Today, in this article I have shared you how Neville Goddard manifested his wife in one week. Neville, himself shared this story in one of his lectures, he talks about ‘manifesting his SP (specific person)’. So let’s get started.
“When I decided to marry the lady who now bears my name I applied this principle. At the time I was terribly involved. I had married at the age of eighteen and became a father at nineteen. We separated that year, but I never sought a divorce; therefore, my separation was not legal in the state of New York.”“Sixteen years later, when I fell in love and wanted to marry my present wife, I decided to sleep as though we were married. While sleeping, physically in my hotel room, I slept imaginatively in an apartment, she in one bed and I in the other.”
“My dancing partner did not want me to marry, so she told my wife that I would be seeking a divorce and to make herself scarce – which she did, taking up residence in another state. But I persisted! Night after night I slept in the assumption that I was happily married to the girl I love. ”
“Within a week I received a call requesting me to be in court the next Tuesday morning at 10:00 A.M., giving me no reason why I should be there, I dismissed the request, thinking it was a hoax played on me by a friend.”
“So the next Tuesday morning at 9:30 A.M.I was unshaved and only casually dressed, when the phone rang and a lady said: “It would be to your advantage, as a public figure, to be in court this morning, as your wife is on trial. “What a shock! I quickly thanked the lady, caught a taxi, and arrived just as the court began.”
“My wife had been caught lifting a few items from a store in New York City, which she had not paid for. Asking to speak on her behalf I said: “She is my wife and the mother of my son. Although we have been separated for sixteen years, as far as I know, she has never done this before and I do not think she will ever do it again. We have a marvellous son. Please do nothing to her to reflect in any way upon our son, who lives with me. If I may say something, she is eight years my senior and may be passing through a certain emotional state which prompted her to do what she did. If you must sentence her, then please suspend it.”
“The judge then said to me, “In all of my years on the bench I have never heard an appeal like this. Your wife tells me you want a divorce, and here you could have tangible evidence for it, yet you plead for her release.” He then sentenced her for six months and suspended the sentence. My wife waited for me at the back of the room and said: “Neville, that was a decent thing to do. Give me the subpoena and I will sign it.” We took a taxi together and I did that which was not legal: I served my own subpoena and she signed it.”
“Now, who was the cause of her misfortune? She lived in another state but came to New York City to do an act for which she was to be caught and tried. So, I say: every being in the world will serve your purpose, so in the end, you will say:
“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
“They will move under compulsion to do your will, just as my wife did.”
“I tell this story only to illustrate a principle. You do not need to ask anyone to aid you in the answer to a prayer, for the simple reason that God is omnipotent and omniscient. He is in you as your own wonderful I Am ness. Everyone on the outside is your servant, your slave, ready and able to do your will.“
“All you need do is know what you want, Construct a scene which would imply the fulfilment of your desire. Enter the scene and remain there. If your imaginal counsellor (your feeling of fulfilment) agrees with that which is used to illustrate your fulfilled desire, your fantasy will become a fact. If it does not, start all over again by creating a new scene and enter it.”
“In my own case the scene was a bedroom of an apartment, with my wife in one bed and I in the other, denoting that I was no longer living in a hotel alone. I fell asleep in that state, and within one week I had the necessary papers to start action on a divorce.“
Neville Goddard
“Living in the End” Part
In this story Neville tells he could not marry his specific person (SP) as he was already married. And his wife refused to give him a divorce.
In this case, what many people would do is take action physically to solve the problem; they would focus on getting the divorce.
But Neville focuses on the end result rather than the process. And this was the “Neville manifestation technique“.
So, in this case, what Neville did was, instead of focusing on the divorce, he went straight to the end result of being married to his SP.
So, Neville created an imaginal scene in his mind – every night when he went to bed, he simply lay on his bed and closed his eyes and started playing the imaginal movie where he saw in his imagination – he was not alone in the room; he was sleeping with his SP as though they were married. He was sleeping on one bed, and his SP/future wife was sleeping on the other bed.
He practiced that imagination act every night before sleeping.
He did not concern himself with the ‘how’. How this marriage would take place or how his first wife would give him a divorce. He ignored all of these middle processes, and he went straight to the end result. The ‘end result’ of being married to his SP.
He focuses on the ‘end result’; he lived in the ‘end result’, and he persisted the ‘end result’. He let all other things take care of themselves.
The “forgiveness” part
As we could see, Neville’s first wife deliberately refused to give him a divorce, and his dancing partner was also working against this divorce. She told his first wife to disappear so that Neville could not find her for the divorce. Means ‘3D’ was completely against Neville’ desire.
Neville did not concern himself with any of that. He ignored the 3D and persisted in imagination as if he was already married to his SP.
Within a week things happened; the universe brought them (Neville and his first wife) together. Neville forgave her for all the trouble she caused him. Not only that, but he also did not force her into giving him the divorce. And then all of a sudden, his wife became a new and very kind person who is grateful and ready to give him a divorce.
Neville many times shared in his book that, “you should always think loving thoughts for yourself and for others also”. That’s what he did. He did not think unloving thoughts for his wife. He did not try to take any kind of revenge; if he wanted, he could take it to court. But he did not do that.
Neville proved that, if you persist in living in the end, then things take care of themselves in ways you never could have imagined.
“Application” Part
Whenever you have a desire, no matter how big it is, go straight to the ‘end result’. Live in the end result – in your imagination. Don’t worry about how it will happen; ignore the 3D, ignore all your senses that deny your desire. Just persist the ‘end result’ without any doubt, and see how things happen by themselves.
Happy manifestation!
