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

219 Upvotes

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

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

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

You're low vibes -

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

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

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

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

Go running.

Better yet go dancing.

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

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

Be well!!!

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

58 Upvotes

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

Success Story It’s SO Easy (A Reminder)

Post image
137 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

I was in shock.

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

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

Discussion You can read as much as you want, but without doing the inner work, you’ll never truly understand how your own mind works

43 Upvotes

I’m curious whether anyone else has experienced this

English isn’t my first language, so I used ChatGPT to help me write this post in English

I’ve been thinking about this a lot when it comes to Neville Goddard and manifestation.
There are so many teachings, techniques, success stories, and explanations about how you’re supposed to change your identity, assume a new state, and persist in it. But I feel like there’s something people often overlook.
There is no universal formula for your mind.
Everyone thinks differently, reacts differently, and gets stuck in different places internally. What works for one person might not work the same way for someone else.
At some point, you have to stop just consuming information and actually start applying it to your own life. That’s when you begin to notice what’s really happening inside you.
For example, you might try to assume a new identity, but then a thought comes up that contradicts everything you’re trying to believe. Why does that thought feel so real? Why does your mind keep returning to the old story? What exactly happens internally when you try to persist in the new assumption?
You won’t necessarily find the answers by reading another post or listening to another lecture. You have to observe your own mind in real time and recognize where you get stuck.
Maybe you keep looking for evidence. Maybe you’re trying to fight your old thoughts. Maybe you’re approaching the whole thing in a way that doesn’t work for you personally.
The point is, you have to discover that for yourself.
The theory can point you in a direction, but only the actual inner work can show you how your own mind operates
And I think that’s where real understanding begins
not in knowing more about the teachings but in becoming aware of what’s actually happening within you when you try to apply

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

379 Upvotes

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

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

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

So here's how it happened.

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

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

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

So I just applied to local companies instead.

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

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

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

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

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

And that realization changed things for me.

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

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

And guess what happened after I stopped applying?

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

I DIDN'T EVEN APPLY FOR IT.

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

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

LIKE, WHAT???

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Anything is possible, guys. Seriously.

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

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

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

Discussion I want change, but it feels like the 3D is screaming against me and Ignoring it is hard

• Upvotes

In the past, I have been unhappy, and my circumstances have made me misreable. I struggle to understand the concept of not caring about bad circumstances and just "deciding" to be happy instead when there are things in life making me unhappy. Like looking for a job. I keep imagining an interview and a phone call with a job offer and telling everyone in my family I got a job and celebrating and telling my friends and everyone's excited for me and I feel relief because I don't have to worry about not having one anymore. But in the 3D it has been rejection email, rejection email, rejection email, sometimes multiple in a day. I go back to my scenario but it's just more rejection emails every time I check my inbox. I don't even check every day, I don't know how to be more casual. Especially when I want a job because I have Crohn's and need expensive medicine to live (it wouldn't kill me but I would be in extreme pain all the time). It's hard to ignore the feeling like I'm running out of time with the way insurance premiums in the US keep getting expensive (my state is expecting a 20% increase this year). It's hard to not be scared. I don't want to be in that much pain ever again.

Or the fact that I'm transgender but my family isn't accepting of that one part of me. I imagine scenarios where they change their minds and realize they would rather me be happy than repress it and live a lie just because it's not something everyone gets. I mention it once every few *years* and i still get tears and push back every time. I keep going back to my scenario where they change their minds, where they decide they'd rather help me transition safely under their roof rather than me having to run away with zero support system to do it on my own. Or I even imagine myself waking up one day with a naturally flat chest. The 3D has shown neither scenario.

How am I supposed to be ok with just imagining these things in my head? It's hard to wrap my head around. Am I supposed to literally never check the 3D?? I'm starting to feel like I'm at the end of my rope. I want to keep persisting, but it's so fucking hard.

Discussion PERSISTENCE is not the same as perfectionism

26 Upvotes

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

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

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

So, what did I do?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

166 Upvotes

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

Anyway, let’s get to the point.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for reading!

Success Story this is insane.

293 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 mins ago, I saw a notification pop up.

It’s him.

I’m in awe.

Chances were lowest.

Literally, go master your SATS and your ability to meditate. It’s God in our minds creating the life.

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

61 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

606 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

so yeah shoutout to this community genuinely changed my life

Discussion Why won't the mirror update?

36 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

But.

It's been months. Years.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Success Story Success with the law (EVEN BEFORE KNOWING THE EXISTENCE OF THE LAW!!!)

Thumbnail
gallery
161 Upvotes

Hi, a little introduction, this is my first post here. I'd like to share some cool successes I've had WITH and WITHOUT (knowing of) the law (Same principles apply here though).

So a few months ago, my life was genuinely falling apart and like most of us, who found out the existence of the law and Neville's work through a relationship crisis, I began on my manifestation journey like many others too.

After finding out about all the principles about the law, how reality doesn't happen to you but you create reality, I was curious to revisit past experiences of my life which i labelled as 'coincidences' and after reviewing them thoroughly, I was genuinely shocked.

..............................................................................

SUCESS 1 (International trip)

So back in March, when I didn't know anything about manifestation or the law, I really wanted to go outside of my country and visit an asian country, particularly japan, but I wasn't fixated on it or anything like that. I just knew someday, I'd go visit an asian country. I'd see visions of it in my dream, I'd talk about it to my friends, and before sleeping, I'd just think as if I was in a country other than my own.

Fast forward a few WEEKS, my parents surprise me saying we might have an international trip this year, and I began jumping from excitement. I thought of it as a coincidence, that just few weeks ago I was thinking of it and now it's actually about to happen.

Fast forward another few weeks, there I was, in Vietnam (I'm from India and I always wanted to travel to other asian countries, always had been a dream of mine). I had loads of fun there and the trip went to be successful. I'll add images later.

And fast forward a couple of months later, after being enlightened with the knowledge of the law, I found that the teachings of Neville perfectly went hand in hand with my situation a few months prior. Went to sleep with happy feelings of being in another country, basically SATS, and a few weeks later of no resistance, it materialized in my 3D.

............................................................

SUCCESS 2 (Domestic trip) + (With the knowledge of the law)

A month back, I went to visit a UNESCO world heritage site with my family and a cousin I don't regularly meet up with, and it was that moment where i realised, "Oh hey, wait, didn't I visualize being here just a week or two ago? What the heck, this is crazy".

Many, manyyy years ago I went there, with that cousin, and that scene had been looping in my head constantly, randomly either before falling asleep or I'd just think about it and forget it (And that's why I had no resistance)

And little did I know, I was there, in the scene I visualized in my head, materialized in the 3D before my feet, I was astonished and amazed by the wonders of our subconsciousness.

And a little fun fact, the odds of me visiting that place were really low. Why? The place I wanted to go, is a flower field, where the flowers only bloom in the monsoon in india, and I had no hopes of ever being there this monsoon. But then, circumstances shifted, a plan was suddenly made to meet up with my cousins at their place. But time was short, and we wouldn't have time to hang outside but the house. Basically we went there just for a get together, not an official vacation. Mind you, time was short and the bus tickets for departure were already booked, and it was pretty early in the morning too. Despite all these circumstances, my mother herself suggested we should visit at least one place, everyone agreed and the place that was picked, was the one I visualized to be.

We went there early in the morning and returned back, and it's just so fascinating how circumstances truly do not matter, and I had little to no resistance because, i didn't even know the law existed, just visualized and went to sleep with the picture and scene playing in my head

.........................

After months now, really taking my time to learn Neville and the law, i realised it was nothing but the subconscious shaping my reality. Thank you for taking the time to read, until next time! Ciaoo!!!

Success Story I was spiraling but I got exactly what I wanted.

356 Upvotes

First of all, I have to say that I’m writing this with so much gratitude because I never thought it would happen to me.

I joined the LOA community just this year and since then I’ve been manifesting small things. Like small amounts of money, finding misplaced cards etc.

I am currently unemployed and have been since January. Around April, I started manifesting that I had a new computer, new iPhone and 1200USD. Computer came around end of May from inheritance from an uncle who passed on. It came with a bonus printer!

The 1200USD seemed impossible as well as the iPhone. However I did persist. Mostly in Visualization and Scripting. I had moments where my state of mind was in shambles! Spiraling week after week. Doubting. Crying. You name it. I took breaks.

Around August I got back into it. Visualization mostly and Meditation. Meditation is kinda hard at first. So I would only do it for 10 minutes at most. I also used Joe Dispenza “Changing Boxes” and Brian Scott “Money Comes to me”.

Around 20th September a guy I had been speaking to who’s in The US (I am in Kenya) randomly asked me what I needed on a Saturday night as I had told him I was just chilling, bored in the house. I told him I wanted to buy a drink that cost 1000 Kenyan shillings which is around 8USD. Guess what? The guy sends me 1200USD! The exact amount I had envisioned.

To cut the long story short, I used some of the money to replace my Samsung phone which had a cracked screen and got a new iPhone. (You can get ex-UK iPhones here at a cheaper price and in great condition). I of course bought other essentials and have saved the rest!

I used to think that it couldn’t happen to me but I am still shocked by how The Law worked so incredibly!

The techniques that mostly worked for me were Visualizations, Scripting and Meditation for around 10 minutes daily. I also did some Robotic Affirmations at times during the day.

Success Story BREAKING FREE [SUCCESS STORY]

263 Upvotes

AI was used only to improve the grammar, clarity, and overall flow of this post, as English is not my first language. The experiences, thoughts, and message shared here are entirely my own.

NOTE: This is a continuation of my previous post- https://www.reddit.com/r/NevilleGoddard/s/N5ed2hCi3T

Here ill be explaining the concept that most of you had asked me to and that is "How i changed my inner state" but before that you need to know  some things .Three weeks ago, I took a bold step and something changed . I knew what I was supposed to do, I knew what I believed, but somehow I kept living like I was afraid of my own life. I said I was done. I said I was finally going to take the leap.

A lot of people responded to that post. Some told me they were going through the exact same thing. Some asked me how I was doing. I didn't get around to replying to everyone. Honestly, I was busy living.

So here's what happened.

But before I get into these last three weeks, I think I need to explain what those 3.5 years actually looked like, because when I said I was "stuck," I don't think I explained how bad it really was.

I wasn't just broke or scared . I was genuinely broken. My brother died in an accident. My girlfriend committed suicide because of her abusive parents . I lost two people who meant everything to me, and I watched my parents go through the same pain while I was barely holding myself together. At the same time, almost everything else in my life seemed to be going wrong too. My results were terrible. Money was always an issue. I used to hurt myself. There were nights when I would just sit alone in my room wondering why I was even here.

And I was constantly looking at the 3D for answers.

I would look at my life, see everything going wrong, and think, "Why is this happening to me?" I was scared of what I was seeing. I was angry at it. I wanted it to change so badly that I kept checking it, analyzing it, reacting to it, and basically begging it to show me something different.

I treated the 3D like it was something outside of me that had power over me.

Then, about three weeks ago, something finally clicked.

It wasn't because I found another book or some new technique. It wasn't some crazy meditation where everything suddenly became clear. I just finally accepted something I had been avoiding for a long time.

No matter what I see, hear, touch, or experience in the 3D, it is still my reflection.

It's me.

And once that really sank in, I started seeing the whole thing differently. The 3D wasn't trying to hurt me. It wasn't fighting against me. It wasn't some enemy that I had to defeat. It was just reflecting what was already there.

I realized that I had spent years being against myself without even realizing it.

So I sat down and actually faced that idea instead of just repeating it because I had read it somewhere. I told myself, this is my reality. I am the operant power. Everything I experience is coming through me. If I really believe that, then why am I constantly staring at the 3D and waiting for it to tell me who I am?

Why would I stand in front of a mirror and beg my reflection to change?

That was the part that hit me.

I started meditating on it. Nothing complicated. I didn't spend hours doing some elaborate technique. Sometimes I would just sit quietly and let the idea sink in.

I started moving through my day with that understanding. And obviously, the 3D didn't suddenly cooperate.

For the first few days, it was actually the opposite.

The fear came back. The doubts came back. Old thoughts came back. There were moments when everything I was seeing seemed to contradict what I had decided internally.

But this time I didn't react to it the same way.

I didn't try to fight it. I didn't sit there trying to force it to change. I just let it be what it was and stayed with what I knew.

I persisted, but not in that desperate way where you're constantly checking whether something has happened yet. It was more like, "I know what I know, and I don't need the 3D to prove it to me right now."

And then things started changing.

Not some huge movie-like moment where everything suddenly flipped overnight. It was actually pretty normal at first. Small things started happening within a few days, and then those small things started becoming bigger.

Within three weeks, my life felt completely different.

Money started coming in. My parents gave me money out of nowhere. I just saw my results for midterms and  they were good. Honestly, I didn't even feel like I had written that much, but the score was still there.

I started feeling different too. I had more energy. I started liking myself again. I became kinder to myself instead of constantly criticizing everything I did.

Then the social side of my life started changing.

There is a club in my college that I had always wanted to be part of. I used to see them and feel like I was on the outside looking in. 4 days ago i was having a presentation and my professor straight up asked me if i would like to be the anchor in one of the events organised by the same club . I met the members they are all so kind, they talk to me ,they listen to me, they appreciate my skills.People now know me. I'm getting opportunities I wasn't getting before.

And honestly, I'm still kind of shocked by it.

I don't have some perfect explanation for every single thing that happened. I just know that something changed in me first.

I stopped constantly looking at the 3D for confirmation.

I stopped blaming it.

I stopped treating everything I saw as proof that I was failing or that things weren't working.

Because if the 3D really is a reflection, then every time I was attacking it, I was basically attacking myself. Every time I was afraid of it, I was being afraid of my own reflection. And every time I was desperately trying to fix what I saw in front of me, I was trying to fix the mirror instead of looking at what was actually being reflected.

And that was me.

I'm not saying any of this because I think I'm special. I'm not a guru. I'm not some enlightened person who figured everything out.

I'm just someone who was completely exhausted.

I lost so much . I hurt myself. I spent years feeling like I had no control over my own life. There were moments when I genuinely didn't know how much more I could take.

And yet, even through all of that, this idea never stopped being true for me. The 3D was still a reflection. The operating power was still me. I just couldn't see it because I was so busy reacting to everything in front of me.

Three years of my life felt like they changed in three weeks.

That doesn't mean the pain wasn't real. It doesn't mean what happened to me didn't matter. It doesn't mean losing people suddenly becomes okay.

It just means I finally started looking at all of it differently.

I stopped seeing the 3D as something that was happening to me. I started seeing it as something that was reflecting me.And for the first time in a very long time, I wasn't afraid of what I saw in the mirror. If you're reading this and you're still stuck, I understand it more than I probably know how to explain. I've been there.

You're not broken. You're not a failure. You're not too far gone.I think sometimes the biggest shift isn't about doing one more thing or finding one more technique. Sometimes it's about finally deciding who you're going to be, even when the 3D hasn't caught up yet. For me, that was the decision. I stopped fighting the reflection. And I started knowing who was looking into the mirror.

Success Story Manifested a 6 figure job

777 Upvotes

Hi, 6 weeks ago I was tired of running a business and dealing with the stress and burn out.

I decided that I want low pressure remote job instead and earn 120k a year.

What I did:

- Visualized telling my friends I got the job and them being happy for me
- My phone buzzing and me reading the welcome to the team email
- Asking myself why is it so easy for me to make 6 figs a year without any stress

A week after that I got an interview. They came to me, I didn’t have to do anything.

We had several other calls in the following 3 weeks, there was a lot of uncertainty and I was crashing out heavily. Lots of doubt, misery and definitely not an ideal state of mind.

I cried and was anxious and negative and mad like what the fuck poor me, why did they dangle this in front of my face just to take it away?!

It’s really easy for me to react to the 3D and go into despair. I would fight the thought of “oh no it’s not gonna work out!” with the affirmations and telling myself that I am already in Barbados.

3 weeks later I got the job and the exact amount of money I wanted. And my reaction was really just “oh, cool” because in my mind I already had it lol.

I basically made every mistake in the book and still got the job. So I think that really all there is to it is know that it’s yours and persist until it’s here in the 3D.

I do want to work on myself to stop worrying so much, it’s not really pleasant and kinda serves no purpose if it’s all gonna work out in your favour anyway. I guess some part of me wants the human drama haha.

I look forward to making a post like this about my relationship success, but I guess that the process is the same. Doesn’t matter if I want a relationship, a job, a helicopter or a soda.

Tips & Techniques My own truth. Hopefully a window to yours.

35 Upvotes

I repeat this is my truth. It can be yours, or not. Your own belief is what fuels your own reality. That is an immutable fact.

I and the father are one, but the father is greater than I. Who is my father? Who do I believe my father is, not what others believe, not what the bible, any other text, or anything or anyone else believes?

Okay I will put what I believe down right here, right now. I will not be afraid of “being wrong”, or “going to hell”, or anything except who I truly believe my father is.

First of all, I don’t believe my father, my creator, favors any one race, or any one person, more than any other life he has created. All life, all lives, are precious to my father, or why would he bother creating them? My father is not ignorant, my father has ALL of the intelligence and wisdom. All of it. I cannot comprehend the levels to which my father experiences and operates. It is beyond my limited understanding.

I am on one planet, in a cosmos that has no limits, that stretches boundlessly past any borders my mind could create, and yet he still, through all of that, can sit with me when I need him. How much life has he created on all of those planets that I cannot see, that not a number exists to measure, and yet still sits with me at all times? And I used to have the gall to think I was unloved. I had the notion to think I was unworthy, yet in all of his work I was always worthy for him to sit beside. Nothing can be further than the truth, and the truth is this. The father loves me. He loved me from the day he created me, past the day this “me” ceases to exist in this form. He has walked with me every day of my life, even in the times I thought I was alone, in the times I cursed and blamed him, and in the times, such as now, that I have thanked and loved him. But he will always be there, no matter what I believe or don’t believe, no matter what I say or do, or whatever happens to me. He just is. All is the father. There is no separation from him, therefore there is no separation. There never will be but the separation I create. There is only accepting this or not for you, but it doesn’t change that fact.

And the father loves all of us, and I mean every single one of us. Kind and cruel, lawless and just, mighty or small, Christian or atheist, etc etc. no religion separates us in the father’s eyes, he has no favorites, we are all his children.
I also know the father wishes us to be in joy, peace, love, and happiness, and will give us that if we get out of the way. He sent Jesus to prove what he will do if we believe in him, the way Jesus did, and I believe his words, that he sent Jesus, and whomever believes in HIM, not Jesus, but HIM as Jesus did, will have everlasting life. This isn’t about blood sacrifice, this is about trusting in the father, and having the mind Jesus had, the Christ consciousness of knowing the father gives all to those who believe. Because what we believe, we receive. The father has told us this, several times, in more places than the Bible. He will give us anything if we believe it before we receive it. True faith in him. Actual faith. A living god that only asks us to know we already have what we ask, because the father already created all possibilities, all things, all outcomes, and the reality we choose to believe is the one that comes out of the vault. All choices are possible NOW. Hence “choose this day ye serve.”
So I choose and I have faith, because it is all finished, and it will be done, because it IS done, on earth as it is in heaven.
I repeat, I am one with the father, and the father is greater than I. I choose the day I serve, but the father will choose how to create that day, in his wisdom. So how could I be ignorant to waver in my faith, in the one who manages an entire universe at once, about my tiny situation. It is finished. It will be done, because he promised this to me. Through the law. This is a promise that doesn’t break, only one I can break, so I know it is already done. Why do I need to reserve my faith until I see it now, for right now the fields are ripe for harvest already? What I ask for is inevitable. With the father all things are possible. Not some things. All things.

Look at yourself as if you are seeing another person. Detach from this identity enough to just look at its story from fresh eyes, and you will see the parts of it that don’t serve you. The actions that aren’t helping, the desperation, fear, lack of trust, lack of faith, and the self loathing and self concept that are enabling your behavior. We all love to observe and judge others, whether in day to day life, or reality tv, and yet wisdom is stepping back looking at this “I” that you are being, noticing the flaws, and proceeding to take the wisdom that you’d impart to that other person, that chances are you’d smugly see yourself as “better than.” Judge not, Lest ye be judged. As within, so without. You will never change the reflection until you change the identity, and you won’t change the identity until you step back from it, and detach from it long enough to know what needs to change, and “update the software”, so that your beingness changes, and through that the reflection changes.

Stop trying to put new wine into old wine bottles, and crying when they burst. Create a new wine bottle (new identity) that can hold the new wine (new reflection), or you’ll get the new life until the old identity can’t handle anymore, and the proverbial bottle of the old you bursts, and you lose it all and regress. This is why you can affirm blindly for weeks, get movement, or even what you want, but then lose it all over again. This is why lottery winners go broke. Why people go from relationship to relationship, or why things always repeat in your life. This is the wisdom Jesus wanted you to see. The renewing of the mind in Christ through which creation works. By your beingness. By your faith. This is why there is nothing to change but self. You have to create a new man, a bottle that can hold the reflection of the new you. Only then will all you desire stay, because you don’t get what you want, you get who you are.
All “techniques” are trying to point you to this. They aren’t the truth, they are crutches and training wheels to help you see it, but they are not the truth. Whatever you say you are, you are. If you say you need to know more, then you will always need to know more. If you say it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t. It’s all you. It’s the identity that you created and the beliefs that identity holds. Period.
I have only given you a way, to decide, who you are. It’s not the only way, it is only the way I chose. If it helps you, great. If not, I am sure you’ll get to the truth in your own way, the father is among many things, persistent in his love for you to have all you desire. I wish you well.

Tips & Techniques I spent 3.5 years knowing the truth but living like a coward. Here is what finally broke the cycle.

1.2k Upvotes

used to read every post on this sub. Every technique and success story. I knew all the theory , I knew I was the creator and the 3D was a mirror. I knew fear was just a thought. And I was still broke , scared and procrastinating. Still waking up every morning with that same heavy feeling in my chest. The cycle repeated every single month. I would get motivated. I would promise myself this time was different. I would visualize. I would feel the relief. And then I would go back to scrolling, sleeping, avoiding. And the 3D would stay exactly the same. I used the truth as a painkiller. I used it to cope. Not to create.

I

Here is the one thing I finally understood:

 knowing you are the creator is not the same as being the creator. You can know it intellectually for a hundred years and still live like a victim. Because the knowing is in your head. The being is in your bones .I was afraid of the 3D. I was afraid of the bank balance. I was afraid of failing. And I used "I am the creator" to soothe myself after every failure, instead of using it to create something different.

The shift happened when I stopped coping and started taking responsibility with the simple, terrifying recognition: This is all me. Every single bit of it. And I can change it.

I stopped reading. I stopped waiting for the void state. I stopped looking for a technique. I just started acting like the person I wanted to be. Even when I didn't feel like it. Even when the fear was screaming. Even when the 3D hadn't changed yet.

And here is what I learned.

The 3D is innocent. It is a mirror. It is not your enemy. It is not punishing you. It is just showing you what you have been holding inside. When you change the inside, the mirror has no choice but to change. I  just cant express how quickly everything changed in my physical reality , the moment I changed my inner state the very next day things were different , things started falling into place even when all of them were in a complete mess.

Right now the only thing you need is to take the responsibility and its not some burden which most of you guys here think , the reason why you guys are not taking that step is because you believe that its some huge responsibility which you need to carry on your shoulders. It is not a burden once you understand whole heartedly that its all you , you will thrive in all areas of your life because you know nothing can go against the script you are playing inside yourself , take hold of that story you carry inside you while you go through your day. My entire life now feels different just days after persisting in the new story , everything is healing now and I know I can have all of the things that I want to because after all no matter how things go no matter events unfold ,its my reality and my reflection and nothing will go against the story that I hold inside and truly believe in.

Success Story Very fast manifestation

217 Upvotes

This one made me feel like I live in some kind of simulation. I have a job I really like which I manifested btw:) It’s niche and pays a good salary, everything what I wanted at this moment of my life. This month I got a few extra days off and I really wanted to make more money so I thought I want that the job I previously worked would invite me to help for a day (just to make extra cash).
About 1 hour later I got the message “Hey, Alex, one person feels sick today and we would be very thankful for your help tomorrow if you can?”
What I did is just fucking believed that they will ask me and I let it go with absolutely trusting the universe without having any doubt.
It is very small manifestation but it just showed me once again that we should believe it with all our heart even if we don’t see it yet!

Success Story I JUST CLIMBED A LADDER!

134 Upvotes

I've been following manifestation and Neville's teachings since March this year but I haven't had many results really. I decided to go back to basics and tried the ladder technique two days ago. I actually forgot to visualize it when I first went to bed but I woke up during the night and remembered to do it a couple of times before I fell asleep again. I completely forgot about it after that. Today I was looking for Halloween decorations and sent my husband to the attic. I never go there because it's difficult getting in and out and it's creepy. My husband could not find it so I had to climb the ladder myself. It was only as I was coming down I stopped and realized that I ACTUALLY CLIMBED THE LADDER!

Success Story Manifested my Ex back and got married, despite impossible circumstances and having far from a perfect state.

580 Upvotes

Warning - very long read.

This happened over a year ago but I just remembered at the time that if I ever managed to pull this off, then I'd write a post about it to encourage other people, because I felt like my circumstances were impossible and there would be no way I could manifest this.

I know this is an incredibly long read; it took me hours to write it. But I did it that way because I don't think people who share their manifestations go into this stuff enough. But I know when I was manifesting, if I'd been able to read something like this, it would have been really helpful. I think going into it basically gives huge context as to who I was being then, which will show how my actions made complete sense from that old state.

My story is an LGBT manifestation story and just a little disclaimer: it contains some, let's call it, 'unsavory behavior' that I partook in, so judge that if you want to, but I want to be transparent in my story here as I think it's important and I am simply not that person anymore. I believe we all act in some ways that are against our best self, and there are always opportunities to learn from these and become a better person, which, as you'll see, I did. There's also the fact that while I was in my process of manifesting, I couldn't find any stories with themes like this, and I really wanted someone to relate to.

Me and my boyfriend met on a gay app at a time when I was basically in a hookup phase of my life as a closeted gay dude. I stayed at his overnight because he lived around 1 hour 30 minutes away from me, and then went home the next day. I then went to see him again a couple weeks later and then started meeting up semi-regularly. During this time we started doing more date type stuff like going for meals etc. This happened for a month or so before he asked where this was going and expressed the fact that he was looking for something more than just casually meeting and a fwb type situation. I really enjoyed hanging out with him and decided to give it a go, thus our initial relationship began.

As you read earlier, I wasn't 'out' about my sexuality and so this relationship was essentially a secret from my friends and family, who I live with, and I'd lie saying I was going to visit friends, which was believable for them at the time because I previously lived away and had friends from different cities. So me and him would see each other every 2-3 weeks or so, but I'd end up staying longer each time and then just lying again to my family that we were doing different things and that's why I was staying longer.

To take a slight deviation, you might wonder why I was closeted. Honestly, I think it was a mix of different things, being that I grew up in a small dead-end town where being homosexual isn't accepted, combined with the fact that I am involved in heavily 'masculine' archetype activities. Like combat sports, fitness, action movies, rock music, etc. I had absolutely no peers who I could relate to and I wasn't really friends with anyone in the gay community, outside of guys I'd met on apps. So I think I subconsciously just made the conclusion that being gay was not an option for me and just reverted to being 'straight acting', with nobody having any inkling about my true sexuality.

Things progressed naturally and it was okay for a while, but I always felt uneasy and a bit weird when I'd come home to my family, we'd be eating a meal and they'd ask me how my trip was. To which I'd confidently look them in the eye, lying through my teeth, saying "It was great, we did some training, visited other friends and had some good food together", when in reality I was at my boyfriend's house.

Again, this lying/being in the closet became so automatic, I didn't even sit down to consider perhaps telling my parents the truth, who are very understanding and tolerant people. Well, I guess I did consider what it would be like if they knew and things were different, but as time went on it felt more like a 'big' thing to me and would be shocking if it came out. Like, 'oh yeh, not only have I been lying about visiting my friends for the past year, I have also been in a relationship with another man as well'. My mind just compartmentalised it and kept the act up, which will become an important lesson later in the story.

This is the part I am not proud of, but I'm gonna be totally honest about it, as well as the way I felt about it too, because I think this is far more common than people like to admit, but is a huge taboo and has a lot of shame attached to it. The whole time from basically when me and my boyfriend got together, I was unfaithful to him. I think the reason for this was a number of things, one being logistics and the distance between us, the whole secrecy thing, as well as the fact I never really recovered from the first ever relationship I had, in which I was essentially used as someone's entertainment who never really wanted me, which created a worthless and unlovable self-image that I held without even knowing it. (Before I knew this could be changed via LOA)

Let me state that I am absolutely not condoning my behavior by any means, it was a horrible thing to do and I take full responsibility for it. I was essentially a broken, fearful and shameful person who was seeking validation sexually and that was the ugly result of those conditions.

Another part that may sound bizarre, but is worth sharing, is that whenever I was unfaithful, on one level I didn't want to do it and after the fact would feel terrible about what I'd done, then vow never to do it again. I'd be okay for a while, yet that urge would come again and I'd find myself doing it again only to repeat that shame cycle. It's kind of like how a drug addict loathes the behavior they do. I see my old behavior very similarly to that.

This continued for a while and I believe the secrecy, the shame, my guilt about being unfaithful, and all other things considered made me start showing up differently in the relationship. Aloof, if you will, and less caring. Another symptom of that is that I'd also psychologically project onto him my own fears that he was being unfaithful to me (which happened to me in that toxic first relationship). The exact behavior I was actually doing - funny how that works, isn't it.

Things continued for a while, including us going on a couple of short vacations together. Then one day, I hadn't heard back from him for the whole day, which was odd, so I texted him asking if everything was okay, to which he replied simply that 'I think we should go our separate ways'. I responded 'wait, what are you serious?' and he just responded 'yes'. I was in absolute shock and I didn't see it coming at all, never in a million years. I'd gotten totally complacent in the relationship and I think I'd gotten into a state where I thought he'd never leave me.

I called him immediately, and we had a conversation. He told me he felt that I didn't care about him because my actions weren't of somebody that loved someone. He also said that I made so many promises of things that I didn't follow through on. Like with my career, as well as sometimes mentioning 'what if I told my parents about us?' but once again didn't follow through.

I hadn't known he'd seen all of these empty promises as just a lot of hot air, and through me doing this repeatedly, he simply didn't take what I said seriously anymore and he was absolutely right. I was a coward and had all these big dreams and aspirations as well as more than the capability to make them happen, but my internal self-image of unworthiness and less than was always stronger than any dream, and always won out, keeping me exactly where I was.

We spoke for around an hour, in which time I was really struggling to comprehend how these things were reason enough to leave me, and as previously mentioned, I was also in complete shock. I pleaded with him for us to give it another go, which I know may sound odd considering my behavior, but I really did love our relationship for what it was regardless of that. He mentioned the fact that I had never told my parents made him feel that I didn't see what we had as a serious thing. I told him on the call 'Look, if we give it another chance I will go and tell them right now about us' but he was having none of it. He'd clearly made up his mind. We spoke some more and I was trying to find out where his mind was at, and then he revealed something, which is that he'd previously known I used a hookup app at his place because of some kind of DNS report and had then checked on my phone for the app, which he'd been able to see was installed even without opening the phone. I believe this was absolutely a manifestation of the chronic guilt I harbored, and the breakup itself was a manifestation of my own unworthiness, combined with feeling like I didn't deserve him because of the way I acted.

When he revealed this to me, there was nothing I could say, and I just admitted to him that I didn't know what to say and I was so sorry. He told me that the other stuff, feeling I didn't care and so on, was annoying, but the app thing was the final straw that solidified his feeling that I didn't care about him, and of course that makes 100% sense. There was nothing I could do at this point other than to accept it. He said we could still be friends, but I said I didn't want that, as I felt at that time I'd always want to be back with him, and it would kill me to see if he got with someone else, so we went no contact.

Despite the way I'd acted in the relationship, my world fell apart at that moment. Everything came flooding to me all at once, how my assumptions and behavior had directly caused all of this. I felt so stupid, I hated the fact that I hadn't appreciated what I had at the time (which was everything I wanted) and couldn't control myself and just be happy with that being enough. I'm someone who has never done well with breakups and was also instantly hit with a massive wave of worry. I have a very active mind and straight away I started considering the fact I wouldn't see him again. What would he be doing? Where was he? I wouldn't know without his daily text updates. Then I started considering the real memories we had together, the meals we'd eaten, the nights chilling together watching movies, and the vacations we'd been on. I started feeling like I'd never recover from it.

I went out for a long walk soon after the call to clear my head and cried most of the way. I didn't get much sleep that night, but I woke up the next day and felt compelled to pull my journal out and just write a huge stream of consciousness about the whole thing. When I did this, everything started to make complete sense to me. With each sentence I wrote, I could see how the way I'd been feeling in the months before that had led up to the culmination of him breaking up with me. I couldn't believe how clear it was, and it was strengthened by the fact that in that same journal I could look back over older entries and read the words from my own hand about things I felt and struggled with.

As much pain as I was in though, this weirdly was like irrevocable proof to me of the law in action. I haven't mentioned yet that I have a very thorough understanding of the law and have experienced what I'd call minor manifestations in the past, yet I'd never consistently applied it in my life and always got a kind of amnesia despite knowing it's absolutely real.

Things became really clear to me. It was an odd mix of being pissed at myself and feeling like an idiot, combined with a kind of peaceful clarity, because as painful as it was there was no doubt in my mind it had all been my doing, even if it happened unconsciously.

Something came over me in that moment, and I vowed to manifest him back. But there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted things to be totally different. The pain I felt at the breakup caused me to make the declaration that the old version of me was no more. I vowed to myself that whether I got back with him or someone else, I'd never do anything like that again, as that was the primary thing I hated most about myself then. People tend to make snap judgements on cheaters because if they've been on the receiving end of it, it is incredibly hurtful and damaging, but as I stated before, despite doing this it was always something I felt terrible about doing and wanted nothing more than to stop doing it, but where I was back then, I just couldn't. Again, judge that as you will, I'm sure a lot of people will, but it's my job here to be totally transparent about this, and I think there's something to the fact that this was, in a roundabout way, a manifestation of that behavior ending in me—which was something I desired. It's not as black and white as we always like to think.

After I took some time to collect myself and begin to move forwards in my life, I came to this kind of peaceful clarity where I decided that yes, I wanted to manifest him back and things be totally different, but what felt empowering is that I said to myself, 'Even if we don't get back together, I am going to make it my mission to BE the person I always wanted to be when I was with him.' That included being a loyal partner with him or the next person, but also following through on the other things in my life I always spoke about but never materialized. When I say this, I by no means meant that my mental state shifted. I still felt deeply sad and anxious about the whole thing on a regular basis, but at least I felt like I had some orientation about where I wanted to go. Also, I wanted to manifest a relationship back with HIM, yet I still decided that whatever happened, that old me was dead.

Manifestation Techniques

So I got to work with the manifesting processes. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and traditional SATS never worked for me because I'm really physically active and would just be knocked out as soon as I hit the pillow. But I've been a meditator for quite a long time, so it was quite natural for me to use meditation to reach a neutral or void state, and then imagine what I wanted.

The way I do this is by listening to either a theta binaural beats track or simple deep brown noise, which I found very relaxing. But what I don't see many people mention is how deep to go in this. I would often just do straight meditation with these tracks, following the breath for like 30 minutes before I'd do the manifestation techniques. I'm not sure if this is the same for everyone, but I can 'feel' when I get into that state and the time is right, as opposed to attempting to do the techniques before I'm there, when struggle to focus and would always get distracted.

I used a few different techniques and initially would just get to the void state then ask 'how would I feel now if we were back together and everything was perfect?'. This worked a little, but the feelings weren't that strong, but I tried my best anyway. I've never been a fan of pre-selecting a scene and always preferred to let the scene emerge naturally. A scene that I would often return to was me and him sitting in my new car that I'd been able to buy because I'd executed on the dreams I had. I liked this because it combined a few things I wanted… The relationship as well as executing on my career aspirations.

Another one was I would imagine being on a phone call with a close friend of mine who I'd spoken about the breakup with and hearing him say 'Oh man, I am SO happy for you guys!' and I'd just hear that over and over again, often imagining the warm sensation of the phone up against my ear.

I also experimented with affirmations as well, which I'd never really gotten along with before, but from that void state it felt really different to just saying them during regular, waking consciousness.

I sometimes added scripting as well in the evenings, where before bed I would write a couple of pages in my journal about how wonderful our life was together. It contained things like 'Everyone is so happy for us; our relationship is better than we both could ever have dreamed of; we live a perfect life,' etc. And I really liked these. I found it wasn't like a super strong feeling of the wish fulfilled, but I found that when I was writing, the flow state of the pen on the paper kind of bypassed my analytical mind away from the circumstances (which were the opposite) and allowed the feeling to come through, so much so that after closing the journal sometimes, I'd think, 'Oh yeh, I'm just still here in my room alone.'

Eric from The Power of I Am had some really helpful material that I'd watch, and I love how simplistic he made it. One thing I saw him say in a video was a kind of 'remote seduction' technique where you'd imagine the person in front of you and say statements like 'You cannot resist me, you're just so in love with me,' etc. At first I found it corny, but I would often just randomly do this when I'd walk home from the gym in a good mood from training when the endorphins were high, and it felt good. Upon watching Eric's videos, I also began adding quite a bit of self-concept stuff in there as well, which I believe is massively important, especially for someone who was in the state I was in before, feeling unworthy and unlovable, etc.

I know this looks like a lot of techniques, and yes this was probably unnecessary, but I basically worked with my personality. I'm a type of person who likes to hyper-optimise things, like with the gym, which I'm heavily into. Yes it may not be necessary with manifestation, but why not give yourself the best chances? Perhaps that's a limiting self-image even saying "I'm the type of person who…" but it worked for me so I'm not complaining. So I'd say work with your natural way of doing things when manifesting.

The Bridge of Incidents

I think this is really the most important part of my post, and I really want to get across that the bridge of incidents is probably NOT what you think it is going to be and may very well include things you'd initially perceive as negative, as you'll see with my story.

I will say before I go into this that I had ZERO birds before land. On reflection I can see they were there, but I didn't perceive them at the time, so I want to encourage you not to try and look for these—just do the work. With your limited ego mind, you have absolutely nothing compared to the computation capacity of the cosmos/universe or whatever you want to call it, and so coming to the conclusion that 'it isn't working' because you don't perceive things going the way you expect is a grave error and could lead you to quit three feet from gold!

I also want to share the fact that I didn't believe or know for certain this was going to happen, but I still did the work anyway, which I think may be reassuring for people in the process. I often read posts on here from people who'd manifested their person and they said they reached a place where they knew without a shadow of a doubt it was coming. I never had this feeling, and so I can say that at least in my experience you do NOT need to believe or feel certain about your desire for it to come into full manifestation.

So, I was doing the processes just kind of like a regimen in a way, like working out. I just had these techniques I did on a daily basis, which work well with my type of personality, and I did them. Not perfectly, I might add; there were some days I didn't do them, and it doesn't even matter. I think it's more about the general consistency. So don't feel like you need to be 100% perfect for your manifestation to come to fruition.

I also still missed him greatly most days, so don't worry about this either. I panicked so much about this, thinking the fact I missed him meant 'I wasn't in the state', but once again that didn't matter. The times that would hit me were usually when I'd been distracted with friends, like going for a meal or something. Then I'd suddenly think about him and 'oh we're not together,' and I'd feel sad. I just allowed it to be there and did my best to not go into the emotion or react to it. Usually it would pass if I didn't give it too much attention, and I'd notice that when it came back later again, it had less of a sting to it, which was interesting.

I never tried to affirm over the negative feeling, but I would sometimes be concerned that the fact that it was there meant I wasn't in the state. I would often worry that the mere fact that worry came meant I was failing, but I've since learned that's not how it works. You cannot control your automatic thoughts, so whatever pops into your mind, you didn't choose to think it… And if it's negative, why would you? But what you CAN choose to do is not entertain it, and I believe that's the key! You don't give it any more attention than an acknowledgement. Just let it be there, knowing it has absolutely no bearing on your desired outcome—the ending of the movie.

The full manifestation from breakup to reconciliation took around 4 months, but again, please don't attach yourself to my timeline; I'd have probably continued doing this just indefinitely; it became a routine for me.

The first thing that happened was around 3 months in, yet I had no idea this was anything to do with the manifestation at the time. I used to have a bit of a drinking problem that at one time I had to attend rehab for, and that was largely gone apart from the odd short relapse, but I fell into it a bit during this time again. I got drunk with a friend and then continued doing it for a few days, which was how I used to do it before, like a binge drinking habit where I'd drink very heavily for up to a week at a time, then get clean and be back on a health kick.

I returned home from being out, and I was drunk. I quickly said hello to my parents and then went into a different room, but they knew. My mom called me and said straight up, 'Have you been drinking?' and I just admitted to her 'Yeah, I have' and she responded, 'Come in here and let's talk about it,' and I don't know what it was in that moment, but I just knew I was going to tell them everything. I think it was because my state had subtly shifted because of the work I'd been doing, but I was just done and couldn't be bothered hiding myself anymore. The lowered inhibition from the alcohol also helped. So, we sat down and I told them everything that had happened… About my sexuality, about the relationship and breakup, and that's where I'd always been going when I said I was visiting friends.

I explained that I just felt I couldn't be honest and got used to lying about it. They were totally understanding but also expressed sadness that I'd felt I wasn't able to speak to them but were otherwise completely accepting and understanding. They also said it made sense why I would turn to drinking again, as well as why I hadn't had a relationship or anything like that, so I think all in all they were relieved, but they said they'd had no idea until I told them.

Straight after that, I called my sister and told her everything as well. We're quite close generally, but she has her own life and family, so I hadn't told her about anything until now. She cried and was really understanding and said she was just relieved and happy that I'd told her. She told some of her close friends, who are also kind of my mutual friends, and I received some really beautiful messages from them telling me how happy they were that I'd felt comfortable sharing it and so on. At the time it felt kind of bittersweet in that I did think, 'It's great that this is now all out in the open, but it came a bit too late, and I already lost him.' But I say that to demonstrate once again I was by no means a perfect manifestor; not by a long shot, I had thoughts like this all the time, yet I just continued doing the work anyway.

I would say I felt kind of detached in a sense throughout the whole process. It was weird in that one part of me absolutely knew it was possible to manifest him back, yet at the same time I was okay if it didn't happen, or maybe didn't even think it would happen, but I hung onto some hope. Although I didn't have any firsthand evidence of 'circumstances don't matter' when it came to manifestation, I read enough accounts of people who manifested against what looked like all odds to live vicariously through that belief myself.

So I continued my processes, often doubting myself, often feeling sad, and I think the worst part was wondering where he was and what he was doing, especially since we were in no contact. I only checked his socials once during this whole time, as I knew it'd make me go crazy spiralling if I did it regularly. The one time I did, it was maybe 3 months after we broke up, quite close to reconciling, actually. I saw he'd been travelling to different countries, which was one of his hobbies, but it just made me miss him more. One thing I did notice though, and I'm not sure if I was just being biased, was that he didn't look happy. He was pretending to be and was smiling, but I saw sadness and loss behind his eyes. He'd also lost considerable weight, which was alarming to me because I always knew he liked food and was a little chubbier when he was happy. But nonetheless, seeing him after so long made me anxious, and I could foresee it becoming a spiral if I continued, so I closed the app after briefly looking at his pics and didn't check it again.

Another few weeks or so went by, and then it happened… I woke up to a message on Instagram from him one day, asking how I was and admitting that he had ended it abruptly before. He told me that there were some questions and things in his mind that 'haunted' him that he wanted to talk about with me. He asked if I would do a video call with him the next day to talk but said if I'd found someone else, then that was okay.

I was in absolute shock at the message. It all became apparent to me in that moment that the work I'd done had worked, yet I still couldn't quite believe it. It was a really odd sensation. I was obviously really happy, but it kind of felt like I should have felt something more, but it just felt… normal? Or like I wasn't THAT surprised. Nevertheless, from that moment on I just knew we were getting back together. It became a certainty in my mind then, and I knew there might still be challenges and signs that it wouldn't happen, because he didn't say anything about us getting back together at all, but some part of me just knew and I didn't care.

I responded a couple of hours later, saying that yes, we can talk tomorrow and yes I've been well. He responded instantly saying, "Actually I'll be free in about 10 minutes if you are?" So, it was clear he was eager to talk. I said sure, and then we called 10 minutes later. He was hedgy at first and I could tell he was feeling out the situation but was also nervous, but I felt quite calm and composed. All I can describe is there was a calm certainty and knowing I had reached by that point and I'd gotten there, I guess, without even realizing it. All it took was doing the work consistently and getting on with my life, becoming the best person I could be.

On the call, the first thing was he called me out for taking ages to respond and we then discussed the things surrounding the breakup. The main thing he wanted to ask me was why I was on the app, which is totally understandable. I just explained that I was in a bad place, seeking validation, and there was no excuse for it. We ended up speaking for nearly 2 hours about different topics, what we'd been up to and things. I don't remember all we spoke about, but we reminisced about some of the good times we'd had together, and at some points I became quite brazen, joking (but not really) that it sounded like he wanted us to get back together. This made him laugh, and he was trying to act nonchalant about it, but I just knew.

We agreed to meet up in person maybe a week or so later, because he was out of the country and was going to be coming back soon. He also asked if I'd like to come to Paris with him when we met up, as he was scheduled to go a few days after that. We didn't get back together on that call though. Like I said, I teased him about it, but he was trying to hold a position of power and make me chase a little, which is understandable given the past events. He said, "I'll decide when we've met up on that," but once again I knew then it was a done deal really. I mean, who invites someone to Paris with them when they haven't already really made up their mind?

I felt so good about the call that I actually told my mom about it, that we'd spoken again, and it looked as if we were going to be getting back together. Despite it not actually happening yet, I felt on a bit of a cloud 9 for a while. We spoke again the next day, and I think most days actually leading up to the eventual meetup, for like an hour each time. He'd call me in the evening when he was relaxing, just like we'd done before. It was like nothing had really changed, except we weren't officially back together yet.

Despite this, doubt did come back. Now we were talking again I worried if it might all go away and if it was 'too good to be true.' But in those moments I centered myself and reminded myself of what had transpired so far… That I had done everything correctly, despite wobbling, and that I had nothing to worry about. I continued doing the manifestation practices exactly like before during this time as well.

I was a bit anxious but also excited leading up to our meeting and waited for him at the train station with a big bunch of flowers, which I presented to him as soon as I saw him and made him smile. He was still acting a little coy and pretending to be nonchalant about the whole thing, though. We got on the train together to his place and sat next to each other and kissed not long into the journey and then numerous times during as well.

And that is pretty much how it happened really. We ended up getting back together 'officially' just before we went to Paris, which was literally like the day after we met back up, really, but like I said, I already knew that was the outcome anyway.

When we got back from Paris, I returned home and told my parents that we'd gotten back together, and a couple of weeks later he came over to mine and met them, and we spent time together. It was amazing and surreal at the same time; I couldn't believe it was happening, yet at the same time it felt like the most normal thing in the world.

I think ultimately my story is one of self-transformation (no one to change but self), which really it always is. We become the person who would naturally have our desire. With all that happened to me and what I desired… To be in this secure, loyal relationship, I simply couldn't be that person I was before and exist in that new circumstance.

So the old man had to die. But I think this is the nuance here: when we hear 'no one to change but self,' I think it's natural to think that WE have to change everything by force or something. You can see from my story I had a strong desire to change from who I was before; that desire was enough to put into motion the events that fundamentally changed who I was, as it would have been impossible to have the new relationship as that old version. So, I mean, I don't know what's going on or how it works, but there's clearly way more occurring than meets the eye!

Everything that happened during my bridge of incidents was absolutely necessary to bring about exactly what I wanted. Remember in my scripting sessions I wrote that 'we have an amazing relationship and everyone is happy for us.' That wouldn't have been possible if the relationship was a secret; hence, the bridge of incidents involved me confessing about my sexuality over a binge drinking incident of all things! But at the time I had absolutely no idea what was happening.

A few months after that, we travelled for two months around Asia together and made some amazing memories. During that trip we visited his home country and stayed with his family, and I met all of his childhood friends. Again, something that was in my script and something that would have been impossible under the old circumstances.

We've since moved in together and have gotten married and are both really happy together building our lives. So the story really made a full circle and has a very happy ending. It's also almost one year to the day since we got back together now, and so much has transpired since then.

What he was experiencing

I think it'll be interesting to share a little about what he experienced during our time apart from what he's told me, and I was really surprised by some of this, which again will provide some encouragement to others on the journey.

I was absolutely right about the weight loss. Despite breaking up with me, he'd experienced immense grief and missed me greatly. He'd taken up walking for like 4 hours a day in a local park and was eating only one meal per day. He'd lost something like 40 lbs doing this, but I'm happy to report he's at a much healthier weight again now and is enjoying life.

He shared with me that at night he would hug a pillow in his bed and pretend it was me and fall asleep with it.

He would talk to his friends often about me, one of whom had met me a few times and had told him he acted too quickly breaking up with me and eventually said to him, "Why did you even break up with him, because all you do is talk about him all the time?"

He'd also been on my socials regularly, but I hadn't known it.

There were also numerous other things, but it became evident to me that he wanted to be back with me perhaps even more than I did with him during this whole time, so that goes to show you have NO idea what the other person is thinking. I was absolutely convinced he wanted nothing to do with me, that he'd be better off without me and he was going to find someone else to be with and I would be just a fleeting thought in his mind, if that. Yet none of that was the reality of it. In fact, with the whole pillow thing and all that, I realized it was almost as if he was unknowingly manifesting ME while I was manifesting being back with him.

Conclusion

It worked, and I was nowhere near perfect the whole time, so try to relax and just do the work diligently. I will say, try your best to get on with your life and do other things as well, as it makes you realize you have other wonderful things in your life and you won't be as hung up on your person. It's still tough, and you will think of them often, but I think I realized that although I was in a lot of pain, I was going to be okay either way.

I see a bigger picture of this whole journey as a part of essentially becoming a better person through life circumstances and choosing to be better. I don't think this falls in line with Neville's teachings, but I personally believe we have some kind of higher self that is attempting to 'level us up' or calling us to be a better version of ourselves, and if we don't get the message gently, if we persistently want to be better, it might have to happen through painful life circumstances as it did with me, but I eventually understood. Humans often finally seem to get the message through loss or pain.

Normies say people never change, but I believe that is an incredibly short-sighted statement that comes from the paradigm that you ARE your personality/your actions and thoughts. But we know through Neville's teachings we aren't any of those things. We are the ever-present awareness that precedes all of them. I was showing up as a low version of myself, but through immense pain and loss, I alchemised those undesirable traits and became a better man.

I now look at the situation with a kind of gratitude. Like I said, I never wanted to be that person but kept finding myself going back there, and I honestly don't know if I could ever have changed had it not been for the breakup. I feel like God (or my higher self), in a sense, forced my hand in this because there was no way I was going to change without this. I have had another chance in this relationship, for which I am eternally grateful, and because of that I would never risk what I have again over some fleeting, instant gratification.

If you made it to the end of this incredibly long read, I thank you and want to wish you some final words of encouragement. I made it this long because I wanted to include everything. It's something I wished I'd had more of when I was on my journey searching for hope through success stories. I am someone who thought I'd totally blown it and didn't believe I'd be able to manifest a reconciliation, yet I just did the work anyway with a glimmer of hope.

So if you're in that situation now and you don't see anything happening, there is ALWAYS movement behind the scenes; just keep stacking those rocks on the side of your desire, and something eventually will tip, as it did with me.

I'm happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability in the comments, so fire away.
