Everyone Is You Pushed Out (EIYPO)

What Is Everyone Is You Pushed Out?

Everyone is you pushed out, often abbreviated as EIYPO, is one of Neville Goddard's most powerful and challenging teachings. It states that the people in your life are reflecting your own assumptions, beliefs, and inner conversations back to you. Others do not act independently of your consciousness. Instead, they conform to the role you have assigned them through your dominant thoughts and feelings about them.

Neville expressed this directly: "The world is yourself pushed out. Ask yourself what you want and then give it to yourself." This does not mean that other people are not real or that they lack their own consciousness. It means that your experience of them is shaped entirely by your internal state.

How EIYPO Works

Consider a practical example. If you believe your boss is difficult and critical, you will consistently experience that behavior from them. You might say, "But they really are critical, everyone at work agrees." Yet Neville would point out that your assumption came first. You decided your boss was critical, and your reality reflected that assumption.

Now imagine shifting your inner conversation. Instead of mentally rehearsing your boss's criticism, you begin to imagine them praising your work, being supportive and kind. You hold this new assumption consistently. Over time, you start to notice changes. Perhaps your boss becomes warmer, or you receive unexpected positive feedback. The outer shifted because the inner shifted first.

This works with everyone: romantic partners, family members, friends, strangers, and even groups of people. Your assumptions about them determine how they show up in your world.

Why EIYPO Matters for Manifestation

Understanding EIYPO is transformative because it moves you from a position of victimhood to one of complete creative power. If others are reflecting your inner state, then you are never at the mercy of someone else's behavior. You always have the ability to change the reflection by changing the source, which is your own consciousness.

This is particularly important in relationships. Many people try to change others through action, persuasion, or confrontation. EIYPO teaches that the most effective way to change someone's behavior toward you is to change your inner assumptions about them.

How to Apply EIYPO

1. Examine Your Inner Conversations

Pay attention to what you mentally say about the people in your life. Do you rehearse arguments? Do you assume the worst about someone's intentions? These inner conversations are instructions to your reality. They determine how people treat you.

2. Revise Your Assumptions

For any person whose behavior you want to change, create a new inner narrative. If you want your partner to be more affectionate, begin to imagine them being affectionate. Hear them say loving things in your mind. Feel the warmth of a close connection. Make this your dominant inner experience of them.

3. Stop Telling the Old Story

Every time you complain about someone or retell a negative experience, you reinforce the old assumption. Neville was clear about this: stop giving life to what you do not want. When you catch yourself in the old narrative, gently redirect to the new one.

4. Be Patient With the Reflection

The physical world is like a mirror with a slight delay. When you change your inner assumption, the outer reflection will not shift instantly. There may be a period where the old behavior continues while the new assumption solidifies. This is normal. Persist in your new inner state, and the reflection must eventually match.

The Responsibility of EIYPO

This teaching carries significant responsibility. If everyone is you pushed out, then you cannot blame others for your experience. This can be difficult to accept, especially in situations involving genuine pain or hardship. Neville did not teach this to create guilt but to empower. The past was created by unconscious assumptions. Now that you are aware, you can consciously choose new ones.

It is also important to understand that EIYPO does not mean you caused specific events or that you are responsible for others' suffering in a moral sense. It means that your experience of reality is filtered through and shaped by your consciousness. You have the power to reshape that experience.

Common Questions

Does EIYPO mean other people are not real?

No. Other people are real, conscious beings with their own inner worlds. EIYPO refers to your experience of them. In your reality, they conform to your assumptions. In their reality, they are operating from their own consciousness. The teaching is about your creative power over your own experience, not about denying others' existence.

Can I use EIYPO to manifest a specific person?

Yes, this is one of the most common applications. By changing your inner assumptions about a specific person, you change how they show up in your experience. However, practitioners generally recommend building a strong self-concept first, as your assumptions about yourself directly influence how others treat you.

What if someone treated me badly before I knew about EIYPO?

Neville taught that we create unconsciously all the time. Before becoming aware of these principles, your assumptions were running on autopilot. The value of EIYPO is not in assigning blame for the past but in giving you tools to consciously create your future experiences.
