Catch-up Is A Stressful Game: A Further Defense Of Astrological Timing

main character to the CORE!

we’ve all heard of the “main character” until this point. we’ve all wanted to be the main character. but who is the main character? the main character is a person who does everything right, who’s always in the right place at the right time, who has the perfect love life, perfect friends, perfect looks, a thrilling life, a supportive family, is very confident, loved and looked up to by everyone, and last but not least, successful.

as i said, we all want to be the main character of our life. we don’t want to live a passive life, watching others get ahead with their lives and get what we want most, while we’re feeling like outsiders in our own story. but, i have very, very good news for you. you can be the main character! yes, you heard my right. you can be the main character. so, manifest that you are! here’s how i would do it:

first of all, i’d work on my self concept, to get that confidence that every main character needs to feel good about themselves and accomplish all their dreams! i’d affirm that “i always get what i want”, “i’m perfect and respected”, “everything i want is already mine”!

then, if i felt like my physical looks needed a glow up, i’d manifest one! some of the affirmations i would use are “i have a perfect body”, “i look like a dream come true”, “my face is beautiful and ethereal”, “i look like a greek god/goddess”!

of course, a main character needs good friends. to manifest perfect friends, i’d affirm: “i have a perfect friend group”, “all my friends are really supportive”, “my friends are always there for me when i need them”, “i have many good friends”, “all my friends are very funny and sweet”!

a main character also needs support at home. so, if you want to manifest a supportive family, affirm things like: “my family is very supportive”, “my family is always there for me”, “i feel loved and understood by my family”!

now, about the love life: a main character doesn’t need a significant other to feel complete! however, if you want one, this is an example of what you could affirm: “i have the most perfect partner ever”, “my parter loves me endlessly”, “my partner loves me and supports me through thick and thin”!

lastly, a main character achieves their dreams! manifest your dreams! whether it’s being a singer, actor, doctor, lawyer, veterinarian, living in new york, going to the moon, or do a one month trip in asia, manifest it!!!

manifest your main character life, and watch how your life will turn into a literal movie! <3

I. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Introduction/ What is Self Concept

This is genuinely one of if not the most important topic you’ll ever educate yourself on in regards to the law of assumption so I’m gonna need your full, undivided attention. Okay? Let’s start.

Some of the most frequently asked questions I receive as a law of assumption blog are always: How can I manifest instantly? How can I know my desires are coming? How can I feel like my manifestation is mine? How can I feel it real/know it’s coming? Two words: Self Concept.

Self concept is how you see yourself in relation to the world and how you see the world in relation to you. What does that mean? Let me explain.

How you see yourself in relation to the world - who you think you are and established notions that have been cultivated through your upbringing, how secure you feel about yourself and how that’s exhibited as you interact with others as well as how you carry yourself on a day-to-day basis

How you see the world in relation to you - what you think others think about you and how you expect people to treat you, the beliefs you have about the world you live in and how they manifest into your life experiences

The assumptions you have carried up until this point have been shaped by your surroundings and life experiences. If you were bullied growing up you may have convinced yourself that you’re not good looking, not smart and not deserving of good things or perhaps you think the world is nothing but suffering and bad things are always happening to you. Maybe you’ve had several bad experiences in life which you fixated on and consequently adapted the “I’m gonna expect the worst case scenario to happen so in the chance it does I won’t feel disappointed”. Since our 3D is shaped by our assumptions they will inevitably manifest. You’ve had thoughts running on autopilot about yourself and your world that you’ve accepted as truths. By working on your self concept you are essentially throwing out an nonserving mindset and replacing it with a more favorable, practical and fruitful one.

When you have a good self concept, every facet of manifesting will fall into place, you’ll feel much more centered mentally and life simply becomes better! The world around you is a mirror of the world within you and it will inevitably reflect back to you what you think about yourself and what you think about your world.

“Consciousness is the one and only reality. We are incapable of seeing other than the contents of our own consciousness.” - No One To Change But Self

Your self concept is the key to unlocking all of your desires. Literally. The relevance of a strong self concept within the law of assumption is imperative because when you know you are God, you know you can do and have whatever you want and there’s nothing in this world that is out of your reach. When you acquire this sense of power, you will be devoid of doubts and setbacks and your desires will come to you with ease! Don’t believe me? Take a look at all of the people who have acquired results as a direct cause of investing in their self concept

II. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Advantages of investing in your self concept

Self concept is so exciting to work on because it’ll help you embody your unlimited potential! When you work on your self concept you will no longer deal with:

Victim mentality - Instead of seeing yourself as someone who always has bad things constantly happen to them you’ll see yourself as THE one on the pedestal, the one who is loved and respected and admired, You hold yourself accountable for your life and what goes on around it.

Sᴛʀᴏɴɢ ᴅɪsᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇʀ: Aɴʏ ᴅɪsᴄᴜssɪᴏɴs ʀᴇɢᴀʀᴅɪɴɢ ᴇɪʏᴘᴏ, ᴠɪᴄᴛɪᴍ ᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟɪᴛʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍᴀɴɪꜰᴇsᴛɪɴɢ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜɪɴɢs ɢᴏᴏᴅ ʙᴀᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ɪɴᴅɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴛ ᴀʙsᴏʟᴜᴛᴇʟʏ ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ɪɴᴄʟᴜᴅᴇ ɪɴsᴛᴀɴᴄᴇs ᴏꜰ ᴛʀᴀᴜᴍᴀ ᴏʀ ᴀʙᴜsᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴀɴʏ ᴋɪɴᴅ.

“Aware of what your senses and reason dictate, you may believe that you are limited, unwanted, ignored, and mistreated; and your world confirms your belief in your imaginal activity. And if you do not know that your awareness is causing this mistreatment, you will blame everyone but yourself; yet I tell you the only cause of the phenomena of life is an imaginal activity. There is no other cause.” - Believe It In

Wishful thinking - You know how you’ve always wanted to be this or do that? You can! Or how you always wanted to play the guitar? You can! Date your celebrity crush? Doable! Look exactly like Jennie? No problem! Study abroad in your dream ivy league university? Yup! Even with a terrible GPA? Even with a terrible GPA! Nothinggggg is out of reach and when I say that I’m dead serious! You no longer need to think about how nice it would be if you could travel, draw, sing, dance whatever it is it can be yours!

Regrets - If you’re someone who resents the past for any reason because you feel like you didn’t have a great high school experience or because you missed out on a huge opportunity let me just say… It means nothing. Seriously, you can revise, you can time travel back to the past and relive it as you would have liked, whatever it is now that you know just how powerful you are as God you realize that resentment and regret don’t need to be an issue anymore! As I will repeat multiple times in this post you are in control of every single aspect of your reality. Past, present and future. Time isn’t real and whatever it is you feel like you missed out on you can have it, you can do it, you can be it.

Insecurities and jealousy - Gone are the days of you seeing some girl on Instagram you want to look like. No more wishing you could also be as artistically gifted like that person on TikTok. Bye bye to desperately wishing you could achieve your goals. Who cares whatever x person is doing, where they’re vacationing at or who they’re dating. You can have it all too!

Being treated poorly - If you assume that the people around you often screw you over, leave you, lie to you and so on, that will be exactly what you experience. With a good self concept, you will be treated with love and respect by others because you’ll come to understand that since the people in your reality have no free will, you can determine how they see you and how they behave with you!

Desires on the pedestal - When your desire is on a pedestal it means that you either see it as above you, out of reach or as something you don’t deserve. Whatever it is, know that you CAN have it and you DO deserve it. Nothing is on a pedestal when you realize just how easily you can attain it. There is no such thing as a “big” or “small” manifestation. Manifesting a $47 million mansion in Beverly Hills is just as easy as manifesting a Costco hot dog with ketchup. I don’t care what it is or how “hard” it would be for the average person to acquire. Just say the word.

Impatience - A LOT of y’all struggle with this and I understand. You want your desires NOW and you are DONE waiting. What if I told you that it is absolutely up to you when you get your desires. Yes. You can determine how long it takes, whether it’s a month, a week or a minute. You get to decide that and before you ask me how the short answer is you need to believe that you can. How can you believe that you can? Through self concept!

III. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You are God

“I urge you not to limit yourself to a little body of flesh and blood, for you are spirit. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, so one day you must take it off. And he who takes it off is immortal. He is your own wonderful human imagination who is God, the Father of all life. When you learn to live this way, life becomes so exciting. Your days are full and you are never alone...I close my eyes and travel the world…It expands me and makes me become more aware of the infinite being that I really am.” - Brazen Impudence

When I say you’re God I mean it literally. It’s not a figure of speech baby, you ARE GOD. You are powerful, divine and limitless. You can manifest whateeeeever the hell you want and nothing is out of reach for you. It means that your desires are inevitable because nothing can interfere with the commandment of God. If you need further context for the God thing stop and think for a second about what God cannot do... Nothing. Because God is omnipotent. God can do ANYTHING, God can HAVE anything and God can BE anything. There are NO limits to what you can do!

Nonchalance - (of a person or manner) feeling or appearing casually calm and relaxed; not displaying anxiety, interest, or enthusiasm. When you know you’re God, you’re always feeling calm and relaxed because manifesting something is as easy as deciding that it’s yours.

No more surrendering your power to external sources, okay? - As God, YOU are the one in control of everything around you. Cancel that tarot appointment, delete Co—Star and The Pattern, they do not define you nor do they get to dictate your life in any way. YOU get to decide who you are and what goes on in your life. The future is not predetermined and neither is your personality. External sources are not necessary. Think of it as hiring a tutor for your mother tongue… very unnecessary and very silly. Why would you seek something else to help you on something you can do yourself?

It is logical for God to do the illogical - To label anything as "impossible" is to severely discredit yourself. Whether it’s having bright purple eyes, bringing back someone who’s passed away, breathing underwater, becoming immortal, I could go on but you get it. Who cares what it is or how unrealistic it sounds. You can have it because you are God. And before you hit me with “if that’s true then why aren’t there success stories?” First of all, not everyone rushes to the internet to brag about what they’ve manifested. Second of all, just because there is no success story out there that does not mean you cannot do it yourself. What’s stopping you from being the first success story?

Limiting beliefs ❀ - A limiting belief is a belief that impedes you from manifesting your desires. If it sounds dumb, requires a lot of work and stop you from living your dream life it is a limiting belief. Limiting beliefs will cease to exist as you work on self concept because the more you start to pick up on the fact that you’re God you’ll soon realize that you are absolutely limitless. You can have anything and everything you want.

To list a few:

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎You can’t always get what you want

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Life is not always fair

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎The one that got away

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Once in a lifetime

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Fate/Destiny

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎You can’t change the past

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎You have to work hard for what you want

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Everything happens for a reason

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Not everyone will like you.

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎If it’s meant to be, it will be/Divine timing

These are all beliefs you can let go of once and for all because God has no limits… so these are not applicable to you.

Circumstances don’t matter - I don’t care what’s going on or what’s going on. Circumstances do not matter. In the slightest. You can manifest becoming a billionaire despite being dirt poor. You can manifest your specific person even if their wedding is next week. You can manifest the scholarship even though you’re failing every subject. Whatever it is, circumstances absolutely do not matter in the slightest and I cannot emphasize this enoughhhh like seriously if you’re limitless it doesn’t make sense to have limits whatsoever…

You control the details - Since you’re God you can pretty much dictate how a circumstance plays out. When you know this, you realize that there are a multitude of ways to handle an unfavorable situation. Let’s suppose you and your best friend who’s shown their true toxic colors had the worst fight ever and you both decided to no longer be friends. Let’s consider what you, as God, can do about the situation:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ manifest a sincere apology

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ revise never having had that fight

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ manifest them having a personality change

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ simply manifest a new best friend.

“Are you really convinced that Jesus Christ is in you? Have you tested him? If you have and are still not sure, then you have failed the test… I tell you that Jesus Christ is your own wonderful human imagination, who is the eternal creative power of God. If you do not know that, you do not know Jesus Christ!” - God’s Creative Power

IV. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ What does an ideal self concept look like?

When you’re manifesting, there are no backups,There are no what ifs. There’s just you and your desire. Period. Circumstances are absolutely irrelevant and you don’t resort to “backup plans” and speaking of backup plans…

Elle Woods as a self concept model ❀ - Let’s talk about one of my favorite self concept icons Miss Elle Woods for a bit, specifically that scene in Legally Blonde where she sets her heart on going to Harvard law school despite the fact that her qualifications were a bit iffy. When she met with an advisor, they suggested she have some backups upon going through her transcript. Did Elle let that discourage her from applying anyway? Did she listen to her and go “hmm, maybe she’s right I should pick some backups.” Nope. She said “I don’t need backups, I’m going to Harvard”. You know what happened? She went to Harvard. Even though her application wasn’t the most suitable for law school as a fashion merchandising student, even though she was initially struggling when studying. Even with the circumstances not being in her favor, Elle persisted and got in because she didn’t let rejection be an option.

What can we learn from Elle?

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Know what you want and be brazenly impudent

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Don’t take no for an answer

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Pay no mind to unfavorable circumstances, if any

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Approach your desires with the confidence and certainty that they’re yours the moment you claim them, because they are!

Experiencing life with a strong and affirmative self concept is like viewing a catalogue of absolutely anything you can have for yourself. Scrolling through tumblr and see your dream face and body? You can look like that. Inspired by your comfort character’s personality? You can be just like them. An angelic singing voice like your favorite artist? You can have it. Obsessed with the latest Versace collection? You can own it. You watched a K-Drama with the most dreamy romantic love story you’ve ever heard of? You can experience that. Your world famous celebrity crush? You can date them. You can have anything you lay your eyes on. Nothing is off limits ❀

The thought process you should be having should look something like this:

“I can have whatever I want. Nothing is out of reach for me. That can be me too, there’s no need for me to be jealous. I know that circumstances do not matter when it comes to my desires and I do not need to lift a finger to manifest. I don’t need to freak out over not having something when I know it’s mine the moment I say it is.”

Pay attention to the thoughts you have daily and what you think instinctively when it comes to something you want. It may take some time, but soon enough you’ll let go of the lacking mentality and gradually acquire the knowing mentality. When you do, you will feel closer to your desires and see them as something you can obtain rather than something you could.

I hope I get the job → I’m getting the job

If he asks me out → When he asks me out

I wish I could do that → I can do that too

I want to look just like them → They look just like me

V. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ How to acquire an excellent self concept

Use your favorite manifesting method - Manifesting is not a one size fits all! I really suggest you tryout different methods and see which one you like most

Command your subconscious mind

The easiest and quickest method. Command your subconscious mind to give you the best self concept ever! Do it once and know that it’s yours.

Use the State Akin To Sleep ❀

You can try the lullaby method and affirm “I have an excellent self concept” over and over again until you fall asleep. Or you can always try vaunting, imagine yourself bragging (emphasis on bragging) to a friend about how you have a brand new self concept and it’s successfully given you your every desire.

Visualize

I want you to imagine yourself as the best possible version of you. You’re someone who always gets what they want, who excels at everything, manifests effortly, who’s the center of attention everywhere they go, nothing feels out of reach for you, you live such a happy and fulfilled life because you never have to deal with failure, rejection, stress or sadness ever again.

Know - The other easiest and fastest method is just knowing. If you dwell in knowing that you have a good self concept and you naturally embody that it’ll quickly harden into fact

Affirm - I like to stick to five affirmations or less because it’s easier for me to remember them, but you can have 2157 affirmations for all I care. Make affirming fun for self concept! It should not feel like you’re feeding a newborn and you’re forcing yourself to do that once every few hours. Please do not make it a job. Amp up your affirmations or do whatever else necessary so it doesn’t feel like you’re affirming robotically. Remember, state your affirmations as FACTS. Don’t just read through them once and call it a day. Embody them, feel them, acknowledge them. It’s okay if you don’t actually believe the affirmation itself, just keep affirming because eventually they will harden into fact!

Vaunting ❀ - My absolute favorite way to affirm. If you don’t know what vaunting means, it’s literally just bragging! This method is perfect if you struggle to focus while affirming and if you’re not sure how to affirm in a way that doesn’t come off dull and boring. When I was vaunting I would script and go on tangents about how I’m God and I can do all these different things and because I love you all so much I went ahead and wrote out a little self concept vaunt example:

My life has been so wonderful lately! Everything always works out in my favor, I always get what I want and whatever I say goes! Every aspect of my life is ideal because all of my desires have been fulfilled. I am the one who has it all and I am living the life of my dreams. You know why? Because I literally have the best self concept ever. I know for a fact that I am the architect of my life and the world around me is my own ideal creation. I’m not even impatient anymore because I know that whatever I want is mine the moment I say it is. Manifesting is the easiest thing in the world for me to do. Because I am God, I know for a fact that I manifest instantly, perfectly and without fail every single time.

When to affirm

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ During the State Akin To Sleep - The first 30 minutes after waking up and right before you go to bed

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Anytime you think of yourself or your desires

A few self concept affirmations to choose from:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Whatever I want is mine the moment I say it is

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I am the architect of my life

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ The world around me is my own ideal creation

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Everything always works out in my favor

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I do not take no for an answer

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Whatever I say, goes.

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ It is mine the moment I say it is

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Manifesting is the easiest thing in the world for me to do

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I always get what I want

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Every aspect of my life is perfect

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ All of my desires have been fulfilled

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Whatever I want is mine the moment I say it is

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I am the one who has it all

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I am living the life of my dreams

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Every aspect of my life is ideal

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I am secure, successful and happy

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Everything always falls into place for me

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Because I am God, I know for a fact that I manifest instantly, perfectly and without fail every single time. ❀

VI. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Maintaining your self concept

It’s so easy to come on Tumblr and feel powerful after reading a single post only for you to go back to your day-to-day routine and that power wears off and you start to feel average again, so here are a few tricks that helped me maintain my self concept.

Read Neville - What really truly helped cultivate and maintain my self concept was reading Neville. I would go days without reading his lectures and my self concept would shrivel like a prune and I noticed when I was most consistent in reading and listening to what he said I felt sooooo much better and reassured. Indulging yourself in Neville’s work will have you feeling and KNOWING that you are God. His books and lectures are FILLED with success stories of people who’ve done what would’ve otherwise been considered impossible!. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of reading Neville when indulging in the law of assumption, especially as a beginner. He will make you feel SO powerful and your self concept will skyrocket! Neville’s work is a good way to keep educating yourself about the law of assumption as well as to continue reminding of the success that comes with applying the law.

Any Neville lecture will do because his diction is impeccable and so motivating! There aren’t any books nor lectures that specifically focus on self concept since many of the principles of the law are discussed across many of his lectures briefly. However, any lecture with the words “God”, “I” or “I am” will touch on self concept for sure. Don’t forget the ones i’ve repetitively quoted as well. Here are a few great ones:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ No One To Change But Self

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ God’s Creative Power

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Your Faith Is Your Fortune

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ At Your Command

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ God Became Man

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Brazen Impudence

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I Am The Lord

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ The Law and The Promise

Read success stories - I think this is slightly underrated but also a bit of an obvious one. I love reading success stories because I get to see what I can manifest too and Neville's work is filled with them! Below are 160 stories from the wonderful Angel’s page.

85 success stories from my page using my advice

75 success stories from my page using my advice

Mental diet - Mental diets are great and I love them so much. This is what helped me to keep my new mentality in check. Be selective as hell with what gets your attention and what’s worth thinking about. When you indulge in a mental diet you’ll learn to become more aware of the thoughts you are having as you go out into the world. Have a bad thought? Correct yourself immediately but also don’t drive yourself crazy doing this. You don’t have to FLIP EVERY SINGLE THOUGHT you have. We have about 6,000 thoughts a day, so… This could take some practice, so start slow and you’ll get the hang of it little by little.

Manifest “small” things - This one is also a no brainer because why wouldn't you be trying it out? Here are some little things you can manifest:

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎the saturn emoji 🪐

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎a purple butterfly

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎a message that says ily

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎the number 555

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎an orchid

As you manifest all of these successfully you’ll become more and more certain about your capacity!

Use a notebook - This is a great little habit you can also use to track what you’ve successfully manifested as well as to point out the changes you’re starting to see in your life. If you have tangible evidence of the progress you’re making it’ll only encourage yourself more and more to continue! If you’d be doing so for self concept some points could look like this:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I am being treated much better by my loved ones

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ My manifestations come so much quicker

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I am not as insecure as I used to be

Scripting tangents - I mentioned this for vaunting but I used to loveeeeee scripting tangents about being God and how I was going to give myself the life of my dreams and I was done being a victim and how I will be able to travel and be wealthy and date whoever I want live wherever I want literally anything I could think of as I wrote because as I’ve said over and over again, you are limitless. You’ll never run out of things to list that you can manifest because there is nothing you cannot have, do or be!

VII. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ How to know if your self concept is perfect or needs improvement

You know you have a good self concept when:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You no longer deal with negative emotions

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You stop wondering if you can manifest _ because you know the answer is always yes

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You don’t bother settling or taking no for an answer

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You no longer seek external validation of any kind

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You’re in a good mood more frequently and feel better overall

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You acknowledge your desires matter-of-factly

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You don’t care about the how, it’s happening no matter what

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You’re naturally optimistic

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Good things happen more frequently

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You don’t get impatient about manifesting

Some indicators that your self concept needs improvement are:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You validate logic

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You accept defeat

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You’re still checking the 3D

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You still see life as something that happens to you

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You have that little intrusive voice whenever you read a success story

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You have beliefs that stop you from manifesting what you want

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You’re pedestalizing anything, whether it’s a specific person, a desire or a method

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You still think you cannot manifest certain things

VIII. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ What to do

Note that regardless of what you’re struggling with you absolutely can manifest. Don’t worry! When I first started working on my self concept I remember encountering circumstances that challenged my affirmations. I didn’t always get what I wanted, but that didn’t matter. Internally, I continued to affirm “I always get what I want :)” and that’s what I would encourage you to do as well. Remember that your subconscious mind cannot tell right from wrong, think about the thoughts that you’re feeding it and what it’s hearing from you (again, mental diet 101).

“The signs always follow. They never precede. Things have no reality other than in consciousness. Therefore, get the consciousness first and the thing is compelled to appear.” - At Your Command

Persist - Also another issue I’m frequently asked about. Not seeing results? PERSIST, BITCH. PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER. Remind yourself of who you are and what you're capable of! If you’re not getting what you want, remind yourself “This stemmed from me and the same way I can manifest what I didn’t want I can also manifest what I dowant.” Take responsibility where it’s due. Whatever happens do not give up and do not take no for an answer.

“And you can believe anything in if you will not accept the facts your senses dictate; for nothing is impossible to imagine, and imagining - persisted in and believed - will create its own reality.” - Believe It In

Impatience and dwelling on failure - What I absolutely do NOT want you to do is dwell on the fact that you’re struggling. It’s okay to acknowledge that your desires haven’t arrived YET, but as long as you persist in what you DO want (to have an excellent self concept) it’s okay! But please stop fixating on how you’re not getting results and how you’re not doing this or don’t have that, what you focus on GROWS

“Man insists on talking about his problems. He seems to enjoy recounting them and cannot believe that all he needs to do is state his desire clearly. If you believe that imagination creates reality, you will never allow yourself to dwell on your problems, for you will realize that as you do you perpetuate them all the more.” - Believe It In

Intrusive thoughts - We’ve all dealt with intrusive thoughts at one point or another and people will deal with them different ways. Some people decide not to process such thoughts as negative and let them pass by naturally. I’m going to list three different ways I dealt with my intrusive thoughts

Interruption

I had two methods of interruption I opted for. When I had “what if” moments I often interrupted those thoughts by affirming “it is done” and I said that over and over again every single time that came up, like this:

“What if it doesn’t hap-”

“It is done.”

“But-”

“It is done.”

The other method wasI would finish the intrusive thought off in a positive note like this:

“why is my life so-”

“perfect in every possible way? I’m honestly so in love with my life like I am literally the happiest person on earth I think”.

Telling them to shut up

I would envision my intrusive thoughts coming from someone else despite knowing it was me but anyway when I would have one literally respond mentally with “shut up, BITCH” the same way the rock did (like I would LITERALLY use his exact same tone and aggression while doing this lmao) and counter affirm and they stopped!

Deciding I didn’t have any

After so much redundancy of combatting my intrusive thoughts I had the sudden epiphany that I could just manifest them away… I was so surprised I didn't think of it earlier. Whenever one was coming up I would just be like “nope nope nope I don’t have intrusive thoughts I have never had one of those in fact, what’s an intrusive thought? Never heard of that” and they went away in two days <3

Doubting the law - If you have felt like this because you somehow think it’s too good to be true then you’re not alone, I was once there too. I constantly thought to myself, what if the law ends up not being real after all and what if i have to go back to struggling? I’m here to tell you that doubt is completely normal. Besides, get a load of how much Neville Goddard’s work is out there… a lot of us follow his teachings and have reaped the benefits of doing so! It’s not like we all mutually agreed to conjure up a random figure from the seventies and founded a community around him and pretend we have our desires just to troll people on the internet… That’s weird as hell. Anyway! If you’re feeling like this, read my post on doubt. As I have stated previously, having just a little bit of faith will take you so far in your manifesting journey.

Spiraling - Okay bff if you’re spiraling stay with me okay you can get through this now let’s take three deep breaths okay? In……[Hold for five seconds and then]……Out (3x) Now repeat after me:

“I am capable of manifesting anything I could ever want because my word is gospel. Even if the 3D has not conformed yet, I know that it will no matter what. Intrusive thoughts and negative emotions hold no power over me and nothing can interfere with the manifestation of my desires. I am in control of every aspect of my reality and what I say goes. Because I am God, I know for a fact that I manifest instantly, perfectly and without fail every single time.”

The reason why I have literally never dealt with a spiral (aside from having a great self concept) is because I’m conscious of just how much control I have over my reality. No matter what the predicament is, there is always always a solution because you are always in control. Recall my previous example of the toxic best friend and the multitude of ways you could deal with it. Whenever an issue comes up it’s pretty much “whatever, I can just manifest myself out of this predicament”. That’s literally why I don’t bat a lash whenever something would happen that I would’ve been stressed over. Think about it, as God you’re in control of everything, why would you freak out? It’s completely silly, baby. The world is entirely yours.

“There is no limit to the power of belief or to the possibilities of prayer, but you must be brazenly impudent and not take No for an answer. Try it! When I say you are all imagination, I mean it.” - Brazen Impudence

Feeling overwhelmed or anxious - Manifesting should NOT be stressing you out so if you’re feeling awful take a break! Don’t beat yourself up if it didn’t work out! Pick yourself back up and try again. Go back to the basics and have a fresh start. Get back to that beginner level and take a few baby steps, manifest little things to gradually build up your confidence. Take it slow and don’t impose so much pressure on yourself to do this correctly from the start. Didn’t go out as planned? Don’t worry, just try again. Take all the time you need until you feel more calm and relaxed. Your self concept won’t collapse in itself if you take a little break from it, I promise.

Doing without belief - A HUGE no-no, my love! Belief is a must when applying the law. If you’re not believing you are performing in vain. If this is what you're struggling with I recommend reading my post: How To Cultivate Your Belief In The Law.

Overconsumption - If you’ve over consumed info and thinking “oh no, I have confused myself to the point of no return” and idk where to go from here, here’s what I want you to do

Delete Tumblr (or the social media you consume from)

Stick to a single source (Neville of course)

Work on your self concept (use this post)

Now, here’s a little motivational rant:

Think about everything you'd be surrendering if you quit now! You deserve to live the life you've always wanted. You deserve to wake up every single day fulfilled knowing that you are living out all of your wildest greatest dreams. You deserve to be able to look at yourself in the mirror in disbelief at how ethereal you look. You deserve to feel ecstatic every time you get what you want. You deserve to indulge in every pleasurable experience the world has to offer. You deserve love, peace of mind, abundance and joy. You are worthy of that and so much more! Stop entertaining ideas that suggest that you are not good enough to manifest your desires. Do not take no for an answer. Do not let the 3D discourage you. Actually, don't let ANYTHING discourage you. Pay no mind to the intrusive thoughts that insist you can't manifest. Yes you can and yes you will. No matter what happens, persist in the fact that you are a master at manifesting and you're not gonna accept anything else. You'll be damned if you settle for mediocrity when you know you can have it all. You are so so so close to having the world at your fingertips, don't stop now! All of the doubts lingering are simply your old self trying to get you to stay where you are because this is new territory for you and it can feel scary. Don't let it win! Discomfort, uncertainty and doubt are signs that you're growing out of your old self concept and transitioning into a new state of awareness. Keep going! Take it little by little and know that you can do this. There's no "maybe I can", there's no "everyone can manifest but me". You can have and do absolutely anything you want except fail to manifest. I believe in you and I know you have what it takes to go the distance and manifest the life of your dreams. It's your birthright. You're God. Not a God, the God. Whatever you say has to and will pull through because you're limitless and inevitable, my love. You can do this!

For a bit of a twist I’m about to get a little mean for those of you that wanted this so if tough love isn’t your cup of tea keep scrolling

Is it not dumb as hell for you to be whining and bitching about not getting something you CAN get? Why are you crying over a situation YOU caused? you literally cannot lose unless YOU let that be an option. Enough complaining and crying WHEN are you gonna get tired of standing in your own way? You are the one who literally gets to determine whether or not you get your manifestations, how quickly you get them you are responsible for EVERYTHING. You’re the only one who’s capable of sabotaging that for you. It is literally nobody’s fault but your own if you’ve been struggling to manifest. At some point you just have to put your foot down and decide that you’re DONE not getting your desires and you’re TIRED of your own shit. All of it CAN be yours at YOUR command. Why are you victimizing yourself? Why are you having all these pointless intrusive thoughts about how you can’t manifest this or you can’t have that. WHY? Why are you making up fake bs ass scenarios in your head? Why are you focusing on shit you don’t want? Your only task is to think about what you DO want and forget about what you don’t. That’s such pathetic behavior coming from someone who’s limitless. I'm sorry. Worrying about what you don’t want is such a huge waste of time. The only thing that should be receiving your attention is your desires and nothing else. Enough of this victim complex of yours. You can have, you can do, you can be as you please without a single limit and here you are thinking you can’t have something or someone? Please. Don’t discredit yourself like that. Enough of you whining and bitching about this and that idc you’re getting your desires and that is FINAL. Stop getting in your own way B!TCH! “This is hard :(“ “No I can’t :(” no it isn’t and yes you can. Please stop crying about how you can’t manifest and how you are the exception now the hell you are not. The same god within me is the same God within you. Argue with the wall, I don’t wanna hear it. Anyway, when you’re done crying and whining, pick yourself back up and persist. You’re not gonna be a fucking loser on my watch.

TIME CRUNCH MANIFESTATIONS & THEIR ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

manifesting on a time crunch means manifesting something by a certain date. think of a school assignment: you have to submit it by a certain date, right? time crunch manifestations work like school assignments. time crunch manifestations are practical because you know exactly when you’ll get your desires! and they’re not at all more complicated than “basic” manifestations.

so, to manifest on a time crunch, set a “deadline” for your manifestation. some examples could be: “i’ll have a boyfriend in a week”, or “on monday i’ll get 1000 dollars”, or “by next month i’ll live in hawaii”. assume that these thoughts are true, persist, and you’ll get them exactly when you planned them! ain’t that exciting?? <3

How to Feign Your Life is Together

Have a signature accessory, clothing article, make up look, or hair style.

Have a fragrance. Make your hair scents and lotions match your perfume.

It’s okay to dine alone. Bring a book or people watch.

Love your hair. Research the best brands for your hair type and use masks weekly.

Your nails don’t need to be fancy, but keep them maintained.

Stay worldly. Know works of art, artists, designers, films, books, politicians. Spend your lunch break reading the paper or a magazine.

Crying is not a weapon. It’s okay to feel your emotions, but never use them as an excuse to avoid your problems.

Jealousy is boring. Love and appreciate others. If you can’t love them, forget them.

Boost others. Flatter others, but don’t deprecate yourself in the process.

Don’t sulk. Don’t let the whole world know your problems. If you don’t want someone to give their opinion, don’t share your situation.

Your life is between you and the universe. Don’t post your personal matters for others to see.

Don’t emotionally blackmail others. They hurt you? Let them know and then move on. It’s between the two of you and not the world.

Cook dinner. Cook dinner and listen to music, the radio, or a podcast.

Treat yourself to candles and flowers. Be your own cheerleader.

Take naps. Take a cat nap on a Sunday afternoon with the blinds open and the fan on high.

Drink your water, eat your vegetables. Take care of your body.

Never have time to take off your jewelry before bed, but always have time to take off your makeup. Your nighttime skin regime is important.

Mystery is beautiful. You don’t need to reveal much of or about yourself.

Never appear other than as you are. Don’t lie about yourself. Embrace who you are at your core.

Attune yourself to the energy of opulence, abundance, luxury. Hair conditioned and glossy with health. Skin clear and moisturized. Lashes long and curled. Clothes and jewelry top-tier quality. Living in the house of your dreams. Visualize it, embody it, feel it, manifest it. You deserve the best. You are wreathed in abundance and so it is.

When spells don’t work

Introduction to magic masterpost

Spells can go wrong for many, many reasons. I only have the experience to list a few. Unfortunately this will be a long post because I really want to try and explain these concepts thoroughly.

Not enough energy was raised

The bigger your goal, the more energy you need. Everyone has a natural limit of how much energy they can safely channel. This limit increases as you gain magical experience.

If you are trying to achieve something really improbable, you will need to raise more energy. In order to raise more energy you can do magical exercises to strengthen your astral body, practice channeling, and practice properly directing energy (try exercises like shielding, purification, charging, and enchanting objects.)

The spell was miscast

By this I mean, your had some bad programming in your spell.

You could have misstated your intent. This happens when what we actually want, and what we command the spell to do, are two different things. Here is an example:

You want more money so you do a general prosperity spell. You begin to feel good about life, you produce a lot of art, you get all your work done, and you feel like you have a lot of free time to enjoy yourself – but no money! You became more “prosperous” in your life, but because you did not accurately state your intent (“I want money”) your spell was essentially miscast.

On the other hand, sometimes spells are miscast simply because they were not put together very well. Depending on the style of magic you use, this could mean a lot of things. Here are some examples of ways spells could be miscast in my own style of magic:

I did not correctly charge the ingredients I am using

I did not call on the correct powers for the job

I tried to do too many things inside of one spell (like, trying to send one spell to do five jobs)

I did not correctly seal the spell

I did not correctly program the powers I called on and I misdirected them

If you think this may be an issue for you, simplify your spells. Try using only one ingredient or only your intent. Write simple spell goals and keep your spells very direct and specific. Also, try out different spell formats which may suit you better.

The target was not properly targeted

When you send a letter, you need a proper address that the Postal Service can identify. If you are doing a jar spell or an enchantment, then targeting is not a problem. You simply tie the spell right to that physical item. But if you are sending a spell to a different destination, you must accurately identify your target.

This can be done by using a physical taglock, such as fingernail clippings or hair. If you wish to target a person and don’t have their hair clippings, use a card with their full name, home address, and personal descriptions. The spirits and powers you work with can use this information to correctly target the person.

If you are attempting to target a situation or a non-physical concept, try using clear focus and vividly imagining the situation you wish to affect.

You do not have the experience to identify when magic works

Magic can act in very subtle ways. You know how cool people in action movies are like, “there are CIA agents who have been following us for five blocks!”? That is sometimes what working with magic feels like. It can take an experienced eye to determine what is ‘natural’ and what is ‘magical’.

Sometimes, people who are new to working magic are expecting very grandiose, showy manifestations that knock their socks off. Often, magic manifests gently and slowly. In this case, the magic didn’t fizzle – it just hasn’t been recognized.

Your spell just hasn’t manifested yet

Manifestation is an important part of spellwork. I believe spells need a foothold in the physical world in order to correctly manifest, and if that foothold isn’t there, then the spell will just wait around endlessly in the astral waiting until it can come down and do your work.

Manifesting a spell can be done by tying the spell to a physical object, like jewelry or a rock. Or, you can create opportunities for manifestation by doing physical actions. One example is turning in applications to help a job spell manifest.

The target had protections or defenses which deflected your spell

These defenses do not have to be intentional. Many people and places have natural defenses, whether or not they are magically inclined.

If you wish to target something that seems to have natural defenses, try sending spells to erode or destroy their protections. Or, try scrying or remote viewing so you can understand the nature of their protections and get around them.

Sometimes, getting around protections is as simple as using a different kind of energy. A very fiery person is not likely to be brought down with a spell charged by the Sun, for example.

Interested spirits or a third party stopped your spell

If your target has spirits interested in their well-being, those spirits may stop incoming spells. Even if you believe a spell is well-intentioned and will be beneficial to your target, spirits may have other ideas.

In addition, some witches or other magical practitioners may consider certain people or locations under their protection. If I believed my friends were under magical attack, I would take steps to protect them.

I do not believe that “the universe” will stop spells for your own good. I think the universe likes to let us land on our ass now and then to learn a good lesson. I also think tutelary spirits will let us make our own mistakes if we insist on it. But intervention by spirits or other people can be a possibility.

Your previous spellwork or personal protections are stopping spells from getting through

Suppose I cast a really intense protection on my home that allowed no spell to pass. Well, that would also mean none of my spells could get out.

Like software being run on an incompatible operating system, sometimes the magical framework you have set up for yourself can block your attempts at manifesting spells.

If you are worried that this is your problem, make a list of the spells you have cast on yourself and on your life, and what kind of protections and spirits you have working for you.

Try casting an uncrossing with special intent to allow your spells to flow freely. Also ask any spirits you work with to help sort out your situation and find what is blocking your spells. Consider taking down old, defunct protections and other spells which no longer serve you well.

You used energies contrary to your goal

If I wanted to cast a spell to bring peace, I would not use energies of fire, the Sun, or Mars. Even if I asked the fire to bring peace, that’s not really what fire does, you know?

This can be one downside of choosing to working with limited energies or forces. It’s like having a well balanced pokemon team. You need the ability to call different powers to your defense and your benefit.

If your spells aren’t working, ask yourself if you are working with a limited range of forces. Ask if the powers you use match the goals you want to achieve, and if the energies you use support your spells.

As I've continued working on my beginning grimoire, I've been mostly making pages as replacements for pages that I've come to think aren't so good or just take up needless space within the binder. These new pages reflect refinements in my understanding as I've continue reading up on serious magical practice. For example, as I've refined my understanding of galdr (or the singing and chanting of incantations), I've made this new page to start the section discussing galdr. I also thought that I'd try something with perspective in the illustration.

Omggg I just manifested my college degree, I guess university in my case. I dropped out of school this current spring semester because I dreaded it and it’s not for me 😭. I’ve manifested other things and I was like why don’t I manifest that I’ve already graduated and finished University. I haven’t successfully entered the void yet but I did SATs for three days at night. When I woke I went to my parents room to steal my moms skin care out of their bathroom and in a frame on their dresser was my degree….I’m 20 and I’ve “graduated” university 😩 Fuck school I finessed the system

I’m fucking shocked tho. Like I know I can have everything but when it comes I’m always shocked 😭. There’s a few jobs I’ve been eyeing that required a bachelors degree and now that I have one I’m gonna apply!! I want to move out of the state I live in and get a job in Newyork? But I also found a good job in Japan and Korea, so I’m deciding where I want to go!!

HOLY SHIT THAT’S FUCKING INCREDIBLE !! you have no idea how proud of you i am rn <3 i love how you said fuck uni and woke up with a college degree. that’s a true god, right there 👏
