Revision: Neville Goddard’s Approach

Revision: Neville Goddard’s Approach

Neville Goddard’s technique of revision offers a practical way to reframe, forgive, forget or heal past events and promote a new vision for ourselves. Envision and imagine, a different starting point, by revision.

A Trauma Healing Revision Meditation

A Practical Overview

Revision allows us to revisit past events and modify them to match our desired outcomes. It’s about choosing the emotional and mental responses we want to carry forward, similar to editing a story to have a happier ending.

“If, for instance, you had gone to an interview for a job you truly wanted but later learned that someone else was hired, you can revise that news to make it conform to what you wish you had heard.”

– Neville Goddard

How to Use Revision

  1. Identify a Situation: NOTICE what you are imagining / thinking. Either about a past event or something that is happing right now, that has left you with negative feelings.
  2. Relive / Revise the Event: Take a moment to name and distance yourself from the thoughts and feelings, and mentally revisit the event, but as an observer. Push the event or thoughts away (imagine them pushed away from you)
  3. Rewrite the Script: Picture the event unfolding in a way that aligns perfectly with your desires. See and feel the joy, success, or positive emotions , give vivid colors, and bring this close to you (See it come towards you). Identify with this.
  4. Embed the New Memory: Practice this revised version more than once, run it through a few times in your mind. Allow the positive emotions associated with the new version to become a part of you.

Practical Example

Let’s say you had a job interview that didn’t go well, leaving you feeling discouraged. With revision, you can replay the interview in your mind, but this time, visualize confidently answering each question. Picture the interviewers impressed with your responses, and feel the confidence within you growing. (A typical Neville example, career and promotions were some of his most comon stories, but you can apply it towards anything you like)

Why would you EVEN bother with this?

By embracing revision, we take charge of your narrative, otherwise your limbic systems survival brain leads your narrative without your consent.

“If you react by feeling depressed or assume any other negative attitude, you will then experience the same type of rejection in the future.” 

-Neville Goddard

We revise our past (or present) to create a new neural pathway, and to reinforce the frontal lobe connetion to our CHOSEN narratives.

When we engage in revision, we’re not altering the actual events of the past, but rather transforming our interpretation and emotional response to those events. You change your REACTION to the past. This, in turn, affects how we perceive and act in the present moment, which is the appointed hour. Now is where we have the power to shape our thoughts, emotions, and our reality.

What should you expect from your revision?

 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control”

– Galatians

If it is not a changed past, then what should you expect? There is a saying, “The proof is in the pudding”, or as it is phrased in the Bible: “By their fruits shall you know them”:

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits:

 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.  You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.  A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.  Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Matthew 7:15-20

In our case, it is our thoughts that are “the fasle prohpets“, the thoughts come to us, appearing as truth. The fruits of those thoughts are the fruits of fear, victimhood, anger or insecurity etc. So know that your revision is complete when your thoughts become those of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Imagine that the negativity was cut down and thrown into the fire, and can no longer produce its bad fruit, the fruits of fear, victimhood, anger or insecurity. With this tree cut down, your tree of good fruit grows, and develops. This opens your eyes to goodnes, opportunities, strenghts and joy.

The Art of Manifesting Total Losers: A Tongue-in-Cheek Guide

The Art of Manifesting Total Losers: A Tongue-in-Cheek Guide

Introduction:


So, you’ve decided to try your hand at manifesting, huh? Well, forget about attracting success, abundance, or happiness! Let’s take a cheeky detour and explore the art of manifesting total losers. Because, why not? After all, life is all about balance, and sometimes, attracting a complete and utter mess into your life can be oddly satisfying. Buckle up, folks! This guide will show you how to manifest that special someone who’s a true champion of chaos.

1. Embrace Your Inner Chaos Conductor:


To manifest a total loser, you’ve got to embrace your inner chaos conductor. Throw out all those positive affirmations and replace them with self-sabotaging thoughts. Tell yourself that you’re destined for failure, and watch the magic unfold!

2. Focus on All the Wrong Things:


Forget about setting meaningful goals or working towards self-improvement. Instead, obsess over trivial matters and let your life revolve around drama and gossip. Remember, attracting a total loser requires a laser focus on all the wrong things.

3. Embody the Energy of Desperation:


The key to manifesting a total loser lies in desperation. Act like you can’t survive without them, even if they bring nothing but chaos and drama. Cling onto their every word and ignore all red flags.

4. Run from Self-Love and Acceptance:


To manifest a total loser, self-love and acceptance must be banished from your life. Be your own worst critic, constantly compare yourself to others, and let imposter syndrome reign supreme.

5. Seek Validation from External Sources:


Don’t waste your time seeking internal validation; go all out for external validation. Rely on others to determine your worth and let their opinions dictate your every move.

6. Attract Drama with Drama:


They say like attracts like, so it’s time to unleash the drama queen within you. Stir up conflicts, overreact to the smallest issues, and watch how drama magnetically draws in your total loser.

7. Set Unrealistic Expectations:


To manifest a total loser, set the bar impossibly high for others while having low expectations for yourself. After all, nothing says “loser magnet” like being unreasonably demanding.

8. Ignore All Warning Signs:


Red flags? What red flags? Turn a blind eye to any signs of trouble and convince yourself that everything will magically work out. Denial is your best friend!

9. Put Others on a Pedestal:


Idealize the person you want to attract, placing them on a pedestal while ignoring their flaws and toxic traits. Because, who needs a healthy dose of reality anyway?

10. Believe You Don’t Deserve Better:


Above all, believe that you don’t deserve better. Tell yourself that a total loser is the best you can do, and settling for less is the way to go.

Conclusion:


So there you have it – the ultimate guide to manifesting a total loser. Remember, life is all about balance, and sometimes, embracing a little chaos can be oddly entertaining. However, as you’ve probably guessed, this blog post is all in good fun. In reality, I encourage you to focus on attracting positivity, growth, and healthy relationships into your life. Manifest wisely and remember that you deserve the best, not the worst! Happy manifesting, or should we say, happy unmanifesting of total losers!

Are you ready for a soulmate partner instead?

The TRUE Power of Gratitude

Gratitude serves as the key that unlocks the door to a world of conscious manifestation. By understanding and embracing the art of receptivity and gratitude, we open ourselves to the flow of abundance that surrounds us. Just as tuning a radio to a specific frequency allows us to catch a particular station, gratitude tunes our hearts to the frequency of positivity and blessings, attracting more of the same into our lives.

Within the pages of this enlightening book, we come to understand that we are manifesting machines, constantly co-creating our reality through our desires and aversions, knowingly or unknowingly. The energy we emit through our thoughts and emotions acts as a powerful magnet, drawing in similar frequencies from the cosmos. Gratitude becomes the guiding light that aligns us with the divine flow of life, allowing us to wait patiently for the fullness and maximum results of our manifestations, rather than rushing impulsively.
