My Neville GoddardNeville Goddard Teachings: Source-Grounded Study Guide
These are Neville Goddard's core teachings, organized as source-grounded study guides. Each page draws only on his actual lectures and books and links to the lectures, books, word studies, and scripture where the teaching appears.
Bridge of Incidents
The 'bridge of incidents' is the series of natural-seeming events that appears after you assume a state, leading you automatically to the fulfillment of your desire.
Consciousness
According to Neville Goddard, consciousness is the one and only reality, the cause and substance of the entire world, which objectifies whatever a person is conscious of being.
Desire
Desire is the mainspring of all action and the first step in transformation, impelling you to use your imagination to experience the state of the wish fulfilled.
Everyone Is You Pushed Out
The world and everyone in it is a reflection of your own consciousness, a mirror showing you what you are assuming to be true within yourself.
Feeling Is the Secret
According to Neville, feeling is the one and only medium through which ideas are impressed upon the subconscious mind to create reality.
I AM
Neville Goddard teaches that 'I AM' is the name of God, your own unconditioned awareness of being, which is the sole cause and creator of your reality.
Imagination
According to Neville, your own human imagination is the creative power of God within you, the instrument by which you create your world and change your future.
Inner Conversations
According to Neville Goddard, your inner conversations are the creative force that shapes your reality, and by consciously directing them, you can determine your future.
Law of Assumption
The Law of Assumption states that by assuming the feeling of your wish already fulfilled, your assumption, if persisted in, will harden into objective fact.
Living in the End
To 'live in the end' is to imaginatively occupy the state of your desire fulfilled, thinking from that state rather than of it, until it becomes your reality.
Prayer
According to Neville, prayer is the art of believing and the master key to all problems, achieved by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled until it becomes your reality.
Revision
Revision is the practice of mentally rewriting any past event as you wish it had happened in order to change its effects on your present and future reality.
State Akin to Sleep (SATS)
The 'state akin to sleep' is a controlled, drowsy condition used to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, bypassing the rational mind and impressing the subconscious.
States
A state is an attitude of mind or set of beliefs that you occupy, which then objectifies itself as the circumstances of your life.
The Promise
The Promise is God's unconditional plan to give Himself to you, fulfilled when David is revealed as your Son, proving you are God the Father.
The Wish Fulfilled
To realize your desire, you must assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, denying the evidence of your senses and living from the conviction that your prayer is already answered.
