When creating The Manifestation Tablet, I was slightly nervous about the chapter “Revision as Reality.” Why? Because it was such a profound understanding and would require huge levels of trust in oneself through the hermetic principles. Taking ownership of your past can seem non-feasible and not even possible in the context of revision.
But as I dove deeper into the research—from quantum physics to consciousness studies—I discovered we’re not alone in questioning the nature of time and memory. Scientists are now providing compelling evidence that the future may actually influence the past, and that consciousness operates outside the linear progression we’ve been taught to accept.
You see, most of us live as prisoners of our past. We carry the weight of every disappointment, every wound, every moment when we felt small or powerless. We tell ourselves these stories over and over: “I’m not good enough because of what happened when I was seven.” “I can’t trust love because of how I was hurt.” “I’ll never succeed because I failed before.”
But what if I told you that the past isn’t actually fixed? What if the memories that seem so solid, so unchangeable, are actually more fluid than we’ve been led to believe?
The Hermetic Foundation: All Is Mind
The ancient Hermetic principle states it simply: All is Mind. This isn’t just philosophical poetry—it’s pointing to a fundamental truth about the nature of reality. Everything you experience, including your memories, exists first in consciousness. And consciousness, by its very nature, is creative, fluid, and infinitely revisable.
Neville Goddard understood this when he taught that “the past is not dead—it is still alive and can be revised.” He wasn’t speaking metaphorically. He was pointing to a literal truth about how memory works in the architecture of consciousness. When you revise a memory, you’re not just changing how you think about it—you’re actually shifting the vibrational imprint it holds in your subconscious mind.
And here’s where it gets really interesting: your subconscious mind is the soil from which your reality grows. Change the soil, change the harvest.
When Science Meets Ancient Wisdom: The Case for Retrocausality
The intersection of modern physics and ancient mysticism has never been more compelling. Consider the groundbreaking work of researchers like Dean Radin at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, whose presentiment experiments have revolutionized our understanding of consciousness and time. Radin’s studies consistently show that people’s bodies react to emotionally charged images before the computer has even selected them, with successful replications by psychologist Dick Bierman at the University of Amsterdam and many others using various physiological measures like heart rate and pupil dilation.
These aren’t just laboratory curiosities—they’re evidence of what physicists call retrocausality, where future events influence past states. As researcher Eric Wargo explains in his seminal work Time Loops, “the event-to-be-experienced is causally acting back upon the now, whether in the form of a vivid precognitive dream or a sudden waking vision.”
Even more fascinating is the phenomenon of quantum retrocausality in laser beam and photon experiments, where future measurements appear to amplify past events. This suggests that consciousness operates outside the conventional rules of causality, that our future selves might actually be communicating with us through intuition, dreams, and sudden knowing.
Wargo’s research reveals that precognition “gives individuals oblique but valuable information about upheavals and learning experiences in their future, both in dreams and in waking life via intuition and artistic inspiration.” This isn’t wishful thinking—it’s a measurable phenomenon that challenges our entire understanding of linear time.
The Neuroscience of Memory: More Fluid Than We Thought
What makes revision so powerful isn’t just mystical—it’s neurological. Modern neuroscience reveals that memories aren’t fixed recordings but rather reconstructions that change each time we access them. Every time you recall a memory, you’re literally rewriting it in your brain, creating new neural pathways and potentially altering the emotional signature it carries.
This is where ancient wisdom meets cutting-edge brain science. The Hermetic principle that “All is Mind” isn’t just philosophical poetry—it’s pointing to a fundamental truth about how consciousness constructs reality. When you revise a memory, you’re not just changing how you think about it; you’re actually shifting the vibrational imprint it holds in your subconscious mind.
Research into precognitive dreams adds another layer to this understanding. J.W. Dunne’s systematic dream journaling revealed consistent evidence of dreams predicting mundane future events, suggesting that our dream consciousness regularly accesses information beyond the present moment. Eric Wargo’s work expands on this, proposing that dreams are messages from your future self—most people simply overlook these insights due to symbolic distortion or what he calls “dream noise.”
The implications are staggering: if consciousness can access future information through dreams and intuition, and if memories are constantly being rewritten in our brains, then the past truly isn’t as fixed as we believe. We have more agency over our personal timelines than we’ve been taught to imagine.
The Emotional Archaeology of Memory
Here’s something I’ve learned through my own practice with revision: memories aren’t just mental recordings. They’re emotional holograms, complete with feelings, sensations, and energetic signatures. When you revise a memory, you’re not just changing the story—you’re altering the emotional frequency that memory broadcasts into your present moment.
This is why revision feels so sacred, so profound. You’re literally performing emotional archaeology, excavating the wounded parts of yourself and offering them healing, love, and a new story. You’re saying to your younger self, to your hurt self, to your frightened self: “What if it had been different? What if you had been held, seen, supported? What if that experience had actually been a gift in disguise?”
The beauty of this practice is that your subconscious mind doesn’t distinguish between a “real” memory and a vividly imagined one. Both create neural pathways. Both carry emotional weight. Both influence your current reality. So when you consciously choose to revise a memory with love, compassion, and wisdom, you’re literally rewiring your internal landscape.
The Practical Magic of Timeline Healing:
Step 1: Sacred Witness Identify a memory that still carries an emotional charge. Notice how it feels in your body when you think about it. Don’t judge it—just witness it with compassion.
Step 2: Divine Neutrality Enter a calm, meditative state. This is crucial. You can’t revise from a place of reactivity or victimhood. You must become the loving, wise observer—the part of you that sees from a higher perspective.
Step 3: Creative Revision Now, re-imagine the scene. But this time, you’re the director. Change what was said. Change how you felt. Perhaps your adult self appears to comfort your younger self. Perhaps divine guidance intervenes. Perhaps you respond with wisdom instead of fear. Feel this new version as if it truly happened.
Step 4: Embodied Integration This is the key: you must feel the revised memory in your body, not just think it. Let the new emotional signature settle into your cells. Your nervous system needs to experience this new reality viscerally.
The Ripple Effect: From Inner Revision to Outer Reality
The practical implications of this research are profound. When you consistently practice revision, you’re not just engaging in wishful thinking—you’re actively participating in a process that both ancient mystics and modern scientists are documenting. Remote viewing studies, including those conducted by intelligence agencies, show that consciousness can access information about distant locations and even future events with startling accuracy.
Consider the work at the Monroe Institute, where structured protocols for exploring consciousness have yielded decades of consistent results. Practitioners report accessing future information through various states of consciousness, from lucid dreaming to what some call astral projection. These experiences suggest that our awareness isn’t confined to the present moment—it can range freely through time when we learn to access the right states of consciousness.
This scientific backing gives weight to what revision practitioners have always known: when you heal your past through conscious reimagining, your present moment begins to shift. Old patterns lose their grip because their energetic foundation has been altered. New possibilities emerge because you’re no longer broadcasting the same limiting frequencies from your subconscious mind.
As Dean Radin’s research demonstrates, “mind-to-mind and some forms of mind-matter interactions have been demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt” based on thousands of peer-reviewed experiments. This isn’t fringe science—it’s an emerging understanding of consciousness that supports what mystics have taught for millennia.
The Sacred Science of Timeline Healing
This chapter challenges us to understand that we are the creator of our reality, and the more we trust the divine within us—recognizing that our experiences are meant to grow us and help us ascend into higher realities—the more we will manifest without thinking we need to. Manifestation becomes internal emotional independence. You are good with it and good without it, because you are already whole and you absolutely have the power to choose a new truth: past, present, and future.
The convergence of quantum physics research, consciousness studies, and ancient wisdom traditions points to a revolutionary understanding: we are not victims of our past, but active participants in a dynamic, fluid reality where past, present, and future exist in constant dialogue. When you engage in revision, you’re not just changing your story—you’re participating in the fundamental creative process of consciousness itself.
The Invitation
So I invite you to consider: where in your past are you still assuming a lesser identity? What memories still whisper “you’re not enough” or “you’re not safe” or “you’re not worthy”?
Can you love yourself enough to revise those memories? Can you trust the divine intelligence within you to rewrite your story from a place of wholeness rather than woundedness?
This is not about denial or spiritual bypassing. It’s about recognizing that you are not bound by time in the way you thought you were. You are the dreamer, capable of lucid dreaming your own past into alignment with your highest truth.
The past is not dead. It is alive, fluid, and waiting for your loving revision.
Remember: you have the power to shift your timeline—past, present, and future—by aligning with the divine intelligence that you are. This is not just a technique; it’s a remembering of your true nature as a conscious creator of reality.
The question isn’t whether you can revise your past. The question is: what story will you choose to tell from this moment forward?
