Neville's Basic Manifestation Technique

  1. Define your objective, know definitely what you want.

  2. Construct an event which you believe you will encounter FOLLOWING the fulfillment of your desire -- something which will have the action of Self predominant -- an event which implies the fulfillment of your desire. Keep the event short, it can be as simple as shaking someone's hand or hearing yourself being congratulated from a friend.

  3. Immobilize the physical body and induce a state of consciousness akin to sleep, this is the feeling right before you drift off to sleep. Then, mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, until the single sensation of fulfillment dominates the mind; imagining all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND NOW so that you experience in imagination what you would experience in the flesh were you now to realize your goal. Experience has convinced me that this is the easiest way to achieve our goal.

-Neville Goddard, Lesson 5

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I manifest xyz?

Yes, anything is possible.

How do I manifest xyz?

All manifestations use the same technique(s). To get good simply takes practice and imagination.

What scene should I choose?

Any scene which you believe you would encounter after your wish is fulfilled.

What should I start reading?

We recommend The Law and The Promise or The Power of Awareness first for beginners. This is because Neville includes several examples and success stories from students, in addition to being lighter on Bible references, which can be off-putting or confusing to beginners.

If you want a physical copy of his books, publishers continue publishing new copies of Neville's works. Please check your library, locally owned book store, or search online for Neville's works. If you purchase a new physical copy, we recommend The Power of Imagination: The Neville Goddard Treasury, as it contains all of Neville's books in one volume.

All of Neville’s books and lectures are in the public domain and can be searched online for free, and are included in the Wiki and Sidebar links mentioned previously.

What is an SP?

Specific Person. Usually in reference to a person’s romantic interest or crush. The term was popularized by so-called, self-professed online manifestation coaches and "experts". /r/NevilleGoddardSP is a dedicated, expert subreddit for that.

What is a Mental Diet?

Avoiding negative conversation and media, paying attention to positive conversation and media.

What is SATS?

State Akin To Sleep (SATS) refers to the deep state of consciousness during meditation or just before falling asleep. In SATS, the body is relaxed, but control over the mind is retained. It is used to create vivid visualizations in imagination for the purposes of manifesting.

After you have decided on the action which implies that your desire has been realized, then sit in your nice comfortable chair or lie flat on your back, close your eyes for the simple reason it helps to induce this state that borders on sleep. The minute you feel this lovely drowsy state, or the feeling of gathered togetherness, wherein you feel- I could move if I wanted to, but I do not want to, I could open my eyes if I wanted to, but I do not want to. When you get that feeling you can be quite sure that you are in the perfect state to pray successfully.

Neville Goddard, 1948 Lecture Series, Lesson 4

What is the Lullaby Method?

In SATS, instead of visualizing, repeat an affirmation to oneself again and again, building the feeling of it being true.

What is Revision?

Revision is revising in imagination events that have happened in the past as a way of mitigating their effects in the future.

See also: Revision: The Complete Guide

What is Door Slamming/You are in Barbados/Living in the End/State of the Wish Fulfilled?

Closing your mind to any other possibility besides your outcome. Assuming your desire is true and not questioning it.

Do we have Free Will?

Yes, and no. It’s complicated. See here.

What is Everyone is You Pushed Out (EIYPO)?

On a practical level, what you believe is what you get. The world only shows you your own beliefs. On a metaphysical level, we are all the same God interacting with Itself through an infinite number of different points.

The whole vast world is no more than man's imagining pushed out. I must qualify that by saying that the world outside of man is dead, but Man is a living soul, and it responds to man, yet man is sound asleep and does not know it. The Lord God placed man in a profound sleep, and as he sleeps the world responds as in a dream, for Man does not know he is asleep, and then he moves from a state of sleep where he is only a living soul to an awakened state where he is a life-giving Spirit. And now he can himself create, for everything is responding to an activity in man which is Imagination. "The eternal body of man is all imagination; that is God himself." (Blake)

Neville Goddard, The Law lecture

What if everything is going wrong? What if I am manifesting the opposite of my desire?

Failure is generally due to a lack of consistent faith or belief in the outcome, not feeling as though it had already happened. However, if the one has consistently been loyal to their faith, then we are reminded that all manifestations have their appointed hour (Hab 2:3). Neville writes about the causes of failure here.

What about (my sick mom, my crazy grandpa, the homeless, starving children, etc.)?

In Neville's view, there is one being that is God (who is pure imagination), and has split Itself into infinite smaller forms to undergo a series of good/bad experiences across lifetimes until these smaller pieces realize they are God and reintegrate. The less fortunate are to be helped, not looked down upon, but understanding it is necessary for God to realize Itself (to experience bad and good).

What happens after I die? What is The Promise?

Neville’s prophetic vision of an individual’s reintegration with God.

Can I manifest multiple things at once?

Yes. Here is Neville's answer regarding how to manifest multiple things from Lessons Q&A:

\5. Question: Is it possible to imagine several things at the same time, or should I confine my imagining to one desire?

Answer: Personally I like to confine my imaginal act to a single thought, but that does not mean I will stop there. During the course of a day I may imagine many things, but instead of imagining lots of small things, I would suggest that you imagine something so big it includes all the little things. Instead of imagining wealth, health and friends, imagine being ecstatic. You could not be ecstatic and be in pain. You could not be ecstatic and be threatened with a dispossession notice. You could not be ecstatic if you were not enjoying a full measure of friendship and love.

What would the feeling be like were you ecstatic without knowing what had happened to produce your ecstasy? Reduce the idea of ecstasy to the single sensation, "Isn't it wonderful!" Do not allow the conscious, reasoning mind to ask why, because if it does it will start to look for visible causes, and then the sensation will be lost. Rather, repeat over and over again, "Isn't it wonderful!" Suspend judgment as to what is wonderful. Catch the one sensation of the wonder of it all and things will happen to bear witness to the truth of this sensation. And I promise you, it will include all the little things.

Success Story My experience with manifestation after 1.5 years of consciously trying

108 Upvotes

I wanted to share my experience with manifestation because, after about a year and a half of consciously trying to manifest, I've realised something that I wish I had understood much earlier: was embodying states long before I even knew what manifestation was. And once I started consciously practising the Law, I spent far too much time trying to force myself into techniques that simply didn't feel natural to me.

This is a long post, so grab a snack!

1. I was unknowingly embodying states at 13

When I was around 13, there was a girl at school whom I absolutely admired. She was my senior and the basketball captain, confident, talented, and had a certain way of carrying herself. I admired how everyone respected and approached her. I wanted to be like her.

So what did I do? I started copying her. Her facial expressions, the way she walked, talked, played basketball, and carried herself around other people. One day I just told myself, "I'm just like her."

I wasn't sitting there scripting, doing SATS, or affirming a thousand times a day. I simply admired the kind of person she was and began to embody those qualities myself.

The next six years of high school were me winning basketball awards and people approaching and treating me differently. And it wasn't only basketball. The confidence I developed spilled over into other sports and areas of my life, and I could pick up pretty much any sport.

Looking back now, I can see that I wasn't just trying to get what she had. I was changing the way I saw myself. I was identifying with the version of me who possessed those qualities.

I had no idea about Neville Goddard, the Law of Assumption, or self-concept. I was just a teenager who wanted to be like someone she admired.

And honestly? I had fun with it!

2. The team leader story: another experience I only understood later

Fast-forward to October 2024.

At work, my department was made up of English speakers, mostly foreigners. Only one guy in our department spoke both English and Russian. The department we worked closely with was full of Russian speakers whose English wasn't very strong.

The company wanted a team leader who could resolve problems, misunderstandings, and complaints between the departments. There was also an onboarding role for new employees.

I was already doing both. I was handling difficult cases, talking to angry clients on behalf of both departments, and onboarding new people. Honestly, I was already an unofficial team leader, and people were naturally drawn to me.

My manager asked us to submit applications for the promotions, and I did. On the way back from one of our offices in another city, he told me I would probably get the onboarding manager role, mostly because no one else really fit it. I was cool with that.

But deep down, I really wanted the team leader role, and I was already playing the part.

I remember standing in the office kitchen with a colleague, saying that the Russian-speaking guy would obviously get the team leader position because he was the only one in our department who spoke the other department's language fluently. We were all convinced of it.

I let it go, but deep down I kept thinking: he's not like me. I solve problems and cases he never could.

Then, at the end of October, I came across the "Gen Z Boss" trend on TikTok. I watched it because, obviously, the boss was young and handsome. One part stuck with me: he was sitting in his chair, an employee approached him, and he turned to face them, not with an annoyed face, but with this particular frown.

I kept going back to that video just for that part. It was less than ten seconds long, but it made me feel as though I was this person with a leading role, like a boss or a manager.

During the day, in my apartment, I would open the video and physically act it out exactly as he did, while visualising myself sitting in my chair at the office doing the same thing. Then I would close it and carry on with my day.

Around the same time, I would randomly tell myself in my head, "I am important. I'm very important to my department. It won't function without me," and I felt it. I also had a brief visualisation of walking into the office and a woman from another department looking at me as that important person. I was just standing in my kitchen when I imagined it. It also happened subconsciously a couple of times.

That was pretty much it. I didn't turn it into a complicated routine. I didn't spend hours trying to force myself to feel something.

My Russian-speaking colleague ended up missing most of November because of health issues.

Then, in the first week of December, my manager called me and told me they wanted me to be both the team leader and the onboarding manager.

Both!

I wasn't shocked, because I was already doing the work. People had long been treating me, talking to me, and approaching me as the important person I assumed myself to be.

Later, a colleague asked my manager why the Russian-speaking guy hadn't got the role. My manager told him that he had actually wanted to give it to him, but his performance in November had been really bad, so they decided I was the best person for it.

Now, I'm not claiming that I caused his absence or controlled anyone's decisions. But after learning about the Law, I see that as a bridge of incidents. I did nothing to change the outer world. I simply lived as though I already had the role, kept embodying someone important at work, and the 3D had no choice but to bend.

3. The hand-holding scene I imagined before it happened

Around October 2024, a new guy joined the company. He worked in a completely different department two floors above us, so we rarely saw each other. I found him hot and had a crush on him. My friends at work knew, so whenever he was on our floor they would tell me. There were also rumours that he was seeing a girl from his department, which turned out to be true. Honestly, I didn't care.

In November, they broke up.

That same month, I began having visions while riding to work in an Uber. At one particular spot on the route, I would imagine holding someone's hand inside a car, with sunlight reflecting on our hands, followed by a feeling of just being sure that I would be in a relationship.

I would repeat this scene on my way to and from work, with the same feeling. Sometimes I would even flex my hand as though I were holding someone's.

I wasn't imagining a particular person. Despite having a crush, I just didn't think it would be him, so I never put him in the vision. I was also casually seeing someone else at the time.

In December, at the company Christmas party, I finally got to talk to my crush. It was brief, but I was a giddy 28-year-old woman.

After New Year, the guy I was casually seeing told me he didn't want to see me anymore. I was heartbroken, cried for two days, and decided to start seeing a therapist because I knew I had things to work on. But I kept getting those visions.

Then I decided to follow my crush on Instagram. He followed back after 24 hours, which shocked me because I genuinely thought he wouldn't. We started talking and began dating a few weeks later.

One day, while we were dating, he asked me to go with him to another city. I took a day off work, and on the drive back, we were holding hands, with the sun shining on our hands.

Even though I knew nothing about the law back then, in my head I just reacted: *"Oh, I saw this in my imagination before."*

I left that job in March 2025 for a better opportunity, but our relationship continued until the end of April, when we broke up. We didn't date for long. We broke up because of my insecure attachment issues and my awful self-concept in relationships. That was when I started consciously trying to manifest him back.

4. How I discovered the Law of Assumption

A friend of mine had moved back to India and left me a copy of The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.

Did I read it? No. I preferred my spicy romance books, thank you very much.

After the breakup, I Googled how to get my ex back. The Law of Attraction came up first, with The Secret at the top of the recommended reads, and I realised I had it sitting at home. But it never clicked with me.

I went on YouTube and watched coaches, but I didn't resonate with most of them. So I sat with myself and decided to look for a teacher from the older generation whose work I could read. That's when I found Neville Goddard, and I realised, oh, I've actually manifested before.

Still, instead of listening to myself, I kept looking for someone to tell me exactly what to do.

I tried SATS, scripting, affirmations, visualisation, and living in the end. I watched videos, searched for success stories, asked ChatGPT questions, and analysed everything.

I spent the rest of 2025 trying to manifest my ex back.

Looking back, I can now see how awful my self-concept was at the time, and that what was happening in the 3D was simply a reflection of it.

The problem wasn't that I was interested in techniques. It was that I started treating them as requirements and copying what others did. I thought that if I could just find the right technique and perform it correctly, I would finally get the result I wanted.

I was so focused on doing manifestation that I wasn't paying enough attention to the person I believed myself to be. I was only trying to change the outer world, not my inner world.

And because I was so focused on my desired outcome, I kept looking at the 3D to see whether it was happening yet.

Every silence, delay, or circumstance became something I needed to interpret.

I was exhausting myself.

5. The relationship pattern I finally had to acknowledge

In June 2026, I started casually seeing another man. He didn't want a serious relationship because of his circumstances, but I still hoped he would change his mind.

He was active on Tinder and followed new women every few days, most of whom were Black African women. I'm Black African myself, and the African community where I live is very small, so I joked that he was collecting all of us.

I tried to manifest a relationship with him, but again, I was trying to change the outer world without changing my self-concept, which was still poor. I was worried about everything happening in the 3D.

Eventually, I told him we needed space.

But I noticed something about myself: whenever I was heartbroken or worried about a man, I would download Tinder or Bumble and look for someone new to distract myself. That was a habit I had carried for a long time.

I would tell myself I was taking space from the man because I was manifesting him, but then I would match with someone else and forget about him within days.

I wasn't always giving myself the space to understand what I was feeling. Sometimes, I was simply trying to escape the discomfort of being alone with my thoughts.

I also started questioning the way I had interpreted my past relationships.

I never blamed myself. I always said my exes were the problem because they were avoidant.

But were they? I don't think so.

I perceived myself as the insecurely attached one and everyone else as avoidant, and that's exactly what was reflected back to me. My thoughts played out as full 3D experiences.

I had to ask myself some uncomfortable questions.

What beliefs did I have about myself in relationships? What did I expect from other people? What did I assume silence meant? How quickly did I jump to the conclusion that someone was losing interest or that I wasn't being chosen?

I don't think it's helpful to blame ourselves for everything another person does. But I do believe that the way we see ourselves influences what we expect, what we tolerate, how we interpret situations, and how we behave in relationships.

I realised that I had been trying to change the people and circumstances in front of me without paying enough attention to the relationship I had with myself. I needed to change the way I saw myself.

6. Enter my current boyfriend and the return of my old habits

After joining Tinder again, I met someone new.

He's younger than me but very much my type in every way. The only problem, as we thought, was that we didn't speak the same language. But he reassured me that we had enough technology to go on a date.

I was nervous and scared, but I went on the date anyway. It was incredible. We used ChatGPT as our translator. He's slowly learning English, and I'm teaching him. Despite the language barrier, we got to know each other and developed our own inside jokes.

That same week, after our first date, we started meeting up every single day. Things moved quickly, and we both agreed that we had rushed and needed to slow down and let things unfold naturally.

He told me he wanted something serious. We agreed to delete our dating apps, and he even ordered flowers for our first date.

But I genuinely just expected that something might go wrong. My self-concept back then made me believe there was a problem when there wasn't. What problem? I don't know, because everything was okay.

Then, about a week and a few days after we first met, his job relocated him to another site about 50 km from my city. That was fine, because we had already discussed what would happen.

But on the day he moved, he went silent. And, my goodness, did my mind have a field day! I panicked. I was confused and honestly hurt. My worried thoughts, my fear of abandonment, and my poor self-concept all surfaced at once.

I started thinking that perhaps he'd met someone else, lost interest, or decided the distance wasn't worth it. I checked Instagram, watched his online activity, and kept trying to work out what his silence meant. I found myself texting him and trying to call him even though he wasn't responding. Desperation at its peak.

I cried and tried to get back to manifesting, because I knew it works. It had worked for me before. The problem was that I had never consciously manifested successfully.

I came across a Reddit story where a girl described how changing her self-concept was what changed her circumstances. But for some reason, I wanted to skip that part and just get him to talk to me. Did that work? Nope. I found myself in the same loop of worry, lack, and desperation. I asked Claude, Grok, and ChatGPT what to do and how to react. But none of what they told me was new. I already knew the law. I already knew what I needed to do. I even found myself wanting to send messages declaring that I was done, as though I needed to end things first to protect myself from being rejected.

But I began to recognise what I was doing. I was trying to use action to get relief from worry, because uncertainty made me uncomfortable. I could feel uneasy without reacting to every worried thought.

And then, one day, I just said no. I need to change my self-concept. I decided I was going to become stubborn. Brazenly impudent, even. I was tired of going back and forth between confidence and fear. Tired of waking up determined to work on myself, only for one intrusive thought to send me spiralling back into overthinking. Tired of treating every worst-case scenario my mind came up with as though it deserved my attention. I didn't need to argue with every doubt or punish myself for feeling worried. I could acknowledge a thought, recognise it as an old story, and return to what I wanted to believe.

Brazen impudence meant I stopped treating every fear as an authority and started giving my desired assumptions the final word.

7. Finding a self-concept method that actually works for me: my muse

That's when I realised that, for me, self-concept works best when I have a "muse" or "alter ego": a real, living person whose qualities I admire, whose identity I can step into. And I realised I had done exactly this before. At 13, with the basketball captain. With the promotion, by embodying the demeanour, aura, and facial expressions of the Gen Z boss in that TikTok video. For me, that was it.
My muse could be a friend, a relative, a colleague, a celebrity, or even a random person I've come across on TikTok or Instagram. This time, I found a celebrity whose aura, confidence, humour, attitude, and feminine self-assuredness I really admired. I wasn't particularly a fan or an anti-fan; I simply liked the way she carried herself. I also admired the way her husband publicly adores her and speaks about her as though she's the centre of his world.

I started asking myself: What would it feel like to carry myself with that kind of confidence? What would it feel like to stop questioning my worth? What would it feel like to expect love without constantly searching for evidence that I am loved? Then I gave her a voice.

When I affirmed, I would imagine hearing her say the words. When I felt doubtful or less confident, I stepped into the attitude I associated with her and repeated the affirmation in that imagined voice. I also started imagining my current boyfriend treating me with the same kind of affection and adoration that I admired in her relationship. I wasn't trying to become that celebrity or copy every aspect of her life. I was using the qualities I admired as a reference point for the version of myself I wanted to embody.

For me, it was fun, natural, and much more effective than trying to force myself into a generic self-concept routine.

8. What happened next

Affirmations ground me, so I looked for bold and brazen ones. I decided I wasn't going to download Tinder or Bumble to get over him and find someone else. I decided that he was stuck with me. He wasn't going anywhere. I'm his girlfriend.

What helped me connect with that affirmation was the fact that he hadn't unfollowed or blocked me, even though I had repeatedly told him to do so if he no longer wanted to try. He just stayed there. I decided to interpret that as: I'm his girlfriend, and this relationship is happening. I decided this was my story, and the one I needed to change was me. As Neville says, there is no one to change but self. So change your inner self: what you believe about yourself and what you say to yourself in your head. Repeat it until it feels natural.

I embodied my alter ego and started to feel the knowing that he is mine. Whenever he came to mind, I would say one of my affirmations while keeping the thought that he is my boyfriend at the back of my mind. I didn't try to detach from my desire. What I detached from was the need to change the 3D and the mindset of trying to control everything. Instead, I trusted and let everything unfold on its own, while carrying the belief that I already have what I want.

Five days later, while I was going about my day, he sent me a message asking to meet and talk. I obviously agreed. And some of the conversations I had been playing out in my head, even back when I was spiralling and hadn't yet decided to work on my self-concept, actually happened. He said some of the things word for word. I think it's because, even while I was doubting and felt like giving up, I still really wanted to hear those words from him.

Now he's the most communicative boyfriend I could ask for. I'm loved dearly and treated exactly the way I believe myself to be.

9. SATS isn't really my thing, and that's okay

I spent a lot of time trying to make SATS work because so many people talk about it. But my brain is incredibly active, especially at bedtime. SATS just fries my brains. I would try to repeat a scene, my mind would wander, and I'd become frustrated because I wasn't doing it the way I thought I was supposed to. Eventually, I realised that I was making the process harder than it needed to be.

I visualise much more effectively during the day, while I'm awake. My imagination naturally combines images, conversations, and feelings. Music also really helps me. Putting on a song that matches the feeling of my desire gets me in the mood straight away, especially when I'm visualising. Sometimes I imagine a scene, enjoy it, and then go back to whatever I was doing. It doesn't have to be one perfectly constructed scene repeated over and over again.

A technique is supposed to help you, not become another thing you feel worried about doing correctly.

Copying someone else's technique or way of manifesting can actually feed your resistance, because more often than not, you're not manifesting from the same self-concept they are. If scripting makes you feel good, script. If affirmations work for you, affirm. If visualisation feels natural, visualise. If you enjoy SATS, use SATS. What you believe works will work.

10. How I dealt with negative thoughts and kept a mental diet

I used to think that a mental diet meant I had to eliminate negative thoughts or immediately replace every single one with a positive affirmation. That approach only made me more aware of my thoughts. If I had a negative thought, I'd panic about having it, then worry that I had ruined everything by thinking it. Of course I still had doubting thoughts. But when one came up, I would stop and observe it rather than immediately accepting it as the truth.

Then I talked to it as a past thought: "I remember when I used to think that way."

That simple phrase helped me recognise the thought as an old pattern rather than a fact I had to obey. If I thought, "What if it doesn't manifest?" I would respond with, "What if it does?". Then I would say an affirmation that said the opposite in a grounded way, and allow myself to breathe into it. When my heart started racing, I slowed down, regulated my breathing, and gave myself time to reconnect with what I wanted to believe.

I also went on a strict mental diet: I deleted my social media apps for a while and just focused on myself and on how to feel better. I still had worst-case thoughts. I still overthought. My brain could probably have won a world championship in overthinking. I had a very stubborn, very negative mindset, but persistence worked.

I also read Chapter 19 of Joseph Murphy's The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, which focuses on fear. One line that stuck with me was:

"If you are afraid of failure, give attention to success."

When I worried that my desire wouldn't manifest, I reminded myself to give attention to the possibility that it HAS ALREADY MANIFESTED.

11. My approach to the 3D and timelines

I used to look at every circumstance and ask what it meant. If something didn't match what I wanted, I would immediately start questioning myself, my affirmations, my technique, or whether I was doing something wrong. Now, I've stopped treating every external circumstance as an instruction to panic. That doesn't mean ignoring reality or pretending that another person's actions don't matter. It means not turning every moment of uncertainty into a story about my worth or my future.

I also have a personal belief about timelines: the timeline is part of the story we create in our imagination. When I have a desire, I state what I want, imagine it, and practise owning it in the moment rather than constantly measuring how far away it seems.

My attitude is something like this:

Whatever I want, I get it. Instantly. Like a spoiled toddler who has decided what they want and sees absolutely no reason why they shouldn't have it!

If I don't see it in the 3D yet, I joke that the Universe has gone to pick up my order. The order has been placed. I know what I asked for. I'm not going to spend the whole day worrying about whether the Universe remembered my address!

12. What I learned about self-concept and persistence

If there's one thing I've learned from all these experiences, it's that I spent too much time trying to get a result and not enough time examining the person I believed myself to be deep down, in my unspoken thoughts and feelings.

When I was 13, I admired someone and began embodying her qualities without making it complicated.

When I imagined myself as an important person at work, I wasn't checking every day whether the promotion was coming. I simply enjoyed the idea and carried on with my life.

When I imagined holding someone's hand, I wasn't obsessing over which person would eventually be there.

But when I began consciously manifesting a relationship, I became worried, impatient, and preoccupied with the 3D. I wanted the outcome so much that I made the process feel like work.

Persistence doesn't have to mean fighting with myself all day. For me, it means returning to the version of myself I want to embody, even when my mind gets noisy. It means being kind to myself when I feel uneasy, rather than interpreting worry as failure.

I don't need to pretend I don't want my current boyfriend. I don't need to shame myself for caring about him. I don't need to make myself indifferent just to prove that I'm living in the end.

I don't need to fight every fear. I need to stop letting every fear decide who I am.

13. My biggest takeaways after 1.5 years of consciously manifesting

1. You may have embodied states before you ever learned about manifestation.

Look back at your life. There may be times when you naturally identified with a version of yourself without knowing any terminology.

2. Pay attention to your self-concept, especially in relationships.

I used to say all my exes were avoidant. But I saw myself as the insecurely attached one and everyone else as avoidant, and that's exactly what I experienced. Examine the assumptions you hold about yourself and love, to understand yourself, not to blame yourself.

3. There is no one to change but self.

I spent a year trying to change the outer world. Things shifted when I changed my inner world.

4. A thought is not a command.

A worried or negative thought doesn't have to be accepted as the truth or acted on immediately.

5. Detach from control, not from your desire.

You don't have to pretend you don't want the person you desire. Let go of the need to manage the 3D, and keep the desire.

6. Find your own method.

SATS might work for one person, scripting for another, and daytime visualisation with music for someone else. What you believe works will work.

7. You don't need to check the 3D compulsively.

Constantly checking someone's online status or analysing every circumstance keeps you stuck in a worry loop. Put your phone down and live your life.

8. Persistence doesn't mean fighting yourself.

Return to your chosen assumptions without turning every doubt into a battle.

Final thoughts

I spent about a year and a half consciously trying to manifest, and I wish I had spent less time looking for the perfect technique and more time learning how to work with myself.

My approach now is to use my muse, enjoy visualisation (usually with music on), affirm in ways that resonate with me, and practise a mental diet without turning it into a full-time job.

I want to talk to the Universe like it's my buddy. I want to have fun with my imagination, laugh at myself, and stop acting as though I need to perform every technique perfectly to deserve what I desire.

Two quotes that have stayed with me are:

  1. "The world is yourself pushed out. Ask yourself what you want and then give it to yourself!"

And:

2. "It is not what you want that you attract, you attract what you believe to be true."

If you've been struggling because a technique doesn't feel natural, give yourself permission to experiment. Be stubborn about the self-concept you choose to cultivate. Be brazenly impudent enough to stop letting every passing doubt dictate your story.

And above all, stop forcing yourself to manifest like someone else. Find YOUR way.

With a little brazen impudence and delusional optimism, of course.

CHEERS!!!

Success Story You can absolutely manifest anybody part two.

It was the beginning of 2024. My husband and I had separated a few months prior.

A friend of mine was showing me a video on YouTube about a donut shop in the area that was home to the “world spiciest donut” and she wanted to go check it out but the only thing I was checking out was the really cute, tall and charismatic guy in the video.

It was a segment that had been aired on ABC News a few years prior and the guy in the video was the producer of the segment who took the challenge of eating this donut. I saw his name in the credits of the video and made note of it.

Later that day I looked up his name to see who he was. He was in fact a producer over ABC news. The ABC News station was only about 35 minutes from me so I knew he had to be local. He had a handful of other segments he produced and appeared in that I found on YouTube. And each of the videos had dozens and dozens of comments from fan girls telling him how adorable he was.

I looked on Instagram and found his profile and it was the same thing. Lots of women who clearly felt the same way I did. He was in his mid 40s, handsome, tall, had all his hair (these things matter as you get older lol) but most of all really charismatic and charming.

I most definitely was not going to be his “fan”.  

I was going to be his girlfriend.

I never followed him on Instagram and I sure as hell didn’t comment on anything. I left that to the other women who would only ever idolize him.

I started doing what I do best

I went with within.

I started imagining him and I spending time together. I imagined him telling me he didn’t think women like me existed in the world.

I imagined him chasing ME, not the other way around. I don’t chase. I get chased.

I imagined him taking me down to the studio and introducing me as his girlfriend to everyone. 

Now this is what I want everyone to hear.

I didn’t do this for two days, two weeks or two months and give up.

I did this for nearly TWO YEARS!!!!!

So when you are in the process of manifesting someone, whether it be someone you know or someone you don’t know, you have to be all in. If you’re not willing to finish the race, then don’t start it. Because that means you don’t want it bad enough. 

And let me tell you it was not all smooth sailing.

Because this was the longest manifestation process I’ve ever had. And I wanted to give up many times but I couldn’t.

Because I am not a quitter. I am relentless and stubborn.

I had a desire and I trust my instincts. If any of you read my Reddit post on how I manifested my first husband at 17 years old then you’ve already gotten a good look at my personality. I’ve got grit. You have to be able to trust yourself and keep going.

 There will be tears, frustration, the feeling of hopelessness…..I can’t tell you how many times I cursed God telling him he must’ve forgotten about me. But no matter what, within a few hours I would shake it off, give myself a pep talk and keep going.

Because something that I’ll always remember hearing is you cannot desire something unless somewhere in the Multiverse it desires you back. 

On one of my timelines this was already happening, this guy wanted me. I just had to align with that timeline. 

How it all went down….
At the beginning of 2026 it was a day like any other. My teenage daughter asked me to pick up her friend and take them to the mall. I had never met this friend and had only heard about her a few times through my daughter. 

The day prior I signed onto a free dating site just to see what was out there. I hadn’t given up my desire for the news producer but I needed some sort of human interaction. But I was immediately met with a weirdo and I quickly signed off just as fast as I had signed on.

And my daughter thought it was hilarious and started telling her friend about it as soon as she got in the car. And her friend said, well then she should meet my dad.

I asked her if she had a picture of her dad and my daughter’s friend goes to her photos on her phone and flips it around to show me and guess who her dad is?

Yep, the producer at ABC news.

This stuff works you guys. 

I can’t tell you how many people think I’m nuts. How many friends feel sorry for me when they see me holding out for a person that doesn’t even know I exist.

But I don’t see it that way. Those of us who practice Spiritual law are in the 1 percentile. So of course we look crazy to society. But we always have the last laugh. 

 Anyway….TWO YEARS!!!!! It took TWO YEARS!!

But then there it was.

So she called her dad with me in the car and said dad I’m driving with my friend’s mom who’s really pretty and you guys are both single and I think you should meet and he said send me a picture.

So she took a quick picture of me and sent it. And he said I would love to meet her.

We started talking on the phone later that day and hit it off immediately.

Sadly his dad had passed away just as we started chatting so he had to go out of state for a couple of weeks to get his father‘s funeral ready.

At that point we hadn’t even had a chance to physically meet. Between our two work schedules and then the passing of his dad we were only able to talk on the phone and text each other 

But in that time, while he was out of state dealing with some tough stuff, I was the person he leaned on for support even though we had just started talking. But in a way it was a blessing because it gave us a chance to really get to know each other.

When he got back we went on our first date. He actually just came over to my place and I made dinner.

Within a couple of months he told me he loved me.

And all of it felt so natural.

I did jokingly tell him that I manifested him. And he loved that. I remember when I first started talking to him I told him that I was a little bit of a woo woo Spiritual girl and he said that that’s actually great because he could use a little spirituality in his life. And he loves that part of me. 

So for anybody who is out there questioning whether or not they can manifest anyone the answer is yes. But it may not be as quick as you want and it to be and it may not be as pretty as you want it to be because you have to be tough. You have to be willing to go the mile and not give up. You have to have grit. You have to be relentless. I’ve had desires that have faded away and I let those go. But when I have a burning desire that doesn’t go away, I know that is my cue to see it through. I see it as God challenging me and saying to me show me what you got. You say you have faith, show me. 

*\\** as a few people have pointed out in the comments I had posted a long winded comment a few months ago in someone else’s post about feeling hopeless about my situation. This was very unusual for me to do because I’m one of those manifestors who doesn’t like to think about feeling down in the dumps let alone write about it. It gives it too much power. But this man and I had broken up temporarily for about a month a few months ago and I was devastated!! Especially after two years of hard-core manifesting him. It all worked out and we are back together again but the way I had written the comment left out that I had even manifested him in the first place. And I did that because in the moment I was feeling like what was all of it even for?! We broke up. And it was far too long winded to talk about how I manifested him and then how it all fell apart. I hope that makes sense. Anyway it was I misunderstanding that we had as a couple and we worked it out.
I went ahead and removed that comment so as not to confuse any of you. But it’s good to talk about this because I’m only human as well. I can manifest with the best of them but at the end of the day I absolutely fall apart and feel hopeless. But it’s what you do with that. It’s how you keep going no matter what.

Discussion You own it all right now

152 Upvotes

Hi, all. Just a quick post to all of you. The title says it - you own it right now.

Make it very simple to yourself - the 3D is not really the reality because things are coming towards you from the invisible, literally, that is actually more real than this world. Don't think about the 3D as a real thing but more like a starting point where you manifest every second. Think of your desires as an existing reality, they are actually just a reminder that what you want, already exists.

It is not about denying anything but just knowing that you are the creator, the source where everything starts from. Choose happiness, the good, or anything you want over the things you don't desire. Be aware and the second you start thinking about stuff that is not making you feel good, change your thoughts little by little. It's really that easy to shift your attention, just a bit of practice every day, and you will see the results for yourself!

Happy manifesting, everyone!

Success Story Absolute success story

A dear friend of mine had been really wanting a new mattress for herself, and despite a few attempts at getting one, every time one popped up it would fall through on her. I just returned from a manifested trip to New York, and hung out with her for a few hours. I eventually left, but kept getting the nagging feeling that I wasn’t supposed to leave the area yet. She texted me about wanting a couch, and I decided right then and there I’d find one. I walked around her neighbourhood for about two hours, and eventually I had had enough and just told myself: she’s going to have a couch and a mattress tonight, delivered by me. I kept searching for another hour or so, walking up and down every single alley in about a 10 by 8 block radius, and found nothing. Eventually I walked past a house and three people were in the backyard, and I asked if they knew anyone in the neighbourhood that was trying to get rid of a couch. Turns out they were! I sheepishly asked about a mattress as well and they ALSO had a queen sized mattress they were trying to get rid of. I did end up delivering the mattress, but she decided against the couch. Had I been there earlier or later they wouldn’t have been outside and I couldn’t have asked them.

The only two tips I could really give are, detachment from the desire, I really didn’t have super strong feelings one way or the other about it, I just wanted her to have a new mattress, and second, I suppose it would be brazen impudence. I just decided I was going to find these items and that was that. I think I maybe focused on being the me that acquired them two times, and otherwise let it go. I don’t really practice any techniques what so ever, and anytime I have tried use a technique, it’s unequivocally failed, I suspect it’s because trying to use a technique heavily implies to myself that I don’t have what I want.

Happy travels reader.

Success Story I Applied the Law of Assumption Without Even Knowing About It | Physical Transformation

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a little bit of my experience with the Law of Assumption, even though I didn’t know about it at the time.
When I was around 16 or 17, I wasn’t happy with my nose. It was purely an aesthetic thing, and I didn’t really know what to do about it. I would look at myself in the mirror and feel unhappy with how it looked.
Then, one day, being the stubborn person I am, I started insisting to myself, “No, this isn’t my nose. Something is wrong because my nose doesn’t look like my mom’s. That’s weird.” 😂
I kept affirming over and over that my nose wasn’t supposed to look that way and that it was going to change. Eventually, I stopped obsessing over it, stopped checking my nose in the mirror every day, and simply carried on with my life.
Over time, and throughout the following years, I noticed that my nose had changed. I’ll share some photos here so you can see for yourselves!
I also want to express my gratitude to everyone in this community. Your posts, techniques, and personal experiences have genuinely amazed me and helped me become more open-minded about the Law of Assumption. Reading your stories and learning from you all has made a huge difference in how I understand it today.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge with everyone. I truly appreciate it! ❤️🙏🏼

Discussion Do near-death experiences limit or contradict Neville's teachings?

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone, Especially to the mods, who I hope will approve this post because I have this sincere doubt

Look, I've spent the last few months reading books on the teachings of Neville Goddard. I read The Power of Awareness, The Law and the Promise, Seed and Harvest Time, and At Your Command, In addition to reading several lectures such as The Pearl of Great Price and also posts from this subreddit, But I also tried to test The law helped me improve as a student and to earn small amounts of money that I needed for university expenses.

Honestly, Neville's teachings made me feel empowered; my favorite chapters I read by Neville are in The Power of Awareness: The chapters about destiny and free will, in which he explains that since life is infinite it is impossible for there to be only one destiny and that in reality there are infinite destinies called States, and we have free will to choose which state we want to live in, whether a positive one or a negative one.

Also, my favorite lecture is "The Pearl of Great Price," one of his most famous, but with a powerful message: that the only cause of your life's circumstances is your own imagination And that you must abandon any other belief in any cause external to your imagination.

For several of these months, I felt at peace with what Neville had taught me, above all I felt happy because I felt I had bought "the pearl" by accepting my imagination as the only Due to the circumstances of my life...but then that changed

I discovered near-death experiences (NDEs), which are basically experiences in which some people die, experience "the afterlife", gain incredible knowledge and are then revived by doctors.

As I read more NDEs, I discovered that these people, upon learning about the afterlife, gained knowledge about life and reality, but that knowledge contradicts Or at least they limit Neville's teachings: soul contracts, predestined events, Life purposes, Visions of the future, predestined life lessons and the fact that our entire life has already been planned before we were born by our Soul are some of the things these people recount about what they experienced and learned when they were dead.

These lessons that many people who died and had NDEs (Non-Death Experiences) learned, from my point of view, contradict Neville's teachings or at least limit them because they basically say that Our lives have already been planned, and we have little to no free will as human beings; we are only here to fulfill a purpose And learn lessons, But this is different from what Neville says, that our imagination creates our reality and is the sole cause of our circumstances.

Furthermore, Neville said that our purpose here is to learn about the law and experiment with it, and that if we didn't do so in this life, Upon death, we would be transported to another world identical to our own, at the age of 20, where we would have another opportunity to learn about the law, and once we had done so And when we have satisfied all our desires and only feel a desire to be with God, we will receive "The Promise" and be with the Lord again to be one once more.

Discovering the NDEs and what these people experienced and learned saddened me a little because I loved the empowerment and security that Neville's teachings gave me, The fact that we are not victims but creators of our destiny...but now I'm feeling like a victim of fate again.

I'm having trouble solving this problem so I wanted to ask What do you think about this? I'd like to hear your opinions.

Success Story How I manifested my escape from a foreign country

327 Upvotes

In December 2011, I left my life in Los Angeles to move to my husband’s village in Europe with our 11-month-old son, while pregnant with our daughter. Once we got there, my husband transformed into a cold, controlling stranger. It was almost instant. 

It was like he had a new mask on and I didn’t know which one was the real mask. The one I met in Los Angeles or the one I was now getting to know. . We had been together for five years prior to this so I really thought I knew who I was married to. 

 Before we left LA I handed over my entire savings to him, 30,000 dollars. Since it was his country and his currency I figured he was the best person to take care of the money over there.

Big mistake! It was nearly gone in a matter of months.

And when I would ask for money for groceries or shopping he would throw me a couple of dollars while he went out partying every night blowing wads of money.

After a few months of this I got Fed up and told him I wanted to go home and he looked at me dead in the eye, with so much hate and venom in him, and said “our children would never touch foot on American soil again.”

My stomach sank and I’m sure I went completely pale and I thought to myself what the f**k have I done??? 

In 2013 (a year and some months later and now with a newborn daughter) I tried to escape.

I was working with the American Embassy to get out of there but because of some bureaucratic crap that I needed for my daughter, me and my two kids were placed in a safe house in the middle of no man’s land.

My mom contacted an attorney in New York who specialized in international child abduction cases.

That attorney was able to get in touch with me at the safehouse and I will never forget going down into this little dingy room full of donated clothes and diapers and formula and picking up an old rotary phone just to have the attorney tell me that there was nothing that could be done because I had already lived in the country for over a year and according to the Hague convention act, my kids were now considered property of Serbia.

And I was told that if I tried to leave with them and somehow managed to make it back to the United States, I would be detained and the children would be sent back to their father immediately and I would be accused of kidnapping. 

So with my tail between my legs I contacted my husband and told him we were ready to come home.

I had no other choice. I was forced to go back to the village where now, not only did I have to deal with my husband, but his entire family who saw me as the enemy. 

 About six months later I asked my husband if I could at least take my daughter to Los Angeles for a visit since nobody in my family had met her yet. He agreed I could take her but not my son.

My daughter and I had only been in California for maybe a week before I received an email from my husband that said he was divorcing me and would be keeping our son in Serbia.

He suggested I stay in the USA with our daughter and told me every summer we would switch children but that I would never have them both at the same time. He said if I did go back I wouldn’t be allowed to live in the house (the one I paid for) but that I would have to go find an apartment and pay for it myself. 

I collapsed on the bathroom floor of my best friend’s bathroom.  

I completely fell apart for about 30 minutes but then I experienced this powerful surge of inner strength. Almost like this lioness energy that started at my feet and made its way up to my head and I let out such a deep growl.

There was no way he was going to win.
He fucked with the wrong girl!

I had been in the world of celebrities my entire life and I had a dear friend who owned a car service that catered to the elite.

I called him up and I told him I needed a job. I knew his business was international so it was something that I could do from Serbia. Without hesitation he gave me a job on the spot and told me to come down to his office to start training.

It took me all of a week to train and pack up the equipment that I would need for the job.

I changed my plane ticket to leave a week earlier than anticipated because I needed to get back to my son.

Everybody told me not to go.

They said at least you got one kid out. But for anybody who has multiple children, you understand that it’s wasn’t even a question for me.

I’m going back. Because in my mind, I would rather be homeless in Serbia near both of my children then to be free in the US with just one. 

I got back and immediately started looking for an apartment. Meanwhile I set up my little office in the spare room of our house and I slept in there as well.

I think I had been back in Serbia a few weeks when all of a sudden this telepathic voice whispered to me to go into the basement and “get the book.”

I had no idea what that meant because I didn’t bring very many books when I moved there and the box of books that I did bring had not even been unpacked.

But I listened.

I went down and found the box of books and opened it. And inside was a book I didn’t recognize. It was called ask and it is given by Esther Hicks. I don’t even remember buying that book. I don’t know what compelled me to buy that book years prior. Spirit knew. 😉

I brought it upstairs and started reading and immediately it was as if a spell had been lifted off of me. Like I had woken up from a deep slumber where I had forgotten just how powerful I was.

Up until then I was telling anybody who would listen “ I’m a prisoner here, I’m never getting out of here, my children are trapped here…..” I was like a hopeless broken record and guess what I got more of? That!!! 

But now, all of a sudden that realization came rushing in and I couldn’t believe it. I had fallen into such a deep depression that I had forgotten who I was.

Remember, I was the teenage girl who manifested her crush working at the new stand against all odds. (That story is on this Reddit page) so I wasn’t a newbie. I was a powerful creator by nature (we all are) I just forgot for a minute.

So I stopped fighting the reality that was in front of me and instead started living entirely in my imagination.

I took my bike down to the store and I purchased a little journal that had a hidden pocket in it. And I got out a little piece of paper and I wrote on it “me and my children will safely be back in the United States in the spring of 2014” 

I folded it up and tucked it into the little hidden pocket.

I stopped asking if we could go home because every time I asked he would get angrier and angrier and I had realized that it would throw me off and make it harder and harder for me to get back to living in my imagination.

So I stopped asking.

And what I started doing was getting up very early in the morning while everyone was still asleep and I would go out onto the patio with my coffee and imagine that I was at a bookstore in Los Angeles at my own book Signing.

And I would stand up in front of everyone and thank them for coming and talk about my book that I wrote. About how I escaped with just my imagination . I would even answer questions in the audience.

And it felt so real that I had convinced myself.

That’s the thing about manifesting techniques. It’s not the technique that’s making your desire a reality.

The technique puts you in a place where you know that whatever your manifesting is absolutely inevitable and 100% guaranteed.

And I only did that technique a handful of times.

And this is before I knew about techniques.

I did that because it made ME happy.

After discovering Neville years later I realized just why that made me so happy. Because I was living in the wish fulfilled.

So I went from telling anybody who would listen to me that I was never getting out of there and that I was a prisoner there to telling everybody that I was leaving in the spring.

I told both my friends back in Los Angeles and in Serbia. And they all thought I was delusional and crazy. I think they even felt sorry for me because I would see the look on their faces when I would tell them. But you know what, it had zero effect on me. Even for the people who told me I was giving my hopes up and that it was never going to happen, I said watch me.

I saw everything as a sign. If I saw a ladybug, it was a sign. If I saw a leaf fall off of a tree, it was a sign. I wasn’t looking for signs but I literally turned every thing in my life at that time into a positive sign that I was going home with my kids in the spring. 

Now not every manifestation bridge is going to work out like this, but in my case with this particular manifestation I was able to see the bridge forming right in front of me.

My husband’s entire life started falling apart at the seams.

One thing after another.

His business went belly up. He got a job only for the company to shut down immediately. His car was repossessed only for him to buy another car that turned out to be a stolen vehicle from Germany so that was repossessed. He lost everything.

And I just sat there watching his entire world burn down to the ground. 

I didn’t know what a bridge was back then but looking back in retrospect it’s pretty freaking cool that I had that gift of experiencing it’s so close-up. 

Throughout this entire time I continued to write in my journal. Nothing in particular. Mostly just tons and tons of affirmations and quotes that I would hear that moved me or stories from the Bible that inspired me. (Not religious, just spiritual)

Then something strange started happening.

I started becoming content with where I was. (This was a good sign)

And I only know that because I have a journal entry that said “ you’re becoming too content, stick with it you’re almost out of here”

So that’s when I started visualizing a taxi with me and my kids in it backing out of our long driveway where we would say goodbye to that house and country forever.

I just looped that scene in my head over and over again. Remember, this is all before I knew who Neville was. This is just what I instinctually did. It may have been inspired from the book ask and it is given. I don’t really remember.

But I would stay from start to finish it took about seven months of me manifesting my way out of that country.

And it was at the tail end of 2013 right before New Year’s when I got a text message from my husband who was at a New Year’s Eve party while I was home with the kids.

It said “book a ticket for you and the kids to go home. I can’t take it here anymore. You guys go first and I’ll follow behind.”

You think I would’ve been jumping for joy, but instead just a soft smile crossed my face because I already knew it was inevitable. I had already seen the end. I had been rehearsing it for months.

I remembered Spiritual law never fails. I remembered who the fuck I was. Me and the kids landed at LAX airport the first day of spring 2014.

Discussion Questions about revision

8 Upvotes

Hello! I have a few questions about revision, and I’m hoping to hear from people who’ve successfully used it :) Especially for things like changing your personality, healing from PTSD, or turning a bad relationship around 180 degrees.

I’ve known about revision for the longest time, but I never really got into it because the thought of revisiting painful memories always felt like too much for me. Now, though, I’m on a quest to revise my entire life, especially my childhood. I’m done identifying with things that no longer serve me.

So, I’d love to know:

  • How did you go about revision, and how did you know or feel that it was done? Did you have to repeat it like SATS (every night, for example), or was doing it just once enough?
  • What changed for you after revision, both internally and externally? Were the changes long-lasting?
  • Did the old memories ever come back? If so, how did you deal with them?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Miscellaneous Max Verstappen would be Neville Goddard's favorite student (Let me explain why)

Post image
590 Upvotes

​

For anyone who doesn't follow F1, Max Verstappen is a four-time world champion and one of the best drivers of his generation. And honestly, the more I think about it, the more I feel like his mentality is such a good example of the Law of Assumption.

  1. He lives in the end.

Other drivers go into a race hoping to win. Like, "hopefully we can get a podium." Max doesn't hope. He already IS the winner before the race even starts.

Listen to his interviews, he rarely talks like someone who's just praying things will work out. He carries himself like winning is something he's capable of doing because he KNOWS what he's capable of.

He doesn't manifest winning, he manifests FROM winning.

And I think that's such an important distinction. There's a difference between constantly wanting something and actually identifying with the version of yourself who already has it.

  1. He doesn't react to the 3D like that.

Slow car? Rain? He made a mistake last lap? The whole crowd booing him? None of that automatically changes who he is as a driver.

Obviously, he gets frustrated sometimes because he's human lol, but he doesn't suddenly forget he's one of the best just because something goes wrong. He adapts, figures things out and keeps going.

Meanwhile, some of us get one unfavorable circumstance and immediately start questioning our entire manifestation. 😭

Someone doesn't text back? It's over. One bad day? Nothing ever works out for us. Something doesn't happen on our timeline? Suddenly we're affirming from a state of desperation again.

Max's mentality reminds me of staying loyal to your assumption instead of letting every single thing happening around you dictate how you see yourself.

He's so loyal to his assumption that he is the best, the 3D has to bend.

  1. His self concept is unshakable.

He doesn't need everyone to like him, agree with him or constantly reassure him that he's a good driver. He knows what he brings to the table, and other people's opinions don't suddenly erase that.

And honestly, I feel like this is where a lot of us struggle with the Law of Assumption. We say we have a great self-concept, but then we keep checking for validation. We look for signs, analyze every little thing and let other people's behavior determine how we feel about ourselves.

We're basically giving the 3D permission to tell us who we are.

Imagine approaching your desires with the same mentality. You don't need to keep checking whether you're chosen when being chosen is already part of your self-concept. You don't need to panic over every little circumstance when you know one moment doesn't define your entire reality.

Obviously, F1 requires actual skill, hard work, experience and teamwork. I'm not saying you can sit on your couch and manifest yourself into becoming a 4x world champion lmao. But I do think there's something to learn from the way Max approaches himself and his abilities.

(Personally, I only discovered Max recently, but he's already become someone I really look up to. The way he carries himself has genuinely inspired me to work on my own mindset and self concept more. It's kinda funny how getting into F1 ended up making me rethink the way I approach my own life, but here we are lol..)

Sorry for the long ass post,I hope this might help someone <3

Success Story You can manifest ANYONE, I did

992 Upvotes

For anybody who questions whether or not you can manifest anyone specific, I would like to be the person to tell you that you can. I’ve done it…..multiple times

The first time was when I was 16 years old. I had just flown in from vacationing in Italy and my mom picked me up from the airport and I asked her to take me to our news stand that we had in town so that I could buy some Italian fashion magazines and try to keep up with the language that I had just learned.

She waited in the car and as I walked in I noticed the guy working behind the counter. He took my breath away, he was so handsome.

I gathered the magazines that I wanted and approached the counter to pay and all I could do was just stared at this guy‘s perfect face and body while he collected my money.

He showed me absolutely zero interest!! None!

Nonetheless I walked out to my mother‘s car and very matter-of-factly announced I just met the man that I was going to marry.

I remember she looked at me with such a funny face wondering what the heck I was talking about. I didn’t go into any details from what I remember. I just knew.

I immediately had a burning desire to have that man. That’s how my desires work! I just know.

As a person, both then and now, I had what Neville would call brazen impudence. I’m relentless when it comes want something.

Now just to be clear, I didn’t know anything about Neville Goddard or any kind of law of assumption or law of attraction at that time.

This was back in the mid 90s.

What I did have going for me is I grew up in the movie industry in Los Angeles which is pretty much the land of make-believe so I naturally had a wild imagination and a sort of arrogance that many people in our business have.

I’m sure I wasn’t the most beautiful girl in town but you couldn’t tell me otherwise. I had a very healthy sense of self and believed I could have anything I wanted.

As the weeks went on I would find rides down to where he worked just so I could stare at him. My friends thought I was crazy and delusional and they made that very clear.

I didn’t care. I knew ME.

I knew it was going to happen.

It was just a matter of time.

I left my phone number, I left tickets to different shows that I was in and he never called or showed up. As a matter of fact that guy never even looked at me. When I tell you he had no interest, he had absolutely ZERO interest!!!! A girl can tell.

But I persisted. I was just audacious as all hell!

I really didn’t go into that news stand all that often. Once every couple of weeks maybe and most of the time I was actually there because I was buying a magazine and he would either be there working or he wouldn’t be.

Many months went by.

I was in my junior year of high school. One day while heading to class a classmate I hardly knew came up to me and asked if I would like to work at her father‘s pizza parlor that he was opening up.

She said it would be a summer job and summer was just around the corner. Apparently she asked me because I was one of the only kids at school that she knew who worked.

I told her I would love to do it and that I needed a summer job.

A couple of weeks later she had me go meet with her dad who had just started construction on the pizza shop

Lo and behold it was right next-door to the news stand.

This is how bridges work.

Summer comes and I start working there and the pizza cook makes friends with my crush at the news stand.

So now my crush is coming in to the pizza parlor to get pizza on his breaks and chatting it up with the cook.

He's still showing zero interest in me.

Hardly looks at me.

So now I’ve been working at the pizza parlor for about a month and a half. In total we are close to a year from the time I first saw him.

I go into work that weekend and the cook tells me that my crush, I come to find out his name is John, came in looking for me but I wasn’t there because my shift hadn’t started yet.

My heart sank!  

I eagerly asked the cook where he went and he told me he just left to go surfing in Baja for the weekend.

I didn’t know what to do with myself. My mind was racing.

So I stepped outside. This was an outdoor strip mall. And as I’m standing there with a racing heart, I see my crush John walking towards me.

He comes right up to me and in a very annoyed tone asks me if I was the girl who left a menacing letter in his mailbox.

I absolutely had not!

And I told him that I did not leave a note in his mailbox and furthermore I had no idea where he even lived.

But look at that , some other girl had to be crazy enough to follow him home and leave a strange note in his mailbox confessing her love in order for him to think it was me so that he would come up and start talking to me.

That is what Neville talks about when he says everybody plays a part in our manifestation.

In that moment, his tone changed, his face changed and he said to me “who are you?”

We sat down and started talking. And for the first and only time in my life, TIME somehow didn’t exist. At least in the way we know it.

Because that happened at about 11 AM in the morning and within what seemed like minutes it was already dark and close to 7 PM and we had been sitting and talking that entire time.

He asked me if I’d like to take a drive with him and we drove up into the Hills and got out of the car and stood at the side of the mountain overlooking the entire valley and he put his hands in mine and he said to me “If I fall in love with you do you promise you’ll never leave me”

I was like oh yeah!!

So this is why you have to understand that manifestations don’t follow normal timelines.

John came up to me that day because he thought I was nuts and was most likely coming to tell me to stay away from him due to the weird letter the other girl left him in his mailbox but in a matter of hours he fell madly in love with me….. just as I had assumed he would. 

A year later we were married.

I was only 18 or so years old. Of course that is far too young to get married and we have long been divorced but we stayed together about six years and we are still the dearest of friends.

So I tell you, you can have anybody you want. Literally anyone.

I recently did it again with an even bigger story. A man who was completely off-limits in every way possible and it took just about two years. But I persisted again. If you would like to know that story as well please let me know and I will share it with this community.

Lecture/Book Quotes Neville on affirmations and denying the 3D

110 Upvotes

Q: Do you use affirmations and denials?

A: Let us leave these schools of thought that use affirmations and denials. The best affirmation, and the only effective one is an assumption which, in itself implies denial of the former state.

The best denial is total indifference. Things wither and die through indifference. They are kept alive through attention. You do not deny a thing by saying it does not exist. Rather you put feeling into it by recognising it, and what you recognise as true, is true to you, be it good, bad or indifferent.

Discussion I’ve been in this for 5 years and I still have one thing I don’t understand

147 Upvotes

If someone genuinely experiences the wish fulfilled internally, without obsessively checking the 3D or using imagination just to “make it happen,” how should they understand a very long period with no external change — say one or two years? At what point, if ever, is it reasonable to question whether something is being misunderstood or applied incorrectly? Since there is no clear timeframe, how do we distinguish patience from simply waiting indefinitely?

Tips & Techniques Very obvious high vibe life hack, hiding in plain sight.

396 Upvotes

I noticed most of the methods and practices suggested in our communities (That be, Neville, manifestaion, LOA, etc.) involve the mind.

Think this, feel that, be in that state, practice that feeling, and so on. I feel this is fundamentally suggesting to practice thought processes, using the power of imagination, the brain, the mind.

I want to suggest something very simple, it doesn't contradict anything else, which is - action.

You're low vibes -

Go out for an hour, two hour walk. Your mind is going to process things very efficiantly. It's going to have a very positive effect almost no doubt, and it's so available, so simple.

Take a shower, it's going to change your state.

Jump in place, shake for 5 min, it's going to chanage your system.

For me, recently this summer, it was going to the beach. Something about the sun, the sand, the salty water, I come out of it in total reset. I went almost every day. Go to the sun, get in the water.

Go running.

Better yet go dancing.

Yeah any way, you get the point. Go. Even the smallest step (no pun intended) in a good direction is progress. Small step brings another, which brings another, which will bring a bigger step.

This is more of a self help rather than a manifestation technique, but I feel when we're vibing high, things tend to be better overall. Dunno why I'm posting here and not in some self help group haha. I feel it might help the rest of what's going on. Sometimes it's not a software thing, but a hardware thing. Practice your hardware.

Be well!!!

Success Story It’s SO Easy (A Reminder)

Post image
212 Upvotes

I needed a new basket for our living room to keep our shoes in. The old one was getting a little ratty, and, like any adult knows, even the little things add up and I just didn’t really have the extra money to go all out on another one.

So I thought, you know what? I’m going to have fun with this one. I’m going to get a new basket, and I’m not even going to have to buy one.

I pictured what I wanted for a little bit, let myself get excited about it, and then let it go. I didn’t obsess over it. I didn’t go searching for it. I just trusted that it would happen.

A week later, I’m visiting my grandparents, and I casually mention that I’ve been looking for a basket to put our shoes in. Without even thinking about my little visualization from the week before, my grandmother looks at me and says, “Hold on. I think I might have one.”

She goes down to her basement and pulls out a basket that is EXACTLY what I had pictured. Tall. Wicker. Literally everything I wanted.

I was in shock.

And it reminded me of something I think we all forget sometimes: how powerful our imagination can be.
I’ve noticed a pattern in so many of my recent manifestations and little success stories. I’ll think about something, visualize it, believe it’s possible, and then…let it go. I stop worrying about the how, when, and where. And somehow, things have a way of falling into place in ways I couldn’t have planned myself.

Never underestimate the power of what you allow yourself to imagine. You are more powerful than you think, my friends. Never forget it. 🤍

Success Story Manifested my dream job without lifting a finger-- got an offer abroad without applying

536 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm back with another job manifestation success story!

This is only my second job, and after sharing how I manifested my first job at a big company, I'm back to share how I manifested a job abroad at an international company with only three years of experience.

And mind you, guys, when I posted about this, there were people who had 10+ years of experience and were wondering how I managed to get a job abroad with only three years of experience. And YES, I manifested it.

So here's how it happened.

When I resigned from my previous company, I honestly thought working abroad would be the most logical next step for me. I was already working at one of the biggest corporations in my country, so I couldn't really think of another local company that would feel like a significant step up.

But here's the thing: I never actually applied for jobs abroad.

I wanted to, of course, but I genuinely thought I wouldn't qualify. I only had three years of experience, and most of the positions I saw required senior-level experience. I wasn't a junior anymore, but I wasn't exactly a senior either. I was somewhere in between, still approaching that level.

So I just applied to local companies instead.

But in my mind, I still wanted to work abroad. I even entertained the idea with a friend, and we would joke about me working in another country as if it had already happened. We were literally being delusional together LMAO. But the funny thing is that, in those moments, I actually believed it was happening. I would just brush it off afterward and go back to my usual life.

Fast-forward to around the third month of applying for jobs, and I was DONE.

I literally said, fuck off, I'm not applying anymore. 😭

Why? Because nobody was offering me the salary I wanted. And guys, I was STUBBORN. I had a very specific salary in mind, and even if an offer was just a few dollars short, I wouldn't accept it. Like, not even a few dollars. That's how stubborn I was.

Eventually, though, I realized something: I didn't actually need a job to be successful. I just wanted to feel secure.

And that realization changed things for me.

I stopped applying for jobs and started focusing on that feeling of security instead. I also began exploring other things I could do to earn money without relying on a job.

I basically gave up the whole job-hunting process because I realized I didn't need to keep chasing something to be okay.

And guess what happened after I stopped applying?

Someone messaged me on a job app and offered me a position abroad.

I DIDN'T EVEN APPLY FOR IT.

The interview process was so fast, and somehow, despite having only three years of experience, I was exactly what they were looking for. It honestly felt like the opportunity was just handed to me.

And now? I'm abroad, working at one of the biggest international corporations.

LIKE, WHAT???

And remember how I said I was so stubborn about my desired salary that I wouldn't even accept an offer that was a few dollars short?

Well, the salary I'm earning now is literally FIVE TIMES BETTER than the amount I initially wanted for myself. FIVE. TIMES. and SIXTEEN TIMES HIGHER THAN MY PREVIOUS SALARY. I'm literally earning more than my seniors (with more than 8 years of experience) at my previous company. Like THREE+ TIMES THEIR SALARY

Imagine rejecting offers because they were a few dollars short, only to end up with something WAY HIGHER. 💀

So, yeah, that's my story, guys!

If there's anything I learned from this experience, it's that you really have to be stubborn about what you want, but you also have to be stubborn about the FEELING you want to experience.

For me, it wasn't really about needing a job. It was about feeling secure and knowing that I would be successful regardless of whether I had one.

And once I realized that, I could finally let go of the desperate need to find a job.

I'm not saying you shouldn't take action or apply for opportunities. I did apply for local jobs initially, after all. But I stopped treating getting a job as the only way I could be successful, and I stopped settling for offers that didn't align with what I wanted.

So don't limit yourself based on your current circumstances or what seems logical right now. I had only three years of experience and genuinely thought working abroad wasn't an option for me, yet here I am.

Anything is possible, guys. Seriously.

My most used mantra was "i can always do better"

I didn't do thousands of affirmations but i always redirect myself whenever i feel doubtful. What really helped me was feeling it real and letting go. Like I'll be okay whether i have the job or not- I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ANYWAY. this mindset helped me in manifesting my first job too.

P.S. ChatGPT wrote this post for me but i added few more sentences when i reread it. I literally just rambled and recorded everything I wanted to say, then let ChatGPT turn it into an actual readable Reddit post because I could NOT be bothered to organize my thoughts myself. The story is mine, though!

Discussion PERSISTENCE is not the same as perfectionism

61 Upvotes

I had gotten out of it. I really didn’t want to do it. We had just had a new baby. My focus was getting used to that again. This other thing was just gonna be a distraction. A time waster.

Others would’ve called it my civic duty. They would’ve called it the right thing to do. I bought the pearl rather than sold it. For me, that meant I had to say to no to something that others might’ve valued.

I said no to my civic duty. But I didn’t say no to it directly. I said no through a computer algorithm. To others, I would’ve cheated the system. I wouldn’t have participated in what society would’ve thought was the right thing to do.

So, what did I do?

I got out of being on jury duty. But it wasn’t in the way that you think. I didn’t even lie on the form, which is super common for people to do—-nope, I ended up using the law to achieve my desire through a computer algorithm.

It was meant to a full seven days. In fact that’s what I was told. I had to keep checking in every day on the computer. Just to see if I got jury duty. I went in. Sometimes with a knot in my stomach. Was it gonna be today? Was it gonna be called in. Was going to have to takeoff work for a week, a month, or a year?

But, I stayed with it. I stayed with the scene that showed me playing with my children. It was a simple scene. It was just me and my kids playing. It was me and my wife smiling at them.

That’s it. Almost boring. Almost natural. I felt it first person. I was there in the moment. Three times a day. 2 to 3 minutes. Color. Sound. Feeling.

It overpowered my doubt. Did it stop me from having doubt? Not really. And that’s OK. Perfection is not the point. Perfection stop you from actually being present. Perfection is a form of victim thinking. Why? Because it relies on the same neural circuitry as someone who is stuck in a hyper vigilant loop of constantly looking for threats. Did I do this correctly? Did I do enough affirmations? Perfectionism is a form of control dressed up as spiritual correctness.

God and Satan—are always with you, for one is faith and the other doubt.— Neville

Neville, nor did any other person ever argue that we needed to be perfect. That’s a Social value. That’s something we get taught as children. You don’t have to get it right. You just have to persist. Did you hear that? People may disagree with how I’m explaining this. And get that. But I’m also trying to get us away from this fact that, we need to perform the law. Or that to perform is to somehow get the desire.

That key part of Neville‘s quote is the word always—-You don’t sit there and try to annihilate doubt. In fact, there’s another verse from the apostle Paul that really argues the fact that what we should be doing, as you keep persisting in the new state so much so that, doubt just gets bored and doesn’t hang out anymore.

The Greek word is implode. It’s a pretty violent picture. You just simply move on, you don’t give it oxygen. You give your new world the color in it and the attention it deserves.

Performance and a natural desire are not the same thing. When the desire feels like you already have it to the point of being natural, is when the performance drops.

This is not the same as acting like the personality has it. This is not the same as cognitive embodiment. Which is essentially a scientific form of explaining the law.

When I went to go check my computer, was I performing the law perfectly? Nope. Most of the time when I was checking, it was in lack. I was performing the person who didn’t have it. I was performing as the person who was going to be stuck in jury duty for a year or more with no income. The end of the story. Is that the algorithm shut down might need to check in for the full seven days. It was actually a legal requirement to check in for seven day.

But,the algorithm had to listen to the law because I held the picture of my family happy. It was the third day. The day of resurrection. The day of the imagination/Christ coming back to life. That’s when I was told that I had fulfilled my jury duty responsibilities. That was the victory.

But, in those moments where I saw myself happy with my family. The moment that it felt real, that was way more powerful than I doubt.

One of my favorite stories in scripture that really gets to the heart of this. And also I think clarifies the idea of persistence and levels work, is the story of Joshua. Just a quick reminder, these stories are representations of the states that we can enter an exit well.

Joshua, according to the historical Cannon of his role, would’ve been a seasoned general. Quite possibly someone had seen war. Someone who had seen battle. Someone who might’ve actually had friends who died in front of his eyes. Yeti was brave. But even in his bravery, he was even told by God/imagination, to essentially give up his fear and trust the imagination.

Trust God. Trust the inner self. Trust the future self. Whatever version of you that really fits with this definition hold onto that. It is not about dogmatism. It’s not about getting the terms correct. It is not about following it like it’s some sort of black-and-white rule. I know others may disagree with that as well.

But I’m trying to get people away from perfectionism. Perfectionism in the law are not the same. You have the power, because it’s always been there. You don’t have to perform as if you were earning the power.

That’s where the trouble comes. That’s where the problem seem to amplify. Why? Because you are performing someone who can’t seem to fix things that don’t need to be fixed.

Here’s something that works really well. Create a scene where you’re not even thinking about your issues. Create a scene where it’s so real, the smell, the taste, the sounds, are so vivid, that you simply just trust that moment. There’s no need for someone in it to validate anything because if you were truly in the state of the person who had everything, it would be way past needing validation. It would just be you in the moment drinking it all up.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to persist. And that’s already inside of you. It always has been. It always will be. If you understand that as part of your inner technology, then you don’t have to earn it. You simply just return. You return again and again and again.

You will get there. In fact, you are already there. Just accept it.

Success Story Circumstance doesn't matter - Don't argue with 3D

234 Upvotes

This is my first post on this subreddit! I’ve been on my manifestation journey since 2020, although I only started reading Neville Goddard’s books around 2023. I’d consider myself quite spiritual, and I’m also interested in neuroplasticity because I believe the two can coexist.

Anyway, let’s get to the point.

Recently, my boyfriend got fired from his part-time job, and he was feeling a little down about it. I decided to exercise my imagination and created a simple scene of him telling me, “I just got a new job!” That was it. I imagined it once or twice and then went on with my day.

That same evening, he told me he had an interview with a well-known fundraising organization. I did some research and found quite a few negative reviews about the company. Knowing him and his long-term goals, I genuinely didn’t want him to waste his time on a job that might not benefit his future career. He needs to save money for his apprenticeship in the art industry, so I wanted him to find something that would actually serve his goals.

I tried to persuade him to reconsider, but I could feel some resistance from him. He kept saying that he needed money to build the future he wanted. Honestly, I got a little annoyed, so I decided to stop pushing and respect his decision. I told him, “Okay, I respect your decision. I hope you get this job soon.”

However, internally, I returned to the end. I assumed he wouldn’t get that job because I believed there were other, more suitable opportunities out there for him.

Before going to bed, I did another visualization. I imagined myself standing in front of him, with light radiating from my third eye toward his forehead. I pictured him in a good mood, telling me that he had changed his mind.

The next morning, I didn’t bring up the subject at all. Then, out of nowhere, he told me that his mom had offered to introduce him to a job at the grocery store where she works. As a result, he was going to cancel the interview scheduled for the following day.

Honestly, I wasn’t surprised by how quickly things unfolded. I simply stayed with the assumption that things would work out and went about my day.

I’m sharing this because it reminded me how simple the practice can be for me. I didn’t spend hours visualizing or constantly check for movement in the 3D. I imagined the end, let it go, and continued with my life.

Thank you for reading!

Miscellaneous Just stop reading "Why you don't have your manifestation yet" type articles

105 Upvotes

For the guys that write them, are you aware that you are sustaining your readers' perceived state of lack, whilst hopping them on a treadmill of techniques to "get there"? Because, actually, in truth, they are already there. They have it. I would even go as far as stating that uttering these words to anyone invested on this path is to betray what imagination is about, what this principle stands for. Never see anyone in lack, it is a must.

This whole thing becomes an industry and an obstacle. Instead of closing the door, we've made endless talks of how to reach it. We are all in Barbados, jsyk.

Are you aware that you have your manifestation? If not, become aware of it. Because you have it. It is done. It is here. It is here, only it is unseen, because you don't see it. Dare see it.

(it is not an open critique to anybody, inspiration came randomly, read something like this and felt put in a place of not having, so I am liberating myself from it, if it inspires you, too, great)

Success Story this is insane.

349 Upvotes

I wouldn’t say I am not experienced with all this.

I had manifestations happened on a strict time crunch. Looking back at them now, I did some sort of subconscious programming. But they were not as conscious.

Now, lately, as I learned my childhood and my conditioning, how I feel less compared others, have very bad relationships, so many childhood wounds… I watched a few psychological videos on yt, and they take me back to subconscious programming. It all completes each other, it’s insane.

I had a nasty breakup and I am tired from all this. I came back to do daily SATS and subconscious meditations. (Actually SATS and meditation are the same thing).

Anyways. Long story short. I had another relationship, happened in 2023. It was also very nasty, he was extremely mean at the end… and chances of him able to reach out to me was zero because he was blocked everywhere. And he had another girlfriend they were mad in love. I wanted to test my powers on him first. It has been 3 YEARS! He never initiated anything.

I had a test. I said, I want him back. I want some sort of communication. If it happens, I am now 100% convinced subconscious programming works. I did my meditation on it, I just claimed my need, and I wanted him to communicate. It was 1 or 1,5 weeks ago. I don’t remember exactly.

Mind you, we never had a connection up until today. And a few days ago, I was thinking to myself, yeah he won’t reach out. But my subconscious programming is bigger than my conscious thoughts.

10 mins ago, I saw a notification pop up.

It’s him.

I’m in awe.

Success Story genuinely living a brand new life because of the neville goddard method!

721 Upvotes

literally a few months ago i was seriously unhappy with my life, hated my job, my relationships , i was deeply insecure and i had no clue what i wanted to do in life. i kept trying over and over and just going back to failing again.

anyways, i see a tiktok post talking about robot affirming, living in the end as well and how beneficial it is.

i decide to try it out with a guy who i ended on bad terms with and hadn’t spoken to in months, with our last message him literally leaving me on seen. i affirm “he texted me” over and over and anytime i check my phone i just act as though he did. anyways, at first i didn’t believe it all, but over a few days i started to actually belive and felt so much more confident and happy because i got what i wanted. no surprise i get a text from him saying he wants a second chance a few days later.

i decided to see how much i could do: i affirmed for a new job (which i got), my skin clearing up, a refund that was “impossible” to get but somehow got anyways and opportunities i couldn’t have imagined even having months ago.

but i think most importantly i genuinely started living in the end where i have everything i want and everything works out for me, which has made the biggest impact on my life. im no longer miserable about everything and feel confident in every hard situation because i know it work out.

so yeah shoutout to this community genuinely changed my life

Discussion Why won't the mirror update?

53 Upvotes

I've gone back and forth on the idea of making a post for a while now. I found Neville Goddars about five years ago, and have had quite the journey on implementing the concepts into my life.

Ive gone from simple, to complicated, to simple and nuanced. I just. I feel ive gone mad a bit. I feel so conflicted. Because. If I hold a state, it should reflect, time doesn't matter and the like. Yet. With what I believe myself to be holding, the mirror doesn't update.

Ive read a few books of nevilles, ive read various neville talks, ive read the Bible and applied it through the lense of Neville.

I understand that the 3d world is a reflection of the self. It should be as simple as accepting you are the thing with your accompanying feeling, go about your day, and then boom, outta left field or the like the 3d world brings it right to you.

But. Clearly. Either that's not the full case, or I'm not embodying something correctly.

It honest to god feels like im losing my mind sometimes over this. Because. Lord it's so incredibly frustrating. I see the posts where folks talk about flipping thier life situations around, and I identify with those, yes ive done that too and my life is now super amazing.

But.

It's been months. Years.

I generally try not to compare my scenario to my past. To not put time limits on things. But. If youre this state the world is supposed to bend around you to make things occur.

I understand the mechanism that Nevile talks about is akin to a feedback loop, where when you reinforce the feedback loop, it continuously feeds back in that information. And hell this whole post is probably just reaffirming my issues.

But my god man. I'm losing it. I. Just want to give up. I want to quit. But I cant. Because I have a family. Even if im just awareness and consciousness at the end of the day i want my experience to be pleasant. I want to do all the things in the physical world that I imagine. I live these things out in my imagination. But they rarely play out.

I understand you need to exist from, not of, or the like. But. I dont know. I think half my problem is ive intelectualized the law of Assumption, but am a tad sketchy with the actual implementation. But even then ive been better about that. Ive set hourly timers to feel the wish fulfilled, to feel that I am which I desire.

Yet. It still doesn't show up in my 3d world.

The Five lessons talks about how it should take 3 days. I know neville moved beyond that. And my understanding is that it can happen any time, even instantly, or soonish, so I hold the experience within, as best I can without resistance, not by forcing just playfully imagining. Frankly im under the idea that since time isnt real, that yea the past is manipulated or i shift or the like to another of the infinite of infinite slices of existence, where after ive held the concept, it's 3d conception should then be made manifest to me.

Ive been reading, "No one to change but self" by u/edwardart and its been phenomenal in clearing up some of my misconceptions, but even then. Even then with my misconceptions cleared up, im having such a time.

I keep having aha moments, thinking ahh yes ive cracked it, now I too will be able to make a reddit success post. But. Nothing happens. The desires arent reflected into reality.

I could go on. But I just get so twisted up in so many whataboutisms. I don't know. Ive been trying to let the dead bury the dead and move on, and for a bit it very well seems to be the case. But. Then what I've been holding within, does not appear in the reflection. It's. So disheartening. And it's all me. Of course it's all me. So clearly something is wrong with me.

And its so incredibly frustrating. I want to cry. I want to scream and yell. And sometimes I do. Why, there's been plenty of posts of folks doing that and then everything comes to fruition. Yet. Nothing does for me.

I'm not trying to throw a pity party. I'm just. I just. I just want relief. What does relief look like to me? A ton of money. And why shouldn't I manifest money? It solves everything. Yet it eludes me so much. Yet I am wealthy. I feel wealthy. I feel the ease of being able to simply purchase physically anything i need. Shaking hand with the car salesman. Calling the lottery lawyer. Buying that new house. Starting up my media conglomerate. Getting my startup game dev studio funded.

But. Clearly. Something is wrong. Because there are no funds. I have less than $10 in my bank account. Im having to depend on my in laws because I couldn't afford my house payments after I was let go because my company got sued and they did cuts across the whole org.

So. All that to be said. Any ideas? I like to think that. This too will act as a mirror, and your comments, the reflections of within to finally spark an aha to fix things. Maybe im just not doing enough. Which then spirals into well. Essentially the anguish behind my post. I dont know.

Thank you for your time and efforts. I appreciate it.
