Who do you intend to be? Be them now.

Here’s a simple truth: we’re manifesting all the time. Every single second, every thought we have is a seed of manifestation. Your entire life, leading up to this very moment, has been a series of manifestations rooted in your beliefs and assumptions. Yet, somehow we tend to make such a fuss about the concept of manifesting, when, in reality, it’s an integral part of our daily lives.

Manifestation isn’t some elusive phenomenon that only happens when we meditate or perform a specific ritual. It’s not confined to vision boards or affirmations. No, it’s much more fundamental and pervasive than that. Our thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions are constantly shaping our reality, whether we’re aware of it or not.

Consider this: when you wake up and anticipate a good day, often, things do unfold positively. That’s a form of manifestation – your positive expectations influencing your reality. On the flip side, if you start the day expecting everything to go wrong, your day often follows that negative trajectory. Again, your beliefs manifesting your reality. Pretty simlified, but even “bigger” manifestations are the result of day to day assumptions.

So don’t complicate manifestation. It’s not an exclusive club. It’s not an occasional event. It’s not woo or snake oil. It is life.

Neville Goddard’s ‘Feel It Real’ method is all about bridging this normality of life with your desires.

“The actor cannot pretend. He must enter and become the part he has agreed to play. He cannot step upon the stage knowing he is a great actor who everyone recognizes. He must lose himself in the character by leaving his personality in the dressing room and entering the stage as the character he is to portray.”

-Neville Goddard

To make this method work, fully immerse yourself in being who you want to become, and this applies even if it is a material object you want, you become the person who HAS that already. You don’t “attract it”. Feel it as if it’s real, live it,breath it, be it. It’s not a trick or a gimmick; it’s about becoming the person NOW. Feeling it real is the same as FEELING IT NORMAL.

“So when God stepped upon the stage wearing this (body), he is Neville, one hundred per cent. He had to completely forget that he was God, yet knowing that he brought with him a pattern which would erupt and his memory would return. I agreed to play the part as Neville. He and I are one..”

– Neville Goddard

Feeling it real, or; Feeling it normal, bring the person you want to be into this moment. If you are having coffee, have the coffee as THAT you. Make it mundane and normal. Feeling it real is not: High vibrations, affirmations, imaginal scenes or journaling, although you can do ALL of those things, especially if you enjoy doing them!

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.
