— Neville Goddard

158. “The journey is in yourself. You travel along the highways of the inner world. Without inner movement it is impossible to bring forth anything. Inner action is introverted sensation.

— Neville Goddard

Much that is good and even wonderful has come into your life without your having any inkling that you were the creator of it.”

— Neville Goddard

— Neville Goddard

But it must be matched, for that is the necessary condition by which alone it can be activated and objectified. Matching the beliefs of a state is the seeking that finds, the knocking to which it is opened, the asking that receives. Go in and possess the land.”

— Neville Goddard

— Neville Goddard

This, reason could never do. By its nature it is restricted to the evidence of the senses; but imagination, having no such limitation, can. Desire exists to be gratified in the activity of imagination. Through imagination man escapes from the limitation of the senses and the bondage of reason.”

— Neville Goddard

— Neville Goddard

— Neville Goddard

181. “When you can persuade yourself 100% that you are successful, success is yours! You must become so intense that you completely forget it was only a desire. You must tame the wild, new state you have entered until its naturalness causes you to forget all else. That is how God became you.”

This law explains why ‘Faith is the substance of things not hoped for, the evidence of things not seen’ and why ‘He calleth things that are not seen as though they were and things that were not seen became seen.’ Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and continue feeling that it is fulfilled until that which you feel objectifies itself.”

And, because we are all one, if it takes one million people to aid the birth of your assumption, they will do it, without their knowledge or consent, so you don’t have to ask anyone to aid you. They will do it not even knowing that they are.”

— Neville Goddard
