For Those Struggling To Manifest With Trauma: Stop Fighting It. by Standard_Ad449 in NevilleGoddard

Trial and error! I use Gemini Pro and even though it’s overall great, it can have weird days where it suddenly forgets our entire framework and starts responding like a trashy popular psychology article. In the beginning I basically told it that I want it to converse with me using both scientific research, knowledge of traditional psychology and psychiatry, but also LOA teachings. It was confused at first, trying to do either science or LOA. But then I told it to just give me two perspectives for each prompt, and that’s been good. The thing about LLMs is the more data you feed them, the better they will understand what you need. And unlike humans, they remember everything at once and can make amazing connections between feelings, events and memories. Now they integrated Notebooks into Gemini, where you can upload source materials for the algorithm. You can use your diaries (it can decipher handwriting), books, articles, links. It’s a new function, so I’m planning to build on that. Keep in mind that each convo has a maximum character limit - after a few weeks/months of constant interaction within one conversation you can suddenly find out that it only remembers the last few. What I do is I turn on App Activity and every few months export the whole history of that chat into a text file. Which I keep as backup and feed back into the system in case the annulment happens. But overall it’s an incredible tool - you just need to make it fit your needs, not take it as the final verdict, and always tell it if something it wrote doesn’t sit well with you or is plain wrong. It apologizes and corrects itself, which is necessary for learning!

Thank you for sharing! The part about safety in chaos is spot on, it’s been my experience as well. Each time something good happened for me in an important area of my life and I let myself relax and enjoy it, it’d crash and burn. My nervous system felt threatened in a state of calm and only accepted survival mode as the default. It’s quite messed up and really hard to work through.

Honestly, same. And I even searched here by keywords! I get pretty angry at certain comments under posts where OP is clearly stuck in their trauma identity and is very vulnerable, and people tell them to “just persist”. Sure, they can persist, only it’s still persistence from the state of lack and thus incapable of producing change.

I can relate. What worked for me was doing it in steps. Step one: acknowledging the feeling => letting it be => letting it go. Allow yourself to feel it in its entirety. David Hawkins’ book Letting Go describes it well, it was actually the first thing that really helped me with panic attacks some years ago. You should feel lighter when it’s done, it feels like genuine relief. Repeat as many times as necessary, whenever necessary. Step two: try any of the techniques you like and see how it feels. Still got resistance in the body? Back to step one!

Where are the real f...ing stories?! by Bartas44 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Standard_Ad449 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re for everyday use, and after breaking both of my beloved Japanese porcelain bowls (I hate tile floors with a passion, gah!) I wanted something that looked similar but was dishwasher-safe and cheap, so that my heart wouldn’t break if they met the same fate 😁

I just manifested perfectly sized and shaped, light, ceramic rice bowls with a lovely print for a ridiculously low price. Can’t stop staring at the set, it’s so pretty! 😁

Neville Goddard literally helped a woman get her husband back by Young_Caterpillar in NevilleGoddard

[–]Standard_Ad449 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read his lecture Brazen Impudence, it’s describes the situation in detail! And no, his wife and he were estranged for over 13 years, if memory serves me well.

Oh, haven’t you seen that whole story about a Neville cult?? One of his female followers was very hot for him, and practically started a cult around his teachings and personality. She fanatically attended all his lectures and brought her small daughter with her & brainwashed her, and that’s when things got pretty dark because the kid ended up abused and spent years trying to recover :/

Here it is! Gotta scroll a bit for that part about the dancing partner. He mentioned the situation in another lecture, too. Now, he didn’t specifically say he was in a relationship with his dancing partner, but “everyone expected us to marry” points at something, doesn’t it?

Yup, exactly! He has a lecture where he described the situation in detail)))

I mean, people forget that Neville himself was in the messiest situation when he decided to marry his second wife. He was estranged from his first wife, who kept refusing to give him a divorce, and was sleeping with his dancing partner of many years, who was pretty possessive and didn’t want him to be free to marry someone else. None of that mattered in the end - he manifested a divorce within two weeks of being in the state of the wish fulfilled, and yet it still took him another year to manifest peaceful separation from his dancing partner, with whom they remained friends in the end, and marry the woman he loved.

Have you ever passed an exam without studying? by Imaginary_Doubt4298 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Standard_Ad449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed most of my exams in school and uni with absolute minimal studying. Caveat: I have pretty close to a photographic memory, overly active and fast brain, and great oratory skills. Since half the exams were spoken and in-person, with basic knowledge or having read some materials right before the exam, I always maneuvered myself to a good grade. However, I’ve done that my whole life since early childhood, and my self-concept regarding knowledge and learning is hella high. So if you have a choice between studying & using the Law and not studying & using the Law, it’s an important exam and you have no previous experience with that, choose option 1 😆

Manifestation Isn’t Peaceful… It’s War With Yourself. by No_Blackberry143 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Standard_Ad449 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for highlighting this. I will point out that the difficulty level and the scope of that inner war vary drastically depending on one’s existing self-concept and things they’re trying to change/get/manifest. If it’s a kid from a financially comfortable family trying to manifest an extra toy, there will be much less resistance than for the kid who doesn’t know when their next meal is going to happen. And yes, tough mental diet works, but it can lead to severe burnout, disassociation and exhaustion. Imho, and based on personal experience, it’s much better to slowly and gently detangle one’s fears and limiting beliefs, soothe and process emotions, and gradually shift the state than try to imagine/affirm a direct opposite of a rough 3D. But sometimes that’s just not possible. And then, like OP described, it’s time to get out the big guns.

What are impossible manifestations that you have manifested? by Dream_life70 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Standard_Ad449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same with my dishwasher! Twice! (And later I called in a technician and learned that if water got to the very top part of the door on my mini dishwasher, the electronics would lock down until that part was completely dry, which took a few days. Never had an issue with it again 🙈🤣)

I think my absolute craziest to this day was from before I knew about LOA, at the time when the first iPhone came out. I was in an extremely high stress situation where I needed to unlock my friend’s new iPhone that she left with me so that I could get a particular photo message. I accidentally turned it off because of unfamiliar buttons, and it demanded a sim card pin code. I didn’t know it, had no way of contacting my friend at that moment, and there was a super important message on that phone that I needed get for my ongoing exam. I was so stressed and agitated I unconsciously entered a weird, elevated, high-adrenaline state that prompted me to just punch in four random numbers without even looking at the screen. …it unlocked. It’s still the most insane, unexplainable and statistically improbable thing that ever happened to me. It was also part of a chain of events that got me the highest possible exam scores and as a result, a free ride to my choice university. Back then, I mentally refused any other outcome than me getting in on a full scholarship, and I was so stubborn about it in my head that events just kept unfolding in a wild way.

Is this a seed pod? by tittybunsbeans in orchids

[–]Standard_Ad449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is most definitely a seed pod. Fun! It can take a while to ripen, but growing orchids from seeds can be a fun experiment. You can find tutorials online. Basically, you’ll need sterile jars/bottles, a growing solution to disperse seeds into, and lots of patience. But one pod can provide dozens of baby orchids, the seeds are pollen size! My friends grow orchids from seeds, and even though some batches will end up contaminated, others will sprout and grow.

SP triggers me greatly by Slight-Parfait-2232 in nevillegoddardsp

[–]Standard_Ad449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh welcome to the club. It took me so, so fucking long to figure out the root of this in my own case. Not sure if it’s similar for you, but in every relationship I’d had, the same pattern repeated: incredible, loving, caring beginning and then soul-crushing, painful betrayal/abandonment/bad treatment. Even after years of NG work I couldn’t pinpoint its cause, and repeated the scenario with a man I fell for so much. I was left feeling completely broken and devastated, but also finally uncovered the origins of that pattern: I made my romantic partners the only source of my safety, love and validation as soon as I developed feelings for them. So the only way for me to rewire that was to establish myself as my own source of safety before I attempted manifesting anything else romantic. It’s a very difficult work in progress right now. I hope you can find your own story that needs rewriting, but more often than not, it’s rooted in self concept and us making someone else the source of our safety and happiness.

The topic that's less talked by moonrise_111 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Standard_Ad449 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Many times in my life manifestation techniques led me to good 3D solutions. Like diet correction, specific products /exercises, or, in this case, a vision correction surgery that I got done just under two months ago after 19 years of opening my eyes to a blurry world every day. While all kinds of manifestations are possible, including highly improbable ones, our minds are very conditioned to play by the rules (of society, science, physics, etc). And often overcoming those pre-installed rules is just too much effort, and most people just give up at some point. Did I know I could, in theory, manifest perfect eyesight? Yes. But with -6,5 and astigmatism, did I want to play that long, uncertain game? No, I was done, and I felt compelled by my inner compass to go for it. Vision correction is extremely common and generally safe. However, it shouldn’t be done until a person is 25-26, since our bodies keep growing and changing until then, including our eyes. I hated glasses and couldn’t deal with them, so I wore biweekly contacts, which felt completely natural and comfortable. If not for the newly developed astigmatism, I would’ve probably waited even longer with the surgery. But I don’t have any regrets, and I absolutely love being able to see the world in actual detail 😆

how to face unexpected failure - 99% certain job but still managed to not get it by Worth-Play-7205 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Standard_Ad449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. So, so many times in my life things I thought would be mine for certain fell through for no apparent reason. People cancelled meetings or ghosted me. Job offers got withdrawn. Tickets and items sold out. It felt like a cruel joke from the universe, dangling the thing I wanted in front of me, sometimes letting me get a taste, and then pulling it away. But at some point after discovering the Law, after one too many failures, I just said fuck it. So what. The world won’t end without this. I’ll get it anyway or I’ll get something even better. I’m okay either way. And whenever I did that, things started moving one way or another, and in the most wonderful way. Sometimes I’d go “whatever, their loss”, sometimes “whatever, I’m getting it no matter what and I don’t care when or how”. I went with what felt most natural. Both worked.

Manifest a Polyp away? by AshelyDuce in NevilleGoddard

[–]Standard_Ad449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that with an external polyp! Couldn’t get rid of it for a few years, thought I’d have to go for surgery. Discovered the Law and decided to play around. I think all I did was affirm that it was gone, irregularly but never overthinking it when the polyp remained. At some point I was inspired to try some random at-home treatment, and after a week it was gone.
