What Is This Application?
This application teaches you to change your inner assumption about a third-party relationship by using Neville Goddard's 'living in the end' and 'feeling is the secret' principles. It works because you create a sustained, believable feeling-state of the fulfilled desire in imagination, which reshapes your outer experience without coercing another person's free will.
Core Techniques
- Nightly imaginal scene: Before sleep, create a short, sensory scene where the desired reconciliation or outcome is complete; see, hear, and especially feel the emotions as if it is now happening for 5-10 minutes, then fall asleep from that feeling
- Revision of events: Replay a recent third-party scene in imagination, alter it to the preferred outcome, and feel relief and satisfaction; do this immediately after the event or at day end to rewrite memory and its emotional charge
- Inner conversation and I AM statements: Throughout the day, replace jealous or anxious internal dialogue with calm, present-tense 'I am' statements that describe the feeling you want, e.g., 'I am loved and secure,' and hold the bodily sensations of that phrase for 20-60 seconds
- Mental diet and evidence refusal: Track thoughts and quickly dismiss or transform sensory evidence that contradicts your assumption by returning to the imaginal scene and the felt state, practicing repetition until the new assumption feels natural
Quick Methods to Start Today
- Five-minute sleep scene: Tonight, spend 5 minutes before sleep imagining a single brief scene that proves the relationship is resolved and notice the warmth in your chest as proof
- One-minute anchor: During a stressful moment, close your eyes, take three deep breaths, recall a positive memory or imagined moment with sensory detail, and label the feeling with a short phrase like 'I am at peace.'
- Evening revision: Each night, pick one uncomfortable event involving the third party and rehearse an alternative, kinder ending in imagination for 2-4 minutes, ending with gratitude for the new outcome
Key Insights
- You do not try to force or control another person's choice; you change your own inner state and accept whatever external route follows, which is the ethical Neville approach
- Feeling is primary: the vivid, embodied feeling of the wish fulfilled matters more than mental rationalization or affirmations alone
- Focus inward, not on 'how' or on current evidence; sensory facts may lag behind your new assumption, and persistence in feeling bridges the gap
- Jealousy and anxiety are signals to revise your assumption, not reasons to escalate effort; meet them with calm, imaginal proof and self-soothing practices
- Timing varies; consistency in short, emotionally real imaginal acts and a disciplined mental diet produces results faster than sporadic intense rituals such as repetitive counting methods if those lack genuine feeling
Biblical Foundation
This verse emphasizes the inner assumption of having already received. Neville teaches that prayer is the inner, imaginal act where you assume the reality of the desired state as accomplished.
Neville reads this as the principle of speaking and imagining things into being by assuming their reality. The imagination calls those things that are not, as if they were.
Faith is described as a present assurance of the unseen. Neville frames faith as the sustained imaginal conviction that produces the change in consciousness necessary for manifestation.
Step-by-Step Practice Method
- : For three times, quietly imagine the short scene and anchor one strong feeling word like 'peace'. - Midday
- : Six short visualizations, each 10-20 seconds, maintaining the feeling tone and avoiding obsessive analysis. - Evening
- : Nine repetitions during the hour before bed, ending with a full SATS session where you sleep into the assumption. - Focus on the desired outcome, not on 'making someone leave' or controlling another. Reframe: 'We reconcile' or 'He returns to me willingly' rather than coercive commands. 7) Scripting for reconciliation with third party present - Write a brief present-tense script (one paragraph) that describes the reconciled state, including what you say to each other and how you feel. Keep it short and potent. Read it once during your morning practice and once at night, then use the imaginal scene as the core practice. 8) Detachment techniques - After practice, deliberately 'let go' by affirming a sentence like 'It is done in my inner world; I release the outcome to the natural unfolding.' Use a symbolic act: fold the paper and place it in a drawer, or visualize the scene dissolving into light. - Work on inner worth and self-soothing so you are not desperate; desperation repels the desired state. 9) Revision for setbacks - If you encounter upsetting events (arguments, seeing them with someone else), use Neville's revision: replay the scene in imagination as you wished it had happened, feel the corrected ending, and sleep on that revision. 10) Behavioral alignment without scripting outcomes - Live 'as if' in small behavior: carry yourself with confidence, practice kindness toward yourself and others, and be open to opportunities. Do not use forceful actions aimed at separating people; instead align your outer behavior with calm assurance and self-respect. 11) Track and adjust - Keep a brief practice journal noting daily SATS, feelings, and any synchronistic signs. If inner doubt persists, deepen feeling work and shorten the scene to a single powerful sensory anchor. 12) Ethical checkpoints - Continually evaluate the wish against the golden rule and the other person’s autonomy. If the desire causes internal conflict or guilt, reframe toward loving outcomes that respect free will (for example, 'I attract the love that is best for me')
Real-World Applications
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Obsession and hyperfocus - Mistake: Repeating the image dozens of times with anxiety and checking outcomes hourly. Avoid by scheduling two focused practice sessions (morning and night) and using brief mid-day refreshers only
- Trying to control free will - Mistake: Visualizing the other person 'being forced' or commanded to act. Avoid by reframing desires toward mutual willingness, reconciliation, or your own desired state rather than coercion
- Neglecting feeling while doing lots of technique - Mistake: Going through visuals mechanically without evoking feeling. Avoid by anchoring a single strong feeling word like 'peace' or 'gratitude' and ensuring each scene ends with that felt state
- Ignoring ethical implications - Mistake: Pursuing outcomes that harm others or violate your values. Avoid by pausing and asking: 'Would I be proud of this outcome for all involved?' If not, reframe
- Acting in ways that contradict inner assumption - Mistake: Begging, clinging, or engaging in sabotage while imagining reconciliation. Avoid by aligning behavior: act with dignity, set appropriate boundaries, and cultivate self-care
- Giving up too soon - Mistake: Expecting instant external proof and abandoning practice after minor setbacks. Avoid by tracking inner shifts (less anxiety, clearer choices) and committing to consistent SATS and nightly revision for at least several weeks
Advanced Techniques
- Scene Stacking and Layered SATS - For experienced practitioners, create 3 short scenes that represent stages of the desired reconciliation: initial warm reunion, deep honest conversation, and harmonious partnership. In one nightly SATS session, mentally 'stack' them back-to-back, moving through each with sustained feeling. This deepens conviction by creating a narrative arc in the subconscious
- Dual Awareness with Symbolic Acts - Practice SATS while holding a symbolic object that represents the outcome (a ring, a letter, or a simple token). Alternate between inner assumption and outward symbolic acts: imagine the scene, then touch the object and state a short affirmative like 'It is done.' Use the object only during practice to build a conditioned cue between inner state and outward symbol
- Intensive 369 with Revision Integration - For situations with repeated setbacks, do a 21-day intensive: follow the adapted 369 daily, but each evening append a 3-minute revision of any negative events from the day into the desired ending. This combines frequency, emotional saturation, and subconscious rewriting to clear resistance faster
Signs of Progress
- 'I feel less anxious about the outcome' and notice a steady inner calm during the day.
- 'I naturally act with more confidence and self-respect' rather than desperation.
- Dreams or early-morning impressions that replay the imaginal scene or variations of it.
- Small synchronistic events: unexpected messages, chance encounters that feel aligned, or mutual contacts facilitating communication.
- Changes in the other's behavior that reflect warmer or more open interaction, such as more relaxed conversations, willingness to meet, or clearer honest communication.
- New opportunities for mutual connection appearing organically rather than forced or engineered.
Yes - Neville teaches that manifestation is an imaginal, inner act of assumption, not external manipulation; practice a specific, sensory imaginal scene where you 'live in the end' as though reconciliation has occurred, then release it with faith (see Mark 11:24). Respect free will by avoiding attempts to control actions and instead change your own state and self-concept; common blocks are doubt and clinging, so use nightly assumption and revision to quietly replace contrary scenes with the desired feeling.
Use Neville's core techniques: create a short, vivid imaginal scene that implies the desired outcome, assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled just before sleep (the state akin to prayer), and practice revision for past hurts; this is not mere visualization but entering a lived reality that impresses the subconscious (Hebrews 11:1 clarifies faith as assurance). Address impatience and disbelief by doing the scene daily for a few minutes, keeping sensory detail and conviction, and pairing it with neutral outward behavior so you do not attempt to force results.
From Neville's perspective it is ethical when practiced as inner change rather than coercion: you assume the state you desire and transform your consciousness, leaving the other person's will untouched; act from love and respect, not from fear or manipulation, honoring the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12). If guilt or doubt arises, address those blocks with confession and revision, and focus on becoming the person worthy of the relationship instead of trying to force outcomes.
Use Neville's practices of assuming the 'I am' of the fulfilled state, daily revision of jealous scenes into peaceful ones, gratitude, and brief imaginal rehearsals that replace longing with the satisfied feeling; these practical tools retrain the imagination so jealousy no longer fuels your reality (Philippians 4:6-7 encourages replacing anxiety with prayer and thanksgiving). Also practice detachment by setting a nightly assumption, refusing to entertain contrary stories during the day, and using gentle self-observation to catch and correct old patterns.
Timing varies - from days to months - because manifestation completes when your imaginal assumption is sustained and resistance removed; Neville often taught that once the feeling is fixed it produces its visible counterpart, but factors like entrenched habits, karmic patterns, and the other's freedom affect timing (consider Mark 4:26-29 about the seed growing in its own season). Practical steps are persistence: nightly assumption, revision to clear contrary impressions, and detachment from anxious expectation to allow the imagined state to ripen.
