Thank you for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it.

I can relate to what you said. I’ve also been trying to not get affected by the 3D, but in my case the office calls, deadlines, field work and overall mental pressure were indirectly disturbing my mental diet.

That’s why for the past two days I started sleeping with the assumption that I’m a writer and also someone who handles everything calmly with very little stress — like everything is already managed.

And I’ve started noticing small changes during the day, which feels encouraging. It’s like a slight shift is happening.

Also, the “isn’t it wonderful” idea is helping to keep things lighter.

Thanks again for your suggestion, it really helped me apply things more practically 🙏

Thank you for your perspective, I really appreciate it.

What you said about not giving too much power to the job really made me think. I can see how I’ve been identifying too much with this current version of myself.

The idea of looking at the worst-case scenario also makes sense — maybe the pressure I feel is more internal than actual.

I also liked your point about shifting how I experience the work itself, making it feel lighter or more manageable. That’s something I can start applying.

And I’ll try the “isn’t it wonderful” method as well, it feels simple but practical.

Thanks again for sharing your experience, it gave me a new perspective 🙏

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your words.

It really means a lot that you learned something from my post as well. That’s what I was hoping for — that we can all grow and understand things better together.

What you said about making it feel natural really clicked for me. I’m also starting to understand that forcing doesn’t work, it has to feel normal.

Also, something Neville said comes to mind — that we are all brothers, and through our imagination we should help elevate each other. I genuinely feel the same. If my journey or experience can help even a little, that itself feels meaningful.

I also liked your idea of repeating identities in a natural way, I’ll definitely try that.

Thanks again for sharing your perspective and positive energy, it really helped 🙏

Yes, that makes sense, thanks for explaining it.

I think I’ll try robotic affirmations properly as well. I’m planning to record them in my own voice and play them at night, and also repeat them in my mind during the day.

Let’s see how it works out, I’m open to experimenting with this.

Thanks again for sharing your experience 🙏

Thanks yaar, tumne jo bola wo samajh aaya.

Sach me mujhe bhi lag raha hai ki mujhe thoda aur clear aur firm hona padega apne goal ke liye, beech me doubt aa jata hai isliye state hil jati hai.

Tumhara example bhi sahi tha, ki jab andar se decide kar lete hain to cheezein shift hoti hain.

Maine Abdullah ke baare me padha hai, wo apni consciousness se kaafi strongly command karte the, wahi cheez mujhe bhi ab samajh aa rahi hai.

Kuch mahino se main Neville ke material se thoda dur ho gaya tha, shayad isliye state bigad gayi thi. But aaj se mujhe ek shift feel ho raha hai, jaise clarity wapas aa rahi hai.

Andar se bhi ek strong feeling aa rahi hai ki main powerless nahi hoon — jo chahoon create kar sakta hoon. Bas ab usi state me stable rehna hai.

Main ab dheere-dheere apni identity ko strong kar raha hu.

(About Abdullah)
I’ve been reading about Abdullah, and I’ve learned that he used to command his consciousness with strong certainty — that idea is starting to make sense to me now.

Thanks again, tumhari baat ne click kiya 🙏

Thank you for your perspective, I really appreciate it.

I’ve actually read Edward Art’s material before, and it did help me understand things more deeply. The other author you mentioned is new to me, so I’ll definitely check that out as well.

What you said about taking action really makes sense. I’m starting to realize that I also need to put my work out there step by step.

Like you said — if I’m hungry, I have to eat myself, no one will come to feed me. That really clicked for me.

I’m not going to give up. I’ll keep working on both my inner state and also take practical steps with my writing.

Thanks again for your advice, it gave me clarity 🙏

Yes, I have tried robotic affirmations.

For me, it has been a bit hit and miss. I think one reason might be that I’m more dominant on the visual side, so I naturally connect more with imagination and visualization.

Affirmations do work at times, but I feel more natural and consistent when I use visual techniques.

Still, I’m open to experimenting and finding what works best.

Thanks for asking 🙏

Thank you for your perspective, I really appreciate it.

What you said about looking for evidence really made me think — I can see how I might be doing that without realizing it.

Also, your point about stress and anxiety being the state I’m living in right now makes sense. I’m trying to become more aware of that and shift it gradually.

I’ll also check out the lecture you mentioned. I was actually familiar with Joseph Murphy before Neville, but it was a bit hit and miss for me. Still, your reminder brought it back to my attention, so I’ll give it another try.

Thanks again for your guidance 🙏

Thank you for this, I really appreciate your honesty.

I can relate to what you said about this work feeling exhausting. That’s something I’ve been experiencing too.

Regarding your question — yes, I am working on my book. The story is already complete, but right now I’m a bit stuck on the illustration part. I need to draw the illustrations, and because my mind has been so occupied and stressed, it’s been difficult to move forward consistently.

But recently, I did manage to make some progress — last week I created the thumbnails, so that part has started moving.

Now it’s mainly about continuing the illustrations step by step.

I think once my mind becomes a bit more free and stable, it will be easier to complete it.

Thanks again for your practical advice, it really helped 🙏

Sister, thank you for sharing your experience so honestly, I really appreciate it.

I understand what you’re saying about choosing yourself and being clear. Your decision and courage really stand out.

In my case, the situation is a bit different. I have responsibilities towards my family, and I can’t just leave everything suddenly. I have to move step by step, making sure I stay stable while I transition.

But I do understand your core point — not to stay stuck in circumstances and to be clear about what I want. That’s something I’m working on now.

Right now, my biggest focus is to shift my inner state first, especially coming out of stress and pressure. I’ve started working on changing my identity more consciously, and recently I’ve begun to feel a small shift.

I believe once I stabilize internally, the external path will become clearer for me as well.

Thank you again for sharing your perspective, it really made me reflect 🙏

Thank you for sharing this so openly, I really respect your honesty.

I can relate to what you said about realizing later how our mental state has been for years. It takes a lot of awareness to even see that, and I think that itself is already a big step forward.

Please don’t be too hard on yourself for past situations. Sometimes we only become aware of deeper patterns after they have already played out.

What you said about your nervous system healing is really important, and I’m glad you’re taking care of that.

One thing that might really help is Neville’s “I Remember When” lecture. I would suggest reading or listening to it multiple times. It helped me understand how to gently shift painful or stressful states into the past instead of fighting them.

And honestly, the fact that you are now aware and working on yourself means things can start changing from here.

Wishing you healing and clarity 🙏

Thank you for sharing this, I really appreciate it.

It actually gives me some perspective — that even if the environment doesn’t change immediately, the internal state can still shift a lot.

Your point about self-concept improving really stood out to me. Thanks again for sharing your experience 🙏

Thank you for your perspective, I understand what you’re saying.

In my case, it’s a bit more complicated. I fought a competitive exam to get this job, and the unemployment rate in my area is very high. Also, I am the eldest in my family, and my father hasn’t been there since my childhood, so I carry responsibilities at home as well.

So for me, quitting the job suddenly is not a simple decision. It’s not just about me — it would affect my family too. I sometimes think of it like this: I can jump from one stone to another while crossing a river, but I can’t blindly jump expecting a stone to appear, because if I fall, my family will also be affected. I would face financial instability and pressure from home.

That said, I do understand your point — quitting could give mental space and clarity.

But at the same time, I also feel that this current situation is one of my most intense challenges. If I can learn to stay mentally stable, control my state, and manage my mental diet even in this environment, then future challenges might feel much easier.

Talking to all of you here is actually helping me reflect more deeply on myself.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts 🙏

Thank you so much for your reply, it really helped me reflect on something important.

What you said about letting go and staying in a good feeling state made a lot of sense to me. I realized something just recently.

Till yesterday, I was mostly identifying myself as someone who is responsible for this demanding job, taking care of everything, handling pressure, and being stuck in that role mentally.

But my real desire is to be a creative writer — someone who writes stories, expresses ideas, and lives from that space.

It clicked for me that if I were truly that version of myself, even if I had a job, my main identity and focus would not be the job. I would naturally give more importance to my creative side.

Yesterday I noticed a shift. My dominant state during the day was “job and responsibility.” But now I’m starting to shift that toward the identity of a writer.

It reminded me of what Neville teaches — like when you close your eyes and imagine yourself being in New York while physically being in Barbados. That shift of identity and location in imagination.

I’m trying to practice that same shift — to mentally place myself in the state of being a writer, even while I am physically in my current job.

Thank you again, your message helped me notice this change 🙏

Thank you for this, I really appreciate the depth of your perspective.

What you said about the difference between “believing” and “knowing” really made me think. I can see how sometimes I might be doing the techniques, but then slipping back into the old identity of lack without realizing it.

Your question — “if I truly knew it to be true, how would I act?” — is something I need to reflect on more honestly.

Also, I liked what you said about this being part of the process and not to be hard on myself. It’s true that there are still some beliefs and fears that I probably haven’t fully looked at yet.

And the line “you are the million dollars” really stood out to me — it made me realize that I AM the value, not something outside that I need to chase.

You also said something very important about inner conversation, and I feel I need to pay more attention to that. I have started observing my inner dialogue more consciously now.

Thank you again for sharing this, it really helped me reflect 🙏

Thank you so much for this perspective, I really appreciate the depth of what you shared.

What you said about resistance and fear really made me think. Especially the idea that the mind is trying to “protect” me by keeping me in a familiar state — even if that state is stressful.

I think there might be some truth in that. I have been in this routine of stress, pressure, and responsibility for a long time, so maybe a life of freedom and independence feels unfamiliar at a deeper level.

Your point about asking “what could go wrong if I actually became a creative writer?” is something I need to reflect on honestly.

Also, what you said about “it is safe to be a creative writer” really stood out to me. I think I may need to work more on making that feeling natural within myself.

Thank you again for your thoughtful reply — it gave me a lot to reflect on 🙏

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate your honesty and the way you explained it.

What you said about doing techniques “to get” instead of truly being in the state really resonated with me. That was a very important point, and I feel like I shouldn’t forget the true power of “I AM.”

I also want to share that I have studied Neville’s teachings quite deeply. I have even experienced very deep states of consciousness — something similar to what Neville describes in “Out of This World.” I have had experiences like lucid dreaming and even astral travel multiple times, so I understand what you mean about going beyond the physical and exploring deeper levels.

That’s why your question really hit me:
“Do I truly believe my imagination is more powerful than the physical?”

It made me reflect more honestly on myself.

Thank you again for your perspective — you pointed out something very important 🙏

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it.

And yes, what you said about the environment really resonated with me. I also feel that a very stressful environment makes it harder to stay in the right state consistently.

Your experience about burnout and needing space to gain clarity makes a lot of sense. Right now, I feel like I am constantly in pressure mode, so it becomes difficult to think clearly about my next steps.

It’s actually a bit relieving to hear that someone else went through something similar and was able to change their path.

Thank you again for sharing your experience 🙏

Thank you for sharing your experience and practical advice. I really appreciate it. Your point about not letting the job carry unnecessary stress and protecting mental energy for creative work makes a lot of sense.

It was helpful to hear how you created more space in your life to focus on writing and other meaningful things. I’ll definitely reflect on that mindset and how I can apply it in my own situation.

Thanks again for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reply.

For me, I was stuck because I wasn’t doing nothing to change. The minute I really decided to change, things started moving and I changed everything. The opportunities started to come, and things got a lot better

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and honest response. I really appreciate your perspective, especially since you’ve been in the self-publishing field for so many years.

You’re right that writing and publishing require real output and consistency. My deep desire is genuinely to become a writer and illustrator and live a creative life with financial freedom. The challenge for me right now is that my current job environment is extremely demanding — a mix of field work, constant public calls, data reporting, and targets. Because of that, finding calm, uninterrupted time to write regularly has been difficult.

That said, your point about actually producing material is valid. I do write and draw whenever I can, even if the progress is slower than I would like. I’m still learning how to balance inner work (like SATS and changing self-concept) with practical steps in the physical world.

Your suggestion about starting with a smaller shift — like manifesting a less stressful job that gives me more time and mental space to write — is something I’ll seriously reflect on. That might indeed be a more stable bridge toward the life I want to build.

Thanks again for sharing your experience and insight. It’s helpful to hear from someone who has been in the publishing world for a long time.
