Decide what you no longer want
You don’t always need a perfectly clear vision of your future to begin changing your life. Sometimes it starts with realizing that the way you are living, feeling, or experiencing life no longer feels right for you. There is so much pressure around manifestation and personal growth to know exactly what you want, to visualize every detail, and to feel completely certain about the outcome. But many people are still discovering themselves while they heal, grow, and outgrow old versions of their identity. At certain stages of life, the only thing that feels fully clear is the discomfort. The exhaustion. The emotional heaviness. The realization that you can no longer keep accepting experiences that diminish your peace, self-worth, or emotional wellbeing. That awareness is important. The moment you stop normalizing what hurts you, your internal world begins to shift. You start seeing things differently. Your reactions change. Your standards change. The version of you that once tolerated certain situations slowly disappears. Clarity often develops through movement, not through having every answer in advance. You are allowed to leave behind what no longer aligns with you even before you fully understand where you are going next. A new life can begin with a simple realization: “I cannot continue living like this anymore.” For many people, that is the beginning of everything.

God, your writing is so authentic and true. I got into manifestation thinking I was somehow escaping the trappings of the world, but I realize now I only got into more of the pressure of having to manifest a certain way from manifestation culture! Yes, this is the beginning of everything to make that shift! I once did this in the past, and it was wonderful. Then I learned about manifesting. I then undid what I learned in the past to find out what I had been missing in so far as understanding why I never manifested my desires from whatever mistakes I made. I then got into more and more of the pressure of manifestation culture and started to forget why I came into this. Thank you so much! This really has helped me to come back into the right place again!

I AM
I keep seeing people ask: “Did Neville teach that we are God?” Neville’s answer was centered on consciousness, not the human ego. He taught that the divine presence people search for externally is actually the awareness within them — the “I AM.” His perspective was deeply rooted in scripture and mystical interpretation. One of the verses Neville referenced most was: «“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.” (Psalm 82:6)» Jesus later repeats this verse in John 10:34 after being accused of blasphemy. Neville believed this was revealing man’s divine nature rather than promoting separation between God and humanity. Another foundational verse for Neville was: «“I AM THAT I AM.” (Exodus 3:14)» He taught that “I AM” is the name of God and that every person uses this divine identity constantly through awareness itself. This is why Neville often said: «“Your own wonderful human imagination is God.”» He was not speaking about personality, status, or self-importance. He was referring to the creative power of consciousness. This same idea appears in writings outside the Bible canon. In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus says: «“The Kingdom is inside of you.”» And also: «“When you know yourselves… you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father.”» Neville interpreted these teachings psychologically. To him, scripture described states of consciousness and inner transformation. The Gospel of Philip contains another statement that aligns closely with Neville’s view: «“Truth did not come into the world naked, but in symbols and images.”» This mirrors Neville’s teaching that the Bible is written in symbolic language and must be understood inwardly. Ancient Hermetic texts also carry similar ideas. In Poimandres, humanity is described as divine in nature and connected to the mind of God. People should also remember that Neville did not arrive at these conclusions casually. He spent years studying scripture, Hebrew symbolism, mysticism, Kabbalah, and esoteric teachings before forming his interpretation of the Bible.

Thank you for this well documented research. This is truly a gift, a blessing to see it all laid out in this way.

The secret technique that unlocks your manifestation
There’s no secret method, magic affirmation, or one-time technique that suddenly changes your entire life overnight. Anyone selling manifestation that way is usually selling fantasy, not real transformation. Real manifestation work goes deeper than surface-level positivity. It requires honesty, self-awareness, discipline, and the willingness to look at the beliefs, assumptions, fears, and emotional patterns that have been shaping your reality for years. Neville Goddard never taught people to chase techniques. He taught that consciousness is the only reality. The techniques were never the power. You are the power. Techniques are only tools meant to help you move into a new state of being. A genuine coach doesn’t just throw temporary motivation at you or promise instant miracles. They help you untangle the stories, identities, and assumptions you’ve been living from so the change becomes natural and lasting. A lot of people are attracted to glamorous promises because they want relief fast, and that’s understandable. But lasting results come from depth, consistency, and genuine inner work. Don’t rush the process. Do the work properly. When the transformation is real within you, the results stop feeling forced because your entire state has changed.

Thank you SO much for making a video to respond to this! I truly feel touched that you went out of the way to respond to my comment with a whole video. It really helps me to see you lay this all out, especially with acknowledgment of the difficulty of this, and what it is like when things are "quiet." I never thought of that--they do get quiet and I often then at that moment freak out. The way you put "not interrupting the subconscious" has really made this click for me. What astonishes me is to recognize this has been going on my entire life and I kept misunderstanding it and causing so much inner turmoil by going back to the old story. Thanks for putting into context not acknowledging the old story also when it gets quiet. Hearing it in words helps together in a context allows my brain to recognize a new pattern to anchor myself to! I appreciate how you humanize this path and acknowledge the real moments of what it is like. Neville Goddard didn't do that as far as I know--in a way, although he put it out in a kind of scriptural precise fashion, it makes it harder to relate to without having it explained from someone who acknowledged the vulnerabilities. So glad I stumbled across you from my algorithm Ioana! And nice to see you. I thought you were British since it said you were in the UK. Where are you from?

Holding your assumptions
Are you actually holding your assumptions? A lot of people say they’re visualizing, changing beliefs, rewriting inner conversations… and yet nothing changes. It feels like a loop. Like you’re doing everything right but reality isn’t moving. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: you’re not stuck because your affirmations are wrong… you’re stuck because your reactions are unchanged. This is the part most people miss. You can sit in a beautiful state during visualization, feel powerful, aligned, chosen… and then the moment life “tests” you — a message doesn’t come, money is delayed, someone acts cold — you react from the old self. And that reaction is the real assumption. Not what you say in your room. Not what you write in your journal. But how you respond when reality doesn’t match yet. Neville taught this clearly: Your outer world is a reflection of your state of consciousness — not your occasional thoughts, but your dominant state. And your dominant state is revealed in your reactions. If you’re triggered, anxious, doubting, spiraling — that’s the state you’re actually occupying, no matter how good your affirmations sounded an hour ago. So people end up doing this cycle: They imagine → feel good → reality shows the old story → they react → they reinforce the old story → they imagine again… And they call it “trying.” But what Neville really points to is this: You don’t just enter the state. You remain in it. You hold it especially when it’s hardest to. That means: When nothing is happening — you stay certain. When things look opposite — you stay unmoved. When the old story shows up — you refuse to emotionally agree with it. Because your reaction is your agreement. And whatever you consistently agree with… hardens into fact. So the real question is not: “Am I visualizing enough?” It’s: “Who am I being when life doesn’t conform yet?” That’s where the shift happens.

I want to run something by you, which you said in a comment to me earlier. It was so helpful I saved it. So I am copying and pasting here. It seems in ways contradictory to holding the assumption even when it is hardest to, as a form of more effortless allowing. I can see how this ties in, but would like to hear from you how you would word that connection it in terms of what you said in this post, if you don't mind: My comment a month or two ago (on your post about "keeping coming back") was: "The subconscious mind processes your intentions in the background throughout your body and nervous system automatically. How do you see this adjustment of "keep coming back" fit into that process? I believe it is only necessary to the point we are plugged in enough for the subconscious manages things in the background." Your response was: "The subconscious does start working in the background once something is impressed-but most people don't stay in that state long enough for it to stick. "Keep coming back" isn't about reminding the subconscious what to do. It's about not interrupting it. Every time you spiral or react to the 3D, you shift states-and your body follows that instead. So coming back is just stabilising the new state until it feels natural. Once it is natural, you don't need to do it anymore-it runs automatically." ---- So, to be more specific, the question I'm asking is, how would you more explicitly word this process above, of "not interrupting the subconscious" in terms of maintaining the state even when it is hardest to? You wrote "You stay certain, even when it is hardest to. When things look opposite, you remain unmoved. When the old story shows up, you refuse to emotionally agree with it...because your reaction is your agreement..." These all do point to that, now that I put it into context, but I think maybe it would help all of us to reframe it more directly in terms of not interrupting the subconscious and the way that looks from the inside in relation to our inner world and not the outer world per se, since the subconscious is already doing its job. It seems highly advantageous to me to have clarity about this.

I'm very into thinking and love thinking but unfortunately this comes at a huge cost with OCD and am learning all I can.
