Neville Goddard (1905-1972), often published simply as Neville, was a Barbadian-born writer, lecturer, and spiritual teacher whose work became one of the most influential expressions of twentieth-century New Thought and metaphysical self-help. Born in Barbados, he moved to the United States as a young man and eventually became known for lectures and books centered on imagination, consciousness, assumption, scripture, and the creative power of inner belief.Goddard's teaching differs from many practical success writers because he grounds personal transformation in a mystical interpretation of the Bible. He argued that biblical stories should be read psychologically and spiritually rather than merely historically, with Christ, God, and scripture understood as living realities within human consciousness. His central claim was that imagination is divine creative power and that the assumptions a person accepts inwardly shape the conditions they experience outwardly.Among his best-known works are Feeling Is the Secret, The Power of Awareness, Awakened Imagination, Your Faith Is Your Fortune, Out of This World, and The Law and the Promise. His lectures and books continue to attract readers interested in manifestation, the law of assumption, affirmations, creative visualization, mystical Christianity, and the relationship between self-concept and lived experience. Long after his death, Goddard remains a major figure for readers seeking a spiritually charged approach to self-development and conscious creation.
