For having struggled with an anxious attachment in an earlier relationship, how does it feel for you to become more secure in a much different or more compatible relationship you are in now? — I am quite curious to hear if there are others who are at a place in their life still in their own "wound care" (healing) of being outside of an anxiously attached situation or of a previous unhealthy…

Why do most victims survive the harm, while perpetrators can’t cope with a slither of accountability? — Victims live with the pain. The fear. The long-term fallout. Not being believed.

Dissociation and disorientation to the year: people with CPTSD ever struggle with realizing how many years passed in survival mode? — Sometimes when I try to be present, I suddenly realize how many years have passed since the trauma.

It took me 2 days of thinking on this post to finally internally understand The Law of Belief vs acting as if. A person can get caught up in trying to take surface actions of acting as if, but still u…
Just a few questions Mr Moonbeam. If you are so against the “act/live as if” what do you have to say about Dr. Joe Dispenza, Gregg Braden and Dr. Bruce Liptons, Napoleon Hill, Jim Rohn, Eckhart Toll…

I'll take a deeper look into revision as that could be more effective for what I'm trying to accomplish (physical healing). I definitely get what you mean about the subconscious belief over conscious …
More pseudoscience from you (the first being that gravity is attractive- gravity is a warp in the space time continuum as it responds to mass, and only appears to be attractive to the uneducated). No…
If you accept it as true, yes (according to NG teachings). You created it through your beliefs/assumptions.
Hi! So I’m pretty new to this sub and currently trying to read up and decide what I think about AP. For a long time, I’ve believed that reality is a construct in the mind, or just a result of what our…
>you said that lucid dreaming is an internal experience while AP is a real and tangible one I said this, however that is not the total truth - the opposite can also be true, check out the video under…
Thank you! The diagram + stickied comment explain it well. And I'm glad I don't have to change tons of my beliefs, just expand them.
Well that's a limited belief right there.
a) law of assumption, not law of belief. And where did you get the other descriptions from? I've been on Neville sub for a while, literally noone describes the law in those words or speak in a spiritu…
I’ve read few posts that are as “loser”-ish as this one. I’ve yet to study either in depth, but for anyone to not only BELIEVE that they are better than a very large group of people (all of whom are v…
"Bro has an ego the size of the sun" and "bro is the definitionof a limiting belief"
Respectfully, this is what happens when you only focus on material aspects and totally disregard the "spiritual woo woo." I'm not saying everyone ever needs to be enlightened, but there's a reason why…
I just want to say, I’m am so happy to have found this sub! Oh how I’ve created so much in my life, with LOB (unconsciously) and more so just belief and the movie the secret that started it all. Then …
Has anyone read Grow Rich With The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind? Murphy references the founder of WhatsApp in chapter nine, yet he died in 1981… can anyone explain this? There are a few things in t…
Trying to download a skill or belief is wasting the experience of learning it. If you think you know what you need… then you’d already have had it… a lot of amazing insights and development of charact…
In my opinion focusing on two goals at once before you have a lot of success is just your unbelief talking. You don't believe you'll heal your issues through manifestation (at least for a while) so yo…
I reread what the OP wrote. They haven’t even started the training yet. She will continue to have these negative thoughts because they are doubts and unbelief from her SM. And she will continue to fe…
The world/universe runs on beliefs, not human reasoning. Human reasoning says it's unlikely that this will happen. But you can maintain the inner belief that you're an A student no matter what. Tha…
I personally think it's whatever works best for you. You can give it another name, you can imagine talking to yourself in spirit. It's not about the methods, it's about how you go about convincing you…
Thanks for your reply! Roughly how long did it take for your eye colour to change? Seeing as it’s such a deep-seated belief you have to change, was it a difficult mission?
To see noticeable changes, it took about 3 weeks. Mind you I was 13 at the time and not particularly motivated. I used a self hypnosis YouTube video (not necessary as I now know), which I only realize…
Seems like a classic case of unbelief. They fell for dumb loaporn nonsense. Of course it didn't work. Because they weren't taught to condition their SM.
As I said above, it's for people who has tons of disbelief, to start small and BUILD up. You, as in most people need faith to be built. Well.. My first moneymission I had 80k out of the blue, it's one…
That was an instant example I was giving as of today. Well, on bigger stuff: getting into Harvard with shit gmat scores on a full ride scholarship (miraculously some rich dude donated to the school, a…
Well, you can believe me or not, I have no incentive in lying. But the Neville sub has messed me up. Those LOA “teachers” there are messed up - and they don’t even know what they are talking about. “L…
It’s so funny how you act like you are an expert at this, but your profile tells a complete other story. A quick look at your profile shows someone who constantly asks for reassurance, needs help unde…
Yup you’re the one I was trying to reply to on that post about the lottery. You think things should only look one way and can only be manifested in one way and that’s a fallacy and a limited belief. T…
Just believing is one thing, subconscious faith towards your desire (not LOB particularly) is another thing. You lived your entire life based of your default beliefs without even knowing the Law. I sa…
Anecdotally, I am good at getting admitted to all-funded conferences, I used to say it’s just because I believe in it. Later on, I realized it turned into a pattern as I was lucky for getting into the…
1. That is why it’s called maladaptive daydreaming. The person does so to escape their current reality. They are not making actual changes, thinking different thoughts, reconditioning the subconscious…
1. Daydreaming that makes you feel emotional isn’t what Murphy or Goddard are talking about. It is about feeling the reality of what you want to have happen now, that is the feeling. Emotions might co…
Love these arguments. Point 1: There is a difference between hypnosis (true authentic feelings of experience of here and now of the desired outcome) and daydreaming. When you give your mind and your…
1. Mental thoughts don’t become physical reality. Beliefs do. Repetitive mental thoughts turn into beliefs. 2. People in your world reflect your beliefs. Perhaps upon meeting someone you had an origi…
I don’t accept that argument because manifestation gurus say that the mind doesn’t know the difference between imagined scenes and real events. When you provide proof that that’s clearly untrue, all o…
There is a very big difference between an unfocused daydream, in the third person, without intention or belief, vs a focused controlled self hypnosis/SATS session where you are focused on feeling the …
I agree that we don't truly know or understand the breadth of the Universe. That's why I'm against manifestation communities asserting that manifestation can be proven by science and claiming that it'…
You don’t even understand the point I’m making nor do you understand the essentials of it. But I’m happy, I want to gate keep this community lol but let me just tell you I’m getting my results. It ali…
Tbh you’re allowed to have your viewpoints but this is attention seeking behavior judging by your posts meant to get a reaction out of the people here. Also, why go on a Murphy sub for this? You alrea…
I responded in good faith, until someone pointed out, their stated goal is to eliminate any of these beliefs entirely. so, a troll
How is it not a law when it’s always true? Why are there multiple religions and ways of life? Because things have worked for people and have been proven to be true to people for centuries; millennia. …
Hm, no. Nice try. The NGCritics sub has dozens of archived stories of people who lost everything due to these teachings that would be otherwise censored and banned in the JM/NG subreddits. This subred…
I’ll take a crack at it Point 1: The answer is sm vs cm thought. Daydreaming is not focused with intent, the mind often wonders and you still feel it’s not true in the end or with emotions that are …
“If it’s isolating me, that would be my own doing” lol. You are brainwashed and in a cult. You sound exactly like the people in Jonestown did before they drank the kool aid. Cults have nothing to do w…

No, mental thoughts do not become physical reality. That would be a world of chaos. *Repetitive* mental thoughts become beliefs, and beliefs do. And this can be layered. You can wake up and have a t…
