Make it across the Bridge without incidence!

You will Cross A bridge

A bridge of incidents wil appear in your world….

“If you tell them it came to pass because you simply imagined it – no, they will point to the series of events that led up to it, and they will give credit to the bridge of incidents, across which you walked towards the fulfillment of that state, and they will point out some physical thing that was the cause.

No, the cause is invisible, for the cause is God, and God is invisible to mortal eye.”

Neville Goddard

Faith will get you across the bridge, but can you mess uop your manifestation?

Neville Goodard on FAILIURE:

The Power Of Awareness Chapter 24 Failiure

This book would not be complete without some discussion of failure in the attempted use of the law of assumption. It is entirely possible that you either have had or will have a number of failures in this respect – many of them in really important matters.

If, having read this book, having a thorough knowledge of the application and working of the law of assumption, you faithfully apply it in an effort to attain some intense desire and fail, what is the reason? If, to the question “Did you persist enough?”, you can answer “Yes” – and still the attainment of your desire was not realized, what is the reason for failure?

The answer to this is the most important factor in the successful use of the law of assumption. The time it takes your assumption to become fact, your desire to be fulfilled, is directly proportionate to the naturalness of your feeling of already being what you want to be – of already having what you desire.

The fact that it does not feel natural to you to be what you imagine yourself to be is the secret of your failure. Regardless of your desire, regardless of how faithfully and intelligently you follow the law, if you do not feel natural about what you want to be, you will not be it. If it does not feel natural to you to get a better job, you will not get a better job. The whole principle is vividly expressed by the Bible phrase “you die in your sins” – you do not transcend from your present level to the state desired.

How can this feeling of naturalness be achieved?

The secret lies in one word – imagination. For example, this is a very simple illustration: assume that you are securely chained to a large heavy iron bench. You could not possibly run, in fact you could not even walk. In these circumstances, it would not be natural for you to run. You could not even feel that it was natural for you to run. But you could easily imagine yourself running. In that instant, while your consciousness is filled with your imagined running, you have forgotten that you are bound. In imagination, your running was completely natural.

The essential feeling of naturalness can be achieved by persistently filling your consciousness with imagination – imagining yourself being what you want to be or having what you desire.

Progress can spring only from your imagination, from your desire to transcend your present level.

What you truly and literally must feel is that with your imagination, all things are possible. You must realize that changes are not caused by caprice, but by a change of consciousness. You may fail to achieve or sustain the particular state of consciousness necessary to produce the effect you desire.

But, once you know that consciousness is the only reality and is the sole creator of your particular world and have burnt this truth into your whole being, then you know that success or failure is entirely in your own hands. Whether or not you are disciplined enough to sustain the required state of consciousness in specific instances has no bearing on the truth of the law itself – that an assumption, if persisted in, will harden into fact. The certainty of the truth of this law must remain despite great disappointment and tragedy – even when you “see the light of life go out and all the world go on as though it were still day”. You must not believe that because your assumption failed to materialize, the truth that assumptions do materialize is a lie. If your assumptions are not fulfilled, it is because of some error or weakness in your consciousness.

However, these errors and weaknesses can be overcome.

Therefore, press on to the attainment of ever higher levels by feeling that you already are the person you want to be. And remember that the time it takes your assumption to become reality is proportionate to the naturalness of being it.

Neville Goddard

Don’t remove the planks in the bridge:

Walk across a bridge that is strong, solid, and straight by maintaining faith, by rebuking doubts, and by revoking indecision. Anytime you allow fear doubt or indecision it is as if you are removing the planks out of the bridge, and suddenly it gets hard to cross.

You’ll get tempted to give up and turn back around.

-“It’s not working” you’ll say, but it is, it is working, your fear is working against you isn’t it?

You assumed a feeling of, let’s say, smelling roses. You are consious of smelling roses, but you don’t see any roses, then doubt creeps in. One plank romoved from your bridge.

TRUST your decision to smell roses. CHANGE the word MANIFEST, to the word DECISION. Or AWARENESS. “I decided to smell roses”. “I am aware of smelling roses”.

But you trust your senses instead of your DECISION, instead of your AWARENESS, and you say “I don’t smell any roses”. One MORE plank removed from your bridge.

The more FEAR, DOUB, or Indescision you let in, the more planks you remove from the bridge.

Decide that you will walk across a SOLID bridge, and keep your awareness of smelling roses. Decide, keep the faith, and be confident in your awareness of smelling roses.

Bridge of events:

“Who knows what you are imagining? No one knows, but you can sit down and imagine, and no one can stop you from doing it, but can you give reality to the imagined state?

If you do, yes, a bridge of incidents will appear in your world, and you’ll walk across some series of events leading up to the fulfillment of the imaginal state.

But don’t give causation to any physical step that you took towards the fulfillment of it.”

Revision: Neville Goddard’s Approach

October 12, 2023

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

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.
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)
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.
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.

Thank you for this, that I have manifested and asked for!

October 5, 2023

Take my message to heart and live by it. Practice the art of prayer daily, and then one day you will find the most effective prayer is: “Thank you Father.” You will feel this being within you as your very self. You can speak of it as “thou” yet know it is “I.” You will then have a thou/I relationship, and say to yourself: “Thank you, Father”. If I want something, I know the desire comes from the Father, because all thought springs from Him. Having given me the urge, I thank Him for fulfilling it. Then I walk by faith, in confidence that he who gave it to me through the medium of desire will clothe it in bodily form for me to encounter in the flesh.
Neville Goddard

Thank you for this, that I have manifested and asked for!

Neville Goddard’s “thank you” technique offers a powerful alternative when the traditional method of visualizing / imagining and feeling the wish fulfilled feels challenging. This technique is particularly useful when doubt, anxiety, or the complexity of the desired state hinder the imaigal scene or “living from the end” process. It is also useful ANY day, ANY time, and ALWAYS 😃

The essence of this technique lies in simplifying the process by condensing your desire into a concise, powerful phrase—typically “Thank you.” By saying “thank you” as if your desire has already been fulfilled, you shift your mindset into one of gratitude and assumption that your desire is already a reality. Neville Goddard also uses “Isn’t it wonderful!”. I personally use “I am so thankful and grateful” …(That I have thisthing that I have prayed for, it feels so good to have seen it come to fruition) You can elaborate however you like!

Expressing gratitude in advance creates a sense of already having received what you desire. It cultivates a feeling of contentment and faith, it eliminates doubts and anxieties, and it automatically makes you imagine the “state of the wish fulfulled”.

In practice, it’s about stating your desire clearly, then inwardly or outwardly saying “thank you” for its fulfillment. It’s a mantra that reminds you to acknowledge and appreciate the imminent realization of your wish, helping you embody the feeling of already having what you desire. Use it a few times a day, to reset your mind.

This quick little method is perfect for when your mind has spiralled, or when you start asking yourself why it hasn’t “worked”. Stop the spiral by expressing gratitude. Say it out loud, and be emphatic. Mean it when you say it!

Thank you!

I am so thankful and grateful that you found this post helpful!

The Neville Goddard, Most Important Manifesting Tools

April 28, 2022

The Neville Goddard, Most Important Manifesting Tools

If you find that you keep falling into undesired states, and it just seems impossible to remain in the state of the wish fulfilled, or even to get into the desired state, or to understand what it at all even means. Have you been on the internet and now you have come down with a case of method-madness? The 369 method? The 555 Method? The Water Method, or full moon spells, or vision boards and scripting and you just don’t know what method is the best?

The only way to transform reality around you is by the methods.

Learn the methods, but don’t make the method the destination!

If you are going to Las Vegas you can go by plane, bus or car. Either way you’ll get there. If you have method madness, you are spending your days wondering if you should take a plan, bus or a car. But you forgot that you are going to Vegas….

This isn’t about how you get there, it is about ACTUALLY getting there. This is the famous door slam. You are in Barbados! Slams door!

So not asking how to get there anymore implies that you are already there. “With all the vividness of the senses” BE THERE.

If you just can’t make the leap, to the state, or you just “don’t get it”, then follow the techniques that are most likely to put you in the state of the wish fulfilled. Use the right tool at the right time. You don’t use a hammer on a screw. And the method isn’t a magic spell, it is a toll meant to put you in the state of the wish fulfilled. I’m saying that the method DOESN’T MATTER. Don’t have “method madness”, just relax, BE STILL, and KNOW.

Neville’s best manifesting techniques!

Revision

This is the most surprising of all techniques in that the results seem to change the past. there are DAILY questions from people regarding this method. -Can revision change that I stumbled on a branch and fell in front of my the girl I liked in 3rd grade, and embarrassed myself and she never talked to me again, and now I feel like all girls, or women laugh at me behind my back?

Yes.

Revision changes everything.

In Daoism, and Tantric Buddhism, the place of change is “emptiness”, and if you can reach emptiness you can change the reality source and if you have changed the reality source the progression of events also change. That is the most esoteric and ancient description of Neville Goddard’s revision method that I can find. This isn’t even a new concept. Revision is a spiritual concept, it is a psychological tool, and it is a ingenious manifesting tool.

Before you ask one more time “Can revision change….” TRY IT. There is nothing any single method can do for you unless you try it. You have to do it.

I personally prefer to do revision in writing, using old fashioned pen and paper, but others like to use their imagination. Whatever way you choose to do it, the important part is “all the sensory vividness of reality”. Be there in person and experience the revision first hand, imagine the touch, the smells, the sounds.

Work through the “original situation” as much as you need to, the situation you wish didn’t happen in that way. If it is a trauma situation, now you have a chance to work through it here, without spiritual bypass, but from here on, leave the original event behind, because you are creating a new memory. If you have a lot to work through it could take more than one time of revision, and that is fine. There is no outside force here judging you. Whatever time you perceive that you need i fine.

Revision is the method for any unwanted memory, no matter how bad, and no matter when it happened, if it was earlier today, or 90 years ago, it works the same.

blog continues below video….

Prune the vine (Pruning shears)

Prune the vine. Is it the same as revision? How do I do it?

“Remember: you don’t have to abide by anything you dislike. It is but a vessel in your hand which is not properly shaped.”
Neville Goddard

“Become aware of the thoughts you are thinking and you will know a more pleasant life. It makes no difference what others do.”
Neville Goddard

“Every orthodox religious group would enslave you for the rest of eternity if they could; but when you leave that belief, its personification will curse your leaving, but their curse means nothing.“
Neville Goddard

“Have you imagined something and it hasn’t come to pass? Then what are you imagining right now? “
Neville Goddard

“When you imagined being secure did you forget the feeling? Are you imagining you are secure now? “
Neville Goddard

All of the above Neville quotes indicate the great benefits of “pruning the vine”. Imagine a rose bush the gets cut back in the fall, and how beneficial the pruning is to the blossoms that will come in the spring. The same is true for fruit trees. If you want fruit on you tree, you HAVE to prune the tree back. If you want the fruits of your labor, that is if you want your manifestation, the fruit of your imaginal scenes, to see the light of day, you have to prune back your unnecessary and disruptive thoughts. Those thoughts are like the obnoxious kid in the class room that ruins it for everyone else. Trim the thoughts out of your existence.

Actions that you take are experienced as a cause of an effect. ( cause and effect)

Cause of what effect?

You are the author and you are the cause of what happens to you.

Your thoughts are the cause.

Your habitual thoughts that is, and your thoughts are the cause of your habitual thoughts.

Lets break it down fully:

Action is preceded by a motivation.

Motivation preceded by your habitual thoughts.

Adopt a mental diet, or a religious or spiritual practice for THIS reason. This is the reason you want to force your thoughts by sheer will power, into a groove of uplifting and positive neural pathways.

If you can’t stop ruminating about everything that you don’t want.

If your thoughts are chronically negative and dwells on failure or disasters.

Use this method. There is no other thinker in your mind but you, so you have to use your will power to put a stop to this. Prune the vine.

If you diligently prune the vine, the rose blossom, the fruits on your tree will be abundant.

Pruning the vine is for everyone who is an over thinker or worry wart.

Imaginal Scene (Shifting / Quantum Jump)

The easiest and most well known of Nevilles methods, and if you have a generally easy disposition, if you don’t have a ton of trauma to heal, if you don’t tend to over thinking and rumination, then this is all you need. Skip everything else, because there is no benefit to over complicating this.

One imaginal scene that “clicks”, that feels done, IS done.

Inner conversations

You and I have had this experience, — I know I have many times. You have gone to a party, and many people you do not know, you meet them and the usual greetings: “Nice to know you,” “What a joy to know you,” “Pleased to meet you,” and the usual clichés; and then you have drinks and your little hors d’oeuvre, and then the party breaks up and they all separate. And you hear someone say, “What a creep,” “What a bore”; yet they were so pleased to meet them: “What a joy to know you.” The outer words did not conform whatsoever with what they were really thinking on the inside. And God sees, not the outer man; He sees the inner Man.
Neville Goddard

It’s the inner speech that is frozen in the world round about us.
Neville Goddard

“And some said, he is a good man; and others said, no, he is leading people astray. Others said, why, he is mad, and he has a. devil.” When he fed them with the loaves and the fish, — oh, they loved it, — getting things in the world. As long as they could have things and things and things, it was marvelous; and then he tells them of something entirely different: that they would go through “furnaces”, but the end would justify all the “furnaces” through which they would pass. The end would be God; they would awaken in the end, and they would awaken as God the Father. He didn’t tell them of the nature of the “furnaces.” He told them only of the end and that they would pass through “furnaces”; and passing through, they faltered. They could tell exactly what they were really doing on the inside. As we are told in the 50th Psalms: “If a man orders his conversations aright, I will show him the salvation of God.”
Neville Goddard

This method is necessary if you keep arguments alive by your very thoughts alone. If you have a lot of relationships that are difficult, strained, or if people avoid you and every interaction you have there is an issue of some sort, then start to change your inner conversations. With every thought that you have that upholds an argument, have two more thoughts that indicate how great the other person is doing. See their beautiful smile as they interact with you, indicating friendship and ease. Listen to them tell you how well they are doing, how healthy they are and how successful they are, and how loved they are. Hear them say how fulfilled they feel. Set some time aside a few time a day to create a deliberate mental conversation with your most strained relationships and watch the magic unfold. This method benefits the whole world in a domino effect of well being, so don’t underestimate the amount of good this will do beyond your own relationships. Your relationships will improve and even heal as soon as you decide to use this method.

Congratulatory conversation

This method is the one to use if you are manifesting a specific thing or event. Examples can be a raise, a promotion, the purchase of a home or car, a graduation, an engagement or marriage.

It doesn’t really matter what you think stands in your way, there is nothing that stands in your way. If you have imagined that there is distance or lack f money, or lack of opportunity somehow, use this method a stop imagining the problem or obstacle. Every time that you find yourself imagining the obstacle more, reach immediately for the congratulatory conversation.

An example of how a congratulatory conversation can be imagining sending a text message to a friend, about your success, and imagining them answering your text back with excitement. Neville Goddard used a handshake as the imaginary congratulatory conversation, but this might feel totally foreign to you, so use a mode of communication that is actually normal to you. Instead of a handshake, you can be on facetime, or if you like, have a face to face cup of tea with your friend, and replay the congratulatory conversation over a cup of tea, Whatever is a normal way to communicate for you, use that.

Neville uses examples where an AQUAINTANCE contratulates him, not a close friend. Remember you probably tell your closest people all your good news immediately, so let the person congratulating you be someone you know, that would have heard the good news through someone else! Boom!
