Unveiling Desires: Neville Goddards Blueprint for Clarity of Desires And Self Awareness

In the tapestry of personal development, the quest for clarity of desire and self-awareness emerges as a vital thread, weaving together the fabric of a purposeful and fulfilling life. The great mystic Neville Goddard, presents a profound roadmap for those seeking to unravel their desires and deepen their self-awareness. Let’s embark on a journey through Goddard’s concepts, exploring how they serve as an effective roadmap towards clarity, self-discovery and manifestations.

Clarity of Desire: Painting the Portrait of Your Wish Fulfilled

Understanding Clarity of Desire

Desires, like stars in the night sky, guide our journey through life. Neville Goddard’s teachings illuminate the path to clarity, encouraging individuals to define and refine their desires with vivid precision. Clarity of desire is not a mere wish; it’s a detailed portrait painted with the brushstrokes of intention and imagination.

Consider this; if your life were a movie and you could see brief 15 second clip of a scene that would imply that your desires were realised, what would this entail? What would you see? Where would you be? What would you say? what would other participants in this scene say to you? These are just some of the questions that Neville suggest we consider when we imagine. The more specificity that you can give to this imaginal scene is the more clarity your giving to you’re desired outcome.

The Power of Assumption in Desires

Neville introduces the concept of assumption as a linchpin in attaining clarity of desire. Assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled involves living in the present as if the desired outcome has already been realized. This assumption, when ingrained in the fabric of our thoughts, inner dialogue and self-concept, becomes a magnetic force, drawing the desired reality closer to our lived experience.

In fact Neville goes on to say that if an assumption is persistent and dominates one’s consciousness, this make the attainment of the goal inevitable. According to the mystic, it is folly for an individual to attempt outer change in their life without first being transformed in the assumptions they hold of themselves.

Navigating the Landscape of Self-Awareness

The Role of Self-Awareness

Self-awareness, a cornerstone of personal growth, is the compass that guides us through the labyrinth of our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Goddard’s teachings invite us to embark on a journey of self-exploration, peeling back the layers of conditioning to reveal the authentic self beneath.

Conscious Examination of Thoughts

” I start to prune the tree, by observing what I’m imagining in the course of a 24 hours, it becomes a habit and the next day I do a little bit better and the third day better still, by the end of the week I’m in the habit of watching what I’m imagining…. and dont wait instantly prune it” NEVILLE GODDARD

Self-awareness begins with the conscious examination of our thoughts. Goddard encourages individuals to become vigilant observers of the internal dialogue, recognizing patterns of limiting beliefs and thought processes that hinder personal growth. This heightened awareness becomes the first step towards transformation. In his famous lecture “Mental Diets“, Neville outlines a specific process that one can employ as a means to transform the inner dialogue, from one that’s self-sabotaging to one of empowerment and transformation.

Techniques for Unveiling Desires

Visualization: A Gateway to Clarity

Visualization, a technique championed by Goddard, is a powerful tool for unveiling desires. It involves creating a mental scene of your wish fulfilled (a short snapshot of your manifestation) and vividly experiencing the emotions associated with success. This practice not only enhances clarity of desire but by creating this short preview of your desired future, it also imprints the vision deep within the subconscious mind.

Your imagination moulds reality and is the instrument for all manifestations. Unlike other self-help teachers, Neville instructs individuals to tap into their innate creative power and shape their future. All desires or states of consciousness already exist in man’s own imagination, we merely have to specify and select the desired state then fusing it with faith it will become a 3 dimensional experience.

The Intersection of Clarity and Self-Awareness

Alignment of Desires and Beliefs

“all transformation begins with an intense burning desire to be transformed” NEVILLE GODDARD

Goddard’s teachings emphasize the importance of aligning desires with beliefs. Clarity of desire, when combined with self-awareness, unveils the beliefs that might be acting as roadblocks. Self-awareness allows us to identify and challenge limiting beliefs, paving the way for a harmonious alignment of thoughts and aspirations.

Revision: Shaping the Narrative

How we think and how we feel creates our state of being. Most people are reinforcing or affirming their state of being by mentally reliving the past, but you can reprogram this through your imagination or more precisely through revision.

The concept of mental revision is instrumental in the intersection of clarity and self-awareness. Neville encourages individuals to revisit past events and revise them in the mind by imbuing them with a new positive experience. This practice not only reshapes the narrative of the past but also influences the present and future, fostering a more empowered self-awareness.

“I firmly believe that if you will wisely and daily use the pruning shears of revision that you will find there is no objective beyond your ability to realise.” Neville Goddard

Embracing Self-Discovery

Letting Go of the Mask

Self-awareness, as Goddard teaches, involves shedding the masks we wear and embracing our authentic selves divine self. The assumptions and roles we’ve played in the past are all only states of consciousness, that pass through on our journey of experience. So as we expand and begin to remember our true identity, we can let go these outdated and undesirable identities. But how is this done?

By exercising our creative talent of imagining. We are God individualised, and through our awareness our I AM ness we can occupy any state that we so choose. After all according to Neville it is to exercise and experience this creative potential, that we came down to this world. Ultimately a promise is made that we shall all return back to our divine source as beautifully illustrated in the parable of the prodigal son.

Assumption as Self-Discovery

Assumption, when applied to self-awareness, becomes a process of self-discovery. It involves assuming the identity and characteristics of the authentic self, transcending societal expectations and past conditioning. This intentional act of assumption unveils the true essence beneath the layers of external influences.
