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.

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 - 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"...

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.....

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.

More From "The Magic of Faith"

Here's another bit from "The Magic of Faith" by Dr. Joseph Murphy, 1954.

"I told a man in one of the islands one time "to sleep" on the idea of success. He was selling magazine subscriptions. He became a great success by following this procedure: I suggested that he think of success prior to sleep; i.e., what suc­cess meant to him; what he would do if he were successful. I told him to use his imagination; then as he was about to go to sleep, fall in love with the idea of success this way: Repeat the one word, "Success," over and over again. He should get into the mood of success; then fall off to sleep in the arms of his Everlasting Lover. Your Lover—your Divine Presence—will bring to pass what­ever you accept as true. The conditions, exper­iences, and events of your life are called chil­dren of your mind."

Here again we have the "sleep manifesting" that Neville Goddard speaks about.
Quite the mind before sleep.
Fill your mind with the idea of what you want.
Really feel it.
Then drift off to sleep with the idea in your mind.

Sounds simple right?

WRONG!

LOL...no really, it can be very hard for some people.
You have to get the idea in your mind and get rid of other thoughts.

Example:

"I have to pay the house payment on Friday, it's Monday and I have no money."
Now you are supposed to quiet any anxious, fearful thoughts and focus on the payment already being made.
While you are trying to focus on the positive outcome, being homeless, in the streets etc., keeps coming into your mind.

Gently push the thought away and go back to positive.
Don't rail against it.
Just push it away and go back to your end result.
KEEP DOING IT!

Don't give in or give up.
In this case you are a warrior and you cannot take no as an answer, or surrender.
And guess who and what you are fighting?
Yourself.
Yes, to do this you must gain mastery over YOU, no one else.

If anyone out there remembers Pogo, think about what he once said....
"We have met the enemy and he is us."

Focus on that one word, be it success, or health or love or peace.

The Magic of Faith, Joseph Murphy

From The Magic of Faith, by Joseph Murphy.....

When you go to sleep tonight, forgive everyone. And imagine and feel your desire is fulfilled. Be­come absolutely and completely indifferent to all thought of failure, because you now know the law. As you accept the end, you have, as Troward so beautifully stated, willed the means to the real­ization of the end. As you are about to enter sleep, galvanize yourself into the feeling of being or having your desire. Your mental acceptance or your feeling as you go to sleep is the request you make of your Beloved; then She looks at your request (conviction in the subconscious mind), and being the Absolute Lover, she must give you what you asked.

"You feed among the lilies until the day breaks and the shadows flee away." The shadows are fear, doubt, worry, anxiety, and all the reasons why you cannot do something. The shadows of our five senses and race belief hover over the minds of all as we pray.

When you pray, accept as true what your reason and five senses deny and reject. Remain faith­ful to your idea by being full of faith every step of the way. When your consciousness is fully qualified with the acceptance of your desire, all the fear will go away. Trust in the reality of your ideal or desire until you are filled full of the feel­ing of being it; then the day will break and all shadows will flee away. Yes, the answer to your prayer will come, and light up the heavens of your mind bringing you peace.

No matter what the problem is, how acute, dark, or hopeless things seem to be, turn now to God, and say, "How is it in God and Heaven?" The answer will softly steal over your mind like the dew from heaven: "All is peace, joy, bliss, perfection, wholeness, harmony, and beauty"; then reject the evidence of your senses, and feed among the lilies of God and Heaven, such as peace, harmony, joy, and perfection. Realize what is true of God must be true of you and your sur­roundings. Continue in this abiding trust and faith in God "until the day breaks and the shadows flee away."

How to Manifest Reality, Part Two

Wayne Dyer, like Neville Goddard, has several manifesting techniques.

One is intention.
You intend for the desired thing to happen.
"I INTEND to be healthy."
As opposed to Neville's "I AM healthy".

Dr.Dyer also advocates thinking from the end, seeing your desire as already done.

But one of his most famous techniques is the Japa meditation using the sound of "Ahh".
I've written about the Ahh meditation here before, but let's recap.
This meditation was given to Wayne Dyer years ago by Dattatreya Siva Baba.

1.Pick your goal
2. Sit down and imagine a column of energy starting at your root chakra, going up your spine to the third eye (between and slightly above your
eyes).
3. Now, close your eyes and say the sound "Ahh" out loud while imagining the sound traveling up from your root chakra to the 3rd eye.
Picture what you want in your third eye and send the sound of "Ahh" into it.

I have seen it recommended to do this 20 minutes a day.

Dr Dyer has two CDs that I know about, using the Ahh meditation, " Meditations For Manifesting" and "Getting in the Gap".

Of course this is a VERY simpified version of Dr Dyer's teaching.
You can go to his website here: http://www.drwaynedyer.com/ to learn more.

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.

Vedic Manifestation

Well like I said, I've been trying these Vedic manifesting techniques,let's see, since about November 14th.
I haven't seen any MAJOR events.
There have been a few small ones though.
But in all fairness, Dattatreya Siva Baba says it takes at least 45 days to take effect. Though if you watch his videos, you'll see there are ways to speed it up. I like that though, he doesn't claim instant effect. Although it can happen.
What I am doing is at least one hour of meditation a day.
I know one hour doesn't seem like a lot, but I didn't use to do any. So one hour is an improvement.
I also mentally repeat the mantras off and on all day.
I'll keep doing this and let everyone know how it's going.

What Happens When You Try "The Secret?"

What Happens When You Try "The Secret?"

I found this article written back in 2007 about The Secret that's very interesting.
Emily Yoffe wrote it, and it's about her experiences trying the techniques that are in the book.
I liked it because even though she says she went into it negative attitude, she did try.
But understand, this article is about one person's attempt. It's not the final word.
Anyway, you can read her full article here:
http://www.slate.com/id/2165746/

Doubt...the greatest sin of all?

 

Neville Goddard said Doubt was the greatest sin of all.
And it makes sense doesn't it?
Here we are worshiping a Higher Power, but the second TSHTF we panic!
How many different variations of Matthew Chapter 7, verse 7 do we need to hear?
7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

I say "variations of", because this thread runs all through manifesting techniques.

The second most important thing......
Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive

Yes it doesn't say SOME things.
It says ALL things.

Believe, do not doubt. Even though your senses tell you "no".
Faith. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word means essentially steadfastness.

Neville taught to get caught up in the mood. Imagine your desire right here, right now fulfilled.
Don't look at it as through a camera, be IN it as though an actor. Don't see yourself being handed money, being in good health.
FEEL yourself being handed money. FEEL yourself being healthy.
Don't worry about how it will happen.
Just know that inside you, it already has.

Dr. Frederick Bailes - Your Mind Can Heal You

Dr. Frederick Bailes was born into a family of pioneers in New Zealand in 1889 and was trained to be a medical missionary.
As he was completing his training he was diagnosed with diabetes, an incurable condition then.
After the diagnosis, he came across the writings of Thomas Troward (The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science 1904) and began to develop a philosophy for living, and within six years, he attained a complete recovery...before the discovery of insulin.
He went on to live until the age of 81.
After his healing, as a student at a large London hospital, Dr. Bailes closely observed the mental factors which entered into the recovery of patients and noticed that certain fundamental thought-patters invariable produced bodily reactions.
By stimulating his patients causative mental patterns toward healing, Dr. Bailes soon found remarkable results.

"with the fundamental truth that the person for whom we are treating is a perfect idea in the Mind of God, and our whole procedure during a treatment is intended to remove from our own mind any idea or picture of imperfection or sickness."
- Frederick Bailes

Dr. Bailes seven "R"s as outlined in his book In his book "Your Mind Can Heal You" are:
Relaxation
Recognition
Relationship
Reasoning
Realization
Release
Rejoice
