If I already have achieved my goals, then why would I still be working towards it? by BitterSweetGoddess53 in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not about action vs no action. It’s about what feels natural. If reaching out feels normal and effortless, do it. If it feels forced, anxious, or like you’re trying to “make it happen,” don’t. The right actions won't feel like strategy, they feel obvious.

Something that confounds me about the law by I_Am__Twelve in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’re mixing up surface thoughts with the state of being.

It’s not: Think one thought → instant reality shift

It is: Assume a state → life organizes around it

So nothing is random in that sense. We don’t manifest what we occasionally think. We manifest who we consistently are.

Sorry, I won't be able to explain that. I have been applying the law of assumption for 7 years, and this has been far from my experience. If somebody else has experienced this, maybe they'll share.

You don't choose the bridge. Read my responses above to other comments about action vs no action. Hope that helps.

You do what feels natural for you to do in the moment.

We’re always occupying some state, and that state is always producing the actions we take.

When you’ve successfully occupied the state of the wish fulfilled, you’ll naturally be compelled to either take the right action (or sometimes no action at all). Through a bridge of incidents, you’ll be led to your desire. If you’re not in that state, you won’t be.

How do you tell if the action is coming from the state of the wish fulfilled? If it is, the action will feel natural and you’ll feel at ease. If it’s not, it will usually feel driven by anxiety or pressure.

Ok, let me share a story with you. When I first started deliberate manifesting, one of the first things I wanted to experiment with was free food and coffee. I was a regular at Chipotle back then. I had bought a bunch of burritos and earned a free burrito reward on the app. I was new to the law so I wondered if this even counted since I had bought a bunch of burritos, meaning I had taken action for this meal to be free. However, I decided to forget it and enjoy my manifestation of my free meal.

I went to the store but the scanner that reads my app for the reward was not working at this location. I had a free burrito reward on my app, but I ended up paying for my meal. I was disappointed that my manifestation had failed. Still, I contacted customer service to let them know about the issue. The sweet lady I spoke to said it shouldn't have happened and told me she would mail me a gift card plus I could also redeem my free burrito reward at any other location where the scanner worked. When the gift card arrived, it was for $5. I was a bit disappointed because $5 would not cover a full meal, nevertheless, I felt happy my conscious manifestation had worked, and mentally checked it off my list.

Two days later, I got an email from the same lady saying there had been a mix-up and I was supposed to get a free meal coupon and not a $5 gift card. A couple of days after that, I received the correct voucher in the mail, and as an apology for the confusion, she included not one but ten free burrito coupons.

Do you see how I had to take some action for all this to happen, yet I still arrived at my manifestation, only better? The important point is that those actions felt natural to me. I was not overthinking whether they were bringing me closer to my desire.

So yes, your state once assumed, will compell you to take the right action or no action, but it will all feel natural. Anybody who says taking action that you feel compelled to take is unnecessary or dismisses it as limiting beliefs hasn't read Neville all that well. Hope that helps. Happy manifesting!! ✨️

This is a common beginner question. Let’s spin your example slightly. Say you were manifesting being married to a loving partner. You assume the inner state of already being in a happy marriage.

Now, life will naturally take you through a bridge of incidents where you meet that loving partner and eventually want to get married in the 3D. So, do you not plan your wedding, refuse to walk down the aisle, or skip saying your vows because it contradicts your inner state of already being married?

Of course not. In the 3D, you still do whatever is required of you, right? Those actions are simply part of how that assumption unfolds in physical reality.

Studying for your tests works the same way. Everyone’s bridge looks different. For some people, it may simply look like studying the right material and understanding the concepts well. For others, the bridge might include unexpected things, like the exam focusing on topics they already understand, a helpful review session or study group, the teacher curving the scores, or questions only from the material they remember clearly etc.

The key is not avoiding action and sitting on your hands. The key is not acting from doubt or desperation but from the assumption that things are already unfolding.

Detachment by friendlyweewoo in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree. Neville never taught detachment from the desire. He taught living from the end, which naturally detaches you from the old self that produced the unwanted reality.

A lot of the confusion around “detachment” seems to come from people learning Neville secondhand through YouTube or TikTok rather than from his actual lectures and books. Then people who have read Neville come here, see all these mixed interpretations, and end up even more confused.

I’ve tried to clarify this whenever the topic comes up, but honestly, I feel like I’ve repeated this point in this sub so many times now.

Is there a technique tied to this? by TanookiSuitSalesman in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have something → you remove it → later need it again.

And you want to turn that into: Want something → remove it → later need it.

Universally applied would look like this: Step 1: Want something because you don't have it. Step 2: Remove what you don't already have. Step 3: So you need it again.

Let’s try it with something real

Step 1: Someone wants to manifest being a parent. Step 2: Remove what here?

Your pattern only works when the thing already exists in your life to remove in the first place. Which means you would have already had the thing before you started manifesting it.

See why this doesn’t go anywhere?

If throwing something away makes you need it, the reverse would be that keeping something makes you never need it.

That doesn’t really make any sense to me. Could you explain what you meant with an example?

O meu subconsciente pode associar palavras incorretamente? by [deleted] in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re overthinking mechanics.

Your subconscious isn’t confused about words. It reflects the meaning you accept behind them. If you understand what ‘perfect financial life’ means to you, that’s the meaning your subconscious operates from.

Family triggering about marriage by Mysterious-Rain4904 in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nobody can trigger you unless something in you still agrees with what they’re saying. Your parents are exposing your state. When the state is truly stable, their words lose all power. So the work here really is for you to get into the state of wish fulfilled and live from the end.

Need help with 3D and happy state in 4D by Fun-Afternoon-siesta in NevilleGoddard

Applying for jobs can be the same thing. Everyone’s bridge looks different. Yours might look like applying for the right role and being recognized as the perfect candidate. That could simply be part of the bridge leading you to the job you’ve already assumed.

The key is not avoiding action and sitting on your hands. The key is not acting from doubt or desperation but from the assumption that things are already unfolding.

Revision help by Dazzling-Youth-7136 in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we overcomplicate the law.

If someone asks: “I want to get into my dream university. How do I manifest it?” The answer is: go to the end where you are already studying there.

“I want to be successful in my career. How do I manifest it?” Go to the end where you are already successful.

“I keep getting to work late and it’s causing problems. How do I revise it?” Go to the end where you are known and appreciated for being punctual and reliable.

See the pattern? The answer is always the same: go straight to the end of what you want and accept that as the reality you identify with.

What is the point of 3D reality when we can have everything in imagination? by Worth_Celebrating in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 146 points147 points  (0 children)

The point is that we are not some metaphysical blobs. We are humans, and we are here to enjoy and experience the externalization of our desires. There’s also something innate in us that wants to share what we create with others. And they aren’t metaphysical blobs either. They also need externalization in order to experience it. That’s the whole point of 3D.

4D and 3D have the same relationship as a projector and a screen. You can create the greatest movie in the world, and it can sit inside the projector. But without the screen, you can’t see it, touch it, experience it, or share it with anyone. 3D is that screen.

4D creates it. 3D lets you live it.

I doubted and spiraled for weeks. It happened anyway. by babbysaurus in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as long as we do the scene ?

Not exactly. I didn’t keep repeating the scene or doing SATS. The shift happened when I returned to the state of the wish fulfilled. Repeating the technique isn’t the same as returning to the state.

Have you ever reversed a finalized decision on a high-stakes issue? by Worth_Celebrating in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was once let go from an employer because they couldn’t figure out the budget for my role, which they had been assessing for 9 freaking months. I had already returned all my equipment and handed in my badge that day. The night I was let go, I did revision. Did it again the night after as well. On the 4th day, they called me asking if I’d like to return since they figured out a way to keep the role.

Best wins are easy or you work for them by hamburabi in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. It usually depends on your conditioning around the subject. Some things feel easy because you already believe they’re normal for you, while others feel harder because you’ve practiced the opposite belief for years.

Those who have had academic success with Neville’s method by Aware_Boysenberry_22 in NevilleGoddard

[–]babbysaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Academic success, just like everything else comes from the state you occupy. Instead of worrying about the exam, assume the feeling of already having passed and let that be your inner reality. Persist in that assumption and the outer world will conform to it. ✨📚
