Specific Person (SP)

What Is a Specific Person (SP)?

In manifestation communities, a specific person, abbreviated as SP, refers to a particular individual you want to manifest a relationship with or improve your existing relationship with. This is one of the most popular applications of Neville Goddard's teachings, as many people discover manifestation through a desire to be with someone specific.

Neville himself did not use the term "SP," but he taught extensively about using imagination to influence relationships. His fundamental teaching applies directly: if you assume the feeling of being in a loving, fulfilling relationship with a specific person, and persist in that assumption, your outer reality must conform.

Can You Manifest a Specific Person?

This is the most common question in manifestation communities, and according to Neville's teachings, the answer is yes. Neville taught that everyone is you pushed out, meaning that other people in your reality conform to your assumptions about them. When you change your inner assumptions about a specific person, their behavior toward you changes.

Neville shared his own experience of manifesting his second wife, who was married to another man at the time. He assumed they were married, persisted in that assumption despite seemingly impossible circumstances, and eventually his assumption hardened into fact. He used this as evidence that specific person manifestation is not only possible but operates by the same law as any other manifestation.

How to Manifest a Specific Person

1. Work on Self-Concept First

Before focusing on a specific person, examine your beliefs about yourself in relationships. Do you believe you are worthy of love? Do you assume people naturally want to be with you? A weak self-concept will undermine your SP work because you will struggle to sustain the assumption of being loved.

Common self-concept affirmations for SP work include: "I am always the first choice," "I am deeply loved and desired," "My relationships are easy and fulfilling."

2. Define Your End Scene

Create a short imaginal scene that implies you are already in your desired relationship with your SP. This might be lying in bed together, having a conversation about your life together, or wearing a wedding ring. The scene should feel natural and settled, not dramatic or desperate.

3. Practice in SATS

Each night as you drift toward sleep, play your scene with your SP. See them clearly. Hear their voice. Feel their presence. Most importantly, feel the emotional satisfaction of being together as a natural, established fact.

4. Maintain Your Inner State During the Day

Throughout the day, catch your inner conversations about your SP. Are you worrying about them? Are you checking their social media? Are you telling friends how they are not texting back? Every one of these thoughts reinforces the old story. Instead, think from the assumption that you are together and happy.

5. Let Go of the How and When

You do not need to figure out how your SP will come into your life or come back. You do not need to make them contact you. The bridge of incidents handles the logistics. Your only job is to maintain your inner assumption.

Common Challenges in SP Manifestation

Third Parties

If your SP is in a relationship with someone else, this can trigger intense doubt and desperation. Neville's teaching is clear: a third party is simply part of the current 3D reflection of old assumptions. They are not an obstacle to your manifestation. Focus on your end scene, which implies you and your SP are together, and let the bridge of incidents handle the rest.

No Contact

If your SP has blocked you or you are not in communication, do not try to force contact. Contact is a bridge, not the end. Your end is the fulfilled relationship. Many successful SP manifestations involve periods of no contact before circumstances naturally bring the people back together.

Obsession vs. Practice

There is a critical difference between practicing your assumption from a place of peace and obsessively thinking about your SP from a place of lack. If every waking moment is consumed with desperate thoughts about your SP, you are reinforcing the state of not having them. The goal is to feel so secure in your assumption that you can go about your day with calm confidence.

The Ethics Question

A common concern is whether manifesting a specific person violates their free will. Neville addressed this by teaching that you are not controlling another person. You are shifting your own assumptions and consciousness. The other person's behavior changes because your experience of reality changes. Neville believed that consciousness is the only reality and that we are all connected within it.

Ultimately, Neville taught that you should manifest from love, not control. The healthiest SP manifestations come from assuming a loving, mutual relationship where both people are happy, not from a desire to possess or control.

Common Questions

How long does it take to manifest an SP?

There is no universal timeline. It depends on the strength of your assumption, the consistency of your inner state, and how much resistance you carry. Some people see movement within days, while others persist for weeks or months. The key is the naturalness of your assumption, not the passage of time.

Should I take action toward my SP?

Only take action that feels inspired and natural from your assumed state. Do not chase, beg, or strategize. If you feel moved to send a friendly message from a place of confidence, that is fine. If you want to text them from desperation, that is your old state talking.
