In The Power of Imagination, Neville Goddard teaches that the human imagination is not just a mental tool—it is divine. He argues that our imaginative faculty is God, and that by feeling and assuming that our desires are already fulfilled, we can shape our outer world. Through vivid mental imagery and intense emotion, you impress your subconscious mind, which then molds physical reality in harmony with your inner assumptions.

Neville also emphasizes the practice of “living from the end”: you should live as though the wish you desire has already come true, rather than longing for it. He teaches techniques such as revision—mentally reimagining past events to alter how they influence your present—and persistent assumption, holding onto your desired state even in the face of contradictory outer evidence¹.
