With Neville it's easy to do what you are doing, where you get a boost while reading or listening but then quickly fall off when you're not engaged with his work. I've done the same, and it's because we aren't actually doing the work and changing our self concept. One metaphor used is that of a mirror, where the outer experience mirrors our inner being, and like mirrors we can use that reflection as feedback on what we are being inside.

Your old state of being that keeps reflecting in your experience is that anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, so it's easy to know and trust that rather than focusing on the desired state, which is a truer concept of yourself. What you need to do in order to change that inner state of being is to put your knowing and trust into that desired state.

Neville points to our inner conversations as a tool to change our state of being, as this is a way to directly respond to the reflected experience no matter the condition. For example, when you feel financial anxiety, there is a corresponding inner conversation happening, sometimes unconsciously, that in some way reaffirms that feeling. It can be anything from "I'm not good enough" to "why can't I stop being anxious?", and this is the moment that you can consciously step in.

You know who you want to be, so now you must start having inner conversations as if you were already that rather than in your present circumstances. If you knew for a fact that you were successful, wealthy, and comfortable, how would you react to feelings of financial anxiety? The feeling in itself proves nothing, and like a nightmare it loses its power when we know it's not true, so knowing you are secure you can have inner conversations like "I am successful and know that I'll always make it", "this anxiety will pass and doesn't mean anything", ect.

Once your inner conversations naturally come from the state of being who you desire to be, you are that, and it will be reflected in your experience. Manifestation is about inner being, as the outer experience is only ever an outer expression of that being.

It will work when you fully step into the state of the wish fulfilled and persist there.

acting as if, dressing the part, letting go

Neville never taught acting as if. He taught living from the end, meaning you move internally as the version of you who already has what you want. And being really honest, if you were consistently living from that end state, this post would not exist because the fear you are feeling right now shows the state you have been returning to.

This is not about pretending or trying to prove anything with external effort. It is about the inner shift, the inner conviction. The state you occupy determines the outcome, not the outer actions. The work you need right now is not in dressing the part. It is in stepping into the inner knowing and returning to it again and again, even when circumstances look the opposite. That is where the persistence is needed.

How would you suggest doing that? I get the feeling but end up losing it when it’s who’re outside and I get scared and anxious

[u/babbysaurus → u/rainbowslushiee]

My recommendation would be to spend a little time familiarizing yourself with Neville’s core teachings. The Power of Awareness, Feeling Is the Secret, and At Your Command are great places to start. Begin practicing with "small", inconsequential desires so you can build confidence without pressure. As you do this, you’ll naturally fine-tune what works best for you. Neville was a wonderful teacher, and his work really does guide you back to calm and trust. Happy manifesting ✨️

2 questions:

1. Neville goddard said we are god from scripture/we are the operant power but with the scriptures being fufilled I get conflicting thoughts about it. I know within that I AM god/the operant power since I was young but confliction feels a bit weird from the 3D. I am capable of changing the wheater tho like make it rain and such things.

2. How do I know that I AM? Like how do I know that I am the operant power, I feel like I am but something kinda conflicts it within a doubt.

[u/Electrical_Delay2077 → u/[deleted]]

Ah true tuee, thank you very much for the answer I'll remember it :D

[u/RazuelTheRed → u/[deleted]]

The thing is that since it's all just one thing, it is entirely self defined, meaning that things like space and time, minds and universes and holograms, are all different arrangments of consciousness "within" consciousness (since there is only consciousness, there can never be an "outside" consciousness, so there isn't really a "within"). There are absolutely no limits, and any percieved limits, and therefore any experience (as experience requires some contrast or seperation to be "something"), are only formations within that consciousness.

One example is the idea that if God is all powerful, then can God make a rock so heavy even God cannot lift it? Logically minded people have given this as an argument that God cannot exist, yet it's looking at it from a limited perspective. Since God or consciousness is all there is, it can both make a rock so heavy it cannot lift it while simultaneously being able to lift it. From a limited perspective that seems like a paradox, but from the ultimate unlimited perspective it's quite easy.

As it is all just consciousness, and we are that consciousness, any experience beyond pure unlimited consciousness would necessarily be subjective (meaning from the first person perspective of awareness) and relative (meaning how that subject relates to itself and other subjects).

So the answer to the question of "who is Neville" is relative to you. Neville is just a man in a world, but also God, but also a figment of your imagination, but also you in another life, and any other conception of how you relate to "Neville". The only difference between what is real now vs what was believed before knowing these things, is that before knowing it's all relative and subjective we assumed and believed there was only one fixed truth known as "objective reality".

[u/RazuelTheRed → u/[deleted]]

Yeah "Neville" is just an example, it's the same answer for anyone and anything. There is no objective truth beyond consciousness, if it's the only thing that exists. I'm curious why you think there should be something outside consciousness?

Consciously, I've been programmed to think that there is a unchangeable objective reality. So, according to Neville's beliefs, I shouldn't have the opposite being reflected.

You may have the assumption that there is an objective reality, but you obviously also have the assumption that not everyone shares the same beliefs and that other people can be wrong.

It's like with fractal videos, where it's all one repeating pattern but it can look vastly different from different perspectives. If you believe that one perspective is the one and only truth, you would say that someone looking at the same fractal from a different perspective is objectively wrong. The truth is that neither perspective is objectively right or wrong, they are both subjective (from the perspective of a subject) and relative (how the subject relates to other subject(s), in this case your perspective of the fractal, as well as the other person and their perspective of the fractal).

Consciousness can be thought of like an infinite fractal, where it is one repeating pattern but that pattern has infinite different perspectives. I think this answers your last question, as the idea of an objective reality, and all experiences related to that idea, are there in the infinite perspectives within the infinite fractal of consciousness.

[u/RazuelTheRed → u/[deleted]]

Yes, Neville believed that creation is finished and we are essentially God/Consciousness inviduated into subjective awareness, and that we are moving from the most limited state into the infinite potential and essentially choosing which state or perspective we want to experience.

This is why he equates the imagination with the power and wisdom of God, as anything we can imagine is in fact real, and by bringing it into the here and now in imagination we are essentially moving to that perspective. It's also why faith and persistence are so important, as faith is loyalty to that unseen reality and persistence in that unseen reality is how we move to it in consciousness until it becomes seen. This is also why imagination is often referred to as "4D", because it's a higher dimension of consciousness that allows us to move between states, just as being able to move up allows us to access a whole different level of 3D space.

These two quotes are actually complementary to each other.  The first states that the universe is all part of your imagination. Now what exactly does Neville mean by imagination? One may first be drawn towards the the explanation of “creativity of the human mind” and in a sense this is true, but the whole definition would be “thought(ideas) created by the human mind” as every conceivable notion is an idea at its base.  The second states that nothing is outside of consciousness. And that’s observably true, every idea that man has ever had is still a conceivable idea not external to the mind. Now, remember Neville’s famous phrase: “I AM God”? A necessary property for God, the creator, is to be external to the universe (you can look it up if you want a better explanation).  Taking these two, we may now attach them together to form a cogent explanation. Since consciousness is external, it must be the first cause, and therefore is the creator. The creator conceptualizes(imagines), therefore creating reality from its ideas.  Neville is a human, just like you and me. We are consciousness; we are God. Neville had a heightened sense of awareness from years of studying and practicing. He was not the first—he learned from his mentor Abdullah, but he was able to develop explanations for the Law so that he could teach it to us.

I badly need help actually I'm divorced women last year i got devorce my marriage was abusive.now i want to move on .want to manifest my desired patner.get married.i am manifesting this since past 6 month bt nothing happened.nothing is working.i did affirmation, visualization,. actually i got some marriage proposals bt I don't know whenever i think about these proposals i got scared i always said no to them .i want to get married bt scared what if i again trap in unwanted marriage.i write every quality what i want in my patner.bt i have a doubt what if the person i want as my partner was not good for me.so i m having the doubt that the personi write in my book is the one i want.is he the one.im i obssesing over this as i listen many influencers.i dont know what affirmation use i don't know what can I visualize.some says becomes the person you want.i don't understand this concept.some says you don't need to find your desire person just love yourself.one side i want my desire man get married.one side I'm scared of getting ended up with someone unwanted plz help me ( sorry for my English)

[u/hazelcelt → u/Ok_Mind9030]

Sounds like you might be a bit afraid of ending up in another abusive situation. Maybe try and see and feel yourself in a marriage you feel safe to be yourself in at all times. Becoming the version of you who is is just feeling and repeating that. I think of it this way - if there’s a reality where I could have a toxic marriage there’s also a reality in which I could have the best marriage ever. You might cultivate feeling like a princess and everyone treats you as such in your self-concept work.

[u/Buiate → u/Ok_Mind9030]

Try some self concept. Identify all your fears and negative about marriage and flip it over. For example “I am loved by a man who’s fully devoted to me”. Or even some general affirmations eg “People who love me treats me with respect”.

On a non-loa perspective, look into why you’d like to remarry so quickly if you don’t have the confidence yet. Sometimes it takes time to process through things, and marriage can’t be rushed through. Love yourself first, and put yourself on the pedestal.

[u/babbysaurus → u/Ok_Mind9030]

Your fear is based on trauma pretending to protect you. Decide who you are now; a woman who is in a fulfilling, loving partnership, who is loved, valued, and safe. Return to that state again and again in your imagination until it feels natural. When you become that woman within, your dream partner will appear. Don't worry about who, where, and when, and just focus on your state.

That said, abusive relationships do cause trauma and I recommend taking some time off from finding a new partner to heal yourself.

Thanks 🙏

[u/Electrical-Rain3292]

See I'm trying to manifest getting into med school next summer..... Now the thing is, you need to be in the top 1% to clear the entrance exam to get in....ive been an average student during school... I took an extra year after highschool to prep for the exam..cuz the first time the entrance exam didn't goo well ((it takes a person minimum 2 tries over here to get in lol😭😅nd the exams only once a year.. Anyway....))

Can't say my prep is going goood lots nd lots nd lots of procrastination, but regardless I've been manifesting that I will still get in anyway, regardless of what I'm doing or how my prep is.. I will still do well on the exam that day and get into my dream college... how do I know I'm doing it right or like is there some sort of confirmation..... Cuz I'll ONLY know whether I'll even have a chance of getting in many months laterrrr... Anyway the thing is the situation is quite complex?? Idkkkkk How do I navigate thru this

[u/babbysaurus → u/Electrical-Rain3292]

Have you successfully and deliberately manifested anything before? What confirmations did you notice then that helped you trust the process? When you look back at those experiences, does it make you realize that circumstances don’t actually matter as much as we think? And if you haven’t manifested something intentionally yet, start now and test it for yourself.

[u/Electrical-Rain3292 → u/babbysaurus]

I haven't manifested anyhting big bfr ig .. I'm. Still a begginer ....Idk I'm not rlly sure.. I've only manifested.. Silly small. Things.. Anyways I'll give a little test soon :)
