Greetings. I have been following this sub’s teachings for months. As with most here I started with the NG sub but once they lost the plot, advocating for LOA techniques that don’t work, among other things, I found this subreddit and vastly preferred it to the NG sub.

Ive read the index, several times at that. I practised SH according to the index and at first I wasnt good at it at all. I couldnt see vividly, I sucked at it and I wasnt putting much effort, but then I sucked it up and put in the work. I kept doing it and I reached a level where I fine-tuned my imagination so much that my scenes became extremely vivid. I can see even the tiniest details in my scenes very easily.

But here’s the problem. No matter how vivid my scene in SH feels, I never get immersed in it. It doesn’t feel real like it’s happening right now, I’m always aware that I’m doing SH and this isn’t real. As a result, I have seen no progress in terms of results. It’s said on this sub that two things are needed for subconscious reprogramming: 1) to be immersed in the scene as if it were a virtual reality that was happening right now, and 2) the natural emotional reaction. The second aspect by itself is fantasizing, you need the first aspect to successfully program your subconscious. That’s what I’m missing. I’ve been practicing and doing it every day for months, I still don’t have this.

At first, I thought the reason I couldn’t get immersed in the scene was a lack of vividness, but now that I’ve worked on the vividness issue I know that that is not the case.

Has anyone here had this problem and fixed it? Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

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.

When using subliminals or law of assumption, you ignore the 3d. Is that simply just not reacting to what it's showing you since that can delay the manifestation, or is it just deciding that it's done and basically acting like the end goal is achieved?? And how I can I manifest under a time crunch, is it better through robotic affirmations or detaching?

I have a question, they always talk about a technique when applying manifest or other laws. Assumption, visualization, etc., what I wonder is; Does it happen because we think and apply these techniques work or do those techniques have their own event? I would be very happy if someone enlightens me💞

I know that there probably are similar stories here but I think I just need to get this out of my system. My mom is probably in the last stage of her life. She is my best friend, my everything and I’m already grieving her even though she’s not even gone yet. I’m in my 30s so I should be more strong but I feel so weak.

My mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2024. She underwent a surgery and it was fine. Until something was found in her liver the same summer. Since it was some special form, the doctor was very skeptical.

She began having chemo. With the first med was basically invisible that anything was wrong. Yes, she had painful skin and blisters but overall, it seemed to go so well. So great that she went into remission and the same doctor said she might even get 100% healthy. I deeply believed in that, manifested, read about law of assumption etc.

Few months later she went into a regular check and it turned out that the tumor is back. Second meds, hair loss, new doctor. I still had my hopes high. This year. She started with the third meds. In Spring, they discovered that the tumor is pushing on her other organ. She had a procedure which didn’t succeed. Then she had an operation. It seemed to be okay but soon a very high fever raised and she was taken to the hospital. The doctors said it’s sepsis and that she’s almost going. I didn’t believe it. Still continued to make plans, cleaned her room.

The first day it was very hard to see her but day by day she seemed to be more like herself. Laughing again, joking. We took her home and although she couldn’t walk on her own, she was still active and we had a few small parties with our family.

Until she was taken to the hospital again. She was in some random ward for a few days after which I took her to oncology department. She walked on her own! She was so positive. I told her that she needs to look after my kid that there’s so much more we have to do. She was so happy to be there. Until they discovered she still has a bacterial infection (from the surgery) and was taken to isolation ward. She has always been very skinny but there she basically stopped eating, turned extremely skinny and was also not treated well. She was there about a week and then we took her home.

The first days back at home her eyes were shining again. We had hope. We had hope that after this is over (she was still taking antibiotics), she’s going to have chemo again and it will all be better. She even ate a bit. She was talking all the time, most probably because she was high from the meds.

After I went back to my home, she stopped eating. She was in pain. We tried calling the oncology department but no one answered. So I went there and asked for some painkillers. The next day the pain doctor called us and prescribed new meds. She also said that she only has a few days left. It’s now been a week. I’ve been with my parents but seeing my mom unable to speak, unable to move, constantly in pain is just too much. It’s very hard to take her to the toilet since she’s all skin and bones.l.

While I denied it for a very long time and honestly felt she’s going to make it, that some kind of miracle will happen, the past 2 days I’ve realized that most probably it’s not. I’m already grieving. I’m also blaming myself for not being with her more, for all the things I’ve said. For the things I’ve not said or not done. I feel like I didn’t give everything to make her well. Like I should’ve put more energy into this. And I can’t imagine my life without her.

I’m not sure if anyone can help me but I honestly feel like there’s not going to be life after this. I know that I have my own family and I should be able to continue living, mom would never want me to be unhappy, but it seems impossible to ever feel joy without her. Im really doubting the law.
