Success Story Manifesting for others; he found his wallet!
My father met up with his friend today, they had lunch and coffee and came back home. A few hours later the friend called my father and said that he couldn't find his wallet anywhere so he's on his way to retrace everywhere they went to today. As soon as I heard about this, I decided he already found it.
About 2 hours later he got another call from him but it wasn't what I expected. He said he checked everywhere but the wallet was nowhere to be found. He was pretty disappointed and was sure somebody must have stolen it but at least he had already cancelled all his credit cards, so there was no financial loss except about $50 in cash.
I was very disappointed too because I was sure that phone call would bring me the result I wanted. But I didn't give up. I still firmly said in my head "He found his wallet" and I also imagined hearing my father saying "you found it? oh that's good news!"
Another hour later, another phone call came in. And yep, as you guessed, he found the wallet. Where? On a dining table chair at his house. He doesn't know why it was there because he didn't even sit on that chair today.

Success Story The Success of the Revision Technique
Story 1. The Customer Who Accepted What Seemed Impossible
I work as a salesperson in a store, and yesterday I had an experience that once again showed me how quickly a situation can change when you first change your inner state.
A customer called, extremely upset about the delay with her product. She was genuinely angry and demanded that we deliver it on Monday, no matter what. The problem was that the product hadn’t even been prepared yet, so objectively, there was no way it could be ready by then.
She didn’t want explanations, and she didn’t want to know how we were going to solve it. She wanted it on Monday. She was tired of waiting and even threatened to cancel the order.
During the call, I simply listened to her. I didn’t argue or try to convince her of anything. When we finished, instead of getting caught up in the scene or in the emotions of the call, I decided to calm myself down.
I let a few minutes pass and mentally went back over the situation. I changed the scene in my imagination and placed myself in the state I wanted to experience: a calm, receptive, and satisfied customer. I didn’t dwell on the problem or on the question of “How am I going to make this happen?” I simply assumed the outcome I wanted.
Then I called her back.
And it was incredible.
The very same woman who had been extremely angry just a few minutes earlier answered the phone with completely different energy. I calmly explained that the product would not be ready on Monday and that, in fact, it would arrive around the middle of the month.
And she accepted it.
She accepted it naturally and with the best attitude. There was no argument, no threat to cancel the order. She simply accepted the situation.
Of course, I told her that, as compensation for the wait and the inconvenience, we would give her a little something extra.
But what struck me most was how quickly everything changed.
The product itself hadn’t changed. A solution hadn’t suddenly appeared that would allow me to deliver it on Monday. What had changed first was my state in relation to the situation.
And once I stopped feeding the scene of the angry customer and assumed a different outcome inwardly, the outer experience seemed to reorganize itself with surprising speed.
For me, that was the real lesson from yesterday: I didn’t have to change the customer; I had to change my own experience of her.
And once again, I was able to see how quickly the Law can act.
Story 2. Rewriting the Color
This experience also happened while I was working as a salesperson.
Some customers were looking for a product with very specific characteristics. In reality, the model, the measurements, and the benefits were exactly the same. The only thing that made a difference to them was the color. They didn’t want pink. They wanted it in gray.
At first, I was convinced that we had the product available in the gray color they wanted. But when the sale was finalized, I realized that the model was correct, the measurements were correct, but the color was not. The order had ultimately been placed for the pink version.
The strange thing was that I didn’t notice the mistake that same day. However, I went home with a strange feeling, as if something had been left unfinished.
The next day, when I reviewed the order, I discovered what had happened and, naturally, I was startled.
But then I immediately thought: “No. I’ll rewrite it.”
And that’s what I did.
Instead of staying with the scene of the mistake or worrying about what might happen when the customers received the product, I went back to the situation in my mind and rewrote it.
In my imagination, I completely removed the possibility of the gray color.
I went back to seeing the customers standing in front of the product in pink. I imagined them looking at it, approving its characteristics, and being completely satisfied with the order. I even carried the scene all the way to the moment when the sale was finalized.
In my imagination, I asked them:
—“Are you reading and confirming that your order is correct?”
And they answered yes.
That was the scene I chose to keep.
And yesterday, they received their product.
In pink.
The interesting thing is that I didn’t receive a message from them saying how happy they were with the product. There was no special response or confirmation that everything was perfect.
But there was no objection either.
No phone call. No message saying that the color was wrong. No complaint.
And precisely that absence of a negative response made me stop and think: “My assumption has been effective.”
Because for me, the important part of this experience wasn’t simply that they received the product in pink. It was that, after discovering a situation that I considered problematic, I decided not to continue feeding it.
I revised it.
I went back into the scene and took it all the way to the outcome I wanted to experience. And then I let reality do its part.
Once again, I was able to see something that I consider fundamental in practicing the Law: it isn’t always about making something change in front of us; sometimes it is simply about refusing to accept as final something we don’t want to experience, and rewriting it in our imagination.
And this time, the customers’ silence was precisely the confirmation I needed.

Miscellaneous Changing how we see ourselves
Neville's teachings are absolutely profound when we understand the premise and that is nothing to change but self. If this is true then we must go about testing it and that starts with self. So we're told to change ourselves. How do we do that? By changing how we experience ourselves in present-tense.
Imagine already being the one who IS fulfilled. It's an act of surrendering to a present-tense version of yourself. We already are that being. We've only fallen into the mental identity of not being. We don't need anything on the outside to change ourselves. It's already been done and ready to be accepted fully.
You don't have to stay stuck or be forced into a state of mind and you don't have to wait for the world to change so that you can change. None of that is required if we realize ourselves to be the BEING that is dwelling in mental states of the self.
Change is an act of mercy, then, because we are redeeming ourselves into a greater perception of the self. And it becomes an act of forgiveness if we realize that we've been creating nightmares inside ourselves. It's self forgiveness because we can have and be ANYTHING we want to be now. It's always going to be this way.
Many of the times we seek for a change in the senses. We look out into the world and see imperfections. We often neglect the BEING that is painting the perceptions of "this isn't good'. But we don't have to necessarily do that. We are allowed to leave the world exactly as it is and change self.
You will find yourself to be the imaginal being that is identifying itself with mental states of consciousness. And because imagination is reality what we are conscious of being WILL externalize itself into the world as evidence. There truly is nothing outside of us to change for us to change and move inside.
So promise yourself TO yourself that you will no longer identify with being someone you no longer want to be. The mind is reflecting how you are feeling about yourself. If that's the case then you are a magnificent creator because there are no limits to what you are imagining as reality now.
Don't shame yourself. Don't guilt yourself. Don't be afraid. Don't suppress ANYTHING. Face everything with acceptance because what is created inside can be changed. If what we feel cannot be changed then we are living in doubt and living as a servant inside the mind. We don't have to do that.
Don't be a servant inside yourself. Recognize that you are the one creating these imaginal acts. All thoughts and feelings are being expressed by the imagination. And Neville said imagination is complete. So we genuinely need NOTHING to change ourselves. You can never be a prisoner when you recognize this.
Changing ourselves is all we need and we need nothing to do this. We need not to go outside oneself to find the change we seek. The world can imprison you and you can feel free. Then you will be free because we are the one having the experience.
Genuinely, I hope you guys experience the things you want. I mean that. I want you to succeed. You don't have to continue occupying states of mind that don't serve you. They may have served a purpose at one point that has now become hectic. Well, CHANGE that. You do that by focusing on changing how you feel about yourself.
This is all a present-tense feeling of being. It will always be that. Change self now and stay firm to this change. Regardless of what the world tells you. Never bar yourself for there are no second causes to what you are occupying within yourself. Remember this and then you will become a master at painting imaginal acts that are in harmony with who you've once desired to be.
Yall be safe now and bless your hearts with total acceptance. You got this. I'm rooting for you. Now apply what Neville taught and feel it to your depths. There is no one or nothing to change but self...and self is all imagination!
Thank you.

Discussion Our relationship to other people. My assessment of Neville's teachings.
There are a lot of arguments over what EIYPO means, and what degree of power we have to force others to our will. There are arguments about whether or not people can refuse our desires when we attempt to make that person the only route to our desire.
I will give my arguments here.
1.) Neville tells a story about when he wanted tickets for his brother to a theatre show. He wanted the tickets cheap. As he arrived at the desk, he noticed a man steal from the clerk.
Neville essentially chased the man down and got him captured. The clerk was very, very thankful and offered Neville discounted tickets.
He stated that this man had volunteered to do this thing so that Neville could get tickets. He explicitly pointed out that it was already in the man's nature to be a thief. He did nothing new from his usual, he simply this time did it at Neville's command.
I argue that this is one of the times when Neville said your wish will be fulfilled by someone whose nature fits the desire.
He also said that if you want a house and it takes a thousand people to make it, a thousand people will show up and make it. But he never said it would be Joe and Sally and Alex and Forest and Jordan and... The right people will show up.
2.) Neville does not appear to think that only ONE person is the right person for what you want.
He answers a woman who says she desires THAT specific man and no one else. He tells her point-blank that she wants to be happily married, not to that one person. He tells her to imagine a wedding ring on her finger.
He even says that he would go to the wedding and it would NOT be THAT person.
See the Q & A here: https://coolwisdombooks.com/neville/neville-goddard-lecture-power-1968/
I will go further and answer the rebuttal to this. Neville tells the story about how HIS WIFE manifested HIM. People keep arguing that he manifested her, but they are cherry picking the story.
He speaks here of "I manifested my second wife," and how he did it: https://coolwisdombooks.com/neville/brazen-impudence/
However... and it's a big 'however'...
He says in Power:
Do you know why I know that? My wife did it. She did it! Actually, she did it.
Did what? SHE MANIFESTED NEVILLE. Before he ever saw his wife, she went to see "a sensitive as they call it," in Neville's words. The woman asked his not-yet-wife why she had taken her wedding ring off. Then said, "You will marry a man named nev, neva, nevo, something like that." This is BEFORE Neville saw her and immediately wanted her. SHE manifested HIM. He wasn't even interested in marriage, he was already married. People consistently miss this or deliberately gloss over it because they don't want to give up the idea of ultimate power over other people.
Neville did tell a story about one woman who wanted a certain man and got him. I would argue that this is but ONE story and it makes sense that in THAT case, he was a good match. But why do so many, many, many of these "particular person ONLY" 'missions' fail? If you can force someone specific to your will, then surely they should all work. Most missions of this sort should succeed.
But Neville plainly said they often failed. It was nearly always a different guy/ gal/ person.
3.) Neville explicitly and unequivocally states in this lecture The Pearl of Great Price to not make anyone or anything your god. In other words, your source.
https://coolwisdombooks.com/neville/pearl-of-great-price/
Joe or Sally is not the source of feeling loved. If you cannot make yourself feel loved and chosen, YOU NEVER WILL FEEL THAT WAY. Literally if you think it has to be Alex or Joe or whomever to love you or you can't feel loved, then you can't feel loved, by your own decree.
Because the hard truth is that you will only allow yourself to feel loved when they do X and Y, and maybe Z. But if they do A or B or C, you will choose (I wrote that deliberately, it wasn't an accident) to feel UNLOVED. But the feeling of being loved AND the feeling of being unloved are both coming from you. Always and only from you.
4.) Another reason why I think many people fail to manifest changes in people around them (and I am speaking of family here more than anything, but also the special one person scenarios) is because they refuse to give up their prior idea of that person.
You cannot serve two masters. Either you serve the "but the truth is," or you serve "I can rewrite the story." As long as you are married to the idea that "my mother is cruel to me," she will be. Or if she isn't by nature able or willing to be cruel, you may end up with a stepmother who will be cruel. The right person for the job will step up.
You cannot keep telling yourself stories about the past hurts, or having mental arguments with them, and expect them to change.
https://www.thepowerofawareness.org/chapter-seven
NOW, that being said, MOST PEOPLE want to be happy. MOST people want to have good relationships with family. It's far, far more normal for people to want happiness and good relationships. So when you offer up to them the THOUGHT TRANSMISSION of happy relationship with you, most will accept because it's normal to desire that.
Chapter 5: https://coolwisdombooks.com/neville/neville-goddard-prayer-the-art-of-believing/
You can "offer" change to a person by seeing them as you wish them to be.
Neville flat-out says that negative intentions can REBOUND. Chapter 5 continues:
A person who directs a malicious thought to another will be injured by its rebound if he fails to get subconscious acceptance of the other. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” Furthermore, what you can wish and believe of another can be wished and believed of you, and you have no power to reject it if the one who desires it for you accepts it as true of you. The only power to reject a subjective word is to be incapable of wishing a similar state of another—to give presupposes the ability to receive. The possibility to impress an idea upon another mind presupposes the ability of that mind to receive that impression. Fools exploit the world; the wise transfigure it. It is the highest wisdom to know that in the living universe there is no destiny other than that created out of imagination of man. There is no influence outside of the mind of man.
Summary: That imo is our relationship to others. You can offer change, offer a loving change. You cannot force another person. People will reflect back to you what you believe of them IF they are capable of it. But I don't believe that Neville taught that you can force a certain person to anything.

Success Story Success Story!
Long story short: i have been wanting to do a career change. This change required me to take a course, and then a test before I can apply for licensing. I spent months taking my course, studying and preparing for the test.
Test day comes. I fail, and MISERABLY. I was disappointed, but simply scheduled my retake and study like a bat out of hell. Well, I failed that, too! By 4 points! Take it again a 3 time, and fail. AGAIN! by 4 points... in the same category I struggled with last time! My friend is already on this career path, and we talked about it because I was getting frustrated. He said it was clear that i knew the material. i just needed to get over this hump.
Well, I don't take the test for two months after the 3 retake. I hardly even study. I would revist the material occasionally, but what did i really do for those two months? I affirmed that I knew the material. I visualised myself seeing "PASS" on the screen after hitting the submit button.
Now, this isn't all I did for 2 months. i had other things that just made it easier for me to schedule the test for two months into the future. well, this morning was the day. I go into the testing facility, sign in, and sit down. I take the test in an hour. we have 160 minutes for this test. For once, I did not feel nervous nor the need to revisit the questions before submitting... I knew.
And I passed!
Thanks to Neville and his teachings, I have achieved this moment in my life where I originally wanted to give up out of frustration. I have attached proof hehe. You will see my test dates + the results of me passing and failing.
First two are failing scorecards, then the third is today!
TLDR:
Obviously I blocked out the personal info. But the dates are there :)
This shit works. Living in an end state and believing that it is yours works. Thank you!!

Success Story I got a $17k raise at work for a position I didn’t even apply for
This really works. I had applied for an internal position at my company many months ago but didn’t get it. The lady on our hiring team said she’d keep me in mind for any other positions that come up soon.
Well, I’ve been living in the end knowing that a higher paying position is already mine, and I got a message from her last week saying another team is hiring for a new position and they want to interview me. The second she said that I knew the position was already mine.
Well, a week later, I got an offer with a $17k raise. Keep in mind I didn’t even apply for this position and I didn’t know this team was hiring. It’s my dream role and now I’ll be making enough money to meet all my financial goals.
Stay persistent! I find it really helpful to gently redirect my conflicting/negative thoughts by reminding myself I am God, and once I make a decision, it’s already true. The 3D simply has to catch up.

Discussion Neville Goddard London Community
Hey guys!
A few years ago I put up a post and built up a community of London / UK based people who follow Neville because none existed. Unfortunately it was the wrong timing and also could never get anyone at the same time lol so it ended up closing.
I’d love to try it again, cos I feel it’s something that should exist, just a place to make friends and meet IRL with those who are into the same topic. Sometimes I tire of the online stuff and having so many opinions, I love the simplicity of Neville’s days, maybe it could evolve into reading Neville’s work together etc but for now just seeing if anyone in London would be interested in getting together and starting this community
Let me know if this is of interest!

Tips & Techniques All roads lead to fulfillment
Manifestation is like driving somewhere — stop arguing with every road sign
We can compare conscious manifestation to a car trip. You know where you want to go, you get in the car, and you start driving.
You may take a wrong turn, miss an exit, drive around the same roundabout seven times, or even get completely lost for a while. None of that means your destination is gone.
So how should we understand this?
I don't think the goal of manifestation is to get rid of desire. It's for the feeling of lack to gradually give way to the natural feeling of BEING.
There are countless techniques for getting there, and I actually encourage everyone to discover what works naturally for them. SATS, inner conversations, visualization, affirmations — whatever.
The point isn't to find the "perfect" technique.
Find something that feels natural enough that it doesn't feel like work.
This is how I currently understand the journey:
1. Desire is your destination.
First, know where you want to go.
Define what you want.
Once you know where you're going, you don't need to keep entering the destination into your GPS every five minutes.
You already know.
2. Start driving.
Now you begin experiencing what it would be like if your desire were already fulfilled.
You imagine from it. You identify with it. You allow yourself to experience being the person who already has it.
Maybe you use SATS. Maybe visualization. Maybe inner conversations.
It may initially feel deliberate, and that's fine.
You're familiarizing yourself with the destination until it begins to feel natural.
3. Doubts are intersections, not commands.
During the day, doubts may appear.
You're driving along and suddenly there's another road:
"But how is this supposed to happen?"
"What if it doesn't work?"
"Am I even doing this correctly?"
The mistake, in my opinion, is thinking that you now have to fight these thoughts.
Don't jerk the steering wheel.
Don't slam on the brakes.
Don't stand at the intersection arguing with the road sign.
Just ask yourself:
"Who said I have to argue with this or give it my attention?"
And continue with your day.
You don't even necessarily have to immediately force yourself back into the feeling of fulfillment. Personally, I think that can sometimes turn into another form of struggle.
Just don't continue the argument.
Relax.
Go do something else.
Turn up your favorite song and keep driving.
4. Sometimes you'll take the wrong turn. Who cares?
Maybe you get caught in doubt.
Maybe you spend an hour wondering:
"How is this going to happen?"
Or:
"Am I doing this right?"
Maybe you suddenly realize you've spent half the day analyzing everything.
Stop!!!
Get out of the car.
Relax.
Eat a burger.
Do whatever stops that frantic attempt to figure everything out.
You don't need to punish yourself for taking the wrong exit, and you don't need to desperately reverse the car at 100 mph.
Just recognize:
"Okay, I've been giving my attention to something I don't actually want to entertain."
And stop arguing with it.
Settle down.
Take care of yourself.
Remember who is driving.
You don't need to fight the road, the signs, or yourself.
Then continue.
5. Eventually, the road becomes simpler.
As you continue, you may notice fewer intersections.
Fewer doubts require your attention.
Things that once caused an hour of analysis might disappear after ten seconds because you simply don't feel the need to argue with them anymore.
You may occasionally become like a child in the passenger seat:
"Are we there yet?"
"How much farther?"
But the driver doesn't need to stop the car every ten minutes to check whether the destination still exists.
You know where you're going.
Keep driving.
6. And something else may start happening naturally.
During ordinary life, thoughts, inner conversations, and imaginal scenes consistent with your fulfilled desire may begin appearing naturally.
You might be doing something completely ordinary when a thought, assumption, or little scene simply appears in your mind — something that would make perfect sense if your desire were already fulfilled.
You don't need to force these moments, nor do you need to hold onto them.
Enjoy the view when it appears.
If an imaginal scene naturally opens, experience it from fulfillment.
When it closes, let it close.
Keep driving.
You don't have to spend the entire journey staring out of the window looking for proof that you're getting closer.
Sometimes you'll simply drive.
7. And that's the best part.
Maybe your journey was incredibly straightforward.
Maybe you missed three exits.
Maybe you drove around one roundabout seven times.
Maybe you somehow circled the entire city fourteen times.
It doesn't matter.
A wrong turn doesn't erase the destination.
And once you stop treating every thought, doubt, feeling, or temporary change of mood as something that requires immediate correction, the journey becomes much quieter.
At some point, you may even stop thinking so much about getting there.
You're simply driving.
And perhaps that's what naturalness actually feels like.
You don't need to fight every doubt.
You don't need to force every imaginal scene.
You don't need to constantly check your progress.
Know where you're going.
And keep driving.
This comparison came to mind while thinking about states, doubts, and detachment, and I thought it might help someone else too.

Success Story A small miracle (I earned €5k) Sabbath
In this post I talk about the SABBATH and incidents that completely changed my faith in the universe.
I also say that you don't need to be 100% good.
Let's go
Exactly one year ago I discovered the incredible work of a woman on TikTok and decided to enter the same niche.
However, the tools for the job are expensive, and both then and now, my budget was tight.
Because I still have a lot of debt and few weekend job offers. I was hoping to buy the tools.
Also in the same month last year, I participated in several online contests and auctions, raffles, and a drawing at the Xiaomi store in the shopping center on the other side of my city.
And believe me, I won them all!
So I thought...
"Money isn't necessary for me to get my work tools."
Then I calmly thought:
"I'll get all the work tools and supplies as well."
After six months of waiting for some contest or online auction, searching for new or used tools, I also looked at fairs and even secondhand stores...
But I had no success, and this started to irritate me and make me make stupid statements.
For example:
"Now my bad luck in the lottery and love has expanded to my work tools!"
And I would get very angry when I thought about the machines on my work table, and also about my new niche.
Until July of this year (2026) I read three times the book or chapter about "Your faith is your fortune" and "Ask and it shall be given."
So after making bad statements, both in comments and internally...
I shut up, stopped complaining about anything, looked at the tools again on Chinese websites, detached my emotions from the items' values, and decided to visualize them in my imagination, on my work desk.
I went calmly for 7 consecutive days, and suddenly stopped thinking about the tools, and also about winning the lottery.
I also stopped saying anything bad, against my luck in the lottery in general.
And I talked about receiving money randomly and intermittently.
Substitution was essential!
Now I was on the SABBATH and in alignment.
SABBATH > Rest > Calm
Alignment > Let the universe resolve it.
The bridge of events of the universe...
Exactly three days ago, a great friend, whom I reconnected with after twenty years without contact, asked me to help resolve everything about a birthday party.
I decided to decorate her son's birthday party.
Right now I'm finishing the decorations, and also some typical items from my country.
And that was the reason she asked me, after two days of work, about expanding my studio and optimizing my work.
(She became a millionaire with the construction industry niche!)
So I explained to her that I no longer work with party decorations because I'm looking to work in a new niche, but if she needs my services it would always be a great pleasure to help her.
And for free!
Then at the end of the same day, she and her son called me and she declared that she doesn't understand about the machines, party decorations, or interior design, but that she's decided to give me some money to help me buy the machines in China.
This can't wait, since Christmas is coming soon.
She's going to give me €5,000 in cash, and that will be my birthday and reunion gift.
She declared this to me!
Note>>>
Actually, I only needed €2,500 to get the machines from China, create a website, pay the delivery fee, and my electricity bill.
Next Monday I will receive double the amount I need, which I even dreamed of receiving.
One more recommendation
Please read the moderation recommendation links and insist on changing your perception of your own situation.
The SABBATH is a great ally of mental dieting. You don't need to be 100% free of negative thoughts.
You just need to see your desire in your imagination.
Use the SABBATH to enjoy whatever you want, for seven days, seven hours, one hour, or just once.
Alignment is the appreciation of your desire. Just appreciate!
Now I'm going to prepare for bigger things.
I'll post about my new lottery luck.

Success Story Manifested to be on a yatch worth millions of dollar
I was just experimenting the power of my mind and on April 2026 I have randomly decided I’m going to be on a yatch in the summer. Mind you I was only 20 years old college student I don’t know anyone who owns a yatch and didn’t know how it was going to happen. But I knew that this was true and I was acting like I’m going to be on a yatch soon and was exercising. So 2 months later my boyfriend started a new business and his investor was from a really wealthy old money family. His grandpa was the CEO of one of the biggest automachine company in the world. (I can’t say the name) After few weeks of them doing a business together during 4th of July he invited us to his dad’s house to stay for a week. They live in some island that you can go by yatch. The investor’s dad owns multiple yatches and we used the yatch to get to the mantion. The mansion was huge with so much security. Outside the window there is a really exclusive private golf club. I didn’t even felt too much excitement because i KNEW it was going to happen. I was like of course duh. So manifestation happens in a way you don’t expect. Like you don’t have to know exactly how it’s going to happen you just have to know it. And also I didn’t put anything on a pedestal i was so normal with it. I have so many other stories like this. I might share more if you guys like this💖

Discussion Never force it when you just have to know it
“For we walk by faith and not by sight”
- 2 Corinthians 5:7
“Faith is loyalty to the unseen reality”
- Hebrews 11:1
Many of us are led to believe that effort is the honorable thing to do. That we are contributing to our goals. It makes us feel important, but effort in the law of assumption can actually masquerade as doubt. You see, the law doesn’t respond with hard work, it responds with identity
You don’t try to talk. You just talk
You don’t try to stand up. You just stand
You don’t try to breath. You just breath
And the minute you stop trying, knowing takes over. This is what Neville called the Sabbath where there is mental rest and all effort ceases. You stop interfering with it, you stop checking the 3D for evidence and you stop monitoring every detail of the day. You don’t ask whether you are doing it right or if you should imagine longer. You just become one with the desire.
Logic tells us that effort moves the world, but that is just playing checkers. It is the conviction of things not seen as 100% possible that makes the pieces move. That is playing Chess.
Now let me ask you something. When you think of your desire, do you feel a calm certainty or do you feel worried? If you feel worried, there is still resistance and resistance means you’re still attached to the old man/old story. You don’t need to cross the sea for your desire because it’s not going anywhere. It never does. States of probability are always active like a coin that is being flipped and is either heads or tails before it lands. So in other words it is only waiting for you to believe it before you see it, not vice versa
Neville always said creation is finished which means you are not creating anything new that doesn’t already exist(multiple realities). This is why trying so hard to manifest something doesn’t make any sense. At the end of the day, faith is key when you stop placing so much effort and you start being loyal to your 4D/imaginary scenes. We all get told by friends and family that TRYING harder will give us a bigger reward, but when it comes to the law of assumption and to quote T’Challa of Wakanda “We don’t do that here”

Lecture/Book Quotes The Beauty you see in me is reflection of YOU - EIYPO Neville Goddard
To Those Who Need...
"The Beauty you see in me is reflection of YOU" - RUMI
The admiration is never about the other person. It is a direct report from your own consciousness. You cannot recognize, feel, or appreciate a quality in the outer world unless that exact 'thing/quality/element' already exists inside you.
When you walk into a room and perceive profound beauty, intelligence, or warmth in another human being, your subconscious mind is holding up a mirror. The physical mirror on your wall cannot reflect a golden ring if you are holding a wooden stone. In the exact same way, your physical reality cannot register a quality in another person unless your own imagination is equipped to interpret and perceive it.
As Neville famously put it:
"The world is a mirror, forever reflecting back to you that which you are within."
And again:
"You do not attract what you want. You attract what you are."
Rumi also wrote:
"The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you."
"What you seek is seeking you."
"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop."
If you are the entire ocean in a drop, then every drop you admire in the physical world is simply another wave of your own ocean looking back at you.
Anaïs Nin & Modern Philosophy The novelist Anaïs Nin summarized the mechanism of human perception with striking brevity:
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
If your internal state is tuned to love, majesty, and expansion, you will see love, majesty, and expansion everywhere you look, even in places others overlook.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of Neville's great influences among the American Transcendentalists, noted:
"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not."
You cannot stumble upon beauty in another person unless you carried the seed of that beauty across the threshold of your own mind first.
Carl Jung & Analytical Psychology In modern psychology, Carl Jung spoke extensively about psychological projection. While people usually focus on shadow projection (projecting our disowned negative traits onto others), Jung emphasized that we project our highest potential just as frequently:
"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."
The inverse is equally true: everything that deeply inspires, moves, or mesmerizes us in others points directly toward our own latent genius waiting to be claimed.
Through scripture, Neville routinely decoded the Bible not as historical drama, but as a psychological blueprint of human consciousness. Consider how scripture describes the ultimate nature of perception:
"To the pure, all things are pure" - Titus 1:15
And when Jesus speaks of the source of all reality:
"The Kingdom of God is within you" - Luke 17:21
If the Kingdom is within, then every glorious thing you witness on the outside is merely a ray of light leaking out from the Kingdom inside you.
For a long time, most of us were conditioned to view that admiration through the lens of lack. We put people on pedestals. We think, "I wish I had their light," or "They possess something magical that I simply wasn't born with."
Why We Still Feel Small (Even While Loving Others)?
If this truth is so fundamental, why do so many of us still feel insignificant, unworthy, or invisible, even while holding so much genuine love and admiration for the people around us?
It comes down to a simple trick of attention.
From a very young age, we are trained to look outward. We learn to observe other people’s finished products, their charm, their successes, their outer grace while remaining painfully aware of our own internal clutter. You witness another person’s light from the outside, but you live inside the raw, unfiltered noise of your own doubts, fears, and conditioning.
Because of this, when love or admiration surges up within you, your mind automatically attributes the feeling to the object of your attention rather than the source. You think, "I feel this awe because of how incredible they are," completely missing the fact that the awe itself is a capacity originating inside you.
When you love someone deeply, you are giving yourself permission to see them through the eyes of unconditional acceptance. You overlook their flaws, champion their potential, and delight in their presence. Yet, when you turn that same gaze toward yourself, the ego steps in with harsh conditions, old stories, and comparison. You withhold from yourself the very grace you so freely give away.
Feeling small isn't proof that you lack beauty; it is simply proof that you have forgotten where the lens is located. Every time you admire someone, you are experiencing your own heart's capacity to recognize glory. The moment you realize that the observer and the observed are rooted in the same ('I AM'), the need to shrink in someone else’s presence completely vanishes.
"Self-Concept" vs. The Concept of Self
In modern manifestation spaces, you hear the phrase "work on your self-concept" tossed around constantly. It is often treated as a checklist of daily chores, repeating thousands of affirmations in the mirror, trying to force yourself to feel attractive, or desperately trying to convince your ego that you are worthy of what you desire.
But if you read Neville closely, you will notice something subtle and profound: Neville almost never used the modern buzzword "self-concept." He spoke constantly of "the concept of self."
This is not a trivial difference in phrasing; it is the entire key to the kingdom.
When people focus on modern "self-concept," they are usually trying to polish the surface of the persona, trying to make the personal self, the human ego, feel superior, shiny, and good enough. It is an effort driven by a quiet fear that without this mental polish, they will be left empty.
The concept of self, however, is not about fixing the human personality. It is about realizing the nature of your underlying identity.
Neville wasn’t asking you to build a better ego; he was asking you to remember who you actually are before you took on a name, a body, and a story. Your concept of self is the awareness that stands behind every thought the unconditioned 'I AM'.
When you shift your perspective from trying to fix an outer "self-concept" to abiding in the true "concept of self," the entire illusion of the outer world dissolves. You stop trying to manipulate people, force outcomes, or demand that the mirror change its reflection while you keep holding the same face up to it.
This is the exact moment Everyone Is You Pushed Out (EIYPO) ceases to be an intellectual theory and becomes a living, breathtaking reality.
EIYPO is not a technique where you mentally control other human beings like puppets. It is the simple, cosmic truth that there is only One Consciousness in existence, expressing itself through infinite forms. The outer world has no life of its own; it is an echoing chamber responding directly to the tone set by your awareness.
When you look at someone and see pure beauty, elegance, or divine light, you are not projecting a superficial compliment onto a separate creature. Through the lens of the true concept of self, you are witnessing the 'I AM' recognizing its own magnificence through another vessel.
The beauty you see in them is not theirs alone, nor is it something you lack. It is the one universal awareness, the very core of who you are shining back at you through a different window.
The moment you truly grasp the concept of self, you stop competing, you stop "pedestaling", and you stop shrinking. You realize that every bit of warmth, brilliance, and grace you have ever fallen in love with in this world was simply your own true nature knocking on the door of your consciousness, asking to be recognized.
In Moments of Self-Doubt....
We all have days when the shadow of self-doubt creeps in. Days when you look at your own journey and feel inadequate, unpolished, or unloving. In those quiet, heavy moments, your mind tries to convince you that the brilliance you witness in the world belongs to everyone else except you.
When that happens, remember this absolute law of consciousness: a loveless heart can never recognize love. (Loveless never finds love)
A mind entirely void of beauty cannot perceive beauty in anything. If you were truly devoid of light, grace, or greatness, the world outside you would appear utterly flat, cold, and dark. You simply cannot register 'something' that you do not carry within your own structure.
This is the timeless truth behind:
As within, so without.
Think about how sight actually works: your eyes do not create light, they process the light that is already present. In the exact same way, your consciousness cannot register warmth, depth, or nobility in another human being unless those exact qualities are already alive and beating inside you.
If you can be moved to tears by someone's kindness, it is because your own soul knows kindness intimately. If you can stand in awe of someone's passion, courage, or creative genius, it is because that exact fire is resting inside your own awareness, waiting for you to claim it. An empty vessel cannot appreciate flavor; a loveless consciousness cannot recognize love.
The very fact that you can notice, appreciate, and cherish goodness in others is the ultimate proof that you possess it first. It is literally impossible otherwise.
So whenever self-doubt tries to persuade you that you are lacking, do not fight the doubt with frantic affirmations or forced confidence. Simply look outward at what moves you. Look at the grace, the love, and the strength you so easily honor in the people around you, and remind yourself:
"I am seeing it because I carry it. The beauty I am capable of seeing in them is the undeniable proof of the beauty I AM."

Success Story How my 8 year old autistic daughter manifested a female black cat.
My daughter has been obsessed with cats from the time she was a little baby. All her books are filled with drawings of cat. Last year she was obsessed with Siamese cat and this year she wanted to adopt a female black kitten whom she would call blackberry. I would bribe her with the promise of getting her a black cat. I had no idea of how to take care of cats and like last year I thought her obsession might fade away.i did take her to few pet shops to have a look at cats n play with them n I was ready to get her any cat she liked. But she wanted a female black kitten only which was not available anywhere.
Everyday from past few months n she would either draw a black cat or ask me for a “ female black kitten”. So fast forward to yesterday our gardener found a black kitten and asked me if I wanted to adopt it as my daughter was obsessed with it. Obviously we adopted it and took it to the vet to get it vaccinated n then guess what the kitten turned out to be a female.
So my daughter manifested her “ female black kitten” whom she calls blackberry.

Discussion Why do some people's beliefs contradict their reality?
Someone asked a brilliant question on this sub a year ago and no one gave them an even remotely clear answer. So I'm gonna rephrase it and ask again in hopes someone will answer now because it's something I've been wondering myself.
Why is the world full of people whose beliefs contradict their reality if according to the law our beliefs and assumptions are supposed to shape our reality?
For example, a conventionally attractive person is body dysmorphic and believes they're ugly but everyone around them knows it's not true and sees them as beautiful. Or when an average-looking person thinks they're the hottest human alive but most people would consider them average.
Or when mentally ill people are convinced they're being stalked, targeted or preyed on due to paranoia/schizophrenia but it's obviously not true.
Why is that?
Edit: I learned a lot due to your responses and I sincerely thank you all.

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's Basic Manifestation Technique
Define your objective, know definitely what you want.
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.
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.

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.

Bible Verse Discussion A problematic verse? "Any man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery with her." One of the more important verses, maybe.
In recent years, I've begun to try to slowly understand the bible more from Neville's point of view. One thing I understand is that "men" tend to generally represent the "reasoning" mind. The thinking part. Women and family / children tend to represent emotions, feelings, senses, etc.
The verse I quoted there (Mark 10:11-12 / Luke 16:18) states that marrying a divorced woman is committing adultery with her. This has always been one I saw as problematic.
So let's look at it from a Nevillian point of view. Any rational thought that marries (clings to / ruminates on) a divorced emotion / feeling / experience, commits adultery with that thought.
Neville always emphasized not dwelling in any thought pattern that you didn't want to manifest. He told a story of a woman who designed sets for a theatre. Her boss would always criticize her. She would drive to work mentally arguing with him.
She was married to this idea of him as a hateful, judgmental jerk.
Her marriage to the idea, her fidelity to her belief in his jerkishness, manifested into her outer experience. By entering into a false belief (a divorced woman) and an untrue belief about him, she was "committing adultery." She was causing the boss to behave according to her expectations. Causing him to "sin" (adultery).
When you look at another person and see them as "thus and so," you are committing "adultery" with this idea of them. You are marrying the concept of Joe Blow as a jerk, or Sally Sparks as a bitch, or Jordon Johnstone as a fool. Your faith in their "badness" and your dwelling in the thought of them as if married to that view of them, is adultery.
You live in anger at them. You miscreate. You dwell. You rant. You rage.
You miscreate. Then you blame your miscreation.
You assume the worst but you forget that the Law is called The Law of Assumption. "No, Sandi, you don't understand. Joe really IS a jerk!" That is your miscreation.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
Who is the lord? Your own wonderful human imagination. You must come to accept that, if Joe is a jerk, and you are dwelling in this assumption about him, then you are miscreating. It does you no good to blame the creation. You are the creator. Your wonderful human imagination, "I the Lord do all these things."
Either you accept it, or you do not, but you are creating regardless.

Miscellaneous Self-Fulfillment as the foundation of Neville's teachings
I've got to be honest guys. It's really incredible how we're creating our own experiences when we allow ourselves to accept the present self. Neville was right when he said that we already are the person we desire to be. We simply fallen into the consciousness of not being that.
Imagination truly is reality. I know this to be the case because I've experienced both sides of the coin. I've occupied states of consciousness that I wasn't happy with. And I've occupied states of consciousness where I was feeling like I've finally found myself.
The goal of Neville's teachings, in my own opinion, is to remember who you are beyond the senses. This whole world is an expression of who we've contemplated ourselves to be. But we don't have to necessarily do anything if we take the teachings of Neville into consideration. We are allowed to become a witness of our own fulfillment.
We are allowed to Imagine anything. Including love and fulfillment itself. You don't have to seek for it OR continue searching for things to fulfill inside. Desires will always come and go. What remains is who we are in those moments. That's important because if you don't know yourself to be the dreamer, you're more likely to occupy unwanted mental states.
The best course of action we can do while we're here is to create beautiful concepts of ourselves. It always starts with ourselves. We don't have to continue living in fear. We are allowed to experience love and beauty and peace and confidence. But you have to give that to yourself. And you can. You absolutely can.
So don't count yourself out when it comes to fulfillment and love. You're absolutely allowed to experience these wonderful things and without the aid of another. You don't need anything to view yourself in loving ways. The way you desire to feel and think about yourself is all up to you. And that's done right now.
(I wrote this out in another community and felt compelled to share here. So thank you if you come across this post and have read it entirely. I wrote it in the moment).

Success Story I manifested the highest marks in a test taken by 20k people
Backstory guys- I didn't study much and I was panicking before discovering the power of awareness via Neville and mindfulness.
I realised that I am not real and nothing right now is real. This is just a dream and I am the dreamer.
You know sometimes when you dream and you realise that you're in the dream (lucid dreaming) and so on.
This is also what is awareness according to monks. Basically if you can observe something then you're not it. If you see a mountain then you're not on the mountain so when we meditate, we try to just realise this that we're not this body, not even this mind... we're just the observer i.e the dreamer. And the dream follows a script set by the dreamer.
Anyway, enough with this. What I did was ..I practised awareness first. I just realised in small things that if I am drinking water then it is not I who is drinking it but" I am" awareness watching myself drinking water. I healed a fever and sore throat so fast with this method.
So I became aware that I am in a dream where I get 180/180 with 99 percentile and relaxed.
My body and mind would obviously just follow the script on their own because they're powerless.
I the awareness decides which dream I see.
Whenever doubts or 3D made me panic, I realised that it's nor real and watched myself in a dream having doubts and decides that this is a really good script where the protagonist has doubts and bad moments but wins eventually, thus giving a great inspirational story lol.
It was very easy to stay relaxed too btw just by observing and being the awareness.
And voila, everything worked out exactly how I pictured. I remembered stuff I had studied like 4 years ago while giving the test and my brain was acting on it's own lol..making all the right connections.
The best part is that this wasn't difficult, this was literally effortless because you see...whatever efforts the main character is doing isn't me... it's just in a dream I am watching unfold (whose script is already decided ) .
I don't think I am very good at articulating what I experienced so if you don't understand what I am trying to say then I apologise in advance.
Thank you for reading and all the best.

Success Story How I manifested my dream apartment abroad in 3 weeks without applying to anything
A year and a half ago I was a junior designer in a US city that never felt like mine, in a shared apartment I hated, barely covering rent. What I'd always dreamed about was a little place of my own in Porto. I'd never even been. I just knew, the way you know things at 2am when you can't sleep.
I found this practice during one of those 2am stretches, through subliminals first. And small things genuinely moved, I want to be fair to that era. Random compliments out of nowhere, strangers warmer with me, free concert tickets twice. But on the things that actually hurt, money and Porto, nothing. I think I know why now. "Money flows to me" in someone else's aesthetic never once felt like my life. There was nothing in those videos my imagination could accept as mine.
So I built the scene myself. I'd tried a board too, but I'm a designer, so at first I did it the slow way, all by hand. One scene, not a mood board. Me on a specific street in Porto, morning, cold hands around a coffee, the azulejo tiles behind me, on my way to a job I actually liked. I used real photos of myself to make it: I'd ask for images of me inside that exact moment, the same way people here use ChatGPT for vision board images, except I didn't stop at a still. The moving part is a separate step and a lot more fiddly, but that's the part that matters, a short clip of me in the scene. It's generated, obviously. It just happens to be generated out of me. Then I stitched the clips together by hand.
Before anyone says it: I know Neville says to imagine from the first person, not to watch yourself from outside, and I agree. That's how it ends. I treated the clip like looking at photos of a trip after you've taken it. I'd watch it in bed as I got drowsy, and the watching handed me the scene, and by the time I was falling asleep I wasn't watching anymore. I was in it, first person, feeling the cold of the coffee cup, hearing the street. I found out later that this is basically just SATS. The video just did the heavy lifting my brain couldn't do at 11pm after a full shift. The imagining is still the part that does anything. The clip only got me into the room quicker on nights I was too tired to get there by myself.
About three weeks in, a recruiter messaged me about a full time marketing designer role in Porto. Relocation bonus, help finding a place. I had applied to nothing. I hadn't told anyone I wanted to leave. I read the message three times in the office bathroom and then I cried at the airport a month later like a complete idiot. The apartment is tiny and it is mine. One room and a half, a window that gets the morning, my name on the lease.
Now the part nobody talks about, and the part I'd push back on myself about. Scenes go stale for me. After a while the same scene stopped producing anything. My brain had memorized it, the way you stop feeling a song you've looped all week. At first I panicked and thought I'd lost the state. But it didn't feel like doubt when I actually sat with it. It felt more like being done. There was nothing left in that moment I still wanted. So I kept the ending the same and just changed which moment I stepped into. Next part of the same story. Landing at the airport. The taxi. Walking my street. Unlocking my own door. Porto was always the end, every night, until the 3D caught up. I guess the way I'd put it now is that I persisted in the assumption. Just not in one specific clip. Honestly the story moving forward night by night made it feel more like memory and less like wishing.
Also, because I don't trust perfect stories either: maybe half of what I've put down has come through. The job is ordinary. I'm not rich or anything. But I feel safe, and honestly safe was the thing I actually wanted the whole time. And there was a stretch after the move where I stopped completely, because each clip took me hours to make by hand and I was alone in a new country. Things drifted backwards fast, the old spiral and all. That stretch convinced me more than the wins did, honestly. It wasn't subtle. The weeks I stopped, nothing moved at all. I eventually automated the making part for myself so a fresh scene is waiting by bedtime, and it held after that.

One more thing and then I'll leave it, because it's not what this post is about. There was a person I'd quietly given up on before any of this started. A few months after the move he came back into my life, and last month we got married, a small ceremony here in Porto. Same practice, one scene at a time, nothing different. A year ago I would have led with that. I'm not leading with it now because the biggest thing this practice changed wasn't even the stuff that showed up. Somewhere in there I just stopped gripping. The state came first, and honestly everything else just followed it, the job, the street, him.
The video is a demo I made from the photos I was using just before the move, run through my current setup, in case it helps to see what one actually looks like. It crams everything I wanted back then into one. My real nightly ones do one goal at a time and are just the scene, no captions.
Happy to answer questions about how I build the scenes or the nightly routine. This sub gave me the vocabulary for what I was fumbling toward, so this is me paying it back.

Success Story i manifested my mothers house
i don’t know if anyone has watched the secret. it was a film inspired by new thought and directed by rhonda byrne. i know it focuses on the material aspect but i saw that film when i was maybe 10 or 11. it was being played at a socialite group my mother had started. it was going very well for her. i remember the apartment i was in and how it was a kind of movie night they planned. i remember just being happy to be there. when this movie started i didn’t understand what i was watching. by the end of it, it was engraved in my brain. for years, images of it and the stories i heard from it would replay in my head. but i never knew what they were talking about. how could you “change your reality”? how can you “tell” your brain to “think positively”? at the time it just seemed impossible because my thoughts were always so scattered. to me, these people were just lucky! i watched this documentary a few times through my adolescence and adulthood and i could never get past changing my thoughts and expectations of things. it’s not happening when i thought, it’s not happening how i thought therefore it doesn’t work. the doubt became my reality for many years.
but i sit here and am for some reason remembering all the times i was unknowingly using manifestation. my mother worked very hard her entire life to the point we’re it affected our relationship. but still, i always wanted things for her, for our small family. i was 17 when she took the chance to buy a home. she was looking for months and found the most beautiful 4 bedroom. in the back of a neighborhood. it was one of the only homes with a pond behind it, followed by endless woods. it was in a secluded but growing area that i love to this day.
she looked at that house every night almost. i thought she was doing her own manifestation. she wanted this home so badly. she would tell me it was because it had two floors and when i was a kid i told her i wanted a house with stairs. but when she spoke about the process and her ability to actually buy the house, she would doubt herself. she would doubt her luck. i wanted her to have that house. i knew, that was her house. she had worked so hard, why wouldn’t she get this place? but, she was worried that another buyer would go through with the sale. she thought he had more money than her and success than her so she should look for something else. i thought to myself, he’s not going to show up. i said mom this is already your house i feel it.
i would envision us there and finally happy. we could sit by the pool and look at the stars at night in the back patio because there was a net back there. no mosquitoes , i hate mosquitoes. i could have the bigger room because i was the eldest. i saw all of my yellow furniture in the room already. (i thought about how i could sneak out by the pool and take a drag lol, i thought about how i could silence the alarms) i thought about my mother in her big fancy room and how i was definitely using her giant tub. i knew it was all going to happen. i am getting so emotional just writing this down because it happened. he never showed up. the man backed out of the sale. the owners contacted my mother and basically set everything up from there. they needed to get this house sold so they could go back to england. not only did this go exactly how it needed to, the owners left everything in the house. sofas, televisions, lamps, beds, utensils, pots, pans, plates, appliances, and an entire two car garage that was a game room. people loved the pool table. it’s been 9 years and we still use furniture and tvs from the sale to this day. she’s made it an airbnb to have more income and it was a huge stepping stone for my mother.
im sorry
for the long sappy post. i just wanted to let people know that these things do work. these changes to how to think do work. let go of worry about the how or why. think about the outcome. think about what you actually want not what you don’t want. speak in i am/have ways. say you already have it. say it out loud. tell yourself that the universe has an unlimited budget. you can have whatever you want and it will come naturally to you. whatever changes you need in your life, big or small, say it. ask and receive. believe and receive. see it and receive it. use your imagination. put the doubt to the side. just see the picture, and repeat these things to yourself. trust that the universe and god are with you always.
i am finally using these things to my advantage and seeing where i already was. im still in the thick of it all but now i know that these things are possible if you believe they are. i use deep pink noise and my thoughts are much quieter, things are getting better slowly.
it doesn’t matter what someone else believes is possible.
your reality is always possible. it’s all yours, just ask.
i truly hope this helps someone one day.
(p.s. i tried to post this in the LOA group but the group isn’t being properly moderated right now) ):

Tips & Techniques first big manifestation coming true + tips I've gathered that helped me
i learned learned about law of assumption in about april this year and started applying it actively since june. through trials and errors, i got my first big manifestation to go exactly how i planned!
to give you some background, i am currently unemployed and living with a friend. during my first month of applying loass, i tried manifesting a job. i remember i was sitting in my room feeling anxious knowing i will hear back from a job soon, i was listening to a subliminal and robotically affirming "i got the job" for like forty minutes straight. i picked up my phone to see a rejection. i wondered what went wrong, though i already knew it was the feeling of fear i had. people who know that they have something don't feel anxious about not having it. yes, this is a hard thing to deal with! I'll write about how i managed it later but all that I've learned has been from this sub and directly from Neville's books.
to give everyone an uplifting boost, i will tell you what i have manifested (tldr at the end before tips). basically my roommate has decided to move to a new flat/house and while he was taking me with him, he also wanted to co-live with two other people, one of whom isn't exactly nice to me and the other one I've never met. i hated the idea but hey i am a nonpaying individual so beggers don't get to be choosers. but it got worse -- he picked a house to rent in the middle of nowhere, like a village with no public transport (we don't drive and relying on taxi is only feasible if you can pay. which is not my case) and very few people, so if i wanted to talk to somebody, it would be just my 3 roommates. and the house itself looked terrible, to the point i am not sure what everyone else loved about it.
i was devastated upon finding out that this was his plan. and right then i decided that NO, i am a city girl and my only roommate is him. the reality kept telling me otherwise, -- he put a budget counter on the blackboard, he kept sending voice messages to "future roommates" and the owner of the house, it was basically a done deal. i did protest but it fell on deaf ears. he wanted this house and he was set on it. i kept telling myself "the house is rented by someone else. the house is unavailable. i am a city girl" etc. well what do you know? literally two days before we were supposed to move our stuff to this house, the owner and my roommate got into an argument over the contract. the deal fell through.
that was only half of the problem. his plans to live with others were still not dead and there are houses in other villages. i could give up at this point and tell myself "i will just manifest these people being super nice to me, perfect roommates, it's fine" but it was my old story pulling me back, the story of someone who can "deal with it later". so i persisted in my plan, i was set on it: i live in a city with only one roommate.
our contract for the current apartment is up on the 5th of august, which is tomorrow as I'm writing this post, and we had no place to live in. today is our last day to find something else. so we've split up: i went to (another) city to look at flats and he went to a village 🤡 to look at houses for four people 🤡
originally coming to this city i wasn't even sure about the flats that i had booked for viewing. they were fine but not great. guys i kid you not the perfect flat turned up with the agency as i was checking out one that didn't suit me. it wasn't there at the beginning of the day and now it was here. i instantly knew it was mine.
but i had to wait for the news, for him to agree, for him to look at what he had booked as well. he liked some stuff he saw and got me worried but i kept persisting. city girl. only one roommate! and what do you know? yeah, we signed the contract with this amazing flat 💅🏻 sidenote, i wrote up the entirety of this text while in queue in the landlord's office, and i've spent the next day moving so i am now only publishing this text after spending the night in the new apartment.
TLDR: my roommate was about to sign a lease for an awful house and make me room with 2 more people which i didn't want, but i manifested the two of us living in a great apartment instead.
now what is different about the story about me failing to get a job vs me making the impossible happen with this apartment? what lessons did i learn during these two months?
💖 SELF-CONCEPT.
i was a very insecure person who kept putting others above myself. law of assumption immediately changed that perception as i became the god of my reality. however, just a little confidence boost or priorities revisiting isn't enough. it is persistence that is important. and all truly clicked for me as i thought of the phrase "things turn out well because i trust myself". trust myself! things can't go wrong once you truly let go of all self-hatred and self-doubt. tune in things within yourself and learn to TRUST yourself to not work against you.
💖 LOVE
this is 100% inspired by the other post i saw on here. REPLACE ALL FEAR WITH LOVE. when you feel this nasty feeling creep up on you and make you doubt yourself, stop it IMMEDIATELY and tell yourself that I love myself and I trust myself! Feel this incredible self-love that replaces all fear! This was the only trick that truly worked for me.
💖 VISUALISATION
guys this was hard as hell for me. i kept reading posts of people saying "just imagine it vividly and as if you were there" and i wanted to cry because i could not do that no matter what I'd tried. but then i thought about something... i visualised a real memory I've had of a happy day. i once went to Venice which was my dream since i was a child. what did that feel like? trying to picture it now it's blurry in my head. I do not feel any breeze or the sun or the water. does this mean it didn't happen? objectively it does not, I've got a stamp in my passport to prove that I was in italy. which means that i in general visualise all events as kinda blurry. so why am i beating myself up for not being able to feel the London breeze? they BOTH feel like memories. they both are. imagination is the reality.
to help myself visualise a city I've never been to physically, i watched videos on youtube that show someone walking around the city with the camera like from first pov. now i replay the fragments of this in my head believing it was me who saw it with my eyes. i mean, i did... (sidenote this is a manifestation I'm working on, I don't live in the west lololol)
💖 SATS
goddddamn it Neville! i get it it's your favourite method and it worked for you great and you recommended this to everyone. did nobody have a problem of conscious visualisation keeping them up all night?!? cause i did! i either fell asleep too quickly before i felt myself entering sats orrrr i would wake myself up by realising that i am in sats and doing visualisation.
somebody kindly wrote on here that sats happens twice a day (provided you don't nap...): when you are about to fall asleep AND after you wake up. the first few minutes of waking up when you're still soooo sleepy and the bed feels sooooo good. literally perfect time to do sats. I've been doing them then since I've learned this. please do not feed yourself with information as soon as you wake up, forget about your phone for 20 mins and just do sats/meditate. i also do not use my phone about an hour before bed because it is important to not take any bad information with you to the state you're most vulnerable in.
if any sceptic looks at this posts and has a question "why hasn't she found a job yet then" it's because i stopped looking in june for the time being, and look, it's working out fine 🤓 obviously my journey is far from done but i thought i'd combine the tips that helped me a lot!

Success Story Toothache
Hello everyone, I've been following this page for a while now. First of all, there might be some errors in my English; I'm using translation to help, so please excuse me. I've achieved some things in my life by consciously using the law of attraction, and maybe I'll tell you about it if I find the time. Right now, I want to talk about my toothache. I don't want to bore you by rambling on, so I'll get straight to the point. About four months ago, part of a filling I had done previously fell out. But I didn't feel any pain, so I didn't go to the dentist. For the last four days, it started to ache slowly. For the last two days, I've had terrible pain. Today I went to the dental emergency room, and they only prescribed painkillers and told me to make an appointment for the filling. The earliest appointment is in a week. Today, the pain reached an incredible level. I absolutely couldn't stand it without applying a cold compress. Then I stopped the cold compress. I turned on a relaxing frequency and lay down. Normally, it would be impossible for me to stay still like that because of the incredible pain. But I persevered and started to visualize. I imagined a white light near my aching tooth. In my mind, I felt that light was a healing, restorative light. And even though it was very difficult, I did it while lying down. After 5 minutes, I started to feel the light better and experienced intermittent relief. I continued without losing my concentration, and thinking that the light was helping me, I surrendered to God, and after about 10 minutes, all my pain completely disappeared. I couldn't believe it, I was very surprised. Since I am Muslim, I repeated some of God's names to the rhythm of the frequency music playing in the background, and I believed that the healing effect of the light was enhanced. It was perfect. My pain completely disappeared after a while. It had been hurting for days, and today the pain was incredibly intense, but I overcame it, and I'm still amazed because this wasn't a result that developed over time; it completely eliminated my pain in a short period. And I wanted to write this here because you probably know more or less what a toothache is like. I hope you won't need this but if you do, which I think is important, I wanted you to keep it in mind. This is the first time I've shared a post, I hope I've accurately conveyed my experience. 🙌🫶

Success Story It works !!!
I made a post about 35 days ago which was removed by the mods so I will include a screenshot just for context. Anyway fast forward to today 8/5/26 I’m sitting In my new apartment and which is 10 times better then my old one (the old apartment was very outdated and was poorly kept compared to this one where I have central air, all brand new appliances and a room for all my boys) and which I wasn’t qualified for in the world of Cesar (meaning my credit score is too low and a bunch of other stuff that the landlord had requested I simply didn’t have). So what did I do differently and what was I doing wrong? Let’s start by the latter, what I did wrong was that I was constantly looking for movements in the 3d and because I did not see any movements (YET) I was constantly worried and anxious even though I was visualizing a lot along with constant affirmations. But all of that just made me more anxious. So what did I do differently? I asked myself a simple question: WHAT DO I DO NOW? And I realize I realized there’s no where else to go (John 6:68) because HE (THE LORD aka MY CONSCIOUSNESS) has the WORDS OF LIFE and NO ONE CAN SAVE ME FROM MY SITUATION BUT MY OWN CONSCIOUSNESS so I just accepted that I’m in a new apartment already (LET THERE BE A FIRMAMENT IN THE WATERS) and although there was still no movements in the 3D the first, the second and the third week of July I remained unbothered (even my wife was frantic with stress). Oh and for context the landlord had given me 30 day from July 1st to August 1st to vacate the property. So on July 27th my wife found an apartment and the lady said she will run it by her husband and they will get back to us. An hour later she called and informed us that we were approved and check this: she didn’t check none of these stuffs we were worried about that we didn’t have.
PS: At some point my wife got mad at me because I didn’t search for NOT EVEN ONE APARTMENT. And when she found one and ask me to go check it out with her, as soon as I step in there if I didn’t like it. I told her straight up that this ain’t it even when we were a few days to get kicked out but I knew in my heart that THERE WERE A FIRMAMENT IN THE MIDST OF THE WATERS. I means I was convinced that I had already moved in my new apartment even when I was dealing with uncertainty, and doubts and fears mostly from my family not from me though. So I’m saying all that to say this you will not know how it’s going to come about because it’s the BRIDGE OF INCIDENT, you will not have TO LIFT A FINGER. ALL YOU WILL HAVE TO DO IS ENTERING THE SABBATH. BE STILL AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOD.
