Neville Goddard State Akin To Sleep

The State Akin To Sleep is a term pioneered by Neville Goddard.I believe Neville coined the phrase “State Akin to Sleep”(SAT) because it was the simplest way to describe the hypnotic state to people of his era.

Nowadays  there is wider knowledge of the means for self-induced hypnotic states such as meditation, self hypnosis, and progressive relaxation.The Betty Erickson 123 method is one such method I’ve employed with great success.

Now falling asleep at bedtime to the wish fulfilled while in the pre-sleep state is ideal, but Neville himself mentioned going into a similar state while seated in an armchair, presumably during normal waking hours. To do SATs correctly  all that is necessary is to learn and practice meditation, or self hypnosis, or progressive relaxation, and/or a combination of all 3.

Simple but extremely powerful by applying this process one is able to tap into the limitless power of the subconscious mind The Infographic below simplifies this often misunderstood concept.

State Akin To Sleep By Neville Goddard. This secret was taught by the ancient seers and mystics who by revelation discovered that your Imagination Creates Your Reality.

Michael Sutherland

Michael Sutherland is the founder of TrueCosmic and a devoted student and practitioner of Neville Goddard teachings. His path to this work was not academic — it was forged in crisis. Raised as a devout Jehovah Witness and Baptist, Michael walked away from the church at eighteen and spent the next 25 years in what scripture calls the far country — the prodigal son, wandering. He built a life by the world rules, searching without knowing what he was searching for. When the biggest crisis of his life arrived, he turned back — not to the church, but to scripture itself. Through Neville Goddard teachings he found what the church had never shown him: that the God of scripture is not an external being to be feared and appeased. God is your own awareness. Your own consciousness. Your own imagination. The I AM within. What he discovered was not a set of Neville Goddard principles — these are cosmic laws, written about not only in the Bible but across every ancient spiritual tradition the world over. The same truth, expressed in different language, in every age. The law of consciousness operates whether we are aware of it or not. We are manifesting constantly — the wanted and the unwanted alike. Understanding how this law works allows us to work with it consciously and intentionally, directing it toward the experiences we actually desire rather than the ones our unexamined assumptions are silently producing. In 2017, guided by two mentors — Dr Bruno R Cignacco and Roupa Jetto, a hypnotherapist and Buddhist practitioner — Michael had his first transcendent experience during deep meditation. In 2018 came something he could never have sought or engineered: what is described across traditions as a Kundalini awakening. A sound like rushing wind in both ears. An electrical current rising from the base of the spine, so intense it seemed impossible to survive. Every experience that followed — out of body states, movement along the spinal cord, sensations inside the skull — was documented in scripture, passage by passage, hidden in plain sight. This is not something that can be earned or manufactured. It is grace. According to scripture, it is every soul birthright — every one of us will experience this unfolding, in this lifetime or another. Michael does not share this to define himself above anyone else. He shares it because it confirmed, beyond any doubt, that what Neville Goddard taught is true — and because that confirmation is the foundation on which TrueCosmic was built. TrueCosmic today is home to the most comprehensive Neville Goddard library available online — 292 lectures — alongside an academy of courses, masterclasses and workshops, and 13 specialist coaches serving students across every continent. At its heart is a global community of over 92,000 members, all discovering what happens when you begin to work consciously with the law that was always operating anyway. The invitation is simple: become aware of the law. Understand how it works. And begin, deliberately, to use it.
