How to Ignore Your 3D Reality: What You’ll Learn
- Understand how our reality is shaped by our thoughts and the vividness of our imagination.
- Shift your focus from external realities to internal states for meaningful change.
- Consistently embody the feeling and state of having already achieved your desires.
- Maintain a strong belief in your desired outcomes, even in the face of contradicting external circumstances.
- Develop a positive and empowered self-view, as your external world reflects your internal state.
What Is 3D Reality?
3D reality is the term used to describe the external world that we perceive with our five senses. It is the result of our past thoughts and beliefs that have been projected onto the screen of space.
If you’re into manifesting, you’ve probably heard people talking about this term.
The 3D world is the tangible environment and circumstances that we experience through our senses.
It encompasses everything you can touch, see, hear, and measure. But it’s just one aspect of a much broader universe that is governed by your inner world.
You can create your desired reality by using the power of your imagination and the law of assumption.
The Law of Assumption
The law of assumption states that whatever we assume to be true, whether consciously or unconsciously, will manifest in our experience. The law of assumption is the core principle of Goddard’s teachings.
Neville Goddard
Neville Goddard was a prominent figure in the New Thought movement.
Goddard taught that our consciousness is the only reality. The external world is only a reflection of our inner state. So by changing our inner state, we change our external reality.
Therefore, the key to manifesting is to assume the state of the wish fulfilled. This means that we must develop the feeling and conviction that we already have what we want.
However, many people find it hard to do that. They let their senses and logic dictate their mood and actions. As a consequence, they fail to accomplish what they want.
That’s why it is crucial to learn to ignore 3D reality when manifesting.
Reflection of Internal State
Most people don’t realize that their mindset (often one of scarcity, competition, and limitation) is coloring their perception.
In fact, your physical reality is exactly like your reflection in the mirror. When you smile you see your reflection smiling too. When you frown it frowns too.
For example:
Let’s say that you view every colleague as a competitor and every project as a battlefield.
This attitude will not only affect your mental well-being but also manifest in your external reality.
Opportunities for collaboration or creative growth will be overlooked because your mindset isn’t aligned with them.
Your physical reality is a reflection of your inner state, not the cause of it. It is a shadow, not a substance.
What you see around you is often a residue of your previous mindset.
What Does It Mean to Ignore The Current 3D Reality?
What it means to ignore the 3D reality is often misconstrued. Many people see it as a necessary step in the manifesting process. However, in my experience, that’s not necessarily the case.
So, let me explain what it actually means to ignore the 3D reality.
And then we’ll discuss what to do if your 3D reality is troubling you.
Firstly, “ignoring” doesn’t require completely disregarding or being blind to your current 3D reality.
In simple terms, it all comes down to how you feel about it.
You can acknowledge the 3D reality but don’t let it affect your confidence and certainty in your outcome.
If you’re working on your self-concept, your current reality will naturally stop bugging you.
The opposite is also true:
If your 3D is bugging you it’s a sign that you’re not sure that your wish will be yours.
Ignoring your current reality means maintaining an unwavering certainty that your wish is coming to fruition.
The more you shift your inner world to align with your desired reality, the less the current 3D reality bothers you.
How to Ignore Your 3D Reality?
It’s time to talk about how to ignore the current reality.
There are a few ways to approach this.
Let’s start with the law of assumption first.
Using the Law of Assumption and Neville’s Teachings
To use this law effectively, you need only two steps – assume your wish and then persist in it.
Here’s how.
#1 Assume the state of the wish fulfilled
Imagine that you already have what you want and feel the reality of it. Assume that it is done and that nothing can stop it.
- Let’s say you want to manifest a specific person. You can affirm: “I enjoy being in a loving relationship with (name of the person).”
- If you want to manifest money, you can visualize holding a check with the amount you want.
- To manifest health, you can feel yourself being healthy and energetic.
#2 Persisting in the Assumption
Persisting in your assumption means maintaining your desired state regardless of the 3D reality. It’s the key to ignoring reality.
But how do you do that?
- Be faithful, confident, and self-loving in your state of the wish fulfilled.
- Ignore the facts and the opinions of others that contradict your wish.
- Live from your imagination and not from your senses.
“Persisting” is one of these things that are simple, but not necessarily easy.
Frankly, most of my clients seek me out because they need help with this step. That’s precisely why I won’t wrap up this blog post just yet.
We’ll cover common challenges and practical strategies next.
The Psychological and Emotional Challenges
The nature of our 3D world brings its own set of emotional and psychological challenges.
Many people give up on their wish when facing challenges. They revert to their old state, accepting their 3D reality as the final truth.
Consequently, they are canceling their wish and creating more of the same.
Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
We’ll discuss and clarify these challenges so you can prepare for them.
Dissonance
There’s often a conflict between what we desire and what we currently experience.
This dissonance can lead to frustration, struggle, and doubt.
We get anxious, impatient, or desperate when we don’t see results.
By doing so, we are reinforcing the old state and blocking the realization of our desire.
Lesson to remember:
Your current situation is only a temporary reflection of your past state. It has no power over you unless you give it power.
Attachment
We tend to get attached to our physical reality, mistaking it for the ultimate truth. Then we try to control and manipulate our external world.
Lesson to remember:
The outcome is already determined by our inner state. You don’t need to do anything to make it happen. You need to be it.
Whatever your current circumstances are, they’re not just a random occurrence. They are a reflection of your past thoughts, beliefs, and actions.
Common Misconceptions and Doubts
“Seeing is Believing” Fallacy
We’re conditioned to trust only what we can physically observe. In the realm of manifestation, belief precedes seeing. Nurture the seeds of your desired reality in your mind and heart. Only then can they bloom in your physical world.
Instant Change Expectation
A common doubt is the expectation of immediate change. Manifestation is a process. In most cases, shifts in 3D reality take time.
Doubting the Power of Thoughts
There’s often skepticism around the impact of thoughts and emotions on physical reality. However, countless studies and success stories support this interconnectedness.
Misunderstanding the Role of Physical Reality
Your physical reality is not a fixed determinant of your future. It is a reflection of past thoughts and beliefs. You can transform by changing focus. The key to successful manifesting is shifting your focus from what is to what can be.
Your current circumstances are temporary and changeable. They’re not an end, but rather a stepping stone toward your desired reality.
Bridging Your Current Reality with Your Desired One
Your manifestation journey requires more than occasionally visualizing your wish. You must bridge the gap between your current 3D reality and the one you want.
And, as I mentioned, that’s no easy task.
Especially when we are constantly bombarded by stimuli and information that seem to contradict our wish.
So, how can we bridge that gap, without losing faith or giving up on our assumption?
Here are some extra tips and techniques that can help you overcome this challenge.
Rise Above Body and Environment Influences
Recognize how your physical body and immediate environment often dictate your thoughts and feelings, anchoring you to your current reality.
For example, if you are feeling sick or tired you may find it harder to focus on your desired state and feel positive emotions. The same goes if you are surrounded by clutter or noise.
To transcend these physical limitations, you can try the following techniques:
Mindful Awareness:
Regularly practice mindfulness to understand how your environment and bodily sensations influence your mental state. By becoming more aware of your thoughts and feelings, you can detach yourself from them. Choose to focus on your desired state instead.
You can also use mindfulness to appreciate the positive aspects of your current reality, like the beauty of nature, or the comfort of your home.
Creating a Conducive Environment:
While you can’t always change your environment, you can create small sanctuaries that foster a sense of peace and alignment. For example, you can decorate your room with objects that remind you of your desired reality, such as posters, souvenirs, or books.
You can also create a daily ritual that helps you connect with your desired state. For instance, you can listen to affirmations, read inspirational quotes, or write a journal.
Shifting Time Perception
Often, our minds are trapped in the regrets of the past or the anxieties of the future. When we dwell on the past, we reinforce the negative thinking and patterns that keep us stuck where we are. When we worry about the future, we create resistance and doubt that prevent us from receiving our wishes.
Here are 2 ways you can shift your time perception:
Present Moment Exercises:
Engage in activities that anchor you in the present moment. Some examples are deep breathing, meditation, or even simple acts like savoring a meal or observing nature. By being fully present and aware, you can access the power of the now (which is the only time that matters for manifestation).
Practice affirmations that emphasize the power and potential of the present moment. For example, “I am fully here and now, creating my future,” or “I am living in the end, enjoying my desired reality.”
Reframing Past and Future:
Learn to view past experiences as lessons rather than regrets and future events as opportunities rather than sources of anxiety.
You can also use revision, a technique that Neville taught, to change your past and future in your imagination. Simply imagine a different scenario that matches your desired reality.
Developing Resilience Against 3D Triggers
Developing resilience against the triggers involves recognizing situations, interactions, and even internal thoughts that pull you back into your old reality.
You also need to develop strategies to counter them effectively.
Identify Your Triggers
Personal Reflection:
You need to become conscious of what’s triggering you. Spend time reflecting on what specific aspects of your current reality trigger negative emotions or thoughts.
Is it a particular place, a set of circumstances, certain people, or specific thoughts?
Once you name your triggers, you need to find the beliefs behind them.
Identify what belief is causing each trigger and change it.
Instead of reacting to that trigger, how can you respond differently?
How would the version of you who already has your wish respond?
Develop Counter Strategies
Immediate Response Techniques:
Create a toolkit of immediate responses for when you notice a trigger. This could include deep breathing exercises, stepping away from the situation, or reciting a positive affirmation.
Reframing Thoughts:
When you identify a trigger, consciously work to reframe the thought or situation. For instance, let’s say that financial constraints are a trigger. Reframe your thoughts from lack to gratitude for what you currently have. Also, focus on an abundant future.
Visualization as a Tool:
Use visualization to immediately transport yourself to a desired state when a trigger occurs. This helps in shifting focus from the current trigger to the manifestation of your goals. This helps in shifting focus from the current trigger to the manifestation of your goals.
Your Imagination and 4th-Dimensional Thinking
Neville Goddard introduced another important concept for transcending our 3D world – “4th-dimensional thinking.”
This concept is essential in understanding how to effectively ignore the constraints of the physical world. It also blends all previous concepts nicely.
What Is 4th-Dimensional Thinking?
Beyond Physical Constraints
Unlike 3D thinking, which is bound by physical laws and limitations, 4th-dimensional thinking operates in a realm where anything is possible. It transcends time, space, and physical restrictions. It transcends time, space, and physical restrictions.
Realm of Imagination
It’s a space where your imagination is not just a mental exercise but a creative force.
In this dimension, your thoughts and visualizations have the power to influence and reshape your reality.
How Does the 4th-Dimensional Thinking Help in Ignoring Reality?
When you engage in 4th-dimensional thinking, you detach from the immediate appearances of your current reality. So, you stop being a reactive observer and become an active creator.
Through visualization, you enter a state where your desired reality is as vivid and real as your current physical experiences. This emotional alignment with your vision is a key factor in manifestation.
How to Practice the 4th-Dimensional Thinking?
Imaginal Acts
Practice ‘imaginal acts’ where you vividly picture and feel the reality of your desires. I’m not talking about daydreaming.
I mean “a deliberate and conscious” act of creating in the 4th dimension.
Living in the End
Adopt the mindset of ‘living in the end.’
Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
How would you feel, think, and act if your desires were already a reality? This is the essence of 4th-dimensional thinking.
How to Ignore 3D Reality When Manifesting: Conclusion
Ignoring 3D reality can be challenging, but it is not impossible.
By using the tips and techniques mentioned above, you can bridge the gap between your current reality and your desired one, and manifest your desires faster and easier.
Remember that 3D reality is only a shadow of your previous thinking.
You are the creator of your reality.
As Neville said, “The world is yourself pushed out.”
Now, I turn to you, dear reader.
