Daily Teachings for Inner Transformation

Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard

Master of Imaginative Creation

"Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled."


Early Life

Born in Barbados in 1905, Neville Goddard journeyed from a modest colonial upbringing to the spiritual heart of New York City. Initially pursuing a career in theater and dance, it was a chance encounter with a mystic named Abdullah that radically transformed his understanding of reality.

Metaphysical Path

Neville’s path weaves mysticism with imagination. He taught that the external world is a reflection of one’s inner state, and that imagination—fused with faith—is the creative force of the universe. His metaphysics blends scripture, esoteric wisdom, and the radical idea that God is your own wonderful human imagination.

Core Teachings

His core teaching is startling in its simplicity: Imagining creates reality. Neville emphasized that all experience begins within, and that feeling is the secret. By assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, one impresses the subconscious and alters the course of events.

Beliefs

Neville taught that there is no separation between man and God. All suffering arises from the mistaken belief in separation. To awaken is to realize that you are the operant power, and that life mirrors your assumptions—not your wishes, but your assumptions.

Signature Practice

“The State Akin to Sleep” — A nightly meditative practice where one relaxes deeply and impresses the subconscious by imagining the end result vividly and emotionally, as though it were already true.


Approach to Each Path

Overcoming DepressionLearn More

He taught that despair stems from a false identity. By shifting your concept of self, you rise. “Dare to believe in your ideal self,” he urged, and feel it into being.

Easing AnxietyLearn More

To Neville, anxiety is imagination used against oneself. He instructed students to revise worry with faith—redirecting imagination toward what they want to feel, instead of what they fear.

Releasing Fear + ControlLearn More

He dismantled control by encouraging inner surrender: “Be still and know I AM God.” When one rests in the I AM, the need to control dissolves—because the true creative act has already happened within.

Healing from GriefLearn More

Neville didn’t deny pain—but reframed it. He reminded us that those who pass on are not gone, but only moved into another dimension of awareness. Imagination allows us to commune with them still.

Letting Go of Past HurtsLearn More

He taught the law of revision: by mentally rewriting past events in your imagination, you change how they affect you in the present. “Change your memory and you change your life.”

Manifesting MoneyLearn More

To Neville, wealth was never about chasing money—it was about embodying abundance. Assume the feeling of being prosperous now, and reality conforms.

Unlocking Career FlowLearn More

Neville taught that your true work finds you when you align with your ideal self. Don't chase opportunity—assume the identity of the one who already has it.

Sacred AbundanceLearn More

He redefined abundance as inner conviction, not outer accumulation. “You must believe it in. The world is a mirror, not a creator.”

Aligned LoveLearn More

Neville emphasized that love begins within. By dwelling in the feeling of being loved and loving, we draw to us relationships that reflect that inner state.

Healing from BreakupsLearn More

To Neville, separation was never final. “There is no one to change but self.” Heal by reimagining yourself as whole, cherished, and free—and the world reflects it.

Confidence & IdentityLearn More

Neville’s ultimate revelation: You are God imagining. True confidence arises when you stop seeking outside approval and live from your inner power.

Path of the SeekerLearn More

Neville honored spiritual hunger—but led his students to its end: realization. “You already are what you seek—now claim it.”

Returning to StillnessLearn More

He taught that stillness is where the creative act occurs. It’s in the quiet of the mind that the seed of assumption is planted. You don't hustle your way to miracles—you rest into them.

Secret in Plain SightLearn More

“The secret,” Neville said, “is imagining.” Most overlook it because it’s too close, too simple, too always-there. But once discovered, it reshapes everything.
