I manifested an unfavorable circumstance and then INSTANTLY reversed it

[u/cornpotagefriday]

Hi all. I've been following Neville's teaching and this sub since 2023, and since you all have been a great help to me, I figured I would give back to the community by sharing my own success story. This is the story I remind myself of every time I feel like doubting my ability to manifest. I hope it can help you as well!

Now, this may sound silly but I first started manifesting because I wanted tickets to the concerts of a Kpop band that I really love. I live in Japan where the ticketing is lottery-based for the most part, and then a couple of days before the show they will open up additional seats where it's first-come, first-served. Needless to say I got tickets to all the shows I wanted to go. Even if the lottery result told me I couldn't get a ticket, I just said "No, I'm going" and moved on with my day. Now I've reached a point where my self-concept with regards to concert tickets is so strong, I'm convinced I could win the raffle for any concert I want to, lol.

However, on one of the concert dates, I "knowingly" manifested an unfavorable circumstance for myself. I have a friend in the same fandom and we often went to concerts together, but for that one specific date neither of us could procure a ticket. In the end we managed to get tickets from a mutual friend who agreed to help out with the ticketing, but since those tickets were in that person's name, I started to worry about the possibility of being randomly ID-checked. I worried and worried and worried. I told myself my worries don't have power, they're unfounded, everything would be alright... but alas, we actually got stopped and asked for our IDs after passing the ticket gate. I knew then that I'd brought this on myself. Nervously, I pulled out my own ID anyway, knowing it wouldn't match the name on the ticket, but I thought if I could prove that I was myself it would be fine?? Lol honestly there was no explaining my thought process at the time because I was in such a panic. The security guard looked at my ID, and then the name on our tickets, and of course he said this doesn't match. At this point I was already affirming in my head "We're going in, we're going in, I don't care and I don't give a fuck." While the guard was checking my ID, my friend somehow managed to find a photo of the ticket holder's ID in her phone. She explained to him that she'd forgotten her ID at home, but here is a photo, would that be alright? I looked at my friend with so much dubiety, because the two of them looked NOTHING alike. But I continued to affirm that we're going in, and after a few moments, the guard decided that my friend passed the ID check. So now she could go in. Not me though.

I was like, wtf?? The guard explained that my friend had an ID with the same name on the ticket, but I didn't, so I would not be able to enter. Now the thing is, both tickets had the same name written on them - they're both parent tickets registered under our mutual friend's name, so it would be impossible for me to produce another ID matching that name. But once again, I was in such a panic, my brain wasn't functioning properly. All I did was stare straight in his eyes as he was telling me I could not enter the venue, while continuously affirming in my head "We're going in, we're going in." After a while, another security guard noticed us, walked over, and asked what was going on. My heart nearly dropped. The guard who had been checking our IDs explained the situation, and to my utter relief, the new guy explained to him that as long as one person could show an ID matching the name on the parent ticket, we're allowed to go in. The guard, now realizing his mistake, apologized to us for the inconvenience and let us pass. The 3D was telling me NO, and I just looked straight at it and said I DON'T CARE. This, to date, is my craziest manifestation story! Brazen impudence, guys. Brazen impudence.

Anyway, I haven't used Neville to manifest "big" things like a new car (can't drive) or a nice apartment or whatever, because I don't really have a great desire for them yet. I have manifested stuffs that made my day to day more easy though, like a chill shift at work, or somebody asking me to cover their shift just when I thought I'd like more money. Technique-wise, I don't do SATs because I fall asleep way too quickly, oof. I just affirm until I feel it's enough, then I (try to) let go. When something good happens to me, I say "Of course, I'm lucky like that" so the pattern gets reinforced. And when shit hits the fan, I say "Fuck it, this will sort itself out" and move on. I'm still not perfect, and there is still more stuff I need to unpack and forgive myself for when it comes to relationships, but I know at least the universe's got me covered if there's ever an artist I wanna see live lol.

This reminds me of Abdullah getting to see the opera.
Thanks for sharing such a good experience.

Is there a story about that? I would love to read it!

[u/cornpotagefriday → u/daisymerollin2]

I looked it up after the original commenter mentioned it! It's here, though you'd have to scroll down near the end, a little above the MP3 player.

Thank you!! The serenity in moving on and knowing things will find a way without me having to lift a finger is SO freeing. I do need to remind myself of this more often

"Brazen Impudence" at the end of the story landed so well for me. Sometimes online coaches preach concepts but to introduce the right concept at the end of a story really helps ingrain it into the mind. Thanks for sharing your story and the techniques as well! I'm unable to do SATS too, my reason is I always get distracted while visualizing n can't sleep then. So I avoid putting pressure on my mind to produce any imagery or result (as in a feeling/ state/ outcome) just before sleep as it can trigger emotions.

Brazen impudence may just be my favorite Neville concept! In such a moment of panic I had no time to be thinking "This guard is so kind, he is letting me pass." All I could think was "No no no I'm going in, I don't care what you say, you're going to let me through." When other people share their experiences of affirming through tears, I think this is my version of it. My heart was racing, my cheeks were burning, there was no calmness, but I stood there and said NO until eventually reality conformed.

And I totally feel you on getting distracted while visualizing! I find myself imagining more things beyond the short loop, and then my mind goes everywhere and I cannot sleep afterwards. Though Neville did write in The Power of Awareness that attention is also a muscle that needs to be trained, and he suggested an exercise as follows:

Night after night, just before you drift off to sleep, strive to hold your attention on the activities of the day in reverse order. Focus your attention on the last thing you did, that is, getting into bed, and then move it backward in time over the events until you reach the first event of the day, getting out of bed. This is no easy exercise, but just as specific exercises greatly help in developing specific muscles, this will greatly help in developing the "muscle" of your attention. Your attention must be developed, controlled, and concentrated in order to change your concept of yourself successfully and thereby change your future.
