How to Recreate People in your Life Neville Goddard Way!

Summary

This video explores the idea of recreating people in your life by changing your internal story about them. Drawing on Neville Goddard’s teachings, it emphasizes that people reflect your inner beliefs and assumptions, and that by shifting your perception, their behavior will change. The video explains how focusing on changing your own story, rather than trying to alter others directly, can transform your relationships. By letting go of past grievances and persistently imagining a new reality, you can recreate a person’s actions and improve your connection with them.

Q & A

What does Neville Goddard mean by 'people are only messengers telling you who you are'?

According to Neville Goddard, people in our lives reflect our inner beliefs and perceptions. They are not acting independently but are mirroring our own self-concept and attitudes toward them. Changing our self-concept leads to changes in how others behave toward us.

Why is it not a good idea to try to change someone directly?

Focusing on trying to change someone directly can create resistance and frustration. Instead, the key is to change your internal story about that person. By shifting your beliefs and expectations, their behavior will naturally reflect this new perception.

What does Neville Goddard mean by 'free will' in the context of relationships?

Neville Goddard suggests that the idea of free will is an illusion. What we experience in relationships is a reflection of our internal beliefs. While we have freedom of choice in how we relate to others, their actions toward us are influenced by the stories we tell ourselves about them.

How does changing your story about someone affect their behavior?

When you change your story about someone, you are shifting the underlying beliefs and assumptions you hold about them. This change in perception causes their behavior to shift in ways that align with your new internal narrative. They will start reflecting the more positive story you’ve created.

Can you provide an example of how changing a story about someone can lead to positive change?

Neville Goddard shared a story about his wife, whose boss constantly criticized her work. When Neville asked her to change the story she told herself about her boss, she started imagining him appreciating her work. Over time, her boss’s behavior changed, and he began acknowledging her efforts. This shift happened not by changing the boss directly, but by changing her internal narrative about him.

Why is it important to let go of resentment when trying to recreate someone?

Holding onto resentment or negative thoughts about a person keeps you stuck in the old story. In order to recreate someone, you need to release old grudges and beliefs that limit change. By adopting a fresh, positive perspective, you open the door for new behaviors to manifest in the other person.

What is the significance of 'imaginal acts' in changing relationships?

Imaginal acts are mental scenes or visualizations in which you imagine the person acting in the way you desire. By repeatedly visualizing these scenes, you impress this new narrative upon your subconscious, which in turn influences how that person behaves toward you.

How should you approach the process of imagining positive changes in someone's behavior?

When imagining positive changes, focus on the end result you desire—such as a person being kind or loving—without getting caught up in the middle of the process (like trying to get an apology). Create a short, vivid scene where the person consistently behaves in the way you want, and emotionally engage with that scene as if it's already happening.

How long does it take for someone's behavior to change once you alter your internal story?

The process can take time. The key is persistence—consistently reinforcing your new story and visualizations. While some changes may happen quickly, others may take longer, depending on how deeply ingrained the old narrative is and how consistently you maintain the new story.

What role does emotional alignment play in this process of recreating people?

Emotional alignment is crucial. If your emotions and inner state align with the new story you’re creating, the external reality will shift more quickly. This emotional engagement is what makes your imagination powerful and able to influence how others behave toward you.
