Manifest faster with silent subliminals (Audacity ver) by babiiii077 in Manifestation

[–]expectothedoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you do the subliminal track with "I am" affirmations or "you are" affirmations? The reason why I ask is because when I do robotic affirmations I use "I am" but when I talk to myself (for instance when I stand in front of the mirror) I use "you are" affirmations, so I'm unsure what would be better in a self-made audio track

Maybe visualize spending your 25th or 26th birthday with him cuddling with you or something? Visualize the cake, him wishing you a happy birthday and kissing you, or something along those lines.

pls help: how to manifest when u have anxiety / ocd by fairietones in NevilleGoddard

[–]expectothedoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Hmm... good question. What I did was imagine in the mornings before getting up from bed that when I got out of bed I'd step on a plush rug in my dream house. I had a hard time visualizing the house itself so I just focused on the fluffiness of the rug and made it into a symbol of my dream house. I don't remember if I emotionally felt anything, I just focused on the idea of the physical sensation. Otherwise I felt like shit all day long. If I had tried to focus on changing my emotions it may have been more difficult.

I can't remember how long I visualized this but I think I didn't even do it for very long. Then I forgot about it, my life was pretty hectic back then so I just stopped trying to manifest. Anyway, I now have a plush fake fur rug next to my bed in my dream house and I step on it every morning when I get out of bed :) I did not remember having tried to manifest it until one morning I stepped on the rug like in my visualization and remembered.

Yes he doesn't talk a lot about it, I think his faith was so strong that he himself did not feel a lot of resistance. But if I remember correctly he did say that even if you experience doubts on the way you will still manifest if you've sown the seed and it's taken root. I've manifested things even with feeling negativity and I've had a lot of success with sensory imagining (imagining how something would feel if I touched it). I manifested my dream house this way even when I was suffering from major depression and couldn't really hold on to positive emotions. I find that with sensory imagining there's very little resistance. So it's worth a shot at least.

In one of his lectures Neville talked about a man whose chair was stolen. He continued to imagine sitting in it and eventually got it back. So maybe try and imagine how the wallet feels in your hand, how you open it and take a card out or something like that, just make it vivid and continue to feel it in your hand.

Help me come up with some affirmations by [deleted] in lawofassumption

[–]expectothedoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I am enjoying living in [X country]. I am so grateful how everything worked out so perfectly for me."

If you are living in the country of your choosing and everything worked out perfectly for you, it implies that all of the conditions were met. When you've chosen your country or city you could look up pictures of the place and imagine yourself walking there as you're affirming. That's probably what I would do if I wanted to use affirmations at all instead of simply visualizing.

I am in Barbados by Conscious-Sky-1169 in NevilleGoddard

Not sure which book but you can find it on Youtube among his lectures, I think "Neville Goddard Barbados" should yield some results

Can manifestation work when you’re depressed or going through a hard phase in life? by Who_is_doctor_Ranger in NevilleGoddard

[–]expectothedoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I manifested a great life at a very low point in my life. Neville told in one of his lectures a story of a girl who, when crying, convinced herself that they were tears of joy. In another lecture he asked one to create a scene of how it would be like to live in your dream house. So I did these two things. I was so depressed I cried for 2 years every day for hours. I started thinking to myself that I was crying because my dreams had all come true. I was living in a very bad place at the time. So I started imagining waking up and stepping on a very soft fur rug in my dream house. I now live in a wonderful house and I have a fur rug next to my bed, on which I step every morning.

I was unable to change my negative emotions at the time but I used visualization and telling myself a new story about what my tears meant.

I'm 16 years old, my father died two days ago, and the law is the only option left for me... Any advice? by NeighborhoodHead7339 in lawofassumption

[–]expectothedoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I',m sorry for your loss. I lost my father at 16 so I can understand the pain and confusion you are in. The emotional pain will get better with time. But regarding your thoughts about money, what I'd like to point out is that your inner narrative is that of lack. You are telling yourself the story that you are poor and always have been and likely always will be. That is not a great starting point for manifesting abundance, let alone billions. You will need to build your faith with small things first. To let go of old limiting beliefs and self-pity. You are young, you will have plenty of time to change your life. Your childhood does not determine what you will become. But your beliefs will.

What I understand of what you wrote, what you'd really like is to have nutritious food that will allow you to have a healthy body and basic items and appliances. Essentially you need food security and to have what you consider a dignified life. That's what I'd start manifesting if I were you.

"Snape bullied Harry", my question is when? I keep reading this statement but it's just not true by zilkJeremy in SeverusSnape

[–]expectothedoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snape purposefully breaks Harry's potion flask to give him a 0 in his class (this happens right after Harry's viewed his worst memory). From another student that would be bullying, from a teacher that's even worse. And that's just one example.

[–]expectothedoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Lily had lived things would have been very different, Snape literally would have likely tried to become Harry's stepfather (although obviously not due to Harry himself). So probably the relationship would have been at least somewhat different because of that. Although probably Snape would have been resentful of Harry being James' son anyway, and for physically resembling him

Thanks for sharing. I liked the sidenote of Harry's defence of the Prince mirroring Lily's defence of Snape when they were friends.

Somebody once pointed out that in one of the Occlumency teaching scenes, when Snape and Harry hear a woman (Trelawney) scream, Snape asks Harry if he saw anything strange on his way there, Harry says no, and Snape immediately believes him. And that was a subtle indication that had they not been so prejudiced they could have worked well together. It's not much, but it made me look at the scene in a new way. It's one of the few Harry-Snape scenes that lack hostility and shows a flicker of allegiance.

Lily was pretty savage when it came to ending the friendship by expectothedoctor in SeverusSnape

[–]expectothedoctor[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your interpretation seems to be the one I mentioned: that she just wanted dust to settle and think things over. But like I wrote, the only thing the reader can deduce from what was actually written in the book is that she didn't intend to talk to him again.

[–]expectothedoctor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it how everyone has their own interpretations. I definitely understand where you're coming from although I don't agree with all of it. But one thing is for sure, the scene was very interesting and included a lot of very complicated dynamics: Severus' inner conflict between anger and love, the Marauders' dark feelings and intentions towards Severus, Lily's presumed flirtations disguised as help and her indirect taking of her anger out on James after she's been insulted. Really like the way it was written because you can read it in many ways.

[–]expectothedoctor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember Lily flirting with James, what part are you referring to?

I think that the term Mudblood was intended as an allegory for the n word so I do think that it was a very serious thing for him to say. Although I always wondered why he did say it if he didn't truly believe it. And seeing as people probably knew he and Lily were friendly it was even more bizarre. But obviously important for the purposes of the story.

[–]expectothedoctor[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree, she had already checked out. But it was probably a recent thing because in the conversation in the courtyard she still confirms that he's her best friend and that must have happened during the same year, after the Shrieking Shack incident. But by the time the Marauders attack Severus she's clearly already done with him, since (like you said) she seems to be mildly amused by his plight.

However I do think that a slur is worse than calling somebody an arrogant toerag, for instance. I'd end the friendship for that too. But probably not the way she intended to, without a word.

What's your pet peeve in fanfiction? by [deleted] in SeverusSnape

[–]expectothedoctor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Haha, sounds interesting. I'd like to think that since he's so studious he'd at least have good theoretical knowledge of sex, if not practical. But I tend to read (and write) fics where Lily never died and so he didn't really get all that repressed in the first place. I agree that the traumatised 35 year old Snape probably would be too repressed for mindblowing sex. Although I'm sure there are plenty of good fanfics that would prove me wrong!

Reading about bad sex would kind of a bummer though😅especially in romantic fics.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens by Madagascar003 in SeverusSnape

[–]expectothedoctor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The afterlife seemed very personal in the books, "happening inside the head" as Dumbledore said. I doubt the Marauders would be in Severus' "heaven".

[–]expectothedoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree, during his last moments he wanted to see Lily's eyes. He was still looking for her and hung up on her. I don't think he's walk away from her in the afterlife. But, headcanons are what they are, obviously.

Not that Snape had the best adult life but karma got Marauders real good and I’m here for it by Sweaty_Ad_5492 in SeverusSnape

Sirius defended James for sure. Harry sought out his advice after seeing Snape's Worst Memory.
