Prayer: The Art of Believing Reviews

  "Imagination is the beginning of the growth of all forms, and faith is the substance out of which they are formed."
  
  This book is more "technical" and logically focused than Neville's other books. Still, a great read.

  This little book highlights the positive effects prayer has on the subconscious mind and how that impacts the mental state positively. When you pray while certain that what you’re praying for is already yours, you’re automatically setting yourself in the right mental status that will motivate you further to achieve.
  The author explains how prayer is a meditative state in which one can experience mindfulness, which in turn has a lot of benefits psychologically.
  So regardless who you’re praying to or what your religious believes are, prayer has a noticeable positive effect on your mindset.

  How To Pray
  
  In this lecture, Neville explains how prayer works. You must believe you already have what you are praying for. To do this, try to feel it. How would you feel if you already had what you wanted? Try it, and see. Read this for a more detailed explanation. You'll be glad you did!

  Really surprised myself reading a book with this title after how I grew up slanging Watchtowers as a kid. Usually most Christian stuff is a hard pass for me, but Neville Goddard is 🥰

  This is another wonderful little book by Neville, perfectly expressed, in the old-fashioned language of the times he was born into. Sometimes I have to read his sentences several times to fully comprehend them. He is extremely intelligent, deep and logical.
  
  Seemingly all his books have the same important message: when you pray, believe that you already have what you pray for, and feel the feeling you would feel if it were reality. This information is based on the law of reversibility:"If your realized prayer produces in you a definite feeling ----, then, inversely, that particular feeling --- must produce your realized prayer."
  
  The author explains how you can help another by imagining him how you want him to be, as long as the desired state is something he himself would want of another or himself.
  
  Neville, like Joseph Murphy, Catherine Ponder, Joel Goldsmith and probably many others, thus believes it is desirable to help others in this way, while Abraham teaches, as far as I understand, but I may be mistaken, that you should focus on working on your own problems, as it is ultimately ourselves alone who can change our lives.
  
  Neville concludes the book by exhorting us to assume the feeling "I AM Christ", whereafter our whole behaviour will subtly change in accordance therewith.
  
  I strongly recommend this book and all Neville's other works to all those interested in learning how to pray effectively in this way.

  There is a common thread across all of Neville Goddard's books.
  It would be wise to not to try to delve into the work of too many different authors in the realm of this content and instead to find one author and delve into their work so as to really internalize and assimilate their ideas.
  Neville Goddard is a great author for the above case.
  And this book is concise enough to read a couple times and internalize.
  Or just keep going through more of his works.

  His words speak to the soul.
  
  Before you do something, you must believe you can do it.
  
  When you look at someone, you must see yourself in them. You must believe them to be better than they are for that is the way they can recognize that they are better than they are.

  I was swept away by Neville Goddard's biblical exploration of prayer as a practise in law of attraction.
  
  I enjoyed his writing and marvelled at this thoughts based on his study of the word (bible). I really love his explanation that the art of believing in what we pray for is in our feeling, our ability to rejoice for the thing in question as to create and actualize it in reality.
  
  Short read but very powerful.
  
  There is something about this book that my soul knows to be true.

  Powerful and transformative
  
  This is a profoundly enlightening little book; giving a different view of reality by showing the spiritual ongoing creation of the world. "Presto manifesto!" explained. Highly recommended for those trying to understand how prayer works and why it is so necessary.
