Specific person: why you CAN manifest them and why you SHOULD

Posted on by

In a previous post, I went into detail about why all our desires – be it generic or specific, including the desire for a specific person in our life – are meant for us to have and experience. This post is an add-on to drive the point home that, if your desire is for a specific person, then you absolutely can manifest them, and what’s more than that, you actually should do it.

As we mentioned previously, there is nothing that is off limits to our God nature which we all partake in. All things are possible to God and desires are given to us because they are meant to materialize in the 3D world as one of the infinite expressions of God in this world. We, in our human form, are the vessel through which such expressions come into physical form. God is One Consciousness but with infinite, limitless expressions. Therefore, the desire for a specific person is no different than any other desire, and because all desires are given with the means to their realization already devised – no matter whether our limited human mind can see that clearly or not – it is absolutely possible and doable to manifest a specific person regardless of any 3D circumstances making it seemingly hard or even impossible. Remember that circumstances are only a problem if we perceive them as such. If we remain indifferent to them, or keep a strong conviction that everything happens in our favor, or even that our desire is ours despite any seeming obstacles – all different forms of revision – then they will “magically” either fade away, or change, or will stop mattering even if they remain.

“If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

Mark 9:23

There’s even more to it than that. Not only CAN you manifest a specific person, but you also SHOULD (if that’s what you want). As we already said, desires are given to us for a reason. The reason is for us to have them, enjoy them, have a richer human experience while on this earth, but also fulfill our God self’s expression through that desire coming to pass in the material world. So not honoring your desire by holding back, denying it to yourself, doubting or second guessing it would be denying your God self the opportunity to that physical expression that was meant as a gift for you in the first place. All desires are a promise and a gift from your God self and are meant to be taken and accepted as such. If your desire is for a specific person, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not manifesting it and rejecting this gift that has been extended to you as a special possibility for you – and this goes for any and all desires. Accept your desire for a specific person with gratitude – as you would do with any gift – and give it your energy so that you can see it manifest in the physical realm.

Manifesting a specific person and free will

Posted on by

Some people, especially those coming from traditional Law of Attraction teachings, worry that manifesting a specific person means depriving them of their free will, manipulating them, or exercising some sort of mind control over them. However this is a false premise and in direct contrast with the principle of “Everyone Is You Pushed Out” that we’re going to explore further in this post.

First things first though, let’s get one thing clear and out of the way. Conscious manifesting is not magic, witchcraft, mind control or any other obscure practice – in fact all such practices are actually intention setting accompanied by a ritual to help the practitioner strengthen their own faith in what they’re doing. All conscious manifesting is, is changing one’s self to align with the energy of our desired outcome.

The whole vast world is YOU pushed out.

Neville Goddard

What Neville means in the quote above is that the world is always a mirror of our consciousness within. This includes other people. No one is exempt from that law and means that every person we encounter in our life – in any role or capacity – is simply a reflection of our own thoughts, feelings, beliefs and assumptions about ourselves, them, our relationship with them, and also the world at large. Chances are that, if you are having trouble manifesting a specific person – whether it’s for a new relationship, getting back together, or improving an existing relationship – you have certain mental and/or emotional blocks in one or more of the above categories, which your specific person reflects back to you with their words and/or actions (or lack thereof). For example, you may feel like you are not worthy of love (self concept), that your specific person is not ready to commit to a relationship (belief about the other person), that you are very different people wanting different things (assumption about the relationship between you), or that romantic relationships in general are hard (belief about the world at large). Ultimately though, everything ties back to your self concept on some level or other.

Since everyone out there is a mirror of who you are within, it follows that shifting who you are within will also cause a shift in what the mirror reflects back to you. Just like a physical mirror that always reflects what you put in front of it – whether that’s you winking, smiling, frowning, lifting your arm, or scratching your chin, plus an infinite number of other possibilities – everyone else in your life will always reflect your inner energy into the outer world for you to experience. What do you do if you see something you don’t like in a physical mirror? You correct your hair, makeup, or facial expression into something that matches how you actually want to look like. Similarly, by the principles of conscious manifesting, if someone in your outer world reflects something you don’t prefer, what you are supposed to do is correct the overall energy you project (thoughts, inner conversations, feelings, beliefs) to match what you want to experience with the person instead, which, if consistent enough, they will then reflect back to you sooner or later.

Unlike what most dominantly believe, people don’t deliberately set out to hurt you, upset you, make you angry, jealous, or anxious. Rather, they are reflecting these energies that you – as the main player in your reality – first projected out through your inner conversations and feelings, matching those energies to a T, forever obeying your own internal script about yourself, them, your relationship with them, and the world around you.

For others only echo that which we whisper to them in secret.

Neville Goddard, “The Power of Awareness”

You see then why free will isn’t even relevant in this context and why it is not something that you need to worry about when manifesting a specific person. Let go right now of any and all guilt, fear, or doubt about manipulating others or controlling their thoughts. For no one – not even ourselves – has true free will in this 3D world, except in how we perceive and interpret what we experience in our life, as well as in setting intentions – all parts of choosing the state we dwell in. But we definitely all play the part given to us by the energies other people project upon us. And since we live in quantum bubbles where all we can ever experience is our own reality, other people – including our specific person – are compelled to act out that which we “whisper to them in secret”, which we can choose to change and adjust in any given moment.

How to use revision in everyday life

Posted on by

We’ve said previously that the purpose of revision is not to change external events or circumstances, but rather to change how we ourselves feel about a certain event, circumstance, person, or even about ourselves. In other words, if we change our energy towards it, that in itself will then prompt external circumstances (including other people) to reflect a change back to us. In this post, we are going to explore a few different practical ways through which we can use revision in everyday life, always keeping in mind that the first goal is to change how we feel about whatever we are revising.

  • Neville’s way, aka re-imagine the scene a different way: In “The Pruning Shears of Revision”, Neville encourages us to re-imagine an incident that didn’t go as we had hoped or wanted in a different way that reflects a different development, aligned with what we actually want to have happened. For example, let’s say you got an email with disappointing news. In Neville’s way, you would go within and imagine that email to say what you wish it said instead. You do this as many times as needed until you start feeling better about the unwanted incident, i.e. until your energy starts to change from frustration, sadness, anxiety, disappointment, anger to that of calmness, relief, confidence, gratitude or other similar energy. In some cases, the shift in energy may even take the form of indifference, i.e. you are no longer bothered by what happened, and that is also a good sign. Depending on the level of resistance you have to the new story, it may take several repetitions until you start feeling the effect of your energy changing. Keep at it. In some cases you may only do it once or twice and immediately feel the shift. In other cases it may take days or even weeks of repetition. Both scenarios are fine and normal. It is not necessary to actually forget what happened initially, but remember you are going for a change in attitude and feeling towards what happened. You need to be able to not dwell on it anymore with pain and hurt attached to the memory of it.
  • Give the story a different meaning that aligns with your desired outcome: Remember that everything and everyone is you pushed out, so this is actually a very effective way to deal with an unwanted event, as what you think, believe and assume is literally what you end up seeing in your reality. In this technique, you do not change the facts of what has occurred, but you change the interpretation of the facts and your perception of them to something desirable or at least neutral. For example, let’s say your specific person took hours to respond to your message and that has upset you. Instead of giving it the meaning that they are ignoring you, don’t care about you, don’t love you, don’t want to talk to you, and this entire negative spiral of thoughts, feelings and self-pity, you give it a different meaning that suits you. For example, you may instead convince yourself that they have lost their phone, that they are sleeping, that they are swamped with back to back meetings, or even that they are actually on their way to your home to surprise you with a visit, but that in any event, you will be hearing from them shortly and that you are on their mind regardless. The new meaning in itself doesn’t matter as long as it’s something that feels good to you. The more you’re able to believe the new meaning you assign to the story, the better, because the easier it will be for your subconscious to accept it. So make sure it’s something believable to you that you can get behind and repeat to yourself until you feel your grip loosening and your desperation going down and you stop dwelling negatively on the fact.
  • Everything is a bridge bringing you closer to your desired outcome: In this method, you don’t even need to revise any of the facts, but it is important to stay neutral about what has happened (it’s ok to acknowledge that it wasn’t what you ideally wanted, but don’t dwell on it) and to not pass any judgment to the best of your ability. Instead, you observe the event as it occurred – if you’re a more advanced practitioner, feel free to do some reverse engineering and connect the event that was mirrored back to you with your inner beliefs or assumptions where it came from – and reassure yourself that, even if it looks bad at first glance, it is still working in your favor and it is still a bridge working for you, not against you, with the sole purpose of bringing your desired outcome to you. The folk story of the young peasant who broke his legs and whose whole village pitied him for his misfortune, only for him to find out a few days later that war had broken and that his disability had saved him from being drafted as a soldier to the war is a perfect example of that. Something seemingly bad or negative turns out instead to be a big blessing in disguise. Assume that everything is working in your favor no matter how it may look like at first. Believe that everything and everyone in the world is a bridge bringing your desire to you, even if it you can’t immediately tell how it connects to it.
  • Accept it and persist in your desired outcome: Another effortless way to revise something unwanted, similar to the point above, is to accept that it happened but persist in the inner knowing that your desire is yours regardless and will be made manifest in your world anyway. Losing a battle doesn’t need to mean that the war is lost – in fact the war is never lost unless you decide it is – so don’t blow any hiccups in the way out of proportion and continue to believe that things are going to turn out the way you want them to anyway, no matter what may come in the way. Accepting an event doesn’t mean accepting that it will or can never change. All it means is that you observe it, drop any resistance to it having happened, and persist in your end result regardless, knowing that your desire is indeed yours come rain or shine.

All the above methods are valid and equally ‘correct’, and you may find yourself having a favorite one or choosing to implement a different one each time depending on the circumstance, your own levels of resistance to it, and how you generally feel at each given time. My only advice is to choose what feels best and most natural to you, so there really is no right or wrong way of doing revision. There is also no right or wrong way of implementing the revision. Some people prefer to script it and read their new story over as many times as needed. Others prefer to visualize or imagine using their senses. Others prefer to construct a short scene or inner conversation that reflects their new story. Yet others like to affirm or rampage to themselves, either on a loop until they feel better, or every time the story comes to mind, or even intermittently as they feel like it. Again there is no right or wrong way other than what feels right to you. Be bold and go for what feels most natural, and you will soon start feeling the shift within, which is where the outer magic that shifts things in the external also begins.

Revision and what it’s all about

Posted on by

“Revision is of greatest importance when the motive is to change oneself, when there is a sincere desire to be something different, when the longing is to awaken the ideal active spirit of forgiveness. Without imagination, man remains a being of sin. Man either goes forward to imagination or remains imprisoned in his senses. To go forward to imagination is to forgive. Forgiveness is the life of the imagination. The art of living is the art of forgiving.”

Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard was a big proponent of revision. He taught that it’s the tool by which we are able to move forward into the future by removing the emotional and mental burdens of our past and present. He even argued that, without revision, a hurtful past event does not actually stay in the past, but is carried into the present moment, perpetually re-infecting our present reality every time it’s revisited as a painful memory.

But how does revision actually work and what is it’s actual purpose and mechanism? The concept of revision can be somewhat confusing, especially to those just starting out, because it can be easy to assume that what we’re doing with revision is straight out changing actual past events. While this isn’t necessarily inaccurate, the mechanism by which revision works merits some clarification. While me may choose to revise an unfavorable event or situation by imagining it transpiring in a different, more favorable way, the way Neville taught it (and it’s worth mentioning here that there isn’t only one way to revise – but this is beyond the scope of this article and we will go into more depth in a future post), the first and main purpose of applying revision is to change our own thoughts, feelings, and energy surrounding said event or situation.

“Change the way you see things, and the things you see will change.”

Wayne Dyer

The above quote from Wayne Dyer captures the essence of revision. We do not apply revision to change the actual event, but to change the way we see this event internally. Change always starts within and is then projected out. It’s never the other way around. This is how the Law works and there are no exceptions. Changing your energy regarding a specific event or situation that has hurt or triggered you in the past or the present — your thoughts, feelings, assumptions, inner emotions, opinions — will inevitably cause you to see this event in a completely new way, under an entirely new light, and to feel very differently about it. It will remove feelings such as being triggered, hurt, annoyed, angry, upset, jealous, or feeling like a victim — all these low energies that keep us stuck in unwanted states of being. Now what happens after that change has occurred in a genuine, sustained way is when the true magic begins. Just like Wayne Dyer implied in his quote, things (and this includes people, circumstances, events and situations) begin to change as well in all sorts of exciting ways. For example, you may notice that someone in your life starts treating you much better than before after you have revised the way you perceive them and have allowed that new perception to become dominant in your consciousness. You may find that a circumstance you previously thought to be insurmountable all of a sudden shifts or disappears or stops mattering. You may even experience people remembering past events differently after you’ve shifted your state in relation to those events. For example, someone may no longer remember a fight they had with you or the hurtful words they might have said to you and are now behaving in a completely different way that’s aligned to your revised state. These are all proper quantum shifts in your reality, brought about by your shifting your state in connection to a person, event, or circumstance. All this happens because you, the observer of all things in your reality, have shifted, and as a result, your world, being your mirror at all times, has to shift with you. This is the Law.

So don’t take revision to be a tool to change external events and circumstances you don’t like. It all goes back to you before anything can change in the external. Through revision, you shift yourself and your perception of things in your reality to allow a new reality to emerge. It is then that you will experience the material world shifting in ways that you may never have thought possible. But for this to happen, YOU need to change first and the change in your energy has to be genuine, sustained and consistent for the seeming miracles to start pouring in. Revision is an excellent tool that can allow that to occur.

Specific person: this or something better?

Posted on by

There is a lot of discussion in manifesting communities on whether manifesting a specific person is the way to go when bringing love into your life. To this extent, you will often hear coaches advising people to intend for “this or something better” as a way to avoid fixating on one person, which can sometimes delay a manifestation. I will beg to differ for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, let’s consider the nature and source of our desires. To quote Neville, our desires are given to us by our higher self, our God self within.

“Stop asking yourself whether you are worthy or unworthy to receive that which you desire. You, as man, did not create the desire. Your desires are ever fashioned within you because of what you now claim yourself to be.”

Neville Goddard, “At Your Command”

Being infinite and infinitely wise and knowing, our God self would never come up with any desire that is incapable of materializing in the 3D world. Our desires are meant for us based on what we need at this point in time for our spiritual development and on where we currently are in our level of consciousness, but of course they are also meant to be ours for reasons of pure fun and enjoyment in this human experience we are all taking part in. To summarize the first point, the mere fact that you have a desire automatically means that you are meant to have it and that it is capable of manifesting.

Second point, the statement of “this or something better”, while well-intentioned, also hides a level of fear and doubt in it. Should I fail to manifest my original specific person, I can look forward to “something better” waiting for me down the road. While this sounds like a nice consolation prize in a way, I am very against us coaches telling people who they should or shouldn’t be manifesting or whether it’s right or wrong to manifest a specific person if this is what they choose. We are infinite beings and have the power to shape our lives any way we want. We have also been given our specific desire for a reason and if this sounds foreign to you, I encourage you to go back to the first point and read it again. Once again, our desires are meant for us and we have the right to want to take this journey at this point in time with a specific person rather than someone generic – if this is our desire. There is nothing wrong with changing our mind and deciding later that we’d rather shift our attention to another specific person or to manifesting love in general and being open to a new person that comes along, as either one of these would be a new, separate desire in its own merit. But if our desire pertains to a specific person, then in my opinion we should honor our God self and our desire and confidently focus on that, knowing that the means for our success have already been devised.

Third point, the desire to manifest a specific person into your life does not in fact differ from any other specific desire — whether it be manifesting a house in a specific area, a specific job in a specific company, a specific amount of money, a cure from a specific health problem, a specific gift, specific car make and model, and so on. There is nothing that says that a specific person is off limits, more difficult, more challenging or less ethically correct than any of the above. Again we go back to “our desires are given to us from our God self within and as such, are meant for us to have them and are meant to materialize.”

Last but not least, the “something better” in itself is a moot point. As conscious manifestors, we know that we can choose to shape our reality in any way we choose based on the concept we hold of ourselves and others. This means that the way we perceive another is going to be directly reflected back to us in how they appear in our reality. We also know that every person holds infinite versions of themselves and that there is, right now, a version of that person that is exactly the version we desire to experience that can be brought forth as long as we focus our energy on it. Therefore there is nothing to say that the “something better” cannot be experienced through that specific person that our eyes were set on in the first place. Their “better” version is right there for us to tap into, channel, and sooner or later get to experience and enjoy in our 3D reality.

So if your heart is set on a specific person that is special to you for your own reasons, please don’t listen to any naysayers that may try to convince you not to go for it. It’s a desire like any other desire and it’s as valid as any other specific or general desire. It is also yours, meant and fashioned for you, and designed by your infinite God self just for you to experience and enjoy. Therefore you should absolutely go for it without any guilt, fear, or hesitation.
