All Is Imagination

Neville Goddard:

My experience revealed to me that I am supreme within the circle of my own state of consciousness and that it is the state with which I am identified that determines what I experience. Therefore it should be shared with all, that imagining creates reality, for to know this is to become free from the world’s greatest tyranny, the belief in a second cause. Blessed are they whose imagination has been so purged of the beliefs in second causes they know that imagination is all, and all is imagination. We, by a series of mental transformations, become aware of increasing portions of that which already is, and by matching our own mental activity to that portion of creation which we desire to experience, we activate it, resurrect it, and give it life.

To Be Magnetic

Lacy Phillips:

In my practice, I study my most magnetic clients. We’re talking about the person who’ll say “I have this company, and wouldn’t it be cool if Vogue wrote about it?” And then Vogue emails that night. They’re so magnetic, and everything they want comes to them.

The most major commonality lucky people share is that they’re incredibly vulnerable and honest. It’s a kind of humble, authentic honesty. They are fully in their authenticity, meaning they’re not hiding. Nothing’s owning them.

Lucky people don’t do the ego dance, which is when we go out into public or we’re around somebody new and low self-worth leads us to question: “Who should I be? Will they love me? What do I say for them to love?” Magnetic people don’t do that. They share a dissociation from that ego dance and they’re just presently, authentically, vulnerably themselves.

There is also the very rare unicorn who grew up in an environment where they were incredibly loved, believed in; there wasn’t any shame. Things come to them because they are whole.

And:

What we don’t own owns us. Anywhere we have shadows still, where we are judging or projecting, it’s just where we’re wanting to be loved.

And:

A huge component of what creates that force, that pull, magnetism, if you will, is self-worth. Anytime I would step into my power, and no longer settle for things where I had been really small or insecure in the past, and say no—and claim my power—what I wanted would connect with me. Thinking positive had nothing to do with it; it was standing in my power and strength and worth and not settling for less that mattered.

And:

1. START SAYING NO. This applies to anything that’s not a “hell yes” in your life. Anytime you’re people-pleasing or doing something because you think you should be, or settling, what you’re communicating energetically and projecting is: “I’m not worth doing what I want” or “I don’t feel valuable enough to do what I want, therefore I’m going to keep staying small.” Whenever you’re in that mode, you’re just going to keep attracting the same lessons over and over and over again. Create boundaries and say no to what’s not a yes. That’s the number one thing somebody can do right away.

2. TAKE UP MORE SPACE. Look at anywhere in your life where you’re being small right now. Where you know you desire more and you’re worth more inside. Maybe you’re still in the job you hate. You’re still dating that person who treats you like shit or you’re still going out with the emotionally unavailable person. Wherever you’re small, you’re not able to create; it’s a block in your life. There’s no magnetism. To feed your magnetism, start accepting only what makes you feel big and true to who you are.

And:

What we don’t own owns us. Anywhere we have shadows still, where we are judging or projecting, it’s just where we’re wanting to be loved. The moment we integrate that and take our power back, anything that was making us feel insecure no longer exists. We’re in our worthy selves, and we can attract the thing that we’re wanting.

Go Into God Mode & Live the Dream There

Self Concept. I’m realizing more and more that it’s all about self concept. How you view yourself is what shapes your reality. So imagine being this version of yourself that you want to be. Feel yourself as this version. Act it out in your imagination. Who are you? Who do you wish to be. Live in that mindset of the self you desire to be. Don’t fight who you are. It’s like boxing with shadows. Just choose to be who you want to be in the imagination and leave 3D alone. 3D is all shadows of the past and so often we choose to chase them, box with them, be frightened of them. I catch myself doing it and it’s insane. Instead, go into godmode, into imagination and live the dream there. Then the shadows in 3D change to that.

I’ve remade myself more times than I can count and it always was in my imagination where I began to see myself differently first. Then it became the 3D shadow. And your goal is how I live now and I have lived that way generally quite content/happy about it but I used to want a guy in my life so much. I used to feel lonely. I used to dread the idea of being alone. And like you at times I would be with someone and be like OMG so much stress!

Lately I’m playing around with a guy in my imagination again for fun. I’m having a wonderful relationship and loving it. I think I just felt like I did the single thing for so long that a change became desirable when someone caught my attention after years of that never happening. I took it as a sign that maybe this meant I’m feeling more open again to such a thing whereas for many, many years I was not interested in it at all.

But it is all about self concept. Who are you in your imagination? Who are you in your thoughts? I have seen myself in some very negative ways in the past and those came to be my 3D shadows. Over time I came to see myself better and better, tweaking some traits, adding others. Creating some new truths while letting old ones fade away. You get to be whomever you want! It’s your imagination. Make it a good one that you enjoy and so shall you become that in your 3D shadowland.

Steve Martin – Preparation

The Hollywood Reporter’s profile on Steve Martin:

In person, Martin appears tailored for five-star hotels. If he got the memo about suits not surviving the pandemic, he’s chosen to ignore it. He’s arrived early, in a crisp navy blue number, and offers a salutatory fist-bump, explaining that he’d been trying to liberate himself from handshakes for years. Taking a seat in a leather armchair and swinging his left leg across the right, he is sedate compared to the frenetic banana he’s been on so many stages and countless screens. But he isn’t stingy with punchlines, either. Martin seems keenly aware of what’s expected of him.

“One time Steve was visiting at Saturday Night Live, and I had seen him do [David] Letterman the night before,” says Tina Fey, who has forged a friendship with him over many projects — most recently as his true-crime podcasting foil on Only Murders. “I said, ‘You were so funny on Letterman last night.’ And he very matter-of-factly said, ‘Well, you have to kill every time.’ It was chilling to me, but it’s true. Comedy people can’t go on talk shows and blather like actors. We’re supposed to deliver. Steve always delivers.”

Delivering does not just happen, even for Martin. “He phoned me up once and said, ‘Do you have a minute to hear some jokes? I’m doing Jimmy Kimmel in two months,’ ” says Short. ” ‘And you’re already working on it?!‘ That’s why he’s Steve Martin. That’s why he’s still Steve Martin.” (Michaels, too, has gotten those calls and is quick to clarify: “Most people I know prepare on the drive to the show.”)

Martin takes an almost scientific approach to developing his material. The blueprint for this can be found in Born Standing Up, the 2007 memoir of his stand-up years — “I don’t know a comic who hasn’t read that book,” says Amy Schumer. “He’s in the comedy DNA of me and everyone I know” — in which he recounts the often surrealist routine he honed over the course of the 1970s.

Sharing Your Work / Subtle Attacks

Lisa Tener on what to do when someone tries to take the wind out of your sails:

In terms of the writing–he’s not your target audience. I would be very careful of not giving the book to someone who is not your target audience right now. I would focus on getting feedback from people who are your target audience–probably mostly women. And people you trust to be kind, who will offer helpful, specific feedback.

And:

One of the lessons here is to be careful who you share your work with. Once someone has proven untrustworthy (i.e. it’s not like he gave you some great feedback that was very specific and helped you improve the book the first time he looked at it), do not trust them with an additional read. Lesson learned.

It sounds like his was also an energetic attack, meant to undermine your creative energy, confidence and success. So, maybe spend some time in nature, do whatever you need to connect to your life-force and rejuvenate your spirit. Envision yourself taking back any life-force energy he may have “taken” with his attack. Don’t dwell on it, though. Reconnect with your strength and from that place, ask what’s next. It may be very helpful to work with a coach or a healer to clear the trauma of this and un-create whatever beliefs about yourself that fed into this attack.

My sense is that when someone has a passion as you do, it’s no accident. You are meant to write this book and all the support you need to make it compelling is available to you as you remain steadfast.

Turn Your Attention Away / Switch the Channel

Reddit:

“Just as a branch has no life except it be rooted in the vine, so likewise things have no life except you be conscious of them. Just as a branch withers and dies if the sap of the vine ceases to flow towards it, so do things in your world pass away if you take your attention from them, because your attention is as the sap of life that keeps alive and sustains the things of your world.”

“To dissolve a problem that now seems so real to you all that you do is remove your attention from it”

“If you are dissatisfied with your present expression in life the only way to change it, is to take your attention away form that which seems so real to you and rise in consciousness to that which you desire to be.”

Here are some of the quotes from Neville’s book, At Your Command.

In his books, Neville talks about dropping the problem from the awareness in order to get rid of it. But what does he mean by that?

I understand that he means shift your attention from the problem to the wish fulfilled but how do you completely drop the stress/worry of it from your mind?

For eg, if person A needs money but they don’t have a job yet, while they’re pretending to be rich and live in the wish fulfilled, how do they stop worrying about the lack of money/job completely?

Another example – if person B wants to get rid of a 3p, how do they completely drop the 3P from the awareness or stop giving them attention? Do they stop acknowledging the 3P or do they pretend as though the 3P doesn’t exist?

Reply 1:

1 ) Acknowledge that you are the creator of your reality. You can only drop what you hold. You can only allow what you believe to be possible. State your desires.

2) Rest in knowing, that life itself is now tending to it. Cope with life. Visit friends.

3 ) Find appreciation in where you are and what you do. There will always be a 3d that you want to be changed and there will always be some kind of resistance in life. That is okay. By adding appreciation, or any other kind of awareness that is uplifting ( acceptance), you dilute the strong unwanted. Being okay with where you are is your job.

Put your mind off. Literally. Put it off. Let it rest somewhere in the corner while you take a good shower. Eat a nice meal and hang out with friends. You are not your mind. Practice staying with ease in life. Stop watching news, stop watching the cash in your bank account.

Find playful ways of spending 15 minutes a day in refocusing your energies. This again does not mean you should expect everything to flip at once, nor would that be a fun ride. Watch it gradually unfold. If you feel not good its okay. accept that too. feelings of joy will gradually unfold. it will become more . Here and there, sparks of the focused energy will squirt out in 3d way before the full fledged manifestation. Feel the anticipation.

Now, go back to step 1) and rehearse each step as you go along in life. Watch what happens. Best stick with one Goal though, as you make yourself accountable and its easier to manifest that way. you see success easier.

Reply 2:

Let’s bring things down a dimension. Your vacation home is all yours. You’ve bought it and it exists just across state. However you still need to drive there to enjoy it. Same with manifesting anything. It all exists now, simply offset in the 4th or 5th dimension.

The feelings you have living in the end could be thought of as a compass, or GPS, guiding you to your desired destination.

I’m still learning this stuff too so open to any feedback!
