Neville Goddard’s Manifestation Technique

Here’s a quick description of Neville Goddard’s manifestation technique the Law of Assumption.

It went as follows:

• Accept you are the creator, think of what you desire,
• relax and get yourself into a state close to sleep(SATS),
• assume you already have what you want,
• imagine an event after you receive what you want to manifest,
• keep this mindset always,
• let it go and allow the manifestation to happen.

As mentioned previously this pioneering manifestation technique is still used and taught today. We have a number of articles that go into detail about this immensely powerful method

Predicting His Own Death

Neville Goddard is known to have predicted his own death. He often spoke about how his garment(human form) would end in his 60’s, he died in 1972 at 67.

He was also unafraid of death often saying in his lectures he would not be concerned if he dropped dead right there since he knew he would just be leaving behind this life for another.

He has even been noted to say he is “eager to depart” and that it “will not be very long from now” in the months before his death.
