The Law and the Promise (1961)
1961…However, your ordinary imaginal alterations as you pass from one state to another are not transformations because each of them is so rapidly succeeded by another in the reverse direction. But whenever one state grows so stable as to become your constant mood, your habitual attitude, then that habitual state defines your character and is a true transformation. How do you do it? Self-abandonment! Th…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “The Power of Faith”
February 13, 1964…Q: In the statement of faith, hope and love, and love is the greatest, I’ve always related hope more to faith. Would you define what hope really means? A: Well, you’re told that no one hopes for things after you receive it. A hope that is seen is not hope, so hope can only be when it’s not seen. I would put them…now they’re not qualified faith, hope, love, because love is the greatest and it’s nam…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “Faith”
May 20, 1968…Now, I have painted for your benefit and for the unborn tomorrow that which has happened to me, which will lift you not only into marvelous things in this world but will actually fulfill states perfectly. And the chief purpose is to simply link man…that is, it contains a power transcending anything known to earthly men, and this power can link men to the heavenly sphere. Well now, how will I trans…
Your Faith Is Your Fortune (1941)
1941…Man in the darkness of human ignorance sets out on his search for God, aided by the flickering light of human wisdom. As it is revealed to man that his I AM or awareness of being is his savior the shock is so great he mentally falls to the ground, for every belief that he has ever entertained tumbles as he realizes that his consciousness is the one and only savior. The knowledge that his I AM is G…
Pauls Autobiography
February 22, 1963…So, you take every being in the world – all right, let them go astray, it doesn’t matter. If with God all things are possible and he works and creates only through Christ, and Christ is now imagining – I could imagine you are what I want you to be, if I really believe in Christ, for “Christ in you is the hope of glory.” And though at the moment you don’t respond, and tomorrow you still do not resp…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “Believe Him In”
April 2, 1963…Believe it. I am telling you this that you may believe, for just as you must believe that you are rich to be rich, you must believe this story to be eligible to be lifted up. For man’s salvation has its source in God’s faith, but it is bestowed upon man in response to his faith. And so he can’t be qualified until he hears the story. I am telling you the story, for it has happened to me. If the who…
Neville Goddard Lectures: “Our Real Beliefs Are What We Live By”
May 21, 1963…Do you see the mystery? When you open that Bible, you’re reading God’s history, you’re reading a mystery. It’s not like any other book in the world. And a mystery, as I’ve told you time and again, is not something to be kept as a secret, but it is a truth that is mysterious in character. How to unravel? Well, in my own case, it happened. The whole thing is unfolded in me. I’m sharing with you my o…
Neville Goddard Lectures: Your Future (1966)
January 4, 1966…Let me tell you a story…you may go out on a limb and tell it. You need not wait until it happens and hope that they will believe you. You can tell it before it takes place if you have faith. A few weeks ago I told you the stories of a lady who came here with her husband. He is her minister. She took eleven case histories…nine had come to pass. She wrote of eleven—two were prophetic in the sense th…
