Prayer

“You Are What You Believe”

This slender, immensely powerful volume collects two of Neville Goddard’s (1905-1972) most direct statements on using the reality-shaping capacities of your mind: Prayer: The Art of Believing (1945) and The Search (1946).

Both works were written at the peak of the teacher’s career and each is simultaneously visionary and ardently practical.

In Prayer (1945), Neville teaches how to move from the practice of “vain repetitions” to the feeling state or controlled reverie that ensures the arrival of your wishes.

The master mystic describes not only how prayer works but why it works: whatever the psyche believes must correspond to what the seeker experiences in outer life. “Assume the mood of fulfilled desire,” Neville writes, “and by the universal law of reversibility you will realize your desire.”

The art of prayer is simple—yet explosive: “The seemingly harmless habit of ‘talking to yourself’ is the most fruitful form of prayer . . . Man creates himself out of his own imagination.”

In The Search, Neville describes how he came to realize the extraordinary creative powers of the mind—and how these abilities are the birthright of all people. In Neville’s discovery, you may find your own.

This volume also includes fully corrected and updated versions of occult scholar Mitch Horowitz’s biographical essay on Neville, “Chariot of Fire,” and his timeline of Neville’s life.
“In my study of different occult and mystical systems,” Mitch writes, “. . . the most impactful, elegant, simplest, and dramatically powerful figure I have come across is Neville Goddard.”
In the span of a single sitting, this volume can completely reorient and reinvigorate your life.
