A beautiful edition of one of the twentieth century's most powerful and intriguing works on how to use the manifesting powers of your mind. Features the bonus book, Awakened Imagination.
Here is a signature volume of one of the most quietly impactful and radical works ever written on the creative potentialities of human thought, The Power of Awareness. In this book, author Neville presents a concise, unforgettable statement of his core philosophy: that the world around you is a picture in your mind's eye, created by your thinking, and susceptible to change by altering your thoughts and feelings.
Originally published in 1952, The Power of Awareness not only prefigured the revolution in mind-power metaphysics, but surpassed it. Before the public had heard about quantum physics experiments (popularized in our own time through movies such as The Secret and What the Bleep Do We Know ?), Neville was conveying the unheard-of message that reality is directly impacted by the perspective and consciousness of the observer himself. Moreover, he wrote, each of us is ultimately responsible for, and capable of reshaping, the outer circumstances we perceive.
Neville's authorial genius is his ability to deliver these ideas in an immensely readable and enjoyable way. Like few other metaphysical figures of his era, Neville captured complexities in simple stories, memorable examples, and practical advice. His books are unfailingly brief and easy to read, because his command of his material is so masterly and complete.
The Power of Awareness also includes a special bonus work, Awakened Imagination, originally published in 1954. This two-in-one volume forms a brilliant introduction and user's guide to the practical philosophy of a great spiritual thinker.
2022 Reprint of 1952 first edition. Neville Lancelot Goddard was born in Barbados in 1905. He came to the United States to study drama at the age of seventeen and whilst touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics, after striking up a conversation with a Scotsman who lent him a series of books on the powers of the mind. On his return he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. After traveling extensively throughout the United States, Neville eventually made his home in Los Angeles where, in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio, and for many years lectured regularly to capacity audiences. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he confined most of his lectures to Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. In his early lectures and books, Neville dealt solely with what he called The Law, the technique of creating one's physical reality through imagining. It is this portion of his expression that most closely accords with the teachings of the New Thought movement. In 1959 he began to experience what he called The Promise. In the latter part of the 1960s and early 1970s Neville gave more emphasis to The Promise than to The Law. One could use imaginal power to change one's circumstances, he said, but it would be temporary, ...and will vanish like smoke. He went on to explain that The Promise superseded The Law, claiming Oh, you can use it [The Law] to make a fortune, to become known in the world, all these things are done, but, your true purpose here is to fulfill Scripture. After subordinating The Law to The Promise, he became as eager to hear accounts by those who had experienced The Promise, and sharing such accounts, as he had earlier of those with The Law.The Power of Awareness attempts to demonstrate how to use our mind to realize our wishes. As such, it is an important part of the larger New Though Movement, in which Neville holds a prominent place.

Neville Goddard wrote his books mostly from the 1940s through the 1960's, always using his first name only--Neville. His books remain popular to this day, due to their timely and powerful messages. In this case, with Awakened Imagination, Neville reveals how one can use their own power to reach goals, no matter how lofty, using a rather simple process. The inner world is the key to achieving outer results if one knows how to use it. Most struggle by battling everything out there in a physical way, trying to force things into existence, with very little mental finesse except for recognizing their desire. Neville reveals how one can use their limitless imagination to create an attractive force that will bring certain things to them, rather than them having to fight for it with less chance of success. Using the wisdom of the Bible and the works of the mystic William Blake to back up his system, one receives not only proof, but encouragement, to delve into one's inner world to achieve the outer results one seeks. He details how happiness actually works, and thereby allows us to work to achieve happiness. This powerful little book is well worth your attention if things have not worked out perfectly in life, but you still know that whatever is missing can truly be achieved. This book is a great tool for finding a better way that actually works.
Neville was born in Barbados, West Indies in 1905 into a poor English family-nine boys and one girl-where he was raised and educated in a traditional Christian manner. His father who knew about the power of imagining, along with the help of his industrious sons, made the Goddard's into the largest business presence in the island, and at his death left all ten children independently wealthy.
At age seventeen Neville left Barbados for New York City where he worked in retail for several years until he became a dancer in Broadway shows. This led to a stint in London where he was introduced to metaphysical thought, and upon returning to New York he began to teach the law of imagining in 1938 to ever-growing audiences in the East, Los Angeles and San Francisco. When he moved his family to Los Angeles in the early 1950s he was attracting crowds of 2,000 for his Sunday talks. Everyone wanted something-homes, new jobs, mates, money-and he successfully taught them how to fulfill those desires through the use of their all-powerful human imaginations. The techniques, testimonies from his audiences, the creative formula, visions, dreams and Bible interpretations are discussed simply and in detail in these lectures. They encourage any seeker to apply his or her imagination for success, and ultimately lead to the appreciation that there is no intermediary between God (man's I AM) and man.
Starting in 1959 he had a series of six visions over a three and a half year period-resurrection/birth from above; David; splitting of the temple/ascension; and the dove's descent. Then he understood his mission: To first experience these visions, understand their meanings, and then teach the meaning of these signs that are given to man after multiple lifetimes and all states of consciousness have been played by each individual. These signs confirm the awakening of man's soul. Man's origin and destiny are divine-from unity into diversity back to unity, with no loss of individuality. All is forgiven and the exile, the prodigal returns to Lordship, greatly expanded by the journey through limitation, illusion and a sleep likened unto death.
Neville Goddard wrote mostly from the 1940's through the 1960's, always using his first name only - Neville. His books are still highly sought after today. This book reveals the important spiritual messages that can be found in the major stories of the Bible. According to Neville, these Bible stories are not historical. If understood correctly, they are meant as tools for the inner transformation of the reader. The Bible is first and foremost a religious book, so it makes sense that its stories would have the purpose of providing spiritual growth and transformation. Neville is a master at interpreting biblical symbolism and explains it in a way that allows us to see the Bible in a whole new light - and possibly the way it was intended. The Bible was meant to teach and to empower the individual. Whether it is real history or not - or a combination of both - Neville brings out the full potential of the stories. They are revealed as powerful teaching mechanisms, which many have experienced with great satisfaction. Reading this book may shift your understanding of the Bible and more importantly, of yourself.
