Ever felt overwhelmed by all the complex manifestation advice out there? Today, we’re having a manifestation mastermind, delving into the profound teachings of Neville Goddard – a manifestation icon. 

In a world where simplicity often wins, Goddard’s complex language might seem daunting. However, beneath his intricate words lies invaluable wisdom.

On TikTok and YouTube, Goddard’s teachings are everywhere. But because they’ve been reinvented over and over again, their true essence is sometimes lost.

So for today’s Mindspo x Manifestie episode, Soll and I have handpicked 8 of his most potent quotes, the ones that resonate across time and space and bring you the core of his teachings.

We’re stripping away the confusion because manifestation isn’t about fancy rituals or complicated techniques. It’s about understanding yourself, letting your imagination run wild, and keeping your eyes on your goals. It’s simpler than you think, and we’re using Neville Goddard’s teachings to show you how.

Ready? Let’s dive in!

1. Your thoughts create your reality

“Man moves in a world that is nothing more or less than his consciousness objectified.” 

– Neville Goddard 

At first glance, this quote might sound like a riddle, but it’s a fundamental truth about manifestation. It’s so easy to get caught up in the tangible world around us. We see things, and what we see moulds our thoughts. This can lead us into a trap of believing that the physical world dictates everything, when in fact, it’s our perceptions that shape our reality. 

In essence, this Neville Goddard quote is another way of saying, ‘Your thoughts create your reality’. Goddard reminds us that the world we see is like a giant mirror, reflecting what’s inside our minds.

Your thoughts aren’t just random; they’re powerful creators shaping the world around you. It’s as if he’s handing us the palette to paint our own existence, reminding us that understanding this basic truth simplifies the whole manifestation process.

2. Change your conception and you will change the world

“Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live.” 

– Neville Goddard 

This quote centres on the transformative power of self-concept. It’s about reshaping how we perceive ourselves, and in doing so, transforming the very fabric of our reality.

Your self-concept, the beliefs and notions you hold about who you are, profoundly influences your daily life. Think about it: how you describe yourself not only affects your mornings but also shapes your ambitions and the goals you dare to pursue. It’s the lens through which you view your potential and limitations.

One of the biggest ways to change your life is to play around and reimagine your own self-identity. To do so, consider doing this exercise: Grab a piece of paper and split it in half. On one side, jot down your current self-concept – be honest and open, listing all the qualities, both positive and negative, you believe define you. Don’t judge; just observe.

Then, take a moment to meditate and shake off any energy that doesn’t serve you. 

Now, on the other side of the paper, let your imagination run wild. Envision your future self, free from the constraints of your current beliefs. Write down the person you aspire to be. Maybe you’re more disciplined, or you have a thriving social life. Picture this version of yourself vividly, and dream without limits.

This exercise isn’t just about wishful thinking; it’s a powerful act of self-creation. When you merge your current self with your envisioned future self, you’re opening a portal to transformation. It’s an opportunity to redefine who you are, not just in your mind but in your daily reality.

Embrace the power of your self-conception, because by reshaping your beliefs about yourself, you’re rewriting the narrative of your life.

3. Life gives you what you give to yourself

“For life makes no mistakes and always gives man that which man first gives himself.”

– Neville Goddard

To us, this Neville Goddard quote is all about self-love and self-worth. This truth emphasises the importance of nurturing your worth internally, rather than seeking it in external achievements or possessions.

Often in the pursuit of love, success, or acknowledgment, we find ourselves seeking these validations outside of us. It’s common to believe that once we get the perfect job, the ideal partner, or our dream car, then we’ll feel better about ourselves. 

Yet, the truth is, true worthiness blossoms from within. It flourishes when you start giving all those things to yourself. When you begin to perceive yourself as successful, that’s the moment you genuinely become worthy of success. It’s not about the external trappings; it’s about the belief you hold in yourself.

If you desire to be someone different from who you are right now, you have to let go of your present limitations and identity. You are whoever you pretend to be. This isn’t about putting on a mask; it’s about giving yourself permission to fully embrace the version of yourself you envision. By embodying this vision, you gradually become it.

Everything you desire is within your reach right now. So often, we wait for external validation, seeking permission from the world. But the truth is, your worthiness and authenticity come from within. You have the power to define your own value and shape your unique identity. The power is in your hands.

4. Relying on your physical surroundings enslaves you to your senses

“If you judge after appearances, you will continue to be enslaved by the evidence of your senses.”

– Neville Goddard 

If you rely only on your physical surroundings as a reference for what’s possible, you’re enslaved by what your senses perceive. 

In a world obsessed with what’s visible, you have to learn to be delusional in the eyes of those who don’t grasp the power of imagination.

This is where the magic of visualisation steps in. Vision boards, manifestation movies – they’re not just creative projects; they’re like portals to our dreams.

Visualising your goals before they materialise is like living in a world before it exists. It might seem delusional to some, but this mental groundwork is where the real magic of manifestation begins. 

It’s about manifesting from a state of being, feeling, and believing in what’s possible. If you limit yourself to what’s already in front of you, you miss the point.

In our culture, it’s ironic how scepticism often clouds our belief in the power of imagination. People tend to dismiss the unseen, forgetting that countless groundbreaking inventions began as wild ideas. 

Think about it: from Elon Musk’s ambitious projects to the gadgets we can’t live without, they all started as ‘head in the clouds’ visions. So when someone remarks, ‘She’s always daydreaming,’ we say, ‘Great! Let her dream on,’ because it’s within those dreams that the extraordinary takes shape.

5. What you focus on, expands

“To attempt to change circumstances before I change my own imaginal activity is to struggle against the very nature of my own being, for my own imaginal activity is animating my world.”

– Neville Goddard

This quote is another reminder that our imagination is the true powerhouse within us. It’s fascinating how we tend to associate power with physical force, whereas the power of our thoughts is underestimated. 

We have thousands of thoughts daily, but if they’re all over the place, they don’t hold much weight. It’s the thoughts you focus on, the ones you repeat and back up with genuine feelings, that truly matter. What you focus on, expands.

Imagine it as water dripping on a stone. One drop won’t do much, but if you keep the water dripping consistently, it can wear away even the toughest rock. 

Your thoughts, when aligned and repeated, work the same way. They slowly reshape your reality, one consistent thought at a time.

6. Your problem will only live as long as you are conscious of it

“You do not fight against your problem; your problem will only live as long as you are conscious of it. Take your attention away from your problem and the multitude of reasons why you cannot achieve your ideal. Concentrate your attention entirely upon the thing desired.”

– Neville Goddard

Often, we get trapped in a cycle of worrying about what we don’t want, inadvertently inviting those very things into our lives.

Take the common fear of getting sick as an example. Many people obsess over not getting sick, but the universe doesn’t process the “don’t.” It picks up on the essence of your thoughts, which, in this case, is sickness. 

Instead of fixating on the absence of illness, try redirecting your focus to your health. Imagine the vibrant energy of a healthy body, feel the vitality in your imagination. The key is not to wrestle with your problems but to shift your focus entirely. 

When you find yourself in a worry loop about a certain problem, pause and ask, “Is there something I can do about this? Is there any element within my control?” If not, surrender and let it go. If there is something you can control, focus on overcoming the challenge.

It’s important to acknowledge problems, but dwelling on worst-case scenarios doesn’t help. The average state of mind already has an imbalance by often fixating on negative outcomes. So sort your thoughts, put them into mental “buckets” of things you can solve and things you can’t solve, and prevent them from looping endlessly.

It’s not about removing all negativity; it’s about finding balance and redirecting your energy toward solutions.

7. You get what you are conscious of being

“To be conscious of being poor while praying for riches is to be rewarded with that which you are conscious of being, namely, poverty. Prayers to be successful must be claimed and appropriated. Assume the positive consciousness of the thing desired.”

– Neville Goddard 

Many times, people find themselves stuck in a loop of wanting something while focusing on its absence or its negative counterpart. 

For example, if you wish for success but keep thinking about your lack of it, you’re actually drawing more lack into your life.

The key is to imagine and feel as if you already have what you desire. It’s not just thinking about it; it’s acting, feeling, and believing you already possess it. This might feel strange, but it’s a powerful truth: you become what you believe and pretend to be. 

Life can be seen as a game, and manifestation is your tool to play it. When you look at your life as a game, you can select any character you want to be. You aren’t confined to your current identity; you can experiment, have fun, and try out different roles. 

This wisdom challenges us to live in two worlds at the same time. On one level, we embrace this playful, delusional understanding of reality where we are the architects of our worlds. On another level, we navigate the rules of society.

As a practical action step, choose something you aspire to be and transform it into an “I am” affirmation. Whether it’s becoming a morning person or prioritising your health, input this affirmation into our Manifestie app. Every single time you see it pop up on your phone, vocalise it in your mind. 

Take that desire that you’ve been thinking about and put it into action today. Decide that you’re already that person and begin embodying those qualities.

8. Here is a simple formula for successful fishing

“Here is a simple formula for successful fishing. First decide what it is you want to express or possess. This is essential. You must definitely know what you want of life before you can fish for it. After your decision is made, turn from the world of sense, remove your attention from the problem and place it on just being by repeating quietly but with feeling, “I AM.” As your attention is removed from the world round about you and placed upon the I AM so that you are lost in the feeling of simply being, you will find yourself slipping the anchor that tied you to the shallows of your problem; and effortlessly you will find yourself moving out into the deep.”

– Neville Goddard

This quote provides us with a simple yet powerful roadmap to manifesting our desires.

It begins with getting really clear on what you desire in life. If that feels overwhelming, start by understanding how you want to feel because our emotions are at the core of our desires.

Once your desire is clear, disconnect yourself mentally from your current circumstances, letting go of the limitations that surround you. Instead, turn your attention inward and repeat to yourself, “I am,” feeling the essence of your desired state.

Interestingly, in this process, you’re not just daydreaming; you’re actually being profoundly aware. You’re deeply mindful, focusing your mind and energy on your desired outcome.

Imagine this shift as releasing an anchor. It sets you free from your past self and problems, allowing you to effortlessly move towards unexplored opportunities and potential.

This metaphor resonates deeply with life and abundance. We often confine ourselves within the limits of our thoughts, trapping ourselves in a small box of perceived potential. This Neville Goddard quote reminds us to break free from these limits, from the shallow waters of our limitations, and dive into the unknown depths where endless possibilities await.

But it all starts with your choices. First, you need to choose what you want. Then, disconnect from your current situation, allowing yourself to fully immerse in your desires.

Manifestation is the dance between imagination and reality 

Remember, manifestation isn’t about wishful thinking; it’s about the dance between imagination and reality. As you navigate these realms, pay attention to the emotions you want to experience; let these feelings guide your way.

Embrace this journey of living in two worlds. By doing so, you’ll uncover the incredible power within you. With conscious intention and focused energy, you can turn your dreams into beautiful, tangible realities.
