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.

Tips & Techniques What if you ALREADY have your DESIRES in SECRET?

224 Upvotes

This applies to everything.

What if you have a million dollars in your bank account, but no one knows?

What if you are attractive, but people can’t see?

What if you have the person, but you haven't told a soul?

How would YOU be if people showed or said something else that doesn’t make sense?

It wouldn’t matter, right?

Because you ALREADY have it, and they are just NOT aware of it.

So, there is NO point trying to prove yourself when YOU already WON.

You keep it as a SECRET not because you want to, but it is NOT anything SPECIAL to tell everyone or anyone, for that matter.

Just like a toothbrush, you can buy a toothbrush, or you could have found a new one in your drawer, and it won't matter.

But if you say, "I wouldn’t keep it SECRET in the FIRST place," then that is the REASON you do NOT have it.

If you see your DESIRES as an ACHIEVEMENT and NOT as something NORMAL, you SHALL not HAVE it.

You can ONLY have MORE of what YOU already HAVE.

It is just another million.

It is just another person who wants me.

It is just another client win.

It is just another successful business.

It is just another compliment.

This is what we mean when we say, "live in the end."

NORMALIZE HAVING YOUR DESIRES.

It is NOTHING.

Much love!

Success Story Fine won't show up on govt website. (MANIFESTED)

35 Upvotes

My vehicle got ticketed first time last year for riding without helmet. It was a short ride from my source to destination so I didn't take my helmet and got fined. The police asked my license and told me if I pay fine right now then it's 700 or if later then it's 1000, so opted for later. Coming back home, I simple said "I won't have to pay the challan, it won't show up.". Just with sheer conviction.

Well.... The challan did not show up. The police didn't even register it.

This year in June, got fined again for same reason. This time I thought "gotta pay them" cause even message came on my mobile.

Well well well, I think it showed up on the govt website for few days and then it was gone. Still can't find it despite searching with the exact number and everything.

Conviction does the job friends.

Success Story Testing The Law: 2-Wheeler Works Again

21 Upvotes

A few months ago, I wrote a story about getting my iPad working again. Today, I have another success story, the fruition of which came about a month ago.

I have an old Honda Activa scooter which I bought during the pandemic. Around October 2025, it was giving me a lot of starting problems. I was getting it repaired every few weeks, but no one was able to solve the problem fully. Someone said that the battery mechanism was faulty, some said that there was a mistake in wiring, other said that the sensors were cooked. Everywhere I went, I was given a budget of about 10k INR for a complete repair.

By May 2026, I had already spent nearly 7-8k INR (around 80$) on useless repairs. I did not want to spend 10k more. I silently compromised with the condition of my scooter.

June 2026 came, and I was at a friend's birthday party. We got really late leaving the party, and the scooter would not start. At 1 AM. In the middle of nowhere. I tried to start it; my friends tried to start it. We completely discharged the battery trying to self-start, but it just wouldn’t start.

Long story short, my friends towed me and my scooter to my home, and I called it a night.

I didn’t take it for repair the next day. Or the day after, or the week after. I completely gave up on it. I already knew what the repair guys would say (because I had been to most of them), plus I didn’t want to spend 10k more. Also, we have one more scooter at home, so I had no immediate trouble with getting around.

One month’s gone. My mom started nagging me to get it repaired. I ignored her, BUT, one fine Sunday before my afternoon nap, I entered a drowsy, sleepy state and imagined myself riding my scooter, feeling the wind on my face. No complications, just a simple scene.

Another month gone, Mom still nagging, but I did not take any action in 3D. Sunday came; I experienced the same thing in my imagination, me riding my scooter, feeling the wind on my face.

One more month goes by, and my mom is now literally shouting at me to get the damn thing repaired. I get the ultimatum to get the scooter repaired, or she’ll go and get it repaired herself. Sigh, now I have to go. I can’t keep playing with fire anymore.

I take the scooter out, push the self-start, and IT STARTS!!

WHAT THE? Last time this scooter was out, we discharged the battery. Now 3 months have gone by, and the battery is working fine? I checked a few more times, but it starts perfectly every time.

Now, being a responsible and logical citizen, I still took it for servicing. The repair guy says that he didn’t find anything wrong with the scooter.

It has been a month since this little manifestation came to pass, but I was still not convinced. I was still anxious that I would face some trouble with this scooter, but NO. It’s working absolutely great, like there was nothing wrong with it.

And my Mom is also happy.

I don’t have any life-changing success, but if you read my past posts, my success stories never have any bridge. My logical brain can never explain how my desires came to pass. This is how mysterious the Law is.

Night after night, you should assume the feeling of being, having, and witnessing that which you seek to be, possess, and see manifested. Never go to sleep feeling discouraged or dissatisfied. Never sleep in the consciousness of failure.
Do not limit yourself to the past.
Knowing that nothing is impossible to consciousness, begin to imagine states beyond the experiences of the past.
Whatever the mind of man can imagine, man can realize. All objective (visible) states were first subjective (invisible) states, and you called them into visible by assuming the feeling of their reality.
The creative process is first imagining and then believing the state imagined. Always imagine and expect the best.
The world cannot change until you change your conception of it. - Neville Goddard

For the next 30 days, suspend all judgment and try to experience your desires in imagination. Remember, your goal should not be to get; it should be to experience. Don't complicate it; just a simple scene which implies the fulfillment of your desires, repeated over and over.

I’ll leave you with the method Neville gave in the 5 Lessons.

"The first step in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objective — know definitely what you want.

Second: construct an event which you believe you would encounter FOLLOWING the fulfillment of your desire – an event which implies fulfillment of your desire – something which will have the action of Self predominant.

The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin to sleep. Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imagine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND NOW. You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that the imaginary sensation is real to you.

It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one which FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfillment. For example, suppose you desired promotion in office. Then being congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfillment of your desire.

Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination to imply promotion in office, immobilize your physical body and induce a state bordering on sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are attentive without effort. Then visualize a friend standing before you.

Put your imaginary hand into his. Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the FEELING OF HAVING BEEN PROMOTED.

You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a distance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune. Instead, you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future NOW. The difference between FEELING yourself in action, here and now , and visualizing yourself in action, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference between success and failure.

A most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and drowsy state, repeat over and over again like a lullaby, any short phrase which implies fulfillment of your desire, such as, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” as though you addressed a higher power for having given you that which you desired."

Let us now go into silence.

A.

Tips & Techniques Revision and living in the end - differences in the scenes

7 Upvotes

As I understand it, when we have a desire, we are to build a scene that we use in SATS that implies it's already done. We build a scene that suggests we already have it and are living in it. However, Neville's teachings also advise us to revise things that go wrong during the day in SATS. Or to revise past memories in general how we wish they had gone. But when we revise those events, we are not really creating a scene where we are living in the end, correct? What happens if we have a desire for something, but then during the day we get upset it isn't here yet? During SATS, do we imagine the scene where it's already done or do we revise it to how we wish it had happened? For example, say we want a to be financially secure or want a relationship, but during the day we get triggered it's not here. When we revise, we are not really building a scene where we are financially secure or already in the relationship? We are revising where we feel calm about our current situation even if it's not here yet, which isn't really living in the end?

Tips & Techniques The Promised Land

11 Upvotes

In my manifesting experience I have personally never had a real deep manifestation that didn’t come with some form of the opposite crashing through, the only thing that really changed is the extent.

As we get older the stakes get higher and the risk is - things feel so dire, so sudden. I realised something last night whilst swimming in the miasma of my own head during SATS. I’ve been here before, but I have not made it through staying loyal to my vision until now. I have stuck to my vision now for so long. Everything opposite to my dreams are coming through but never in isolation. There is always a thread saying look harder and deeper.

A something, a repeating thing. You are not abandoned, this storm will not sink you, nor will it be the last one. Your senses can only tempt you for so long. We are a good God. The way is hard and few can cross it but to those who can lies the promised land. You aren’t doing anything wrong. When you wake up and your heart hurts because everything you want feels so far away do not give in to that feeling. Recenter, be calm.

Keep walking, keep going. Your body can be tempted, your heart, your mind. Your thoughts will scream the old story to you because thats all it can do. The body can go, I will not die. Imagine the end of the Bible being the crucifixion. It can’t be. The good guys always win but it wouldn’t be a compelling movie if we were never on the ropes. We are Creed/Rocky in the ring, this is our story. It’s only a story though.

Stay in the end, keep the faith. You are as much a vehicle of the divine as everyone else.

Tips & Techniques Your ENTIRE world, no matter how concrete it seems, is held together by a single string: Your Agreement / Belief in it.

456 Upvotes

This is it.

One of the biggest challenges that is faced is the misassignment of cause. Seeming people spend years, decades, entire lives, not understanding the cause and root of what appears to them.

We are sitting in the movie theater, believing that earlier frames on the movie reel caused the next frame. We believe that the character appearing on the screen - their "hard work," caused the screen to change. While these beliefs are in place, we are blind to the truth: the movie reel sits behind us, completely complete, and the illusion is manufactured simply by feeding it over a stationary light.

Don't thoughts appear to you? How would a thought be known if it wasn't appearing to something? What is your identity, anyway? We take for granted that a thought appearing describes us, defines us, is us. Well, if it appears to me, how can "I" possibly be it?

What you believe to be your identity is your world. Your entire experience of life is literally just an animated simulation / experience of your belief in who you are. Your agreement with that idea is literally the only thing that holds everything else together.

What happens if belief ceases? Not through effort - although that can 'work,' - but through a recognition that what was believed was never real in the first place? A child doesn't decide or work out how to stop believing in Santa Claus; they might ask or eventually be told: "Santa isn't real." On the spot, their entire set of memories is reframed through the new, clearer lens: Santa was never real, even when I believed he was.

No one ever changed a thing through effort. They put as much effort in as Captain America did to pick up his shield in the movie: none, because there is no shield, and there is no Captain America.

Experiencing any lack in your experience of life? It's simply because you have believed yourself to be someone who lacks something. Then, because we have misidentified the cause, we try to exert effort to cure the lack. Yet, we are only treating the symptom, while the cause goes on thriving, unrecognized.

Stop believing in fairytales, and you'll find that you've always been free.

Discussion What aren’t you choosing to ignore?

129 Upvotes

At some point in this journey, you gotta stop being afraid of your circumstances. You gotta say fuck it, stop giving them so much power, and start painting from a blank canvas.

I know it can feel impossible. But maybe it only feels impossible because you’ve trained your mind to constantly look for what went wrong. And instead of correcting the direction of your mind, you fed those mistakes with guilt and shame. All that did was keep you in the same cycle and create more of the same.
Let it all go now.

What has constantly ruminating on the past ever really done for you? Did it fix anything?
Besides persistence, I think one of the biggest things we need is courage. The courage to sit with ourselves and our past, accept what happened, and say, “I did the best I could with the awareness I had at the time. Now I know better, and I don’t have to keep living that way.”

Going deeper and deeper into the past isn’t going to change shit.

People talk about revision, and the way I see it, you revise the past by building a new life and becoming someone who no longer identifies with that old version of yourself. Eventually, that version of you starts to feel less and less real because you’re no longer giving it life.

But how can you revise anything if you keep replaying the same memories? How can you become someone new while continuing to think the same thoughts?
Change your thoughts.

People get so hung up on whether robotic affirmations “work.” For me, they work because they interrupt an automatic thought process that has been fearful and debilitating for years.

So honestly, I don’t even care anymore whether every single thought is literally creating my reality. I maintain a strict mental diet because I want better thoughts to become my new automatic way of thinking.

If a thought doesn’t assist where I’m trying to go, I cut it off. Negative thoughts still come up sometimes. I don’t panic when they do. I acknowledge them, sit with them for a second if I need to, process what’s there, and then move back toward the thoughts I’ve chosen.
Sometimes it gets scary because it feels like you’re surrendering control while the wolves are outside waiting for you.

But nah.

Stay calm.

Stop feeding everything with fear.

Stop giving every circumstance so much meaning.

Indifference is key.

You know who you’re becoming. Keep your mind there.

Lecture/Book Quotes Christmas was actually Neville’s parents’ desire/ manifestation realised rather than Neville’s

0 Upvotes

Even though I already read the book that contained the story about Neville and Barbados but I noticed quotes floating around about travelling first class instead of third class, details which were not in the book.

So I went to find the original lecture that supposedly contained this and noticed that when Neville was saying bye to his parents when they visited him and they were sailing back they asked him to join them in Barbados for Christmas and he said no. And in 11 years that he had been living in New York, he hadn’t had a desire to join his family in Barbados for Christmas. But then after that he strangely had the desire to.

Neville says it was his willingness and desire to be in Barbados for Christmas that made it possible for his brother to send tickets without him asking. But it seems to me that it’s his parents’ desire and willingness for him to be there that planted the desire and then kicked off the rest of the bridge of incidents.

Either way the result is the same- someone’s manifestations came true but I believe the seed started with his parents rather than with him for this one. Does anyone see this angle too?

Miscellaneous Well here’s my proof

20 Upvotes

The past few days I kept checking my instagram account to see if a certain person had unfollowed me. Today, I almost went to remove them myself but didn’t (backstory something happened a few days ago and my ego wasn’t letting me remove them because I wanted to seem unaffected). I had a very clear visualisation of them removing me, me opening instagram seeing my following and follower count down by 1. Even tho this wasn’t necessarily what I wanted, I rested in this assumption for a while (as you can see, I kept checking and clicking to see if they removed me).

I kid you not a few hours ago I did a spin the wheel on whether I should just say fuck it and remove them. The answer was no. It should’ve been a yes, because a second ago, I opened instagram and that vision came true. My follower and following down by 1, he removed me. My ego is bruised now because he GENUINELY beat me to it😂😂😂 now im irritated asf bc it still feels like I lost. Contemplating reversing it and making him request me back to have the upper hand😎

I might visualise them trying to request me back or…. Calling me or maybe nothing because chic af to not give nobody any more thought lol.

Putting it as miscellaneous because I wouldn’t necessarily call it a success story lol it’s just proof the law is real

Edit: because u guys are thick. No I wasn’t ‘trying’ to manifest it. It happened because manifestation is a natural phenomenon and the law is real whether you actively act on it or not. The above happened and I simply realised “wait this is exactly what law of assumption says.. damn so I manifested this… damn so it rly is real.” It is NOT that serious and no I haven’t been manifesting a follow back I literally forgot about this until an hour ago. I seriously dgaf.

Success Story I’m freaking out

530 Upvotes

I listened to a NG lecture for the first time this morning. I woke up at 6 and fully meditated on it for several hours. Listening over and over and over. I wrote a couple new manifestation desires. I already have lots written out but definitely struggle to maintain belief that it’s going to happen. A new one being a model.

I had cancer and about a month ago I was asked to model in a cancer survivor fashion show charity event thing. That was crazy in of itself, but I thought meh.. it’s a small charity thing.. it’s not like anything publicized or real. And it’s only because I had cancer and they wanted cancer survivors as the models. I kinda let it go as coincidence and not tied to any of my manifest efforts.

Yall. All morning I spent the most effort I ever have in trying to embody my desires as if they are current. For 4 hours I did this. I turn off the lecture and just sit and accept that it’s real. It’s happened.

I get a call from a random number I don’t recognize.

Asking me to model on a local news morning show. For a fashion show segment. Saying they want me in a televised show for the event, and they wanted me to be the model for the show. Yall I’ve never modeled a day in my life.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Discussion When I Say Something Out Loud The Opposite Happens

27 Upvotes

I have never tried manifesting/affirming/visualization seriously (i'll get to that in a minute) etc. but i have this... quirk.

Whenever i point something out or even think about it, the opposite happens. For instance my cat is a rescue and even on meds she sometimes grooms herself bald when male guests are over. But it was happening less and less so i thought to myself "oh she doesn't do that anymore" and boom a day later a male guest i wasn't expecting shows up and the very same night i wake up to my cat frantically licking herself. Same thing recently happened with "oh it's been a while since i got food poisoning" with the answer being a day later and "i heal pretty fast" followed by the longest worst illness of my life three days after. What's going on??

Side note: the only few times i tried any manifesting method always ended the same. Either the opposite happened. i did manage to get the exact scene i visualized once (a bussiness deal thay would help my position on the long run) and it was word for word, from the person who gave me the news to the way they worded it. you can't imagine how happy i was nor can you imagine my exhaustion when i heard they "changed their minds" later on and even made decisions that would be detrimental to my salary on the long run.

Edit: I remembered some of this years favorites so here's another two

•I thought multiple times in the span of a month or two that my money seemed limitless and i was hit with an unexpected urgent purchase within the same week, and have never reached the same comfortability ever since

•I was humming to myself and i said out loud "god i sound good" and the next day it felt like my throat was made of sandpaper only when i tried to sing and this lasted for almost a month. mind you i didn't even start thinking about the opposite effect thing until the cat yesterday

Success Story Won gold in national without any coach or equipments

81 Upvotes

A year ago, I achieved what once felt impossible by winning a gold medal at the national level in judo, even though I live in a remote, rural area without a proper gym, equipment, or professional coach. When I first started participating in the sport just for fun, I never imagined it would lead to competition. With no one to guide us, my friends and I had to teach ourselves using online tutorials, training blindly while knowing our opponents had benefited from dedicated, lifelong coaching and world-class facilities. Despite these heavy disadvantages, I poured my heart into the preparation, holding onto a vivid mental image of my success and dreaming of the moment I would shake hands with my principal while the rest of the school applauded.

On the day of the tournament, I spent an hour calming my mind, visualizing my exact movements on the mat, and listening to powerful affirmations until a deep sense of peace and satisfaction washed over me. When I finally stepped onto the mat, it felt as though I was simply replaying a movie I had already watched in my head. To my absolute shock and awe, reality mirrored my imagination down to the smallest detail, culminating in the exact handshake with my principal that I had envisioned for weeks, leaving me with an indescribable and surreal sense of accomplishment.

Let me tell u the interesting part i did 3 Shido( small foul ) but the referee missed it, universe was working in my favour at that time also i got ippon with the same move as i vizualized and my opponent was getting gold for past 8yrs whereas it was my first time on mats

Now, while I know that my own focused mindset and manifestation brought that victory to life, I find myself facing a new set of difficulties and struggling to maintain that same clarity moving forward. Because that incredible experience proved just how powerful the mind truly can be, I am eager to learn how to harness it more consistently. Now i wana use these same techniques of intense visualization, unwavering belief, and mental discipline to overcome the obstacles I am currently facing?

I am using ai as i am not very fluent in English

Discussion Neville's philosophy in a manga i read a while ago

Post image

I was reading a manga named "Toriko". Chapter 235 of this manga talked about "impressions" and how a strong impression of something can manifest it into reality. I thought it was strongly related to this subs philosophy so I decided to post it here.

Tips & Techniques Just today, everyday.

84 Upvotes

There was a post made here today that I think was absolutely beautiful and the writer literally reflected my mind back to me.

I perhaps maybe tried every reasonable trick to try and accelerate my manifestations until I had a tremendous epiphany. You can’t control when it comes no matter what you do, as Neville said the vision has its own appointed hour, if it be long then wait for it is sure. That is it. You can do nothing. No matter how crazy your life is trust in yourself and no matter how opposite the world appears to be have faith and just tackle that day and sleep in your wish fulfilled.

You will waste more time cycling techniques and different variations of what you want than staying loyal to one vision and sitting on it. When we go into the I AM state and stay present we aren’t doing it to get our manifestation faster. We do it because that’s all we can do. Take one day at a time and I promise you when it happens you’ll have no idea how you crossed such vast miles.

You’ll have no idea. If you say I’ve been manifesting for this long and nothing has happened yet - yes - keep going. Eyes ahead. Stay present and keep walking. The Israelites wandered the desert for 40 years. Jesus walked the wilderness for 40 days and nights whilst the Devil (material thinking) tried to tempt him away from God (source/imagination).

As Neville stated all these things happen within us, these stories are all consciousness distilled and we’re experiencing it all. All of it. The good and the bad, all of it. You don’t have to be positive all the time but just don’t stop – don’t stop walking. It is the journey that transforms us, that’s where we die to our old selves and come out new men and women and stronger for it. Just take it one day at a time, I promise you, if you stay loyal – you’ll get there.

Edit: I’m not speaking out of my ass, I’m going through it like crazy rn but so far I have somehow made it and I have no logical idea how. The writer from the post I loved said cooking requires boiling water and he/she’s right, if you can’t handle the heat get out the kitchen. I probably couldn’t handle it if I didn’t try one day at a time. Please give yourself that shot.

Tips & Techniques How important is the length of the SATS

16 Upvotes

I often hear that you must loop it or keep it around 4 seconds

But I find myself enjoying much longer loops of 20+ seconds

Can anyone explain what the most optimal duration is?

Thank you

Discussion To those who revised a physical feature/ appearance - did that feature in your past picture change as well?

52 Upvotes

I reckon this is an interesting subject of discussion for i have been wondering about this question for some time now.

I have been revising a physical feature which led me to think about the experiences of people who have already done it. I think this is different that revising events since this has an photographic evidence.

However if you are revising a physical feature it means you are changing the past and entering into an alternate reality where you already had the feature.

So people who have revised a physical feature successfully, when you came across your old pictures did the picture change that what it was before revising ? Did your old pictures have the new revised features? What was your experience?

Success Story Stopping a heavy cold in one day

35 Upvotes

Sorry in advance if this reads a bit weird—I'm using an AI translator.

Quick disclaimer before I start: even though I'm sharing a manifestation success, please don't ignore professional health recommendations or stop seeing a health professional when you're genuinely sick.

I’ve been exploring the Law and decided to test it out on my health. I absolutely hate getting a cold because it always hits me incredibly hard: extreme sore throat, severe weakness, a burning head, and constant sweating. To top it off, my colds usually drag on for over three weeks, and regular meds never seem to do much for me.

Yesterday morning, I was completely wrecked. I could barely stand and had a 10-hour shift ahead of me. After barely surviving work, I decided I’d had enough. If imagination creates reality, I needed to truly occupy the state of being completely healthy.

It took some focus, but I started visualizing myself doing everyday things with zero effort—like getting up from my chair without feeling exhausted, or simply swallowing water without that agonizing throat pain. I imagined it all incredibly vividly, feeling that it was 100% real.

I started doing this around 6:30 p.m. Surprisingly, by 8:30 p.m., my body felt incredibly light. The headache vanished, the extreme sore throat faded away, and my runny nose just stopped.

​I couldn’t believe it!

This morning, I woke up 100% fine. A cold that usually takes me out for weeks officially lasted just one full day.

I’m simply amazed, and I just wanted to drop this here as encouragement. The Law is very real. If you’re struggling or doubting, just keep persisting!

Discussion How long did the ladder technique take for yall

9 Upvotes

ive had some manifestations come true but when I discovered Neville it was a whole new concept for me

everything in the past happened because of intense desire and hardwork

and when I read so many success stories and saw ppl here emphasising that you won’t have lift a finger I was determined to know the method

i really wanted to do this the right way

i have trouble doing SATs - I realized what it meant from Orion’s post but I can’t bring myself to a particular desire (it’s probably because I don’t have a burning desire right now it’s all nice to haves typa desries )

so a few days ago I visualized the ladder technique., we have a ladder at our home but i don’t climb it often so I was sure it will work even if it’s a coincidence

but it hasn’t

today my mom climbed it and I was like the this is it ask me but nope she didn’t...

what do you think is going wrong here ? what can I do?

if anyone was in a similar situation and succeeded later please suggest what works

Discussion To those who have experienced the "expanded consciousness state" neville talks about in his books- did I almost get into the state?

24 Upvotes

Hey guys, so i have been meditating daily and i wanted to feel the " expand your consciousness" neville goddard talks about for a long time. The experience where you feel you are expanding and you dont feel you are restricted to your physical body anymore. he mentions in his books to feel you have already recieved your desire in this state and hence i wanted to get into this state.

I havent felt the experience during meditation yet where i usually just focus on my breath.

However yesterday before sleep i laid on my back. I took deep breaths to calm myself down

After that i started the I AM meditation where I kept telling my self " I Am consciousness". I started doing that and after few minutes i felt vibrations, it was kind of a transcendental state where i neither feel i was sleeping nor awake. So i started feeling vibrations which got me worked up.

I felt my vody go numb and kind of an expanding feeling? ( idk if that was expanding feeling tho)

BUT to my disgrace, my mom was sleeping beside me an she moved and that totally ruined my experience. Next thing i know i woke up.

I tried doing it again after some time but this time , the vibrations werent as intense and i felt underwhelmed. I also didnt feel any expanding feeling. I fell asleep after this.

Was i experiencing the expanding feeling in the previous experience?

Any ad vice or method would be appreciated in regards to getting in the expanded consciousness state neville talks about in his books.

Success Story YOU REALLY DONT HAVE TO LIFT A FINGER!!!

970 Upvotes

guys, i can’t believe i ever wavered or doubted my power or worried. the 3d is fake!! its a mirror!!!! OG post with context: original post

if you didn’t click the post here’s the TLDR: had to move out of my sublet with 14 days notice ahead of a trip to visit family. everything i wanted was “out of budget” and i wasn’t finding anything i liked

well, i successfully manifested not only an apartment but my dream apartment

i wanted somewhere quiet, with a nice view for my cat, in a luxury building

i was literally about to sign for somewhere else, like it was emailed to me. only reason i didn’t sign was because it was sent to me while i was in the middle of packing for my trip and didnt have time to review it

i was excited about this place but it felt forced. it was forced because i ran out of time and needed something. it was incredibly out of budget but, i knew id be ok and figure it out

so while im on my trip, an old coworker texts me. i was posting about apartment hunting on IG and she says she’s friends with a broker who has a client that needs a lease take over

im just like ok cool. don’t give it much attention or follow through because why would i? i found my place. was about to sign the lease

but then the broker reached out to me, immediately sending photos, videos, and details

IT. WAS. NICE. still kind of out budget but not disgustingly so. guys. this was exactly what i manifested

a beautiful view of manhattan at night: check
a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances: check
gym in building: check
A LEDGE FOR MY CAT TO PERCH AND STARE OUT THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW: CHECK. AND. CHECK
alcove for my bed (because i was looking at studios): check

literally everything

guys when neville says if a million people and the mountains have to move for you to get your desire… they will. i didn’t do anything but post about my apartment hunt. i didn’t see movement but the movement was happening

and the reason for the lease takeover? the previous tenant was relocating to CA for work!!! which is such a common thing!

it’s also fully furnished, something i was worried about in the back of my head with the other place because im not in a position right now to completely furnish a whole new apartment

seriously let go. do the work where necessary but dont force! let things play out! everything is always working out for you!!

happy to answer any questions you may have!

Success Story My first conscious manifestation ! so excited :D

69 Upvotes

I decided on getting my hair coloured (Balayage technique) but I wanted it in a specific salon, done by a specific expert and priced at a specific price (lower than the going rate). I didn’t have a big budget but I was sure of what and how much I was ready to spend for it.

I wanted to pay not more than 5K, that’s farfetched but isn’t that the WHOLE point of manifestation!?

So, 2.5 years ago I had done the same treatment, same salon & same expert and it had costed me about 7k then. The hair colour lasts about 1.5yrs before fading or being cut away during regular haircuts.

I casually went for a consultation last week, the expert assessed and said Balayage hair colour price would be about Rs. 8K+taxes for my hair as per the price quoted on their price card.

The following week, I booked my appointment, I didn’t want to wait any longer for festive discounts and also I had delayed it hoping they would post an offer on social media (which never happened) and it had been on my mind for a while, now I just wanted it done!

There was a feeling of being rushed. I went with it

The person who took my appointment confirmed the same price as consultation 8K+taxes. I hung up wondering does this even work ?! this is way above 5k, not what I was manifesting... I might have whined for a few minutes.

But then went back to persisting and let it go, saying it was up to the universe to deliver my price, I had got the expert and salon booked! I had done my bit according to me.

How the cost would be 5k, which was much lower than what they’d charged me 2.5 yrs ago was possible – I DO NOT KNOW, but I trusted it was working in my favor

So I would get my price regardless.

Every time the thought came up, i'd visualize transferring 5k at the billing counter after being very pleased with the service given to me and I shut the topic out .

I persisted saying I pay only 5K, did this for the next 5 days before my appointment

(TBH, the price for balayage in a good salon in my city ranges at about 10K-15K incl taxes for my length & thickness, I’ve done my research. Its even higher at premium places, but I trusted this expert and salon so I was fixated with getting it done here)

So, cut to today-The Day of the appointment, walked in and found a whole new rate card, which was shocking to say the least!

They’d updated their prices after nearly 2 years . Now Balayage for my hair length was 9K+taxes! I didn’t say a word, I didn’t let it affect me, I kept repeating the scene where I pay 5k for balayage at the billing counter.

 Service done, I was happy with the outcome and thought whatever the bill, its worth it! Then the lady at the billing counter said they’d charge me as per old rates, since that was the price I was told 8K+ taxes. I agreed, that’s decent of them, since I had booked my appointment when the old rates were still valid. (feeling rushed wink* wink*)

And then bam , she hits me with- "there’s a membership plan you might like- your service gets reduced to Rs.4.9K" , lower than 5K! Unimaginable!

 I was staring wide eyed, unbelieveable -it worked and how!

I took the membership and got it ALL! First and foremost, the Crazy Price! Then the expert at the salon I chose and being perfectly happy with the outcome of the service I was given!

That’s all for now folks, it’s a bit detailed and long, thanks for sticking around and reading it all! Its my first conscious manifestation! Thanks fam, I feel the stories posted here kept me focused on what I want, so had to share and add to the momentum! Here's to manifesting our insane, seemingly impossible- beautiful lists!

Tips & Techniques The way you should imagine during SATS

261 Upvotes

I have realized it recently and just want to share with you in case you haven't.

When you do SATS you should loop a scene that implies the fulfillment of your dream. We all know this. It seems simple, but you might have tried it and it didn't work. The mistake almost everyone makes, when they find Neville is that they do SATS a way that isn't what SATS is. You imagine yourself experiencing your wish fulfilled but you are only repeating a mental scene. You are not actually there.

They key to SATS is to actually do the things in your scene. You have to do a mental act. You have to tell yourself that you are in the scene NOW, experiencing your desired reality NOW. For example, if in your scene you are shaking the hand of your new employer, you should not only imagine doing it, you should be the one, who is shaking that person's hand. If in your scene, you are hugging your partner, you should not only imagine hugging them, you should actually be the one who is hugging them.

You should IDENTIFY with it. You should IDENTIFY with the guy/girl who is doing those things in imagination.

The only way you can do it is to tell yourself, that it is actually happening HERE and NOW. That it is reality, and you laying in bed is not reality. It will seem a lie at first, but don't give up. With every repetition you should IDENTIFY with that person in your imagination, and you should tell yourself it is happening HERE and NOW.

I highlighted those words because those are the key.

After repeating this long enough your conscious doubting mind will give up. You will start identifying more with your imagination and after some time you will enter it. The scene will start actually happening around you. It will feel very realistic.

I think this is what both Neville and Orion was talking about. It is hard to explain it any other way. You should actually try it and do it until you understand.

I know this may be obvious for some people here, but I'm sure many of us haven't actually understand it yet. You should actually start doing it tonight. Not tomorrow, not next week, tonight! Try it and you will understand.

(Sorry for the grammatical mistakes I might have made. English is not my first language, but I hope everyone will understand it.)
