I Manifested $500,000 With Neville Goddard's Self-Concept
24:35 Share

I would have never been able to manifest half a million dollars without changing my self-concept. And my self-concept before my spiritual awakening five years ago was based on lack.

My current self-concept is based on abundance, and that's why wealth is flowing to me, just like it's the case for so many of my clients who I have helped to change the conception of themselves. And that's why in today's episode, I reveal the infinity framework of the abundant self-concept that made me and many of my clients go from making less than $1,000 a month to well over $20,000 a month.

the biggest manifestation destroying traps that way too many students of Neville Goddard's work fall into,

and countless practical examples of how I stepped into the new self-concept that I created because only practical advice leads to results. And keep in mind that this infinity framework of the Abundant Self concept is in fact a closed framework. This means that each building block is essential to complete your transformation from the struggling self to the Abundant Self and

Missing out on only one aspect of it could sabotage all your manifestation efforts, and that's why I invite you to listen to this episode till the very end. Now let's first have a look at what your self-concept actually is, before we change it in a way that leads to more abundance, freedom, and opportunities for you.

Because what if I told you that nothing in your physical reality will change until you change your self-concept? And I'm speaking from experience here. I mean, I tried it and I failed. I used affirmations and meditations and even scripting, but nothing changed for me. I neither received opportunities nor unexpected money, even though I wanted to be rich so bad.

Because by trying to manifest without changing my self-concept, I basically try to cook a delicious steak without heat. Yes, your self-concept is that important. Neville Goddard even said in Your Faith is Your Fortune, Change your conception of yourself, and you will automatically change the world in which you live. But what is the self-concept?

There are hundreds of definitions online and because one more doesn't hurt, I will throw my own one in. Here's my definition of the self-concept: Your self-concept is the combination of your beliefs, feelings and perceptions about yourself and others. And we could also say that your self-concept is what you see when you look in the mirror, if you were able to look within you. And nope, I'm not talking about your organs, and yeah, that might have not been the best metaphor, but

Maybe it is a good metaphor, because Neville Goddard also says this in "Your Faith is Your Fortune": "Stop trying to change the world, since it's only the mirror. Man's attempt to change the world by force is as fruitless as breaking a mirror in the hope of changing his face. Leave the mirror and change your face; leave the world alone and change your conception of yourself. The reflection then will be satisfactory."

And it's really simple. If you want to experience the reality of a millionaire, you have to look into the eyes of a millionaire when you look in the mirror. But it's not that simple, because simply labeling yourself as a millionaire by getting a tattoo that says millionaire on your forehead, please don't do that by the way, is not enough.

True change in your physical reality can only happen if you embrace the infinity principle of the Abundant Self concept with its eight individual parts. So now let's jump right into the first one.

Since my spiritual awakening in the year 2020, I love to combine the teachings of different mentors in a way that makes my manifestation process more efficient and effective. And yes, that's how German I am. And when I watched Dr. Joe Dispenza's intensive workshop after signing up for my first of three week-long advanced retreats, I had no idea that this would lead me to a huge realization about Neville Goddard's self-concept. But then this happened.

In this one segment of the intensive workshop, Joe Dispenza said something that blew my mind and that I had to repeat over and over again. And that's that if you create from the energy of "I'm in love with life", you create a life you love. Which means by you feeling a love for life, the universe has to provide you with all the things that make you love your life in the first place.

It's kind of like getting the abundance you want when you feel abundant, just on a bigger scale. And that's why pillar number one is to fall in love with your life. Because when you are in love with life, your physical reality has to include all the things, people and experiences that make you love your life. And in your faith is your fortune, Neville Goddard says.

The invitation of the scriptures to be absent from the body and present with the Lord is not given to a select few. It is a sweeping call to all mankind. The body from which you are invited to escape is your present conception of yourself, with all of its limitations, while the Lord with whom you are to be present is your awareness of being.

And that's the first limitation you have to escape from, this limiting feeling of not fully and completely loving your life.

And one of my favorite books is Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It by Kamal Ravikant. And that's not a coincidence that this is my favorite book, or let's say one of my favorite books. Because it's also not a coincidence that by you opening your heart, by you working with self-love affirmations, and by you reaching for the frequency of love every day, your self-concept will change in a way that your higher self is now fully in love with life.

And Neville Goddard describes this process with the following words: "Your present level of consciousness will only be transcended as you drop the present state and rise to a higher level. You rise to a higher level of consciousness by taking your attention away from your present limitations and placing it upon that which you desire to be."

And if you didn't have the money that you truly want, you wouldn't be so in love with your life. And that's why the money has to find you through the bridge of incidents. But let me ask you this, and this question leads me to pillar number two: Are you responsible for the amount of money you have in your bank account? If you don't answer this question within five milliseconds with "yes", we still have some work to do.

Because at the beginning of my manifestation journey, I didn't want to accept responsibility for the mess that I've created. And let's not even start talking about my health issue that I created back then, but by simply looking at my bank account statement I wanted to cry. Because after years of working 10 to 12 hours every day and destroying myself with work, I had nothing to show for. I was completely broke and every time I looked at my bank account statement, I felt completely hopeless.

But I also knew that I can't simply claim that I created something favorable and then at the same time claim that I didn't create the unfavorable circumstances in my life. You can't be lukewarm. Either you are hot or cold. Either you go all-in or you refuse to accept your responsibility. And the only reason why I was able to manifest half a million dollars is because I went all-in. I accepted that I am the creator, I am the operant power.

And Neville Goddard made me understand that this is the only way that the abundant self that I wanted to become can see the world. And that's why Neville said: "Chance or accident is not responsible for the things that happen to you, nor is predestined fate the author of your fortune or misfortune. Your subconscious impressions determine the conditions of your world.

And that's why pillar two of the infinity framework of the abundant self concept is to accept your responsibility by embracing that you are the creator and the operant power. Now what if I told you that the only way for you to manifest half a million dollars or any amount of money you want is to put yourself on a strict diet?

And there is a reason why some diets are effective, and they are effective because they are incredibly selective about what you consume. And if you only or at least predominantly consume healthy food, your body feels more energized and it's easier for you to lose weight. But that's not the kind of diet I'm talking about. No matter if you eat cake all day long or broccoli, the following diet is necessary.

Because the next pillar in the infinity framework of the abundant self concept is based on two words that Neville Goddard mentions quite often: Mental diet. And on this beautiful journey towards manifesting half a million dollars, I aligned my thoughts with the state of the successful manifestation by sticking to a strict mental diet. And Neville Goddard says this about mental diets:

Talking to oneself is a habit everyone indulges in. We could no more stop talking to ourselves than we could stop eating and drinking. All that we can do is control the nature and the direction of our inner conversations. Most of us are totally unaware of the fact that our inner conversations are the causes of the circumstances of our life.

And we talk to ourselves all day long, every day, throughout the day, and the average human being thinks between 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts a day, and most of them are repetitive. And if you're currently trapped in a state of lack and scarcity, I can guarantee you that at least 95% of your thoughts are based in lack and scarcity. And this has to change. And that's why Neville Goddard says this about changing the way you're talking to yourself.

A man's mental conversations attract his life. As long as there is no change in his inner talking, the personal history of the man remains the same. To attempt to change the world before we change our inner talking is to struggle against the very nature of things.

So change the way you talk to yourself and your life will change. I truly believe this. In fact, I don't just believe it, I know it. I've experienced it on my own physical healing journey and on my abundance journey. And I'm now experimenting with talking to myself the way a millionaire would. I call myself a millionaire. I repeat throughout the day, I am a millionaire. That's why I know that I will be a millionaire very soon.

And that's why I want to ask you the same question that Neville Goddard asked in his lecture about mental diets. What is your aim? Does your inner talking match it? It must, you know, if you would realize your aim.

So observe your thoughts carefully, because your thoughts create your reality. Your thoughts are the way that you speak to yourself. Speak to yourself poorly and you will be poor. Speak to yourself abundantly and you will be abundant. And I now want to take the concept of sticking to a mental diet to the next level by discussing pillar number four of the infinity framework of the abundant self concept.

So be honest: How do you feel when you go to bed right after watching one of those popular crime TV shows where people get murdered, betrayed and screamed at? It took me a long time to realize that the principle of mental diets goes beyond the thoughts that are already floating around in your mind. It's also about the thoughts you actively put there. Or maybe I should better say the thoughts you passively put there, because watching TV is often a very passive process.

But when it comes to manifesting, it leads to active blocks and horrible mental diets. I mean, just think about what thoughts you have after you watch a movie in which people get killed and there's fear and there's betrayal and murder. I mean, I hate to break it to you, but you will live what you want.

You will experience what you listen to. And of course that doesn't mean that you will also get murdered or that you will kill somebody. It doesn't have to be that extreme, but all these negative emotions of fear, of anger, they then again create experiences in your life that reaffirm these states, which means you will attract experiences that give you a reason to be angry.

Because what you consume creates new thoughts and changes old thoughts, either in a good or in a bad way. And that's why every TV show that you watch and every song you listen to creates your self-concept in a way that is more powerful than most people imagine. No matter if you want it or not, what you consume shapes your reality. In fact, Neville Goddard said...

To assume a new concept of yourself is to that extent to change your inner talking or word of God and is therefore putting on the new man. And I have never met a happy and fulfilled millionaire who watches horror movies all day long, who wastes his or her time with crime TV shows and who listens to sad music every waking hour.

And don't you think it will be so much easier for you to develop an abundant self-concept when you watch documentaries about wealthy people and feel abundant while doing so? Because then you watch people succeeding, you watch people being abundant instead of watching people getting murdered and feeling horrible.

Always ask yourself if what you are consuming is in alignment with the ideal you want to realize. And when I had my manifestation goal in mind of reaching half a million dollars, I refused to consume anything that was not in alignment with this goal. Instead of watching the news, I was watching business class reviews. Instead of listening to sad songs, I was listening to music about being rich and wealthy. Of course, I also changed the way I talk to myself because I remember

These words from Neville Goddard: "The transformation of self requires that we meditate on a given phrase, a phrase which implies that our ideal is realized, and inwardly affirm it over and over and over again until we are inwardly affected by its implication, until we are possessed by it."

And yes, I chose to say I have half a million dollars in my bank account. And now I choose to say I am a millionaire because your consciousness and your desires are ever expanding.

And this leads me to the next point, and yes, I experienced my spiritual awakening through a severe health issue. I had a surgery during which a cyst was removed from my bladder, and after this surgery I developed severe nerve damage, which I was able to heal through the power of manifesting, even though every doctor I have spoken to told me that it won't be healed.

However, at the beginning of this journey, I had so many dark nights of the soul, I felt hopeless and I felt helpless, I was angry, I was angry at the world, angry at myself, and I had so much regret. I was constantly living in a state of, if I had known this sooner, I would have never done this or never done that. And I didn't just feel this feeling of regret in regards to my health, but I also felt it in regards to the amount of money.

Or the lack of, I should better say, in my bank account. I was constantly living in a state of, if someone had only taught me about manifesting sooner, I would be rich now and not poor. But the truth is that if you stay in the state of regret, the abundant life you want to manifest can't flow to you. It just won't flow to you. And Neville Goddard knew this and that's why he said,

Do not waste one moment in regret, for to think feelingly of the mistakes of the past is to reinfect yourself. And that's why you have to let go of your past by loving it into a state of wholeness, because this gives you the freedom to create your new self-concept and your new life.

And you cannot take the feeling of regret for the past into your future. It can't be a part of your abundant self-concept because the feeling of regret is at war with the feeling of abundance. And now you might be saying, how can I possibly love this feeling of regret for the past and for what has happened to me in the past into a state of wholeness?

You have to realize that without the financial setbacks and the other experiences that you perceive as negative, you would have most likely not experienced your spiritual awakening.

Without the hardships in your life, you would have never searched for answers. Without the loss that you've experienced, you might have never stumbled upon the biggest secret of them all, that we are creators, that manifesting is real, and for that, you have to be forever grateful, no matter how painful it might have been.

And in case you're struggling with regret, I invite you to feel into your heart every day and to try to create a feeling of gratitude for the fact that you have stumbled upon the secret that you are the creator of your life. And this has helped me to let go of regret and to step into my future. And in the beginning it was incredibly painful, but now I look back at this time with a smile on my face, gratitude in my heart and a beautiful feeling of love and wholeness.

And at some point during my manifestation journey, I realized that we are all guided by emotions.

We might think that we make rational logical decisions, but we both know that if you decide to buy a sports car instead of a practical car, it's not because of the horsepowers, but because of the feeling that driving this car gives you. And I then realized that we all, no matter if we manifest a life full of despair or a life full of amazing abundance and adventures, we all are guided by three to five core emotions.

And in The Feeling is the Secret, Neville Goddard describes this principle beautifully with the following words. Emotional disturbances, especially suppressed emotions, are the causes of all disease. To feel intensely about a wrong, without voicing or expressing that feeling, is the beginning of disease, in both body and environment.

And I've lived an emotionally disturbing life, I've suppressed emotions, I've made myself sick and I've made myself poor. And that's why I had to change my core emotions, in order to create a new self-concept, which then allowed me to create a new reality, my abundant reality. And in your faith is your fortune, Neville Goddard says.

All things are crystallized liquid light. The differentiation or infinity of expression is caused by the conceiver's desire to know himself. Your conception of yourself automatically determines the velocity necessary to express that which you have conceived yourself to be.

And just like crystallized liquid light, your emotions are flowing through your inner being. They construct who you are. And on a certain level they create your self-concept. And if you truly hold the desire to know yourself, you must know your emotional life, because your emotional life creates your life. Now what emotions do you want to allow in the creation process of life?

That's why I now invite you to embrace pillar 6 and to define the 3 to 5 core emotions that build the emotional foundation of your Abundant Self concept. And my 3 core emotions of my Abundant Self concept are: Freedom, Abundance, a Love for Life. Now what are yours? And this leads me to the next pillar.

When I embarked on my journey of manifesting more money, I wanted to feel abundant all day long. And this was not an easy task because my bank account was almost empty. But I had to find a way to stay in the feeling of the wish fulfilled and

Then I remembered that I had this one navy blue blazer, which was tailor-made in Thailand for less than $100, and I wore it every day. I wore it even though from severe health issues that I had back then, my belly was so bloated that I couldn't even close the button, and I wore it even though in the beginning I wasn't even able to move properly because of the nerve damage that I had back then.

I wore it anyway, because it made me feel abundant. And nowadays, I feel the most abundant wearing linen shirts, shorts, and as a German, my beloved Birkenstocks. Because this style reminds me that I have the financial freedom to live in a tropical country, to go to the beach whenever I want, and to enjoy my life.

So that's why I now invite you to take a look in the mirror and to ask yourself: Is that what a millionaire looks like? Is that what my abundant self looks like? If not, change the appearance. This might not be the original meaning of Neville Goddard's mirror principle, but by you changing the appearance of the person who looks in the physical mirror, your outer reality can reflect the change. And in your faith is your fortune, Neville Goddard says.

Time is ever conditioned by man's conception of himself. Confidence in yourself as determined by conditioned consciousness always shortens the interval of time. If you were accustomed to great accomplishments, you would give yourself a much shorter interval in which to accomplish your desire than the man schooled in defeat.

confidence in myself. That's exactly what this navy blue blazer gave me back then. It was the confidence I needed to accept this new self-concept that I created while I was looking at myself. So try it out, the mirror never lies. And now we come to the last pillar of the infinity framework of the abundant self-concept.

And at the beginning of my spiritual journey, I was obsessed with theoretical knowledge. I studied every single one of Neville's lectures, but eventually I had to admit that nothing would change in my life if I don't put everything into practice, not just once, but every day. Because every day is a new opportunity to step into your new self-concept. Every day is a new opportunity to embody it and to live it. Every day is a new opportunity to...

to embrace the last pillar of the infinity framework of the abundant self-concept, and that's to follow the principle of persistent repetition to turn a once-abstract self-concept into who you are at your core. And despite what some people believe about Neville's teachings, he was in fact a believer of repetition, just like this quote from him proves.

If, however, you do not reach the point of satisfaction, repeat the action over and over again until you feel as though you touched it and virtue went out of you. So embody your new abundant self-concept every day and your reality has to shift according to the conception of yourself.
