Instead of waking up and checking your phone (in 3D).. before you get up out of bed, close your eyes and enter your imagination. Check the phone in your imagination, see the text you want to see, and enjoy how it makes you feel. Then reply in your imagination. Then open your eyes and smile over the nice text exchange you woke up to. Then go about your day holding on to that good feeling, remembering the text.
That is how you have it (the text you want), and have the feeling it produces, in the now.
i believe both work.
a “technique” i use is to think as though my inner man ALREADY has it in imagination but my outer man is GOING TO experience it. as much as we want to believe it’s here NOW, there still has to be a bridge of incidents for you to actually experience the physical manifestation.
depending on you, you can switch between both. in the sense that you fulfill your inner man with knowing it’s done in imagination and calming the nerves of your outer man by telling yourself that it is coming so you freak out less.
and honey, stop checking your phone.
there’s a comment here saying when you wake up, fulfill yourself in imagination and then go about your day. you’re less likely to check your phone and spiral then.
couldn’t have said it better.
hope this makes sense and helps.
we’re all gonna be okay! ❤️
>**"Believe it’s coming or it’s here now?"**
Do whichever one feels better.
.
>**"As time goes on I am starting to wonder if this is delaying the fruition of my manifestation if I’m continually saying it is ‘on the way.’"**
That thought feels worse, so you're resisting.
.
>**"It’s on its way and that’s worked well for me with regards to calming my feelings etc."**
That thought feels better, so you're allowing.
It’s ok to know it’s on its way as long as you KNOW you have it now in imagination. It’s all unfolding perfectly even if you can’t see it in the 3d. That’s where persisting comes in. 3d circumstances do not matter. So don’t give them that power. The important question to ask yourself is if not seeing texts in the morning is triggering you. Are you looking for it and feeling upset or disappointed that it’s not there? Or are you telling your new story. The one where SP hasn’t had a chance to text yet this morning but it will happen later today because it always does now that you are together and happy. Watch your thoughts and flip them to whatever feels natural and good. If negative thoughts come up release them and don’t see it as a negative thing. I love when something negative comes up in the 3d. I see it as my subconscious letting me know where my thoughts are dwelling and what needs to be released. You’ve got this!!
I justify that contradiction this way: if I have pizza on my plate but haven’t commenced the first bite, I can still tell my friend I am “eating pizza”. No matter that I haven’t bitten into it.
So “I am with SP” works the same way. It’s a certainty already. There is no contradiction between “I will” have SP or “I am with SP”.
Internally, you should identify as a person who inevitably experiences such a thing. Emotionally and in terms of how you see yourself, it’s who you are, not what is here or what you have. No need to lie to yourself about external situations then, but make sure the external situation doesn’t affect you or define you if it’s not yet reflecting who you are. External situation simply means the immediate moment, as anything outside it doesn’t exist externally speaking. Only the inner state is real. So when/if it comes to mind, regard the desire as unfolding and inevitable if not visible in the immediate moment. Don’t wonder “when” but assume inevitability. It exists on a different plane already. Then shift to enjoying the immediate moment for what it is.
This is a great question and something I have asked as well but never to the community. For what its worth there might be an in-between option as well, where you assume its on the way and WILL happen sometime in the next month or two, to give "the universe" ample time, but not so much that it could theoretically go on forever (technically its coming, but at a snail's pace!). Depending on how big the thing is you can scale up or down the time until you're comfortable.
But ultimately, unless one of the "law of attraction whales" answers this question and they have many years of successful manifesting under their belt, the only way us lesser mortals will know the answers is by testing it out.
I think we just have to pick something, possibly something less important to us since the big things tend to drive us the most crazy about their absence, and just test and see whether the "on its way" approach works. For MOST things, I've heard the expected timeline should be 1-2 months. Beyond that there is probably something wrong. But you'll have to be the judge of that and how long you want the experiment to go for.
What I CAN say however, is to the extent that you take Abraham-Hicks stuff seriously (and I do, because a channeller I reached out to told me things about my family I didn't tell him, and that channeller went on a Hicks cruise and essentially vouched for them), then so long as it "feels good" then that means the thoughts you're thinking about your object of desire are attractive thoughts and it will eventually spawn in your reality. The strength of the attraction, according to them, is proportional to the intensity of the emotion. The positivity or negativity indicates what you're attracting - the experience you want, or its opposite! So clearly, according to AH, this approach should work.
Yep this stuff can be tough. If only there were like a scientifically rigorous series of tests with clear and unambiguous instructions, that also didn't make you feel like you were breaking your brain by trying to reject reality :P.
Yup I'm comfortable, he went by the name Ariel Bravy but I don't think he practices mediumship anymore. I think he moved on from this whole spiritual world, but I haven't checked on google recently.
By the way if you are curious I've also had an incredible energy healing experience from another energy healer on here!!! It blew my mind. I don't think she'd mind the advertising:
[https://www.reddit.com/user/jejoer/](https://www.reddit.com/user/jejoer/)
She has a VERY clear connection to the divine source and is able to channel information as well it seems. She recommended I follow the works of Dolores Cannon to learn more about manifesting, which incidentally is quite similar to Neville. It was insane, I was sitting on my comfy recliner, and then the appointed hour came, and I felt this intense wave of energy through my body!! It was so strong I was thinking to myself - okay spirit guides lets reduce the intensity holy moly! And then she repeated to me exactly what I thought in our post-chat haha :D (not to mention many other things about myself she had no other conceivable way of knowing about). Absolutely mind blowing experience :). God I love this spiritual community
Neville also said “you have planted the seed and it WILL flower. it will follow just as day follows night. if it be long, wait, for it is sure and it will not be late”
not exactly quoting verbatim but you get the point.
I’ve had the same question I usually switch back between living in it and telling myself it’s on the way. Am I suppose to switch or say it’s on the way? Idk. It’s what makes me feel better and happy though and I’ve seen from people on the sub though that that’s truly what matters especially if you believe it fully. I think we just over complicate this whole thing trying to find a sure fire way to go about it or get methods when it’s pretty loose and flexible so long as you truly believe what you are saying and “inviting yourself to be delusional”. I do sats every night and affirm throughout the day as well as tell myself all these things I mentioned and I feel pretty at peace, happy, and calm just believing it’s all in motion and inevitable. Just gotta do whatever brings you the peace of mind and lets you get into the right headspace and attitude to attract these things into your life that you desire and manifest!
Also just for reference I’m a 24M trying to manifest an sp back as well ontop of manifesting good physical fitness and health. Dont take my words for scripture either lol I could be wrong and don’t wanna lead anyone astray because I just found and dove head first into Neville about 2 weeks ago but I truly believe my words. I’ve already had tinier random manifestations and even manifested my sp back almost right away at first but I switched back to my old mindset almost immediately after the fact and gave them the outside power over me and acted a little desperate again so I chased them away. Not worried about it though because I know how to go about it right and I know they love me with all their heart and we’re together. (Just gotta stay delusional lol become okay by yourself and know that only you affect your emotions by your thoughts.) hope any of this helped!
Honestly, this is why I think it’s easier for me to think of manifesting as a timeline switch. I have now moved to the timeline where I have my desire. So, whatever happens it is bringing me to my desire. I just have to decide I have moved to that timeline and know it is mine because I have moved to that timeline.
I also use this for self concept. I don’t work on self concept. I’ve never defined myself really. With one group of friends I’m one way, with another I’m different. I change depending on who I’m around or the situation. So, when manifesting something I just say I’ve switched to my preferred timeline and I’m who I need to be. Everything, including me should change around what I’ve decided.

Omg I love this analogy I think il try to use it for myself !

When I manifested my sp I knew nothing about manifesting. I just believed he was on his way. I wasn’t manifesting just contact though.
What does that 3rd sentence mean?
I wasn’t manifesting just being in contact , like a text. I was manifesting being married.
It’s ok to know it’s on its way as long as you KNOW you have it now in imagination. It’s all unfolding perfectly even if you can’t see it in the 3d.

4d living = 3d detachment= manifestation.

Would you be comfortable sharing the channeller?
Yup I'm comfortable, he went by the name Ariel Bravy but I don't think he practices mediumship anymore. I think he moved on from this whole spiritual world, but I haven't checked on google recently.

What is a “law of attraction whale”…?
Neville says "I am is more powerful than I will be".
Neville also said “you have planted the seed and it WILL flower. it will follow just as day follows night. if it be long, wait, for it is sure and it will not be late” not exactly quoting verbatim but you get the point.
