consciousness is the only reality

โThis sentence explains absolutely everything when it comes to manifesting. I hope these explanations help things click into place the way it did for me.
Stop reacting to the physical world. For now and evermore. If consciousness is the only reality that exists, why react to the physical world?
That also involves this: stop trying to change the physical world. It doesnโt exist. If you want your problem to go away, just stop focusing on it. Lack of attention to something makes it fade away. You canโt be successful if you keep focusing on and changing the old. You just bring more struggle into your experience.
As your consciousness is the only reality that exists, you already have what you want. There is nothing you have to change (in the physical world) when you have what you want.
The only thing you have to change is your mind. It is all that exists. Absolutely nothing else does. You already have what you want. Creation is finished. Realise and be aware that your wish already exists, it doesnโt need you to help create it, it just needs you to be loyal to its existence. Get used to being aware of your desire, instead of being aware of its lack. You have to BECOME. Not try to get, not try to manifest, but become. All these thoughts are references of something that already exists. So live the life you would now that you have what you want. Let the old story of trying go away, and the new story of having come in.
None of the things you see outside is the โtruthโ. To be honest, nothing is. As consciousness is the only reality, what you think or believe is the truth is what youโve paid so much attention to in your mind. With all those thoughts and feelings, it had to come into your physical world. Thatโs why manifesting isnโt about something contradicting the other. Itโs about paying all of your attention to something else so it can arrive in your experience instead.
Once you truly understand what youโre supposed to do, which is simply becoming, you might wonder about the whenโs, the howโs, the โis it even possibleโ questions. Let me answer each of them. It is a universal law. The very fabric of reality. It will deliver, no matter what. The fact that you have it in your mind is proof enough, as it is in the only reality. The world will reflect that. As for the other two, it doesnโt matter. The world isnโt based off of โthis is more logical and likely than the other outcomeโ. It is based only off of your mind. It doesnโt change, it reflects. Absorb the meaning of that. As long as you have a clear and powerful image in your head, it will bend to answer you. Anything is possible.
The physical manifestation will and must come. As Neville said, the time difference is inversely proportional to the amount of naturalness. I like to think of the physical world as a screenshot of your mind right now. You might ask, if I have it right now, why canโt I see the corresponding screenshot? The thing is your mind is filled with all the old thoughts too. The more you sink into the right mindset, the more evidence you will see. The world doesnโt reflect all of a sudden. It takes every thought and reflects it physically. So itโs happening physically little by little, to reflect the perfect whole image in your head of already having it. Thatโs why this is a practice. Neville said something similar, to focus on the feeling fulfilled until it crowds all other ideas of consciousness. Donโt keep on changing to having the old story or your progress will be slower, or itโll even stop. Your mind should be full of this new reality where you already have it. The less you focus on the old story and the more you focus on the new one, the more evidence of your desire you will see.
Iโm going to quote myself from the previous point: โYour mind should be full of this new reality where you already have it.โ And thatโs what Neville was trying to say all along when he talked about changing your reality. He wasnโt telling you how to change the physical world. The physical world reflects your mind, it isnโt a reality. And that process is automatic, you donโt have to meddle with that. He was explaining how to change your mind. By accepting that you have it, and living life from there. He was teaching people how to change their mind to realise that.
Sometimes itโs hard because you see the world and you think, oh no, this stuff is happening, nothing is changing. Remember, the world in every moment is a screenshot of your mind. Nothing is happening, itโs just screenshotting and reflecting. Your new desire is crowding out everything else. You might still see evidence of your old story. But if youโre loyal to the happenings in your mind, that wonโt be very long. You have already determined the end result. Stay true to it. Live in that state of mind. You already have it all, so none of the things you see matter. Theyโre fading away, being crowded by the new image.
