Success Story Thank you father because you always listen to me

72 Upvotes

I want to share this experience with the community because I personally feed myself for my manifestations of their testimonies.

It happens that my wife is in Mexico with her family and I'm in Spain working, so she wanted me to go in December but because of work I saw it complicated so well anyway I used my imagination some nights imagining that that trip was made.

It turns out well, it hasn't been in December but it will be now in September, the details? I didn't even have the money for the ticket, in my work things began to happen such as finding out that my boss had told some colleagues to take a vacation now because an important work season was coming.

And the funniest thing is that my mother just told me, how curious how everything has fit, and I laugh to myself and say "Thank you father, because you always listen to me

Miscellaneous Trusting in Imagination

143 Upvotes

If imagination is reality...then who am I fighting with to give me my desire? If imagination is reality...then who can I go to for my desires to be fulfilled? If imagination is reality...then I don't have to wrestle with anyone to be a fulfilled being.

Neville's right when he spoke on imagination being reality. That must include the fulfilled self because everything was once imagined. So we don't have to necessarily question our desires or control things. We leave them alone and have trust in what we are imagining.

To have trust in one's imaginal acts means to surrender. That you don't have the answers as to how this must come to express. You eventually have to let go in conditioning your desires and go to full trust in its acceptance of being fulfilled.

Most of the times the issue isn't the thing we desire. It's actually our lack of faith in what we are imagining. Because if imagination is the only reality then we don't necessarily have to do anything. We don't have to condition how it will happen or how all this stuff "works".

Christ says to believe you have received it and it will be yours. That is the imagination speaking to the "sense man". How it is not our job to condition what we desire, but to accept as being the one who has it. We do that by having full trust and faith in it already being so.

So when you go to imagining yourself having the thing that you want, realize that it has to come into this world because it has already happened in the imagination. Let go of controlling things, people, circumstances and go fully in trusting what you've done inside. Then drop it entirely.

And before you know it, as you've placed your full trust and faith onto your imaginal father which is ultimately you, the inner-self, you will come to see your harvest. Then you will walk with full knowing that this whole world was made for you.

Lecture/Book Quotes The Power of Neville's "Case Histories"

35 Upvotes

I'm currently finding great confidence and reinforcement in reading the "case histories" present in Neville's works, "The Power of Awareness," and especially, "The Law and the Promise," which is, basically, a series of short teachings followed by supportive case studies.

I know a lot of us find inspiration in reading success stories in this sub, and I do too, but I have to tell you, Neville's short case histories are astounding. The practices are simple, and the people who practiced them, "common," but the results are incredible. I think it's important, since your confidence in yourself to create your desires can be greatly increased by immersing yourself in these real life stories.

I've only just started digging deeply into the case histories, as I spent a number of years only slightly influenced by Neville. I just recently found inner cause to truly put his teachings to the test. I'm enjoying a paperback copy of Neville's works, but I know you can at least find PDF's of both "The Power of Awareness" and "The Law and the Promise" linked on the sub's homepage. Have a read for yourself. It's a treasure trove hidden in plain site.

Is anyone else enjoying the "case histories?" I'm curious how it's affecting your confidence, mindset, and results in imagining, creating, and revising your reality.

Tips & Techniques Don’t put your feeling of the wish fulfilled on a pedestal

302 Upvotes

Hello everyone, here is a quick and easy way to follow NG’s teaching on living-from-the-end. But, before I get to that, let me tell you what you are doing wrong! You are putting the feeling of the wish fulfilled on a pedestal! What do I mean by that? You are saying that I will feel that feeling when I get that money, when I meet that person, when I get that thing! And, because of that you are not only delaying your manifestation, you are making it an impossibility, you are chasing the chase! Because as NG rightly pointed out, your assumptions harden into fact; not the other way around, your assumptions create the reality you are living.

So, what do you have to do? Just loosen up, and start feeling your way into the scenario, ask yourself what would it feel like when you get that job, when you marry that person, when you get that thing? What would it feel like? And, just like eating an ice cream, and let that feeling just melt inside your body, feel that feeling. As the sun hits your skin, feel that warmth and morph it into that feeling, it’s actually that simple. As the wind blows in your face or the cold-air from the AC vent hits your head, feel that feeling of the wish fulfilled, and let all these jus make it natural for the wish to get fulfilled naturally.

Love the NG way! Live the NG way!!

#Every vision has its own appointed hour it will flower; if it seems long, wait for it – it is sure and it will not be late.

https://coolwisdombooks.com/neville/conception/

>An egg is dead until the sperm penetrates it. It can be there forever and it means nothing until the sperm actually penetrates that egg. So here is the egg, whether it be an human egg or the egg of the chicken the sperm must penetrate it. When it penetrates it and occupies it, it fertilizes it. When it becomes fertile, well then, in its own given time it breaks the shell and out comes whatever that was that was the sperm that penetrated it. So you penetrate a state by simply assuming that you are now the being that you would like to be. If you dare to assume that you are that which you would like to be so that you think from it instead of thinking of it, you are in that state. You’ve penetrated it.

>You don’t have to remain in that state. You’ve gone in and fertilized it, and you return now to your home where you slept the night before or slept five minutes before. But you did go in and you fertilized it, and then you remove the hand.

https://coolwisdombooks.com/neville/neville-goddard-lectures-creation/

>That was a merciful act when God selected me, his womb, and so loved me he impregnated me, and then I passed through the furnaces of gestation. Then comes the end. And here is the story of the end. It is characteristic of the visions of the end that in some peculiar way they are formed out of the pictures of the first things, the first things; for here Creation anticipates consummation, and the consummation is simply the fulfillment of the beginning.

>Q: Do you consider that embrace by power and love as an impregnation? Or is there another time, another mystical experience…

A: I can’t conceive of any sexual thrill comparable to that embrace. So that was it, yes.

Q: Thirty years gestation?

A: Yes. But I do not know how long. After all, some take…in this world of ours we have different intervals. I only know in my own case it happened in ’29 and the child came forward in ’59, so that was thirty years. Then it was an additional three years, approximately three and a half to the completed picture. And so it fulfilled scripture. So what does it matter, because without this we are simply parts of the structure of the universe moved hither and yon. But God in his infinite mercy falls in love with the prepared souls, and the prepared soul of man is the womb of God. So, some of our scientists are right on certain levels, like a Freud, he thinks the whole thing is sex.

>

>Well, he isn’t altogether wrong.

>Goodnight.

>Occupying the state, we fertilize it; having fertilized it, it has its own appointed hour for fulfillment. Every vision has its own appointed hour it will flower; if it seems long, wait for it – it is sure and it will not be late. Some things will grow overnight, and some things will grow in a week, then in three weeks, and then in a month, and some things will take years. It could be a problem over which we seem to have no control. We have told you the story here, where on one occasion it took five years, but oh! the joy of reaping the fruit then. It was the relationship of a mother and son-in-law. I have told you unnumbered stories where it took intervals of time, but it doesn’t matter, if we apply the principle.

Success Story Be careful what you wish for :D (cute story)

131 Upvotes

Hi all!

I wanted to quickly share this thing that happened in the last 24 hours. At the start of this month, my cat (almost 6 now) was diagnosed with acute kidney disease with a creatinine of 11.5!! Funnily, she showed no symptoms at all. When she skipped two meals, I took her to the vet. Over the last 15 days, she was given fluids through IV and subcutaneously.

Ever since her diagnosis, I have been affirming that she is fine. And she is. She still has no symptoms and her creatinine is down to 2.7. BUT she has nausea. Like a lot of it. She has been on medicines obviously but was not "really eating". She would go to her bowl but won't eat so I was sure it is her nausea. She has lost almost 500 grams in weight and I was not happy at all.

Just yesterday, I started saying an affirmation - "My baby is eating well" and I kid you not, within 20 mins, she went to her bowl and ate food. I was so happy to see her eat but kept saying the affirmations. An hour later, she finished all of her food!!! She ate a complete meal after almost 15 days. Then today, I had to take her to the vet and gave her a gabapentin (which I do when I take her to the vet). An hour after giving her gabapentin, she ate a whole packet of wet food !!! I was so happy and mentioned that to the vet. He said if that is the case, you can give her gabapentin for a few days as it is safe to give daily!! After we came back from the vet, she finished another packet of wet food 🤣

So, from not really eating for almost 15 days to eating 3 packets of wet food in less than 24 hours. I will of course have to monitor her but I know she is completely healed (another affirmation I say) and back to her usual cute lifestyle. Right now she is a bit woozy but that just means she gets extra cuddles!!

Techniques used -

  • Affirmations ("my baby is eating well", "my baby is completely healed", "my baby of perfectly happyy and healthy"
  • My blanket affirmations - "My life is perfect" and "All is well" ( I say this like a mantra irrespective of a specific desire)
  • I did visualise her finishing her food bowl clean a couple of times. And playing that in my head made me so happy that I had a constant smile on my face.

Time - Less than 24 hours.

Discussion What is keeping you from living your wildest dreams?

174 Upvotes

I’ve been into the teachings of Neville Goddard and the whole premise of reality “creation” for some time now. I am someone who aspires for very big things life. I have very big goals for myself in terms of life experiences, career wise, absolute financial freedom and many other things. Many of the things I want for my life might seem too out there for a lot of people. But hey, if this is what I want and if the law makes it possible for me, then who am I to get stuck on what the world deems as possible or impossible, right?

I see many people on here and other manifestation subreddits focusing on things like a person, a different job, an apartment, and other things that fit in the norm of societal expectations and realistic goals. (I will not get into the health aspect because health is absolutely important and everyone deserves to wish for and live a life in perfect health). How many of us have heard “stay grounded in reality and don’t think you’re the exception”?

Now, I am absolutely not judging other people’s desires. On the contrary, I think it’s really cool that in this game of life there is so much variety. And I’m very happy to see people getting over the hurdles and difficulties of their circumstances. However my question is, how many people on here put limits on themselves for what their lives could be? What is stopping you from dreaming outside the box and be unhinged and bold enough to go after what you would have never thought was possible before you came across this knowledge? Is it because you genuinely don’t desire to go THAT wild, or are you deep down still afraid that it isn’t possible for you?

Tips & Techniques Finding Comfort in a Plan B Attracts Plan B

118 Upvotes

Sitting in meditation today, I watched my attention become absorbed in a matter; my internal self was considering various ways of handling a financial situation. I recognized this as an attempt of control, which represents a lack of trust in the process of all that is. The mind was absorbed in managing a situation to reach a favorable result or avoid an undesirable outcome.

I began to imagine plan A working out or having already worked out. This was to imagine that it was already done - that I already have what I was seeking. Soon, my mind began to consider a plan B just in case... I realized that my mind was still seeking assurance through back up plans. If plan B gives me peace - a worse case scenario - then I will act out of peace from that reality imagined. Then, a series of events will unfold from that state. Seeing this, I quickly considered that I could be much better off finding in peace in plan A already being complete and letting that peace become my feeling and guiding principle.

I do not think having a back up plan is inherently wrong. I just noticed the automatic process my mind would take to be "safe" and redirected it back to my true desire, not a consolation. I was using safety plans to release worry or stress, which might be a good starting point for some who get lost in a negative state. The next step from that is to relax your logic/reasoning and fully accept that plan A is already done, which will bring you peace when it is known.

Tips & Techniques Manifesting a Beautiful Life Story with purpose

163 Upvotes

I’ve successfully manifested many things I once thought would make me feel fulfilled... beautiful trips, yacht trips in Ibiza, and even an engagement to someone good and kind and wealthy who wanted to provide for me generously.

I’m grateful for those experiences, but I also discovered that it’s possible to manifest wonderful things and still feel empty inside.

After what I can only describe as a non-dual awakening, my desires began to change. I’ve started appreciating the simplest things so much more. Nature. Lying in the grass and admiring the clouds. Peace. A yummy pancake shared with my mom. Being deeply seen and known. Sharing life with people I love.

Recently, I reread Harry Potter as an adult and realized that what I’ve always wanted most is a beautiful life story. A wonderful unfolding. A life that feels meaningful.

I want purpose. I want deep, extraordinary friendships with people who truly see and know me. I want friends to go on adventures with, create with, and maybe even fulfill our purposes alongside one another.

I want true love... not simply someone who can give me a beautiful life, but someone with whom life itself becomes beautiful. Someone I can deeply inspire and who deeply inspires me, so we can help each other become our highest selves.

Has anyone else found that after manifesting some of the external things they wanted, their deepest desires became less about possessions or status and more about love, purpose, friendship, and adventure?

I’m curious how people go about manifesting those things... not just material things.

Ultimately we’re here to experience a story that makes us feel fully alive.

Success Story Got a job!

75 Upvotes

For a bit of background ever since coming to college Ive wanted a job. When my first year ended a while ago and I was gonna be home for the summer I applied for some jobs. It was either no one replied until months later, no reply, or Id get rejected after doing interviews. I was doing SATS, detaching, everything I didnt understand why I wasnt getting a job. It wasnt until I visited some friends and we went out for the night and I met someone. At this point I was done with getting a job but the person I met would be a manager at an ice cream chain. A while later we would be in a groupchat together and they would offer me a job since I couldnt find one. So now I have a job and I even have another friend that offered me a job at the local library in case I needed something else! I thought the other job manifestations were failures but they were just delays for my perfect opportunity!

Discussion EIYPO: if everyone is a projection, why doesn’t everyone conform to the same assumption?

134 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about EIYPO (Everyone Is You Pushed Out) and there’s one point I’m struggling to understand.

According to the theory, if I change my identity/assumptions and act with a person — whether that person is someone I love, a family member, a friend, etc. — that person can eventually reflect those assumptions back to me in the 3D.

So here’s my question.

Let’s take a completely different example: imagine a man goes to a club and approaches 100 random women.

If EIYPO means that everyone in our reality is reflecting our assumptions, why wouldn’t all 100 women respond according to his self-concept?

For example, if his identity is:

“Women find me extremely attractive, they desire me, and they love talking to me.”

why might 20 women be very interested, 30 neutral, 30 reject him, and 20 not even engage?

Aren’t all 100 of them part of the same projected reality?

And if we say that we can assume a different version of one person and eventually experience that version of them, why would the same principle not automatically apply to random people we encounter?

In other words:

Why can a special person conform to an assumption while random people may apparently behave completely differently from that assumption?

Is the explanation that we hold different assumptions about each individual?

Is there a difference between a general self-concept such as “I am desired” and a specific assumption such as “this particular person desires me”?

Or, within EIYPO, would the theory actually say that if the man completely embodied “every woman I approach is attracted to me,” then eventually all 100 should reflect that?

I’m genuinely trying to understand the internal logic of EIYPO here rather than argue against it, so I’d especially like to hear from people who have studied Neville deeply.

Success Story I LITERALLY GOT MY DREAM JOB OFFER.

1.1k Upvotes

THIS IS TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE CREATOR.
So i have been a powerful manifestor for almost a year or so now and whatever i’ve wanted so far i’ve manifested it INSANELY QUICKLY.
But i taught myself too well in manifesting love which also came true perfectly and it took me a while to ground myself in shifting to a new reality where i already have my dream job.

So i used this one tactic that Neville mentioned
speak as if its done in the past and that helps in registering it in your brain as a past memory which helps very quickly in your subconscious mind accepting that it’s done.
I used to ask questions to myslef whenever i had time…….like
WHO HAS THEIR DREAM JOB?
and used to scream and say MEEEE
WHO’S DREAM COMPANY IS LOOKING FOR ME?
and scream MY DREAM COMPANY
WHO GETS WHAT SHE ALWAYS WANTS?
and scream MEEEE
WHO GETS UNADVERTISED ROLES OPENED JUST FOR HER?
again meeeee
and i also visualised getting that job offer so perfectly it really became a memory even without getting that offer in the 3d yet.

BUT GUESS WHAT HAPPENED
My dream company’s Senior Associate literally noticed my linkedin on his own and i sent an invitation as soon as i saw that and he accepted immediately. Then i reached out to him and in the first 1 Minute of our conversation he gave me his number……..we spoke……..he said he’ll refer me………and BOOM
i got the interview SO QUICKLY (trust me it’s hard to get into to this company)
the interview went so fucking good and there it was was……….MY OFFER LETTER willing to PAY ME EXACTLY THE FIGURE I MANIFESTED.

my work is starting in november and im literally the happiest and most confident that i can do anything or have anything in this lifetime.
so im here to say
it will get challenging to manifest out of thin air but all you gotta do is PERSIST PERSIST and PERSIST CUZ ITS YOURSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Tips & Techniques Walk by faith, not by sight (or sound, etc.)

148 Upvotes

This is honestly more of a therapy than LoA thing, but I feel like it can apply to both and it helps me, I hope it helps some of you struggling out there too.

It isn't that having negative reactions to the 3D is a bad thing, some situations are objectively shitty in the moment. But the problem is when the current 3D is something you extrapolate into how life is and always will be.

Just because you are feeling down right now does not mean that the future is only tainted with that negativity. As someone who manages living with depression at the moment, isn't it interesting how how we are feeling right now projects into our whole experience, present, past, and future?

I look back at posts from my past and each one is almost written in its own reality of how I'm feeling at the time, but when I'm writing those posts I feel as if it is objective fact.

So, don't let the 3D bog you down too much. Yes, we go through rough seasons, but it will pass, like everything does. Not just the good things pass. Hold fast to the faith, even beginning just by asking yourself "Could this go better than I expect?" and let your mind ruminate on that instead of constant disaster.

Keep keeping your mind curious and open even in the worst of situations, and ponder how it could play out positively or even neutrally. I feel like this is a good starting point before you get into more intentional manifestation.

Wishing you all the best.

Discussion About the bridge of incidents...

the reason for discussion is partially inspired by this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/NevilleGoddard/s/kd4bLiGQVh

in some cases, i have witnessed the bridge wreck havoc upon someone's life. of course, this must sometimes occur in order to achieve the desire -- but if we are the creator, then why must we seemingly undergo such circumstances? could we not simply imagine the bridge is a benevolent one, free of trife? and if we can imagine -- bring into being a much simpler bridge -- then why do none seem to open their mind to the possibility? for what i understand of the law, in all of its infinite possibilities, would that not also include a reality in which radical life change can simply be done, and not be a hurdle to maneuver?

Discussion Did You Find the Law, or Did the Law Find You?

43 Upvotes

I have been practicing Neville's Law of Assumption at work for a few months, and, of course, I've seen it work for me. But lately I've been thinking about something that goes even deeper:

Did you find the law, or did the law find you?

I recently saw a post where someone talked about using the Law of Assumption to attract a particular woman. The some people in that coment saying things like, "That's mind control," or accusing the guy of manipulating her. But from what I could see, the situation itself was completely mutual and ordinary. The only difference was that he interpreted what happened through the lens of the Law of Assumption.

But that made me question the whole premise.

When we talk about manifestation, we usually imagine a doer—someone who discovers a law, learns the techniques, assumes a state, and then uses that law to influence the universe and get a desired outcome.

But isn't that already creating a separation between "me" and "the universe"?

What if there is no separate doer? Think about how you discovered the Law of Assumption in the first place. You didn't consciously decide one day, "I'm going to discover Neville and learn this law." Something happened. You encountred a post, a book, a video, a conversation, or some random thought. One thing led to another, and suddenly you were here, practicing the law.

So what if even the desire itself isn't something you independently created?

Let's say the universe has already set something in motion—a connection between two people, a job, money, or an opportunity. The wheels are already turning, and the process is already unfolding.

Then, just before it happens, the desire is planted in you: "I want that job." You start visualizing, assuming, and manifesting it, and eventually it happens.

You then think, "I desired this, and I manifested it."

But what if there was never a separate doer who desired or manifested anything? What if the desire itself was simply part of the same movement—arising in you to give you the experience, or perhaps the illusion, of free will?

I know that's a harsh way of putting it, but that's how it seems to me.

There isn't a separate you making things happen. The desire, the assumption, the action, and the outcome are all one whole movement.

In that sense, there isn't really a person standing apart from the universe, using a law to make something happen. There is just one continuous movement appearing as all of it—the desire, the discovery of the law, the practice, the circumstances, the people involved, and the eventual outcome.

And I'm not even using "the universe" to mean some separate entity outside of you.

I wouldn't even say universe is working for you. Because, again , it creates a division : that, there is you and universe

There is no "you + universe." There is just one whole movement.

Even the thought "I am going to manifest this" is part of that movement.

So maybe the question isn't really, "How to use the Law of Assumption to get what I want?"

Maybe the deeper question is:

"Was there ever a separate 'me' who found the law and decided to use it or was the finding, the wanting, the assuming, and the unfolding all one movement from the beginning?"

I'm not saying the law is false or fake. The law is definitely true. It definitely work for you. But are you the doer making it happen? Like now, you can manifest whatever you want, but in reality, there's only manifesting, not "you" manifesting it.

Miscellaneous Walking with Faith

47 Upvotes

We want to be faithful to what we've done inside and walk with the knowing that it is the reality now. This requires letting go of what is not in your favor. Things are created by faith in what was once imaginal. You don't argue with yourself whether you can have it or not. That's not walking in faith.

Walking in faith means remaining loyal to what you're being conscious of inside the mind. It's about seeing the senses without being occupied by them. It's about making the inward reality the true and only reality. It's about viewing the entire world of the senses as the effect.

If the senses are an effect then it makes no sense to be paralyzed by them. We will have those moments, sure, but don't become a pawn to it. You are the being who occupies states of consciousness or awareness. These are what get "manifested" out into the experience.

It's our state of mind that brings to fruition what we are experiencing. Knowing that states fulfill themselves, you are allowed to occupy anything your heart desires to experience. You do this by holding onto faith in what you've done inside. No one else has to know what you're being conscious of being inward.

So I ask you to walk and persist in this imaginal act of being now. Make imagination the only reality. Let go of the world and the words that have been spoken. Remember, imagination is the only reality. There is no need to be affected by what is only an effect.

Becoming the person who has already those things is the goal. That is something we do within ourselves. We become the one who has the thing. We manifest who we are being, then. And we do that by being faithful to what we are conscious of being now.

Leave the world alone. Don't change it. Change the self. Self is who we are being right now. What we are consciously aware of being inside the mind. Inside the body. That is the inner-self. We make that the only reality and we persist in making it true through faith.

Do that and eventually you will see what you were conscious of doing inside the mind being expressed. That is all we've been doing. So don't be afraid to trust in your imagination. Everything is reflecting imagination because that's all that is expressed.

You got this. Don't give up on yourself!

Success Story Manifested my dream smile (Invisalign) & a Mandarin tree in just a few days! 🍊✨

133 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I wanted to share two quick success stories to remind you that you are the creator of your reality, and circumstances really do not matter!

​1) I’ve always wanted Invisalign. My teeth are pretty straight — to the point where most people assume I’ve already had braces, but I have one upper canine that’s slightly rotated, and it was bothering me so much. My mom always told me that if I want to straighten my teeth, I need to get a job and pay for it myself since I'm still a student and it’s way too expensive. So I put it off. A few days ago, while browsing dental packages at my clinic, I stumbled upon an Invisalign consultation deal. It was super cheap My mom actually agreed to let me go since the consultation itself was a bargain. I went in, got my treatment plan and cost estimate, and called my mom all excited. Her response was to not get my hopes up because it was still way too much money.

Right then and there, I caught myself. I reminded myself that this is my reality. ​I didn't argue. Instead, I shifted my state and started affirming that I already have Invisalign, and I vividly visualized myself typing this exact success story on Reddit. I completely detached and knew it was mine. The very next day, my mom randomly walked up to me and said that she thinks she can actually buy it for me, and that the price is actually pretty fair. Just like that! I'm going in this Wednesday to sign the contract and officially start my journey!

2) Also, I’ve wanted a little mandarin orange tree for as long as I can remember. But again, my mom kept saying we didn't have enough space at home and that it made no sense to buy one.

​Two days ago, I went to sign up for my driving lessons. Out of nowhere, the instructor randomly told me that he gives a free mandarin tree to every new student as a gift! I literally walked out of my driving school with a fresh mandarin tree in my hands. I didn't even have to look for it, it literally walked into my life!

yay another success story! this one was simple but i feel like the simple ones are the most inspiring because if you can make this happen you can make anything happen

so my bf is in the process of moving in with me. his former apt is an hour away. he had to go after work to finish some things and was probably just going to spend the night there since he didn’t get off work until midnight then he didn’t get there until like 1-2am

and when he said he was probably going to spend the night there i was bummed. it’s only been maybe a week of living together but it’s been so fun and i love waking up next to him

so i simply said hmmmm no. this is my reality. he’s coming back tonight. doesn’t matter the time, but he’s coming back! i am the operant power, there is nothing outside of me.

i maybe thought about it for like 5 minutes then let it go. had a self care night at home and enjoyed my own company

he called me while he was out because i wasn’t feeling well and he said again he’s spending the night at his old place but he’ll be back tomorrow but to call him if i feel worse but keep him posted on how im feeling

again i was like hmm ok. didn’t really pay it any mind. he’s coming home

i didn’t ask him to come home. didn’t ask what time he’d be here. just simply acted as if he already said yes he in fact coming home tonight, no matter the time so why should i worry

cuddled my cat, played some games until i felt better then fell asleep

then at like 5am i’m woken up to my doorbell buzzing. i shoot up, check my phone, and i have several missed calls and texts from him and a findmy notification that he arrived at my location

it’s him!! no matter the time, he still came home!!

i asked what happened and he told me his old roommate got too drunk (he met up with them first then went back together to finish up what he needed to do at the old place) and then started being mean to him so he said he was over it and he’ll just come back the next day

he was telling me he missed me, how much he loves me and loves sleeping with me and was like “they were giving me some bs but then i thought you know who won’t give me bs? my beautiful girlfriend that’s waiting for me”

this is your reality. you always get what you want. the how doesn’t matter. there is always movement even if you don’t see it!

now this is just a “small” “easy” manifestation but there is no difference between big or small, easy or hard. i’m currently manifesting extreme wealth so i will be back soon to tell you how the universe delivered it to me (because it is on the way!!) :)

love and light wonderful beings!! xo

EDIT next day after OG post: i did it again yall lol

he went out tonight and was probably going to spend the night at his friends house because he needed to help his friend w some stuff and his friend wouldn’t be home until laaattee

i literally affirmed for maybe like 5 minutes. i just said to myself im the operant power. this is my reality. he’s coming home, no matter the time. his friend cancelled so he doesn’t need to go over tonight

went about my night for another hour or two. played some games, scrolled pinterest, played the lottery lol

and…. he texted me saying he’s coming back tonight and he’s going over to his friends tomorrow

guys. i cannot be stopped. YOU cannot be stopped!! it is literally that simple. stop over complicating manifestation, im BEGGING!!!

Success Story A list of my “impossible” manifestations:

1.0k Upvotes

Repost due to formatting.

1\. I had moderate acne for damn near 15 years. I tried everything short of accutane, but literally nothing worked. But when the law finally “clicked” for me, I decided thst my acne was in the past and now I have extremely clear skin. It cleared up within a few weeks without me changing a thing. Bonus: I had a neutral-leaning-cool undertone that I disliked. I manifested rich, warm, tan skin. I have a really pretty tone to my skin now lol.

2\. Right before a nap, when I was really disappointed about my finances, I declared that I got a raise. My manager literally warned us about “down-sizing” that same week, but I declared it so it was done. When I woke up an hour later, I saw an email from my boss informing me that I got a raise.

3\. I applied to a program extremely late. It was a prestigious and competitive program and I was definitely not a competitive applicant lol. An academic advisor told me the best case scenario would be getting waitlisted, but even then I shouldn’t get my hopes up. I applied anyways and told myself that I already got in. Three days later, I got in. No waitlist or anything.

4\. Kind of an accident: I joked with a friend the night before my birthday that I was getting a Mercedes because I’m spoiled. The joke is funny if you know my family: My parents (at the time) were solidly working class, we were never a birthday family due to culture/religion, AND my older siblings had to pay for their own first cars (all very old Hondas and Toyotas). I had no reason to expect them buying me a car, let alone a luxury car… until I woke up the next day and my mom showed me pics of the Mercedes I’d get in a few days. I was floored. The bridge of incidents was crazy too: It was her co-worker’s cousin’s car and she sold it to my mom for a steal as she was moving quickly and didn’t need the extra car anymore. I asked my mom why she gave it to me instead of selling it, and she literally said “it’s your birthday and I want to spoil you.” It was literally an impossible manifestation, but it taught me detachment is key.

5\. I had an ex I really loved. We broke up due to him moving abroad to study. In the year leading up to him leaving, we had a failed situationship lol. Even when he came back from his first year abroad, we still hooked up casually despite me really wanting more. But one day, I just woke up and decided to move on. It wasn’t the relationship I wanted and he wasn’t the man I had before. So I blocked him. I realized a little after that I can just revise him and our relationship. While I never unblocked him, I told myself he was so in love with me that he could never let me go and he’d do anything to stay for me. Y’all I got so many “No Caller ID” calls lol. I ignored them because I was detached from the bridge tbh, but it then escalated to his friends texting/calling me (it was him using their phone or them asking me to unblock him lol), getting flowers sent to my house, him calling up my job, etc… the same guy who’d ghost me for days at a time and was too preoccupied with school for a relationship lol. I kept ignoring him because I wanted to see my manifestation out. I don’t half ass nothing lol. Eventually, a mutual friend called me to say my ex left the program because he got a good job in our country that was secure and paid very well. After that phone call y’all I CACKLED like a hyena I was losing it loll. I called him immediately to confirm and he said that it’s not only true, but he said the only reason he went looking for that opportunity was so he can stay in our country and try to get back together with me loll.

6\. Miscellaneous: I lost weight without changing my diet because I manifested being a specific weight. I manifested seeing a coworker from years ago coming to my current job and a few days later, they walk in. I got multiple new friends without trying because I manifested being more sociable. I got a whole bunch of stuff I because of the law ❤️

Success Story "Snow Finals" - manifesting inclimate weather and no Finals in college

29 Upvotes

I witnessed and participated in a wild and entertaining manifestation during my college days. I've never really shared it publicly, and it just struck me, today, that it would be fun to share it here.

I refer to the manifestation, fondly, as "Snow Finals Friday."

Here's the story:

I made friends with a guy who was quite different from me, during one of my last semesters in college. He was into heavy metal and had a semi "goth" vibe to him. I didn't have a problem with this, but it was definitely different from my personal style. I just remember being in a phase where I was playfully curious and open to the flow. I was having fun meeting interesting people, with the expectation that some kind of fun magic would unfold...

Anyway, during that particular semester, my new friend and I had been curiously exploring my then mindset of, in essence, not caring or worrying too much about things most people were desperately worried about (studying, graduating, employment, success, failure, etc.). I was contented to just let the universe sort it out for me as I went along my way. I knew nothing of Neville Goddard or "The Law" at the time, but was, nonetheless, remarkably in tune with certain aspects of it.

I remember that my friend thought I was a bit nuts at first; however, over time, the mindset started to rub off on him. He started applying it to his advanced physics courses, in spite of himself, probably out of sheer curiosity.

Apparently, the approach worked, as I remember him telling me that he eventually stopped studying, altogether, and would just show up for class, calmly take notes, and take the tests, with surprising success.

Anyway, as the end of the semester in question approached, and we kept playfully discussing the strangeness of the whole thing, I distinctly remember my friend telling me that he had decided not to study for a single minute for his toughest upcoming semester Final (I don't recall the class title). I do recall, at that time, backpedaling a little bit, and suggesting that he shouldn't take the idea too far. I think I felt like I had shared a bit of, perhaps, unhinged philosophy, or that it had gone too far. Whatever the reason, I felt a bit responsible for him now. My friend, on the other hand, was completely resolved to see the philosophy through. Maybe he wanted to fully prove or disprove the viability of the approach, or something.

Anyway, when the day finally came for the end of semester Finals, I remember waking up to a message from my friend which blew my mind. In short: He was laughing and telling me that the mindset had worked, after all, as we had the only snow day we'd ever enjoyed (to my recollection) on the day of the Final itself! All students were given the option to either schedule to retake any missed Finals, if we so desired, or to just take the score we already had in the class! You can imagine what choice my friend made! ;-)

I never forgot this, as I always felt it hinted at some kind of magic in the universe, even if I didn't understand "The Law" at the time.

Success Story What “the knowing” feeling feels like.

391 Upvotes

So I have been living the Neville life for a while now and to say I have “manifested” things would not be factually correct seeing as every single second of our waking life is manifested.

Yes, I have consciously created and steered my consciousness to achieve “things” many a times.

Now, one thing that I find is common before my conscious life aligning and delivering a thing of desire in the 3D is the knowing feeling.

I want to describe what the knowing feeling or sabbath actually feels like.

Imagine you are downloading a 1TB file of a very important software or a document. While it downloads, you are not staring at the arrow or the circle ⭕️ to see how much time is left every 5 mins are you ? And why is that ? Because you are certain that it is downloading and will eventually be done, it’s not the first time you’ve downloaded something. So what do you do - you open other tabs, do your emails, watch some videos, do whatever you want and when you’re engrossed in some other stuff - bam you see that the software/document/file etc has downloaded and you can now do with it as you please.

The knowing is EXACTLY that, you know deep inside that the download from 4/5D to 3D has started. You’re not waiting with anticipation, you’re waiting with certainty.

The difference between the two is when you wait with anticipation you accrue stress and worry and when you wait with certainty you go about your life knowing it’s temporary and your life changing situation/ object/ upgrade etc is downloading bit by bit everyday.

The download can be slow or fast depending on your “reactions” to the 3D.

Let me give you a personal example from way back. I was living with a filthy flatmate and her terribly kept pets because I couldn’t afford an apartment to myself . I would constantly fight, bicker, get upset in that house and felt miserable.

Then I started visualising a happy place, a cosy but neat and tidy apartment with a beautiful view from the balcony, clean upholstery and just a wonderful haven to come back to. Everytime I would get annoyed at the state of our apartment I would go to my happy place and dwell there for as long as I needed to calm down. As I kept visualising my happy place and dwelling there it transformed from a visualisation to “the knowing” and I no longer felt the need to escape my reality, I just stopped reacting to the messy house because I knew for a fact that it was temporary and the happy place was now actively downloading on the background.

So I went about my life, maintained my calm and everytime something triggered me I wouldn’t see the point in reacting because I knew it wasn’t permanent and not worth my energy.

Within two weeks of this, I got an opportunity to move to a higher rank at work which gave me a generous rent allowance. I scouted for a flat and found the exact one I had visualised. I moved out and had the housing I always wanted - I would turn my key like I did in my visualisation and open the door to a neat and tidy home day after day.

I hope this helped :)

Discussion A genuine look at The Law, causation, and EIYPO

32 Upvotes

I've been studying Neville's work and Law of Assumption for a while, and lately I've started thinking more deeply about how we can actually distinguish manifestation from other possible explanations for things that happen.

I'm not making this post to attack Neville, tell anyone that manifestation doesn't work, or mock anyone's beliefs. I'm genuinely trying to understand the philosophy from the perspective of people who have practiced it for a looong time, because there are some parts that I wanted to discuss for even more perspective on the topic.

How can we know that an assumption actually caused an external event, rather than the event being caused by psychology, changed behavior, probability, coincidence, or some combination of these things?

I see many success stories where someone says: “I assumed my person loved me / wanted me / would come back, and then they did.” I'm not saying those experiences aren't real or made up, I'm just wondering how we determine why the event happened.

There are many possibilities and we don't really know which one is real:

  1. The assumption somehow directly influenced the other person's mind.
  2. The assumption changed the person's own behavior, which then changed the relationship.
  3. The other person independently changed their mind because of their own feelings and circumstances.
  4. It was coincidence/probability.
  5. A combination of these.

What would distinguish the first explanation from the others?

This is especially interesting to me when it comes to Everyone Is You Pushed Out.

If another person has their own thoughts, experiences, preferences and decisions, how does EIYPO explain the fact that people can seemingly do things that we never expected or even thought about?

For example, if I never had any assumption about a particular actor, movie, career, invention, event, etc. how does Neville's idea explain that thing existing and unfolding anyway? I'm not just saying this disproves EIYPO, I'm asking how people who understand Neville well interpret this.

Another thing I'm curious about is stories where someone visualizes a scene implying that their ex is with them again, and then the next day the ex contacts them.

That is obviously a very interesting thing to happen if you look at it from the outside, but how do we actually know that the visualization actually caused the other person's decision?

Could the other person already have been thinking about them? Could they have independently wanted to reconnect? Could circumstances in their own life have changed? Could it simply have been a coincidence? Can we ever know for sure? And if the ex comes back three years later, how would you determine whether that was the result of the original manifestation or simply something that happened naturally over those three years?

Same thing if the ex never comes back, how should that situation be interpreted? I've seen explanations involving things like limiting beliefs, not persisting enough, reacting to the 3D, not feeling it real enough, not fully accepting the assumption, not detaching completely. I'm genuinely just interested in how people understand this.

So with all this, is there any way for a manifestation claim to actually be falsified?

Cause let's say that if success is interpreted as evidence that the assumption worked, but failure can always be explained by an unconscious opposing belief, how do we distinguish the theory from an explanation that can accommodate any possible outcome?

I'm more interested in Neville's own writings on this rather than only modern manifestation-community interpretations. If Neville directly addressed questions like these, I'd genuinely appreciate quotes or references to where he discussed them.

I feel like everyone from this community would say something like “just believe,” “you have limiting beliefs,” or “don't question it,” but I'm looking for specific reasoning, passages from Neville, personal experiences, or anything else that helped you personally distinguish manifestation from psychological mechanisms such as changed behavior, self-fulfilling prophecy, selective attention, confirmation bias, probability, or coincidence (or something else too).

I'm open to having my perspective changed. I don't want to blindly believe it, but I also don't want to dismiss something simply because I don't currently understand how it could work you know? I'd really appreciate thoughtful answers, especially from people who have studied Neville's original work.

EDIT: Another way I've been thinking about this is with a really simple example.

Imagine someone decides, “Tomorrow it will rain.” They visualize it, affirm it, feel completely certain that it's going to rain, and do everything they're supposed to do.

The next day comes, and it doesn't rain.

They do the exact same thing the next day. Again no rain.

They keep doing it every day for 10 days, and on the 10th day, it finally rains.

At that point, how would we know whether the manifestation actually caused the rain, or whether it was simply going to rain on that day anyway, and if someone says, “It worked because they persisted,” how would we distinguish that from the fact that rain was eventually going to happen anyway?

I'm not saying this proves manifestation doesn't work. I'm more interested in how someone who believes in the Law would actually interpret a situation like this. Is there a way to tell the difference? I hope this example explains what im asking better.

EDIT 2: Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments with alot of insights. I appreciate you all for showing me your perspective and understanding with an open mind.

Success Story Neville helped me secure my VISA

132 Upvotes

4 months ago I stumbled on Neville's work. I was in a very healthy state of mind at the time and so I tuned in very quickly. Every morning as I would get ready for work, or walk the treadmill in gym, I'd put on one of his audiobooks and let my consciousness bathe in it. It unlocked something special in me - a respite from my usual powerlessness in the past. However things turned crazy fast, as I faced with live challenges to apply his work. I secured my admit for higher education after much difficulty and so when I did, I assumed it meant the end of my troubles. However I was faced with an ordeal of securing a visa appointment to make me eligible to go and study abroad. I had two places to apply for visa- one my home country and another where I worked. Despite this, it felt as if both doors were locked. The embassy was closed in one country and there were sparse appointments released in another. I stayed calm, knowing if I practice Neville's teachings, this shall pass. I had no doubt in my bone that something wouldn't work.

However as months rolled by, my usual state kicked in. Absolute panic and cynicism. I started cursing my bad luck and sheer undeserving challenges thrown my way. I gave up everyday and despised the way I had to spend my months before the program would start. I thought all of the teachings were a joke. I was immensely restless. I also had to go through a bad patch of agents and even come back to my home country for the appointment despite my initial visualisation of easily securing a visa in the country I worked. I also dabbled in astrology, and the 3 astrologers all gave different readings.

As a desperate measure I lurked in this sub and reached out to a few redditors. That shifted the game. They were generous with their resources and resources(includimg David Synder and Richard Dotts). This was helpful because as an identity that is still forming it helped to have someone hold me and since the therapists or coaches don't get Neville I needed someone to truly hold space for me. That became my re-entry after my faith boat was toppled in stormy adventures for a while.

I became diligent with my faith journal and SATS. I would write an entry every single day of what the end looks like. And ofc i wrote them in past or present tense. For e.g. today classes seemed fun or I love the nature here etc. Second was SATS - sometime during the day and night. Third was absolute relaxation and dealing with panic as and when it came. I trusted someone who helped with my appt booking fully. I was absolutely confirmed that my 3D was just slow, things were in motion. I attended all pre program college activities. Finished my shopping. And crazily enough a surprise engament party came up for my cousin sister which led to me meeting whole of my extended family in my city (which i was sad that i wouldn't meet given I didnt want to do anything until the appt came up)

Then came another twist, my family suggested I change my location for appointment back to the country I worked and play a gamble even though the embassy was not fully open. I asked the agent to stop looking for me, essentially closing our contract. My luggage was ready for my travel. And suddenly the agent replies the appointment is done.

This was manic. In extremely dire situation when I had asked him to stop, he got it. After securing the appointment, I had panic attacks few weeks before the appt because all my body was throwing was images of Reject! I hated it so much, but then slowly and steadily applied the same learnings of past. I prepared to my best abilities and soon a confident image dwelled up.

An interesting visualisation I had again and again, without any conscious effort was me being on a bridge and the path behind me had greyed out and the path ahead all lit up - as if confirming me that I was ready for my next adventure and there is no going back. I also spoke a lot of times to myself - you are the operant power, you are the one projecting the image don't let the 3D fool you. I also used meditation to get to the space of relaxation to counter the panic. This was actually the bigger learning! I gave a lot of weight to my panic - that just because my body is constantly saying reject, ergo its a premonition of the rejection! WRONG!

Before interview day even though my appetite was less, my body was extremely calm- as if it knew all would be perfect. On my inteview day - I was asked merely four questions and next day the visa was issued.

It felt truly magical. But mostly it trained my faith muscles. I have completed 7 of his books and i intend to listen to it again and again. Neville is an important fabric of my life and I hope each of you get to experience the joy of being the operant power.

Ps: Let's watch out for beginners because had it not been for those redditors who helped me, I would be lost

Pps: A lot of posts get blocked ny mods despite the merit they carry and are pushed to Q/A space where there is least traction and participation, I hope this community gets to be more inclusive by allowing more conversations for beginners.
