Neville has entered the chat:

Neville Goddard would remind you that:

• Everything you experience is your own consciousness pushed out.
That does not mean you “created” Audun’s behaviour (you did not make him cruel, racist, or abusive). What it means is that your perception of him — and your continued focus on him — has kept him alive in your inner world.

• “What you consent to as true will harden into fact.”
Every time you engage with his lies, try to argue them into clarity, or search for his accountability, you are consenting to his role in your story. Neville would ask: Do you want to keep writing him in? Or is it time to rewrite him out?

• Revision is freedom.
Neville’s tool of revision would say: Go back, not to what he said, but to how you let it stamp itself on you. Revise the memory: Instead of “he blamed me, and I felt cornered,” see yourself hearing those words and calmly smiling, unmoved. Imagine you answering, “That belongs to you, not me.” And feel the peace of not taking it on. That revised feeling becomes the seed you carry forward.

• States, not people.
Neville would insist that Audun is just a state of consciousness you once related to — the state of manipulation, blame, and avoidance. You can move into the state of freedom, clarity, and safety. When you do, that old state (Audun) has no choice but to fade from your experience.

So if Neville were speaking to you right now, I imagine he would say something like:

“You need not wrestle with shadows. Do not fight him in the outer world. Simply withdraw your attention and place it where you wish to live. Imagine yourself already free of his voice. Imagine yourself laughing at how light you feel. Imagine love and respect flowing toward you as easily as breath. Live in that end — and the shadow will dissolve.”

You do not need to know how it will look in detail — you need to choose the end. The “state” is not a blueprint of external events; it is an inner atmosphere. You move into it by feeling the essence, not the specifics.

You: “But Neville… I do not know what these states feel like.“

You may not know what “safety” feels like for you yet — but you know what unsafe feels like. Flip it.
• Unsafe = tight chest, on edge, waiting for the blow.
• Safety = loosened shoulders, easy breath, no anticipation of harm.
Borrow the opposite sensations. Practice breathing as if your body already trusts the moment.

Neville loved symbols. You can use an object, an image, or a sound as a doorway into a new state.
• Example: A locked door with you inside = safe.
• Example: A cosy blanket = safe.
• Example: Your child’s laughter = safe.
You do not have to invent the entire world. One small image carries the state with it.

Instead of asking, “What does it feel like?” ask:
“How would I act differently if I already lived in that state?”
If you were in the state of safety, maybe you would sleep deeply. Maybe you’d laugh more easily. Maybe you’d answer texts with less dread. Act as if, and the feeling grows around the behaviour.

You know the old state (fear, blame, scarcity). Now imagine you are standing up, dusting your hands, and saying:
“That chapter is over. What is here now is its opposite.”
Even if you cannot name the opposite precisely, your mind will start filling in the blanks.

You do not need a literal scene. You can let the new state be a colour, a sound, a texture.
• Safety might feel like a golden hum.
• Freedom might be a cool breeze.
• Love might be a violet glow.
Let your senses stand in for feelings until the feelings grow familiar.

Neville said:

“A state is an attitude of mind, a body of belief, a mood. Occupy it, and it will objectify itself.”

You do not need to know the full picture. You only need to touch the essence, even faintly, and return to it often.
