— Neville Goddard

— Neville Goddard

When you drop your desire in consciousness as a seed, confident that it shall appear in its full-blown potential, you have done all that is expected of you. To be worried or concerned about the manner of their unfoldment is to hold these fertile seeds in a mental grasp and, therefore, to prevent them from really maturing to full harvest.”

— Neville Goddard

227. “Every problem automatically produces its solution in the form of a desire to be free from the problem. Therefore, turn your back upon your problem and focus your attention upon the desired solution by already feeling yourself to be that which you desire.

— Neville Goddard

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

If we do this, our subjective experience will be realised objectively.”

— Neville Goddard
