Awakened Imagination

Readers drawn to the wisdom in our featured text by Neville Goddard, The Power of Awareness, may wish to explore his wider body of work.

In The Power of Awareness, Goddard teaches that consciousness is the only reality – that the ‘I AM’, your awareness of being, is the sole creative force behind everything you experience. What you persistently assume to be true of yourself and your world becomes fact; and the path to change, therefore, is not outward action but inner assumption.

Awakened Imagination expresses Goddard’s teaching through the identification of imagination with Christ – the proposition that imagination is not merely a faculty of the mind but is the only creative power, the redeemer, the Son of God who sleeps in every person and must be awakened. Steeped in the poetry of William Blake, who appears throughout as a fellow witness to this vision, the book develops three distinctive practices in depth: the art of thinking from the end rather than of it; the discipline of inner speech – the recognition that your unspoken mental conversations are the seeds of your outer world; and the practice of revision, the daily rewriting of events in imagination to change their consequences, which Goddard presents not merely as technique but as the very meaning of forgiveness.
