REVISION
The 'I Remember When' Technique
To manifest a desired state, mentally recall a past undesirable condition by saying to yourself, 'I remember when...' followed by the undesirable state. This…
Step by step
- Identify a current undesirable condition or lack.
- Go into a state of stillness and relaxation.
- Mentally say to yourself, 'I remember when...' followed by the undesirable condition (e.g., 'I remember when I didn't have a job').
- This statement implies that the condition is now in the past, and the desired state (having a job) is the present reality.
- Remain faithful to this implied new reality, ignoring the current sensory evidence.
- 1. Identify a desired outcome for a current situation (e.g., a developed building on an empty lot).
- 2. Stand in the present moment, mentally or physically, at the location or in the context of the situation.
- 3. Say to yourself, 'I remember when this was [the undesirable past state].'
- 4. Vividly paint a word picture or imagine the desired outcome as if it is already completed and real in the present.
- 5. Persist in this imaginative act until the feeling of its reality is strong.

To manifest a desired state, mentally recall a past undesirable condition by saying to yourself, 'I remember when...' followed by the undesirable state. This implies that the undesirable state is now in the past, and the desired state is the present reality. This technique is done in stillness, remaining faithful to the implied new reality despite current appearances.
That was his secret: I remember when… and then he painted the word picture. He knew exactly what he wanted for that lot.” Now, that was the secret. I awoke and wrote it down. Then I fell asleep again and redreamed the dream, but this time, instead of eavesdropping and hearing a man telling his children what his father did to become successful, I became the grandfather. I was not talking to others. I was simply communing with myself. And I was saying to myself, “I remember when this thing was only an empty lot. Well, look at it now!” Well, you could take that same technique and do it concerning anything in the world. “I remember when I didn’t have a job.” “I remember when he had no money.” If I say, “I remember when he had no money,” that would imply that now he has money. “I remember when he couldn’t contribute to any charitable cause in the world. In fact, he was on the receiving end!” That would imply that today he can contribute and he is on the receiving end. If you can stand perfectly still and assume that things are as you would like them to be, but at the moment they are not, well, then, you can say, “I remember when.” Now, remain faithful to the vision and forget the appearance of the moment.
This technique leverages the power of memory and implication. By mentally placing an undesirable past event in the past, one automatically assumes the present reality of the desired state. It's a form of revision and assumption, where the 'remembering' creates the new present.
I Remember When
To manifest a desire, stand in the present desired state and mentally recall the former undesirable state using the phrase "I remember when..." This act of remembering the past state implies its non-existence in the present, making way for the desired state to materialize. Vividly imagine the desired outcome as if it is already a present fact.
Your grandfather would stand on an empty lot and say: “I remember when this was an empty lot.’ Then he would paint a word picture of his desire for that lot so vividly that those who heard him could see it completed right before their eyes. This is the grandfather who made the fortune we are now enjoying.” ... Speaking to those present I said: “I remember when this was an empty lot.” Then I pictured the building placed there so vividly the very stones molded themselves into the form I envisioned.
