Neville Goddard said:
“When I speak of feeling I do not mean emotion, but acceptance of the fact that the desire is fulfilled.”
This is one of the most crucial distinctions in manifestation. Often, we confuse feelings with emotions, thinking we need to experience a specific emotion to manifest something.
You might believe you need to feel happy when imagining your brand-new red Ferrari or ecstatic when thinking about a million dollars.
Maybe those emotions come naturally, or maybe you force them.
But either way, it misses the point.
As Neville correctly pointed out, it’s not about the emotion.
It’s about the conviction and belief that these things are already yours. Think about how you feel toward something you already own — your car, house, computer, or phone. You’re not constantly ecstatic about them, but you do have a sense of certainty that they’re yours. This feeling is much deeper than a fleeting emotion.
We aim for that internal, energetic conviction and belief that you already have what you want—even if it hasn’t physically manifested yet.
Achieving this energetic shift isn’t difficult, but it’s essential. The emotion is secondary, no matter how pleasant it may be. This is exactly what we focus on in the Magnetic Manifestation course.
