A "Manifest " is a train made up of mixed railcars (box cars, tank cars, piggybacks, etc). Imagine, if you will, one barreling down a length of track with such weight, such velocity, on two thin rails. All that power delicately controlled, it must be one of the most graceful things I know. Yet, one slight mistake and it all derails. All the combustible fuel, the refrigerators, the timber, toxic chemicals, all the food, stereo equipment, the railcars themselves... all go straight to Hell and take anything in it's path with it. I am a Manifest train. Indeed, each of us is a “Manifest” train hauling railcars of emotion, thought, and experience.

These are railcars of our own design and our life's challenge is to comprehend this strange fact and to emerge from a veil of darkness into the full light of conscious creation.
