Have you died to the old man? Have you died to your old self, so you can give life to the new? And what does does it mean?

If you are new to the law, you may not understand what this even means, but if you’ve landed here, my guess is that you are interested in learning about the subjet.

So, this article, as well as this video and my podcast episode #76, are going to help you understand and digest this, so you can make this knowledge your own and not only manifest your desires, but transform your whole life.

Let the Old Man Go

Disengage yourself from the whole vast belief that you formerly entertained, and hold on in your imagination to the concept that you ARE the man that you want to be…   For you will RESSURECT and make alive the state that began only as a concept. If you remain faithful to the concept you will be led right into the fulfillment of that state. It is called, in the Bible, re-birth. – Neville Goddard

How engaged are you with your current self? How engaged are you with your current reality? How engaged are you with your current thoughts and the story you are telling to yourself?

If you are still very much engaged with them, you must disengage yourself from all those beliefs because they belong to your old self, and the old self has to die, so you can ressurect and make alive the NEW self.

You have to die to the old self and become the new self before you can see you reality change. This said, I see a lot of people who have not understood this basic truth, wondering why they can’t manifest their desire or transform their lives.

Your world, as it is right now, is the world that you have manifested for yourself based on the sum total of your beliefs and assumptions – your mental diet. In turn, this has created the man within, which is your old man.

The good news is that when you understand states and how to embody a state in imagination, you can let go of the old. Die to the old man, and be re-born to the new.

Don’t Try to “Fix” the Old

A very common mistake we can observe, even in the conscious manifesting community, it’s that a lot of people are “trying to fix” their problems. For example, they are trying to fix that relationship they’ve lost. But trying to fix your problem will keep you in the old state. And from that state, by law, you won’t be able to manifest your desire.

If you want to manifest a relationship, even with a specific person that you already know, you don’t want to manifest that same relationship, you want to manifest a brand new one, because if you did manifest the same relationship it would end in the same manner.

I observe this problem quite often when someone wanting to manifest an SP has not killed the old man and is manifesting their SP from the old self. When they succeed in manifesting their person, if they do, soon after, the same old scenario starts unfolding again. This is why you must die to the old before creating the new.

We all have had moments when we felt better here and there, so we were able to manifest our desire at that moment, but unless we completely kill the old self, that old self will come back again sooner or later, and we will lose what we have manifested.

Don’t try to manifest your desire FROM the old self. You need to leave the old man behind for good first. And then, FROM THAT NEW STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS, you can manifest your desire.

You Must Give Up What You are Now

I am not speaking about some little magical thing where you can wave a wand and your desire will suddenly appear. This law is based upon a principle. If you want something, you can have it, but YOU MUST BE WILLING TO GIVE UP WHAT YOU ARE NOW in order to be what you want to be. – Neville Goddard

Oftentimes, I hear people say, how come I can manifest everything easily but I can’t manifest that one big desire? This is because they are “trying” to manifest it from the old self, from the state where that desire doesn’t exist.

A very easy way to know if this is what you’re doing it’s by observing your thoughts. Are you thinking from the state of “manifesting your desire?” If your answer is yes, then you are thinking FROM the old man. If the new man already had their desire, they wouldn’t be thinking of manifesting such a desire. Right? You are not “manifesting” what you already have!

Neville said, “I say to everyone: you can be anything you want to be, but you cannot be double-minded. You are told, Let no one believe that – having looked into the mirror, turns away and forgets what he looks like – that he will receive anything from the Lord, for the double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.”  

In other words, don’t lie to yourself. If you were married to your specific person right now, would you be “manifesting” them? If you were wealthy right now, would you be wondering how you will pay the rent next month? If you were healthy right now, would you have any thoughts that belong to someone who is not healthy?

You have to leave behind all that is now your present concept of self, and fully embody the NEW you, regardless of the what your current reality says. And you do this FROM WITHIN.

Take your attention away from your old self, which means that you stop talking about it, thinking from it, and reacting from it. And most definitely, stop dwelling in the feeling of being that as well. ALL OF IT AS TO GO!

Start Doing This Everyday!

“Ye must be born again for except ye be born again ye cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven.”

That is; except you leave behind you your present conception of yourself and assume the nature of the new birth, you will continue to out-picture your present limitations. – Neville Goddard – The Power of Awareness

Meditate on the I AM statement, and become faceless and body-less. Practice this every day. As you do, take your attention away from your problem.

Your ego-self may “think” that he or she has a problem to “fix” but your God-Self KNOWS that he or she already IS what they want to be.

Sit down, close your eyes, and relax for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and dwell in that FEELING OF BEING. There is nothing and no one that can prevent you to FEEL and BE what you want to feel and who you want to be, right now, but yourself.

So, “go into your room” (your imagination) Matthew 6:6 and BE the NEW VERSION of yourself there. Not from your current problem, not from the old version of yourself, but be the new person/the new state that you want to be and who already has their desire.

Only by reminding yourself of this constantly and going within daily, will you be able to kill the old man for good and be re-born as the new you and, therefore, manifest any desire you might have.

The post You Must Die to the Old Self to Live to the New appeared first on Manifesting With Sylviane.

If there is a big change that you are after in your life, whether is it to go from being poor to be being rich, from being single to being in a committed relationship, or from being sick to being healed, chances are that your old man has to die for that to happen. But why, you might ask? Because in that old man (your old-self) lies a state that is manifesting your current experience on autopilot.

In order to redirect that autopilot to where you want to go, you need to get rid of your old man for good. By the way, the term “man” in this case, is not the masculine form of woman, it’s simply the generic term of the human race.

So, if you feel that you are having a hard time manifesting this big desire of yours, let’s consider why this might be the case, and how to fix it for good.

What Does it Mean to Die in Your Old-Self?

Disengage yourself from the whole vast belief that you formerly entertained, and hold on in your imagination to the concept that you ARE the man that you want to be…   For you will RESURRECT and make alive the state that began only as a concept. If you remain faithful to the concept you will be led right into the fulfillment of that state. It is called, in the Bible, re-birth. – Neville Goddard

If someone who knew you 5 to 10 years ago were to see you today, would they see the exact same person, or would they hardly recognize you? And I don’t mean physically. I mean by the way you act, your demeanor, your state of being. Would people who knew you in the past recognize you today? If the answer is yes, then, you most likely haven’t gotten rid of the old man yet.

As Neville says in the quote above, you need to disengage from what you used to believe and hold a new concept of yourself in your imagination, so you will resurrect the state which you want to be in. Thus, your old man will die and your new man will be made alive.

The way you are now is just a state, it’s a state that you have embodied for whatever reason at some point in your life, but it’s also a state that is alive because YOU are making it alive. You can die in that state and be re-born in a totally different state. That’s how we shift from one state to another.

Man wants other things than those he has, but if you remain in one state you will forever have to suffer the consequences of not being in another state. If I remain in the state of poverty, I must suffer the consequences of not being in the state of wealth, so I must learn the art of dying. – Neville Goddard – The Art of Dying

Just as it is impossible to experience something that is not part of our consciousness or awareness, it is not possible to experience something from an opposite state of that which we are in.

The state of poverty versus the state of wealth that Neville used in this quote speaks to me very precisely. Once upon a time, I was in the state of being broke and of being a loser, thus, even though I had inherited a nice amount of money, at some point, I wasn’t able to grow that money or even use it in a way that would have been beneficial for me. On the contrary, I kept making one wrong decision after another. Looking back it’s so clear to me now how my state messed everything up for me. But back then, being in that pitiful state I was totally blinded and incapable to see what was going on. Today, however, I can see how the state that I was in was working on autopilot for me.

This experience of mine has shown me that the state that we are in will always win over whatever 3D circumstances we are in at the moment. favorable circumstance or not, the state that you are in will win over whatever circumstances you may find yourself in. You must suffer the consequence of not being in the state of your desire, as Neville says. If you want to experience your desire in the 3D world, you must match that with your state of being. If your state of being doesn’t agree with your desire, you must die in that state and be reborn in your new state. You must live in the state of having your desire (within) before it can appear in your external world.

How to be Reborn as the New You?

If we increase the intensity in the center of imagining, we will create greater and greater things. So, I dream and I must die to what I am in order to live to what I want to be. – Neville Goddard – The Art of Dying

Dying in your old self means that you have to drop that state. You don’t have to change all that you are, you just have to drop that state that you have embodied. For example, if you are suffering from a lack of money, it’s simply because you are in that state of poverty which by default is manifesting such poverty. If you are feeling lonely because you are single, it’s because you are in the state of being that way. If you are suffering from a disease, it’s because you have embodied a state where you are sick. But the moment that you decide to drop the unwanted state and embody the one where your desire exists, you will manifest it in your world easily and effortlessly. You have to die to that unwanted state in order to live to the state where your desire exists.

You have to make the decision to change by ditching your old self. Really, do it!

Man doesn’t want to change, it frightens him. But I tell you that your imagination is God. Believe it. Exercise it. It is keyed low, but as you lift it up you intensify it. And then, vision after vision will be yours as you begin to awake. Do not think you’re greedy because you are demanding things or the changing of things. You are here to create as your father creates. Want what you want and yield to it and create it. Then, you will want higher and higher things. But nothing blesses a man unless it comes down from its heavenly state and takes flesh. You’re the only one who can clothe it in reality, but it remains a state until you yield to it. – Neville Goddard – The Art of Dying

States are here to stay, they are always here, we never destroy a state, but we CAN choose to either embody a state or drop it, and while in this human body you make that state alive by manifesting the desires that exist in that state.

The more you practice conscious imagining the higher you will be able to get, and the higher you get the most amazing things you can manifest in your life.

So, if you are not enjoying the state that you are in right now, just drop it, today. Let the old man die, and embody the state that which will bring your desires.
