Understanding the Law of Assumption intellectually is one thing; applying it to transform your life is another. Neville taught that the difference between those who manifest their desires and those who don't lies not in knowledge but in disciplined practice. In Part 1, we explored the fundamental principles. Now, we enter the practical realm. Neville developed specific and reproducible techniques to shift your consciousness and embody the assumption of your fulfilled desire. These are not vague visualizations or positive affirmations, they are precise methods rooted in understanding how awareness actually works. In this section, we will explore four interconnected techniques that form the backbone of Neville's practical teaching: the power of Feeling, the precision of Imagination, the correction of Revision, and the advanced integration of SATS.

The Foundation: Feeling Is the Secret

If imagination is the creative force, feeling is the activating power. Neville's most famous book is titled 'Feeling Is the Secret' for a reason: without feeling, nothing manifests. This is perhaps the most misunderstood and most critical principle of his teaching.

Why Feeling Is More Important Than Thinking

Feeling bypasses the analytical mind and speaks directly to your subconscious and your nervous system. This physiological change signals to your subconscious: 'This is now real.'

The Practice: How to Cultivate Feeling

Cultivating feeling is about genuine emotional resonance with your desire already fulfilled. Here is the precise method Neville taught:

Feeling Without the Image (Advanced Technique)

If visualization is difficult, Neville taught that feeling alone is sufficient. Feeling is the effective operating principle.

The Step-by-Step Technique: The 'SATS' Method

Neville Goddard perfected a specific approach to manifest desire, known as State Akin to Sleep (SATS). The key is to reach a state of deep relaxation that makes the subconscious mind highly receptive. These are the essential steps:

1. Relaxation (SATS State)

Make yourself comfortable, preferably lying down. Relax your body and mind until you reach a state of drowsiness, similar to that which precedes natural sleep. This is the moment when your critical mind (the sentinel) is disarmed and the subconscious is more accessible.

Don't force it. If you feel too focused or alert, you're not in the right state. Reach the floating sensation you have when you're about to fall asleep.

2. Choose Your Desire and Scene

Select a specific and not vague desire. Choose a single brief scene (a 'final act') that implies the fulfillment of the desire. The scene must be so realistic that it could occur naturally if the desire were already realized.

❌ Vague: 'I want to be happy.'
✅ Specific: 'I feel gratitude for my new private office as I touch the plaque with my new title.'

3. Imagine Having It Already (The Sensory Loop)

Close your eyes and vividly visualize the chosen scene from a first-person perspective. Use sensory richness (touch, sight, hearing) as if you were physically there. Don't look at yourself, but look out from your eyes.

Don't think about the desire, **be** in it. For example, feel the physical contact of your partner's hand, or the weight of the signed document.

4. Feel the Feeling

This is the crucial step. FEEL the genuine emotion that would accompany already having this desire fulfilled. This is the assumption, the knowing that it is done.

The feeling is the secret. Without the feeling of fulfillment, nothing manifests.

5. Loop the Scene

Repeat this brief scene over and over, maintaining the feeling. This creates a deep impression on the subconscious mind. Continue until the scene takes on a sense of reality.

Each repetition should maintain the full sensory detail and emotional resonance.

6. Fall Asleep in the Assumption

The ideal: Maintain the scene and feeling as you drift into sleep. Falling asleep in the state of the wish fulfilled impresses the subconscious most powerfully.

The last thought before sleep becomes the dominant impression on the subconscious.

The SATS Masterclass: Night Protocol

The most powerful application of SATS is just before sleep. Follow this precise process:

From Feeling to Manifestation

The journey from abstract desire to concrete manifestation follows a precise path: Feeling is the operating force. Imagination is the tool. Revision is the correction. SATS is the integration. Together, they form a complete system for reconfiguring awareness and, through awareness, reconfiguring reality. Neville taught that you already have everything you need. You don't need new skills or external circumstances. You need only to shift your assumption, to impress your subconscious so deeply with the feeling and image of already having your desire that your awareness literally becomes realigned. When awareness changes, behavior changes. When behavior changes, circumstances change. In Part 3, we'll explore the advanced application of SATS, deeper integration, and the most direct path to manifestation that Neville discovered and taught in his later years.
