0:00There's a conversation going on in your
0:01head right now. It started before I said
0:03that. You didn't choose the subject. You
0:05didn't choose the tone. And if you
0:07listen for about 4 seconds, you'll catch
0:09it still going underneath my voice. That
0:11conversation built the life you're
0:13sitting in tonight. Not your [music]
0:14effort, not your discipline, not what
0:16you deserved or didn't. That a man named
0:19Neville Goddard said this 400 times. He
0:22wasn't a priest and he wasn't a
0:23professor. He was a dancer. came to New
0:25York from Barbados with nothing and
0:27spent 40 years standing in front of
0:29ordinary people telling them one thing
0:31over and over until he died. And almost
0:34nobody who quotes him does it. They do
0:36the famous parts. Assume the feeling,
0:38live in the end. Imagination creates
0:41reality. All real all over the internet.
0:43And not one of them the thing he kept
0:45coming back to. Because the famous parts
0:47are something you do for 10 minutes in
0:49the morning. This runs all day. It's
0:51been running for 40 years in some of
0:53you. And it's been saying the same
0:54handful of things about And it's been
0:56saying the same handful of things about
0:57money and about people about money and
0:59about people like you since you were a
1:01child. And you have never once argued
1:03with it because it doesn't sound like a
1:05voice. [music] It sounds like you. So
1:07that's what I'm going to show you. What
1:08it is, where it got its script, and the
1:11one thing Neville told people to do
1:12about it, which takes about 2 minutes,
1:14happens lying down, and costs nothing.
1:17Here's how we'll go. Five principles.
1:20Five things he taught in his own words
1:22in the order they build on each other.
1:23[music] The first is the frame, what he
1:26thought the world actually is. The
1:28second is where the lever sits. It's two
1:30words long. You've had hold of it your
1:32whole life and you've been pulling it
1:34the wrong way. The third is the
1:36mechanism. How something inside you
1:38turns into something that happens on a
1:40Tuesday. The fourth is why this has
1:42never worked for you before, including
1:44the years you tried properly. And the
1:46fifth is the conversation, the one
1:48that's running right now. That's where
1:50the technique comes from. And that's the
1:52part I want you to stay for because it's
1:54the only piece on this list that changes
1:56anything on its own. Then I'll give you
1:58the technique and you can run it
1:59tonight. One thing before the first
2:01principle because it's not how any of us
2:03were raised. Everything you've ever been
2:05told about changing your life is about
2:07changing what you can see. work harder,
2:10save more, move, lose the weight, leave
2:12the job, fix what's in front of you, and
2:15you've done it for decades. You took the
2:18second job, you got the raise, and 4
2:20months later, the number was back where
2:22it started, and you couldn't entirely
2:23say how. Something came up. Something
2:26always comes up. The car, the roof, the
2:29thing with your son, the bill you'd
2:31honestly forgotten about. And every one
2:33of those had a perfectly good
2:34explanation, which is exactly why it
2:37never occurred to you to look at what
2:38they all had in common. You've been
2:40doing that since you were 25. And
2:42sitting here, you can feel how tired
2:44that is. Neville spent his whole life
2:47saying the furniture isn't the room. He
2:49didn't think the visible world, your
2:51account, your work, your body, the way
2:53people talk to you caused anything. He
2:56thought it was the result, the print
2:58out, the last step in something that
3:00happens somewhere you've never been
3:01shown how to look. Which means what
3:03you've been doing all these years isn't
3:05wrong. It's late. You've been correcting
3:07the output while the input kept running.
3:10That's the whole argument. And
3:12everything in the next 20 minutes
3:13depends on which one of those two is
3:15true. So what he actually said,
3:18principle one, his most famous line,
3:21you've heard it quoted and you've
3:22probably never been told what it means.
3:24The world is yourself pushed out. Seven
3:27words. People put it on coffee mugs. And
3:30nearly everyone who repeats it hears it
3:32as encouragement. Think good thoughts.
3:34Good things come. That is not what he
3:36was saying. He meant it mechanically.
3:38His claim was that there's no gap
3:40between what you are on the inside and
3:42what shows up on the outside. No delay
3:44with a reward at the end. No universe
3:47watching you and deciding what you've
3:48earned. The outer is the inner already
3:51arrived. pushed out the way metal gets
3:53pressed through a mold and comes out the
3:55shape of whatever pressed it. So, when
3:57you look at your life and ask why it's
3:59like this, you're asking the wrong
4:01thing. You're holding a print out and
4:03asking the paper why it says what it
4:04says. And you can test this yourself
4:06tonight, which is the part I like about
4:08it. Think of the last time things
4:10actually got better for a while and then
4:12quietly came back. Not a disaster, a
4:15drift. You didn't do anything to cause
4:17it. The outside came back to meet the
4:19inside. The way water finds its level in
4:21a glass no matter how you tilt it,
4:23that's not bad luck. That's a level.
4:26Now, here's where it stops being
4:28philosophy. Picture a man, call him Ray.
4:31Ray has never had much, but things work
4:33out for him. He loses a job and
4:35something turns up inside a month. His
4:37truck dies and it turns out a neighbor's
4:39brother does that for a living. You
4:40know, Aray, you've watched it happen for
4:42years and quietly decided he was lucky.
4:45He's not luckier than you. He's carrying
4:47something different and it's pushing out
4:49something different. And you know the
4:51other kind too, the person things keep
4:53happening to the same misfortune in a
4:55different costume decade after decade
4:58until nobody around them is surprised
5:00anymore. Neville's position was that
5:02neither of those people is being treated
5:03differently by the world. They're being
5:05accurately reflected by it. Now, I know
5:08exactly how that lands, so let me deal
5:10with it right here. If the outside is
5:12the inside pushed out, then everything
5:14that's gone wrong is your fault. That's
5:17where most people arrive. That's where
5:19most people stop. And it's not what he
5:21said. He never once said you chose it.
5:23He said it was set. And set mostly
5:26before you were old enough to have a say
5:27in it. By the house you grew up in. By
5:30something you overheard through a wall
5:31when you were seven. By a hundred small
5:33conclusions you came to about money and
5:35about what people like you get and then
5:37never went back and checked. You didn't
5:39choose it. you inherited it and you've
5:41been pushing it out ever since without
5:43knowing that's what you were doing.
5:45Which is the good news because a thing
5:47that was set can be set again. And he
5:49was extremely specific about where you
5:51do that. That's principle two. Principle
5:54two, where the lever is. I said at the
5:57start, it's two words long. Here they
5:59are. I am. That's the whole lever. And
6:02Neville built 40 years of work on top of
6:04it. Those two words aren't a
6:06description. They're a handle. Whatever
6:08you attach to them stops being a report
6:10and turns into an instruction. Say, "I
6:12am broke and you haven't stated a fact.
6:15You've placed an order and you've been
6:17doing it out loud in your own kitchen
6:19for 30 years. I am no good with money. I
6:22am the one who makes do. I am too old
6:24for all that now." You thought you were
6:26being realistic. You were being
6:28instructive. So, the question is what
6:30you attach to it instead. It's got to be
6:32something that can't be disputed because
6:34there's a prosecutor in your head who's
6:35won every one of these cases so far.
6:38Four words. But the condition comes
6:40first because it decides whether they do
6:42anything at all. You have to say them
6:44without reaching. Say them while you're
6:46straining toward a number and nothing
6:48happens. Not less, nothing. That one
6:51condition is the whole dividing line.
6:53Here they are. I am ready to receive.
6:56Sit with that a second. I am ready to
6:59receive. Now look at what it's doing
7:01because every word in there is
7:03loadbearing. You've already got the
7:04first two. That's the handle and it's
7:06attached now. So whatever follows it
7:08isn't a wish anymore. Ready. Not trying,
7:12not working on it, not nearly there.
7:14Ready is the one thing in that sentence
7:16you can't possibly be wrong about
7:18because it doesn't lean on a single
7:20thing outside of you. You can be ready
7:22standing in a kitchen with $11 in the
7:24account and there isn't a person or a
7:26bank or a Tuesday in the world that can
7:28contradict you. And receive, not get,
7:31not earn, not deserve. Receiving is the
7:34only one of those that asks nothing of
7:36you, which is exactly why it's the
7:38hardest word in the sentence for people
7:39your age. Think about it. For 40 years,
7:42you've been the one who gives. You
7:44covered it. You went without so somebody
7:46else didn't have to. You were the one
7:48everybody came to. and you never once
7:50went to anybody and you got so good at
7:52bracing that your body does it now
7:54without being asked. You can probably
7:56feel it doing it while I say this.
7:58Receiving isn't something you've
7:59refused. It's something you've forgotten
8:01how to do. And notice what the sentence
8:03never says. It never names an amount and
8:06it never names a day. There's nothing in
8:08those four words for the arguing part of
8:10you to go and check, which is exactly
8:12why it gets through when everything else
8:14bounced off. Now get it out of your head
8:16and on to something. the comments down
8:18below this video and I'll tell you why
8:20there specifically because it isn't the
8:22reason you're expecting. Something you
8:24only ever said to yourself can be taken
8:26back at midnight and nobody's any the
8:28wiser. Something you typed where
8:30strangers can read it has a witness.
8:32You've signed it and you'll know you
8:34signed it, which is the entire point and
8:36the arguing part of you hates it, which
8:38is how you know it's working. So the
8:41sentence and then the one thing you've
8:43spent years braced against receiving.
8:45Not a figure, the thing itself. So it
8:47reads like this. I am ready to receive.
8:50Help without having to ask twice. I am
8:53ready to receive. A year where nothing
8:55has to be stretched. I am ready to
8:57receive. Being looked after for once.
9:00That last one's the hardest to type and
9:02I know it. If it's the one that's true,
9:04type it anyway. Nobody down there is
9:06going to think less of you. Half of them
9:08are carrying the identical thing and
9:10haven't said it to a living soul. Go put
9:12yours down. 20 seconds out of everything
9:15I'm giving you tonight. That's the one
9:17piece that works on its own without any
9:19help from me. And hit subscribe before
9:21you scroll back up. One reason, then
9:23I'll leave it be. What you just did
9:25happens once. The thing I'm going to
9:27give you at the end of this video
9:29happens every night. And every night is
9:31where this either becomes your life or
9:33becomes a video you half remember
9:35watching. And what decides it isn't
9:37willpower, and it isn't how badly you
9:39want it. It's day 19. Day 19 is when the
9:42novelty's gone, nothing's visibly moved,
9:45and that old voice makes a calm and
9:47perfectly reasonable case that you
9:48should stop. Day 19 takes almost
9:51everybody, and it takes them quietly.
9:53This channel is just a voice that's
9:55still here on day 19 saying the same
9:57thing it said on day one. So, if you'd
10:00rather be running this a month from now
10:01than vaguely recalling it, subscribe and
10:04let the next one find you on its own.
10:06Right back to it. Because knowing where
10:08the lever is doesn't tell you how it
10:10works. You can say those four words
10:12tonight and mean every one of them. And
10:14tomorrow morning, the world will look
10:16exactly like it looked today. The
10:18account won't have moved. Nobody will
10:20have called. That's not failure. That's
10:22the mechanism doing precisely what it's
10:24supposed to do. But nobody ever explains
10:26that part. So when it happens, people
10:28draw the only conclusion available to
10:30them, that it didn't take, that it works
10:32for other people, that there's something
10:34different about them, and they put it
10:36down inside a week, about 4 days before
10:38the thing they'd set in motion would
10:40have shown up. So let me show you how it
10:42actually travels from a sentence in your
10:44kitchen to something that happens on a
10:46Tuesday. Principle three, how it
10:48travels. This is the part that was
10:50missing every other time you tried
10:52something like this. And once you've got
10:54it, you'll stop quitting early because
10:56you'll know what you're looking at.
10:57Neville had a phrase for it. He called
10:59it the bridge of incidents. Here's what
11:01he meant. When the inside changes, the
11:04outside doesn't jump. It builds a
11:06bridge. And the bridge is made out of
11:07ordinary events. Small ones, dull ones,
11:10ones that each have a perfectly
11:12reasonable explanation of their own. So
11:14nothing lands in your lap. What happens
11:16instead is that a sequence starts and
11:19every plank in it looks like nothing
11:20much. Let me make that concrete because
11:22it's the whole principle. Say the thing
11:24you're ready to receive is not having to
11:26count anymore. The bridge doesn't start
11:28with money. It starts with you taking a
11:30different way home and noticing a sign
11:32in a window or somebody at church
11:34mentioning their sister's situation and
11:36you asking one question you wouldn't
11:38normally have asked or you finally
11:40opening a letter you'd been leaving on
11:41the counter for 2 weeks and the number
11:43inside it being different from the
11:45number you'd been carrying in your head.
11:47None of those is a result. Not one of
11:49them would make it into a story you tell
11:50anybody. They're planks. And I'll give
11:53you the other half of it because the
11:54bridge usually runs through a person. It
11:56very often does. Somebody remembers you
11:59at the moment they happen to be standing
12:00next to the person who needed you. You
12:02didn't arrange that and you couldn't
12:04have. You were simply the name that came
12:06up. And the only thing that changed on
12:08your end was that you'd stopped carrying
12:09yourself like somebody whose name
12:11doesn't come up. And here's why nobody
12:13recognizes them. Each plank arrives
12:15looking exactly like an ordinary
12:17Tuesday. and you've been trained your
12:19whole life to only count the arrival. So
12:21the bridge gets built right under you
12:23and you walk across it saying nothing's
12:25happening. Now why would an assumption
12:27produce a bridge at all? Two reasons and
12:29neither one is mystical. The first is
12:32that it changes what you can see. Your
12:34attention has been filtering the world
12:35for decades according to what you
12:37believe is available to you. Things that
12:39don't fit the belief don't get through.
12:41They're not hidden. They're just not
12:42flagged. change what you're assuming and
12:45the filter changes and things that were
12:47in front of you last week suddenly
12:48register. The second is that it changes
12:51what you do without deciding to. You
12:53answer differently. You stay in a
12:54conversation 30 seconds longer. You say
12:57the thing instead of swallowing it. You
12:59don't talk yourself out of asking.
13:00Neville said, "Assumption hardens into
13:03fact." That's the sentence. And the word
13:05doing the work in it is hardens. not
13:07appears, not arrives, hardens the way
13:10concrete does slowly from the inside
13:13while nothing on the surface appears to
13:15be going on at all. If you poured a slab
13:17on Monday and stood over it Tuesday
13:18morning, you'd swear it hadn't taken.
13:21You'd be standing on something that was
13:22already setting. That's the hardening.
13:24And it happens across the bridge, one
13:27unremarkable plank at a time over days,
13:30never in an event. So when tomorrow
13:32looks like today, that's not nothing
13:34happening. That's plank one and you're
13:36standing on it. Principle four. Why this
13:38has never worked for you, including the
13:40times you did it properly, especially
13:43those times because you have done this
13:44before. You've had the morning where
13:46something lifted and you thought,
13:48"Right, I've got it." And by about 4 in
13:50the afternoon, it was gone and you
13:52couldn't say where it went. Here's what
13:53actually happened. And it's got nothing
13:55to do with discipline and nothing to do
13:57with how much of it you believed. You
13:59said it once and then you spent the next
14:0114 hours taking it back. Not out loud.
14:03You'd never say it out loud, but you
14:05went to the store and did the arithmetic
14:07standing in the aisle. You saw the bill
14:09and your stomach dropped before you'd
14:11even opened it. You thought about the
14:12conversation you've got to have with
14:14your daughter at the weekend and ran it
14:15through three times. And in all three
14:17versions, it went badly. You rehearsed
14:20the bad one. And here's the part that
14:21should genuinely annoy you. That
14:23rehearsal is the same faculty, the
14:26identical one. Running an argument with
14:28your daughter three times before it
14:29happens is assuming. It's just assuming
14:31something you don't want with total
14:33conviction in vivid detail and without
14:36even noticing you've done it. So, you
14:38were never bad at this. You've been
14:39doing it expertly every day, aimed
14:41backwards for 40 years. Add it up. 90
14:45seconds of the new assumption against 14
14:47hours of the old one every single day.
14:49And then people say this stuff doesn't
14:51work. It worked. It built exactly the
14:53bridge you were mostly on. Now, I need
14:55to say something here because this is
14:57the exact point where people turn it on
14:59themselves. And that's not where I'm
15:01going with it. You weren't being weak.
15:03Nobody taught you that the 14 hours
15:05counted. Every method you've ever been
15:07handed is a thing you do for a few
15:08minutes and then get on with your day,
15:10which is like turning the heating on and
15:12leaving every window in the house open.
15:14So, the real problem was never your
15:16morning. Your mornings were fine. The
15:18problem is what runs in the 14 hours.
15:20And that's the thing I opened this video
15:22with, the conversation. The one that's
15:24still going right now underneath my
15:26voice. That's principle five. That's
15:28where the technique lives. Before I give
15:30it to you, one piece of housekeeping,
15:32and it'll be quick. There's a membership
15:34on this channel now, and I'll tell you
15:35straight who it's actually for. It's for
15:37day 19. Everything I've given you
15:39tonight is easy for about 2 weeks. Then
15:42the bridge is still being built. You
15:44still can't see it, and you're standing
15:45on a plank that looks exactly like every
15:47other plank, and you have to hold the
15:49assumption anyway with nothing coming
15:51in. Almost nobody does that alone. Not
15:53because they're weak, because there's
15:55nobody in the house who knows they're
15:56doing it. That's what the room is.
15:58People at the same point counting the
16:00same days, saying it out loud to each
16:02other so it stays real. In there, I
16:04answer you by name. I see your first
16:06month. If you go quiet, I notice it's a
16:09few dollars, less than you'd spend on a
16:11coffee you've already forgotten. And if
16:13money's tight right now, don't. I mean
16:15that plainly. You've got the whole
16:17method in this video for nothing. And it
16:19works the same either way. But if you've
16:21already decided, not hoping, decided,
16:23the link's under this video and I'd like
16:25to watch this one happen for you. Right,
16:28principle five. Principle five, the law
16:30of inner conversation. This is the one
16:33he said 400 times, and it's the one I
16:35opened this video with, and we're
16:37finally at it. Neville's claim was this.
16:40You are at every moment having a
16:42conversation with yourself. And that
16:44conversation, not your words out loud,
16:46not your actions, not your prayers, is
16:48what's being made into your life. He
16:51called it inner talking. And he said,
16:53"Most people's inner talking is an
16:55argument with somebody who isn't in the
16:57room." So, let me ask you something. In
16:59the last 24 hours, who have you had a
17:01conversation with in your head that
17:03never actually happened? There was one,
17:05probably more than one. Maybe you
17:07explained yourself to somebody who's
17:09never going to apologize. Maybe you
17:11rehearsed telling your son something and
17:13he said the thing back that he always
17:14says. Maybe you had a whole exchange
17:16with a man at a bank. Now, what was the
17:19tone of it? Not the words, the tone.
17:22Because that's the part that's building.
17:24And I'd guess it was defensive. Most
17:26people's is. You were justifying or you
17:28were bracing or you were explaining why
17:30it isn't your fault. And Neville's
17:32position was that you weren't wasting
17:33time in there. You were working. You
17:36were building in detail with real
17:38feeling a life in which you have to keep
17:40justifying yourself. Think about what we
17:43said earlier. Assumption hardens into
17:45fact. Well, what are you assuming when
17:47you spend 20 minutes defending yourself
17:49to somebody who isn't there? You're
17:51assuming you're the kind of person who
17:52has to. And you've been running that
17:54same conversation with small variations
17:57for how long? 10 years? Longer? There's
18:00a smaller version of it, too. And it
18:01runs all day. It's what you say to
18:03yourself when you drop something in the
18:05kitchen, when you read a letter, when
18:07you catch yourself in a window. What do
18:09you call yourself in those moments?
18:11Because most people your age have a name
18:13they use and it isn't a kind one. And
18:15they've used it so many thousands of
18:17times that it doesn't register as speech
18:19anymore. It's just the noise the room
18:21makes. That's inner talking, too. That's
18:24the same faculty going off 20 times a
18:26day unsupervised. Here's the thing that
18:28should stop you. You already know the
18:30inner conversation works. You've watched
18:33it work your whole life. You've just
18:35only ever seen it work in one direction.
18:37You know the feeling of dreading a phone
18:39call, running it through four times, and
18:41then having it go exactly the way you
18:43ran it. You've said it out loud
18:44afterward. I knew it. I knew that's how
18:47it would go. You didn't know. You
18:49rehearsed. And when somebody tells you
18:51that's just pessimism being realistic,
18:53ask them why the thing you rehearsed
18:55arrived on time and the thing you hoped
18:57for didn't. And I know the objection
18:59because it's the first thing anybody
19:01says to me about this. Fine. So, I'll
19:04just think nicer things. People have
19:06been telling me to stay positive for 30
19:08years and look where I'm standing.
19:10That's a fair objection and it's not
19:11what he taught. Positive thinking is you
19:14standing outside your life saying things
19:16about it. Inner conversation is what you
19:18say inside it when you're not performing
19:20for anybody, including yourself. You can
19:23affirm abundance in the mirror at 7 and
19:25spend the drive to work in a silent
19:27argument about money and the drive is
19:29what counts because the drive is what
19:31you believe. That's the difference and
19:33it's the whole difference. So the
19:35question isn't how do I stop the
19:37conversation. You can't. It's been
19:39running since you were a child and it
19:41doesn't have an off switch. The question
19:43is can you get in there once a day and
19:45change what it's saying? And that's the
19:48technique. Here it is and it takes about
19:502 minutes. You do it tonight lying down
19:53in that last stretch before sleep takes
19:55you. Neville had a name for that window.
19:57He called it the state akin to sleep.
19:59Here's what he meant. As you drift off,
20:02the part of your mind that argues, the
20:04part that's beaten every affirmation
20:05you've ever tried, clocks off before the
20:08rest of you does. For a few minutes,
20:10you're awake enough to direct your
20:11thoughts and too far gone to object to
20:13them. Here's what gets me about it. The
20:16man had no equipment and no laboratory.
20:18He was describing something sleep
20:20researchers now study directly. They
20:22call it hypnogogia. Brainwave recordings
20:25at sleep onset show the alert rhythms
20:27dropping away and slower theta activity
20:29coming up. And in that window, people
20:31are measurably more open to suggestion
20:34and more likely to accept an imagined
20:36scene as something that happened.
20:37[music] It's also where a
20:39disproportionate number of people get
20:40their ideas, which is why so many of us
20:42have reached for a notepad at midnight.
20:45He worked that out in 1940s living rooms
20:47from nothing but paying attention. So,
20:50here's what you do with it. Don't
20:51picture a bank balance. Don't picture an
20:53object. Those don't work and you've
20:55already tried them. Instead, you
20:57construct a conversation, a short one,
21:00the one you'd be having a few days after
21:01the thing already worked out. And it's
21:04got to be an afterwards conversation,
21:06not somebody telling you it's going to
21:07happen. Somebody responding to the fact
21:09that it did. So, it might be your
21:12daughter on the phone saying, "I'm so
21:14glad, Mom. You sound different." It
21:16might be a friend saying, "When did that
21:18come through?" It might be your own
21:20voice saying, "Thank you to somebody and
21:22meaning it." Two or three lines. That's
21:24all it ever needs to be. Short is
21:27better. A long scene gives you something
21:29to manage, and managing is being awake.
21:32Then you loop it. You run those same
21:34lines again gently, the way a song gets
21:36stuck. And you let yourself be in the
21:39conversation rather than watching it. If
21:41your attention wanders, bring it back.
21:43If you fall asleep in the middle of it,
21:45that's not failing. That's the best
21:47possible outcome, and it's exactly what
21:49he said to aim for. Two things people
21:51get wrong, and I'd rather say them now
21:53than have you write to me about them in
21:55a week. The first is that it'll feel
21:57like lying. The first few nights, some
21:59part of you will be going, "This is not
22:01true. She didn't say that. None of this
22:04happened. Let it say so. You're not
22:06trying to convince it. You're just
22:07putting the lines through while it's
22:09half asleep and too tired to litigate.
22:11Conviction isn't the entry fee here.
22:14Repetition is. The second is the
22:16morning. Do not wake up and check. Don't
22:19look at the account. Don't scan the day
22:20for a sign. Don't ask yourself whether
22:22it's working. Checking is the arguing
22:25part getting back on shift. And it
22:27undoes the night in about 4 seconds. You
22:29ran it. It's in. The bridge is being
22:32built. Go make the coffee. And notice
22:34what you've done. You've taken the
22:36faculty you've been using backwards for
22:3840 years, rehearsing the call that goes
22:40badly, and you've pointed it at the call
22:42that goes well. Same machinery, same
22:45vividness, same conviction, different
22:47direction, same 2 minutes you were going
22:50to spend lying there worrying anyway.
22:52So, let me put the whole thing in one
22:54place so you can hold it without
22:55rewinding. One, the world is yourself
22:58pushed out. your account, your work, the
23:01way people speak to you. That's the
23:03print out, not the cause. You've spent
23:0540 years correcting the printout. Two,
23:08the lever is I am. Whatever you attach
23:11to those two words becomes an
23:13instruction. Yours is I am ready to
23:16receive. Three, it travels by a bridge
23:18of incidents. Small, dull, deniable
23:21events, one plank at a time, each with a
23:24perfectly ordinary explanation of its
23:26own. Tomorrow looking exactly like today
23:28isn't nothing happening. That's plank
23:30one and you're standing on it. Four,
23:33Neville's mental diet. 90 good seconds
23:36against 14 hours of rehearsing the
23:38opposite is why this has never worked
23:39for you. Five, the inner conversation is
23:42the thing. It's running now. It's been
23:45running for decades and it's the only
23:47part of this you can actually get your
23:48hands on. And the technique tonight as
23:51you go under two or three lines of an
23:53afterwards conversation on a loop.
23:56That's all of it. Nothing else to learn,
23:58nothing to buy. Now, if you wrote your
24:00sentence earlier, go back down and add
24:02one line underneath it. Just the first
24:04line of your afterwards conversation,
24:06the thing you want somebody to say to
24:08you once it's already done. And write it
24:10the way they'd actually say it. Not a
24:12wish. Their words, their voice, the way
24:15they'd phrase it on a Tuesday. If you
24:17can hear it when you read it back,
24:18you've got the line you're using
24:20tonight. And read one other person's
24:22while you're there. Somebody down there
24:23typed something tonight that they've
24:25never told a soul and you're the only
24:27one who's going to see it. Say you hope
24:29it comes. 10 seconds costs you nothing.
24:32And it's the only thing in those
24:33comments that anybody will remember
24:35tomorrow. And if this one landed,
24:37subscribe. Not as a favor. You're going
24:39to run this tonight. Almost everybody
24:41does. The first night is easy. The
24:44question is day 19 when nothing's
24:46visibly moved and stopping would be the
24:48reasonable thing to do. The people who
24:50are still going at that point aren't
24:52tougher than you. Somebody was just
24:53still saying it to them. Before you go
24:55though, there's one more, and it's the
24:57strangest thing he ever taught.
24:59Everything tonight points forward. You
25:02set the assumption, and the bridge
25:03builds out ahead of you. But he also
25:05said you can go backwards. He said, "The
25:07event in your past that you think made
25:09you this way. The thing somebody said to
25:11you, the year it all came apart, the
25:13conversation you still hear isn't
25:16finished." He said, "Memory isn't a
25:18record. It's a living thing and you can
25:20go back into it and run it differently
25:22and that when you do the version of you
25:24it produced changes too. One last thing
25:27and this one's bigger than everything I
25:29just told you. Everything tonight points
25:31forward. Neville said you can go
25:33backwards. That thing in your past, the
25:36words somebody said to you, the year it
25:38all came apart. He said it isn't
25:40finished. It's still open. You can go
25:42back in tonight and run it differently
25:44and the version of you it made changes
25:46with it. He called it revision. He did
25:49it every night of his life. That video
25:51is on your screen right now. Go and
25:53watch it before you sleep because
25:55tonight's technique moves twice as fast
25:57once that's out of the way. Go on, click
25:59it.
