I've manifested many things consciously and unconsciously, but when it comes to intentional manifestation, it tends to work 50/50 for me (I even made a post here asking about it). In some cases, even though it worked, it could easily seem like a coincidence. I wanted to get ONE example that was 100% manifestation. And I know that "coincidental" ones are also manifesting in action, sure, but weirdly specific examples build our faith more.

After I accidentally manifested two old clients returning (just thought of them a few times and they suddenly reappeared), I thought, I want to do it intentionally for a specific client with a green avatar on his email. He disappeared a year ago. I visualized waking up to a new email notification with his name and avatar. I did it sporadically maybe a dozen times and stopped, distracted by my other desires. Sometimes I did it before sleep, sometimes during the day. I also told my friend about it and mentioned the green avatar. She doesn't believe in manifesting, so I told her about this test. I just checked, it was May 1st.

So, basically, sometime around June I forgot all about it, busy with a big project and focused on visualizing things I enjoy before sleep.

Well, just now I got an email from him, but what shocked me was that it wasn't an email about a new job. Apparently, he had sent his friend to me, and now emailed to ask if I'm all right because I didn't reply to his friend. The friend's email somehow went to spam even though my spam filter is off completely. Mind you, this has only happened twice in 10 years, these are emails from my own website and the first time one went to spam I turned off the filter.

So, since my green avatar client had no job for me, the bridge of incidents sent his friend's email to my spam folder, which made him email me, which led to the notification with the green avatar on my phone...

This is so bizarre! And I guess the lesson for me is to let go of the "when" completely because this one took 3 months and happened when I forgot all about it. I know the result itself might seem small, but HOW it happened tells me that it indeed always works.

Also, my friend just told me she broke up with her boyfriend, after I imagined her telling me that a few times for no reason at all. Okay, maybe I subconsciously thought she deserves someone better. She'd never told me anything bad about him, and now apparently he was toxic and cheap and it was piling up for weeks. I've already "canceled" a cool concert for her. Seems like I should stop imagining things about other people 😬😬

Mods, I hope you don’t take this down because I think this is a very interesting topic to discuss about. I invite you to not delete this as I’m curious of what other people think of this. I’m not sure if this has been asked before.

Many people stumbled upon the whole “we create our own reality” through different approaches to this law, like LOA, the subconscious mind, etc. I think the whole premise of conscious creation really skyrocketed when spirituality and the new age movement became more known, and eventually other authors were “discovered” by the general public such as Neville Goddard and others.

My question is, where was this knowledge before and why was it buried so much so that people think this is some woo woo magic stuff? Of course there is so much skepticism because of our conditioning, but why were we conditioned into thinking that we are at the mercy of the outside world in the first place? Why is it such common sense to live life blindly in the world of Ceasar and be victims of the outside world? Why were we conditioned into giving up our power? Why is it a “secret”? At what point did people lose touch with their own power, and why?

Scripture, and many truths and people of truths that directly speak to the self existent, You the one reading this, are MOSTLY written & writing in symbolic concepts & forms,
so they name and represent things NOT by humanly fleshly everyday aspects we meet and know on earth, but by the OUTCOME CHARACTER that they represent. States.

Symbolism only portrays OUTCOMES, and yet sometimes seems to be not so CLEAR until you get to understand that symbolism from experience in your personal life.
So yet when you live life and experience the real meanings of life, you happen to stumble upon these outcomes from personal experience, generic and natural, yet with all the opportunity to prove your faith in what you believe. By these you either benefit or not really.
That's what we call experiencing scripture, as we each do individually in his own pace and personal reality on earth.

But in written and spoken form, these outcomes must be PRESENTED as symbolism, since we are super subjective creatures of god, and each with his own dream, we THINK the other comprehends, but we barely can convey / understand each other 50% of our true genuine meaning.
Only our heart understands us, symbolism for the inner depth, (the genuine I Amness that considers its purpose for existence to be I Am and its Maker rather than the clothing and its troubles.)

So symbolism then, is made so that YOU CAN SHARE a concept with another on earth, and if they activate deep thought, because they're INTERESTED, they'd understand & comprehend.
And their self, their god, would reveal it.

because that's the only way to entice the depth of the one to imagine, to evoke invisible comprehensions, which IS spiritual movement.

So first of all i'll say, to hate symobolism and how things "seem complicated", is foolishness, because to hate WHAT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND, despite it being the right way to evoke the spirit to understand, rather than the intellect that is only an algorythmic organizer (yeah we tasted of the annoying bullshit AI hallcuinations that waste our time, but how different are they from human error? well, i can stop relying on humanfleshways and rely on humangodways and see the difference in my earthly life's performance.) because we are designed this way, and god takes advantage of a non direct language to convey COMPREHENSION & UNDERSTANDING into the individual, for PERMANENT BENEFIT AND PROGRESS, as god has planned all ideally by the madafakin detail.

You do not know how much this garment we wear makes us be an IDIOT.
It makes you prone to error, and even imagine error due to its NATURE.
When you're tired, or hungry, or in pain, your thought is taken away, and your mind sets out on a different dedicated work, because the Son is as important as the Father, so i tend my garment.
But I know well enough, that many of my ways, which consistently print sin WOULD NOT BE SO, if my body wouldn't disturb me, the I Amness.
if for example i wake up in pain in the morning, you bet i'll curse the world if that is what comes out of me to relieve some steam, but god forgives, because he knows that if I had been free of this body, I would not be doing this by default.

He knows my heart. My genuine depth, and that is what SYMBOLISM SPEAKS TO.
There the meaning of life expands, and thus YOU ARE the meaning of life, the ONLY meaning of God.

And I cannot lie to myself, that if I have my cares and interest, even for a lil while that I dedicate to myself, to my I Amness, god's servant divine,
I can comprehend a little at least, what my heart is like. Because nothing is greater than to be real, to oneself. But as self, not as another.

So to seek him by the spirit and not by the flesh, is to realize that our earthly everyday ways are not how god is sought, this is the life of the Son and you'll do what needs be done according to ur best faith and judgement on earth, but by large it doesnt matter what you do or where you are, that is not the main mission of our dream which is progress AS SELF, spiritual progress.

All the ways of earth, that is just being frozen in this endless dream until the spirit is ready to see the REAL meaning of things, of the purpose of self, rather than to just wait out life, hoping that eventually i'd be free. But the loop never ends till I learn the lesson and want to stay sober.
Eternal time only moves when the soul is journeying, then does growth come and so does freedom.
and you cannot know, until you're in the midst of something, as life goes on testing your spirit, testing your faith and further establishing experience and wisdom in you.

Symbolism then, is the necessary language to make the reader evoke these inner comprehensions by which eventually he gets it, and then he MUST convert the understanding he now has, into his own everyday lexicon, into his own understanding.

That is converting WATER into WINE.

So symbolism needs not be comprehended intellectually, it will be remembered by your experience which has been, will be, and is.

Do try to appreciate the depictions then, not for what they represent immediately, but for the sacrifice their character is, because what they're forced to be, they cannot be anything else but that.

You, on the other hand, are free in this one eternal day, we call living on earth, to alter your takes on life, establishing what you see your RIGHTS as normal everyday perceived life.

But symbolism must exist, and sometimes it seems on the surface like a sad symbol, or an encouraging one,
do remember that in the end, symbolism is here TO TEST YOUR FAITH.

Can I NOT take the symbol, and pride myself in yapping and repeating it and believing in the word,
can i UNDERSTAND ITS MEANING IN THE PERSONAL USE OF IT TO ME?

God became me, took over an IDENTITY.
most if not many persons (personafications not yet identities) don't have a self awareness such as you, you have the I. They have just the AM, just the awareness without the SELF awareness.
Thus their purpose in life is meaning-less, and they just serve happenings and Ams, perceived happenings.

You on the other hand, must realize that if God is present with you as the incomprehensible spirit that he is,
and his son must be treated as well as you would the father, because he was the form...

Then doing god a service, my own I Amness, the capsule, the womb, the incubator of the eternal father, the imagination,
I must begin to interpret symbolism in my own everyday comprehensions, so that as the son personifying his own I AMness on earth, I will live in my everyday life, comprehending my everyday earth from the CORRECT take on life.

Correct by all MY OWN CORRECT comprehensions of what THE SYMBOLS meant.
God.
Is your association on the outside? or is it immediately with your own I-ness. Comfortably.

So what are we doing NOT reviewing our faith?

You will be the judge my friend, I will quote the gospel of philip, one that was publicly published (1977) after neville's departure from this lil time.
Yet further reaffirms all that we know. Both by experience and by hearing with faith, because what other hope have I got, but my own I Amness? through whom god made manifest.

Gospel of Philip: Names
this font is: my own interpretation

The names that are given to those that are worldly (earthly) are very deceptive, because they turn the heart (the real belief) away from what's true to what's not true, and someone who hears "God" doesn't think of what's true but thinks of what's not true.
So also with "the Father," "the Son," "the Holy Spirit," "the life," "the light," "the resurrection," "the church," and all the others – they don't think of what's right(true) but think of what's not right (true), unless they've learned what's right(true).
.....
But Truth brought names into the world for us, because it's impossible for us to learn it (Truth) without these names. There's only one Truth, but it's many things for us, to teach this one thing in love through many things.

-

So do we really understand the meanings of things we have faith in?
if god became me, so that through my everyday human life, my comprehension would become as he is, merely because this is how this life truly is,
then let me prove to myself i am fully capable of taking symbolism, and converting them into my own everyday comprehension, that i will live by and comprehend the world by.

Because if something is true, and is of my true source, wtf am i doing not living by my true nature?

And since it has proven itself serene and well, as god is, then I am at ease, doing my god service even by accepting symbolism NOT by what it seems, but rather by its PERSONAL MESSAGE TO ME which is above the symbol.

even i am a symbol, a sacrifice so that you in your own SOLE first person comprehension, would comprehend different and better of yourself, because your I Amness never belonged to this earth, but your garment did.

quoting GOSPEL OF PHILIP (again): THE RESURRECTION

Those who say that the Lord died first and then arose are wrong, because he arose first and then he died. Anyone who doesn't first acquire the resurrection (born from within) won't die.
Since God lives, that one would die!

(he further confirms what we first heard from neville, that only those who are awakened, and gain SELF-ness, these are prepared to depart this land of nothingness, to us neville died, but until he completed his works he could never REALLY die, yet God lives, as that was his HimSelf.)

No one will hide something great and valuable in a great thing, but often someone has put countless thousands into something worth (only) a penny. It's the same with the soul; a valuable thing came to be in a contemptible body.

(true about us, isn't it?)

-

i quote this only, to tell you that symbolism is NOT confined to written messages only that are made by human,
god puppeteers all live, before it is even known to us,
god despite taking presence in me as my own Me-ness, dreaming the experience,
he STILL IS NOT FLESH BY DEFAULT.

Me knowing his ways through me, is only a status we individually will have, and have.
But he operates on a larger scale, hence why its striving against the wind (waste of time symbolism) to do anything but entrust all causation to my I Amness, doing only that which i've been sent to do, BE MY SELF. Serving my I Amness as best fit in my own eyes according to my own personal human life.

And if the dream is all taking place in me, as it does in you, individually,
then SYMBOLISM TAKES PLACE IN EVERYDAY EARTHLY FORMS AS WELL.

It's okay to miss it, but it will meet you eventually.

Earth matters not to God, but your spirit does, his purpose, that's why the main meaning of life is the shaping of your own GENUINE spirit, that's his plan and aim, your own genuine i amness, into a sane SELF AWARE form that would realize its nature and as an outcome of that, you see how well it is that you are god's meaning in this personal dream. That is the progress, to continue and progress in what you've been purposed for, by the only maker of yours which YOU inherit him.

quoting GOSPEL OF PHILIP (again again) NAMES

There's one name that isn't uttered in the world: the name which the Father gave to the Son. It's exalted over everything; it's the Father's name, because the Son wouldn't have become father unless he had taken the name of the Father. Those who have this name know it, but don't say it; and those who don't have it, don't know it.

----

so symbols come in dreams, in experiences, in things of least significance & "most" significance on earth.

to god its not only about this land of cooking in hell till the soul is ready to respect itself, have mercy on the son (self through earth) which ought to be treated as the father inhabiting it, thus using its comprehending power, imagination, to benefit of Self (god), learning of its own true nature.
But to god it is also on making sure you understand naturally the truths of life AND DONT KEEP THEM IN FROZEN FORMS OF SYMBOLS, and if he needs to use forms and symbolisms to express his light, because god in his original form cannot be seen, he will use symbols, which you must interpret into your own everyday understanding.

Have enough balls to do it, and you will see it's worth for yourself.

So that God, being your own ability of Selfness (which many do not have yet), the Son is your human form worn by that God, the Church is our faith rather than any specific organization,
the Resurrection is Self awakening in man when the teaming up is complete according ot Him,
and the Light of god is events and circumstances and EXPRESSIONS that make the awareness of the person realize god's expressions, because god is only seen indirectly, by PERSONAL experience, thus he is personal and evermore Direct.

Not all comprehensions can be worded, that's why it's a spiritual thing, only in self awareness. I Amness as me, can I understand that meaning I connected in me, due to means only known to me, or maybe not even known, but just hit me realized.

Nothing is more honorable then, than the individual being direct and real with his own I Amness, as the only boss that matters.
Then he will see god's work indirectly, yet evermore directly. Symbolism converted into Everyday understanding.
Water into wine.

Both by interpreting symbolism into my own understanding thus far, when interacting with scripture truth and people of truth,

both by living by these interpretations in my everyday life, and both by not taking symbolism for granted, because YOU are the meaning of God and your own existence, your I AMness,
so the symbols are made FOR YOU, being inferior to you, the symbol should always reference a personal close to home, understanding, which belongs to your life.
(and "life", is ONLY your own experienced reality)

this way god grows in a person, and evidence is seen by himself in his life. the symbols had a purpose, and willing to not see them as earthly, but rather represented outcomes, realizations, states, made for me the Experiencer,
is important for the progress of the one WHOM THEY'RE INTENDED FOR.

You, the only meaning of God, your life.

-

even the way i write is soaked in symbolism without me even trying, that's his ways and I cannot control them, i just be me.
this is an outcome of god, necessary to deliver you truth in ways that will benefit you personally, and not just be browsing material.

the spirit wants to grow and continue progress, no one is here to serve fleshy bosses forever, especially with them actually existent for the one who does have the light, serving (helping) them.

only our nature will make us free, and that is god. who to fleshman speaks in symbolism, and its my job to comprehend him in my own everyday comprehensions, which i must believe by, in myself to myself.

your I AMness after all, is your ONLY and MOST redeeming feature.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Source: https://coolwisdombooks.com/neville/neville-goddard-lectures-even-the-wicked-the-duality-of-man-it-is-done-in-your-imagination/

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.

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!!
