Napoleon Hill and Neville Goddard - Creating Wealth

Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) and Neville Goddard on YouTube

If you have read any of my manifesting abundance articles online you are already familiar with the names Napoleon Hill and Neville Goddard.
Well...even if you haven't read the articles, you may have heard of them anyway.
These men were giants in the area of the law of attraction long before The Secret ever came out.
I ran across some amazing videos on YouTube posted by Primeau Productions and 100kwatt by these two that I wanted to share with everyone.

As you may know, Napoleon Hill is the man that wrote the financial abundance book "Think and Grow Rich".
Napoleon was born into very humble beginnings back in 1883 and literally pulled himself up by the bootstraps.
His saying, "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of the stand bys in the wealth consciousness area.
And if you have read his books, you know that his ideas laid the ground work for many others.
(Of course Charles F. Haanel's "The Master Key System" laid the ground work for Napoleon himself to follow)
In searching through YouTube, I found these clips posted by Chriss MKEY of the man himself talking about his manifesting abundance theories.
I never even knew these clips existed.
It is really cool to be able to sit down and actually hear Napoleon explain his principals.
Here is the first video.....

Napoleon Hill "Think and Grow Rich" #1 Definiteness of Purpose



Napoleon Hill "Think and Grow Rich" #2 The Master Mind Principle

The second set of clips are posted by 100kwatt, and they are audio only of Neville Goddard. Neville Goddard was a Metaphysics teacher, that taught and lectured in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. His ideas of thinking from the end and visualizing have lead to a catch phrase in some creating wealth circles called "Nevillizing". Again, reading his ideas are one thing, but actually hearing them is another thing altogether. 100kwatt has posted a lot of Neville's lectures, but the last two posted are really cool because they are recordings that Neville made and are very high quality and clear. This is "How To Use Your Imagination" and "Mental Diets" that Neville recorded in 1955.

Neville Goddard How To Use Your Imagination

Neville Goddard Mental Diets

 Again, you can go to 100kwatt's YouTube channel, take a look around, see the other clips and even subscribe. While Napoleon Hill and Neville Goddard may seem miles apart as far as their ideas go, I think the best thing you can do is sit down and listen for the similarities. Like I have pointed out before, I have seen myself through observation (and a lot of trial and error) that what works for one person may not work for another. Maybe its the individual beliefs, mindsets, ideas that cause this, but look at it this way..... Let's say you wanted to play a musical instrument, and you picked the guitar. You spent years practicing but you never got good. Do you stay with that guitar, or do you try another instrument that you might be fantastic with? So try Napoleon Hill's way to financial prosperity. If it feels good and works...great. If it doesn't, change up and try someone else. Keep looking until you find what is right for you.

Manifesting Updates - October 2014

For the past two months I have been listening to Neville Goddard lectures at the rate of about two a day.
Is it doing any good?
I would say yes.
I have seen some things happen that there are really no good logical reasons for.
I mean fairly big manifestations that have happened in a few hours.

So what am I doing?
You know I have always said if I found something that works I would share it.

First, every day about 2:00 or 3:00 I lay down.
I repeat "I am" over and over and over until it feels like it's finished.
I know that's hard to explain...but it feels like it's time to stop.

Second,  I know there are a lot of variations of this, but I repeat "Wonderful things are happening for *us* right now."
"Something wonderful is happening" wasn't working.
And I had real results when I switched from "for me" to "for us".
Results as in not only did I start having great things happen, but so did other people that are connected to me.
And sometimes their good fortune spilled over onto me.

Also, I began to "play" with the idea that everything I said happened.
Just imagine that you are God.
And your every thought, wish, will comes true.
Trust me, you will pay a lot closer attention to your thoughts.

Synchronization...things keep popping up.
One major thing is a Bible verse.
I thought of it one day.
Then the next day, Neville quoted it in a lecture I was listening to.
Then I ran across it again online.
Then I was reading a chapter in the Bible, looking at a totally unrelated subject ..and sure enough that was the same chapter that the verse appears in.

"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
Isaiah 55:11

When the verse shows up that many times, it's trying to tell you something.

Manifesting Reality - Carole Doré Update

Manifesting Reality - Carole Doré Update

Well after 60 days I had to let this go.
There was no change.
Sorry.
I really wish there was.

I did the smelling money thing 6X plus times a day.
Repeating I am at one with a tremendous amount of money.
Wrote things down.
Nothing happened.

No huge sums of money came in, people didn't offer me money, my sales didn't skyrocket.

I'm really sorry.
I wish they had.
I wish I could tell you that it was incredible and that it really worked but I can't.

I don't know why though.
Her techniques were all the same ones that Neville, Joseph Murphy, Charles Hannel and Claude Bristol used.
She even used Bristol's "Mirror Technique".
True she did focus on the Heart Chakra rather than the Solar Plex that Hannel used in the Master Key, but it was the same type of exercise in the same area.
She used Neville and Murphy's "Mental Picture" technique.

I guess I thought maybe her distilled version would work.

Now I am not by any means saying that it will not work for you.
It very well could.
Evidently it has worked for a LOT of people.
I just had no luck with it...and I am just one person.
So by all means feel free to try it and if you do get good results, let us know.

TNT It Rocks The Earth - Claude Bristol

I mentioned a while back...okay...actually quite a while back that I had read "TNT It Rocks The Earth" and "The Magic of Believing" by Claude Bristol.
I didn't mention that Phyllis Diller and Liberace had both used "The Magic of Believing" to jump start their careers.
Some of you younger readers may have to look up Phyllis Diller and Liberace to see who they are, but trust me, they rose to fame in a society that would usually ignore both of them.

Anyway. I found "TNT It Rocks The Earth" on YouTube, so if you wanna give a listen, here is the first chapter of the book in audio form.

TNT It Rocks The Earth - Claude Bristol

Facts Overflow The World - Neville Goddard

Facts Overflow The World was a lecture given by Neville Goddard on November 19th, 1971.
Pretty interesting lecture that for one thing, goes into what the story of Noah's ark really represented.

If you have never heard Neville I wouldn't recommend starting out with this one though.
A little background on what he taught is necessary I think to really get this one.

Neville Goddard - A Standing Order

With Easter being tomorrow I thought I would post this.
Actually I meant to post it a couple of days ago but got caught up in other things.
It's kind of like Neville Goddard's "Easter Message"...

Creating Wealth - Rearrange The Mind, Neville Goddard

I have mentioned 100kwatt's YouTube channel and how he has a lot of Neville lectures posted there that you can listen to.I have been listening a lot to one lecture in particular, "Rearrange The Mind".
Of course you need to listen to the whole lecture, but the last part (part 5 of 5) seems to me to crystallize everything he says in the lecture.
Especially starting at about the 6:00 minute mark...



"Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong."
Joel 3:10 (KJV)

This goes back to Neville saying that you should imagine what you want to be, not what you are.
Even if it flies in the face of all logic, if you are weak, say you are strong, if you are poor, say you are rich.
You can be satisfied with where you are, or you can change where you are.

I'm not advocating just thinking and doing nothing.
Or as another famous man said:

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?"

As Neville said, go about your business and do your Father's work.
We live in the land of Caesar and Caesar's requirements must be met.

But the first step to change is to mentally changing where you are.
Change your "State".
All the physical change in the world wont do you any good unless you first change your mind.

Change "I am sick, I'll never get better because I am sick" to "I am healthy."
Change "I am poor, things will never get better." to "I am rich."

Assume that you are what you want to be right now and go from there.
You can be sick, and if you do not change your mind set, you can take all the drugs, treatments in the world and you will stay sick, or relapse into the sickness.

You can be poor and get the best job in the world, the best education, and if you don't change your state, you will be right back where you started from in no time.

And the cool thing about this is that you can mentally change right now as you are reading this.
You don't have to wait, or take a seminar or read a series of books.
Just close your eyes, and imagine what it would feel like to be free of your burdens.
Hold onto that.
Just feel the relief, the peace, the joy.
Then every time fear and doubt come back into your mind, do it again.
When you doubt, you return to your former state, so you have to get back out of that state and back into the state that you want to be in.

It probably wont be easy.
It isn't easy for me.
I have so many things staring me down right now it's not even funny.
But I close my eyes, take a deep breath, exhale and imagine it's all taken care of.
I am where I want to be, who I want to be.
Then I continue on "doing my Father's work".

Awaken Your Inner Power Results - Part One

Okay...I have been doing the "Om Guru Namasivaya Dram Dattatreya Siva Baba Namaha." mantra now for one month.
So far I have gotten eleven dollars and three cents out of the blue.

In accordance with the covenant that Dattatreya put out there, I will be donating three per cent of that to his foundation.
As soon as I figure out how to donate, what...thirty three cents?
I'm terrible at math.

Okay...I know what you may be thinking....
" You mean after a month of chanting that mantra all you got was less than twelve bucks?"

Yeah, I have to admit I'm kinda disappointed that so far I haven't gotten the hundreds or thousands of dollars that others have reported, but I have to admit, what I did get quite literally showed up outta thin air.
And it started with a penny, then another penny, then another, then a dollar, then ten dollars.
So the amounts are increasing.
And since this is the only method that I have seen any financial gain so far whatsoever, I'm gonna stay with it a bit longer and see what happens.

BTW, I haven't been posting much here, but I have been doing Hubs over at Hub Pages.
The last one I did was about early teachers in the New Thought movement and you can see it here:

That Which I Have Greatly Loved Has Come Upon Me

I have been a little quiet as of late.
But I had a reason.

As some of you know, I had c*ncer (I wont even grace the word by spelling it out anymore) back in 2007.
I had surgery, 12 weeks of chemo and was pronounced clean.
But I have to go back to the Dr every few months for blood tests to make sure there is no reoccurrence.
Well the last test showed a slight rise in my tumor count.
They scheduled me for a CT scan last Friday and I have been waiting for the test results since then.

I know what fear is.
I have looked it straight in the face.
I fight fear constantly.
Everyone that has been through c*ncer does I guess.
But you add my OCD, Anxiety Disorder and panic attacks to it, and you have a potent cocktail for trouble.

Well I fought for 5 days and finally last night I almost gave up knowing I would hear the results today.
I e-mailed Rev. Bates who has an excellent website with a lot of Joseph Murphy on it.
The Rev e-mailed me back and said
" If you are knowledgeable of the Bible you will recall that Job said, "that which I have greatly feared has come upon me." Just imagine what a difference his life would have been had he said, "that which I have greatly loved has come upon me." I know and I know that I know, that God indwells you ... for God is Life, and you are part of this Life."

"That which I have greatly loved has come upon me".
How powerful is that?
Not fear, not doubt, but love.
I am saying that what I love is here now upon me.

I repeated that phrase over and over and latched onto the feeling that I had before when the Dr said I was clean.
I thanked God over and over for me getting a clean scan again.

This morning the phone rang and my Dr said " The CT scan was clear. No c*ncer at all."

I thought I had thanked God a lot last night, but it's nothing compared to the joy and freedom I have felt today.
Remember the old "No Fear" T-Shirts?
I think that's a good motto.

"NO FEAR"

The Healing Presence of God is Within You -Dr. Joseph Murphy

Again, this is just one of those things I felt moved to post.
Maybe someone out there needs to hear it.

The healing presence of God is within you.
This miraculous healing power in your subconscious mind, if scientifically directed, can heal your mind, body, and affairs of all disease and impediments.
The first step in healing is not to be afraid of the manifest condition — from this very moment.
The second step is to realize that the condition is only the product of past thinking, which will have no more power to continue its existence.
The third step is mentally to exalt the miraculous healing power of God within you.
This procedure instantly will stop the production of all mental poisons in you or in the person for whom you are praying.
Live in the embodiment of your desire, and your thought and feeling will soon be made manifest.
Do not allow yourself to be swayed by human opinion and worldly fears, but live emotionally in the belief that it is God in action in your mind and body.

-Dr. Joseph Murphy

Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction, Part 2

Okay, here's this week's update on my Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction experiment.
Really I suppose this should be Joseph Murphy AND Neville Goddard since the two seem to overlap so much.
Anyway, I got a check in the mail from out of the blue for 100 dollars.
Yes out of the blue.
I had no idea it was coming.
Right now I am working on a BIG project that I hopefully will hear something about on Monday.
Three days.
Where have I heard that before?
BTW, if anyone wants to lend their positive energy to mine, feel free.

And speaking of that,when I finally get everything to gel here and get a good working system, I am thinking about maybe actually taking requests here and doing a "Bearing Your Brother's Burden" thing.
What's the point in creating reality if you can't help others?
And as you know, when I do get that system down, I will post in painful detail (LOL) just what I am doing to see if others can replicate the results.

So, in keeping with Dr Murphy and Neville's spirit, I will have good news Monday to report.
Actually I guess it should be I have good news now, right?

Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction, Part 1

I told you that I was going to start Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction and I have.
But the techniques he lays down for manifesting and the ones Neville Goddard uses are very similar.
Probably because they both studied under Abdullah.
I wonder why he never wrote anything?
Did he leave it to his students?

Anyway, one line kept popping up in my head that I had read in "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind".
And that is in chapter 6, " Practical Techniques in Mental Healings".
At the end of the chapter he talks about "The Decree Method".
And there he quotes the Bible, Job 22:28:
"Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways."

I kept thinking about that and sure enough, in "Your Faith Is Your Fortune" by Neville Goddard, Chapter 2 is called " You Shall Decree"
Here Neville quotes Isaiah 55:11 in the opening....
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

So what about instead of mentally decreeing something, you actually say it out loud?
Take a few minutes a day and consciously say what you decree out loud?

Of course I am no expert.
And I won't start telling people how to do something until something works and I can replicate it.
And someone else I tell can replicate it.
So the Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction experiment continues until I see some results.
Or three weeks pass, whichever comes first.

Manifesting Results

I know I have posted a link to this somewhere before, but it's been the number one result on a Google search for manifesting reality for a long, long time.
So evidently it's worth a read huh?
The article is by an Israeli trainer, lecturer and coach, Vered (Tanmayo) Neta.

I've experimented with conscious manifesting techniques for 13 years now. For 5 years I have taught others the tools that I myself have learned in a course called 'Manifesting Results'. Some people come to the course with a preconception that I'm going to teach them how to manifest. The bad news is that I'm not going to do that. The good news is that you already DO manifest everything in your life. You always have.
Since we all already create our own realities, what we do in the course is slow down the creative process and learn how this is done, in order to understand the principals behind and in so doing adjust things and create something different.
We create our reality from our Thoughts, Feelings, Choices and Beliefs. Lets explore each of these:

New Age Quotes

Fear arises through identification with form, whether it be a material possession, a physical body, a social role, a self-image, a thought, or an emotion. It arises through unawareness of the formless inner dimension of consciousness or spirit, which is the essence of who you are. You are trapped in object consciousness, unaware of the dimension of inner space which alone is true freedom. - Eckhart Tolle

The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe. - Deepak Chopra

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. - Wayne Dyer

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself. - James Allen

Every thought we think is creating our future. - Louise L Hayes

I am a Westerner. We're not going to change the West by going East. The East has a lot to teach us, but essentially it's like a mirror, saying, hey, can't you see what's here in your own religion, what are you, stupid? - Matthew Fox

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson

The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists. - Linda Goodman

When you talk about what you want and why you want it, there's usually less resistance within you than when you talk about what you want and how you're going to get it. When you pose questions you don't have answers for, like how, where, when, who, it sets up a contradictory vibration that slows everything down. - Esther Hicks

Believing and Receiving

Matthew 21 (King James Version)
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

So there we have a very early version of believing and receiving.
Of course we are told over and over just why this doesn't work.
There's even a famous prayer (not in the Bible) that says

"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other."
-Reinhold Niebuhr
Of course a modified version of this prayer is used by Alcoholics Anonymous.

But doesn't this prayer go against what Jesus said in the Bible?

"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed"
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive"

So why is the "accept the things I cannot change" drilled into peoples heads?
Is it easier than saying that you can change them?
Why is it that give up and surrender seems easier than stand and fight?

And actually when you look at it, there is no fight other than with yourself.

Wallace D. Wattles, Neville Goddard and Dattatreya Siva Baba

I didn't do a January mantra update because things had sorta hit a plateau.
Things were going better, but after four months of daily practice I wasn't moving forward anymore.
So I decided to review things to see what was needed.
I went back and started watching The Secret and then it hit me.
If The Secret was inspired by Wallace D. Wattles' "The Science of Getting Rich", why hadn't I read the source material yet?
So I set out to do that.
It took me two days to read it. And that's because I had to stop several times. It's a very quick read.
And when I read it, I kept seeing correlations between TSOGR and Neville Goddard's work. Actually, I think they compliment each other.
And I saw connections between the mantras, Dattatreya Siva Baba and TSOGR.
In the preface Wallace D. Wattles even makes the connection himself.....

" The monistic theory of the universe the theory that One is All, and that All is One; That one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world -is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred years."

The best way though for you to see the connections is to read the book yourself.
Can't afford it?
Can't get out to get it?
Not a problem.
You can go to http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Science_of_Getting_Rich and read the entire book online for free!
And I have posted links to free Neville lectures before, but here you go anyway http://realneville.com/text_archive_pdf.htm
Again you can read it online....for free.

Compare TSOGR with Neville and Dattatreya Siva Baba and look for the similarity not the difference.

What if the Matrix is Real?

You know how the manifesting techniques all seem to rely on being able to change the Universe around you?
Well the skeptics dismiss that because the universe around you is real.
Or is it?
"The Matrix" opened a lot of people's eyes to what might be "real" and what might not be.
But as I've said before, I was reading "The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge" back in the 70s, so this "what you see isn't real" idea isn't new to me at all.
And no I didn't do Peyote, I think in NC you can get shot for that.
But what if you found out the universe really isn't real.
What if there were scientific proof?
Well check this out.....
"If this doesn't blow your socks off, then Hogan, who has just been appointed director of Fermilab's Center for Particle Astrophysics, has an even bigger shock in store: "If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram."
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html
Yes, there is a chance this might be the Matrix.

8 Steps to Solving All Financial, Relationship, Security or Health Problems

8 Steps to Solving All Financial, Relationship, Security or Health Problems

Supporting the creation of every financial, health, security or relationship problem or phenomenal success is a set of timeless universal laws that never fail or err. Not even once. Every moment unfolds under perfect laws. Knowing what these laws are and how to apply them will miraculously wipe out any problem and produce success, always.

Over the last 4,000 years or so, we have repeatedly received the exact same how-the-world-works guidance from industry barons, spiritual masters, philosophers, quantum physicists, great leaders and sages.

Here are some tips on how you can solve any financial, relationship, security or health problem:

1. Understand your world. Many Nobel Prize winning physicists have recently proven beyond doubt that the physical world is one large sea of energy that flashes into and out of being in a fraction of a second, over and over again. Nothing is solid. This is the world of Quantum Physics. They have proven that thoughts are what put together and hold together this ever-changing energy field into the ‘objects’ that we see.

2. Know the tools of creation. Your thoughts, words and actions create your experiences. You become what you think about. Albert Einstein once said that imagination is the most powerful creative force. The Bible says ‘As a man thinketh, so is he.’ Become very aware of your thoughts, and be deliberate in your thinking. There are no idle thoughts. Have vision, and stick with it.

3. Believe. Henry Ford said “Whether you think you can or can’t – either way you are right”. That is pretty much the same thing that Jesus and many others have said.

4. Understand cause and effect. The law of cause and effect is the prime law that runs the universe. It is the number one law. Every spiritual and scientific teacher has sought to teach it. They may have said you reap what you sow, or you get what you give, or what goes around comes around, or karma, or consequences, or every action has an equal and opposite reaction, or many other similar statements. Quantum physics is now teaching us how this works, exactly, on a sub-atomic level. Things get better when you get better. They get worse when you get worse. The world is all within you. You are at cause over everything that happens in your life, whether you were conscious of it or not.

Manifesting Reality - From Intent to Automobile

From Intent to Automobile

In "real" life, this transformation of thought into a state of energy and then into a state of mass may translate into an experience like Lucille's.
Lucille constantly thinks about driving a new red car.
Unbeknownst to her, each time she thinks the thought, the thought instantly becomes energy, creative energy, which is subsequently absorbed by atoms and molecules; eventually it becomes part of a "thing" which emulates the thought. Obviously the more prevalent Lucille's thought is, the more creative energy it produces.
In addition, Lucille's creative energy interacts and communicates with other energy particles, which then begin to take part in becoming the thing that is thought, which, in this case is a new, red car.
Eventually Lucille's thoughts become her car.

Though the above example is rather facile, it does attempt to describe how our experiences are created.
It also hints at why we have such varying types of experiences, some quite positive, while others are clearly negative.
For example, the force of Lucille's creative energy theoretically created her new, red car.
But what if she had simultaneously assumed that a new car would cost too much?
Her thoughts would also naturally focus on the exorbitant cost of it all.
Then, not only would her thoughts create the new, red car, they would also create experiences where she is charged too much interest, she buys a "lemon" that needs lots of repairs, or she ends up paying much more than she really needs to pay.
Her thoughts created energy that would become what she intended or believed she would see.

Manifesting Reality - Dr. Wayne Dyer

 "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
Wayne Dyer

Self help guru Dr. Wayne Dyer is affectionately called the "father of motivation" by his fans.
He is one of the most widely known and respected people in the field of self-empowerment. He has published more than 20 self-help books and audio lectures, many of which have become best sellers.

I myself have several of his CDs and books. I really like him and the way he gets his message across. He's not heavy handed, he takes a gentle approach to try to guide the listener or reader.

I first saw him on one of his PBS specials and I sat there amazed at what he was saying. Basically because as he told about how he got to the point in his life that he's at now, I was sitting there going "I read those same books! I thought those same things!"
Dr. Dyer just managed to put them all together.

I have wondered why he wasn't in The Secret.
That seems a little strange to me.
