Always open to any author with a fresh outlook on how to go about living your best life and Goddard, in his time, had his own way of taking on that task. After listening to his whole oeuvre I think the man makes some pretty untenable and ludicrous claims. A clear advocate of 'manifesting' or the law of assumption: "an assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact": wow, just wow and hell no, absolutely no. Goddard actually believes 'God' to be the human imagination; very William Blake-ean, not at all original. He goes on to interpret the bible as a kind of drama, or personifications of the different states of the human mind. Ok, I get that, that's pretty modern but again not really helpful; the identification with the stories is worthwhile enough. What the works of Goddard did bring me was the introduction to the broader 'New Thought' movement, organised in 1914 into the 'International New Thought Alliance'; a coming together of multiple strings of religious and philosphical thought drawing from various ancient sources in 19th century US. From wikipedia: "The contemporary New Thought movement is a loosely allied group of religious denominations, authors, philosophers, and individuals who share a set of beliefs concerning metaphysics, positive thinking, the law of attraction, healing, life force, creative visualization, and personal power." Very instructive to actually meet the long pedigree of current self-help literature.

““O Lord, Thou art our father, we are the clay, and Thou art our potter; we are all the work of Thy hand.” Isaiah 64:8 This conception of creation as a work of imagination, and the Lord our Father as our imagination, will take us further into the mystery of creation than any other guide. The only reason people do not believe in this identity of God and human imagination is that they are unwilling to assume the responsibility for their frightful misuse of imagination. Divine Imagination has descended to the level of human imagination, that human imagination may ascend to Divine Imagination [...] Imagination is the Real Man and is one with God.”

Can't even describe this one consciousness is explained in the most simple way.(Fascinating and life changing)Revision and SATS are heavily mentioned here.Overall one of the best books that connect LOA to actual life experiences and success storys. Each chapter provides clarified information on conscious creating nothing is confusing.
