SELF CONCEPT: THE KEY TO EVERYTHING

“Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live." - Neville Goddard.

what is self concept?

self concept

--------------------

your self concept is your general assumptions about yourself and the world you live in.

people think having a good self concept is all about self love and feeling pretty, but it's not. it's your viewpoint on everything and affects everything in your life -- your manifestations, relationships, how well life works out for you, etc. so, it's something you should invest in.

people always say, "well, i don't want to work on my self concept!", which annoys me to the bone, because it is the key to manifest all your desires. not only that, but it dictates your entire life.

for example, let's say i want to manifest a new boyfriend into my life. however, i hold the assumption that all men are terrible, they cheat, they lie, etc. and because i persist in those assumptions by repeating those affirmations to myself and feeling it as a fact, my new boyfriend will have no choice but to conform to my general assumptions about men.

i remember when i read an extract from one of neville goddard's lectures. one day, a black man once approached neville and asked him how he could possibly manifest, when most of neville's audience was white and had many great successes with manifestation. so how could he, a poor black man during segregation, manifest the life he desires?

neville told this man about his mentor, abdullah. and how abdullah was more than 90 years old and had the health of an olympic athlete. abdullah gracefully thrived in "whites only" facilities, and was treated greatly despise how logically, the odds were against him. neville then told this man, to change his self concept. why? because once you change your self concept, your world starts to blossom.

so, this man took neville's advice. before he changed his self concept, he was discriminated against everywhere, especially at this place he went to, when he was escorted off the premises. however, after the man changed his general views of himself and the world, everything changed. he started to view himself as someone who rich, has the utmost respect and is a well treated member of society. that same place the man was discriminated against, offered him an a high paying job with his own office without even applying, and started to treat him with the utmost respect, JUST ECAUSE he changed his self concept. crazy, right? all he did was change his self concept, and his entire world changed, because everything comes from within.

people think jut because you're pretty and rich means you have a great self concept. nope, that's not what it is! for example, look at marilyn monroe. an icon, a star, the apple of many men's eye. she was loved by many, was stunning and lived a great lifestyle. however -- her general view of life was quite dull, which caused the failure of her marriages and the dissatisfaction in her career.

now, back to manifesting. so, one of my friends was struggling with manifestation. she had so many doubts, intrusive thoughts, would spiral often, and couldn't manifest shit, because she had a shitty self concept. she held the assumption that she couldn't manifest anything, life is hard, nothing works out for her, and blah blah blah.

she asked me for advice, and i told her to work on her self concept, and i told her what to do and made a plan for her, the plan that i made for you guys, below. and guess what, because she changed her self concept, she has manifested so many luxurious items! versace, prada, etc. and she told me she manifested 100k in just HOURS. she told me because she believed in herself and worked on her self concept, it changed her entire life! she now views herself as someone who can manifest INSTANTLY, someone who is amazing at manifesting and someone who always gets what she was. and SHE IS. she was even showing me all the stuff she's going to buy with the money.

you see how powerful self concept is? she couldn't manifest a toothpick to save her damn life, to 100k in just a few hours. insane, right?

“Your opinion of yourself is your most important viewpoint. You are infinitely greater than you think you are.” – Neville Goddard.

how do i change my self concept?

changing your self concept

-------------------------

you can change your self concept in a number of ways. you can:

affirm

command your subconscious

visualise

any other manifestation technique

just decide you have an amazing one

"Begin with self." - Neville Goddard.

self concept guide

OBJECTIVE:

develop an amazing self concept

manifest desires

self love and happiness

INSTRUCTIONS:

RIGHT when you wake up, AFFIRM for your self concept affirmations. You do not need to affirm every single one on the list, just a couple of sentences that you remember. Pick ones that imply you manifest quickly, you are a master manifestor, things always go your way, life is amazing, etc.

Affirm throughout the day. Only a couple of times, when you feel like it only. A few times is fine, don't affirm all day long and like a robot. It shouldn't feel like a job. And when you affirm, affirm as if you are stating an OBJECTIVE TRUTH. Remember, YOU are the cause, and the 3d is the EFFECT.

Affirm while you drift off to sleep, while drowsy. This is the BEST time to affirm, so take advantage of this.

Anytime you think of your desires, KNOW it is done. KNOW it is coming to you, and you don’t need to worry. Why? Because your manifestation is INEVITABLE, and you are GOD, and you ALWAYS get what you want. SELF CONCEPT IS KEY. IT WILL COME EXTREMELY QUICKLY. YOUR DESIRE IS GUARANTTED. IT IS A PROMISE. IT IS ON ITS WAY. WHY ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS ALREADY YOURS? For this, you don't need to affirm for your desires, I want you to SOLELY focus on your self concept.

IMPORTANT - REMEMBER !

See something you don’t like? REPEAT YOUR AFFIRMATIONS AND KEEP THE FAITH! I do NOT care about how miserable you are, REMEMBER -- KEEP THE FAITH. NO MATTER WHAT.

You don’t have to pretend your problem isn’t there, but KNOW it will change.

DO NOT look for evidence whether it is working here. IT IS WORKING. THINGS ARE ALWAYS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES. KEEP THE FAITH. HAVE FAITH TO THE UNSEEN REALITY, AND THE UNSEEN WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME THE SEEN.

YOU CAN DO THIS. YOU ARE GOD. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

REMEMBER -- YOUR DESIRES ARE YOURS.

EVERYTHING BECOMES FROM SELF. REMEMBER TO CHANGE SOMETHING EXTERNAL, YOU MUST CHANGE SOMETHING INTERNAL.

YOU WANT CONFIRMATION THAT ITS WORKING -- YOU ARE THE CONFIRMATION. do NOT hit me with that "angel i don't see any movement" bullshit. i swear to god, i will slap you with a neville goddard book. THERE IS ALWAYS CHANGE. have faith to the UNSEEN reality, and the UNSEEN will eventually become the UNSEEN.

you may feel weird or the afirmations may feel unnaatural at first, but i promise you, in due time they will become second nature! so don't worry if you struggle at first, you'll get there, my love.

with the affirmations, you do not need to use all 50. just pick a few that resonate with you, and makes you feel good!

I'm thrilled that I got to give a lecture for Katie Cercone's Gender Trouble class at SVA today. Shout-outs to Katie @social_suiciiide for always supporting me and my work. 🌺 I was so stressed while I was preparing this presentation, figuring out how to condense all of these ideas about Black feminism and healing and the unconventional inspirations that influence my work that are not necessarily Black feminism. But it was so fun actually presenting the lecture!! Happy Winter Solstice! 🌺 🌺slide # 2 is my father's writing with my artwork from one of my zines. 🌺 #blackfeminism #Blackart #blackpeople #Blackwomen #Blackwomenartists #womanism #selfcare #selflove #healing #hiphop #art #artschool #Blackmermaids #mermaidlife #feminism #feministart #selfhelp #wintersolstice #fullmoon #blackartists (at School of Visual Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXw4CWqFzoI/?utm_medium=tumblr
