Feeling Is The Secret - Neville Goddard

As I said in the previous post, I have been studying a lot of Neville Goddard's work.
And as I have stated before, these techniques can be used not only for creating wealth and manifesting abundance, but for just about everything else.
Out of all of the techniques I have used Neville's techniques seem to work the best for me.
His "law of assumption" seems to have a better track record with me than the law of attraction does.

A long time ago when I started to study all of this, a friend of mine sent me a bunch of Neville's teachings in an e-mail, and at the time I couldn't find them anywhere else.
But since then I have run across many (if not all) of these at http://www.nevillelecturehall.com/
If you go there, you read Neville's teachings in full, and get some insight on how to employ them in your life.

The post for today is from a talk Neville did on Station KECA in Los Angeles back in July of 1951.

Feeling Is The Secret

Recently, I asked a very successful businessman his formula for success.
He laughed and was a little embarrassed.
Then he replied, "I guess it’s just because I can’t conceive of failure. It’s nothing that I think about much. It’s more a feeling that I have."
His statement coincided completely with my own beliefs and experiments.
We can think about something forever and never see it in our world, but once let us feel its reality, and we are bound to encounter it.
The more intensely we feel, the sooner we will encounter it.
We all regard feelings far too much as effects, and not sufficiently as causes of the events of the day.
Feeling is not only the result of our conditions of life, it is also the creator of those conditions.
We say we are happy because we are well, not realizing that the process will work equally well in the reverse direction.
We are well because we are happy. We are all far too undisciplined in our feelings.

To be joyful for another is to bless ourselves as well as him.
To be angry with another is to punish ourselves for his fault.
The distressed mind stays at home though the body travels to the ends of the earth, while the happy mind travels though the body remains at home.
Feeling is the secret of successful prayer, for in prayer, we feel ourselves into the situation of the answered prayer and, then, we live and act upon that conviction.
Feeling after Him, as the Bible suggests, is a gradual unfolding of the soul’s hidden capacities.
Feeling yields in importance to no other.
It is the ferment without which no creation is possible.
All forms of creative imagination imply elements of feeling.
All emotional dispositions whatever may influence the creative imagination.
Feeling after Him has no finality.
It is an acquisition, increasing in proportion to receptivity, which has not and never will have finality.
An idea which is only an idea produces nothing and does nothing.
It acts only if it is felt, if it is accompanied by effective feeling.
Somewhere within the soul there is a mood which, if found, means wealth, health, happiness to us.
The creative desire is innate in man.
His whole happiness is involved in this impulse to create.
Because men do not perfectly "feel," the results of their prayers are unsure, when they might be perfectly sure.
We read in Proverbs, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine but a broken spirit drieth the bones."
Orchestral hearts burn in the oil of the lamp of the king.
The spirit sings unto the Lord a new song.
All true prayer wears a glad countenance; the good are anointed with the oil of gladness above their fellows.
Let us, then, watch our feelings, our reactions to the day’s events.
And let us guard our feelings even more zealously in the act of prayer, for prayer is the true creative state.
Dignity indicates that man hears the greater music of life, and moves to the tempo of its deeper meaning.
If we did nothing but imagine and feel the lovely, the world’s reform would, at once, be accomplished.
Many of the stories of the Bible deal exclusively with the power of imagination and feeling.

"Feeling after Him" is the cry of the truth seeker.
Only imagination and feeling can restore the Eden from which experience has driven us.
Feeling and imagination are the senses by which we perceive the beyond.
Where knowledge ends, they begin.
Every noble feeling of man is the opening for him of some door to the divine world.
Let us measure men, not by the height of their cities, but by the magnificence of their imaginations and feelings.
Let us turn our thought up to Heaven and mix our imagination with the angels.
The world that moves us is the one we imagine, not the world that surrounds us.
In the imagination lie the unexplored continents, and man’s great future adventure.
This consciousness of non­finality in "feeling after God" has been the experience of all earnest God­ward feelers.
They realize that their conception of the Infinite has constantly deepened and expanded with experience.
Those who endeavor to think out the meaning of the experience and to coordinate it with the rest of our knowledge, are the philosophic mystics; those who try to develop the faculty in themselves, and to deepen the experience are the practical or experimental mystics.
Some, and among them the greatest, have tried to do both.
Religion begins in subjective experience.
Religion is what a man does with his solitude, for in solitude we are compelled to subjective experience.
A True Religious Attitude is man’s salvation.
God never changes; it is we who are changing; our spiritual eyes are ever getting keener; and this enlargement of truth will bring us an ever­ increasing inner peace.
The best defense against the deceptive assault upon our mental and moral eyesight is the spiritual eye or the Eye of God.
In other words, a spiritual ideal that cannot be changed by circumstance, a code of personal honor and integrity in ourselves and good will and love to others.
"Not what thou art, nor what thou hast been, beholdeth God with his merciful eyes, but that thou wouldst be."
Through the veins of the humblest man on earth runs the royal blood of being.
Therefore, let us look at man through the eyes of imaginative love which is really seeing with the Eye of God.
Under the influence of the Eye of God, the ideal rises up out of the actual as water is etherialized by the sun into the imagery cloudland.
Things altogether distant are present to the spiritual eye.
The Eye of God makes the future dream a present fact.
Not four months to harvest – look again, If we persist in this seeing, one day we will arise with the distance in our eyes, and all the staying, stagnant nearby will suddenly be of no importance.
We will brush it aside as we pass on to our far­seen objective.
The man who really finds himself cannot do otherwise than let himself be guided by love.
He is of too pure eyes to behold iniquity.
Our ability to help others will be in proportion to our ability to control and help ourselves.
The day a man achieves victory over himself, history will discover that to have been a victory over his enemy.
The healing touch is in an attitude, and one day man will discover that one governs souls only with serenity.
The mighty surrenders itself fully only to the most gentle.
Recognizing the power of feeling, let us pay strict attention to our moods and attitudes.
Every stage of man’s progress is made through the exercise of his imagination and feeling.
By creating an "ideal" within our mental sphere we can feel ourselves into this "ideal image" till we become one and the same with it, absorbing its qualities into the very core of our being.
The solitary or captive can, by the intensity of his imagination and feeling, effect myriads so that he can act through many men and speak through many voices.
Extend your feelers, trust your touch, participate in all flights of your imaginations and be not afraid of your own sensitivities.

The best way to feel another’s good is to be more intensely aware of it.
Be like my friend and have "more of a feeling" for the health, the wealth, the happiness you desire.
Ideas do not bless unless they descend from Heaven and take flesh.
Make results or accomplishments the crucial test of true imagination.
As you observe these results, you will determine to fill your images with love and to walk in a high and noble mood for you will know with the poet: "That which ye sow ye reap. See yonder fields The sesamum was sesamum, the corn was corn. The Silence and the Darkness knew So is man’s fate born."

Neville Goddard Manifesting Technique in Full


attract wealth, creating wealth, how to attract money, law attraction, manifesting abundance

This is a VERY long post so I have to ask you to bear with me here.

As you know I am a big fan of Neville Goddard and have been reading his techniques for creating wealth, manifesting abundance, creating health, heck, just about everything, for a long time.
I recently have gone back in and began reviewing his manifesting techniques and applying them with some measure of success.
I have put his techniques up before, but usually in an abbreviated version.
I thought maybe it would be best to post his technique in it's entirety, to let you see everything.
This comes from the "Neville Class Instruction", a booklet of lessons from 1948.
I'm sure these techniques are in his other books, but like I said, I wanted to present them in full.

We are now in 2010, and you hear about wars and rumors of wars, the failing economy, how hopeless everything is everyday.
BUT, when Neville was teaching, it was the same way.

For example in 1948:
Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated.
The Soviet Union was jamming Voice of America broadcasts.
The Communist Party seized control of Czechoslovakia.
The United States Supreme Court ruled that religious instruction in public schools violated the U.S. Constitution.
There was the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
The Berlin Blockade began.
President Harry S. Truman issued the second peacetime military draft in the United States.
I have to admit though, the 1948 unemployment rate of 3.8 percent looks pretty darn good compared to 2009's 9.3.

But anyway, things were bad then, so Neville's teachings are not out of date.

So here is the detailed technique as described by Neville in 1948....

Let me now define the technique as I want you to employ it.
I trust each one of you came here tonight with a clear picture of your desire.
Do not say it is impossible.
Do you want it?
You do not have to use your moral code to realize it.
It is altogether outside the reach of your code.
Consciousness is the one and only reality.
Therefore, we must form the object of our desire out of our own consciousness.
People have a habit of slighting the importance of simple things, and the suggestion to create a state akin to sleep in order to aid you in assuming that which reason and your senses deny, is one of the simple things you might slight.
However, this simple formula for changing the future, which was discovered by the ancient teachers and given to us in the Bible, can be proved by all.
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.
The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin to sleep.
Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imagine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND NOW.
You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that the imaginary sensation is real to you.
It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one which FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfillment. For example, suppose you desired promotion in office.
Then being congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfillment of your desire.

Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination to imply promotion in office, immobilize your physical body and induce a state bordering on sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are attentive without effort.
Then visualize a friend standing before you.
Put your imaginary hand into his.
Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the FEELING OF HAVING BEEN PROMOTED.
You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a distance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune.
Instead, you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future NOW.
The difference between FEELING yourself in action, here and now , and visualizing yourself in action, as though you were on a motion­picture screen, is the difference between success and failure.
The difference will be appreciated if you will now visualize yourself climbing a ladder.
Then, with eyelids closed imagine that a ladder is right in front of you and FEEL YOURSELF ACTUALLY CLIMBING IT.
Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action which implies fulfillment of the desire, to condense the idea into a single act, and to re­enact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality.
Otherwise, your attention will wander off along an associational track, and hosts of associated images will be presented to your attention, and in a few seconds they will lead you hundreds of miles away from your objective in point of space and years away in point of time.
If you decide to climb a particular flight of stairs, because that is the likely event to follow the fulfillment of your desire, then you must restrict the action to climbing that particular flight of stairs.
Should your attention wander off, bring it back to its task of climbing that flight of stairs, and keep on doing so until the imaginary action has all the solidity and distinctness of reality.
The idea must be maintained in the mind without any sensible effort on your part.
You must, with the minimum of effort permeate the mind with the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
Drowsiness facilitates change because it favors attention without effort, but it must not be pushed to the state of sleep in which you no longer are able to control the movements of your attention.
But a moderate degree of drowsiness in which you are still able to direct your thoughts.
A most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and drowsy state, repeat over and over again like a lullaby, any short phrase which implies fulfillment of your desire, such as, "Thank you, thank you, thank you" as though you addressed a higher power for having given you that which you desired.
I know that when this course comes to an end on Friday many of you here will be able to tell me you have realized your objectives.
Two weeks ago I left the platform and went to the door to shake hands with the audience.
I am safe in saying that at least 35 out of a class of 135 told me that which they desired when they joined this class they had already realized.
This happened only two weeks ago.
I did nothing to bring it to pass save to give them this technique of prayer.
You need do nothing to bring it to pass ­ save apply this technique of prayer.
With your eyes closed and your physical body immobilized induce a state akin to sleep and enter into the action as though you were an actor playing the part.
Experience in imagination what you would experience in the flesh were you now in possession of your objective.
Make elsewhere HERE and then NOW.
And the greater you, using a larger focus will use all means, and call them good, which tend toward the production of that which you have assumed.

You are relieved of all responsibility to make it so, because as you imagine and feel that it is so your dimensionally larger self determines the means.
Do not think for one moment that some one is going to be injured in order to make it so, or that some one is going to be disappointed.
It is still not your concern.
I must drive this home.
Too many of us, schooled in different walks of life, are so concerned about the other.
You ask, 'If I get what I want will it not imply injury to another?'
There are ways you know not of, so do not be concerned.
Close your eyes now because we are going to be in a long silence.
Soon you will become so lost in contemplation, feeling that you are what you want to be, that you will be totally unconscious of the fact that you are in this room with others.
You will receive a shock when you open your eyes and discover we are here.
It should be a shock when you open your eyes and discover that you are not actually that which, a moment before, you felt you were, or felt you possessed. Now we will go into the deep.

I need not remind you that you are now that which you have assumed that you are.
Do not discuss it with anyone, not even self.
You cannot take thought as to the HOW, when you know that you ARE already.
Your three­dimensional reasoning, which is a very limited reasoning indeed should not be brought into this drama.
It does not know.
What you have just felt to be true is true.
Let no man tell you that you should not have it.
What you feel that you have, you will have.
And I promise you this much, after you have realized your objective, on reflection you will have to admit that this conscious reasoning mind of yours could never have devised the way.
You are that and have that which this very moment you appropriated.
Do not discuss it.
Do not look to someone for encouragement because the thing might not come.
It has come.
Go about your Father's business doing everything normally and let these things happen in your world.
