How To Manifest Your Desires

Neville's technique of prayer begins with clearly defining a desire, then condensing it into a sensation or action of fulfillment. In a physically immobilized, sleepy state, one repeatedly experiences this imaginal act until it feels real, then either awakens or falls asleep in that feeling of completion.

It starts with desire, for desire is the mainspring of action. You must know and define your objective, then condense it into a sensation which implies fulfillment. When your desire is clearly defined, immobilize your physical body and experience, in your imagination, the action which implies its fulfillment. Repeat this act over and over again until it has the vividness and feeling of reality. Or, condense your desire into a single phrase that implies fulfillment such as, "Thank you Father," "Isn't it wonderful," or "It is finished." Repeat that condensed phrase, or action in your imagination over and over again. Then either awaken from that state, or slip off into the deep. It does not matter, for the act is done when you completely accept it as being finished in that sleepy, drowsy state.

This is a concise summary of Neville's core manifestation technique, emphasizing desire as the starting point, the importance of a clear objective, the power of condensed imaginal acts, and the critical role of the feeling of fulfillment in a relaxed, SATS state for the act to be 'done.'
