I Know My Father

An outstanding book by Neville Goddard detailing the law of attraction. Your desires are the invisible realities that respond only to the commands of God. God commands the invisible to appear by claiming himself to be the thing commanded. "He made himself equal with God and found it not robbery to do the works of God."
Neville Goddard came to the United States in 1922 and enjoyed a career in the theater. His interest in mysticism grew as did his esoteric interpretations of the Bible. He studied with a man named Abdullah for many years, learning Hebrew and delving deeply into the hidden symbolic meaning of the Kabbalah and scripture. Neville began lecturing and traveling throughout the United States, making his home In Los Angeles.
Just as Seth gave us the immortal words, “You create your reality,” Neville has told us how with his spectacular phrase, “Imagining creates reality.” What a gift to humankind! He also translates the Bible in a new light, explaining how the stories and parables are psychological dramas representing our consciousness. That all of its characters and actors are personified qualities and attributes of our consciousness.

Neville Lancelot Goddard (1905–1972) was a prominent and highly influential teacher in the New Thought movement, best known for his philosophy on the creative power of the human imagination. Born in St. Michael, Barbados, Goddard moved to New York City in 1922 to study drama. While working as a dancer and actor, his interests shifted toward mysticism after meeting an eccentric Ethiopian rabbi named Abdullah, who mentored him in Kabbalah, esoteric Christianity, and the psychological interpretation of scripture.

Leaving the theater behind, Neville dedicated his life to teaching what he termed "The Law of Assumption"—the principle that one can manifest their desires by vividly assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he taught that the Bible was not a historical record but a psychological drama mapping the evolution of human consciousness, asserting that the divine creator is the human imagination itself.

Throughout the mid-20th century, he delivered hundreds of unscripted lectures across the United States and authored foundational metaphysical classics, including Feeling is the Secret and The Power of Awareness. Today, Goddard’s visionary teachings continue to experience a massive resurgence, profoundly shaping modern self-help, spirituality, and manifestation philosophies.
