Manifesting & FEELING(or not): From NEVILLE GODDARD to THE LIST METHOD
In this enlightening video, I delve into the profound teachings of Neville Goddard, focusing on the pivotal role of experiential manifestations and the art of imagining with feeling. I share my personal journey of discovery, starting from my initial encounter with the concept of shaping our reality through our minds, inspired by the book "Think And Grow Rich." This journey led me to a deeper understanding of the metaphysical, mystical aspects of manifestation, further influenced by my experiences and teachings from a group I was once part of. I recount a transformative mystical experience that

hi my name is Joseph Alai welcome to my channel and today I want to talk about experiential manifestations Neville goddard's idea of feeling and how to imagine properly this is an important aspect as imagination is the most important facet involved with crafting our reality in a way that we can deliberately desire to in other words mankind humankind has given the power implicitly to craft our reality in a way that we desire we have the power to translate an imaginal act onto the screen of space in a way that is metaphysical that is Mystical in a way that is magical this is not easy to understand and I remember when I was first learning about this when I read a book called Think and Grow Rich when I was 17 or 18 years old and it talked about this idea of crafting our reality with our minds I knew even though they eluded to this being a natural way which did not or it almost implied that it did not have a metaphysical interpretation or idea related to it it also didn't say that it wasn't a m iCal thing so I Knew by this that it was possible and this led me on a path and a journey this is before I understood or was involved in the cult that I was in that taught me how to manifest with the Bible but nevertheless I knew at that point there was a metaphysical mystical way that we can control reality with our mind that led me on a path initially and that was before I had received a very powerful mystical experience that I found out later that Neville Godard calls the promise that was before that and I was still driven down a path to master crafting reality with our minds so that is absolutely possible and I want to talk about this concept but before we begin please hit the like button it does something to the algorithm so that those who wouldn't normally be able

imaginal acts and what to imagine and what Nevil Godard constitutes as feeling so this is some so over the years right I have really delved into and most of my channel initially was based upon the teachings of Neville Goddard and the implementation thereof the reason for this is when I was um in 2011 I would that would have made me around 21 years years old I awoke in the middle of the night this is before I really knew much about manifesting at all this is before I I knew that manifestation was kind of a niche or a field like I didn't know of the term law of attraction at that point I was only I only knew about the term manifesting because of the Bible I was involved in a um it was what people call a cult I didn't know this back then right I was just a young young lad drawn into something that taught me the Bible um this is before I you know ever heard of any terms related the my terminology of manifestation came from 1 Corinthians chapter 12 where they talk about the manifestations of the spirit which is ultimately given to every man to use and to profit with all it says in scripture so it says every person is given the ability to manifest so in most teachings today base everything upon that so the term manifestation comes specifically from 1 Corinthians chapter 12 obviously it was a word that existed in Greek before that but anyway at 21 years old I woke up in the middle of the night the I had a natural compulsion to within my mind say the words in the name of Jesus Christ and upon that there was a thunder the sound of thunder came from within my mind from within my skull from behind right here so there was a sound of thunder and I'm talking about the actual literal sound as if someone took a headphone they drilled a hole into my brain and then made it come from the center of the front of my forehead the sound so it was a loud sound of thunder that shocked um and it vibrated and there was actual the feeling actually the feeling of electricity pulsating from within my brain as a result of that sound of thunder and that all came as a response to the words that I had said within my mind the inner words in the name of Jesus Christ so the reason I was compelled to say that was because for the last 3 days I had the obsessive OCD thought that something big was going to happen in the middle of the night I woke up and out of nowhere I said those words I woke up in the middle of the night at around 3:00 a.m. and I said those words and then boom there was that loud eruption of Thunder within the Forefront of my skull now interestingly enough and I didn't even know this right so years later when I discovered Neville I um realized that there are verses that talk about this many actually it's in Matthew 24:27 it's in Revelation it's it's in another um section of Matthew and it talks about you know the thunder coming from within the skull it talks about Christ is crucified in golgatha which is the place of the skull it talks about the temple being split in two which is the temple is the body where Christ exists there's a lot right the tomb is the skull right so much again at the time I was just told to kind of keep it to myself that um even though that had happened don't tell anyone people would look at me weird and I was in a cult too and interestingly enough that's still what they told me but that led me on a path that made an insatiable desire to figure out what had happened to me and why it had happened to me and there was nothing I could do to figure it out not until a long time had passed right I had such a strong intention I tried to replicate the mystical experience now remember it wasn't like a sense that this was happening it wasn't like a feeling of Thunder no it was a literal feeling of thunder so I mean the sound of thunder and the feeling of lightning striking right so it says in Matthew 24:7 24:27 as the lightning cometh and separates the East from the West so shall the coming of the son of man be that might in any way sound very confusing how does that relate to what happened to me well there is a um I forget this guy's name he's a a reverend he was a Catholic Reverend poly p i l l a i and he he does a book he wrote a book called late through an Eastern window that's what it is man my memory is crazy this is a book I read back in 2011 and it talks about how the um you know the Bible written in Eastern language has a lot of metaphoric metaphorical speech so East in the Bible is a term um that means eternity or lad meaning person and so from lightning as Lightning comes out of the East so out of Eternity and separates it from the West right now again this is paraphrase but there's exact wording East and West are used lightning is used um West is as poly Reverend poly would say okay it means it's a separation separating the East and the West means separating eternity from time space or from eternity or Spirit to Physical Realm so as Lightning comes from eternity to separate it from time space so shall the coming of the son of man be so the son of man is Christ so as it's saying lightning comes that's the same way that the son of man comes lightning comes out of Eternity and so shall the coming of the son of man be that's exactly what happened to me as I said the words Christ in the name of Jesus Christ boom as the tea and Christ finished the exact second I'm not talking about a second after a millisecond after the tea Christ so anyway that drove me right and I think many would find it interesting to know that this happened to me probably I don't know seven years before I even heard the name Neville Goddard years before I heard of you know any type of law of attraction things of this nature this is what drove me and since then I've had many mystical experiences many biblical Visions things of this nature but anyway the reason this is really important is because at that moment from that point of view I knew that something was within me that responded to that to those words name of Jesus Christ and so the only logical explanation would be that Jesus Christ was within my mind now a years later is when I figured out that that meant that Christ was in golgatha I didn't know that Christ I'm sorry I didn't know that golgatha meant the place of the skull and that it was talking literally that Christ was within us I didn't I just didn't know that so but using then the idea that it wasn't just a theory that the Bible was real but knowing that it wasn't exactly as it was intended to be understood in Modern Age that there was something different to be understood by it that was kind of my premise to know that okay scripture has some truth considering there's someone named Christ that's living inside of my skull or at least that responded in a literal way way that helped me to begin to use a premise to understand like okay what am I how can I relate this stuff of manifesting which I know is real I systematically tested prayer I knew it was real how can I go ahead and use this knowledge that I have to begin to systematically master manifestation so I started to systematically test what happened right in in other words the reason I talk about all is to help give you an idea and understanding as to what drove me right and how I even began to look and use the experiments that I did right so I knew that imagine I'm sorry I knew that Christ was within us that was a fact and it says that in scripture too do you not know that you are the Temple of the Living God so in other words Christ is the Living God and if we are the Temple of the Living God that means man is the Temple of the Living God so man is is the Living God in other words so inside man's Consciousness or inside man's skull is the Living God and it says in scripture there are so many different formulas for manifestation and so given that Neville Godard says imagination creates reality and Neville Godard says feeling is the secret I had to figure out and systematically test how I could begin to prove that we are in Ence not I knew that we are the Living God because I knew that Christ was within me but I needed to prove what Neville meant related to feeling as the secret and how to imagine properly so I can systemize it manifest it interestingly enough throughout his journey Neville G changes a lot of the concepts that he teaches if you and this is one of the things that you'll find in people who kind of cherry-pick Neville's teachings a lot of them need to um as they go along they'll become more informed formed as to the differences and nuances of his teachings I take a lot of pride in his work because it's really given me a lot of a lot of um what I know now is able to test through him a lot of the power that I've unlocked in myself comes specifically from what he said is possible now Neville is a man just like anyone else and he has helped unlock so much power within each and every person I know for me like I said when I I've said this in many videos in the past I had systematically tested so many teachers so many teachings dozens of teachers every teaching that each of them had done read every book systematically put it to the test had figured out which was true which wasn't and I've been doing that since 2011 when my mentor in that um cult that I was in had told me to keep track of every single prayer that I had either answered or not so that one day when it was a rainy day I could go back and prove that this was all all real that was priceless information so I can't tell you that every single manifestation that I've had done has been kept track of that would be countless that would be in I mean I'm talking about probably hundreds of thousands that I've noticed but it has given me enough data over the last 12 years or so 13 years to really boil down and meticulously go through and evaluate what works and what doesn't work not only through my own testing and my own own data but now since the premise of my content of my videos are always on testing it do you know how many test data pieces of test data I receive in my email so not only from myself in my journals do I have tens of thousands of pieces of information of data from systematic testing but then at least that and more from the hundreds of thousands of messages emails experiments um that I have received from other people as well well my viewers and subscribers you know through all the different emails and messages comments that I've received there are so many pieces of information pieces of data that verify and prove the validity of the teachings so with that said what have I came to find or what have I come to find via the teachings of Neville Godard related to feeling is the secret so it's often misconstrued what I find with the terminology that um I suppose Law of Attraction uses related to feeling so Law of Attraction often and you'll find this with say Abraham Hicks or references to the secret that they say that feeling itself is the key to manifestation even Dr Joe despenza says this a lot but the truth is is that's only a piece of the truth feeling is only one facet of the imagination that can be utilize to manifest I said this in the previous video but imagination itself consists of a variety of different imaginal senses so taste touch smell hearing seeing and anything that I miss I think that's it each of those can be used imagin and each of those imaginary has the power to create in and of itself also thought meaning words or emotion each of those in and of themsel alone stand alone respectively have the power to impress the subconscious mind itself and create so in other words feeling itself is only one facet of the imagination which in and of itself has the power to create but the thing about feeling is it's not specific in nature each thought this is the where Law of Attraction gets mixed up accidentally with Neville godard's teachings is Law of Attraction states that each desire itself or each thing that you want has a vibrational match with an emotion within you there are charts also that's hilarious kind of charts that specify High vibration low vibration and each one is matched with some sort of money or vacation or something to this degree but this is absolutely not true and can be easily tested the the the experiment that can be done so easily is what I consider I call it the list method it's something that I kind of accidentally came on a while ago Came Upon I stumbled upon it by writing down desires that I had and I figured out by writing them down in the tense of already having them without using any type of emotion or feeling or sense or anything except for the focus upon it they began to manifest and it was miraculous so I developed What's called the list method which gratefully now I've seen it on so many channels that so it really gives me the validity that that confidence that of the fact that it's been used on so many channels now it's been a common kind of name for a technique that it obviously works and I'm sure you've seen it on people's videos even recently on Tik Tok I saw someone collecting testimonials for the list method specifically referring to even my own experiments themselves so that gives me great gratitude in the validity of this as well and I hope that gives you validity to test it and experiment it as well but anyway the reason I specify this and bring this up is because it is the easiest way to prove that feeling does not mean emotion what Neville is saying and he says this in his other lectures as you go along year by year feeling I mean in my humble opinion what I try to teach it as now is sense of knowing so in other words that is when Neville is saying is he's referring to isau and Jacob so in facts overflow the world which is his lecture that um I will comment in the description but facts overflow the world is one of my favorite lectures by Neville Goddard I've listened to it dozens and dozens of times but he refers to what he's talking about related to feeling he's not referring to emotion and it's specific he says it clear and like there's no question as to what he means so for those who are mistakenly they confuse this idea of feeling being emotion Neville is not necessarily meaning emotion in this case he specifically says when he uses feeling he's talking about touch and it says in Esau and Jacob where um his father says come close that I may feel you and he's talking about the hair that's on him so he's talking about touch he's literally talking about touch and in facts overflow the world he specifically says this is how I discovered the the concept of feeling and he's talking about touch being Esau and Jacob so in other words throughout Neville's career he changes concepts of his words he changes the concept or the definition of what they mean sometimes he does not specify it and he just kind of overlooks it he tries not to bring attention upon the misconception in the past and just simply corrects it right which is one way to do it but the problem is is when people take his teachings and they basically say that this is what he means and they don't actually have the entire context of his career of teaching then it can be misconstrued and I end up dealing with the aftermath of people being you know having trauma right there's some people yeah I won't even get into that but there's people who basically you know say this and people have essentially PTSD by thinking wow I'm not feeling this 24/7 there's something wrong I'm doing something wrong I'm not getting my manifestation right so in truth I'm going to give you the list method which is a testing method that I developed around five or six years ago accidentally which can be used and should be used on a regular basis to prove that feeling itself does not necessarily or it's not intended to mean emotion right in this case we're going to completely eradicate the concept of feeling as it relates to being the requirement for manifestation and instead we're going to say that um we'll say that what can we say instead experience is the secret so experience is a secret means that you experience the sensation of reality of experience of perception perceive an event as if it's real experience is the secret so with the list method what you do is each day you write down from the perspective of already having something you write 10 at least 10 Things I recommend doing more writing down random things right there's multiple ways to do this and I'll give you a few variations after I give you the basic so the idea is to write down from the point of view of already receiving it things which would imply you have a desire in this case the desires should not necessarily be the things that you want more than anything else they should specifically be things like um a free cup of coffee right that's the one that was referenced on the video recently that I saw in Tik Tok um or say it was someone called me handsome or um it rained for five minutes or someone sent me a message of a of a video of a red balloon or um a girl with pink hair sent me a message or somebody laughed while they walked past me or five people wearing red were outside in my vision at the same time so you or maybe you can say I found a dollar on the ground or there was a billboard of a $10 bill where the words I don't know Joseph or Alai in whichever way whichever synonym way thesaurus right Ali a l l y a l l i e d whatever is on a on a billboard or on a piece of paper right so you write down a variety of things that would in essence prove an aspect of manifesting for you but you write them down without essentially using emotion you write them down in a way where it's just matter of fact so you write 10 things each morning or whenever you have the time where you'll be able to focus for a minute or two I receive a free cup of coffee someone calls me handsome someone has a dream of me someone has a dream of me skydiving I find a rare coin on the ground so you can write it down in the tenses something all always happens such as this is or always is or I find continuously or you can do it in the tense of already receiving it now what you'll find as a results often and actually 100% of the time is they do not come in any order they're not guaranteed to happen that day and should never be specified so time is not a a faculty of manifestation it's not a facet it's not an aspect and you'll find this by adding deadlines so that being that Consciousness and I talked about this in my prior video talk referring to the idea that your Consciousness replicates the contents of its reality of its awareness if you gave a date if you say something like today or tomorrow or yesterday or something like this when it replicates it doesn't take into consideration an actual date it will happen you'll manifest something in the exact nature of the thing that you've imagined will be specified so if it was I found a coin today it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen today today in the moment you wrote it but when it manifests you will say I found a coin today so it's it's a replication of the statement itself and not the time that's referenced at all and if you say something like tomorrow or give a date say you gave a date and you said February 23rd um 2024 I found a $10 bill what will happen what happens then if it doesn't happen by that time well then it's gone forever because there will never be another February ruary 23rd 2024 so never the thing about manifestation is that it happens the bridge takes place the moment you stop imagining and you focus on something else when you cut your attention from the end result and swap it to something else is the moment the imaginal seed that consists of the end result and all of the required events necessary for its fulfillment they are contained within the seed and that's dropped within the ground that's the key that's the essence that's how it works and so right writing things down from the point of view of already receiving it without using feeling without using emotion without using your senses and you're only writing them down from from your perspective of them already having happened or they're consistently happening writing them down with words using handwritten sentiment this is important because of the slowness and meticulousness that takes place when you use your handwritten gestures you have an inner voice you're reading it you're writing it you're seeing it there's a lot that takes place with this this is an important aspect of it and what you will find is you write down 10 things every day and now you want to utilize the concept of dropping it which means after you write it down you do not open it again not unless seven days have passed so this is what you do each day you write down at least 10 things you don't reflect upon yesterday's things right you don't even read them okay you you do them as you're doing them and then you you close the book and the next day you open the book I use a different book for this generally speaking and then the next day I go ahead and I do the same thing 10 or 15 things now by day seven I can reflect back on day one right on day one and then I can look and see how many things have happened and you want to write down if they happened not necessarily if they didn't because you will not find that they will be in order and they will not have a time frame because each thing has its own appointed hour each DNA has the has it each seed has its own DNA based upon the current state of the world and thoughts therein and the current state of the seed itself the plans it takes for it to be executed masterfully right so you will find that each thing will happen whether it takes a day a week a month a year you will find that it will happen in a way that is independent of your conscious reasoning most of the times you'll find actually that it's those that you forget are the ones that manifest so that is the proof of dropping it right you will find that you don't need emotion or feeling you will find that you don't need anything except for your inner voice to manifest there's so much that you will find as a result of this so with that said feeling is the secret should really be taken as experience is the secret right you want to write it down as if it's true so in essence you're emulating what it would be like if you really were writing down this thing that's true right that's how you want to do it right I'm trying to fix this I'm using a different device to record right now because I don't have access to my recording space so if you see this thing moving around I apologize I'm doing it the best I can so but um anyway point being feeling is not necessary experience is necessary the key takeaway here is you do this for seven days really you should be doing this infinitely day in and day out by the time your 7day hits you have 70 things written you will not be able to remember all the things that you wrote down and you'll start seeing them come in like wildfire rapidly insanely quick insanely fast I don't mean quick as in you write it down one day it manifests the next I mean you will begin to see a shower of manifestations all day long your world becomes a dream this if you do this for a month if you do this for six months if you do this for a year you will have enough evidence to master manifesting to the degree to which you will never question if you're doing it right and this is where you want to be you never want to take my word for it you never want to take anyone's word for it if someone doesn't have systematic proof get it get that proof run into an experiment this is what I did this is what got me to where I am systematic testing so anyway I hope this was helpful for you definitely begin to imagine in the way where it is the experience of the wish fulfilled not the feeling meaning emotion that the emotion itself can be included within it and in fact the more things you imagine I'm sorry the more facets of your imagination that you utilize the more accurate it will be but if you only use feeling it's not accurate enough to get you that thing you need to combine different facets of your imagination to accurately push it into reality and that is what you should be doing that is what you should be utilizing hit the Subscribe button if you want to stay tuned for more laser focus systematic ways to
