THE SUBLIMINAL LOFT · OUR TEACHERS

The voices behind our vision

Before there were audios, there was a question: how do we remain faithful to a new reality while living in the old one?

For the past eight years, I have consciously studied and practised manifestation. I have read, listened, imagined, repeated, questioned, and returned to these teachings through the changing seasons of my own life. I began to understand that consciously creating a new reality is also the work of becoming familiar with a new way of thinking, feeling, and seeing ourselves.

I opened The Subliminal Loft in 2023 because I wanted to make that practice easier to return to. Our audios give your chosen story a voice you can hear again tomorrow, a scene you can revisit, and words you can take into your day. The teachers below helped us understand why that matters. They are the roots of the work we do.

THE TEACHINGS THE PRACTICE THE AUDIOS

01 · IMAGINE FROM THE END

1905–1972

Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard was a Barbadian writer and speaker who taught that imagination is central to the experience of creating a different life. In his work, a desire was not simply something to think about from afar. He invited people to imagine a scene that would be natural if the desire were already fulfilled, and to experience that scene inwardly as themselves.

This changed how we understood persistence. To persist is not to spend every moment checking whether something has happened. It is to notice when we have returned to an old identity and gently take up the feeling of the chosen one again. Neville called attention to the state we occupy: the version of ourselves from which we think, interpret events, and respond to life.

Through eight years of conscious practice, his teaching has remained one of our anchors. A person can choose a new story and still have an ordinary day filled with old reminders. That is precisely when returning matters. Each return gives the desired state another moment of familiarity.

How he shaped our audios: We create immersive stories and personal affirmations that place you inside a desired experience. The invitation is to listen from within your new story, rather than only longing for it from outside.

02 · GIVE THE NEW STORY WORDS

1871–1940

Florence Scovel Shinn

Florence Scovel Shinn was an American artist who became a metaphysical writer and teacher. She wrote about the power of spoken words, faith, and the expectations we carry into everyday life. Her work asks a beautifully practical question: what are we repeatedly saying about ourselves and our future?

Florence helped us pay attention to the sentences that can pass unnoticed through a day. “Things never work out for me.” “I always lose what I love.” When words like these feel familiar, they can become the language of an old identity. Her teaching invites us to choose our words with greater care and to remain faithful to the possibility we are welcoming.

That is why we value repetition. We are not looking for one perfect sentence said once. We want to make a kinder, more intentional inner conversation available often enough that you recognise it when you need it. A mantra can become a way of returning to what you have chosen to believe.

How she shaped our audios: Her work lives in the affirmations and mantras we write. We consider the words carefully, because these are words you may choose to hear and speak again and again.

03 · MEET THE BELIEF BENEATH THE THOUGHT

1898–1981

Dr. Joseph Murphy

Dr. Joseph Murphy was an Irish-born New Thought minister and writer best known for The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. His writing explored the beliefs we accept and the way an idea repeated over time can become part of our familiar inner world.

Murphy helped us ask a deeper question than “What do I want?” We began asking, “Who do I believe I am in relation to what I want?” A desire for love can sit beside an old belief that we are difficult to love. A desire for abundance can sit beside a deeply familiar expectation of loss. For us, the work of self-concept is to notice those inner stories and begin relating to ourselves differently.

His work also helped us appreciate why personal language matters. Two people may desire the same outcome, but the beliefs each person is returning from are different. One might need to feel chosen. Another might need to feel safe, capable, or free to receive. We want our custom work to speak to the person as well as the desire.

How he shaped our audios: We make room for self-concept in our writing. Alongside the reality you desire, we consider the identity you want to practise inhabiting within it.

04 · PRACTISE THE PERSON YOU ARE BECOMING

Contemporary teacher

Dr. Joe Dispenza

Dr. Joe Dispenza is a contemporary author and teacher whose work focuses on becoming aware of familiar patterns and practising a different inner experience. His approach helped us think about change as a practice that deserves time and attention, rather than an inspiring idea we hear once and forget.

He encouraged a question that became important in our journey: if an old identity has been rehearsed for years, what would it look like to devote time to a new one? We can notice how we habitually think and feel, then make space to imagine and embody a different possibility.

What we took from his work is the value of showing up for that practice consistently. There may be days when it feels natural and days when it feels unfamiliar. We need not judge either day. We can make time to return, and allow the new experience to become more recognisable to us.

How he shaped our audios: We design listening experiences you can return to as part of a regular practice: a moment to pause, enter your chosen story, and spend time with the person you are becoming.

05 · REMAIN IN THE STATE

Abdullah

We know Abdullah largely through the stories Neville Goddard told about studying with him. Although reliable birth and death dates are difficult to establish, his influence comes through clearly in Neville’s accounts: Abdullah asked his student to stop approaching a desire as something distant and to experience its fulfilment inwardly.

The story of Neville wanting to visit Barbados brings this teaching to life. Neville could see the obstacles in front of him. Abdullah repeatedly returned him to a different position: in imagination, the journey was already real. For us, the power of the story is not in denying that obstacles exist. It is in asking which experience we keep occupying within ourselves.

Abdullah helped us connect the teachings of imagination and persistence. If we want to remain in a chosen state, it helps to know what that state feels like from the inside. What might we see? What might we hear? Who would be there? What would feel ordinary in that new life?

How he shaped our audios: We use sensory details and, in custom work, the names, dates, and places you choose to share. These details help make a desired scene feel personal enough to step into.

The Holy Bible

The Bible has a place in our faith and in the way we reflect on inner change. It is a collection of books written across different periods, so it cannot be given one birth date as a person can. Its long history reminds us that questions about belief, hope, transformation, and the promises we hold have accompanied people for generations.

Alongside its spiritual meaning, we also read parts of the Bible through a metaphysical lens. We look at its stories and ask what they may reveal about identity, imagination, faith, and the possibility of becoming new. This is our interpretation, shared with respect for people who read these texts in other ways.

For us, the Bible is part of the deeper thread connecting the teachers on this page. Again and again, we return to questions of what we believe, where we place our attention, and whether we can remain faithful to a promise before it becomes visible in our lives.

How it shaped our audios: It reminds us to treat the inner story with care. Our work invites you to make time for the reality you are choosing and to return to it with intention.

FROM STUDY TO CREATION

Why we make what we make

These teachers did not all use the same words or teach identical methods. We do not need them to. Over eight years of conscious practice, we found a thread that connected their work to ours: the old story becomes familiar through repetition, and a new story deserves time, attention, and somewhere to live.

Neville taught us to imagine from the end. Florence brought our attention to the words we repeat. Murphy led us to examine the beliefs beneath those words. Dr. Joe Dispenza encouraged regular practice. Abdullah gave us a vivid picture of remaining in the chosen state. Our reading of the Bible continues to deepen the questions of faith and inner transformation that brought us here.

In 2023, I brought these lessons into The Subliminal Loft. We create audios because returning can be made personal: a voice you connect with, a story that contains details from your life, a mantra for your day, or a soundscape that helps you settle into your chosen experience.

This is our invitation: spend time with the reality you are creating, and give yourself somewhere beautiful to return to.
