- *Consciousness is your only reality-
Consciousness is the door through which life reveals itself (your faith is your fortune)
What defines an abundant state of consciousness? = Consciousness is awareness
“You have to be consciously aware of the consciousness that draws the abundance that you want to you”
“You cannot serve two masters or opposing states of consciousness at the same time.”
“Taking your attention from one state and placing it upon the other you die to the one from which you have taken it and you live and express the one with which you are united.”
(be consciously free and open to abundance and opportunity)- leave your old self behind and step into your new self as if the desire is already fulfilled.)
In your Faith is Your Fortune – “to catch the large manifestations of life you must enter into deeper and freer states of consciousness. Only in these depths do the big expression of life live”
Choose to be in a higher level of abundance consciousness, money consciousness.
“Regardless of occasional experiences to the contrary it is your destiny to rise to higher and higher states of consciousness and to bring into manifestation more and more of creation’s infinite wonders.”
(Embrace and embody every new desire
- The mirror principle-
“Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world”
(Stop the blame game, criticising everyone, trying to change everyone and the world.)
“Only if you change your inner state, WILL YOUR OUTER REALITY SHIFT.”
“Stop trying to change the world since it is only the mirror, man’s attempt to change the world by force is as fruitless as breaking a mirror in the hope of changing his face. Leave the mirror and change your face. Leave the world alone and change your conceptions of yourself. The reflection then will be satisfactory.”
(Who is that person that you see in the mirror? Does that person think abundant thoughts?, if not change it! Does that person feel abundant feelings? If not change it!! Does that person walk in an abundant way or does that person walk as though they are defeated? Then if so change it!
“The world is a mirror, forever reflecting what you are doing within yourself. If you know this, you are set free and a series of events will unfold within you, to reveal the story of salvation.”
(Do you believe that you are worthy of money? That being wealthy is your birth right, that there are so many good people out there that are wealthy?)
“The art of believing- Beliefs invariably awaken what they affirm. The world is a mirror wherein everyone sees himself reflected. The objective world reflects the beliefs of the subjective mind.
- You create your own reality- Imagination creates reality
“The principle you have unconsciously used to bring about the undesirable conditions in your life, can be consciously applied to make every dream come true.”
If you can create sickness you can also create health, If you create poverty, you can also create wealth.
“You imagined yourself into your present state, if you don’t like it, you must imagine yourself out of it and into another. It is all a matter of movement.”
(Take responsibility for your own life-see yourself over and over again doing being and feeling what you truly desire.)
“Imagination creates reality- Now imagination being spiritual sensation is the creator of the world. With her 5 senses: sight, sound, scent, taste and touch, she transformed a street car in San Francisco into a ship in the south pacific, and within one month she physically fulfilled her imaginal act.”
- Feel as though your desire is fulfilled-
“When I speak of feeling I do not mean emotion, but acceptance of the fact that the desire is fulfilled.”
FEELING IS THE SECRET- and feeling the wish fulfilled fulfills this exact wish
But an elevated intense emotion is not necessary, a relaxed feeling of knowingness is enough. A relaxed feeling of knowingness brings on natural elevated emotions of joy and happiness. And make it easier for you to create the wish fulfilled. That it is already done. Reach for a relaxed state of peace and calm.
“The great secret is a controlled imagination and a well sustained attention, firmly and repeatedly focused on the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Until it fills the mind and crowds all other ideas out of consciousness.”
(Practise this repeatedly and presently, consistently aligning with and embodying the wish fulfilled.)
- Step into a new self-concept-
If you change your self-concept the world around you changes.
“The power of awareness- If creation is finished, and all events are taking place now the question that springs naturally to the mind is; ‘What determines your time track?’- That is, what determines the events which you encounter? And the answer is your concept of yourself!”
(New self-concept – From today I am a millionaire)
**”To reach a higher level of being, you must assume a higher concept of yourself.”
Self-concept= how you see yourself, how you see others and how you see the world around you. So look at your BELIEFS, THOUGHTS, EXPRESSIONS, THE WAY YOU WALK, TALK AND STAND
Internal Thought Level – lack = I never have enough
Abundant = I always have way more than enough
External Thought Level – lack = In this economy it’s so hard to make money
Abundance = No matter what the economy looks like there are so many opportunities to make money
“The power of awareness- The process of rising from your present concept to a higher concept of yourself is the means of all true progress. The higher concept is waiting for you to incarnate it in the world of experience.
(Putting the wrong seeds in the ground will completely wreck your harvest)
- Catch and change your thoughts to align with the wish fulfilled.
What you sow is what you reap-
“Your faith is your fortune- When you drop your desire in consciousness as a seed confident that it shall appear in its full-blown potential, you have done all that is expected of you. To be worried or concerned about the manner of their unfoldment, is to hold these fertile seeds in a mental grasp and, therefore, to prevent them from really maturing to full harvest.”
Don’t ask how or when – The when is largely influenced by your self-concept and your ability to embody it, to step into it.
“You simply plant and let the harvest take care of itself.”
- Underlie the feeling of the wish fulfilled with a clear assumption-
To assume- to take or begin to have
Assumption- A thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof
In order to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled you have to immerse yourself into it. Accept the reality without the actual proof in your physical reality and therefore it becomes your physical reality.
“Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and observe the route that your attention follows.”
Everything we want can be created by going into the assumption that it is already ours, it is already our reality.
“The physical manifestation always follows the psychological change.”
Resurrection- Imagine your dream as reality. Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and continue feeling that it is fulfilled until that which you feel objectifies itself. If a physical fact can produce a psychological state, a psychological state can produce a physical fact.
- Let go of the past-
If you don’t overcome the feeling of regret you will not be able to manifest your dreams no matter what your dreams are. Regret keeps you anchored in lack.
“Feeling is the secret- Do not waste one moment in regret, for to think feelingly of the mistakes of the past is to reinfect yourself. Turn from appearances and assume the feeling that would be yours were you already the one you wish to be.”
Start this mindset now, make a clear decision that from now on your past has no place in your future. Free yourself from the past by embracing the law of assumption everyday. Free yourself from the past by stepping into your new self-concept everyday. No longer allow doubt, worry, disbelief be a part of your life.
“Man believes the future to be the natural development of the past, but the law of assumption clearly shows that this is not the case. Your assumption places you psychologically where you are not physically. Then your senses pull you back from where you were psychologically to where you are physically. It is these psychological forward motions that produce your physical forward motions in time.”
- Live in the end result-
“The feeling is the secret- Live in the feeling of being the one you want to be and that you shall be.”
If you want to be wealthy, live your life as somebody who is wealthy.
If you want to be healthy, live your life as somebody who is already healthy.
If you want to be in a loving relationship, live your life as somebody who is already right now in a loving relationship.
How? Neville shares 2 manifestation techniques:
- The “Isn’t it wonderful” technique – Repeat in your mind isn’t it wonderful that I am making thousands a month, isn’t it wonderful that I am already a millionaire. Isn’t it wonderful that I have so much love and joy in my life, isn’t it wonderful that my body is already healed, isn’t it wonderful that I am already in a fulfilling relationship, etc.
(The more you do this the more you convince your subconscious mind that you are already in this reality, you are not faking it until you make it, you are embodying it until it materialises.)
- The “How did I” technique – This is not looking for the process or logical facts but more like a confirming question, e.g. – “How did I become this successful? How did I achieve this level of health? How did I materialise this wonderful relationship? If you can but yourself in this confirming state you live in the end result.
“As the end is accepted, you become totally indifferent as to possible failure, for acceptance of the end wills the means to that end. When you emerge from the moment of prayer it is as though you were shown the happy and successful end of a play. Although you were not shown how that end was achieved, however, having witnessed the end, regardless of any anticlimactic sequence, you remain calm and secure in the knowledge that the end has been perfectly defined.”
10. Embrace the right mental diet-
What is your mental diet?
“If we could master our inner conversations to mirror our desires on a daily basis, as if they were true, as if they were happening now, then all our desires would manifest, it is law.”
Affirmations only work if you use them to revise, to change and to transform every negative thought that you think. Any thoughts that limit you in your current self-concept that you want to get out of and that limits your manifestation.
“If we do not like what is happening to us, it is a sure sign that we are in need of a change of mental diet.”
Choose one guiding affirmation that leads you to a new self-concept, e.g. I am rich and abundant, I am getting healthier everyday, I am worthy of a great love, etc. This starts to become more natural as you do it repetitively.
“We cannot have a little bit of meditation in the morning, curse at noon, and then do something else in the evening. We have to go on a mental diet. For a week we must completely change our mental diet. Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report. If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things.”
11. Everything you want is already yours-
“Creation is finished”
“Persistent imagination, centered in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, is the secret of all successful operations.
Every potential that you want is already there in a parallel reality and if you life from the end result it materialises for you, you step into it.
“The power of awareness- Because creation is finished, what you desire already exists. It is excluded from view because you can see only the contents of your own consciousness.”
You do not have to suffer or work hard to get what you want, you just have to simply imagine yourself in the reality of the end result. Do this persistently and it will appear in your physical reality, it is law!
Your faith is your fortune- “when a sculptor looks at a formless piece of marble, he sees, buried within its formless mass, his finished piece of art. The sculptor, instead of making his masterpiece, merely reveals it by removing that part of the marble which hides his conception. The same applies to you.”
You must remove any limiting belief that keeps you stuck in an undesirable state.
The power of awareness- “This is what is meant by creation and the statement that creation is finished – means that nothing is ever to be created, it is only to be manifested. What is called creativeness is only becoming aware of what already is.
12. The bridge of incidence-
Everything unfolds exactly as it should when you are living from the end result. If you are using all principles the universe conspires to guide you on towards the wish fulfilled. This could look like losing your job or getting sick only to allow the right opportunities in. Trust the process and allow new bridges to appear.
“One day I was fired from J.C> Penney Co., working for a year and a half, running their elevator and being their errand boy, making $22 a week and paying $5 room rent. I could not understand it when they let me go. But my dreams, my desires, transcended my position there. So they had to do what they did in order for my desires to be realized. Believe me, you are the cause of the phenomena of your life, be it good, bad, or indifferent.”
If x hadn’t happened you could not have your wish fulfilled. If you do these 12 principles consistently the right doors will open. The right people come into your life, the right opportunities, the right downloads to lead to success, etc.
“An assumption builds a bridge of incidents that lead inevitably to the fulfillment of itself.”
People may try to say everything is coincidence rather than manifestation, but by now you know different.
Live in the end- “If you tell them it came to pass because you imagined it, No, they will point to the series of events that led up to it. And they will credit to the bridge of incidents, across which you walked towards the fulfillment of that state. And they will point out some physical thing that was the cause. No, the cause is invisible.”
