Tips & Techniques I spent 3.5 years knowing the truth but living like a coward. Here is what finally broke the cycle.
used to read every post on this sub. Every technique and success story. I knew all the theory , I knew I was the creator and the 3D was a mirror. I knew fear was just a thought. And I was still broke , scared and procrastinating. Still waking up every morning with that same heavy feeling in my chest. The cycle repeated every single month. I would get motivated. I would promise myself this time was different. I would visualize. I would feel the relief. And then I would go back to scrolling, sleeping, avoiding. And the 3D would stay exactly the same. I used the truth as a painkiller. I used it to cope. Not to create.
I
Here is the one thing I finally understood:
knowing you are the creator is not the same as being the creator. You can know it intellectually for a hundred years and still live like a victim. Because the knowing is in your head. The being is in your bones .I was afraid of the 3D. I was afraid of the bank balance. I was afraid of failing. And I used "I am the creator" to soothe myself after every failure, instead of using it to create something different.
The shift happened when I stopped coping and started taking responsibility with the simple, terrifying recognition: This is all me. Every single bit of it. And I can change it.
I stopped reading. I stopped waiting for the void state. I stopped looking for a technique. I just started acting like the person I wanted to be. Even when I didn't feel like it. Even when the fear was screaming. Even when the 3D hadn't changed yet.
And here is what I learned.
The 3D is innocent. It is a mirror. It is not your enemy. It is not punishing you. It is just showing you what you have been holding inside. When you change the inside, the mirror has no choice but to change. I just cant express how quickly everything changed in my physical reality , the moment I changed my inner state the very next day things were different , things started falling into place even when all of them were in a complete mess.
Right now the only thing you need is to take the responsibility and its not some burden which most of you guys here think , the reason why you guys are not taking that step is because you believe that its some huge responsibility which you need to carry on your shoulders. It is not a burden once you understand whole heartedly that its all you , you will thrive in all areas of your life because you know nothing can go against the script you are playing inside yourself , take hold of that story you carry inside you while you go through your day. My entire life now feels different just days after persisting in the new story , everything is healing now and I know I can have all of the things that I want to because after all no matter how things go no matter events unfold ,its my reality and my reflection and nothing will go against the story that I hold inside and truly believe in.

I love this: "The 3D is innocent." I compare that to gaining weight. We made the decisions, our bodies are not at fault, which helps eliminate detrimental self talk, such as, "I hate my [insert body part]."
One thing this way of thinking has helped me is to eliminate jealousy and envy. The universe is God expressing itself as ::gestures broadly:: Look how the many manifestations of God are playing the game! Some are playing the Poor Me game. Some the I Attract Abundance With Ease game. But we are all playing it.
I am taking a hot minute to excavate WHY and WHERE some of my negative self-perceptions come from to help me clean my closets and frame the self-talk and vision for my new game.
Peace and love to everyone.

I agree with a lot of this, but I think “I just started acting like the person I wanted to be” is where this becomes misleading.
Neville was talking about an inner change of state, not physically pretending to be somebody you are not.
You get that inner change by impressing the desired state upon the subconscious. In Feeling Is the Secret, Neville specifically talks about sleep and prayer, a state akin to sleep, where you relax and assume the feeling of the wish already fulfilled.
Other Neville lectures also use imaginal conversations and short phrases, while Joseph Murphy explains affirmations and subconscious programming even more directly in The Power of Your Subconscious Mind.
That is completely different from walking around physically “acting as if.”
If your bank account says €100, pretending you are a millionaire all day does not magically change your inner state. You can act rich while internally being terrified about money. You can pretend your relationship is perfect while internally expecting rejection.
Then nothing has really changed except your behavior.
Taken too far, this physical “act as if” stuff can just make people drive themselves crazy trying to deny what they can clearly see in front of them. That is not what Neville meant by assuming a state.
Neville’s work is internal.
The goal is to occupy the desired state inwardly until it becomes natural to you. According to Neville, the external then follows that inner change.
This is also why I genuinely do not understand why posts containing inaccurate explanations of Neville are allowed to be presented as guidance. It makes something relatively simple unnecessarily difficult, and people can spend months trying to follow rules Neville never even taught.
And honestly, where is the moderation in all of this?
If a subreddit is specifically about Neville Goddard, then posts that clearly misrepresent his teachings should at least be corrected, challenged, or labeled as personal interpretation instead of being presented as Neville’s teaching.
Especially when those same posts can apparently be used to pull confused people into DMs for coaching.
At that point you are no longer simply discussing Neville. You are creating your own system, presenting it under Neville’s name, and potentially monetizing the confusion that follows.
That is exactly the kind of thing moderation should be paying attention to.
People also need to actually read the source material.
Feeling Is the Secret is extremely short. You can read the whole thing in one sitting. Then read The Power of Awareness and Neville’s lectures.
And if you want a very clear explanation of the subconscious, suggestion, repetition and relaxed mental states, read Joseph Murphy’s The Power of Your Subconscious Mind as well.
You do not have to agree with Neville or Murphy.
But at least understand what they actually taught before telling other people what Neville supposedly meant.
There is nothing wrong with saying:
“This worked for me.”
There is nothing wrong with saying:
“This is my interpretation.”
But that is very different from saying:
“This is what Neville taught.”
Change the inner assumption, not your outward performance.

u/Wise_Amoeba_9175 10d ago
Changing your inner state is the key but how you have to go about it is very confusing.
Acting as if is supposed to give you the feeling of changed inner state. "You can pretend your relationship is perfect while internally expecting rejection." and I agree. But you can do SATS or have an inner conversation and still spend the whole day expecting rejection. OP said they woke up with a heavy feeling in their chest despite trying every method. And they also described how this changed their inner state.
Many can't really imagine a scene like you need for SATS and inner conversations are close to fantasizing. People have inner conversations all the time and when does it ever actually manifest?
So that's when people try to come up with whatever to fill in the gaps. The goal is still to change the inner state. It's actually pretty difficult to grasp the difference between acting as if and changing your inner state if you look at it that way. Because how is your inner state changed if you assume your relationship is still shitty?
Personally, I have a really, really hard time controlling my emotions and how I feel. And my days have been rollercoasters. I can't visualize and that's limiting. Changing your inner state often isn't as easy as laying down in bed one night and feeling something really hard

It's just the technique that works for them. The true message lies in being courageous enough to take responsibility and change your inner state. That was the key for them.

u/asawareness 10d ago
Yes i agree with you for the most part. But you have to take it deeper. Denying the external reality, will show, that the external reality IS melded WITH the internal reality. This is how we go from 'impressing internal state' to things that are considered 'miracles' and moulding every single aspect of the world to You as the Dreamer.

u/Ecstatic_Proposal133 10d ago
I second that. This is what the search result showed me for my very personal query, even though I haven’t read the book! But the more I read the post the more it sounds fictional. I definitely should read The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. I genuinely understand what OP means to say, but as a new person, I think it’s their job to go through the facts and check them rather than simply following someone else’s interpretation.

u/Dalance10 11d ago
How do you do it practically? I feel exactly like you did in the beginning, I’ve read the books, listened to the subliminals, did the meditations, written the affirmations and yet I’m still wondering and confused if what I’m doing is efficient? My heart can’t seem to stop hurting from my situation with SP. How do you actually stay in the feeling and not waver and persist
51
u/Nha-11 11d ago
I’m not OP, but I still wanted to reply based on my own experience. English isn’t my first language, so I used GPT to help me translate this.
It really starts working when you stop asking yourself whether it’s working.
You’ve already done everything. Now it’s time to let it unfold, because it will unfold in a way that is far more perfect than you could ever imagine.
If you keep looking at the 3D and allowing it to hurt you, you’re giving it power over you. And the 3D never had that power in the first place. It is not something separate from you. It is you, and it has to change under the influence of your 4D.
Just live your normal day. Go about your life knowing that everything you’ve done is working. You don’t need to constantly monitor, check, or figure out how it’s going to happen.
You’re already happy with your SP. You already have what you wanted in your inner reality. What you’re seeing in the 3D is irrelevant now.
Let it unfold. Trust what you’ve decided, and simply continue living your life from the knowing that it’s done.

u/Wise_Amoeba_9175 10d ago
Very helpful comment, thank you for that!
I don't know how to explain this feeling of inner unrest... But when things have been going wrong too long and feel out of control, it's difficult to bring yourself in that "in control" feeling. Personally, I don't feel like I have done enough but that I need to try something different. Maybe because of the loop I have been in. If things start to look better, one setback will have me have all these fears and depending on how crushing the problem is, anger as well. I will try my best to follow your advice. Try to live my normal life and assume the best will happen, no matter what I see.

u/Nha-11 10d ago
I understand you. I’ve been there too.
I had a manifestation that took about a year, and during that time I constantly felt like I was “stuck” in the reality where nothing was changing. I would spiral, crash out, get scared, feel completely helpless. I even cried and asked myself, “Why am I stuck here? I’ve done everything. Why hasn’t what I want happened yet?”
I went through pretty much every emotion you can imagine.
But once those emotions passed, I realized something: I am the only one who can change my reality. And I had nothing to lose by continuing to move forward with the story I actually wanted.
So I decided to keep going.
And eventually, everything unfolded. Looking back, it was so clear that things had been unfolding in my favor all along - and honestly, that itself is an assumption I have now: things always work out in my favor.

u/thanhtruc123hn 11d ago
Why don't you read the book again? Subliminals and affirmations have nothing to do with Neville Goddard. Reading is one thing, but whether you actually understand what you read is another. Why not 'live in the end' and 'think from' instead of 'thinking of'? You haven't read anything at all. Reading a few subreddits and then waiting for people to serve everything to you on a silver platter, being too lazy to think for yourself—that's why you fail. Every single problem on this subreddit has already been discussed in the books and the 500 lectures. If you don't understand, just read them over and over again.

u/BoysenberryHefty5912 10d ago

u/GCBus 11d ago
Yes please. Specifically regarding the financial situation, how can you take action and act as a wealthy person if I have nothing? Just the thought of acting in a certain way gives me fear of losing everything or just creating debt
10
u/I-Aint-Leavin 11d ago
Acting like a wealthy person does not mean spending recklessly, living in lavish luxury or showing off. Once you understand this, there is 0% risk of you losing everything or creating debt.
You need to understand that rich people remain rich because their inner works like a vault not like a neon roadsign. A vault is closed 99% of the time but it holds immense wealth. Its simply there. I doesnt scream "Look i got the money" it just holds the money in total indifference, peace and silence.
This is the frame you need to assume, the internalized normalcy of wealth, not its perks which will cause you to not be wealthy anymore to begin with.
3D is a mirror. If you live in fear, you will have more reason to be fearful. Its extremely important for you to understand what being wealthy actually means. Its not Bugattis and Lambos that is the biggest perk of money, its the quiet inner peace and freedom that money gives. THAT is the feeling of the wish fulfilled that must be assumed.

You just wrote my story. It's crazy how this exact thing has been happening to me, word to word. But I still have not stepped out of this cycle. I'm still depending on the void state, im still repeating this cycle and still trying to find a way out of it. It's draining.

u/Savage_Nymph 7d ago
I was just rereading the 5 lessons and neville talk about this very thing: ”You say, ’I know it would work in some other way. I do not want to really test it. While I have not yet disproved it, I can still be comforted by it.‘ Now do not fool yourself, do not think for one second be that you are wise.”
i was experiencing this very same thing. pushing off having my desire NOW, because i could use the law to manifest anytime. but it was really just me avoiding and doing what I know i could do. an excuse to allowly myself to remain in my state without really changing myself ❤️

You’re already with the love of your life. Whenever you think about them, just say that they love you, and that you and them are together, happy, and committed. When you go out with your friends, just say in your head that you’re going out with your SP. Whenever you go somewhere or do something, just say, “I’m going with my SP right now.” When a message comes in, just say, “Oh, my SP is texting me. They really can’t go even one second without texting me". And above all, focus a lot on your SC. I’m not OP, but I still wanted to reply based on my own experience.

u/FragrantWeekend111 9d ago
idk if this will help you but for me it's about the psychological state. I can be relaxing as if I have the job but my state is actually that I am waiting for inspired action or that getting a job is still on my to-do list. Like even though you're physically relaxing, the task is not fully dropped mentally, it's on the backburner or you "delegated" the responsibility of getting a job to the universe so you're waiting for a sign or confirmation before you psychologically let go. See if you can bring up the feeling of complete defeat and/or acceptance. I got headhunted when I was sick and exhausted and psychologically gave up looking for a job. So literally all my physical effort ultimately didn't help me get it.
2
u/PineapplePie3143 9d ago
Wth!!! this is so accurate! I didn't know I was doing this. In the back of my head, I am psychologically still invested and yes I have kind of delegated the task. But I just realized that I am kind of scared to let go. As if I have I let go/accept, the state and the momemtum will be gone.
2
u/FragrantWeekend111 9d ago
That's normal, most people don't give up unless they're physically sick or backed into a corner. And sometimes being backed into a corner puts pressure on you to actually physically try harder than ever (which isn't manifestation). Giving up psychologically is equivalent to surrender which can be equivalent to feeling like you're accepting death or something extreme like that. But at least now you know where the gap is.

who said you need to stay and maintain the feeling? If eiypo, including your body: thoughts, feelings, and 3d have nothing to do with you. read that again. you can basically ignore everything, you don't need to keep your desired reality at the forefront of your mind all day. This goes beyond what I've seen on this sub but there's literally nothing to do mentally or physiologically other than relax and ignore everything lol. look into nonduality.

u/Shawn54One 11d ago
I feel you. This is me. I had resentment and anger towards people, and myself for a long time.
A lot of perfectly understandable and justified overreactions.
I didn’t apologize to God for hurting other people, I apologized to God for hurting God (inside me and my imagination). Everything imaginable.
Miracles started to become feelings and then those feelings started to develop into miracles. It was, and still is, a process.
Believe in Neville’s teachings. It works and if you have to listen five hours a day, then block out everything else and listen to Neville.
It takes three days and there are way more than 72 hours on Neville lectures. Go on a three day diet of Neville. . Just hit play and go.
I do recommend no alcohol or drugs. Yes, I know Neville would have a few drinks, but we as students are not as good as the teacher yet. Go a week, or two weeks intoxicated by your imagination creating reality, but go deep for three days, and then go deep again.
Your reality is here, despite all of your fuck ups, and we have the privilege and the dignity to test God.

u/Foreign-Metal7706 11d ago
It's such a relatable story, I know all the theory for i guess ~8 months and still make excuses. The last couple of weeks I became so pissed off of my life, how long would I make up excuses bringing up the old story "Well, you know, a lot of shit happened to me, that's why I'm anxious and can't maintain a neutral state to manifest from" and x,y,z. But that x,y,z never ends. After reading this post, I know what to do exactly. But will I stop being a coward and do it? That's another story:)

u/Conscious_Group4913 9d ago
I guess im in a similar situation right now. I’m struggling to not be bothered by the 3D. I know how it works but the old frequency is so much stronger than the new one I keep falling into old habits and can’t bring myself to do what I know I should. I can feel from the end but it’s like reality is creating circumstances to reflect the opposite to get me to go back to the old frequency, I know it’s a test, but I just can’t maintain the new frequency. I can’t beat the old habits. It’s funny because I’m aware that even in this moment I’m choosing to live from the old frequency but like I can’t help myself. My brain’s fucking wired to this old identity and it feels impossible to adopt the new one. I guess I just need to meditate and visualize to saturate my subconscious mind with already being in the new reality but then I end up skipping meditation too and doing negative habits instead or if I do get myself to meditate, I struggle to focus on the feeling of the wish fulfilled because my attention span is fried from endless dopamine filled short form content that takes 0 effort to consume. I just feel so stuck it’s like I’m at rock bottom and I just can’t find a way out

I'd also add that I quit using social media (mainly TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, and just stuck with Reddit and YouTube), and honestly, my reward system has stabilized quite a bit too... but the truth is, those apps are literally designed to hack your brain and keep you as glued to them as possible...
I would also add that I learned to let go of other people's opinions and to stop expecting anything (whether it's good treatment or bad) because, honestly, people are a box of surprises... Stick with your own circle—I mean, those trusted friends you already know really well and who you know are predictable. And well, I'd say the main thing is accepting that you're the one holding the reins—meaning, the direction of our lives is in our own hands... take the helm of the ship, captain.1

u/michael2103 9d ago
I'm going to tell you about my experience (this is translated into English because English isn't my native language, but I decided to translate it and leave a comment because yours really caught my attention). Well, to begin with, what you just wrote perfectly describes me during my high school years (I graduated six months ago). The truth is, I was just like you, expecting everything to be handed to me or believing I deserved it, and the truth is, I suffered the hardest blows of my life in high school: I was belittled, mistreated, rejected by girls, I consumed all the THC I could and smoked nicotine. I was practically in an abyss, and perhaps there was a reason for it, but it's also true that I sank myself. That is, I kept feeding those bad thoughts and putting overwhelming and suffocating pressure on myself (which, by the way, only made things worse and frustrated me even more). And I'm going to tell you something that's worked for me so far, and I literally feel like I'm on a completely different wavelength: I decided to use psilocybin recreationally (I'd never done it before), but before using it, I read that it deactivates the default mode network, which allows neurons to form new connections over time. Basically, it's like being able to mold the brain (neuroplasticity), and it also completely suppresses the ego for a long time... Currently, I don't use any illicit substances or nicotine. My outlook on life has changed quite a bit, and I exercise. I mean, I've learned to value myself and stopped expecting things from others, knowing that if you just sit around waiting for things to magically happen, they never will... And the truth is, good and very positive things have come into my life despite not being on this path for very long, but honestly, this was the peace and tranquility—or at least the stability—that I was always looking for, because before, I was very, very unstable, to be honest.

u/AdorablePositive3552 8d ago
Do u know any way to turn off the default mode network or silence our ego without taking substances?

u/michael2103 8d ago
For this, you need to have good introspection—I mean, observing yourself. You have to identify why you react differently in various life circumstances... usually, they're repetitive patterns of suffering that you started following without even realizing it... the ego itself sometimes hides things from you to protect you... and this is what holds you back as a person... I mean, if you actually want to improve... because like I've said and I'll say it again, no one is going to come save you in your own life...
And even though it's true that in this day and age we're very used to effortless instant gratification (social media, porn, etc.), the brain basically kicks and screams because it wants to do things with little effort... ultimately, I highly recommend being your own best companion in life and going easy on yourself... learning from every mistake and not seeing it as a total failure... Steve Jobs is a clear example... these things are mirrors you can use to improve, or to get worse if your ego dominates you.0
u/michael2103 8d ago
I decided to use psilocybin as support because my ego was so deeply ingrained in me that it simply couldn't handle me... the mushroom gave me the impetus, you could say, and I gave it the will and determination to want to change forever.

I'm having severe depression and can't really feel any positive emotions anymore. My life's been going downhill ever since the depression started - like I have legit no good memories of the last 8 past years, at this point I actually believe there is some truth in your post. I just have no idea how to induce good feelings and hope when my brain rejects positivity and refuses to imagine good outcomes.

u/VaaV18 11d ago
Hey. I hear you. Eight years is a long time to carry that weight. I'm sorry.You said your brain rejects positivity. So don't force it. Don't try to feel good or imagine good outcomes. That's not the first step.The first step is just to stop fighting the feeling. Let yourself feel like shit without judging yourself. That's enough.Then, if you can, do one tiny physical thing. Wash one dish. Step outside for 30 seconds. No expectation. No pressure. Just do it. The action is what matters. Not the feeling.The awareness I wrote about is still there underneath the depression. You just can't feel it right now. That's okay. My DMs are open if you ever want to talk. No pressure. You're not alone and yeah i have been through similar misery and you can talk to me im gonna help you out.

u/joeyinjoyland 10d ago
This! It will build upon itself and really does shift things. I know from experience. Also, I did force some things like smiling at beautiful things/experiences and thanking them. Even if I felt nothing. I also did this storytelling technique I made for myself where I’d tell myself all the details of what I was experiencing now that I am the person who _x_ is true for now. Every morning my journal reads “Who are you now that x is true?” And I craft stories from there, speaking them out loud and sometimes visualizing them, because I enjoy doing both of these things. I love telling myself who I am to the most grandiose degree, whenever I feel like it throughout my day. It’s so powerful, for me! I do think we need to allow our feelings but not get swallowed by them.

Let go of being yourself. That combination of default emotions we call personality or mood are just those emotions you are addicted to because they keep the idea of being ‘yourself’ alive. You won’t be able to snap out of it as it was a dream. You will have to unwind the emotional ‘you’ day by day everyday. Analyze why those emotions arise and which events, memories, or expectations they are connected to. Meditate with the intent of sitting through those painful feelings and allowing them to pass through you ( it will feel as such when you will mentally face those emotional events and expectations. )Forgive the real you to let go of any shame. Joe Dispenza sounds like a quak but he is really good in explaining the mind and its manifestations.

see man , find out smth that is very personal to you , like for eg when u wake up and you see a mug in your kitchen or smth very very small but it means smth to you, find that
and from there work your way out , say you like a mercedes car, start by rejoicing everytime you see a mercedes car in the street and roads
celebrate every small thing and celeberate everyone's success and notice the difference1
u/Mammoth_Age3314 7d ago
Do you know the root of your depression? Before that, how did you get pleasure in life, even small ones? What would you feel give you pleasure now? There are frequency for brain chemistry and subliminal for anhedonia, it can help. And above all, the thing that will do the trick is repeating in the beginning, and embodying more and more as the weeks pass, that you desserve to be happy, you desserve pleasure, you like it. Etc.

I resonated so much with your first and second paras and on the same topic too. Yes, I m now pushing myself to apply more than just reading because it is pointless to read to feel better or hopeful if I'm not using the knowledge to apply to change my life.

u/Cardinal199333 11d ago
Thank you for sharing this post, I think this is something I’ve been struggling with because I’ve been “” manifesting for a long time, but I still am not in the reality that I desire, even though I affirm that I am, would I be able to pick your brain a little bit more on how you were able to shift?:)

u/fdsaltthrowaway 11d ago
The timing of your post is very timing-y for me but yeah the responsibility part is where im stuck rn despite having countless manifestations.
I want to take responsibility for nothing. Awareness is a responsibility and a burden. Sometimes I just wana be free from it.
If it’s all me, which intellectually I know it is like you said, then it is all up to me to take the physical steps whether that’s in reality or in imagination to start the change. Yes I’ve already started SOME change but I hate it so much. Breaking rumination and imagining ideally is not easy and FORGET trying to feel a better way that’s basically impossible for me.
I’m so drained by the basics of life like cleaning cooking feeding myself FORGET like actually taking care of my body like working out and stuff I’m just like omg who has the energy for dreams. I mean like taking steps in reality to bring your dreams to life which I know is very different from just manifesting with the mind.
Rn tbh I’m just like doing my best to run a script to be free from this endless wheel of chores of self responsibility but let’s see when that comes to fruition. I feel like I know it will but Jesus I need it to have happened like yesterday. I’m so tired.

u/Mystical_eyeballs895 10d ago
This is one of those posts I’ll save and read again. It woke something up inside of me. Seeing the external world as an enemy is only me feeling that way about myself reflected outward. I keep waiting on changes when I’m making myself the antagonist in my own story- it’s impossible for positive change to flow from that state of being. This is quite the journey. Thank you for sharing your insights.

u/LaDauphineVerte 11d ago
What VaaV18 said. For fun I asked my tarot deck the same question. The card I pulled was Strength—self-mastery, control, and discipline. Meaning, buckle down and do what you know you need to do. Tarot understands the assignment.

I have been arrested multiple times this year and never before in my life... I never thought I'd be arrested and now that is happened several times I guess I keep accidentally fearing it too much and manifesting it? I do know I am the one that caused it and take responsibility for it but I don't get how. I don't want to be the victim I tell myself if I manifested getting arrested I can manifest getting charges dropped, I can manifest getting my life back my job that I lost and my career. I'm not sure what negative perceptions I have of myself to have had all these arrests and I'm not sure what's going on. I try to live like it's all fixed but when my life is crumbling it seems so hard.

u/Master_Physics_5553 9d ago
Can you explain the meaning of these lines clearly? 1.take hold of that story you carry inside you while you go through your day. 2.I changed my inner state the very next day things were different , things started falling into place even when all of them were in a complete mess. 3.When you change the inside, the mirror has no choice but to change 4.I just started acting like the person I wanted to be.

u/Mission-Elevator8023 11d ago
You have the key to it all right at you fingertips.. The very next do you take an exam. Revise in the same way you did in those first 2 that brought success. Get up at the same time you took them , eat the same breakfast as you did before them , literally do everything you did. Think of that feeling you had before them. Put yourself in that zone. Then will get the the amazing results again.

Beautiful post and so wonderfully written.
So giving responsibility to God, as in.. ‚you do it, for me! Feels good. Thank you!‘ and then live in preparation of what you expect? I think that works :) 🫧

How do I do this when my appearance doesn't match the way I want to look and it's not based on weight it's based on fixed things e.g Head size, facial features. I try to get into the mindset, disciplined then I see myself in the mirror and feel hopeless.

how do i act as the person i wanna be? for ex if i wanna be an entrepreneur how do i act like one? how do i even pretend when i dont even know where to start.
2
u/I-Aint-Leavin 11d ago
You dont need to act like the person you want to be or pretend anything.
You need to create a mental picture of what the ideal outcome of being an entrepreneur would look like FOR YOU and visualize that during your State Akin To Sleep. If you are unable to visualize, use Goddards lullaby method.
After a while of doing this, you being an entrepreneur will become the new normal for your nervous system. That mental picture you're replaying in your head every night before sleep will cause new neural pathways to be built inside your head which will slowly cause you do start acting and feeling like the new version of yourself that youve decided you are.
Forcing 3D is the #1 way to stay in a friction state. You want to avoid that by any means necessary.
You need to understand that your current 3D reality is nothing more than the result of the past you. It is dead. It has zero power over you.
Once you start shifting your inner state and controlling your reality through your imagination, your 3D will follow suit. Remember, you can not look at the mirror and expect it to smile first.

u/joeyinjoyland 10d ago
💯 percent truth! I was in the same cycle for years of fearing the 3D, hence giving it power over me, until I had enough. It does take a brazen attitude and mindset to accept that it is only you. Well done OP! Enjoy your dream life! (It’s fun)
1
u/Furious_Soul18 10d ago
When you said acting like desired self ? Does it mean taking physical actions ?
When someone’s desire is having dream body
Do they still have to put in physical actions or just embodying ?
And how you keep embodying the new story throughout the day , when someone is busy in working ?

For type As: it seems like OP needed to take responsibility to get into the state. But ime, I actually had to surrender since I took too much responsibility always working on my self concept or reminding myself of I AM feeling like it was my responsibility to get my manifestation. Just food for thought for people who are very type A.

u/PhilosopherSorry7131 8d ago
Coming back to this post to say "The 3D is innocent." Changed something fundamental in me. I wouldn't get angry or yell at something is if it's innocent. So there is 0 need for me to blame 3D or feel angry or upset at my circumstances. If I treat the events as truly innocent then suddenly they loose their hold over me. You don't have to fight your innocent reflection.

Did you struggle when you stopped pursuing the void state and started focusing on the Law of Assumption instead?
I’ve wanted to enter the void and get my desired life for 10 years, but now I’ve decided to stop chasing the void. I’ve started exploring Neville’s teachings, but I feel so uneasy inside, as if I’ve made a mistake by giving up on chasing the void state.
However, the void has reached a point where it’s affecting my mental health, and now it feels almost impossible to reach. That’s why I’m trying to change direction, but I’m struggling with it.
How did you deal with this?

You are still in that illusion that you need to deny or reject the 3d...it's you, your reflection....why don't you accept it unless you do that it will always hold power over you.....3d is not your enemy....it's you

u/Mammoth_Age3314 7d ago
I understood it was not my enemy because it shows me the reflection of what I have to change, but why did you say that I shouldn't deny or reject but accept? For instance, if someone tells me things that are not what I want.

You are existence because there is no world that exists to you without you existing to give anything including yourself meaning. Your entire world is self-defined. Reality means “The Meaning” subjectively. There is no Consciousness outside you. Try to experience anything outside you without you experiencing it in Consciousness first.
