there's a reason why it is called the “I AM” state. the void is you in your purest form, you being nothing but pure awareness. it lives within you, not separate from you. it's not somewhere you have to get to, there's nowhere to get to because you are it.

a lot of people (me included, this post serves as motivation for myself too) find it hard to access it because they think of the void as something otherworldly; they put it on a pedestal after coming across success story after success story of users who are now living their best lives thanks to the void. but that's the thing, it's not “thanks to the void,” it's thanks to themselves! they did that, they gave themselves their wonderful lives, it was all thanks to their power, not the void’s. the void by itself holds no power, you're the one that imbues it with it, because you are it! you are the void, you are pure awareness.

what people experience when they “get to” the void is just themselves, their own selves, free from any 3D limitations, free from their bodies, free from their senses (hence why the symptoms include not hearing, seeing or feeling anything). the void is just your consciousness in its most pure and abstract form.

and since the void is nothing but you, why should it be hard to “get there”?

it shouldn't! we keep thinking of it as something other than ourselves and keep overcomplicating it and that's why we struggle so much. we make it hard, for no reason. it should be as easy as doing anything else, as moving your finger to scroll on your dashboard, as looking to either side of the road before crossing the street, because you control your finger and you control your neck and you control your eyes, and you control the void, not the other way around. because, again, the void is within you!! is right there, you just have to decide to experience it (see that i said “experience” and not “enter” or “get there”) and trust that you will because you said so.

don't think of it as something you have to catch as if it were running from you. it shouldn't be something you have to work hard for, it shouldn't take long, it shouldn't be hard or stressful. you don't need to lay down on your back and control your breathing and not move at all and be scared of losing focus and avoid scratching your nose or swallowing saliva. see how silly that sounds? because it is! if you're trying to experience something that you know lives within yourself the same way your heart rests on your chest, then you shouldn't be losing your mind over it, because you know it is there, you know it is you!

i hope this post helps you understand the true nature of the void. if we know we are it, we are the operant power, we are god and whatever we say goes, then we shouldn't have any problem with experiencing the void.

you have to love what you desire.

you might think that sounds kind of dumb, of course you'd love your desire! but what i mean is that you have to visualise what you actually want. manifesting is supposed to be fun and not feel like a chore. if you're laying down at night and think “i don't really feel like visualising that tonight,” that's because you're not making yourself feel what you actually want.

sit with yourself for a moment and find out what it is that you really desire. once it is completely clear, come up with a scene that implies that you already have your desire. you will notice that you feel so excited, so happy when you visualise it, and once you feel that love you will realise “this is what they mean when they talk of fulfillment”.

you have to love what you're making yourself feel. and by that love you change your state to the wish fulfilled. this is the key, this is the secret. no one to change but self. give it to yourself in imagination and do it in such a lovely way that the feeling of fulfillment will end up being all-encompassing, which in turn will make you want to dwell on it and the outer world will have no chance but to conform to the love you're feeling.

“awakened imagination” by neville goddard · a summary

this post is the first of a forthcoming set in which i summarise and simplify neville goddard’s book “awakened imagination”. you can read the original here, and you can check other summaries here. please note this book is heavily reliant on his religion and, as much as i will try to make it as non-religious and simple as possible, there are still passages and comparisons that i can't take out without hindering neville words’ meaning. take these posts as if i were taking notes for future reference during class.

❁ chapter I : who is your imagination?

“imagination” is the kind of word that has been used for so long it has gathered plenty of different meanings, which often oppose each other: thought, hallucination, suspicion... neville identifies “imagination” with the power that makes achievement of our goals inevitable. there is only one thing in the world: imagination, and all our deformations of it. imagination is the very gateway to reality.

according to blake, man is only a natural organ subject to sense; the eternal body of man is imagination: god itself, the divine body. by imagination we have the power to be anything we desire to be; only as we live by imagination can we truly be said to live at all.

with this book, neville wants you to function imaginatively, to open your “immortal eyes inwards into the worlds of thought”, where you have all of your heart's desires ripe and ready to harvest. imagination is the hidden mystery from the ages, the hope of glory.

“every man is mary and birth to christ must give”.

imagination's birth and growth is the gradual transition from a god of tradition to a god of experience. if the birth of imagination in you seems slow it is because you are unwilling to let go of that comfortable, but false, grasp to tradition.

man is the garden in which christ —imagination— sleeps. man is awakened by his imagination getting lifted up to heaven and being made god-like. in the moment of awakening, he meets the test of sonship, of his imagination being christ: the forgiveness of sin (“sin” meaning failing to achieve one's aim in life, falling short of one's ideal; “forgiveness” meaning identification of man with his aim/ideal in life). this tests man's ability to inhabit the nature of his opposite (go from the state of the undesirable self to the state of the desirable self), to perform the work of an awakened imagination.

is imagination power sufficient to, not only enable us to assume, but to execute the idea too?

suppose i desire to be in some other place, but i lack the social and financial resources to do so; could i, just by imagining myself in such place, cause the physical realization? would only my imagination be sufficient to incarnate my desire? does imagination understand what is deducted from the senses? does it recognise the outer world?

suppose i am capable of sustaining the feeling of the wish fulfilled, of acting with continuous imagination; will my assumption harden into fact? and if it does, will i find that my actions throughout this period have been reasonable? after assuming that i already am that which i desire, must i constantly guide myself by “reasonable” ideas and actions so as to cause the fulfillment of my assumption?

the answer to all these questions is that an assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact; continuous imagination is sufficient for all things, all of our “reasonable” plans and actions won't ever make up for our lack of continuous imagination.

“imagine that you are and you shall be”.

truth depends upon the intensity of imagination, not upon external facts. you become what you imagine. you have a self-determined history. imagination is the truth, the life revealed.

but the thing is, we cannot get hold of truth with the logical mind (stop thinking and worrying about the how! logic does not come into play here, let it go, you don't need it), it cannot be enclosed by facts: as we awaken to the imaginative life, we discover that imagining a thing is to create it, that true judgement doesn't need to conform to the outer world to which it relates (this means, the truth doesn't always look the same as the 3D does at that moment).

the imaginative man does not deny the reality of the sensuous outer world (3D), but knows that the inner world of continuous imagination (4D) is the force by which the outer world comes to pass. he sees the 3D and all its situations as projections of the 4D. to him, everything is a manifestation of the mental activity present in his imagination, without the outer, reasonable man being aware of it. he knows that everyone must become aware of their inner activity, and the relationship between the inner and outer worlds.

the moment you discover that your imagination is god-like, you accomplish acts that can only be described as miraculous. but until you realise that everything you come across is part of yourself, you won't accept that you are the one that has chosen the conditions of your life, that they are in affinity to your mental activity. you must firmly believe that reality lies within you, not without; although others have bodies and lives of their own, their reality is rooted in you and ends in you.

it is a marvelous thing to discover that you can imagine yourself into the state of your wish fulfilled and escape the prison of ignorance. embrace this new knowledge and let go of your past beliefs for they're untrue. live in continuous imagination and make your desires come to pass.

affirmations enchiridion · volume I : self concept.

𐙚 enchiridion: a handbook; manual.ㅤ𐙚 affirmation: the assertion that something exists or is true.ㅤ✸ these posts will serve as a source of reference for anyone looking for reassurance and/or affirmations to use for their manifestations.

· i am the one in everything:

i am god. i am the sole creator of this reality. i am the operant power. i am an infinite being. i am a master manifestor. everything that surrounds me is my creation. all existing things owe their presence to me. i am the stem of the flower, i am the roots of the tree. i am the one in everything. I AM.

why would it be hard for a god to get what they want? i am all-powerful. i am omnipotent. i can create anything, i can bring anything to life. i can have anything i want. my mind is limitless, my imagination is the source of all existence. i place all of my faith upon myself for i am the onliest god.

i am not the three-dimensional body i am now occupying, i am my mind. i am not this empty shell. i am greater than what its senses perceive. i am awareness and i am aware of what is true and what is false. my consciousness is the only truth. everything outside of it is of my conception and therefore mutable.

· i am free to feel:

i am worthy of my desires, i deserve whichever it is i want. i have no reason to feel guilt or hopelessness when it comes to my manifestations. no matter how hard life can get, it does not come in the way of my desires. i am free to feel whatever emotions arise from the outer world and its situations, i am a god but i am a human too, and i know that gloomy feelings, whichever their nature may be, have no effect over my desires. i am gentle with myself and i let myself feel whatever it is i need to feel when things get hard and the world seems like too much, because i know it won't last forever and i have the power to make it all better when i am ready to do so.

· i am all-powerful:

once i become aware of a desire and assume its end result is now mine, the desire comes to fruition. there is nothing left to want, there is nothing to wait for or hope for or expect. my desires are not separate from me, they do not exist in a realm separate from the one i inhabit because there is nothing and nowhere but my self. my desires are god-given for i am god and i gave them to me myself. my desire is alive in my consciousness and since my consciousness is the only reality, my desire is real and already in my possession. what i have in my mind is what i truly have.

there is no time delay to my manifestations because time does not exist unless i want it to. there is no resistance to my manifestations because nothing can oppose my power. there is nothing that i cannot have. there is nothing that is impossible.

all i have to do is affirm and persist in it because, how could it not come to pass? how could i possibly fail? how could a god ever face defeat? that is the only impossible thing: failure.

if you're into angel numbers, or if you just like patterns and repeated digits, then maybe you could put this giddy feeling and this day to use and mark it as the conception of your new life. seize this opportunity and manifest all those things you yearn for, the face, the appearance, the friends, the significant other, the house, the car...

personally, i find this date very motivating. the number 1111 is believed to carry a message of new beginnings, wishes being granted, being on the right path, trusting your intuition... and, let's be honest, it's a pretty number, too.

i know a lot of people in the law of assumption community don't like such “esoteric” beliefs (like astrology, for example), but if a little number, a pretty date, can be the definite motivator for some to finally stop procrastinating and start living the life they deserve, then why wait, why let this “opportunity” pass? we understand we are the gods of our realities, we know there's nothing but us and no mysterious external entity is sending us secret messages, but motivation and determination can come from curious sources. sometimes it is nice, and fun, to step away from the god mentality and just live life as everyone else, believe for a few minutes that we're being guided by greater beings that have our best interests at heart. and, sometimes, i like to believe this to be true, that i am being guided by a greater being, but not one external to me, but my self, me, guiding this 3D creature that i sometimes believe myself to be.

maybe this post is digressing a little (a lot) from the law’s principles, but if i'm being honest, i just love angel numbers and we only get a day like this once a year, so it feels kind of grand. and i also love assigning meaning to meaningless things.
