Love this book. It is a metaphysical interpretation of the bible. If you are among the ones who believe that there is a silver thread of common spiritual truth among all religions, and you like thinkers who offer these kinds of broader perspectives, you'll like this. Neville offers that the bible was never meant to be taken literally, but instead that it is a symbolic/mystical psychodrama that serves to teach higher universal truths.

“La Fe del Hombre en Dios se mide por su confianza en sí mismo”.
Se llega a Neville Goddard -inevitablemente- cuando se está entrando en la llamada Ley de la atracción. Entonces uno se encuentra con los gurús, los youtubers y cuanto sitio exista en internet, transfiriendo el conocimiento de dicha ley universal, y las enseñanzas de Neville son expuestas como una técnica o tip a poner en práctica.
Neville Goddard busca a través de sus enseñanzas que las personas consigan lo que quieren por medio de una filosofía de auto empoderamiento, en la cual, alcanzar el deseo está en el individuo, en su consciencia de Yo Soy. Está en ser consciente de que lo que se quiere ya es o está (la creación está terminada y todas las posibilidades ya existen) y lo único que falta es manifestarlo, lo cual se logra siendo consiente de que Yo Soy eso que quiero, porque Yo soy creador y esa posibilidad ya existe. Yo Soy puede tener lo que quiere y manifiesta la posibilidad que él, Yo Soy, escoge dentro del abanico de posibilidades. Aún cuando se esté buscando manifestar lo que se quiere, Neville no habla de ley de atracción, porque sí pensamos en “atraer” es como buscar algo que no tenemos y está afuera; Neville dice que está adentro y está en ser conscientes de ser “eso” para manifestar, o sea, yo ya lo tengo yo ya soy eso que quiero, no hay nada afuera y eso es lo que se conoce como Ley de la conciencia o ley de la asunción.
“Todo lo que se te pide, es que aceptes tu deseo. Si te atreves a reclamarlo, lo expresarás”.
“Todo hombre expresa automáticamente aquello de lo que él es consciente de ser”.
Tu fe es tu fortuna, es un libro corto en donde el autor hace su propia interpretación de la Biblia, revelando el significado místico de algunos de sus pasajes y hechos clave incluidos en las sagradas escrituras. Para él, la Biblia muestra diferentes estados de conciencia y las historias que allí se describen son los diferentes dramas psicológicos del hombre.
…”Los escritores de nuestros libros sagrados fueron místicos iluminados, antiguos maestros en el arte de la Psicología”.
“Cuando el hombre ve la Biblia como un gran drama psicológico, con todos sus personajes y actores como la personificación de las cualidades y atributos de su propia conciencia, entonces y solo entonces, la Biblia le revelará la luz de su simbología”.
De las interpretaciones que hace Neville, unas me han parecido reveladoras, como son la del génesis, la circuncisión, los estados de consciencia que representan los apóstoles y la historia de Josué conquistando Jericó; y otras, un poco forzadas. No me queda claro si Neville cree que Jesucristo existió como ser humano o que es solo una metáfora o un símbolo de la Biblia para expresar ese estado de consciencia.
“Este Señor Dios, creador del cielo y de la tierra, se descubre que es la conciencia del hombre”.
Tu fe es tu fortuna es mi primer contacto con Neville Goddard. No me parece un autor fácil de leer, el lenguaje me parece lejano y cifrado. Sin embargo, Neville me motiva porque te muestra qué eres y qué puedes alcanzar, porque me muestra que eso que yo llamo sorpresa siempre ha estado ahí y probablemente yo ya lo sabía. Y aún cuando estudiemos a Neville Goddard para aprender a conseguir lo que queremos, lo que más aporta el autor es expansión de la conciencia de lo que somos.
Seguiré leyendo a Neville. Más allá de las creencias me parece como primero un buen ejercicio académico y de abrir la mente. Aun cuando mi ritualidad está en el catolicismo, no me sentí agredida por el contenido del libro, no obstante, no lo recomiendo cuando las creencias religiosas están muy arraigadas.

Tops all previous works of Neville Goddard I've read so far.
By far the most powerful and eye opening work of Neville Goddard I've been guided to read. So much so that at times I literally had to put it down and walk away just to digest it. I understand and even teach co-creation process, but the metaphysical interpretations of Biblical passages that relate to the self really pull back the curtain even farther. If you want to really feel truth, and you think you're ready, read this!

"Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live. Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change."
Was going to put his collection of 10 books on my Xmas list, then realized, it's 19 bucks, treat yourself.
This was really great (and also really out there) , totally my shit.

The basic premise and topic are on point. A few of the stories or side topics did not register with me. They felt a little like ravings. I truly enjoy the message Neville Goddard typically communicates and I agree very much with the base message. I just felt sidetracked by a couple of the chapters.

My all time favourite. I can listen to this audiobook every day and still learn new things each day. To the new readers and listeners, before picking up this book be receptive and open to new ideas and conceptions of reality. There are many things beyond the conceptions of the human mind. Believe that and then pick up this book to read.

Neville's explanation of prayer as the spiritual art and science of conscious manifestation is remarkable. One of the best explanations of prayer I have ever read. Prayer works through assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled and the continuation of the feeling that it is fulfilled (seeing the end in the beginning) until that which you feel objectifies itself. Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and live in the state of thanksgiving. Say throughout the day over and over again to yourself: “Thank you, Father...” and hold the vision of your wish fulfilled inside your heart.
Believe, see and feel it until it becomes your living reality. Believing is seeing. Step into the reality of your wish fulfilled, claim and embrace it in the here and now. Live and act in harmony with it. Embody it. Be it. And then surrender to God (your “Higher Self” or “Overself”) and let go. Letting go is a very important key because you don't need to seek and chase, desire and want something that is already yours. As the Sufi mystic and poet Rumi says: “What you seek is seeking you” and Jesus “Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and all things shall be added unto you.” Seek first the Divine Source and all the love and beauty, all the goodness and blessings of heaven and earth flow to you with ease and grace. The Divine Source is the Source of every true and deep wish of the heart and the Source of your wish fulfilled. Trust it. Surrender to it. Live your life close and in harmony with the Divine as much as possible (Remember and resonate with the Highest Truth as Shaikh Kabir Helminski says) and the Divine will help you with the fulfillment of your wish.
“When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. — Matt. 6:6.
What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. — Mark 11:24.
Prayer is the most wonderful experience man can have. Unlike the daily murmurings of the vast majority of mankind in all lands who by their vain repetitions hope to gain the ear of God, prayer is the ecstasy of a spiritual wedding taking place in the deep, silent stillness of consciousness. In its true sense prayer is God's marriage ceremony. Just as a maid on her wedding day relinquishes the name of her family to assume the name of her husband, in like manner, one who prays must relinquish his present name or nature and assume the nature of that for which he prays. The gospels have clearly instructed man as to the performance of this ceremony in the following manner: "When ye pray go within in secret and shut the door and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." The going within is the entering of the bridal chamber. Just as no one but the bride and groom are permitted to enter so holy a room as the bridal suite on the night of the marriage ceremony, likewise no one but the one who prays and that for which he prays are permitted to enter the holy hour of prayer.
As the bride and groom on entering the bridal suite securely shut the door against the outside world, so too must the one who enters the holy hour of prayer close the door of the senses and entirely shut out the world round about him. This is accomplished by taking the attention completely away from all things other than that with which you are now in love (the thing desired). The second phase of this spiritual ceremony is defined in these words, "When ye pray believe that ye receive, and ye shall receive." As you joyfully contemplate being and possessing that which you desire to be and to have, you have taken this second step and are therefore spiritually performing the acts of marriage and generation.
Your receptive attitude of mind while praying or contemplating can be likened to a bride or womb for it is that aspect of mind which receives the impressions. That which you contemplate being is the groom, for it is the name or nature you assume and therefore is that which leaves its impregnation; so one dies to maidenhood or present nature as one assumes the name and nature of the impregnation. Lost in contemplation and having assumed the name and nature of the thing contemplated, your whole being thrills with the joy of being it. This thrill which runs through your entire being as you appropriate the consciousness of your desire is the proof that you are both married and impregnated. As you return from this silent meditation, the door is once more opened upon the world you had left behind.
But this time you return as a pregnant bride. You enter the world a changed being and, although no one but you knows of this wonderful romance, the world will in a very short while see the signs of your pregnancy, for you will begin to express that which you in your hour of silence felt yourself to be. The mother of the world or bride of the Lord is purposely called Mary, or water, for water loses its identity as it assumes the nature of that with which it is mixed; likewise, Mary, the receptive attitude of mind, must lose its identity as it assumes the nature of the thing desired. Only as one is willing to give up his present limitations and identity can he become that which he desires to be. Prayer is the formula by which such divorces and marriages are accomplished.
"Two shall agree as touching anything and it shall be established on earth." The two agreeing are you, the bride, and the thing desired, the groom. As this agreement is accomplished a son bearing witness of this union will be born. You begin to express and possess that which you are conscious of being. Praying, then, is recognizing yourself to be that which you desire to be rather than begging God for that which you desire. Millions of prayers are daily unanswered because man prays to a God who does not exist. Consciousness being God, one must seek in consciousness for the thing desired by assuming the consciousness of the quality desired.
Only as one does this will his prayers be answered. To be conscious of being poor while praying for riches is to be rewarded with that which you are conscious of being, namely, poverty. Prayers to be successful must be claimed and appropriated. Assume the positive consciousness of the thing desired. With your desire defined, quietly go within and shut the door behind you. Lose yourself in your desire; feel yourself to be one with it; remain in this fixation until you have absorbed the life and name by claiming and feeling yourself to be and to have that which you desired. When you emerge from the hour of prayer you must do so conscious of being and possessing that which you heretofore desired.”

I found this to be a unique book, since it seems to be a mix of Eastern philosophy (Advaita Vedanta, Monism), and American "New Thought". It was also written in the 1940's, which means it was before much was known of these thought systems in any case. It contains some excellent pointers and scriptural interpretations related to the idea that 'consciousness' or 'awareness' is all (and God). It is way ahead of its time in terms of this idea and the way it is explained. HOWEVER, this knowledge is then distorted due to the influence of "New Thought", which exhorts readers to then go about and "manifest your desire". If the reader had truly realized his/herself as just consciousness or pure awareness, wouldn't that also exclude the use of 'desire' and any apparent individual who had 'needs' to manifest? Why would the use of imagination even be necessary?
Hence, it is a mixture of genius on the one hand, and nonsense on the other. Recommended as probably one of the better "new thought" type books one could find.

In this little book Neville expounds the same valuable truths as usual - imagine your wish fulfilled and you will obtain your desires. I.e. while in a meditative state visualize your desires and feel the feelings you would feel were your desires actually fulfilled.
He sees the Bible as "a great psychological drama with all of its characters and actions as the personified qualities and attributes of his own consciousness" and amongst other things interprets Jesus' twelve disciples as representing "the twelve qualities of mind which can be controlled and disciplined by man."
If you are not particularly religiously inclined, the frequent references to the Bible may be somewhat offputting. But there is no denying the inherent truth of Neville's message.

"Scientifically, man might be inclined to
discard the whole Bible as untrue because
his reason will not permit him to believe that the virgin birth is physiologically possible, but the Bible is a message of the soul and must be interpreted psychologically if man is to discover its true symbology. Man must see this story as a psychological drama rather than a statement of physical fact. In so doing he will discover the Bible to be based on a law which if self-applied will result in a manifested expression transcending his wildest dreams of accomplishment. To apply this law of self-expression, man must be schooled in the belief and disciplined to stand upon the platform that "all things are possible to God.""

End of Week 32: Book 32 Completed: Your Faith is Your Fortune – Neville Goddard #myread4change #read2lead #read4life
Man’s faith in God is measured by his confidence in himself.
Your faith is your fortune discuss the man’s power of decreeing his fate and nothing has ever appeared in man’s world but he decreed that it should.
The book explains few verses from Bible and Author connects them with our day to day life, our problem, why we don't succeed many times at what we aspire to be or have and how to change that for good.
Few Key points from the book –
• If man would give up his belief in a God apart from himself, recognize his awareness of being to be God (this awareness fashions itself in the likeness and image of its conception of itself), he would transform his world from a barren waste to a fertile field of his own liking. The law of consciousness is the only law of expression.
• Man must know that his awareness of being is God. Until this is firmly established so that no suggestion or argument of others can shake him, he will find himself returning to the slavery of his former belief.
Few Quotes from the Book –
• A conviction is not a conviction if it can be shaken. Your desire will be as clouds without rain unless you believe.
• Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change.
• Jesus found God to be His awareness of being and so told man that the Kingdom of God and Heaven were within.

This is my second book that I have read by Neville Goddard and I absolutely loved it. I see that these books are categorized under Christianity, but my main motive behind reading this was to know and learn more about manifestations. The book explains very well, that whatever any individual has set to achieve or set as aim can be easily manifested if persisted long enough with with strong and true belief. The author also explains it very well that whatever is currently happening or is objectified is nothing but a manifestation of your earlier thoughts or self concept. I think the author gives a good deal of importance to self concept of an individual which manifests in his surroundings as well. For me personally, I think it was very important to understand the importance of self concept in manifestations. The author also provides 12 disciplines of mind which when mastered can be used for manifestation and fulfilling all desires which I believe is pretty handy.
If you love manifestations, mystic powers, God and yourself this book is totally worth a read.

Really need to take your time with these texts to really digest it.
Nearest to Rising or Retiring would be best to read it.
Will definitely be revisiting this book again as I have found after reading it that in certain parts I rushed through to make sure I got through the entirety of the book. And I did, and from every battle we evolve and we learn and we live and we laugh. I am greatful for all that I see and all those here with us cause what else do we have besides ourselves and each other? :P
Your faith is your fortune.
Feel it, Let it go, and go about your day.
Meditative/Prayer like states may help us to get into deeper states of mind, in which the mind, with and the body relaxed, may be more receptive to really feeling it. The book touched on it briefly but didn't go too in on it.
Gratitude is key.
Nearest to Rising or Retiring would be best to read it.
Will definitely be revisiting this book again as I have found after reading it that in certain parts I rushed through to make sure I got through the entirety of the book. And I did, and from every battle we evolve and we learn and we live and we laugh. I am greatful for all that I see and all those here with us cause what else do we have besides ourselves and each other? :P
Your faith is your fortune.
Feel it, Let it go, and go about your day.
Meditative/Prayer like states may help us to get into deeper states of mind, in which the mind, with and the body relaxed, may be more receptive to really feeling it. The book touched on it briefly but didn't go too in on it.
Gratitude is key.

I picked this book up after listening to a great lecture by Neville Goddard along the lines of "Don't Work" a powerful treatise on Faith-- it was as if someone like Alan Watts peered in to western christianity rather than eastern philosophy.
Unfortunately the captivating interpretation of the Bible and christian concepts in a long form peice turned out to be a mess. It wasn't very good.
There are certain ways in which Neville Goddard can talk about Theological concepts with an engaging way, however his ambition to reinterpret the entire bible as a "Psychological Text" taken to the absolute degree ands up with him trying to interpret things that need not be interpreted.
It becomes mystical and maddening akin to something like Jungian symbolic analysis. Some of his essay on youtube are very good though.

I feel like in this volume, Neville's intention was to use as many analogies as possible to convey one simple message: conciousness becomes reality. While I do appreciate the complete lack of "success stories" and the multitude of analogies, I found this book particularly boring and hard to read. I just don't resonate with using biblical stories to try to make them fit into a meaning I want them to have.
While I do recomend the chapters on Interval of time and Breath of Life, I found the rest boring, repetitive or just plain weird. But then again, I guess the point is to provide as many different explanations as possible so that everyone finds at least one thing that resonates with them and apply it.

Oh okay so this was written a while ago just reprinted, terrible writing hypocritical about his back between facts with a believing in a Divine entity and saying that you are the God within, misinterpreting the judeo Christian calendar, seemingly nitpicking information and reinterpreting it, which is something I guess the big thing a guy in from this is the appreciation of clear concise communication and authors that don't try to make their words sound pretty and actually focus on the content being related.

The best book I’ve ever read. It makes the Bible fresh and alive again. It gives so much hope to the reader that we can still live out our dreams, and that life can be beautiful and miraculous. To the western mind, this sounds too good to be true, but hasn’t the western mind taken the enlightenment way too far, and lost touch with mythology and magic? The magic is absolutely real. It comes alive on every page of this book.

Your Faith is Your Fortune by Neville Goddard is a timeless spiritual classic that delves into the power of faith and imagination in shaping reality. Originally published in 1941, this book is a cornerstone of Goddard's teachings, which center on the concept that the human imagination is God and that faith is the key to manifesting desires in one's life. Goddard’s work is often associated with the New Thought movement and remains influential in the realms of metaphysics and self-improvement.

Law of conciousness is the way of i am
To remove the manifestation is to go away of contempt of iam
You’re awareness be still and feel god so there is only one god wich is i am
You should lift yourself to the conciousness and dwell upon God
To have self esteem is to be one with God
Heaven should be the conciousness
You’re claim is written as it what it you think it should be
12 disciples represent the 12 disciplined state of mind

This is a great interpretation of the Bible. It takes it from the religion that you were taught. I.E. God is a man in the clouds that will punish you for doing wrong and let you go to heaven if you’re good, to a spiritual interpretation. That the kingdom of heaven (God) is within you (your consciousness). It’s a good read!

Jackhammer
In my opinion, this is Neville's best work. He finds many ways to reiterate the main point, almost as if he's jackhammering your brain. I find this to be very effective for memorizing all the nuances of the law. If you want to know the law, this is the only book you need.

Not the best to mix Christianity and New Age
I liked the book enough. Just don't think Christianity mixes well with New Thought. I see the point, they are both basically the same, just inside out. Saying we're basically God within most likely gives the scriptural Christians the jitters.

science of mind take on manifestation as shown through bible stories
The routes of Science of Mind as seen in this tearly 20th century book empower us today as a road map to live life as you imagine, see, and feel it. I love these ideas and can overlook the old-fashioned language in favor of the inspiring power of what is being said.
