re talking about the science of intention. And we have a delightful woman. She’s infectious in her enthusiasm and her knowledge base. You just feel the depth of the wisdom that courses through her, and it just makes you hungry for more. I’d imagine, if she’s willing, we may have her on the show a number of times.
It seems like there’s a lot of conversations that exist between us in spaces that you all are really fascinated with. So many of you are bridges from these constructed realities, these linear based models, these traditional kind of motifs, and you’ve transitioned into these spaces that are a bit abstract, and a little bit out there, and you’re not real sure how you’re supposed to be threading in your previous 9 to 5 in with it with all of this, but you’re pretty sure they connect in there somehow. But what really is the science of intention?
I think she’s a walking, talking embodiment of that, and so it’s a delight to to be able to introduce her to you, and to welcome her to the show, and her brilliant body of work. Nisha, we really appreciate you and what you offer to the world. So, Nisha Manek everybody. Join me in welcoming her. Nisha, thank you so much for coming on.
Hey, Tonya. I’m really glad to be on your show.
Well, we are so thrilled to have you here. Okay. I’m not going to spill any secrets. We’re just going to jump right in and ask a question. I can be disciplined, I promise, because we’re talking about the science of intention, and I can harness my own to do what I said I was going to do here. But I’m really excited just to dive into some deep conversations with you. And we’ll start with asking what are your superpowers?
Very wonderful question, Tonya. I just want to give you the biggest, best news ever for these listeners. And that is whatever’s happening out there for you, you have the power to manage your inner world in such an excellent way that you can write out the pandemic using your intention. We have superpowers that we have forgotten about. Dr. Bill Tiller, his data clearly shows that focused human intention has the power, the energetic power, to change materials out there. Not only that, Bill Tiller’s work clearly demonstrates that focused human intention can benefit people in a very marvelous and succinct direction. I am going to log off my email.
Hey. Hey, we’re good.
Okay, there we are. I’m back.
Perfect. Perfect. This is life. This is real life. If we can’t do this stuff in real life and demonstrate how that’s done, then then we’re failing, I think. We like transparency here. Well, I love what you’re saying. And just to share with everybody, Nisha wrote Bridging Science and Spirit, and she comes from that physics space. Extremely, extremely impressive resume.
What I love though, Nisha. You’re so vocal and so supportive of the work that you’re building on top of Tiller’s work. And one of the components of Super Power Experts, the directive from spirit was so incredibly clear. We have to work together. We have to come together. We have to figure this out, and that’s why the model for the network was built on this idea of uplifting others in seemingly competitive spaces with yourself.
And how do we open those dialogues, and how do we let other people’s brilliance shine through and not feel threatened by it, but rather allow it to illuminate ourselves more fully? That’s, to me, a big part of what you embody with taking on this work. Obviously brilliant in your own right, and yet willing to kind of see where that connects in with somebody else’s brilliance, and what gets crafted from that space. I think it’s kind of like there were two or more of you gathered by name that this exponential component of what’s possible.
Yes, yes. Oh, beautifully said Tonya. When I was young, I grew up in Kenya. I was born and raised in East Africa in Kenya. I grew up in a very Hindu household, so spirituality is front and center in my life. It’s not a, and God is love. And he has different colors, and facets, and flavors. But the divine as I understood it and still understand it is something that is inseparable. Inseparable with everything I do. I’m very much a truth seeker, and it was something I’ve done all my life.
If I can share a little story, it’s around my mom. Just picture this. I was really young, maybe six or seven, and we would do daily meditation in our home. And my mom would lead that meditation, and she one day said my brothers, and sisters, and I remember this like it happened yesterday. But it made a deep impression. “When you pray in our faith, you give a little offering. Whether it’s a flower, incense, fruit, you take it to a temple, you give it in reverence to your God.”
And so in our home temple, we would put mango, or a banana, or something. She turned to us and said, “Would you ever offer something rotten to God?” I mean, overripe fruit or something. I was horrified. I thought, “Oh, this makes no sense.” I was like, ” This is awful.” Now, here’s the thing that my wise mother had to say. She looked us straight in the eye and we were young. I was six or something like this. And said, “Like that, offer your life in service to God in the rightness of your youth. Don’t wait until you’re 70, or 80, and you’re in a walker.” And then people do pilgrimages later in life. And she says, “That’s okay.” But what she was saying is offer your life in service. Do thy will, God’s will, now. Get with the program. Okay?
I love it.
I never forgot that. So, Nisha, we didn’t have many resources or universities. But I knew that that already informed me. I always used to read whatever I could get my hands off. Whether it was National Geographic or Time Magazine, it was my window to the outer world. To the bigger world, to the scientific adventures ahead. On the one hand, the inner life, the immediate life, the daily life was anchored in spirit. No question about it. But there was this other life also taking shape that has as much reality, and that was the world of science.
And when we ask a question in science, when we write an equation, we are trying to find the truth about nature. We’re trying to find the truth about ourselves. There’s no question about that. Okay. So, here we have a scientific method, and the spiritual method. The scientific method has a protocol in a lab. You take this medicine, point A will get you to point B. And we sort of know. We understand those variables.
Imagine the same thing in spirit. You do this, you will do the prostrations, you pray. And I can tell you the more spiritual you become, the more scientific outcomes become too. And in certain traditions, they actually ask the seeker, “Do you have certain things happening in your life, in your dreams, in your whatever,” so that they are benchmarks. So, science and spirit are actually complimentary ways to knowledge. Knowledge means of the higher kind of knowledge of ourselves.
What has happened is I see it on the world now, Tonya, is the fact that the human genius, the Homo sapiens world that we’ve created, is phenomenal rational science. We have investigated matter, the standard model in physics, and understood the expos on which gives mass to particles. That’s the electromagnetic world. And we built towers, and satellites, and iPads, and iPhones. And I can talk to Tonya right now because of the electromagnetic world. So, that has overtaken us.
It has powered us forward, but there’s a missing piece here. Where was the consciousness all the time? Where’s the Science of Intention? That technology has overtaken us, and you know those questions are coming out in artificial intelligence. Because you can only have the next big breakthrough, not by algorithms and iterations of the same old models, but we need those geeks on those basements making those wonderful technology to have meditation. They must expand their awareness to a bigger bandwidth than that they’re capable of right now.
I think that’s what we’re seeing is leading to some of the tenuousness of some of the models. And we need to take a quick break. I want to dive into this and the science of intention more deeply. Before we do, Nisha, where can we send people to find out more information about you?
Oh. Thank you, Tonya. They can find out about me nishamanekmd.com. All one word.
Oh, perfect. Perfect. Well, folks, we’ve been talking with Dr. Nisha Manek today about the science of intention. When we come back from the break, we’re going to dive in even more fully into the science of intention what she’s speaking about. Where’s that relationship? And I know some of you are fascinated with the manifestation piece, and how it fits in with spirituality, how it fits in with science.
You can go check out and go to superpowerexperts.com/messages if you’re interested. Our first series in the beginning talks about that in terms of the kind of how you start framing it up in a spiritual framework, but really with matter, like Nisha’s talking about. I’m sure you all, with this quick taste here, are excited to have her come back on. So, we’ll take a quick break and we’ll be right back.
