If you have been following me for a while, you will know that I absolutely believe in Neville Goddard’s manifestation techniques. I believe you can create absolutely anything in your life if you follow exactly what he says and persist in it long enough.
I also believe if you hear enough stories of people just like you who used his techniques and have had amazing success, you will start to believe you are no different than anyone else and these techniques will work for you too.
The great part is, it costs you nothing and it does not matter who you are or what you have done in the past…ANYONE can change.
I wanted to share with you today an amazing story of how Neville’s techniques work.
This story comes from Neville Goddard’s book, “Awakened Imagination” and you can read a more detailed account of the story in “Infinite Potential”, chapter 7, “All Things Are Possible”, a transcript of a televised talk he gave in 1955…
Here is a practical application of this theory. A year ago, a blind girl living in the city of San Francisco found herself confronted with a transportation problem. A rerouting of buses forced her to make three transfers between her home and her office. This lengthened her trip from fifteen minutes to two hours and fifteen minutes. She thought seriously about this problem and came to the decision that a car was the solution. She knew that she could not drive a car but felt she could be driven in one.
Putting this theory to the test that “whenever the actions of the inner self correspond to the actions which the outer, physical self must take to appease desire, that desire will be realized,” she said to herself, “I will sit here and imagine that I am being driven to my office.”
Sitting in her living room, she began to imagine herself seated in a car. She felt the rhythm of the motor. She imagined that she smelled the odor of gasoline, felt the motion of the car, touched the sleeve of the driver and felt that the driver was a man. She felt the car stop, and turning to her companion, said “Thank you very much, sir.” To which he replied, “The pleasure is all mine.” Then she stepped from the car and heard the door snap shut as she closed it.
She told me that she centered her imagination on being in a car and, although blind, viewed the city from her imaginary ride. She did not think of the ride. She though from the ride and all that it implied. This controlled and subjectively directed purposive ride raised her imagination to its full potency. She kept her purpose ever before her, knowing there was cohesion in the purposive inner movement. In these mental journeys an emotional continuity must be sustained – the motion of fulfilled desire. Expectancy and desire were so intensely joined that they passed at once from a mental state into a physical act.
The inner self moves along the predetermined course best when the emotions collaborate. The inner self must be fired, and it is best fired by the thought of great deeds and personal gain. We must take pleasure in our actions.
On two successive days, the blind girl took her imaginary ride, giving it all the joy and sensory vividness of reality. A few hours after her second imaginary ride, a friend told her of a story in the evening paper. It was a story of a man who was interested in the blind. The blind girl phoned him and stated her problem. The very next day, on his way home, he stopped in at a bar and while there had the urge to tell the story of the blind girl to his friend the proprietor. A total stranger, on hearing the story, volunteered to drive the blind girl home every day. The man who told the story said, “If you will take her home, I will take her to work.”
This was over a year ago, and since that day, this blind girl has been driven to and from her office by these two gentleman. Now, instead of spending two hours and fifteen minutes on three buses, she is at her office in less than fifteen minutes. And on that first ride to her office, she turned to her good Samaritan and said, “Thank you very much, sir”; and he replied, “The pleasure is all mine.”
This, the objects of her imagination were to her the realities of which the physical manifestation was only the witness. The determinative animating principle was the imaginative ride. Her triumph could be a surprise only to those who did not know of her inner ride. She mentally viewed the world from this imaginative ride with such a clearness of vision that every aspect of the city attained identity.
These inner movements not only produce corresponding outer movement: this is the law which operates beneath all physical appearances. He who practices these exercises of bilocation will develop unusual power of concentration and quiescence and will inevitably achieve waking consciousness of the inner and dimensionally larger world. Actualizing strongly, she fulfilled her desire, for, viewing the city from the feeling of her wish fulfilled, she matched the state desired and granted that to herself which sleeping men ask of God.
To realize your desire, an action must start in your imagination, apart from the evidence of the senses, involving movement of self and implying fulfillment of your desire. Whenever it is the action which the outer self take to appease desire, that desire will be realized.
The movement of every visible object is caused not by things outside the body, but by things within it, which operate from within outward. The journey is in yourself. You travel along the highways of the inner world. Without inner movement, it is impossible to bring forth anything. Inner action is introverted sensation. If you will construct mentally a drama which implies that you have realized your objective, then close your eyes and drop your thoughts inward, centering your imagination all the while in the predetermined action and partake in that action, you will become a self-determined being.
Inner action orders all things according to the nature of itself. Try it and see whether a desirable ideal once formulated is possible, for only by this process of experiment can you realize your potentialities. It is thus that this creative principle is being realized. So the clue to purposive living is to center your imagination in the action and feeling of fulfilled desire with such awareness, such sensitiveness, that you initiate and experience movement upon the inner world.
Ideas only act if they are felt, if they awaken inner movement. Inner movement is conditioned by self-motivation, outer movement by compulsion.
