Feeling is the Secret

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.

Feeling is the Secret conveys its teaching in four short chapters: the subconscious is the womb of all creation, it can only be reached through feeling, and there are two natural gateways into it – sleep and prayer. Goddard draws on scripture throughout, as is his custom, but here it is his treatment of sleep that proves most distinctive. The moments just before you drop off to sleep are, for Goddard, among the most creative of your entire day – as you drift toward sleep, the conscious and subconscious draw close and become, as he puts it, “one flesh.” The feeling you carry into that threshold is the seed planted in the deepest soil of your being. Brief, intimate, and immediately practical, this is a book that will change how you approach the end of every day.
