Help me help people :) I want this post to be a place of gathering perspective and wisdom, where people who feel stuck can maybe get some sense of direction too.

You only have 1 minute- now that you know everything you know- what would you tell the version of yourself from a time when they just started off manifesting? What would you use that 1 minute for?

Want to know something even better? Everyone's mastered it already. Now we just need to know how to get in everytime. I'm talking about:

The state of knowing

1. Knowing, what an interesting concept. It's not emotional- feelings flutuate, knowing does not. It's not really a thought either, when you "think", you usually have back and forths in your brain. Oh, and is not belief either. Belief is a stance. Knowing is a state. Beliefs have doubts. Knowing does not.

2. Call it intuition. Call it an insight, call it factual. But the fact is knowing is a phenomenon that is usually non-verbal, non-emotional, non-anaytical certainty.

Some more info

1. When something is uncertain, you try to feel/think certain. Knowing does non of that. Knowing is a posture. A silent one.

2. knowing is still. Its settled. certainty is emotion based. Knowing is structure based.

3. I believe this sense of stillness is one of the states Neville describes- a shifting awareness towards a state of knowing you have your desire already.

Ok now shut up, teach me how to do it.

0. To start, you know the sky is blue. It requires no participation from thoughts or emotions. At all.

0.5) please note the method described below is not the traditional Neville way to enter. Neville usually enters through vibrancy in visualisation.

1. Don't fuel the arguement

• Knowing begins when negotiations end. You don't force silence on your doubts. Knowing is not reached by counter-thinking harder. It appears when the opposing debate loses energy, then you know you've won.

• the next time you experience doubt, you can acknowledge it as the old version/let it pass/ even ignore it- which is the Neville way. But don't treat it as an opponent. It is simply the older identity grasping on crumbs. Don't actively oppose it like an enemy.

2. somatic stillness

• drop the body, breathe slowly, feel the weight settle. Stop bracing. Hear the silence through your ears.

• this silence and neutrality? The doorstep to knowing.

• Don't chase it. Feel it land as you exhale. Feel the weight and vibrations. Or feel it take form in stillness.

3. Neutrality is key

• Let it be natural. Relax the tension. Don't colour it with forced happiness. Don't pressure it. Simply be. Knowing is a silent conviction. Make the decision now. No words. No emotions. Convict.

4. Most important part. Here's a challenge. Use the above information to decide without words/thoughts/feelings/affirmations. Try and communicate that intent. No thinking, no speaking. Just know. And if words cone out? Great! Now youre speaking from the state, not speaking to reach the state!

Triple check:

1. In this state, you either don't experience doubt or doubt means nothing anymore. It has no value.

2. This isn't a 24/7 state personally. Its more an anchor state. Neville says to return to "the state" gently when in doubt or in general, I believe this is one of the states possible.

3. Eventually, this knowing state becomes a baseline. Dominant. A quiet conviction beneath the emotions.

4. Identity switch is immediate, stabilising is gradual. Don't be afraid to fall back. A step back is a step forward.

Decide. The thoughts don't matter. Shift your awareness to knowing. Knowing needs no proof. You don't need an affirmation to "seal the deal". You don't need to experience joy to "confirm you're in it". Just decide. Now.
