Manifesting a New Me—But Facebook Has Other Plans

So, I’ve decided to assume a new state of being. I’m leaving behind my old Facebook account (and all its embarrassing posts) and starting fresh. I mean, why not? I’m practically a new person, right? Well, apparently Facebook doesn’t agree. Facebook Thinks I’m Suspicious (And Not in a Cool Way) I closed my old account to make space for the new me—brand new, no baggage, all positive vibes. But when I tried to open my shiny, new Facebook profile, I was met with a cold, digital “Suspicious Activity Detected” message. Facebook’s not convinced I’m actually a real person, let alone a fresh identity. It's like when you try to manifest your dream life, and the universe sends you a “Hey, not so fast!” notice. “Show me proof that you’re ready to be the awesome version of yourself,” the world says. Facebook wants to see my “identity verification” and my “proof of transformation.” Spoiler alert: I'm still waiting. Facebook: The Lord of the Flies of Social Media Let’s be real—Faceboo...

When Leprosy and Barcodes Teach Life Lessons: The ‘Mark of the Beast’ and the Power of Imagining Your Dream Life

Forget the Chip Implants and Apocalyptic Nightmares—Let’s Talk About the Real Mark of the Beast: Your Thoughts The mark of the beast. It’s one of the Bible’s most dramatic and mysterious images, often associated with fire, brimstone, and some sort of impending doom. If you’re imagining a high-tech tattoo, a glowing barcode on your forehead, or even a conspiracy theory involving microchips, you’re not alone. But let’s step away from all the sci-fi and apocalyptic fear-mongering and take a fresh look at this symbol, free from literal interpretations. When viewed through Neville Goddard’s teachings, the "mark of the beast" is something far more personal—and far more empowering. The Beast's Mark: A Self-Inflicted Wound Neville Goddard didn’t view the mark of the beast as some sinister external stamp. Instead, he saw it as something deeply psychological: the self-inflicted wounds we make on our imagination. Our minds are powerful tools, designed to create the life we desire—bu...

The Crucifixion: The Ultimate Lesson in Staying True to the Wish Fulfilled (With a Side of Humor)

Okay, let’s talk about the crucifixion. It’s one of the most epic stories in the Bible, and for Neville Goddard, it’s the ultimate lesson in sticking to your guns— or in this case, your vision —even when things seem awfully painful. Jesus represents the imagination in Neville’s teachings, and the whole crucifixion scene? It’s a symbol for holding fast to your desired state even when it feels like the universe is mocking you. Like, Jesus is on the cross, the crowd is jeering, and things seem grim, but he's basically saying, “I know what’s happening here. Stay with me, this will work out." So yeah, being nailed to a cross doesn’t exactly scream “this feels great” —and Neville doesn’t sugarcoat it either. He knows that sticking to your imagination's vision can be intense , and let’s be real, it's usually not all rainbows and sunshine. In The Power of Awareness , he says: "In the end, you will discover that the world is not the cause of your problems, but merely t...

It’s the Images on the Inside That Count: The Bible’s Guide to Not Obsessing Over Your External Image

Let’s get one thing straight: humans are obsessed with image. Not just the perfectly filtered photos on your feed, but the image you project to the world. The clothes, the car, the perfectly posed photos—everyone’s in the game of “look at me, I’ve got it all figured out.” But here’s where the Bible comes in and says, “Nah, fam, the real image that matters is the one inside.” The Bible’s Ultimate Image Advice: Focus Inside, Not Outside Luke 17:21 is pretty clear about this: “The kingdom of God is within you.” Translation? Your external world? It’s just a reflection of what’s happening on the inside. So stop stressing about looking perfect, curating your life for Instagram, or trying to control every little thing around you. The magic is in your inner world. You get that right, and everything else starts falling into place. Matthew 6:33 adds some serious wisdom: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Translation: Forget trying to manage yo...

Whose Wife Will She Be? Neville Goddard and the Seven Brothers (Funny Ed)

In Luke 20:27–40, the Sadducees come up with a scenario so outlandish, it could’ve been the script for a medieval soap opera. They bring up a woman who was married to seven brothers —and each one dies, childless. Now, this is where they think they’ve got Jesus. The big question: “In the resurrection, whose wife will she be?” It’s like the Sadducees are saying, “We’ve got a tricky theological riddle for you, Jesus, hope you don’t flunk Bible trivia.” And instead of playing their game, Jesus hits back with the real spiritual truth: “They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world… neither marry, nor are given in marriage… for they are equal unto the angels.” Wait, hold up. Did Jesus just tell us that the afterlife is about no more weddings? No honey-do lists, no “where’s my wedding ring?”—only spiritual freedom? Yeah. And Neville Goddard, in his usual “look beneath the surface” style, adds a bit more spice: this isn’t about earthly weddings, folks. Nope. It’s about the r...

Balaam’s Donkey: When Your Subconscious Slams the Brakes on Your Spiritual Sat Nav

In the wild tale of Balaam’s donkey (Numbers 22), we meet a man, a donkey, and an angel playing cosmic traffic warden. But beneath the slapstick surface—yes, a man yelling at a donkey while an invisible angel waves a sword—lurks a deeply symbolic narrative. Through Neville Goddard’s teachings, this isn’t just about a road trip gone wrong, but about the bumpy journey from external control to inner imagination. Think of it as the ancient Near East’s version of “Get out of your head and into your vibe.” Balaam: Mr. Out-of-Touch With His Inner Sat Nav Let’s talk about Balaam. His name, Bilʿam , apparently means either “not of the people” or “destruction of the people.” Either way, this man is clearly not on the same page as his donkey—or his own inner voice. “Not of the People” = Balaam’s spiritually ghosting his inner self, choosing external validation over inner revelation. He’s like that person who asks for advice, ignores it, and then gets mad when it all goes wrong. “Destructi...

“Spiritual Truth” and Other Things We Say When We Don’t Know What We’re Talking About

There are few phrases thrown around in the spiritual space with as much vague authority as “spiritual truth.” Say it with a straight face and a distant gaze and you’ll sound like you know things. Deep things. Cosmic things. Probably about Lemuria. Or chakras. Or where to put your selenite. But what is a “spiritual truth,” really? And did Neville Goddard ever use the term while swaying in a kaftan and whispering, “You just have to trust the divine timing of your quantum leap”? (He did not. He wore suits. He smoked. He spoke in that wonderful 1940s Transatlantic accent that makes everything sound like it's being announced over a wireless.) So... What Is a Spiritual Truth According to Neville? Let’s clear the incense: Neville wasn’t throwing around the term like it was Himalayan salt. For him, a spiritual truth wasn’t something you found in a dreamcatcher or written on a driftwood sign at a yoga retreat. It was simple. Sharp. Unsentimental. Your imagination creates reality. That’s ...
