A good book I usually wouldn’t rate a book so high when it has so much religious content. However, it put the religious content to relate to the subconscious. I really enjoyed the book. I like this quote because I’ve said it before ever reading this book so it’s funny to me that I’ve now read it: “All objective states were first invisible states and you called them into visibility by assuming the feeling of reality.”
I also liked this quote: “The world cannot change until you change your conceptions about it.” I like this quote because it puts the responsibility on the reader. I see so many people complaining about the pollution or global warming and are doing nothing but complaining.

This book truly challenged me to think more deeply about the conscious mind and subconscious mind and how God has equipped us to have free will and walk in the authority He has given us! Give a try this book: https://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Secret...

Small book but excellent
Neville Goddard is the teacher that everyone should follow on their path to reality creation. All his books are worth the investment.

Good stuff overall, however due to its age the book has a few well-meaning but misogynistic Biblical quotes.
Notes :
———
“Consciousness is the one and only reality, not figuratively but actually.”
“By control of feeling is not meant restraint or suppression of your feeling, but rather the disciplining of self to imagine and entertain only such feeling as contributes to your happiness.”
“Control of your feeling is all important to a full and happy life.”
“Never entertain an undesirable feeling, nor think sympathetically about wrong in any shape or form. Do not dwell on the imperfection of yourself or others.”
“I am healthy is a stronger feeling than I will be healthy… What you feel you are always dominates what you feel you would like to be; therefore, to be realized, the wish must be felt as a state that is rather than a state that is not.“
“Be careful of your moods and feelings, for there is an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world. Your body is an emotional filter and bears the unmistakable marks of your prevalent emotions. Emotional disturbances, especially suppressed emotions, are the causes of all disease.”
“Think feelingly only of the state you desire to realize. Feeling the reality of the state sought and living and acting on that conviction is the way of all seeming miracles.”
“… you must assume the feeling that would be yours had you already realized your wish.”
“In defining your objective, you must be concerned only with the objective itself. The manner of expression or the difficulties involved are not to be considered by you.”
“Consciousness is really one and undivided but for creation's sake it appears to be divided into two.”
“Nothing comes from without; all things come from within…”
“To seek on the outside for that which you do not feel you are is to seek in vain, for we never find that which we want; we find only that which we are. In short, you express and have only that which you are conscious of being or possessing.“
“Mastery of self-control of your thoughts and feelings is your highest achievement.”
“Nothing stops you from realizing your objective save your failure to feel that you are already that which you wish to be, or that you are already in possession of the thing sought.”
“Because all things come from within yourself, and your conception of yourself determines that which comes, you should always feel the wish fulfilled before you drop off to sleep.”
“To be realized, then, the wish must be resolved into the feeling of being or having or witnessing the state sought. This is accomplished by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.”
“The feeling which comes in response to the question ‘How would I feel were my wish realized?’ is the feeling which should monopolize and immobilize your attention as you relax into sleep.”
“You must be in the consciousness of being or having that which you want to be or to have before you drop off to sleep.”
“Once asleep, man has no freedom of choice. His entire slumber is dominated by his last waking concept of self.”
“… he should always assume the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction before here tires in sleep…”
“Your mood prior to sleep defines your state of consciousness…”
“Preparing to sleep, you feel yourself into the state of the answered wish…”
“Never go to sleep feeling discouraged or dissatisfied.”
“You are an eternal dreamer dreaming non-eternal dreams.”
“Your dreams take form as you assume the feeling of their reality. Do not limit yourself to the past. Knowing that nothing is impossible to consciousness, begin to imagine states beyond the experiences of the past. Whatever the mind of man can imagine, man can realize.”
“The creative process is first imagining and then believing the state imagined. Always imagine and expect the best.”
“The world cannot change until you change your conception of it. "As within, so without". Nations, as well as people, are only what you believe them to be. No matter what the problem is, no matter where it is, no matter whom it concerns, you have no one to change but yourself, and you have neither opponent nor helper in bringing about the change within yourself.”
“The actions and events of the day are effects; they are not causes. Free will is only freedom of choice.”
“Feeling a state produces that state.”
“The part you play on the world's stage is determined by your conception of yourself.”
“By feeling your wish fulfilled and quietly relaxing into sleep, you cast yourself in a star role to be played on earth tomorrow, and, while asleep, you are rehearsed and instructed in your part.”
“Your only freedom, then, is your freedom of reaction. You are free to choose how you feel and react to the day's drama, but the drama – the actions, events and circumstances of the day – have already been determined.”
“Unless you consciously and purposely define the attitude of mind with which you go to sleep, you unconsciously go to sleep in the composite attitude of mind made up of all feelings and reactions of the day.”
“While you are awake, you are a gardener selecting seed for your garden…”
“Dropping off to sleep feeling satisfied and happy compels conditions and events to appear in your world which confirm these attitudes of mind.”
“Prayer is not so much what you ask for, as how you prepare for its reception.”
“Your prayer must be answered if you assume the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your objective.”
“To pray successfully then, you must yield to the wish, that is, feel the wish fulfilled.”
“The perfectly disciplined man is always in tune with the wish as an accomplished fact. He knows that consciousness is the one and only reality, that ideas and feelings are facts of consciousness and are as real as objects in space; therefore, he never entertains a feeling which does not contribute to his happiness, for feelings are the causes of the actions and circumstances of his life.”
“You never attract that which you want, but always attract that which you are conscious of being.”
“Prayer is the art of assuming the feeling of being and having that which you want.”
“Prayer is the art of yielding to the wish and not the forcing of the wish.”
“Prayer must be without effort.”
“To yield successfully to the wish as an accomplished fact, you must create a passive state, a kind of reverie or meditative reflection similar to the feeling which precedes sleep. In such a relaxed state, the mind is turned from the objective world and easily senses the reality of a subjective state. It is a state in which you are conscious and quite able to move or open your eyes but have no desire to do so.”
“All you can possibly need or desire is already yours. You need no helper to give it to you; it is yours now. Call your desires into being by imagining and feeling your wish fulfilled. As the end is accepted, you become totally indifferent as to possible failure, for acceptance of the end wills the means to that end.”
“Get into the spirit of the state desired by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already the one you want to be. As you capture the feeling of the state sought, you are relieved of all effort to make it so, for it is already so.”
“You are that which you believe yourself to be. Instead of believing in God or in Jesus – believe you are God or you are Jesus.”
“Jesus found it not strange to do the works of God, because He believed Himself to be God. ‘I and My Father are one’ [John 10:30].”
“It is natural to do the works of the one you believe yourself to be.”

I have ready many of his books. His message challenges his readers to understand who we really are in truth and to test what he discovered for themselves. He is not a preacher or pastor. He simply declares a message that was given to him. It will challenge anyone's belief in God, inviting you to know and not guess about this relationship between man and the creator. All is books are worth reading.

This book reads like a scary dark web forum post, or, because I listened to the audiobook version, the rants of that one eye’d guy on the subway that your mom tells you not to stare at.
The message of this book might be the secret ingredient to actually become a God. It probably isn’t though. The thesis is: consciously adjusting your mood and emotion to emulate a reality you desire, sending those feelings from the body to the subconscious (through sleep, meditation, or prayer), and hoping that the ol’ subby does it’s job to turn the actual universe into the one you emulated is far fetched at best, and pseudo-fanatic religious ravings at worst.
The book knows this though, and attempts to refute the need for any evidence or proper quotation (some quotes are referenced from the Bible, some aren’t and are just random quotation marks around old English sounding sentences) by telling you to give manifesting a try and see what happens. Which is a very good appeal to ignorance, and may cause you to think about your future and regulate your emotions better, but also may cause ridiculous narcissism and egomania by permitting the act of living in a universe that they’ve created, but isn’t real.
But what is reality? Who is God? Is an internal locus of control and a strong mind body connection all you need to fulfill your wildest dreams? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also for some reason it gets into a very gendered discussion of reality, as well as some —to put it lightly— “loose” interpretations of the Bible to support the claims. If you come in skeptical you might get something out of it, if you don’t then you might make yourself schizophrenic. Fun times.

I’ve read the book
February 2, 2022
I think this book has one useful insight to offer, albeit it's not the insight that most people here claim to have gotten. Rather, it's the insight into the origins of all self-help books and the philosophy that enables the ideas that they teach. I'm talking of course about pragmatism - the philosophy of lazy thinking.
Something happened at the beginning of the 20th century. Maybe it’s the decline of religion, maybe the industrial progress and the sudden improvement of peoples lives that it brought, maybe it's the growing optimism that people felt for the future, maybe it's all combined - I can only speculate what, but something has pushed the people to view the world in the most pragmatic way possible. Universal truth as a concept was abandoned. There's no need to seek the truth when everyone can invent one on their own. And what truth do they invent? Of course, the one that's most useful or comfortable. This is the guiding principle behind pragmatism. Comfort. Comfort above all becomes the chief criteria for truth. Comfort to form your own truths. Comfort to mend the laws of reality to your own liking. Comfort to not to think when the outside world doesn't conform to your understanding.
Incurable diseases, wars, starvation, human suffering - all can be solved without lifting a finger from your couch. You just have to imagine it and it'll come true. And if it didn't, well then, you've probably tried not hard enough. How does this make you feel? Happy? Do you feel all-powerful? Good. This is the only thin strand that holds this philosophy together - the superficial feeling of happiness. Away with the truth if it interferes with your happiness, away with reality if it obscures your dreams. This is pragmatism in its most naked form.
What I 'like' about this book is that it doesn't try to hide its most egregious fallacy - the claim that you, the reader, are in fact as powerful as god. Nowadays, all self-help books try to glaze over this fact by layers of pseudo-scientific terminology (e.g. quantum consciousness, colliding multiverses), but make no mistake, the guiding principle has always been the same.
I'm giving two stars for the help in understanding the historical evolution of self-help books, as well as the writing itself which was quite eloquent.

Fabulous!
This is the best book on manifestation that I have ever read. Mr. Goddard's explanations are clear & concise. He makes sense out of the book "The Secret" . Thank you!

A fantastic read! This book has really helped me to understand where I was going wrong with the LOA and now things are flowing nicely for me. Goddard is a genius.

Whatever you have in consciousness as you go to sleep is the measure of your expression in the waking two-thirds of your life on earth.
Nothing stops you from realizing your objective save your failure to feel that you are already that which you wish to be, or that you are already in possession of the thing sought. Your subconscious gives form to your desires only when you feel your wish fulfilled.
The unconsciousness of sleep is the normal state of the subconscious. Because all things come from within yourself, and your conception of yourself determines that which comes, you should always feel the wish fulfilled before you drop off to sleep.
-
Ideas enveloped in feeling are creative actions. Use your divine right wisely. Through your ability to think and feel, you have dominion over all creation.
-
Your conception of yourself as you fall asleep is the seed you drop into the ground of the subconscious. Dropping off to sleep feeling satisfied and happy compels conditions and events to appear in your world which confirm these attitudes of mind.
Sleep is the door into heaven. What you take in as a feeling you bring out as a condition, action, or object in space. So sleep in the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
-
He knows that consciousness is the one and only reality, that ideas and feelings are facts of consciousness and are as real as objects in space; therefore he never entertains a feeling which does not contribute to his happiness, for feelings are the causes of the actions and circumstances of his life.
On the other hand, the undisciplined man finds it difficult to believe that which is denied by the senses and usually accepts or rejects solely on appearances of the senses. Because of this tendency to rely on the evidence of the senses, it is necessary to shut them out before starting to pray, before attempting to feel that which they deny. Whenever you are in the state of mind “I should like to, but I cannot”, the harder you try, the less you are able to yield to the wish. You never attract that which you want, but always attract that which you are conscious of being.
-
Prayer is the art of assuming the feeling of being and having that which you want.
Prayer is the art of yielding to the wish and not the forcing of the wish. Whenever your feeling is in conflict with your wish, feeling will be the victor. The dominant feeling invariably expresses itself. Prayer must be without effort. In attempting to fix an attitude of mind which is denied by the senses, effort is fatal.
-
To yield successfully to the wish as an accomplished fact, you must create a passive state, a kind of reverie or meditative reflection similar to the feeling which precedes sleep. In such a relaxed state, the mind is turned from the objective world and easily senses the reality of a subjective state. It is a state in which you are conscious and quite able to move or open your eyes but have no desire to do so. An easy way to create this passive state is to relax in a comfortable chair or on a bed. If on a bed, lie flat on your back with your head on a level with your body, close the eyes and imagine that you are sleepy. Feel – I am sleepy, so sleepy, so very sleepy.
In a little while, a faraway feeling accompanied by a general lassitude and loss of all desire to move envelops you. You feel a pleasant, comfortable rest and not inclined to alter your position, although under other circumstances you would not be at all comfortable. When this passive state is reached, imagine that you have realized your wish – not how it was realized, but simply the wish fulfilled. Imagine in picture form what you desire to achieve in life; then feel yourself as having already achieved it. Thoughts produce tiny little speech movements which may be heard in the passive state of prayer as pronouncements from without. However, this degree of passivity is not essential to the realization of your prayers. All that is necessary is to create a passive state and feel the wish fulfilled.
All you can possibly need or desire is already yours. You need no helper to give it to you; it is yours now. Call your desires into being by imagining and feeling your wish fulfilled. As the end is accepted, you become totally indifferent as to possible failure, for acceptance of the end wills the means to that end. When you emerge from the moment of prayer, it is as though you were shown the happy and successful end of a play although you were not shown how that end was achieved. However, having witnessed the end, regardless of any anticlimactic sequence, you remain calm and secure in the knowledge that the end has been perfectly defined.
-
Get into the spirit of the state desired by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already the one you want to be. As you capture the feeling of the state sought, you are relieved of all effort to make it so, for it is already so. There is a definite feeling associated with every idea in the mind of man. Capture the feeling associated with your realized wish by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of the thing you desire, and your wish will objectify itself.
You never attract that which you want, but always that which you are. As a man is, so does he see.
-
That which you feel yourself to be, you are, and you are given that which you are. So assume the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your wish, and your wish must be realized.
-
You are that which you believe yourself to be.
Instead of believing in God or in Jesus – believe you are God or you are Jesus.
Jesus found it not strange to do the works of God, because He believed Himself to be God. “I and My Father are one” [John 10:30]. It is natural to do the works of the one you believe yourself to be. So live in the feeling of being the one you want to be and that you shall be.
When a man believes in the value of the advice given him and applies it, he establishes within himself the reality of success.
Nothing stops you from realizing your objective save your failure to feel that you are already that which you wish to be, or that you are already in possession of the thing sought. Your subconscious gives form to your desires only when you feel your wish fulfilled.
The unconsciousness of sleep is the normal state of the subconscious. Because all things come from within yourself, and your conception of yourself determines that which comes, you should always feel the wish fulfilled before you drop off to sleep.

He knows that consciousness is the one and only reality, that ideas and feelings are facts of consciousness and are as real as objects in space; therefore he never entertains a feeling which does not contribute to his happiness, for feelings are the causes of the actions and circumstances of his life.
On the other hand, the undisciplined man finds it difficult to believe that which is denied by the senses and usually accepts or rejects solely on appearances of the senses. Because of this tendency to rely on the evidence of the senses, it is necessary to shut them out before starting to pray, before attempting to feel that which they deny. Whenever you are in the state of mind “I should like to, but I cannot”, the harder you try, the less you are able to yield to the wish. You never attract that which you want, but always attract that which you are conscious of being.
-
Prayer is the art of assuming the feeling of being and having that which you want.
Prayer is the art of yielding to the wish and not the forcing of the wish. Whenever your feeling is in conflict with your wish, feeling will be the victor. The dominant feeling invariably expresses itself. Prayer must be without effort. In attempting to fix an attitude of mind which is denied by the senses, effort is fatal.
-
To yield successfully to the wish as an accomplished fact, you must create a passive state, a kind of reverie or meditative reflection similar to the feeling which precedes sleep. In such a relaxed state, the mind is turned from the objective world and easily senses the reality of a subjective state. It is a state in which you are conscious and quite able to move or open your eyes but have no desire to do so. An easy way to create this passive state is to relax in a comfortable chair or on a bed. If on a bed, lie flat on your back with your head on a level with your body, close the eyes and imagine that you are sleepy. Feel – I am sleepy, so sleepy, so very sleepy.
In a little while, a faraway feeling accompanied by a general lassitude and loss of all desire to move envelops you. You feel a pleasant, comfortable rest and not inclined to alter your position, although under other circumstances you would not be at all comfortable. When this passive state is reached, imagine that you have realized your wish – not how it was realized, but simply the wish fulfilled. Imagine in picture form what you desire to achieve in life; then feel yourself as having already achieved it. Thoughts produce tiny little speech movements which may be heard in the passive state of prayer as pronouncements from without. However, this degree of passivity is not essential to the realization of your prayers. All that is necessary is to create a passive state and feel the wish fulfilled.
All you can possibly need or desire is already yours. You need no helper to give it to you; it is yours now. Call your desires into being by imagining and feeling your wish fulfilled. As the end is accepted, you become totally indifferent as to possible failure, for acceptance of the end wills the means to that end. When you emerge from the moment of prayer, it is as though you were shown the happy and successful end of a play although you were not shown how that end was achieved. However, having witnessed the end, regardless of any anticlimactic sequence, you remain calm and secure in the knowledge that the end has been perfectly defined.
-
Get into the spirit of the state desired by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already the one you want to be. As you capture the feeling of the state sought, you are relieved of all effort to make it so, for it is already so. There is a definite feeling associated with every idea in the mind of man. Capture the feeling associated with your realized wish by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of the thing you desire, and your wish will objectify itself.
You never attract that which you want, but always that which you are. As a man is, so does he see.
-
That which you feel yourself to be, you are, and you are given that which you are. So assume the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your wish, and your wish must be realized.
-
You are that which you believe yourself to be.
Instead of believing in God or in Jesus – believe you are God or you are Jesus.
Jesus found it not strange to do the works of God, because He believed Himself to be God. “I and My Father are one” [John 10:30]. It is natural to do the works of the one you believe yourself to be. So live in the feeling of being the one you want to be and that you shall be.
When a man believes in the value of the advice given him and applies it, he establishes within himself the reality of success.

_اسم الكتاب: الشعور هو السر
"القواعد الأربع الخفية للوصول إلى الشعور "
_اسم المؤلف: نيفيل جودارد
_ دار النشر: أولد بوك
_عدد الصفحات: 80
📌 نبذة:
الأفكار المغلفة بالإيمان التام هي أفعال إبداعية استخدم حقك الإلهي بحكمة، فمن خلال قدرتك على التحكم في الأفكار والشعور تصبح لديك السيطرة على كل ما ترغب فيه.
إن تصورك لنفسك وأنت تغفو هو البذرة التي تلقيها في أرضِ العقل الباطن. والفرق في النوم والشعور بالرضا والسعادة يُجبر الظروف والأحداث السعيدة على الظهور في عالمك، والتي تؤكد وتُحقق بسحر هذه المواقف الذهنية.
📌 رأيي بالكتاب:
الشعور ليس محض صدفة إنها ارتباطات وحبال وصلات عميقة في عالم غير مرئي بالنسبة للإنسان عالم نشعر به فقط من خلال حواسنا.
في الكثير من حياتنا نشعر بشعور سيء اتجاه شيء ما أو حتى بشعور جيد اتجاه شيء ما وقد يصيب هذا الشعور فما يقوله نيفيل أن كل هذا ليس محض صدفة وإنما بسبب العقل الباطن والوعي واللاوعي الموجود بداخلنا.
لهذا ينقسم الكتاب إلى 4 فصول وهي :
الأول : القانون وطريقة عمله
الثاني : النوم
الثالث : الصلاة
الرابع : الروح -الشعور
وفي كل فصل يتطرق بشكل عميق عن الشعور والعقل الباطن وكيفية عمله وايضاً الوعي واللاوعي وعلاقتهم المترابطة في العمل وكيف تجعل شعورك جيد اتجاه كل ما في الحياة .
طبعاً مع بعض التحفظات بالنسبة لفصل الصلاة بالطبع لأنني مسلمة فصلاتي مختلفة عن صلاة نيفيل فلم أخذ بعين الاعتبار ما تم ذكره داخل هذا الفصل بالذات.
كتاب خفيف لطيف أخذت منه بعض الأفكار التي افادتني وبعضها أعتقد أنها مفيدة وقد اجربها في يومِ ما على كيفية السيطرة على الوعي ، أعتقد أنني قرأته بالوقت المناسب.
📌 تقييمي : 4.5/5

What a powerful message in such a tiny little book! It can be summed up in the title, lol! We get what we feel. The better we feel the better it gets... and the better it gets the better we will feel! Feeling good is a choice.

Feeling is the Secret
By Neville Goddard
A Review by Cécile Rischmann
Neville Goddard’s Feeling is the Secret did not waste a minute on who, what, when, where, how – about the author, it started on page 1, showing us what to do, what not to do, how to do what we are doing in the right way, how not to program our minds, why we do not receive what we ask for, how we can use the Kingdom of God (the goldmine in us) and reach our dreams. In short, it is a book based on solutions.
To me, there is ONE book that is incomparable – The Bible. I’ve been a fan of the Bible right from the early teens and know that it works – not for everyone, only for those who want to understand, who want to receive, who want to believe and receive. Yes, we receive what we ask for when we believe. Sounds simple? It is simple, but as Ecclesiast says in 7:29. 29 This is all that I have learned: God made us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated.
In a nutshell, we are enemies to ourselves because we block God’s plans by our unbelief. We do not receive because our intellect questions the Source of Distribution – how is that possible? Our logical mind refuses to accept because it believes that in order to receive, it should be able to see, touch, hear, smell, taste. What a limitation!
Goddard clarifies the relation between your five senses and your sixth sense and beautifully reveals how your fives senses can be activated to impress the primary sense … what is that? Let me quote the definition of the sixth sense: a supposed intuitive faculty giving awareness not explicable in terms of normal perception.
Simply stated, we have to fuel this sixth sense to work for and not against us. But for us to begin this energising, we need to connect it to the right Source. And that is where I love Goddard’s explanation about the male (Conscious Mind) and the female (Subconscious Mind) and the relationship they share. Not the dominant-submissive but the equivalent “lover” status. He goes on to say that NOTHING can be achieved by force. If you want that Biblically, let’s quote Sirach 20:4: “Using force to get a point across is like a castrated man trying to rape a young woman.”
So why waste energy on force when there is a more subtle way of getting what you need – like a lover? According to Goddard, you impress your feelings on your subconscious mind to make it attain what you are feeling (happiness of already achieving that which you want). But if you're going to realise your objective, you must make yourself receptive to receiving that which you yearn for, and only when you get yourself into that state, your subconscious mind can bring the inner impression into the outer expression.
Jesus summed it up in many passages in the way of parables so that we thick-heads would understand what he was implying. But are we are looking for understanding, or are we so busy doused in negative thinking that we miss the solution given?
Let’s take the popularly quoted passage Mark 9:23: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
What is the message there? Let’s see in what context this was quoted. If I remember right, it was after the disciples tried to cure a boy possessed by a demon and failed. Mind you, this was after Jesus sent them out with instructions to work in his name. But invisible forces were operating. The father’s disbelief in the disciples’ miraculous power. This could be because he might have come to seek Jesus and found the disciples instead. The disciple’s dependence on Jesus to do all the work while still around might have lessened their effort and belief in themselves. And finally, the father’s doubt could have triggered the disciple’s fears of accomplishment. All put together, they failed to cure the boy. So the boy’s father cries out to Jesus for help. It is interesting to see how Jesus handles the case.
He first calls them a “faithless generation”, then laments how long he should be with them and only then asks to bring the boy to him. When the father tries to put Jesus in the centre of the miracle, saying, “If you can do anything, have compassion and save us”, Jesus immediately puts him in the centre and responds, “If you can. All things are possible to him who believeth.” What a beautiful answer to the doubtful mind. IF YOU CAN. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM WHO BELIEVETH.
This feeling of “CAN” should be instilled in us, and it can be planted if we allow the possibility of the miracle happening. So instead of working against our objective, we can work for our miracle. Instead of sowing fear and doubt, we can sow faith and trust. But the best way to do that is not through compulsion, says Goddard. It is through relaxation. Lull your mind to sleep even as you stretch into a comfortable position, start to think of what you want, receive what you want with a childlike attitude. Let’s go further and remember what was said about the child who asks his father for bread. Jesus challenges whether the child will receive a stone instead. And if he asks for fish, will his father give him a serpent. He then concludes by saying if we who are wicked know how to give good things to our children, how much more our Father in heaven will give to his children.
So why don’t we impress upon our minds what we want to receive and feel happiness, which is an act of faith as we haven’t yet received it but are already in the “thank you, Jesus” mode? And as promised, we will receive what we have already received in our minds and hearts as our senses absorb that happiness and impress it upon the subconscious mind, which, in turn, RESPONDS and draws that result to us.
Let us not waste time dwelling on what we want and wishing we can have it … let us go forward and grasp it and believe that we have it even before we do so that our Father receives the thank you beforehand and responds to the child in us.
Goddard has brought into focus what already existed and was not understood. He has used no flowery language in his explanations—just simple truth in a condensed style to get the points across.
I rate this audiobook a 5/5.

“As a man is, so does he see.”
Very short book but a good reminder of the power of your subconscious mind. Several biblical references sprinkled throughout. If that’s not a concern for you, this is a nice reminder of why and how to reframe your mind to support who and how you want to be.

I am all for people having confidence and dreams but this and similar books border on insanity. A very nice realm of insanity but insanity nonetheless. You will not think or dream your way happier, thinner, living a fuller life. Nor by just thinking happy thoughts and feeling happy.
Like Maybe, maybe you are supposed to be sad, depressed, bored. What if these were truly the emotions that spur you to your highest ideal.
Why visiaulize yourself happy when you aren't? What does that gain you besides repression? Why fantasize about a perfect world when you will be more fulfillled actually helping out in this one.
The truth in this life is both. Both beautiful and ugly
Both blissful and depressing, both full of life and death.
The problem with this book and ones like it to me is this, you create a false reality in your head and this helps it along. I say wherever you are feel it and at each moment allow yourself to go where you are going. No daydreaming required.
Furthermore, when you live in this blissful insanity, you deny your connection. Your true ability to connect to that person who is depressed, who just lost a loved one, who just got news of a illness, who has been through war. By embracing all of our emotions and not daydreaming do we embrace our humanity and truly be able to give comfort and connection.
I have seen so many instances when a person were pouring out their sorrows and the listener said something to the effect of "Don't claim it" "You gotta think positive" " You attract what you think about, if you think bad, bad will happen" welp newsflash You can deny your cancer diagnoses that wont make it go away, you can think as positive as you want and still be a victim of genocide, you can think about hitting the lottery all day and still never do. The positive thinking extremes must go.

Me parece un libro bastante interesante, porque el autor trata te contextualizar que la palabra de Dios no debe tomarse en el sentido abstracto y que hay que interpartarla en tu mundo actual y estilo de vida sobre lo que es correcto y que es lo adecuado.
Me resulto muy interesante cuando cita que la Oracion es la mejor via para conectar con Dios y me refresca aquel milagrao de Jesus, cuando el Soldado Rompano(Referencia), ademas cuando dice que "El que crea con fe se le cumplira".
Lo mas interesante de este libro es que te hace reflexionar que buscar de Dios no debe ser de palabra, sino "Estar convencido de que el rige nuestras vida".
Referencia Lucas 6-10
6 Y Jesús fue con ellos. Pero cuando ya no estaban lejos de la casa, el centurión envió a él unos amigos, diciéndole: Señor, no te molestes, pues no soy digno de que entres bajo mi techo;
7 por lo que ni aun me tuve por digno de venir a ti; pero dí la palabra, y mi siervo será sano.
8 Porque también yo soy hombre puesto bajo autoridad, y tengo soldados bajo mis órdenes; y digo a éste: Vé, y va; y al otro: Ven, y viene; y a mi siervo: Haz esto, y lo hace.
9 Al oír esto, Jesús se maravilló de él, y volviéndose, dijo a la gente que le seguía: Os digo que ni aun en Israel he hallado tanta fe.
10 Y al regresar a casa los que habían sido enviados, hallaron sano al siervo que había estado enfermo.

الحمدلله على نعمة الإسلام! هذه الكتب رغم أن بها بعض الفائدة و لكنها لا تخلو من الشرك، و لقراءتها يحتاج المرء إلى عقل واعٍ ليستطيع إلتقاط زهرة ملقاة وسط الأشواك دون أن يُجرح.

My venture in the field of Law of Belief exposed me to the works of two of the most prominent New Thought contemporaries: Joseph Murphy and Neville Goddard.
I've read Joseph Murphy's The Power of The Subconscious Mind. That book is a storehouse of knowledge. It contains everything that a person needs to follow and master the Law.
After reading, Feeling Is The Secret, I found that Neville provides a wholly new perspective in the field. Although, the methods (particularly the as if method) defined in this book are definitely not meant for beginners, it does provide an interesting view towards the entire subject matter.
In my opinion, both Murphy and Goddard are important. They are the two sides of the same coin. While Murphy explains the Law with a more practical approach, Goddard walks us on a more spiritualistic path.

The essence of simplicity. Life changing. Powerfully invigorating. Try it. Your own success with the method will be the only evidence you require.
Worst case scenario? You feel marvelous daydreaming about your deepest desires. Not longingly, but presently as though you are living and breathing your own highest achievement. Allowing yourself the child-like freedom to live in them. Persist in the wonderful feeling and it just might work.
This is the next chapter for humanity.
For all of us to step into this together, from love.
If it is possible to make oneself sick with worry, then it figures it must be possible to make oneself powerful with all the feelings of highest accomplishment.
