Five Lessons
In 1948, Neville Goddard taught a five-night class in Los Angeles that has become the most sought-after distillation of his entire teaching. Each evening he delivered one lesson — a complete, practical statement of the law and its application — to a class of students he challenged to test everything before the week was out.
The five lessons build on one another:
- Consciousness Is the Only Reality — the foundation, and the technique of prayer given in full.
- Assumptions Harden Into Fact — the Bible read psychologically, and the power of the assumed state.
- Thinking Fourth-Dimensionally — time, the future occupied now, and the mechanics of the imaginal act.
- No One to Change But Self — the mirror of consciousness and the daily practice of the drowsy state.
- Remain Faithful to Your Idea — persistence, and the closing counsel to walk as though you were it.
