About Neville Goddard 🧲

Neville Goddard (1905-1972) was a profoundly influential teacher and an avid believer, advocator and teacher of the Law of Assumption. Relating to the Law of Attraction, it involves manifesting goals by visualizing them as achieved and focusing on the feelings that gives. He wrote about this, self help, and self leadership in the early to mid 1900s and would often refer to it as “living in the end”. This not only includes the feeling, but the knock on effects of this. For example, acting this way, embodying this state, reaffirming it through inner talk and other expressions of “having one’s wish fulfilled”.

He did not associate himself as a metaphysician, but is highly lauded by groups like this. Born Neville Lancelot Goddard, he illustrated the teachings of psychological truth intended in Biblical and ancient teachings, as well as restoring awareness of meaning to what the ancients intended to tell the world.

He also believed that God is not an external entity, but that we are all descendants of God experiencing this reality from different viewpoints. As God is the creator, he believed that we can create our reality and that all realities can be shifted at any time through feeling and assumption. He believed our imaginations to be the limitless and Godly (the “immortal man”) and that this is the foundation to manifestation.

As well as visualizing future goals achieved in the present and that “feeling is key” to manifest them, he also spoke of ‘revising’ past events to a preferred outcome to that of what happened. Doing this brings a better feeling/state in the present moment such as confidence, happiness and contentment. There’s a fine line with lying to yourself to not take ownership of wrong doings and/or not learning from mistakes, but the intention is to alleviate any negative thoughts and feelings being held onto from past events to move on from them and embody a more positive state/energy to attract more good/manifest your goals. This is touched on in the 5th video of Neville Goddard further down the page.

Neville Goddard’s Divine Laws 🌌

Neville Goddard refers to a number of divine laws to understand and actuate manifestation. These are explained in the 6th video further down this page, but are also listed below for a visual breakdown which is easy to refer to.

The Law of Assumption – “The law that governs all manifestation it’s called The Law of Assumption and it works with mathematical precision. The mere fact that you’re encountering this message is a seed planted in the garden of your Consciousness waiting to bloom into the most magnificent expression of your desired reality. Many think of external circumstances like a new job, a relationship or material success, but I tell you this the biggest change, the only change that truly matters is the change in your Consciousness, for when you change your Consciousness, the outer world has no choice but to conform to your new assumption.”

Divine Timing – “Divine timing in action is your spiritual awakening calling you to a higher state of consciousness. Coincidence it is what I call Divine Timing you see Consciousness is the only reality and your presence here is a manifestation of your readiness for transformation. Your own wonderful human imagination, your own consciousness, your imagination has orchestrated this perfect moment of recognition this Divine Appointment with your higher self consider what I call the principle of Spiritual Readiness. Just as a fruit ripens at its appointed time, your consciousness ripens for specific Revelations and Transformations at the perfect moment.”

The Law of Conscious Selection – “Law of Conscious Selection is a profound truth. In your garden, you wouldn’t plant seeds until the soil is properly prepared. Similarly, leading thoughts within you wouldn’t bring you to this message until your Consciousness was prepared to receive it and act upon it.”

The Principle of Imminent Manifestation – “When a woman is pregnant, there comes a time when when birth is imminent. No amount of denial or resistance can prevent it. Similarly, when transformation has been conceived in Consciousness, its manifestation becomes inevitable. The changes coming into your life are like that, they have already been conceived in the womb of your Consciousness, your recognition of this message is the first contraction signalling that birth is imminent.”

The Principle of Spiritual Gestation – “The Proximity of your transformation you see Consciousness follows a pattern of unfoldment that I call the Principle of Spiritual Gestation. Just as a child develops in the womb according to a perfect pattern, your manifestation develops in Consciousness according to divine order.”

The Law of Conscious Authority –  “Many of you might feel that changes happen to you that you are at the mercy of external circumstances, but I tell you this, you are the operator in power, you are the one giving life to every circumstance through your Consciousness. ‘Thou shalt decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee’. This decree isn’t made with your lips it’s made in Consciousness.”

Divine Orchestration – “Every event in your life, every circumstance, every encounter is orchestrated by your own wonderful human imagination. There are no accidents in Consciousness. Your encounter with this message is a deliberate orchestration of your own higher self, the changes coming into your life aren’t random events, they are the perfect unfoldment of your own Conscious Creation.”

The Law of Spiritual Velocity – “When water reaches a certain temperature, it doesn’t gradually become steam, it transforms instantly. Similarly, Consciousness has points of intensity where transformation becomes inevitable. “Behold I make all things new”. This making new isn’t a gradual process it’s an instant Assumption of a new state. The very intensity of your recognition of this message is the heat that transforms the water of your old Consciousness into the steam of your new state now.”

The Principle of Conscious Acceleration – “When a rocket reaches escape velocity, it breaks free from Earth’s gravitational pull. Your Consciousness operates similarly. There comes a point when your new assumptions generate enough momentum to break free from old patterns. Consider what I call the Law of Spiritual velocity; the speed at which your transformation manifests is directly proportional to the intensity of your assumption.”

The Law of Spiritual Momentum – “When a boulder begins rolling downhill, it generates its own momentum. Similarly, once you begin this transformation in Consciousness, it creates its own momentum. Your recognition of this message is the initial push that starts the boulder rolling.”

The Principle of Spiritual Architectures – “Just as an architect first sees the completed building in his mind before any physical construction begins, you must see your transformed state in Consciousness before it can manifest in your world.”

The Principle of Divine Sequence – “Just as a flower must first form a bud before it can bloom, your transformation follows a Divine sequence.”

The Law of Conscious Momentum – “Many believe change requires constant effort, but I tell you this; once Consciousness reaches a certain velocity, it generates its own momentum.”

The Lord’s Spiritual Chain – “Reaction just as one atomic reaction can trigger a cascade of reactions. One shifting Consciousness can trigger a cascade of transformations.”

The Law of Conscious Culmination – “In the Book of Revelation, it is written ‘behold I stand at the door and knock’. This door isn’t physical, it’s the door of your Consciousness and this message is that not calling you to open to your transformation. You see your presence here isn’t just another moment in time it’s what I call the point of divine convergence. Everything in your life has been leading to this moment of recognition, every experience, every challenge, every triumph has prepared your consciousness for this transformation.”

In the videos below, Neville Goddard and others talk about practical Law of Attraction techniques that they have found useful. This includes a who, what, where, when, why and how technique for visualization. Mike Dooley and Anita Moorjani also discuss that focussing on the feeling what you want to attract as if it has happened as key. They also believe that visualization is a tool that can be used to achieve this, but the attracting is in feeling what this would bring. This all reflects Neville Goddard’s teachings.

An interesting analogy from Mike Dooley that puts this into a more relatable perspective is that if you keep telling yourself you are tired you become more tired, so focus on positives such as telling yourself you are wealthy and the feeling that brings. He says, “This is the way the game (the universe) works!”.

Here are some of the most informative Neville Goddard YouTube videos. The videos start with some of Neville Goddard’s most renowned books ‘At Your Command‘ (read by the man himself in 1939), ‘Feeling is the Secret‘ and ‘Awakened Imagination‘:

Note that diet directly affects your body’s overall ability to function to its full potential. You are what you eat; food affects your mood! Your state of being effects the things you manifest in your life (more can be read about Diet here). Diet also directly impacts your pineal gland that helps you receive intuitions that will guide you to your goal quicker (more can be read about the Pineal Gland here).

Jason Breshears (founder of ‘Archaix‘) uses the term ‘feedback loop’ to describe how reality and the law of attraction work. What you put out (i.e. what you think, believe and feel) is what you get back in life. He touches on this in the video below:

Physicist Tom Campbell also discusses the nature of reality and how to influence it to achieve your goals. Some of his insights can be viewed in the videos below:
