Why? Because you already are in Barbados!
Most of us, who are familiar with Neville Goddard´s teachings, have heard this one before. For those of you, who don´t know much about Neville- and the statement mentioned above does not make any sense to- I´ll explain a little further.
So the statement is one of the most important one- if not THE most important one at least for me- to really understand Neville´s teachings as well as everything he generally talks about. It is from Neville´s earlier experiences with the teachings of the law by his teacher/mentor and friend Abdullah. Back then Neville desired to spend Christmas in Barbados with his family, but he didn´t have money to travel. He went to Abdullah and asked for advice and he told him to imagine being in Barbados and falling asleep with that truth. Neville went and did as he was told. After weeks had passed and he didn´t see any results, he approached his mentor several times for help.- That´s when Abdullah would turn his back on Neville and slam the door! That way he was teaching him to have faith and continue to live in his end. Not too long after the last door slamming, Neville received a letter from his brother Victor. In that letter, he expressed his wish to have Neville home for Christmas. Victor also sent money with that letter and informed Neville about the reservation of a seat for him on the boat to Barbados- which left 2 days after the receipt of his brother´s letter.
I love this story so much because it shows the simplicity of this law. And yes, it is really meant to be that simple! If it´s not, slam the door!
- If you have a question about your desire and ….slam the door!
- If you want to know if you are doing it right…. slam the door!
- If you think you are doing something wrong…slam the door!
- If you are doing anything but living in your end … SLAM THE DOOR!
Short, if you are not having the feeling of your wish fulfilled, thinking about what to do to get it or asking several people what to do (AFTER you have already imagined, scripted, etc your desire) …that´s the perfect time to SLAM THE DOOR!
WHY? Because the moment you express your desire, it is already yours! The only thing left to do here is to choose the state of the wish fulfilled.
HOW? Stay on top of your thoughts and use mental diet to gain your control back. The only thing standing in the way of you and your manifestation is your inner conversation, which mirrors the still active limiting beliefs. Once you master your thoughts there is nothing else that can stop your desires from coming to pass. Faith comes naturally once your inner talking matches your desired outcome.
Does it mean you should never ask questions? NO, of course not! Feel free to ask as many questions as you want. But if your question is related to the How- which is not of your concern- you are messing with the middle and not living in your end. And the other thing about asking questions in regards to your desire is that the answer- in 99,9% of the time- will be “Go back to your end”.
So just live in the state of already having what you want!
What if you look silly doing so and other people look at you? Guess what, they don´t even exist! They are mere images of your previous thoughts- yes, of your manifestations.- Don´t forget that you are the only existing thing in your world! Everything else is just there, because you put it there! Yes, you indeed have that much power!
AND the entertainment of limiting feelings or situations is the only reason they keep showing up in your experience. Once you understand that things have only the power you give them, everything changes!
Next time you feel like reacting simply say to yourself “I no longer need you (whatever it is). Thank you!” then walk off …..and SLAM THE DOOR!
