Neville Goddard Quotes

For life makes no mistakes and always gives man that which man first gives himself.

NOTHING is impossible to you.

An awakened imagination works with a purpose. It creates and conserves the desirable, and transforms or destroys the undesirable.

Your inner being is he who men call God.

All transformation begins with an intense, burning desire to be transformed. The first step in the 'renewing of the mind' is desire. You must want to be different [and intend to be] before you can begin to change yourself. Then you must make your future dream a present fact. You do this by assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled. By desiring to be other than what you are, you can create an ideal of the person you want to be and assume that you are already that person. If this assumption is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is inevitable.

Do not waste one moment in regret, for to think feelingly of the mistakes of the past is to re-infect yourself.

Sleep conceals the creative act while the objective world reveals it. In sleep man impresses the subconscious with his conception of himself.

Use your imagination lovingly on behalf of another.

The difference between FEELING yourself in action, here and now, and visualizing yourself in action, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference between success and failure.

You are already that which you want to be, and your refusal to believe this is the only reason you do not see it.

Live your life in a sublime spirit of confidence and determination.

The great secret is a controlled imagination and a well-sustained attention, firmly and repeatedly focused on the object to be accomplished.

Man's responsibility, then, is to choose his destination; the motive power to bring him there is furnished by the Infinite.

Only as one is willing to give up his present limitations and identity can he become that which he desires to be.

If you judge after appearances, you will continue to be enslaved by the evidence of your senses.

Have faith in your imaginel act.

All the honors of men in a state of sleep are as nothing.

THE FIRST STEP in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objective - know definitely what you want. SECOND: construct an event which you believe you would encounter following the fulfillment of your desire - an event which implies fulfillment of your desire - something which will have the action of Self predominant.

A change of feeling is a change of destiny.

Feeling is the secret.

You must assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled until your assumption has all the sensory vividness of reality. You must imagine that you are already experiencing what you desire. That is, you must assume the feeling of the fulfillment of your desire until you are possessed by it and this feeling crowds all other ideas out of your consciousness.

I AM wealthy, poor, healthy, sick, free, confined were first of all impressions or conditions felt before they became visible expressions. Your world is your consciousness objectified. Waste no time trying to change the outside; change the within or the impression; and the without or expression will take care of itself. When the truth of this statement dawns upon you, you will know that you have found the lost word or the key to every door. I AM (your consciousness) is the magical lost word which was made flesh in the likeness of that which you are conscious of being.

Truth depends upon the intensity of imagination, not upon facts.

Man's chief delusion is his conviction that there are causes other than his own state of consciousness.

I imagine that people see me as they would see me if I were the man that I want to be.

Imagination and faith are the secrets of creation.

All conceptions are limitations of the conceiver.

Fools exploit the world; the wise transfigure it.

You do not have to persuade others to help you; all you need do is believe you are what you want to be and then let the world (which is nothing more than yourself pushed out) go to work to make your assumption possible.

Health, wealth, beauty, and genius are not created; they are only manifested by the arrangement of your mind-that is, by your concept of yourself, and your concept of yourself is all that you accept and consent to as true.

The cornerstone on which all things are based is man's concept of himself.

The ideal we serve and strive to attain could never be evolved from us were it not potentially involved in our nature.

The world is yourself pushed out. Ask yourself what you want and then give it to yourself! Do not question how it will come about; just go your way knowing that the evidence of what you have done must appear, and it will.

Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live. Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change.

To desire a state is to have it.

What you consent to can only be discovered by an uncritical observation of your reactions to life. Your reactions reveal where you live psychologically; and where you live psychologically, determines how you live here in the outer visible world.

Imagination is seeing with the eye of God.
