Faith – Neville
Neville Goddard opens his twenty-fifth chapter in his classic work, The Power of Awareness with this familiar quote that we find in Hebrews, chapter 11:1; “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Neville then goes on to tell us that the very reason for the law of assumption is contained in this quote. To further that he says; “If there was not a deep-seated awareness that that which you hoped for had substance and was possible of attainment, it would be impossible to assume the consciousness of being or having it.”
We also know that we would not even be able to have the dream, the desire, if we were not capable of achieving it; which is to say moving it from our imagination and non-form into the visible world of form. The desire is the thing itself being birthed and beginning its journey into form.
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” ― Napoleon Hill
So we must have faith, a faith that is a strong believing faith, and an absolute knowing, that the state of consciousness we are assuming – which is the state of feeling and living the wish fulfilled – MUST come to pass in our actuality.
“A miracle is the name given, by those who have no faith, to the works of faith.” – Neville

Failure – Neville
I hear it and see it all the time on social media, “I tried it and it doesn’t work for me!” or “After three days, nothing!” or even this: “It doesn’t work period!”
Of course I’m speaking about of the Law of Assumption. There is a reason it’s called the Law of Assumption and not the Theory of Assumption. Law is law. It’s always working, just like gravity is always working here on earth. Just like 2 + 2 = 4 within the law of mathematics. Law has already been established and it is our task to learn how to cooperate and work in harmony with these universal, cosmic laws of infinite potential in order to make manifest all we wish to be, do and have.
In this chapter, number twenty-four in Neville’s book, The Power of Awareness, we examine the reasons behind our seeming failure to experience the manifestation of our desires.
Here’s a hint: Does it feel natural to you when you live from your dream in your imagination?
For the details surrounding failure and a deep dive explanation, you’ll have to listen to this entire episode. It’ another good one, you’ll be glad you did!

Persistence – Neville
In this chapter, Neville takes us into Scripture again to illustrate, through stories, how our wish must ultimately come to pass through simply persisting in maintaining the consciousness and the feeling of the desired state, all we wish to be, do and have, already fulfilled.
Neville writes, “Ask, seek and knock mean assuming the consciousness of already having what you desire.” He continues; “Here, to pray means to give thanks for already having what you desire. Only persistency in the assumption of the wish fulfilled can cause those subtle changes in your mind which result in the desired change in your life; all must respond in harmony with your persistent assumption.”
He closes this chapter with these words: “Your assumption, to be effective, cannot be a single isolated act; it must be a maintained attitude of the wish fulfilled. And that maintained attitude that gets you there, so that you think from your wish fulfilled instead of thinking about your wish, is aided by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled frequently. It is the frequency, not the length of time, that makes it natural. That to which you constantly return constitutes your truest self. Frequent occupancy of the feeling of the wish fulfilled is the secret of success.”
I’d like to ask, what would you be doing if you do not persist in maintaining the feeling tone of your wish fulfilled, if you give up? Would you then shift your dominant thoughts to things you don’t want? That is what most people do, and guess what? They persist in those thoughts, they add feelings of despair, doubt, worry and fear and think from that negative state frequently. Then, that is exactly what’s starts showing up in their life.
It works both ways so stay with what you DO want! Persist! You’re worth it! Your dream must be fulfilled through you. Grab a copy of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill as well and read, everyday, for at least thirty days, Hill’s chapter on persistence!

Free Will – Neville
“THE QUESTION IS OFTEN ASKED, “What Should be done between the assumption of the wish fulfilled and its realization?” Nothing. It is a delusion that, other than assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you can do anything to aid the realization of your desire. You think that you can do something, you want to do something; but actually you can do nothing. The illusion of the free will to do is but ignorance of the law of assumption upon which all action is based. Everything happens automatically. All that befalls you, all that is done by you – happens. Your assumptions, conscious or unconscious, direct all thought and action to their fulfillment.” – Neville Goddard, Free Will – The Power of Awareness
After hearing that you may be saying and or thinking; “WHAT?” or even “WTF?” Asking; “Shouldn’t I intentionally and deliberately use my free will to discern what massive action I must take to see my dream come true?”
Indeed this can be very confusing until we comprehend exactly what is being said and have moved our self into our conscious of being; the Creator and the created, the Father and the son. Neville puts it like this, by first quoting Luke 22:42 “Not my will but thine be done,” then explaining; “In the law of assumption, your consciousness of being is the Father’s will. The mere wish without this consciousness is the ‘my will.’ This great quotation, so little understood, is a perfect statement of the law of assumption.”
I share the entire chapter in this episode and use an intangible desire to illustrate this. Listen in and I know this will make more sense for you. This, once thoroughly understood, is yet another powerful key to help you move NOW, into the life you would love to live!
“You must assume that you are what you want to be and continue therein, for the reality of your assumption has its being in complete independence of objective fact and will clothe itself in flesh if you persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled.” – Neville

Righteousness – Neville
Neville defines righteousness for us as “…the consciousness of already being what you want to be.” He shares that, “…this is the the true psychological meaning and obviously does not refer to adherence to moral codes, civil laws or religious precepts.” And I would add that ‘righteousness’ metaphysically defined is “A state of harmony established in consciousness through the right use of God-given attributes.” – Charles Fillmore, Revealing Word
So working within the study of conscious awareness and the law of assumption, righteousness is the right use of our consciousness and spiritual tools or attributes, establishing the state of feeling our wish fulfilled. The opposite of this would be sin, again, not what you think. Sin is missing the mark, not being and living all you wish to be, do and have.
Your dream is real, already created in your imagination. Live there. Feel it real. Never waiver. This is your calling, this is the light you must shine and only you can shine in the unique way you are called to express and shine it!
Do not ignore the tapping at the door of your consciousness. This tapping is longing and discontent for something more wanting to be released. The louder knocking is your dream calling out to you saying “Come live here!” Do it now!
