Neville Goddard on The wish fulfilled
Read these 8 lectures in order — they carry this idea most heavily, earliest first. After each one, take the suggested question to the mentor, who answers from Neville's own words.
The Power of Awareness (1952)
1952…I am God, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. Isaiah 46:9, 10. Creation is finished. Creativeness is only a deeper receptiveness, for the entire contents of all time and all space, while experienced in a time sequence, actually coexist in an infinite and eternal now. In other words, all that you ever have been or ever will be — in fact, all th…
The Law and the Promise (1961)
1961…I suggested to my friends that they build an imaginal structure as this woman had done, and that was to sleep, imagining they were physically present in their new home, feeling they had sold their old home. I explained to them the wide difference between thinking of the image of their new house, and thinking from the image of their new house. Thinking of it is a confession they are not in it; thin…
Five Lessons (A Master Class) (1948)
1948…Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action which implies fulfillment of the desire, to condense the idea into a single act, and to re-enact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality. Otherwise, your attention will wander off along an associational track, and hosts of associated images will be presented to your attention, and in a few seconds they will lead you hundr…
The Miracle of Imagination
undated…Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action to a single act and to reenact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality. Otherwise my attention wanders off along an associated track and hosts of assorted images will present themselves and lead me hundreds of miles away from my objective in point of space and years in point of time. If you decide to climb a particular fl…
Awakened Imagination (1954)
1954…The determinative animating principle was the imaginative ride. Her triumph could be a surprise only to those who did not know of her inner ride. She mentally viewed the world from this imaginative ride with such a clearness of vision that every aspect of the city attained identity. These inner movements not only produce corresponding outer movements: this is the law which operates beneath all phy…
Seedtime and Harvest (1956)
1956…The producer, the author, the director and the actor are the four most important characters in the production of a play. In the drama of life, the producer’s function is to suggest the theme of a play. This he does in the form of a wish, such as, “I wish I were successful”; “I wish I could take a trip”; “I wish I were married:, and so on. But to appear on the world’s stage, these general themes mu…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “The Friend of Sinners”
April 24, 1964…“I simply went on this thing…but strangely enough I was not only airborne, I was landed. I was in the zoo, I had almost completed the zoo, when suddenly it dawned on me what I had done the month before.” For this happened to him in actual fact on the 11th of April. It was a month before that he set the whole thing in motion…that’s how short our memories are. Between doing it and realizing it he ha…
Imagination Creates Reality
undated…Your present world reflects the sum total of all that you believe to be true of yourself and others. That which you imagine yourself to be today goes forward and will confront you in the future. If you have forgotten your imaginal activities of the past, that which you see appearing in your world indicates the kind of seeds you have previously sown. Assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled is u…
