Neville Goddard 1905 – 1972
Born in Barbados, West Indies, Neville went to the United States to study drama at the age of seventeen. In 1932 he gave up the theatre to devote his attention to his studies in mysticism when he began his lecture career in New York City.
Over a career spanning from 1939 – 1972, Neville Goddard became one of the more quietly dramatic and supremely influential teachers in the New Thought field and his works continue to influence and inspire people today.
His books and pamphlets were sold at lectures and he freely allowed his students to tape his addresses without charge.
Techniques
Some of Neville’s most effective techniques are below. These can be very useful when you are trying to win something or to create anything in your life.
Revision
If the day was not what you wanted it to be, go back and re-create it in your imagination as it should have been and relive it with the joy of your ideal day. This is a very powerful technique.
I Remember When
You put what you don’t want in the past so it is a memory, for example “I remember when I could not win a thing” – past – “and look at me now with all the things I have won and am winning” and describe your vision so clearly others can see and feel it.
Neville Goddard was also a huge fan of stories to illustrate the power of Imagination to create your Desires. Here are some of his stories about Winning.
