What is consciousness?
Consciousness is the ability to be aware of oneself and one’s surroundings. I know that I am me, and you know that you are you. In “The Power of Awareness” Neville Goddard emphasizes how the things you experience in your outer world reflect the state of your inner world. You can transform your reality when you are conscious of your beliefs, assumptions, and attitudes.
I’ve written an eBook that goes into depth of the Law of Correspondence as well as the other universal laws. If you’re interested in learning more about how our outer world is a reflection of our inner world then you may very well benefit from downloading manifestation IS faith!
Neville Goddard’s entire teaching stems around thoughts being creative forces that shape the reality we experience. The strongest beliefs that we hold about ourselves, as well as the beliefs we hold about society are seeds that manifest in our physical reality.
Where did Neville Goddard Learn this Information?
Like all of us, Neville Goddard compiled information from diverse sources. He studied mystical teachings, philosophical texts, and he had his personal experiences. One of his teachers was named Abdullah. He was an Ethiopian rabbi known for his deep spiritual wisdom and teachings. You can read more about Abdullah here.
A fundamental point of the book, “The Power of Awareness”
Neville Goodard states that awareness precedes manifestation. For a desired outcome to materialize one must first be aware of the desire that we have within ourselves. It sounds amazing right? It is. It’s powerful! One may read this and say, ‘My desires don’t manifest.’ Everything that we focus on manifests in some way. If you’re focusing on how ‘it’s always something’ then that is the desire of your heart, therefore, it is always something.
The Power of Awareness: Imagination and the Law of Attraction
People all over the world have sung the praises of deliberate thinking. It’s time to get off of autopilot and live your life! People have manifested career opportunities, fulfilling relationships, and peace of mind. Your power is in your consciousness. To be fully conscious means to be aware of your present moment. Not future moments, not past moments, but right here, right now.
But wait, isn’t visualization thinking about the future?
Being in the present moment allows you to focus on situations that are in the future from a place of wisdom and creativity, as opposed from a place of worry and anxiety.
The Power of Words
The way you speak about yourself and your life is important. The words you speak can reinforce crippling beliefs or affirm your desired outcome. The way you speak to yourself, and to others is a powerful tool. Consciously choose your words. Speak from a place of empowerment. Harness the power of your tongue.
Self Talk
Remember the world we live in. Radio waves are broadcast throughout the world at rapid speeds. They not only penetrate your cellphone and TV, but they also penetrate through YOU! Your body interprets. It can interpret the radio waves that travel through the sky. Those wild, crazy, annoying, angry, negative, lustful thoughts that you have, literally may not even be your own. This is why I encourage you to have a shield of protection around you. I’ve found that a great shield is simply being in the present moment. We actually go into more detail of this in the freebie Aligned & Anointed!
When I was a Christian I learned how to put on a spiritual armor. The helmet of salvation is used to block thoughts that aren’t profitable from penetrating into your mind. The shield of faith is used to protect you from what’s false becuase you have EVIDENCE that what you once hoped for manifested into the phyical realm and you know what you desire can manifest again. The sword, the words you speak, can penetrate through time, space, and matter. I’m no longer a Chrisitan, but I still apply this spiritual armor to my life. It’s found in Ephesians 6:10-17 if you’re interested.
Affirmations: Practical Tips for Healthy Self Talk
1. Say your affirmations in the present tense as if they have manifested.
2. Repeat your affirmations regularly.
3. Be specific and clear when writing your affirmations.
4. Know your desired outcome has happened.
5. Express gratitude and appreciation for what’s to come and for what has already come.
6. Only speak of the desired outcome you want.

The Power of Awareness: Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs stem from social conditioning, past experiences, and can even be self-perceived. Neville Goddard encourages individuals to identify the limiting beliefs they have so they can overcome them. Actually, this is kind of crucial for tapping into your power. Overcoming limiting beliefs requires self-reflection. Questioning the validity of all that you know to be true. Reframing your beliefs in certain things is actually what empowers you.

Woo Woo for the Win
Some people do not believe in spiritual laws such as the law of attraction, or the power of being in the present moment. They say, ‘expressing your divine nature oversimplifies the complexities of life and ignores systemic factors.’ Some people do not like the idea that individuals alone are responsible for the circumstances they have in life. && expressing your divine nature requires you to accept responsibility. Some people feel they are being blamed as the victim when told to take responsibility for their circumstances in life, but I personally do not view it this way. It’s actually what freed me from my victim mentality.
