LoA

Neville's Ladder Experiment


Note: If climbing a ladder is a common occurrence in your daily life, you can replace the ladder with something unusual but also something you don't care about (ex. finding a pink tennis ball). Instructions will use a ladder as the object of the experiment.

1. Choose a comfortable position to fall asleep
2. As you fall asleep, visualize climbing the ladder. Imagine taking the first step, reaching with your hand then the other, shifting your weight as you go higher and higher. How do the rungs of the ladder feel on your hands? On your feet? Make this visualization as real as possible, like you are actually climbing the ladder at that very moment. When you reach the top of the ladder, climb down again and repeat until you fall asleep. Do this for 3 nights. When you wake up and throughout the day, do not think about climbing a ladder, go out your way to find a ladder, or look for one. Only think about the ladder during the visualization exercise before you fall asleep.
3. During the day, write multiple notes saying "I WILL NOT CLIMB A LADDER" and place these notes somewhere you will see them (bathroom mirror, computer screen, phone screen, etc.). Each time you see the note, acknowledge that you will not climb a ladder. Do this during the day for 3 days.
4. The experiment is a success once you climb a ladder.

Does Law of Attraction Imply I'm To Blame For The Bad Things That Happen to Me?


A common pitfall for newcomers to Law of Attraction (LOA) is to conflate the idea that you create your own reality with the idea that you are to blame for your misfortune. People will often summarily dismiss LOA on these grounds, deeming it "victim-blaming" or "heartless." I'd like to provide a broader perspective of LOA that eradicates any presumptions of blame.

Life is a set of different arrangements. In the human game, these are arrangements of the mind. A poor person is no worse than a rich person. A victim is no worse than one who is unscathed by life. They are simply different arrangements. To presume that one arrangement is better or worse than another is where "blame" arises, and that's an extremely misled mindset. In fact, the assignment of "wrong" and "blame" only serves to attract more wrongness and blame-ness, whether internalized ("I'm wrong," "I'm to blame") or externalized ("They're wrong," "they're to blame"). The universe gives you more of what you believe.
People attract everything that happens to them whether they were "asking for it" or "asking for not-it," because the contents of your experience reflect what your emotional focus is predominantly placed upon. If you say "I love this," you'll get more of it. If you say "I hate this," you'll get more of it. If you're indifferent, it will subside, and if your feelings are split (like if you want something but doubt that it's possible), the dominant feeling wins out. This is essential to understand.
Most people are unaware that they're doing it and unaware that they can play any role they choose, but they're attracting nonetheless. This doesn't make them bad, wrong or deficient. Not at all. It's just how they're currently arranged.
What I'm describing is a law governing the patterns of reality, which anyone with notions of "blame" tries to twist into a system of moral judgment. But there is no moral judgment going on here. Look at nature. If a baby gazelle is ripped apart and devoured by a crocodile, would you call this "injustice" or a "tragedy"? Perhaps. If I were to tell you "that's just the way things go," because a gazelle is a gazelle and a crocodile is a crocodile, would you accuse me of "blaming" the baby gazelle? Would the gazelle blame itself? That's silly. The gazelle is an arrangement too, though confined to the natural workings of its biology and shared ecosystem. It does not choose its arrangement as humans can, and humans share an ecosystem of their own.
Now here's a human example: a person may have been abused as a child, and that becomes a major assumption of how their world operates. They will then attract abusive relationship after abusive relationship all throughout their adult life. There is no need to "blame" them for this, yet this is an obvious pattern that you see often, and that's LOA. It is quite straightforward and impersonal, like gravity, until someone comes along and says "it's just not nice, therefore it must not be true."
A person who feels victimized will attract circumstances that reflect their victimhood. Women who have been raped, for example, did indeed attract the rape, but it's not their "fault." They're certainly not "wrong" or "to blame" for being raped and absolutely, fully deserve all the love, support and nourishment in the world. They still, however, "invited" it into their experience by the arrangement of their mind. It simply doesn't matter if this idea disturbs you. Learn to separate "you are to blame" from "you attracted it."
It may still seem very obvious that if a person experiences something traumatic, especially in their childhood, then that trauma ought to be blamed for shaping the person. It may seem obvious that even if LOA were true, that thoughts and emotions create reality, then the things we attract are still dictated by the experiences that made us who we are. But this all depends *only* on what the individual makes of those experiences. It's only as damaging as you believe and allow it to be. It only controls you insofar as you agree to be controlled by it. You could have had a life of pain and trauma, yet it's up to you whether or not this makes you a "victim." It's only "you" insofar as you identify with it. This is not a cold, non-compassionate dismissal of anyone's painful experience. It is an insistence of your own absolute power, control, self-actualization, and wholeness, something that any so-called "victim" can benefit from immensely.
Children attract abuse, but it's not their "fault" either. It is completely fair to say that children are especially susceptible to the vicious whims of the world. When they're born, their subconscious is basically wide open and receptive to any impression you give it. That's what lays the foundations of their personality, major assumptions, behaviors, orientations, etc. and so all of these things make up the repeating patterns of their life experience. While these foundational qualities are certainly mutable, a child is quickly discouraged from their capability to choose by a constant barrage of ideas from adults about trade-offs, scarcity, limitation, impossibility, delayed gratification, duty, morality, etiquette, and narratives of pain and powerlessness. They are taught to outsource their experience to the demands of culture or God, and so their life becomes that. It's no wonder that when a child is victimized, a victim is all they think they are and will be. They accept the role as they do any other role assigned to them by their culture.
Let me make something clear. It is perfectly natural, appropriate and healthy to express your pain, rage, sorrow and disapproval at the horrible things you've endured. Not only does this provide emotional release, but it affirms your natural, inborn knowing that you are worthy of good things. But at some point, if you want to be happy, you have to discard the narrative. The past is the past, and you're here *now* with an infinite landscape of possibilities before you that you otherwise could not see if you were to continue to wallow in old, negative concepts of self. You are the Self, the formless consciousness, underlying your every experience, not confined to any one of them. And in your knowing this, all experiences are available to you.
Taking 100% *blameless* responsibility for your life can be, if viewed properly, the most uplifting, empowering, de-victimizing thing a person can do. It is a responsibility to feeling good, a responsibility to feeling love, joy, worthiness, happiness. It is a responsibility that affords you the *power* to say "I did that," whatever "that" may be - good or bad. It is not about "owning up" to your "mistakes" or holding others responsible for theirs, because there is no mistake in this game. Impossible as it may seem to accept, this understanding is actually the key to anyone's power; the key to never being a victim again.
The silver lining to this is that if you acknowledge the potential to create a "feedback loop" of misery, you can acknowledge the potential to do the same for joy, for love, for prosperity. If you've gone through intense suffering, know that there is absolutely nothing keeping you from going through happiness of the same caliber. Your life can be just as wonderful, and more so. You have the very special privilege of choosing. This is Law of Attraction.

Should I hire a coach?


"Coaches are frauds. If you are master-level at manifesting (which you should be to teach others), then you should already be manifesting all the money you need/want and not need to take it from your students who are most likely in a desperation/emotionally vulnerable situation enough to need a coach in the first place. A lot of these coaches charge outrageous prices well, hundreds of dollars per hour just to email or call them.

Most of these coaches seem to be able to understand the law theoretically, but fail to apply it to their actual lives. Do you really want to trust someone like that?"

Manifesting And De-Manifesting


A major concern for people who enter into Law of Attraction (LOA) is how to "de-manifest" unwanted things from their life. They may have a list of things they really want to get rid of, as well as believe that they need to be guarded and paranoid about any "wrong" thought that pops up for fear of manifesting it. This is usually founded in a misconception of how LOA operates and the role the individual plays in manifesting.

Part 1: Self
The most essential thing for a person to understand is what is most essential to them: themselves - Self, the consciousness underlying every experience. It is the common denominator to everything you live. You, as a person, can grow, learn, take on a thousand different identities and beliefs, and yet this formless, faceless, timeless Self remains unchanged. It exists eternally in the here-and-now. In fact, you could say it is the here-and-now itself. Anything that you ever experience exists because there is a "you" there to experience it - without Self, nothing exists. You can become identified with this Self through meditation.

A simple form of meditation is to take some time to simply observe your thoughts. Relax in a comfortable position (ideally upright), letting yourself breathe steadily and gently releasing any tension with each exhalation. Then, begin to "hear" your current thoughts as you would hear any sound with your ears, or "see" them as you would anything with your eyes. Most of your life is spent interacting with the world *through* these thoughts, which are usually linguistic constructs in the form of a constant inner monologue of beliefs and assumptions. However, if you notice this inner monologue closely, you will find that it is happening *to* you, in the same way that external sounds arise to interact with your ear drums.
As you let your mind run wild, making no effort to suppress it, and simply notice the thoughts as they arise, you will then notice *the fact that you are noticing them*. In other words, the thoughts aren't you, they're *experienced by you.* Even now as you read this, you may notice an inner voice narrating each word. Hear that voice as you continue. Notice the way words translate into meaning within your mind. The fact that you can notice it means that you exist separate from it.
Once you settle into this, you will begin detaching from your thoughts, letting them ebb and flow without engaging them. In other words, you no longer see the world through a lens, but see the lens as well.

Part 2: Reality is a Reflection
Given this understanding, this explanation of LOA should make sense, though it contradicts the modalities that humans are accustomed to in dealing with life's problems:
People attract everything that happens to them whether they were "asking for it" or "asking for not-it," because the contents of your experience reflect what your emotional focus is predominantly placed upon. Physical reality is a mirror to the mind and emotions. If you say "I love this," you'll get more of it. If you say "I hate this," you'll get more of it. If you're indifferent, it will subside, and if your feelings are split (like if you want something but doubt that it's possible), the dominant feeling wins out.
The universe reflects what you pay attention to in an all-inclusive way. If you are suffering from a health problem, for example, know that there is no such idea of "no-disease" that would manifest anything other than more disease. You would have to imagine and think *from* a vision of "health" in order for your health to improve. If you are poor, there is no such idea of "not-poor." You would have to imagine "wealth." And so on.
To fixate upon the problem is to invite more of the problem into your experience. Think of it in terms of forms (physical forms as well as thought forms) and how you "energize" those forms emotionally. This energy is the same whether it's good-feeling or bad-feeling. Your life experience, right here and now, is a manifestation consisting of all the forms which you've previously energized to varying degrees. What you haven't energized has fallen to the wayside - it's not included in your life experience. How your life transforms with each passing moment is determined by whatever you focus upon *in this moment.*
The more you try to push against an unwanted form, the more energy you give it. The more energy you give it, the more it will show up in your experience. This includes the fear of manifesting an unwanted thought. This is why war does not eradicate a problem, but begets more war. Humans are so used to "attacking" their problems that they don't realize this is the emotional focus which energizes those forms and keeps them alive. Likewise, when you pour loving, joyful, enthusiastic focus into the things you do want, you invite them more into your experience.

Part 3: Manifesting and De-Manifesting
When you find yourself faced with negative circumstances or thoughts, your best of course of action is not to take them on, and not to try to leap from a negative-feeling state to a positive-feeling one, but to starve those thoughts of their energy supply through neutral-feeling indifference. Indifference is how anything disappears. You can achieve this indifference by meditating as described in Part 1.
When you find that neutral-feeling, detached state, you now have fertile ground to begin building a vision of what you do want. I recommend starting gently and generally, building upon an overall good-feeling mood and then "filling in the details" with sensory impressions. As you immerse yourself in the specifics, you may encounter resistance. For example, you might be imagining a life of wealth but then your mind starts to wander to taxes, potential thieves, how people might dislike you for being wealthy, etc. The moment you catch yourself wandering into negative-feeling territory, stop and back off of that visualization. Notice the thought, notice Self, detach from the thought, and then start again from that neutral place. Rinse and repeat.
You want something because you think you would feel good in having it. Therefore, when it comes to manifesting the things you desire, neutral-feeling is a better match than bad-feeling, and good-feeling is even better than neutral-feeling. Remain mindful of how you're feeling - make it your utmost priority before you even begin filling in those details.
For a while, you will likely find yourself continuing to "attack" those unwanted thoughts and things, as you're used to doing. You may find yourself continuing to stand guard against your "wrong" thoughts. That's okay, and it's understandable. Life can give us some intensely distressing situations in which the only appropriate response seems to be to freak out. But no matter what the situation, even if you are freaking out, you can observe yourself as the Self underlying it. A freaked-out you is still the same you that exists when you're calm. With steady practice of this process, it will become natural to you, and soon you will become a full-blown wizard.

SP - Specific Person


Can I manifest my SP?
Yes. Circumstances don't matter. There are an infinite number of universes where you have your SP and all you need to do is to switch your state into the state of having. (State = state of mind, attitude, belief etc).

How do I do it?
The only aim of techniques is to deliberately rewire your subconscious mind to believe that you are with your SP. That's it. There are no special techniques, but there are techniques that fit some people better than others.
SATS - State akin to sleep. Before sleeping at night, or before a nap, relax into a Theta/Alpha brainwave state or just get super relaxed to the point where your thoughts have slowed down and you can move but you dont want to. Lethargy. Then imagine a scene, in first person, with you and your SP together. Not a text message or an event in between. Let that be figured out by God or Source or whatever you want to call it. If you want to be married to them, imagine feeling a wedding ring while being next to your SP in bed. Whatever feels natural. If you have a dominant sense, focus on that first and foremost and if you can, build up to other senses but it's not necessary. Just make sure to place yourself in the scene and get so lost in it that you feel like "holy shit! This is real". Whatever sense you use to get the feeling of reality is discretionary and doesn't really matter. Another tip is make sure the implication of the scene is a sustainable feeling. People imagine an exciting scene and then complain within a few days that they can't feel it anymore. Remember when you got a new phone or shoes? You were probably excited. But it quickly wore off and when you came to terms with having it, it was just a common thing, you still loved wearing them or using the phone but you weren't excited about it anymore. That satisfaction of knowing the "feeling it real", and this is a much more sustainable feeling, and much easier to identify with. Not feeling a scene much anymore is actually usually a good sign. The long term love your SP has for you and vice versa isn't constant excitement or anything like that, it's being happy and content knowing you have them.
Instead of SATS you can script, or affirm, but you can't just do it mindlessly. You have to feel them to be true. Be in the relaxed state and really feel the statements to be true. If having a completely true feeling is hard at first, keep doing it, but you might want to try incrementally changing beliefs. If you're feeling unlovable and you try to go to "I am loved and wanted" and it's not working, try doing something like "I'm proud of myself" or "I'm a good person" before moving onto "I am loved and wanted." If you can do "I am loved and wanted" and feel it - good on you.

I feel bad at the start. Is this bad?
Not at all. Work through the emotions. LoA isn't an excuse to repress and supress your emotions. Feel them, cry, eat ice cream, do whatever it takes to just feel the emotions and let them flow through you and do their work. When you're in a better head space, that's when you can begin manifesting your SP. Trying to rewire your brain while emotions engulf you in crippling pain will only reinforce that they are not there with you. It'll feel like you're covering a bad smell with thick fragrance, which doesn't really work. You need to just work through it. Especially for the men out there who like to compartmentalise and "man up", you gotta just feel it. Trust us - a good cry or two helps out a lot.

What can I do to fix my mental diet?
Just keep doing SATS. Your thoughts come from your state of mind. Poor thoughts do not come from a rich mindset. Fix the state, not the thoughts. That's my personal opinion. Once you keep repeating SATS and change the state of mind (i.e. from wanting to having) a mental diet will automatically kick in because most of your thoughts regarding the matter change. If you are in the state of being alone and trying to change every thought, it's a slow and painful way to rewire the subconscious mind because you're doing it through your conscious mind. It's best to do SATS or affirmations while in a relaxed state, which will change your state of mind, and therefore the thoughts that come from it. Be persistent.

How do I make this easier on myself?
Get off social media. This is probably the biggest one.
Go outside, even just for a walk.
Find a hobby.
Stop being blackpilled about stuff.
Get to know yourself better. Find what you like to do. Become an enthusiast about something. Can be anything ridiculous, just be honest with yourself about what you like.

Should I work on myself?
Yes. Self love isn't necessary but it sure helps and makes the process faster. It's like a battle, you can win it on your own but having good logistics helps you and your troops out immensely.

What can I do to change my beliefs?
SATS (State Akin to Sleep)
Affirmations in the relaxed state
Scripting in the relaxed state
Anything which is in the alpha/theta state, with a feeling of it being real, is a brilliant way to rewire your subconscious mind.

But my situation is different...
That's fine. It probably is. But circumstances don't matter. Don't worry about past circumstances, third parties, or anything else. Keep it simple and just focus on the end. If you must focus on the past, revise them so it's positive through SATS or another technique.

How long will it take?
Varies, and there's no set time limit. That being said, it will come the fastest way possible. It may seem long sometimes but just live in the end and dwell therein until it comes.

How do I get over insecurities and fears?
Get a hobby, take care of yourself, know yourself. All fear is rooted in some kind of uncertainty. When you know yourself there are no fears. You can own yourself and in today's world, being yourself is what makes you different. Also, as stated earlier, incrementally changing those beliefs of yours might help as well.

Can I change my SP's personality?
You don't change them. You just switch to a universe where your desired version of your SP exists. Same method, just imagine an action implying they are the version you like. Like is said - anything is possible, so you can have your ideal relationship provided you change your beliefs to it being real. Their "ideal personality" already exists.

What if two people want the same thing?
They both win in their own subjective realities. You win in yours, they lose in yours. They win in theirs, you lose in theirs. Don't worry about conflict. At all.

Getting into SATS (state akin to sleep)


A lot of people struggle with that and instead focus more on daily affirmations, subliminals or scripting. However, the most emphasized technique by Neville Goddard himself is visualization during SATS, a State Akin to Sleep, right before falling asleep. I was really lucky to know self-hypnosis before finding out about Neville Goddard, and immediately noticed how SATS is precisely the prerequisite to any hypnosis session: a state of deep relaxation where you could wake up if needed, but you really don't want to; if you hear your fire alarm you're gonna wake up, but if nothing happens you'll just enjoy that amazing feeling of relaxation for as long as you can. This state, for some reason still yet to be explained, lets your subconscious mind (or you could say your being) accept suggestions with little resistance. This is the state where a hypnotist tells you, using several techniques, that the water in your bottle will taste exactly like orange juice, and it will be exactly as he tells when you wake up, if you accepted his suggestion.

There are SEVERAL different ways to induce a State Akin To Sleep. This SATS technique here is a mixture of a couple of hypnosis techniques; after you get into SATS, the rest is recommended by Neville himself (these are not his words down below, but you can check for yourself that I'm talking about the same technique):

(Neville) (I know this has being said several times, but it's important to contextualize everything) .This first step is not an exercise, this step here you can do in any state of mind, just as you are right now. It's time to choose your cards. Just think of a scene that implies your wish has been fulfilled. Maybe you want to write it down so you'll remember it more easily, but that's not necessary. This is just the planning part. If you REALLY can't think of a particular situation that implies your wish fulfilled, just try to focus on the feeling you think you'd feel after fulfilling your desire. Again, this is just the selection part, don't worry too much about it.

(SATS) Lay on any unusual position in bed, one that is not your usual sleeping position. Lying on my back, not using any pillows in my head, works pretty well since I never sleep in that position. Now it's time to do some breathing work. Breathe deeply through your belly in a determined rhythm that makes you comfortable, slow but not extremely slow. You know you're breathing through your belly when you notice your belly expanding more than your chest when you inhale. Hold your breath a bit longer after exhaling, and try to make exhaling slower. For some reason, exhaling has a very relaxing effect, you'll notice that while you do the next step.

(SATS) After doing that for a few seconds or a minute, close your eyes and, with your eyes closed, focus on the region between your eyebrows. If you want to be more precise, this region is the legendary "third eye". Don't worry about what that is or if that even exists, just try to focus on that region in general, all the while still doing the breathe work. Focusing your vision in this area while breathing in a relaxed rhythm is known to produce deep states of relaxation. You can do it with your eyes opened first if it's too awkward to focus on something while having your eyes closed. Eventually, close your eyes.

(SATS) Now let's apply some hypnosis techniques to send you deeper and deeper into relaxation. Imagine a voice telling you: "you're gonna count from 5 to 1, and each time you think of a number, you feel waves and waves of relaxation flowing through your body. each time you'll go deeper and deeper into relaxation". Each time you count down a number, you exhale. So it goes like "Five" while exhaling. Then you wait while you feel the waves of relaxation flowing through your body. You can also play with those "commands" that this voice tells you. You can think of that voice saying things like "now you're gonna feel that relaxation twice as stronger than before". The important thing is to think of trigger words like "relaxation, whole body relaxing, feeling relaxed, extremely relaxed" etc.. Try to think of something special that is about to happen when you "count to 1". Maybe "when you finally get to 1, you're gonna fall deeply and deeply into a state of total, complete relaxation that you've never felt before". If you want to learn more, look up more self-hypnosis techniques, they are pretty helpful.

(Neville) Now it's time to put Neville into practice again. In that state of deep relaxation, you now start to imagine your scene, imagining it as vividly as possible. If there is a sense that is more impactful to you, try to think of that sense while you think of the scene. For example, mine is smell, so even when I'm not visualizing my scene that clearly, I try to imagine a smell associated with the situation (maybe the smell of grass in a place I want to be, maybe the smell of a new type of device I really want, etc..). Some people are more sensitive to sounds, others with touching, and so on. The most powerful sense will always be your vision, but try to incorporate all the senses in your visualization. Also, REALLY FOCUS ON YOUR FEELINGS. I was reading Neville himself yesterday, and he tells a story about a woman who had lost everything. She needed so many things that she couldn't concentrate on a single scene that implied the fulfillment of her desire, since she had so many different desires at the same time. She then focused not on a particular scene, but on the FEELING of having every desire fulfilled. It was good enough for Neville himself to share the testimony, so this should tell you how important the FEELING part was to him. Imagine your desire has been completely fulfilled, and there is nothing else you want in the moment because it's just DONE, it is fulfilled. How would you feel? Try to capture that feeling while imagining the scene, or even when not exactly imagining the scene but imagining the feelings behind your fulfillment.

(Neville) Fall asleep in your scene or in your feeling. This is the part I still struggle with, since I've always had trouble sleeping. Don't worry too much about it, however. Neville offers 2 options: either you fall asleep, or you wake up from that state and move on with your day. Evidence from his works suggests that falling asleep is the preferred way of completing a SATS session, but since he gave us that other option, I wouldn't worry that much about that. If possible, fall asleep. If not, either move on with your day, or, if it's already too late and you have to stay in bed anyways, at least try to focus on your feeling before falling asleep. Remember how much he emphasized the feelings before going to bed. You might have finished your visualization already and might be trying just to sleep now, but at least go to sleep with that amazing feeling you've felt minutes ago during your SATS session.

>>FAQ and lowkey crash course


>>v1.0

>What is the Law of Attraction?
It talks about how certain thought patterns eventually bring an equivalent reality. A person with a bright outlook on life will have favorable circumstances and someone drowning in negativity will meet unfortunate events.

In practical terms (and this is the point of interest for this kind of threads) you can intentionally evoke the effect by properly imagining ("visualize") events, which will lead to them happening ("materialize") in your life.

>How do I visualize?
-1st person point of view.
-Feel the relevant emotional and physical sensations.
-Realtime, present tense, as if you already have it (in other words, never put a "I want to" or "I will").
-Visualizing looking back at the past when you got it, and still have it (eg talking about friends about how you lost weight or got that job) similarly works.
-DON'T attribute importance to the event.
-Always work with affirmations/positive events instead of negations ("I keep my job" instead of "I don't lose my job", "I pass with flying colors" instead of "I don't drop out", etc). LoA skips the "No" part and goes to what you focus on, this is why many calamities manifest.
-Continue until it "clicks" inside yourself.
-Do this activity every so often.
-That said, it should NOT feel like a chore, let alone one that you dislike, as it will screw up the balance.

>What is importance?
Goes on the lines of an inflated sense of "I am have an important quality/do important work" if attributed to yourself, or “such and such means an awful lot to me” or “it is really important to me to do such and such” if attributed to other things. This creates a lot of potential.

>What is potential?
Something that upset the balance if there is too much of it.

>What balance?
An opposing force that counteracts ("balances") your extreme desires. As result, things can backfire and even push you farther away from the goal from where you originally were.

>And how can I eliminate importance and avoid all that?
-Paradoxical as it sounds, visualize your *failure* (this is an one-time activity). Show yourself that it's not the end of the world if you fail.
-Have a safety net (eg "If I somehow fail, it's okay because I have XYZ are alternatives").
-Visualize things as if they are already part of you (never things in the future), as you can't desire something you already have (such as the clothes you're already wearing right now).
-ACTIONS, steps you manually do to actually accomplish, reduce potential.

See it just like going to buy the newspaper at the newstand. You do the walking there. It's a very everyday thing, chances of failing are so low you might as pretend it's "already" yours. If you somehow fail, life still goes on.

>When is the best time and place to visualize?
Anytime you can give yourself a decent amount of time to relax (meditate), up to an including before sleep.

>What I can and can't/shouldn't manifest?
Pretty much anything is fair game but Zeland makes an exception for money. Money is a finicky thing and shouldn't be a goal or even a means towards a goal, but an attribute that naturally present itself when you reach the goal/in the road towards the goal.

>What about love?
If you're working with an specific person there's a caveat: your desires might conflict with their's, but there's a trick for that. You find a common ground with them (maybe it won't be necessarily love-related), and from there something can blossom.

>"I visualized and didn't work"
-Check the basic steps (1st person PoV, emotional response, detachment, etc)
-Give it some time. The more of a change from your current life the visualization is, the more it will take before it manifests. LoA works better with things that are already "a step away from you".
-Check if there is a mental block ("I need to work my ass off to get famous", "I wasn't born for all those expensive things", "I need to be hot to get a gf", etc) that prevents you from manifesting what you want or makes you ignore/avoid the opportunities for them to happen.

>What if LoA is a sham?
LoA is only a label we gave to the abstract concept of how our minds can affect our reality. Coincidences, dumb lucks, natural occurences, LoA can be attributed to many things.

There is no need to believe in that concept, in fact there's no need to have a deep understanding of it even if you *do* follow the visualization exercises.

The exercises require a certain attitude that gives people a more relaxed approach to life, so even if you don't think they genuinely manifest things into reality, you might find some value on that?

>How can I make visualization more effective?
DO ACTIONS. Work on your skills, talk with people, go to places, etc. You will encounter opportunities to make you want a reality.

>How to tell the difference between visualizing and daydreaming?
Daydream will often be 3rd person PoV and not have enough of an emotional/physical sensation.

You want to be the actor/actress in the play, not one of the audience members.

>Can I use dreams (lucid or otherwise) for manifesting purposes?
No. Anything you "manifest" while asleep will be limited to dreams; as far as the universe is concerned, you already got what you wanted (in your dreams), no need to do further work (in the real world). That said, you can use the scenarios you experience in dreams to make yourself more familiar and comfortable with the same scenarios for when you visualize/materialize them IRL.

>Should I visualize just once or daily?
Keeping it up daily. That said, remember to not make it feel like a chore or else it'll build potential instead.

>How to deal with barrage of negative thoughts? Trying to feel happy all the time is draining
First try to take a breath. Try to find the silver lining on things. React with humor.

At first it's hard, but over time it becomes simpler.

>What is Ho'oponopono?
A small technique to let go of your guilt. It should help you if you have self-worth issues or limiting beliefs. Simply repeat this aloud a few times:

I’m Sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you
I love you

Whatever needs cleansing will come to mind as you say it.
