Lesson 1: The Secret of Prayer
Hi everyone,
Today I want to talk about the meaning of prayer as explained by Neville Goddard in his lecture, “The Secret of Prayer” (see Neville’s lecture in full at my site at Neville Goddard: The Secret of Prayer — NINA FERREYRA).
In this lecture, Neville tells us, “When you pray you do not prostrate yourself on the ground and look towards some eastern point in space, but adjust yourself mentally into your fulfilled desire.”
Neville is telling us to pray and never lose faith. To keep persisting in the state of your wish already being fulfilled.
Prayer is adjusting your state so that you shift into the state of the wish fulfilled. This is how you should pray.
Know that your desire is already done. It is already accomplished. Think from the state of it already being fulfilled. Once you do that, your desires will manifest.
Neville also tells us “Prayer is motion. It is learning how to move toward a change in your bank balance, your marital status, or social world. Learn to master the art of motion; for after you move, change begins to rise up out of the deep. The technique of prayer is mastering your inner motion.”
How can you do this?
You can travel in your imagination anywhere. Practice moving in your imagination to different locations and experiment with what manifests in this way.
You can pray for another by assuming that they already have what they want so that it can soon manifest into their reality.
Move in your inner world by shifting your state and occupy the state of already having your desire so that it can manifest in the 3D reality.
Neville goes on to say, “Everything and everyone in your world is yourself pushed out. Any request from another - heard by you - should not be ignored; for it is coming from yourself!”
A request made by another is coming from your imagination in order to help you fulfill your own manifestations.
Instead of dwelling on your friend’s problem, all you have to do is hear a new conversation with your friend saying that the problem is now resolved.
Finally, Neville tells us, “A friend recently shared this dream with me: We were in a garden and he told me all of his desires, when I said: "Don't desire them, live them!" This is true. Desire is thinking of! Living is thinking from! Don't go through life desiring. Live your desire. Think it is already fulfilled. Believe it is true; for an assumption, though false, if persisted in will harden into fact.”
This is the key to manifesting!
Don’t desire your manifestations. Don’t want your manifestations. Think of your manifestations as if they are already fulfilled. Act as if they are already fulfilled. Act as if you already have the money you want, the friends you want, the relationship you want, the home you want, or the kind of life you want. You already have them! So don’t want it anymore.
Do not take no for an answer to your request. It is yours.
Keep persisting regardless of what the 3d is showing you.
If you are only thinking of your desire and you are only wishing it was true, then it will not manifest. You need to think from it and act as if you already have it.
When you say “Thank you, Father” you are giving yourself your manifestation and you will know that you already have it.
