It was a cold winter night in 1933 New York.

The subway rumbled far below, taxi horns cut through the empty streets.

In a tiny, freezing apartment, a young Neville Goddard counted his last few coins, dreaming of sunny Barbados.

Frost covered the windows. The cold was in him now, in his hands, in his breath, down to his bones. He needed to escape, but he was trapped.

Yet in his mind, the sun was hot on his face. Waves crashed in the distance.

He was already there.

He was.. in Barbados.

You’ve done this too.

Living in a situation you don’t like, while imagining being somewhere else.

• Lying in bed, picturing yourself traveling the world.
• Standing in the shower, thinking about that hotel in where you slept better than you had in years.
• Sitting at your desk, daydreaming about walking barefoot on warm sand.
• Stuck in traffic, wishing you were on a balcony watching the sunset.

Everyone tells you that you should imagine your dream scene and feel it to be real.

But here's what every Neville teacher gets wrong: the problem wasn't that he needed to imagine harder. The problem was that he couldn't stop resisting what was "real".

His 3D world.

But what happened next changed everything.

The Feeling Of The Wish Fulfilled

You’ve heard it a thousand times: “Feel your wish fulfilled.”

You’ve tried it. You’ve imagined it. You’ve felt it.

But the moment life hits you in the face, it slips away.

Just as most people struggle with this, Neville did too.

When he was inside that cold New York apartment, counting his coins but in his imagination, in Barbados, he was tested.

This is the moment most people would have given in.

You try to feel your vision to be true, assuming the wish fulfilled, but life keeps telling you otherwise triggering emotions of fear, doubt and anxiety:

• Unexpected bills - Your car breaking - triggering scarcity of losing money.
• You’re at the grocery store, tapping your card, praying it doesn’t decline over a $6 purchase.
• You need a new pair of headphones, but the price tag drags you back to reality.

Instead of staying in the state of your wish fulfilled, you resist these emotions by trying to overpower them. You feel the fear in your chest, the doubt in your mind, the tightness in your stomach.

Then comes the thought: "What if I can't make it?"

And you fight it. You try to think a better thought. You try to "positive-affirm" your way out. You try to replace the fear with the vision.

But here's the paradox: the more you fight the feeling, the more you feed it.

It's like trying to fall asleep, the harder you try, the more awake you become.

What if the goal isn't to feel different about your current reality, but to stop fighting with it completely?

That’s exactly what Neville’s mentor Abdullah showed him. And what he told Neville that winter night didn't just get him to Barbados, it changed the way I see manifestation forever.

I’ll tell you exactly what he said in a minute.

But first, you need to understand why it worked.

Subtraction, Not Addition

When Neville told Abdullah he had no money for Barbados, most teachers would have given him a plan.

Abdullah did something completely different.

He looked at Neville and said: "You are in Barbados. You went first class. You're sleeping in your mother's home tonight."

Most people believe feeling the wish fulfilled is an act of addition, but it's actually subtraction.

You've been told to add more belief, more visualization, more techniques.

But here's what most people are missing:

​

Resistance is the only thing blocking natural assumption, remove resistance and the feeling flows effortlessly.

​

From that night on, every time Neville brought up being stuck in New York, Abdullah refused to discuss it.

For weeks, nothing happened. Neville doubted. He questioned whether this approach could work.

Then something shifted.

Here's what changes when you understand this:

Before: Forcing feelings, fighting circumstances, monitoring for results, exhausting yourself trying to feel different

After: Natural assumption, effortless flow, circumstances aligning without force, feeling your desire as already done

Everyone uses manifestation techniques to control reality and force their desires.

But what if receiving your desire requires the exact opposite?

What Abdullah taught Neville wasn't just about Barbados. It was a complete method for releasing resistance that most people never discover.

Here's exactly how it works...

The Breaking Point

Abdullah instructs Neville to imagine sleeping in his mother's house in Barbados every night. Not visualizing the journey, not planning how to get there, just assuming he's already there.

Every night, he imagined sleeping in his mother's bed in Barbados.

At some point, he turned to him asking about the "how". Abdullah refused to discuss it. He gave him no instructions on how it would happen, only that he must persist in the assumption that it already had.

And so, he kept going anyway. Night after night, lying in his tiny New York apartment, he imagined himself back in Barbados. The humid air. The sound of waves. His mother’s voice calling him from the other room.

But every morning he woke to the same cold walls. The same coins on the table. The same resistance nagging at him. Doubt whispering, "You’re still here. You’re not going anywhere."

Neville had to keep assuming he was in warm Barbados while physically experiencing cold, broke NYC. The longer nothing happened, the harder it became to maintain the assumption.

And maybe you’ve felt this too, holding on to a dream that feels real inside, while your outside world tells you it’s impossible.

This is where most people break and give up their desire.

But still, he closed his eyes, and once again he was in Barbados.

Until one day, December 4th, 1933, a day that began like any other.

The mailman knocked. In his hands was a single envelope with Neville's name on it. Nothing else.

Neville took it inside, into his cold kitchen. His hands shook as he tore it open. His breath caught. Something in him knew before he even read the words, this was it.

Inside was a letter from his brother, with enough money for a ticket to Barbados.

Not just any ticket. A first-class ticket.

Not only had his assumption worked, it had exceeded even what he'd dared to imagine.

Most people hear this story and think: "Great, so I just need to assume it's done."

But here's what nobody tells you...

How to Make Any Assumption Feel Natural

Over the years I’ve read Neville’s books, listened to his lectures on YouTube, and even scrolled through the subreddit dedicated to his teachings.

Even though most of the teachings are clear, such as assuming your wish fulfilled, something was always missing.

I've been going through years of trial and error, inner work and self-realization. What I've realized changed everything i use to think about the universe, and more importantly "the law".

What most people miss isn't the assumption itself.

It's what you have to release first.

1) Release Current Reality Resistance:

Most people try to feel their desire while simultaneously resisting their current reality. Imagining they're in Barbados while complaining about their cold New York apartment.

This creates internal conflict that blocks the natural feeling of wholeness.

To desire something new, you first have to love what you already have.

Welcome your current reality.

Don't try to change it, accept it.

Instead of checking your bank balance with anxiety, look at it and think: "This number perfectly reflects my old assumptions. Thank you for showing me what I was creating."

When you truly accept your current reality, you'll feel your shoulders drop, your breathing deepen. The desperate edge melts away.

"But won't accepting my situation keep me stuck there?"

No. Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means releasing the emotional charge that keeps you trapped in resistance loops.

The only way out is through acceptance.

2) Allow Desired State:

The feeling already exists, you just need to stop covering it up.

The struggle comes from believing there are two worlds: the one you're in now, and the one you want to be in.

The more you push against the present, the more you reinforce that separation.

But the truth is simpler: the feeling you're after has always been here, underneath the resistance. Like the sun behind clouds, it doesn't need to be created, it only needs the clouds to clear.

Instead of forcing yourself to "feel rich" while anxious about money, you simply stop fighting what you see. You breathe. You let your shoulders drop. In that space of non-resistance, a quiet knowing emerges: "I am provided for." It doesn't feel like pretending, it feels like remembering.

"But how do I know if I'm allowing versus just being passive?"

Allowing has an alive quality to it. Passivity feels flat and resigned. True allowing feels like relief mixed with quiet certainty, like finally exhaling after holding your breath.

The feeling doesn't need to be built, it needs to be uncovered.

3) Flow Until Manifestation

True manifestation requires taking your hands off the wheel.

When you walk to the store to buy an ice cold coca cola. You don't think about how you gonna do it, or fighting your circumstance by telling yourself how hard it is to get to the store. It just happens naturally, from a place of flow.

When you want a Coca-Cola, you don't strategize about it. You don't fight your circumstances or tell yourself how hard it is to get to the store. You just... go get it.

Even if your car breaks down, you don't spiral into "I'm the unluckiest person alive."

You naturally find another way:

• Take the bike
• Walk there
• Ask a friend for a ride

This is effortless flow. But here's what most people miss about it.

You weren't "manifesting" the Coca-Cola through visualization or affirmations. You were in a state of natural expectation, no resistance, no desperation, just quiet knowing that you'd get what you wanted.

"So I should just let go of doing anything?"

No. You still take action, but it's inspired action, not forced action.

The difference?

Inspired action feels easy, obvious, and perfectly timed.

Forced action feels like pushing a boulder uphill.

When you're in true flow, action feels like cooperation with life rather than fighting against it. Your body feels relaxed, your timing feels perfect, and opportunities seem to appear exactly when you need them.

This is how Neville got to Barbados. He didn't force doors open, he allowed life to arrange the circumstances. The letter, the money, the first-class upgrade. All of it flowed naturally once he stopped fighting what was real and allowed what was possible.

How To Always Stay in Barbados

Now you understand the principle, but here's the challenge: When that bill arrives, when that rejection email hits, when that trigger fires—how do you release the resistance in real-time?

You have two choices.

Path 1: Keep forcing feelings, fighting your reality, monitoring for results. Wake up every morning in that cold New York apartment, checking if your circumstances have changed.

Path 2: Release resistance and flow naturally. Feel your desires as already done because nothing is blocking that natural state anymore. Watch opportunities appear exactly when you need them, like Neville's first-class ticket.

Every day you spend forcing is another day your desires stay stuck in resistance.

You're tired of the anxiety, the stress, the constant mental gymnastics. You want ease. You want it to unfold effortlessly.

Right now, identify one desire you've been forcing. Instead of trying to feel it fulfilled, practice welcoming whatever resistance comes up. Don't try to change the feeling—just stop fighting it.

I created a quick 3-question assessment to help you identify your primary resistance pattern, the one thing that's been quietly sabotaging your ability to assume naturally, feel complete and whole.

​Take the 2-minute quiz here.​

Understanding your unique resistance pattern is the difference between spending months trying to force feelings and stepping into natural assumption within days.

That cold winter night in 1933, Neville sat in his freezing apartment with just coins in his pocket. But in his mind, he was already home in Barbados.

He wasn't delusional. He was prophetic.

Your vision isn't a fantasy either. It's a memory of where you're going.

Stop fighting the cold.

You're already there.

All Love,
Tomas
