Neville helped me secure my VISA
4 months ago I stumbled on Neville's work. I was in a very healthy state of mind at the time and so I tuned in very quickly. Every morning as I would get ready for work, or walk the treadmill in gym, I'd put on one of his audiobooks and let my consciousness bathe in it. It unlocked something special in me - a respite from my usual powerlessness in the past. However things turned crazy fast, as I faced with live challenges to apply his work. I secured my admit for higher education after much difficulty and so when I did, I assumed it meant the end of my troubles. However I was faced with an ordeal of securing a visa appointment to make me eligible to go and study abroad. I had two places to apply for visa- one my home country and another where I worked. Despite this, it felt as if both doors were locked. The embassy was closed in one country and there were sparse appointments released in another. I stayed calm, knowing if I practice Neville's teachings, this shall pass. I had no doubt in my bone that something wouldn't work.
However as months rolled by, my usual state kicked in. Absolute panic and cynicism. I started cursing my bad luck and sheer undeserving challenges thrown my way. I gave up everyday and despised the way I had to spend my months before the program would start. I thought all of the teachings were a joke. I was immensely restless. I also had to go through a bad patch of agents and even come back to my home country for the appointment despite my initial visualisation of easily securing a visa in the country I worked. I also dabbled in astrology, and the 3 astrologers all gave different readings.
As a desperate measure I lurked in this sub and reached out to a few redditors. That shifted the game. They were generous with their resources and resources(includimg David Synder and Richard Dotts). This was helpful because as an identity that is still forming it helped to have someone hold me and since the therapists or coaches don't get Neville I needed someone to truly hold space for me. That became my re-entry after my faith boat was toppled in stormy adventures for a while.
I became diligent with my faith journal and SATS. I would write an entry every single day of what the end looks like. And ofc i wrote them in past or present tense. For e.g. today classes seemed fun or I love the nature here etc. Second was SATS - sometime during the day and night. Third was absolute relaxation and dealing with panic as and when it came. I trusted someone who helped with my appt booking fully. I was absolutely confirmed that my 3D was just slow, things were in motion. I attended all pre program college activities. Finished my shopping. And crazily enough a surprise engament party came up for my cousin sister which led to me meeting whole of my extended family in my city (which i was sad that i wouldn't meet given I didnt want to do anything until the appt came up)
Then came another twist, my family suggested I change my location for appointment back to the country I worked and play a gamble even though the embassy was not fully open. I asked the agent to stop looking for me, essentially closing our contract. My luggage was ready for my travel. And suddenly the agent replies the appointment is done.
This was manic. In extremely dire situation when I had asked him to stop, he got it. After securing the appointment, I had panic attacks few weeks before the appt because all my body was throwing was images of Reject! I hated it so much, but then slowly and steadily applied the same learnings of past. I prepared to my best abilities and soon a confident image dwelled up.
An interesting visualisation I had again and again, without any conscious effort was me being on a bridge and the path behind me had greyed out and the path ahead all lit up - as if confirming me that I was ready for my next adventure and there is no going back. I also spoke a lot of times to myself - you are the operant power, you are the one projecting the image don't let the 3D fool you. I also used meditation to get to the space of relaxation to counter the panic. This was actually the bigger learning! I gave a lot of weight to my panic - that just because my body is constantly saying reject, ergo its a premonition of the rejection! WRONG!
Before interview day even though my appetite was less, my body was extremely calm- as if it knew all would be perfect. On my inteview day - I was asked merely four questions and next day the visa was issued.
It felt truly magical. But mostly it trained my faith muscles. I have completed 7 of his books and i intend to listen to it again and again. Neville is an important fabric of my life and I hope each of you get to experience the joy of being the operant power.
Ps: Let's watch out for beginners because had it not been for those redditors who helped me, I would be lost
Pps: A lot of posts get blocked ny mods despite the merit they carry and are pushed to Q/A space where there is least traction and participation, I hope this community gets to be more inclusive by allowing more conversations for beginners.
