I believe that the real secret to manifesting what you want in your life is hidden in plain view in The Movie The Secret.
You probably saw this “secret” but the significance and value of it may have been lost during the swirling backgrounds, booming sound effects and the rapid fire delivery of sound bites from a multitude of law of attraction teachers who were paraded before you in the movie “The Secret” .
Do you remember a scene from the movie where the actor (I think it was Bob Doyle) was pretending to drive a car and he got so emotionally involved while he was visualizing himself driving a car that it seemed real to him?
He could feel his fingers gripping the wheel and the wind blowing through his hair and hear the roar of the engine.
Without realizing it years ago I employed this same technique when I visualized myself sitting in a high rise building overlooking downtown San
Antonio, Texas.
I would repeatedly see myself looking out a large plate glass window and
I would imagine myself counseling people one on one in a plush office as I swiveled in a soft chair. I could see the Tower of The America’s and all of the high rise buildings of downtown San Antonio as I peered out the window.
My visualization was so real that I could see details such as photos of my family hanging on the wall, my phone even people that I was counseling.
At the time I was working at a clinic located in what many people would consider to be a slum or “barrio.” Although many wonderful people lived in this area the neighborhood where I worked was for the most part run down and riddled with gangs.
Incredibly I soon landed a job working as a counselor in the very building that I had visualized. Every detail that I had visualized came to be.
For eight years I worked in the exact building that I visualized…and yes the view out of my office window was exactly as I had imagined.
Recently I came across some material from Neville Goddard that summarizes three steps to take to change your future and to manifest what you desire in your life.
They say that hindsight is 20/20 but when I read these steps from Neville Goddard I realized that I have unknowingly used these steps in my life to manifest a beautiful home in the neighborhood I wanted, a loving wife and kids, great friends a home business and the great thing is that I am not done.
You can do the same with these three steps from Neville Goddard:
1. Define your objective – know definitely what you want.
2. Construct an event which you believe you will encounter following the fulfillment of your desire – something which will have the action of self predominant – an event which implies the fulfillment of your desire.
3. Immobilize the physical body and induce a state of consciousness akin to sleep; then, mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action – imagining all the while that you are actually performing the action here and now so that you experience in imagination what you would experience in the flesh were you now to realize your goal.
Notice that Neville’s steps do not say to watch your self as if you are acting in a movie.
There is a very subtle yet vital difference.
Neville is saying that you need to “feel” yourself acting in the movie and see yourself performing the action here and now as if your desire has already been achieved.
I hope that you will take action on these three steps from Neville Goddard and achieve what you want in your life.
Please send them to someone you know who may be having trouble manifesting what they want.
To Your Success,

Thanks for a great reminder. As you explained, it is our feelings that attract, not our thoughts. In order to attract what we want, we have to be feeling it.
