People who have practiced Neville Goddard’s “revision” technique often report significant changes in their mental and emotional state. Based on the comments shared on the internet and in various communities, we can elaborate on the experiences of revisionists under the following headings:
1. Relief from Negative Memories
People who regularly practice the revision technique report that they are freed from emotional burdens resulting from traumatic or negative experiences in the past.
Comments:
- “I was haunted for a long time by a past failure in a job interview. With revision, I reconstructed this memory in my mind and felt as if I had gotten the job. This boosted my self-confidence and helped me approach subsequent interviews more positively.”
- “Some difficult memories from my childhood were affecting my self-confidence. Thanks to the revision, I remember the past in a more peaceful and loving way. It was like a miracle for me.”
2. A More Positive Perspective
Many people report that the revision has changed their perspective on past events and that they feel a more positive flow of energy in their lives.
Comments:
- “At first I didn’t believe in this technique, but after trying it for a few days, I now remember a bad argument from the past in a more positive way. It’s a great feeling to feel as if it never happened.”
- “When I did revision regularly, I started to approach not only the past but also the present in a more positive way.”
3. Improvement in Relationships
Revisionists report positive results, especially when they use this technique to correct problems in past relationships.
Comments:
- “I had a very bad falling out with an old friend. With revision, I relived the argument in my mind, but this time I wrote a positive ending. Very interestingly, a week later she reached out to me and we made up again.”
- “I have revised in my mind the arguments that my husband and I had in the past. Those arguments no longer arouse anger in me, but rather a more loving feeling.”
4. Emotional Healing and Lightness
People who have undergone revision report relief from feelings of guilt, shame or regret, especially in the past.
Comments:
- “For years I carried the burden of a wrong decision I had made in the past. Through revision, I imagined that I had made the right decision and that it had turned out positively. This mental process lifted a huge burden from me.”
- “I became much more compassionate towards myself. The revision was not only about changing the past, but also about being kinder to myself.”
5. Improvement in Physical and Financial Experiences
Some people claim that the revision has changed their financial situation or physical well-being.
Comments:
- “I reconstructed in my mind an expenditure I had made in the past. I felt as if I had not wasted that money, but had invested it properly. Strangely enough, within a few weeks I had an unexpected financial gain.”
- “I revisited an old memory of a health problem, and in my mind’s eye, I pictured my healed self. After this process, I started to feel better both physically and emotionally.”
6. Dreams and their Subconscious Effects
Frequent revisionists say that they notice changes on a subconscious level and that this is reflected in their dreams.
Comments:
- “I have noticed that my dreams have changed since I did the revision. I used to have scary dreams about the past, but now I have more peaceful and positive dreams.”
- “I have a feeling of mental cleansing, which is also noticeable in my dreams. I began to have clearer and more meaningful dreams.”
7. Spiritual Dimensions of Revision
Some people feel that revision is not only a psychological technique but also a means of spiritual transformation.
Comments:
- “As I do revision, I feel that I have transformed not only the past of my life, but also my spiritual energy. It is as if I have broken my chains from the past.”
- “This technique made me feel in harmony with the universe. I realized that I was in control of my life.”
8. Those Experiencing Difficulties
Although many people report positive results, some people report that they had difficulties during the revision or that they did not get the results they expected.
Comments:
- “In my first attempts, it was emotionally difficult for me to re-imagine the events. But after a while those feelings subsided.”
- “Even though revision seems easy, it makes me tired to reconstruct some memories. But I still don’t plan to stop.”
