How to Manifest an Apology
Being hurt by someone and never receiving an apology can be one of the most frustrating and painful experiences. The wound stays open. The resentment builds. You replay what happened and wonder why they cannot just say sorry. According to Neville Goddard's Law of Assumption, you do not need to wait for them to have a change of heart on their own. You can assume the apology into existence.
This is not about forcing someone to say words they do not mean. Neville taught that everyone in your reality is you pushed out, a reflection of your own consciousness. When someone refuses to apologize, they are reflecting an assumption you hold, perhaps the assumption that people do not take accountability, that you do not deserve the closure you need, or that this person is incapable of growth. When you change the assumption, the person changes.
Manifesting an apology is deeply healing work. It is not just about hearing the words "I am sorry." It is about restoring your sense of justice, releasing the resentment that poisons your peace, and allowing yourself to move forward. The apology is the external confirmation of an internal shift you are making: the shift from victim to creator.
Before you begin manifesting the apology, get clear on what you actually need. Do you need specific words? Do you need them to acknowledge exactly what they did? Do you need them to show changed behavior? The more clear you are, the more specific and powerful your SATS scene can be.
Best Techniques for Manifesting an Apology
SATS Scene for an Apology
As you fall asleep, imagine receiving a message or having a conversation where this person apologizes sincerely. Here is an example scene:
Imagine your phone buzzes. You look at the screen and see their name. You open the message and it reads: "I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I owe you an apology. What I did was wrong, and I am truly sorry. You did not deserve that, and I take full responsibility. I hope you can forgive me, but I understand if you need time."
Feel the relief wash over you as you read those words. Feel the tension in your body release. Feel the vindication. They finally get it. They finally see what they did. You take a deep breath and feel lighter than you have in months. Let that feeling of relief and closure carry you into sleep.
Alternatively, imagine a face-to-face conversation. They sit down across from you, look you in the eyes, and say, "I need you to know that I am sorry. I was wrong. You deserved better from me." Feel the sincerity in their voice. Feel yourself soften. Feel the healing begin.
Affirmations for Receiving an Apology
- [Person's name] sincerely apologizes to me and takes full responsibility
- I deserve acknowledgment, accountability, and genuine apologies
- People who hurt me recognize their mistakes and make it right
- I am receiving the closure and healing I deserve
- [Person's name] sees clearly how their actions affected me and they are sorry
- Apologies come to me because I am valued and respected
- I release resentment because the apology is already done
- Accountability and repair are natural in my relationships
Revision Technique for Healing
Neville Goddard's revision technique is especially powerful for situations where you have been hurt. Before sleep, replay the hurtful event in your imagination, but change the ending. Instead of the person hurting you, imagine them saying or doing the right thing. Imagine the situation resolving with love and respect. This does not change the past event in the physical world, but it changes your emotional relationship to it. It rewrites the assumption that this person is someone who hurts you without accountability.
Revision works on multiple levels. It heals the emotional wound, shifts your assumption about the person, and often catalyzes the actual apology in the physical world because you are no longer holding the assumption of being unacknowledged.
Common Mistakes When Manifesting an Apology
Manifesting from anger rather than from the wish fulfilled. If you are imagining the apology while feeling furious, you are not in the right state. The person who has already received the apology feels relieved, not angry. You need to access the feeling of having already been apologized to, which is peace, not rage.
Needing the apology to feel okay. If your emotional wellbeing is entirely dependent on this apology, you are giving your power away. Do the inner healing work first. Use the revision technique. Build your self-concept so that your peace does not hinge on another person's words. Paradoxically, when you no longer need the apology, it often comes faster.
Rehearsing the hurt over and over. Every time you replay what they did, you reinforce the assumption of being wronged without resolution. You are essentially manifesting more of the same. Break the cycle by replacing the replay with your SATS scene of the apology.
Expecting a specific form. The apology might not come exactly as you imagine. It might be a text when you imagined a call. It might be indirect, through their changed behavior rather than explicit words. Stay open to the form while holding firm on the feeling of resolution.
FAQ
Can I manifest an apology from someone who seems completely unapologetic?
Yes. Remember that the person in your reality reflects your assumptions. If you assume they are incapable of apologizing, they will remain that way. When you assume they are someone who recognizes their mistakes and takes accountability, they shift. Many people have received apologies from individuals they thought would never say sorry.
What if I do not want to forgive them even after the apology?
Forgiveness is for you, not for them. Neville taught that holding onto resentment keeps you locked in an old state. You do not have to resume the relationship or pretend the hurt did not happen. But releasing the resentment frees you to move into a better state of consciousness. The apology manifestation often naturally leads to this release.
Can I manifest an apology from someone who has passed away?
Neville's revision technique works regardless of whether the person is alive. You can revise the situation in your imagination and experience the emotional resolution you need. Many people find deep healing through revising interactions with people who are no longer living.
Should I reach out to them or wait for the apology to come?
Let it come to you. Reaching out to ask for an apology puts you in the state of needing it, which is the opposite of having it. If you feel genuinely inspired to reach out from a calm and confident place, that could be the bridge of incidents. But if the urge comes from impatience or desperation, wait.

Revision vs Mental Diet
Revision and mental diet serve different but complementary purposes. Revision heals the past and removes limiting impressions, while mental diet shapes your present and future assumptions. Together, they form a complete inner practice. If you must choose one, mental diet has broader daily impact.
VSSelf-Concept vs Techniques
Self-concept is the foundation; techniques are the tools. Without a strong self-concept, techniques produce inconsistent results. With a strong self-concept, even simple techniques become powerful. Prioritize self-concept work, and use techniques to reinforce and accelerate the inner shift.
