“Every event in the world contains the capacity for symbolic significance. Everything there is dead, simply bearing witness to the imaginal acts of men.” - Neville Goddard

Truth always prevails. The sky is always blue. Marriage always last. Romantic comedies always end happy.

We have ideas. We have words. Then we string these words in relationship to each other. We make rules about these relationships. Those relationships between the words, become our perceptive lens. We only see an experience life based upon our expectations of ideas.

Neuroscience says the more that we repeat these, the more that we get rewarded for them. The more that we were rewarded for them, the more that we create an identity around them. Remember, manifestation is about identity sovereignty.

So when Nevill talks about symbolic signification above, he’s reminding us of causation. He is making the argument that we are always creating ideas and meaning between words. We’re always making sense of reality based upon our relationships between ideas. Most of the time, those have been given to us by our parents and sometimes even our recent past experiences.

So then why do we condition? This is super important. Especially if you’re trying to get to understand why Nevill talks about the assumption creating reality.

Any assumption is a form of condition. Whether it’s a good one or a bad one. It is also important to remember. We are always conditioning our experience. Whether it’s good or bad. In fact the good or the bat is really determined by us and no one else. That’s eating from the tree of good or evil. No one else does that for you.

But back to neuroscience to fully grasp why we do this. Your brain categorizes based on past experiences. Or, past memories. Or past beliefs. The majority of those don’t come from you. They come from your childhood conditioning. Or repeated past experiences.

It’s like the woman of a man, who asks the reflective question: why do I keep marrying the same person over and over? Not really realizing it’s them. They are the common denominator. We condition out of safety.

We condition because the brain is looking for what it already knows it thinks it’s true. But it only thinks it knows what is true based upon what it’s experienced before. So, Neville‘s technique of revision is extremely powerful here. Because it doesn’t allow the old memory to continue. And you? Your identity? Yeah that’s just a bundle of repeated memories that you keep rewarding yourself for whether you want to or not. Because the more you repeat, the more you become addicted to that identity that keeps reinforcing whatever it is that you keep repeating.

It’s like we’ve trained ourselves to become addicted to the memories that we don’t want to keep having. Why is all this important to recognize?

Because we don’t experience objects or things. We believe what we condition ourselves to accept us true about them. Please read that again.

An easier way to say that, is that we experience the conditions that we put upon people, places, things and even memories. So when you say that you’re poor, you are conditioning yourself, others, and even currency is something that you don’t have a lot of. The paper itself has no power. It is the belief in the paper that makes it currency.

Health itself is not painful. It doesn’t wake up in the morning and say I feel pain. That is you or someone else conditioning it. This is not to sound so logical to lack compassion for those who are experiencing pain. It is to fully understand that sovereignty is within our own grasp and no one else’s.

How you condition something will tell you how sovereign you actually believe you are.

So if you consistently are filtering your experience through lack, separation, anger, and judgment, that is the only thing that you’ll experience about those people, places, and or things.

There is a lot more here that can be said. But, feel free to share your own experience of how you have learned how conditioning has shaped your experience, whether a good or bad? I think that could be helpful for all of us.

So, here is a psychological technique you can take with you. It’s from the field of NLP. It simply referred to as anchoring.

This is a revised form of anchoring. Take one of your desires, and accurate to a physical gesture. It can be you constantly tapping the upper right part of your chest every single time you feel abundant. And if you do this over seven days. 2 to 3 times a day, you are now anchoring this new feeling in place. So if you ever have doubt, you then begin biologically remembering that you are the abundant person by simply tapping that without ever even having to think about it.

This is just one simple way that you partner with your body to reclaim your sovereignty. You’ve already had the sovereignty. You just need to remember it’s been there all along.
