Hi, i’ll get straight to it.

if manifestation is all about belief why aren’t schizophrenics masters at manifestation?

they genuinely whole heartedly and unshakenly hold beliefs of themselves being famous or rich or etc…. but they literally aren’t.

I’m confused why this is

This law comes down to a decision you commit to. It’s not a feeling or breakthrough or a moment of divine clarity. It is a CHOICE to believe in your end.

There’s a pervasive assumption that belief will arrive from somewhere else. That one more success story or post or ‘click’ will make you believe. Or, completely contrary to the law, that movement in the 3D will confirm it for you and then you’ll know and then you’ll be able to commit. That’s backwards.

The law is extremely simple. If you’ve read Neville and some of the posts around here, you realise it comes down to the same things: choose your end; don’t entertain beliefs against it; assume it’s done; and stop giving authority to what contradicts it. Everything else, from scrolling to searching to over-consuming content or even over-doing techniques, is very often just a way of postponing actually deciding it’s done.

I used to think belief would feel like something. I thought it would land on me fully formed, like a calm certainty that was almost spiritually divine. Instead, I’ve found that belief is more often than not just the absence of arguing with the chosen end. It often feels neutral or quiet and not especially profound. It’s been a conscious choice for me most of the time. I decide what to accept or reject, and not because of evidence I see or don’t see.

Once you make that choice, the space between the decision and the materialisation becomes irrelevant. You stop: checking that it’s working; assigning meaning to delays, silence, or movement; or needing reinforcement. When doubts come up, you DECIDE not to engage with them… because you’ve already decided.
Persisting is just sticking to your decision.
Mental diet is just about refusing to follow fear or create narratives around it.
Techniques can help you shift state or belief, but they’re not there to ‘get’ results and they’re not magic.
YOU ‘plant the seed’ as Neville said, and then you leave it alone.

Every time you give meaning to your circumstances or say “but…”, you’re refusing your decision.
Every time you wait for proof in the 3D before you fully believe, you’re outsourcing your authority.
Every time you check for results after doing techniques, you’re not in knowing but still in waiting.
If you feel exhausted or like you’re holding something up, you’re not actually deciding it’s done, and the desire is still conditional on external movement. Living from the end is effortless, because you simply stop interfering with the decision you made.

Your circumstances are not special. You can manifest anything, with any circumstance, in any situation.
The only thing that changes is whether you decide or keep postponing the decision.
The only person keeping things in suspense is you.
If you’re still waiting to feel ready to believe it, you’re still not choosing it.

Be honest, what are you waiting for?

I manifest relationships like crazy.

I’ve been friends with famous people.

I end up with all my crushes.

I’m a really shy person so it’s definitely not my social skills.

But why is it so easy to manifest relationships and other things have resistance?

Can anybody please share me Neville's audio playlist that is not ai ed ,I have found they often change his actual sayings,so I kind of hesitate.

Is this working or not? My God, sometimes I feel anguish and I tell the universe that if this man is not meant to be mine, that he should never send me a message again, and the three times I did this, he sent a message the same day or the next day, but it never went beyond that. We are in sporadic contact, and this has irritated me even more when other men flirt with me and he does nothing. I have been making affirmations, I wear my ring, and the most this man has done in 3D is view everything I post within seconds, especially when I post a photo of myself, but that’s not even 5% of what I want from him, so I ignore it, then he goes and responds to my status coldly as if it were a crumb, and I ignore it too. The only time I replied, he didn’t continue the conversation. It’s hard, I want to give up, but deep down I love this man and I don’t want to be with anyone else. I know he’s missing me because damn, why doesn’t he send a message?

I know that we can find a lot of success stories here and they would convince us to some extent that yes this is not too good to be true but idk why people don't seem to help the newbies here. I mean I get it we might seem desperate​​ and skeptical. That's the only reason we are asking for help? I posted a similar post yesterday and 4k+ people saw it and only 2 replied and addressed what I am going through. The post was for those who are more experienced in the law/conscious manifestation. If someone is doubting/being skeptical it doesn't mean they don't wanna believe.....many of them do want to believe it and just need some help figuring it out. Ik "read Neville", " Test it out"..... I tested it out.... I read some popular books of his..... But how to feel that​ I am the operant power?????

The main reason people who wanna believe and can't is the sub itself cus we see A LOT I mean A LOT of people stuck for months/years....(i don't wanna be negative but someone being stuck manifesting their person for 5-6 years?????- i mean... Ukwim?)

People get scared to go all in when they see these posts. Ever since childhood we are told we need to take actions, we need to do this and that (in 3d) to achieve something. This isn't just me posting for myself but for a lot of people.....and I hope this doesn't get ignored. You can see my last post (if you want to) to understand what I mean to ask in a better way

Hii. I’n gonna keep it brief cus I feel like, at the end of the day. Its our minds that overcomplicate it. I have manifested since 2024, constant academic success. I proved it to myself through getting into my dream university despite me being rejected and practically getting told no everywhere like from random people on the internet to my teachers and to my friends. I have written a detailed post about it already but to summarise it all I did was:

The congratulations method, i practically said fuck everyone else and believed that it was POSSIBLE. key word: POSSIBLE. I didnt believe it would happen, i believed it was possible, the whole “why not me?” I imagined friends and family congratulating me every time it popped in my head and before going to bed every night. Not for long like 10-20 secs. Doubts? Ofc. I screamed/crashed out/had full on tantrums and then went back to the state.

Okay other successes I had:

—> Getting my desired final grades (same congratulations method + got the highest score in the class despite me struggling and my class practically laughing at me)

—> Getting desired grades again at uni. All firsts despite me struggling and doing it last minute and handing it in a little late. I did this by visualisation of the grade mark a couple of times, never forced only when I remembered I have done this countless and countless of times now so it doesn’t feel like anything besides relief tbh.

what helps me manifest these desired outcomes every time is realising that it is POSSIBLE. like with school, percentages add up, teachers have to also come up with the average range, also if there is a specific mark scheme that gets u points its possible for them to add it all up and u can get ur dream grade. its really not an “out of the question“ desire. if u really think about its logical tbh.

Edit: I wouldn’t have made this post if I wasnt confident in my abilities, I have tested this multiple times

There’s this person i’m close with, who calls me sister. But we are oddly similar. I was at one point oddly convinced that if our timings, dynamics etc were different, this person actually checks my list for how i’d want a partner to be.

So this year we planned a trip and the day before the trip i just kind of visualised for a sec that he’d sleep on my shoulder while travelling. I didnt do it romantically, just that we were travelling in my car and we’d sit together and he’d just sort of get comfy and sleep on my shoulder that’s it.

But funny enough, while travelling i made him sit on the front seat but he got car sick and swapped seats with my friend and came to sit with me, and after like 10 mins he asked me if he could sleep on my shoulder. Throughout the journey and even when we were returning, his head was glued to my shoulder. I didnt make a big deal of it but his friend and my friend made a big deal about it. And they kept going about it for days.

Anyway, it’s nothing exciting for me but i just wanted to share it here. It was a very random thing i visualised, something he wouldnt do normally but he did.

hi everyone, i just wanted to ask for any thoughts on dealing with panic attacks while trying manifesting. i struggle with pretty bad panic attacks, which really knock my confidence. it doesn’t really impact how i feel about my manifestations as i’m usually pretty solid with them, but it makes me feel like a smaller version of myself for a while. it’s also just frustrating dealing with them when i am usually pretty confident and rational, the panic attacks are usually physical symptoms which is why i struggle to manage them. what’s the best way of acknowledging how i feel at the time while maintaining the state? i don’t want to try and push it down as that will just make it worse. does anyone else deal with this kind of thing? thank you :)

In 2021, my son was a perfectly healthy two-year-old. Then one day, out of nowhere, he had his first seizure. A month later, a second one. He was diagnosed with focal epilepsy.

I don't have words for what that period felt like. Watching your child's body do something you can't stop, can’t explain, can't fix, it hollows you out in a way nothing else does. I was desperate for something to hold onto.

That's when I found Neville Goddard. And Florence Scovel Shinn. I came to both of them not from curiosity or spiritual seeking, I came from despair. And something in what they said landed. The idea that consciousness shapes reality. That imagination is the creative power. That the end, felt as real, becomes the bridge.

I believed it. I still do, somewhere underneath everything.

But I haven't been consistent. Life, fear, the ongoing nature of this diagnosis, it's all made the practice feel slippery. And I've also been in a longer process of examining what I believe and why, unlearning some things, re-rooting in others. That's changed how I hold all of this.

Now I want to come back. I want to do the work again. But I'm running into something I can'te quite move through:

My son's healing doesn't feel like a desire. It feels like the desire everything else depends on. Like I can’te to fully step into any vision of peace, abundance, or ease until he's okay. I know, intellectually, that this entanglement might be its own block. But knowing that doesn't dissolve it.

And when I try to visualize, to feel into the end state of him healed, thriving, free, the contrast between that and what I'm living is so loud that my nervouse system kind of... rejects it. It doesn't feel like faith. It feels like pretending.

For those of you who've done this work through something this close to home, how did you actually get there? How do you hold the imagined reality without it feeling like a betrayal of what you're living? What does your scene look like when you're healing someone you love?

I believe. I'm just lost right now. And I'd really love to hear from people who've been here.

Thanks for reading, and thank you in advance for any responses. It means more than you know.

Hi everyone, I feel like my mind is all over the place right now.

I’ve been trying to follow Neville Goddard/manifestation teachings, but I think I might be taking it too far and it’s starting to overwhelm me instead of help.

For context, one of my parents died from a horrible neurological illness a few years ago, and now one of their siblings has it. Since finding that out, I’ve been spiralling a bit worrying as it could be genetic and affect me too. At the same time, I’ve been trying to “manifest” that it’s not genetic and that me and my family are perfectly healthy.

On top of that, I’ve also been trying to manifest my ex back, and even imagining a reality where my parent never died. I’ve also been focusing on things like improving my appearance and “perfect” outcomes in general.

It just feels like too many things at once, and instead of feeling in control, I feel anxious and kind of mentally exhausted right now. Like if I don’t think the “right” thoughts, something bad will happen or I’ll mess everything up.

I guess I’m asking how do you apply these teachings without becoming overwhelmed or obsessive and how do you deal with grief and real-life fears (like health/genetics) while also trying to live in the end?

I was randomly thinking about my farewell pictures,school farewell pics which occurred in 2017 and I was thinking that I looked so pretty in those pictures.i posted them on my old Facebook account which I deleted years ago.i thought I wish I could see those pictures again which was almost impossible since I have changed my mobile phone and I was thinking about that particular picture.yesterday my sister was just scrolling her phone,which is her new phone like she got it last year only and there was this one video I had no idea about,and boom that short video has that exact picture I was thinking about.and it happened so naturally I didn't even realise I manifested it.and that video wasn't even made by me,my cousin who hasn't visited me in years made it years back and it was somehow on my sister's Google drive.Crazy

Hey guys, I just wanted to share this experience with you. It might be a bit long, but maybe it will help someone.

In November 2025, I lost my dream job opportunity because fear and low self-confidence took over. I genuinely believed I wasn’t capable, that I couldn’t handle it. So I gave up and moved back from abroad to my hometown… where honestly, there aren’t many opportunities.

I found a job, but I didn’t enjoy it at all. It was physically demanding and poorly paid. Still, deep down I knew this wasn’t where I belonged. Even while working there, I kept trying to get into my dream job. I went to a few interviews, but nothing worked out.

At some point, I decided to fully commit to changing my mindset. I deleted Instagram, stopped distracting myself, and every single day I listened to manifestation videos and podcasts. I distanced myself from people and really went inward. I focused on reprogramming my mind.

I started visualizing constantly. Even at my current job, I acted as if I was already living my dream life as a cabin crew member. I spoke to customers with confidence, imagining I was already in uniform. I kept telling my coworkers that I’d only be there for a few months and that I’d be leaving at the end of April for my new job.

Honestly, I sounded delusional. But I didn’t care.

In March, I went to another airline interview. I was waiting for the result, and yes—I had doubts. But I didn’t stop visualizing. I ordered things I’d need for cabin crew training. I didn’t plan any vacations because I just knew I wouldn’t be staying in that job.

And yesterday… I received the offer for my dream job.

After months of feeling lost and low, I stayed consistent with my vision. Deep down, I just knew it would happen. Like Neville Goddard says, I “lived in the end.”

I just want to say—manifestation really does work, even when you have doubts sometimes. You just have to persist. Keep visualizing. Feel it. Use emotion. Cry from happiness as if you already have it. Whole process took about 4 months.

It’s like a pendulum—after the fall comes the rise.

Don’t give up 🤍

So, i've been using my old iphone since 2022 and it started heating up, the battery life was very bad, and i really needed a new iphone!
so i just asked for it, and then imagined holding it in my hand, seeing my new iphone, seeing how the photos and videos i shot came out crystal clear like they do on a new phone..
and then i actually just felt like ' yeah i already have the new iphone'.

i know a lot of people here say 'let go', but i know it can be difficult, but let me tell you guys a tip that worked very well for me. Think of it as living in 2 realities.
the 'real' reality is where you have everything you want. and the 'fun' relaity is the 3d world.. so i knew i have the new iphone in my 'real reality', and in my 'fun reality' i was being grateful for my phone which captured so many memories, which served me for 4 long years..

and you won't believe it..2 days later, on the eve of my birthday, my family member randomly asked to take me on a drive, and then took me to the apple store and gifted me an iphone 17 pro!!! 😊
And, more than being excited about the new iphone, i was so excited because i re-lived this before, and it felt sooo fun to see it in the 3d!

Just thought it'll share it here, because it really is just about believing you have it already and being so happy and grateful in general.

Hope this helps someone! ❤️

This will sound somewhat meta, and kinda odd. But don’t think too much about it, because it kinda works.

It recently dawned on me how I seemed to reserve my intentional imaginations only for things I seemed to desire to achieve. This obviously makes sense. I want to have X item, so I having it, in order to get it. Neville mentioned in his books and lectures if you have a problem imagine the solution.

It, however, never occurred to me once that if I’m struggling with a technique or SATS, that I could just imagine myself feeling the successful outcome of a SATS session, during the day. Then I’d feel compelled and put myself in a better state around night time to do SATS. Because to get better at SATS is also a desire, and to get a desire, we achieve it by imagining not “doing” anything externally to get better.

I know it sounds stupid, but don’t overthink this, if you think too hard about it won’t make sense lol. Hence why I’m giving minimal information. You don’t even need to imagine the actual session just imagine the last few minutes of doing the technique or waking up the next day content and feeling content, relief, etc. Don’t ask why or how it will work, because as Neville said, it’s beyond your knowing.

(TL;DR: I wrote I got three As - nothing more, nothing less - and got them despite no one believing in me)

I have been practicing LOA for 5+ years now and I have no doubt this stuff works. I first encountered LOA/Neville's work when I was 16-17. My first "encounter" was with The Secret but then I realised the more I read Neville's books, law of assumption just made more sense to me (being the operant power and everything). I have tested the law so many times and I will share with you my story from a few years ago when I first witnessed the law play out during my senior year.

I was incredibly stressed this particular school year; facing a lot of friendship circle drama (which I manifested btw by mistake) and all I desired was get straight As to go to university. In the UK, we do A-Levels (the tests you take when you are 17-18 years old and you usually do three subjects) and I needed three As specifically to get into my course.

I kept a journal during my school years where I would often write down what I was feeling, goals (both big and small) and anything I wanted to note so on the first page, I wrote to myself that I have already achieved three As exactly. Keep in mind, the highest grade you can get is an A* (equivalent to an A+ I guess) but I stuck with As because of the grade requirement of my course.

For context, in England your teachers predict the grade you apply to universities with (you usually apply mid school year) before you take your actual tests at the end of the school year so I asked all my teachers if they could predict me an A but most of them refused. I did not take no for an answer. That same week I was listening to Neville's story about how he practiced brazen impudence when the General rejected his application to be honourably discharged from the army so I went home and decided that when I return, my teachers would realise their mistake and give me my predicted As.

I believed in myself and rarely doubted I could get the straight As (both predication and actual). This was the first time that I recall having an immense amount of mental persistence despite others telling me no and making it obvious they didn't believe me but in my head the entire year, I already had those straight As (my "method" was deciding and visualising here and there with a bit of scripting). A few weeks later, all the teachers individually agreed to give me those predicted grades but I felt like they were supposed to anyway.

Results day came after an enjoyable, worry-free summer break and I slept like a baby the night before. I arrived at school to pick up the envelope and upon opening my results, there I see it, the three As I had visualised in my notebook all year long. However because I had reached the Sabbath before I even fully knew what the Sabbath was at 17-18 years old, I wasn't "excited" but felt a feeling of naturalness when I saw my results. Neville doesn't lie when he says that you'll reach a feeling of "this was supposed to happen anyway" as if those desired results were destined to be yours. So now when anyone says this stuff doesn't work- I simply ignore it. I have tested the law countless of times and have countless success stories.

Whether you choose to believe it at a conscious level or not is your choice entirely but you are always practicing the law.

I was aspiring to get a job. For almost a year I had been manifesting it. Everything I did was aligned to that job. To starting this new position this month. I got done with all other commitments before so I can easily start this role. I prepared for the interview so so well. I'm not lying. I believed in every bone in my body it was mine. People around me felt the same. Before the interview results people kept teasing me even saying that when are the results coming so we can congratulate you. It was GONNA happen. My frequency was right there. I had even started working on some of the first month projects already and showed in interview. People used to say I was preparing to win. But when the results came. I was shocked. I didn't get it. Someone else did, who was less qualified, less deserving and less serious than me about it. Everyone was shocked. People said it's politics. But what about manifestation ? I was just at the right frequency. I was breathing the role. I still am. It breaks my heart everyday to see someone else do it even at times disrespect it. I would have worshipped it and been the best possible at the role. I was so there. Can anyone help me understand what I did wrong? When the results came I cried for 1 full day straight, and thot break I think I cried for 5 hours. It was once in a lifetime thing and I hadn't gotten it. I'm still kinda last as to why this happened. Its been over a month but it still fills me full of hurt n hate.

I found Neville's work about 3 years ago. I spent some time reading his work, keeping notes, readings Reddit posts as well because others had the same questions I had when I began my journey. I have manage to manifest a couple small things to test the law like money or calls from people or seing old friends/ people i knew and then manage to manifest a couple things that i wanted fast I would say. Examples

1. I wanned to manifest a friend group. I did affirmations,SATS and expressed my gratitude. I manage to get into a program and from there it took me 4-5 days to be part of a big group and about 4 days to plan our first meeting. (Im not friends with the group now for personal reasons)

2. I wanned my mom to be closer with her relatives (she is close to some but i wanned her to be close to some more). I did affirmations for 2 -3 days forgot about this and 2 months later bridge of bridge of events brought her close to one of them. From the begining of the events till them reunited it took 3 days.

3. One of my now former friends had some personal problems. I was in bed trying to sleep and my thoughts before sleeping was that I should tell my friend about Neville. Just that. A week later my friend told me that a Neville Goddard success story popped up at an other forum he was part of. (this is the only one i have proof it happend for the people who might need proof)

For the past 2 years however I am not able to manifest things, big small, doesnt matter! I reread the books and lectures, did my self concept work etc but again nothing.

Any idea would be appreciated. Thank you
