Neville Goddard (1905-1972) was one of the most influential teachers of the practical application of creative Imagination: "With your desire defined, quietly go within and shut the door behind you. Lose yourself in your desire; feel yourself to be one with it; remain in this fixation until you have absorbed the life and name by claiming and feeling yourself to be and to have that which you desired. When you emerge from the hour of prayer you must do so conscious of being and possessing that which you heretofore desired."― Neville Goddard, Your Faith is Your Fortune Your Faith is Your Fortune is one of Neville's ten practical books on the subject of Imagination and Creation, and we've selected his 1959 lecture "That Which Already Has Been" as further illustration of his foundational teachings that Christ is Imagination, at work in your life through you.Joseph Murphy, a writer and lecturer who studied with Neville in New York City, said of him: "Neville may eventually be recognized as one of the world's great mystics." "Assume you are what you want to be. Walk in that assumption and it will harden into fact." The advice, if applied, will change your life... Now, live as though it already has.
