In this video we discuss the specific means and techniques by which imagination creates reality. The basic steps as taught by Neville are as follows:

1) Determine your objective
2) Immobilize your physical body and enter the "state akin to sleep."
3) Create a short scene in imagination that implies the fulfillment of your wish.
4) Give it all of the sensory vividness you can, utilizing one or all of your five imaginal senses, until it takes on the tones of reality.
5) After feeling it to be real, rest in the assumption that it is finished!

Part 2 of this lesson will deal with the art of "persisting in the assumption" that it is finished during the interval of time that it takes for your desire to harden into the reality of your physical world. Stay tuned!

Practice the art of persisting in the assumption of your wish fulfilled. Neville taught it best, so go listen to him and read his books! All of his material is free online and youtube.

In this video I elaborate on some of Neville's techniques for our modern day, specifically what you do after planting your imaginal seed. If you read Neville a lot, you'll notice he gives some of these little insights into his love for music, reading, and meditation. These are vital components for flourishing and actually enjoying the interval of time until the unseen becomes seen!

In this video I discuss three simple exercises you can use to sharpen your imagination and better harness it's power:

1) Ball Exercise - imagine holding familiar objects, start with a baseball. See if you can take 90 seconds to do nothing but focus your attention on holding a baseball. Use all 5 imaginal senses if you can. See the ball, see the red seams, see the off-white leather complete with scuffs and imperfections. Smell the leather. Feel along the seams, squeeze it to feel it's level of hardness. Now switch to a tennis ball for 20 seconds and do the same. Compare the difference between this kind of ball and the baseball. Now take 5 seconds to switch to a golfball and take note of it. Now switch quickly between them all and notice how much more efficiently you can slip into the state of imaginal reality compared to when you began.

2) Rooms Exercise - Do what you did with the ball routine above, but this time instead of objects you're working on spaces. Visit a familiar room in your house, but in imagination only. If you are in the bedroom, then imagine you are walking into your kitchen or living room. Look around imaginaly, sit on the furniture, open the fridge, etc. Pay attention to details and be amazed at how much detail you notice!

3) Playback Exercise - Neville has a great technique where he says to revisit your entire day when you are laying upon your bed at night. Instead of falling right to sleep, playback your entire day starting with the last thing you did at night. See how far you can go to replay your entire day, but in reverse order starting with the last thing you did at night and going all the way back to the first thing you did when you woke. You might only be able to do this for a few seconds before "getting tired." That's OK, keep at it, you were made to operate from an exceptional imagination!

The point of these exercises is to intentionally access and control your imagination instead of letting your imagination run rampant and untamed. This is the means by which you can then begin to imagine more vividly for those things that you want to manifest, accomplish, or achieve for yourself or others. Remember, FEELING IS THE SECRET, so practice using all of your imaginal sense until you develop that unshakeable sense of feeling and KNOWING that it is yours.
