I'd like to understand this better, if anyone can help.

[Have at ye]

This may be a bit off topic, but I wonder if this can be answered by someone.

Keeping goal setting in mind,
What happens when multiple people try to manifest or achieve the same thing through the use of subliminals or otherwise?

For example, if multiple people want to become the best in the world at something, or if multiple people want to acquire something that there is only one of. Does each individual have their own reality and are able to achieve whatever they want to achieve as long as they do it in the right ways?

Or do we all live in the same reality and the person who's the most adept at manifesting/focusing his energy in all the right ways (and better than everyone else) will be the only one to do it?

Interesting. I've been wondering the same thing myself, albeit pertaining to being at cross-purposes, as I'm having lots of that professionally.

In practice, I would believe that it's a matter of persistence, skill (and/or tools), and energy, as you have said. When it's energy vs. energy at cross-purposes, the one with more power and persistence wins.

And if this fails, I guess you could always attempt to do it in a roundabout way (f. in. change your goal from "being the best in the world" to "being a world-class expert at something", which would be pretty cool in its own right), making sure nobody gets the short end of the stick, potentiality-wise. This might not be applicable to all situations, though.
