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.

Why BAD circumstances are GOOD!

October 4, 2023

Manifesting your dreams

Alchemy of Adversity: Turn the Worst Into The Best

The foundation of manifesting is rooted in the belief that there’s a fundamental, unified consciousness (whether termed as God, awareness, or nothingness) interwoven with our experiences. One and the same as us, our world, and our experience.

Onenss is CONSTANT:

This essence is a participant in every facet of our lives, including the challenges we face. NO circumstance is outside of ONENESS. No circumstance is TOO BIG, or TOO DIFFICULT. Nothing. Acknowledging this oneness, and understanding that the divine presence descends into and uplifts our experiences is at the heart of the manifesting process. It’s about recognizing that our journey is indivisibly connected to this higher consciousness, and through this understanding, we manifest and shape our realities. Nondoership. It is what life is all about.

Intention and Invitation:

The understanding is that this divine essence descends into our challenges, and it’s our trust and knowingness that it will also uplift us. Our INTENTION and awareness is ALL we need. God ascends every problem, and makes it beyond what we could ever strive for, or even imagine. Understanding this makes your manifestation miraculous. “ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven” -Thessalonians. So invite God in, and intend for the total restoration and resolution beyond your wildest dreams.

So WHY the heck are bad circumstances GOOD?

Because if you follow the steps below, the negativity will be the EXACT stepping stone that you need to ELEVATE yourself to EXACTLY where you want to be! No one else is exactly like you, you need THIS to get where YOU want to be. SO stop panicking, and STOP REACTING, and start Iinviting.

Connecting your circumstance with God:

(Awareness / silence / nothingness / The divine / The creator)

Here is HOW you do this:

  1. Unifying Your Experience with God:
    At the core of this perspective is the understanding that every circumstance that you go through is an extension of the collective experiences and also the experience of a higher power. You are not in this ALONE. God, the divine, the creator is experiencing this too. NOTICE this. Become aware of this.
  2. Surrendering to Divine Guidance:
    Embracing this perspective involves letting go of control of the process. It is already solved, so invide awareness in and let go. Trusting your journey to a higher powe is about letting go and letting God.
  3. Transcending the Individual Self:
    By recognizing that our experiences are part of a greater divine plan, we move beyond our individual perspective of pain and suffering, if YOU suffer, God also suffere, HE (she / it) wants this resolved too. The solution, and restoral of harmony is in the whole universes interset. Not JUST yours.
  4. Finding Wisdom in Negative Circumstances:
    Each experience, be it positive or negative, holds valuable insights and wisdom. It just does. Don’t fight that part.
  5. Trusting the Journey:
    Trust and faith ascends and trancends your every negative circumstance into its polar opposite of absolute harmony, more that you dreamt of, it just does. Don’t fight that part. This is not “this or something better”, it is “better than I could EVEN have imagined”. Trusting that God is present in every experience and, by GRACE, elevate us through every circumstance. This is how miracles happen.
  6. Letting Go: Holding on to negative circumstances on our own, trying to understand without inviting God into our experience is like a caterpillar trying to undertsand what is happening and fighting against becoming a cocooned mush. There is a complete transformation waiting to happen, namely, a complete transformation of YOUR STATE (A Neville Goddard term) You must FULLY LEAVE your old state, and become your new state. SOmehwre in between a caterpillar and a butterlfy there is a state, even for a split second, of nothing, of neither, this is the moment of change. GOD makes this change.
  7. Intend, and invite, and your job is done: Your deliberate intention, and your invitation of the divine into your negative circumstance transforms it into the “butterfly” it was meant to be.
