Living In The End: Turn Your Desired Outcome into Present Reality

Biblical Foundation

Step-by-Step Practice Method

1. Clarify the End Result - State the desire in one clear sentence in present tense (e.g., "I have a checking account with $10,000," "He loves me and communicates from a place of respect"). - Define sensory specifics and outcome feelings: what you see, hear, smell, taste, touch, and, most important, how you feel
2. Construct a Short, Concrete Scene - Create a 10-60 second scene that implies the wish fulfilled and includes sensory details. Use one scene only, not a movie of steps to the outcome. For example: sit in front of a bank statement with $10,000 at the top, smile, feel relief and gratitude; or receive a text from your partner saying, "I love you and appreciate you," and feel warmth
3. SATS (State Akin To Sleep) Practice - Time: just before sleep or during a very relaxed midday rest. The optimal window is when drowsy but still conscious. - Preparation: breathe slowly, relax body progressively, lower external attention. - Enter SATS: let eyelids become heavy, mental focus narrowed. - Apply the Scene: introduce your short scene into this receptive state and run it once or several times, each run with full sensory input and the inner feeling as if real. - End: allow yourself to drop into sleep while holding the feeling; do not analyze
4. Mental Diet Throughout the Day - Monitor inner conversation. Whenever doubt, fear, complaining, or unwanted images arise, immediately shift attention to a brief imaginal scene of the end. Replace negative streams with small 'as if' moments (e.g., a 15-second scene of your satisfied bank balance). - Refuse to entertain contrary evidence. Silence commentary that reinforces lack by saying, "I am not entertaining that now," then redirect
5. Revision of Past Events (Neville technique) - Each evening, mentally revise any day events that felt undesirable. Replay the incident in imagination the way you wish it had happened and feel how it should have felt. This removes future hooks that attract similar events
6. Living 'From' the End During Action - Make small choices and actions from the state of already having your desire. You do not need elaborate actions that prove the wish; rather, act with the dignity, taste, and conduct of the fulfilled state (tone of voice, posture, choice of clothes, financial decisions appropriate to the assumed state)
7. Perseverance & Nonresistance - Persist with the nightly SATS and daytime mental diet until inner evidence becomes persistent. Avoid checking behaviors and temporizing questions ("When will it come?"). Maintain inner calm and expectancy
8. Practical Structure (daily routine) - Morning: 1-3 short imaginal scenes for 30 seconds each to set tone. - Daytime: mental diet with 3-5 spontaneous end-state reinforcements when triggered. - Night (SATS): one detailed scene before sleep, run until drowsy, fall asleep on the feeling
9. Recording & Adjustment - Journal impressions, symbolic confirmations, and shifts in feeling. If scenes feel weak, refine sensory detail and specificity. If resistance appears, identify core limiting assumptions and use revision and affirmations in first person present tense to counter them

Real-World Applications

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Lack of Feeling (Intellectualizing) - Why it fails: Neville teaches that feeling is the secret. Imagination without emotion doesn't impress the subconscious. - How to avoid: Spend time cultivating the physical sensations of the end (warmth in the chest, tears of joy, calm certainty). Use memory anchors-recall a real moment you felt a similar feeling to fuel the scene
2. Creating a Movie of How It Must Happen (Focusing on Means) - Why it fails: Imagining steps or the 'how' keeps you in the world of lack and denies the presence of the end. - How to avoid: Build scenes that show the end already attained, not the process. If a method arises, treat it as a potential physical means but not part of the imaginal act
3. Poor Mental Diet / Allowing Contradictory Thoughts - Why it fails: Repeated doubts and complaints overwrite the imaginal suggestion. - How to avoid: Train immediate redirection. Short, 10-30 second end-state scenes on intrusive thoughts. Use a daily checklist: three morning scenes, mental diet reminders, one SATS session
4. Impatience and Frequent Checking - Why it fails: Checking external evidence keeps attention on lack and delays inner acceptance. - How to avoid: Set a no-check period. Trust the process and look for inner signs first (calm, peace). Record small confirmations but refrain from obsessive verification
5. Inconsistent Practice and Fuzzy End Definition - Why it fails: The subconscious requires repetition and a clear blueprint. Vague goals create ambiguity and weak imaginal impressions. - How to avoid: Define the desire precisely in present tense. Commit to daily SATS and mental diet for at least 30-60 days. Refine the scene weekly for clarity and sensory richness

Advanced Techniques

1. Revision as a Creative Tool (Deep Neville Method) - Method: At night, replay any moment from your day or past that was unpleasant. Rewrite it in imagination so it occurred to your liking. Emphasize the new feeling. Do this before SATS or at bedtime. - Why it works: Revision reharmonizes subconscious impressions so that the future no longer repeats the old script. It also clears emotional energy that interferes with living in the end
2. The 'I AM' Persona Technique - Method: Carry an internal identity statement in first-person present tense (e.g., "I am a person of abundance and calm"). Whenever decisions arise, ask, "What would I AM do?" Act from that identity for even small things (tone, purchases, speech). Combine with short imaginal reinforcements during the day. - Why it works: Neville taught that the "I AM" is the seed consciousness. By assuming and living the 'I AM' of the fulfilled state, you align subconscious identity with your wish
3. Micro-SATS and Triggered End-State Miniatures - Method: Train to drop into a 10-30 second end-state scene multiple times per day when you encounter triggers (a phone buzz, a queue, a moment of anxiety). Over time these micro-SATS build the subconscious impression with high frequency. - Why it works: High-frequency, short-duration rehearsals increase neural encoding of the new assumption and reduce resistance. This is useful when time is limited or when rapid conditioning is needed. Bonus advanced tip: Use symbolic acts that reflect the end (change a small object, wear a specific color, keep a token) while feeling the end. These act as anchors and reinforce the inner state without creating attachment to external form

Signs of Progress

• Persistent inner peace and lack of anxiety about the desire. You feel as if it is done more often than not.
• Increased vividness and ease of the end-state imaginal scenes. The feeling becomes natural and accessible.
• Subtle mood changes: spontaneous gratitude, optimism, and a sense of rightness.
• Synchronicities and chance events that move you toward the desire (calls, opportunities, meeting the right person).
• Small, progressive confirmations rather than full dramatic shifts (a positive email, a small financial deposit, improved test results, softened behavior from another person).
• You begin to act from the assumed state: different posture, decisions, speech, and choices that match having the wish fulfilled.
• Decreased checking, fewer panic responses, and more trust in intuition.
• Timing varies widely. Many report inner changes within days and external results within weeks to months, depending on resistance and complexity.
• Early successes are usually small and symbolic; sustain practice to convert symbols into large-scale manifestations.
• If nothing changes: check feeling intensity, consistency of SATS, and mental diet. Look for unexamined contradictions (secret beliefs) and use revision to clear them.
• If anxiety spikes when results near: you are likely holding a hidden fear of fulfillment. Return to SATS focused on the desired feeling and use 'I AM' statements to stabilize identity.
