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.

The Magic of Believing - Claude M Bristol

Last time I mentioned Claude M Bristol and "TNT It Rocks The Earth".
While that book may have gotten everyone's attention, it was his second book that really cemented his place as a New Thought author.
"The Magic of Believing" took the principals of the first book and expanded on them.
And it also told in depth how he came to believe these things himself.

He is part one of the book at YouTube.
I have to warn you though, this is a VERY abridged version.
You cannot take the original book and read along.
To get everything you need to read the book, but this will give you some idea of how Bristol thought.

TNT It Rocks The Earth and The Magic of Believing

In my constant search for knowledge (that sounds good right?) I am always looking for new things to read.
Last month I happened across Claude Bristol.
Claude was born in 1891 and he was a soldier in World War 1.
Before that he was a police reporter and a church editor of a large city newspaper.
Claude kind of stumbled onto his path because as a church editor, he got to talk to a wide variety of people with a wide variety of beliefs.
Doing like a lot of us do, and spurred on by his police reporter background, he started digging into those beliefs, looking for a common thread which he found.
Belief.
When he was a soldier he decided that when he got back to civilian life "he would have a lot of money" and set out to discover how he could do that.
He relied a lot on philosopher William James' statement that "Belief creates its verification in fact", which will sound very familiar to you Neville Goddard fans out there.
And yes...things did begin to work out for him.

 
So far I have read two of his books, "TNT It Rocks The Earth" and "The Magic of Believing" and I have to tell you, they are small books but full of a LOT of great ideas.
You can find them both online as PDFs for free and also audio versions on YouTube.
(I wouldnt even mention them if you couldnt get hold of them for free)

Now here is a very unique source of info on the The Magic of Believing.....
