Neville Goddard was a spiritual teacher and author known for his works on the power of the human imagination and its ability to shape one’s reality. “The Wealth Mindset” is a book of 3 lectures by Neville Goddard to explains exactly how you can become wealthy and it’s not what you think.
In his teachings, Neville Goddard often emphasized the following principles related to the wealth mindset:
- Imagination: Goddard believed that the imagination is a powerful tool for manifesting one’s desires, including wealth. He encouraged people to vividly imagine themselves already in possession of the wealth they desire.
- Belief and Faith: He stressed the importance of having unwavering faith and belief in the realization of your desires. You must believe that what you imagine is already true.
- Feeling and Emotion: Neville Goddard emphasized that it’s not enough to imagine your desires; you must also feel the emotions associated with having achieved them. The feeling of wealth and abundance is crucial.
- Affirmations and Visualization: He advocated the use of positive affirmations and visualization techniques to reinforce your beliefs and manifest your desires.
- Persistence: Goddard encouraged persistence and patience in pursuing your desires. He believed that consistent focus and faith would eventually lead to the manifestation of your desires.
Living from the End: One of his key concepts was to “live from the end.” This means behaving and making choices as if your desires have already been realized, aligning your actions with your imagined reality.
In this book, he tells a story of a man who had attended his lectures 3 years ago, but did not do anything with the information. He visited Neville 3 years after that and said his life was one of poverty and he could never get anywhere in life because of his skin color.
He goes on to describe how this man had a realization it was all in his head so to speak and did what Neville suggested. This man went on to become very wealthy and brought his children to Neville’s lectures and their lives were dramatically changed too.
One thing to note was this man did not work hard, but he worked smart by using his mind and imagination.
Another big takeaway I had from this book was Neville’s wife woke up to a voice distinctly saying to her: You must stop spending your thoughts, your time, and your money. Everything in life must be an investment.
She told that to her husband Neville and it had a profound impact on him as well, knowing that thought is the coin of heaven. It’s the money of heaven.
He goes on to say “So every moment of time, I’m either spending or I’m investing. Unfortunately, must of us spend the coin of heaven – and morning, noon and night we live in negatives states for which there’s no return – when we could easily not have spent, but invested that moment, so at the end of the day we really would have a wonderful portfolio.
So if you understand what he is saying here, you will be conscious of your thoughts because they create your future and your prosperity. Why would you choose a thought of negativity that would bring more negative into your life in the future rather than investing in a positive thought that can bring you good and prosperity?
To fully understand and apply his principles, you may want to explore his original writings and lectures, which can provide more in-depth insights into his teachings on the wealth mindset. I highly recommend reading “The Wealth Mindset” by Neville to strengthen your understanding of the real path to wealth.
