Neville Goddard
"Imagining creates reality."
Neville Lancelot Goddard
The human imagination is the very identity of God, and the world is the outpicturing of what is persistently entertained within it. There is no other operant power.
Assumption
An assumption, persisted in, hardens into fact. Hold the end. Do not negotiate the means.
The State Akin to Sleep
At the threshold of sleep the doors of imagination stand open. Enter as a believer; the impression sets.
Revision
The day is not done with you until you revise it. Re-imagine the events of the day until they conform to your ideal.
The Bible as Psychology
Scripture is not history; it is the autobiography of the awakening human being. Every name is a state.
Enter the state akin to sleep, then live, in imagination, the scene that implies your wish fulfilled. Feel its reality. Sleep in that assumption.
"Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and continue feeling that it is fulfilled until that which you feel objectifies itself."
"You are already that which you wish to be, and your refusal to believe this is the only reason you do not see it."
"Man is all imagination. God is man and exists in us and we in him."
"Sleep is the door through which we enter the Kingdom."
