Selfmanifested

Selfmanifested is an adjective meaning produced, revealed, or brought into view by the subject itself, rather than through external intervention or control. The term emphasizes internal origin, agency, or processes that lead to a phenomenon or characteristic appearing on its own.

In everyday language, selfmanifested can describe traits, talents, or changes that seem to emerge without deliberate prompting from outside. For example, a skill or insight may be described as selfmanifested if it arises from the person’s own development or internal motivation rather than a direct external instruction.

In parapsychology and occult contexts, selfmanifested is sometimes used to refer to phenomena or communications believed to originate within the practitioner or participant, such as inner visions, messages, or manifestations attributed to intrinsic powers. Such claims are controversial and not supported by mainstream scientific methodologies, with critics noting the lack of replicable evidence and the strong role of interpretation.

In philosophy and cognitive science, discussions about selfmanifested phenomena may intersect with topics like endogenous experiences, self-generation, or intrinsic properties. Here the focus is on distinguishing internally driven events from those caused by external stimuli, often within debates about consciousness, perception, and agency.

Limitations: the term is not a standard technical label across disciplines and can be highly context-dependent. It is often used descriptively rather than as a precise scientific category.
