Biography of Neville Goddard - Wikipedia
From Wikipedia.org:
Biography:
Neville Lancelot Goddard was born on 19 February 1905 in St. Michael, Barbados in the
British West Indies, to [J oseph Nathaniel Goddard (a merchant) and [Wilhelmina Nee
Hinkinson; Neville was their fourth child in a family of nine boys and one girl.
He came to the United States on board the S.S. Vasari to study drama at the age of seventeen
(September 1922) and whilst touring with his dance company in England he developed an
interest in metaphysics, after striking up a conversation with a Scotsman who lent him a series
of books on the powers of the mind. On his return he gave up the entertainment industry to
devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters.
His interest deepened after he met Abdullah, who lectured on Esoteric Christianity.
Neville went to hear Abdullah, somewhat under protest to satisfy the constant urging of a
friend. Neville said, 'I recall the first night I met Abdullah. I had purposely delayed going to one
of his meetings because a man whose judgment I did not trust had insisted on my attendance.
At the end of the meeting, Ab approached me and said: "Neville, you are six months late."
Startled, I questioned how he knew my name, when he said: "The brothers told me you would
be here six months ago." Then he added: "I will remain until you have received all that I must
give you. Then I will depart." He, too, may have longed to go, but he had to wait for me.'
From this introduction, Neville studied with Abdullah learning Hebrew, the Kabbalah, and the
hidden symbolic meaning of Scripture.
After travelling extensively throughout the United States, Neville eventually made his home in
Los Angeles where, in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio, and for many
years lectured regularly to capacity audiences at the Wilshire Ebell Theater. In the 1960s and
early 1970s, he confined most of his lectures to Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.
In his early lectures and books, Neville dealt solely with what he called The Law, the technique
of creating one's physical reality through imagining. It is this portion of his expression that most
closely accords with the teachings of the 'so called' New Thought movement.
In describing The Law, Neville related how he made a sea voyage from New York to see his
family in Barbados during the Depression, without any money of his own.
He related how, by the use of imaginal power, he was honorably discharged from military
service to continue his lectures during World War II]. He gave his audiences in San Francisco
in the 1950s and 1960s accounts of how others had made use of The Law. He discussed it on
television in the Los Angeles area, saying, "Learn how to use your imaginal power, lovingly, on
3

behalf of others, for Man is moving into a world where everything is subject to his imaginal
power."
In the year 1959, he began to experience what he called "The Promise." He later wrote, "I did
not know of The Promise until I began to experience it and have it unfold within me beginning
that summer and continuing during the next three-and-one-half years. And this is Scriptural;
read it in the Book of Daniel where it is referred to as a time, times, and a half.' It comes to
1260 days in your experience of it."
In the latter part of the 1960s and early 1970s Neville gave more emphasis to The Promise than
to The Law. One could use imaginal power to change one's circumstances, he said, but it would
be temporary, ...and will vanish like smoke. He went on to explain that The Promise
superseded The Law, claiming "Oh, you can use it [The Law] to make a fortune, to become
known in the world, all these things are done, but, your true purpose here is to fulfill Scripture."
After subordinating The Law to The Promise, he became as eager to hear accounts by those
who had experienced The Promise, and sharing such accounts, as he had earlier of those with
The Law.
In the last years of his life he said, "I know my time is short. I have finished the work I have
been sent to do and I am now eager to depart. I know I will not appear in this three-dimensional
world again for The Promise has been fulfilled in me. As for where I go, I will know you there
as I have known you here, for we are all brothers, infinitely in love with each other."
Neville's theological view of The Promise includes both the cosmology of union with the
Godhead after death, and future restoration for those who do not accept The Promise during
their lives. Of The Promise, he said he said "You do not earn it; it is a gift, it is all grace. God's
promise is unconditional; God's law is conditional. and comes in its own good time. If you do
not experience it in this life, he said, "You pass through a door, that's all that death is, and --
you are restored to life instantly in a world like this, just this world" [and] you go on there with
the same problems you had here with no loss of identity not old, not blind, not crippled, if you
depart this life that way, but young." In this restorationist afterlife, he said of people there,
"They grow, and they marry, and they die there, too, with all the fear of death that we have
here. And if they die there without experiencing The Promise, they are restored to life again and
again in a place best suited to the work yet to be done in them. And it continues until 'Christ be
formed in You' and as 'Sons of The Resurrection' you leave this world of death never to enter it
again."
In response to questions about the fear of eternal hell and damnation that many have, Neville
replied with a quote from Scripture, "Not one shall be lost in all my holy mountain. You are
God and how could God eternally condemn Himself?" Until we awaken and make this
discovery, he said, we are privileged to use a Law, given by God, to "cushion the blows of life.
The Law, stated succinctly is this, In Neville's words: "[Imagining creates reality],"
Neville Goddard died at the age of 67 on October 1, 1972, in Los Angeles. His work is being
preserved on the internet.
