I’ve been into the teachings of Neville Goddard and the whole premise of reality “creation” for some time now. I am someone who aspires for very big things life. I have very big goals for myself in terms of life experiences, career wise, absolute financial freedom and many other things. Many of the things I want for my life might seem too out there for a lot of people. But hey, if this is what I want and if the law makes it possible for me, then who am I to get stuck on what the world deems as possible or impossible, right?

I see many people on here and other manifestation subreddits focusing on things like a person, a different job, an apartment, and other things that fit in the norm of societal expectations and realistic goals. (I will not get into the health aspect because health is absolutely important and everyone deserves to wish for and live a life in perfect health). How many of us have heard “stay grounded in reality and don’t think you’re the exception”?

Now, I am absolutely not judging other people’s desires. On the contrary, I think it’s really cool that in this game of life there is so much variety. And I’m very happy to see people getting over the hurdles and difficulties of their circumstances. However my question is, how many people on here put limits on themselves for what their lives could be? What is stopping you from dreaming outside the box and be unhinged and bold enough to go after what you would have never thought was possible before you came across this knowledge? Is it because you genuinely don’t desire to go THAT wild, or are you deep down still afraid that it isn’t possible for you?

Mods, I hope you don’t take this down because I think this is a very interesting topic to discuss about. I invite you to not delete this as I’m curious of what other people think of this. I’m not sure if this has been asked before.

Many people stumbled upon the whole “we create our own reality” through different approaches to this law, like LOA, the subconscious mind, etc. I think the whole premise of conscious creation really skyrocketed when spirituality and the new age movement became more known, and eventually other authors were “discovered” by the general public such as Neville Goddard and others.

My question is, where was this knowledge before and why was it buried so much so that people think this is some woo woo magic stuff? Of course there is so much skepticism because of our conditioning, but why were we conditioned into thinking that we are at the mercy of the outside world in the first place? Why is it such common sense to live life blindly in the world of Ceasar and be victims of the outside world? Why were we conditioned into giving up our power? Why is it a “secret”? At what point did people lose touch with their own power, and why?
