With your desire defined, quietly go within and shut the door behind you. Lose yourself in your desire; feel yourself to be one with it; remain in this fixation until you have absorbed the life and name by claiming and feeling yourself to be and to have that which you desired. When you emerge from the hour of prayer you must do so conscious of being and possessing that which you heretofore desired.

Interpretation

What this quote means

This quote emphasizes the importance of clearly defining desires and immersing oneself in the feeling of already possessing them.

Neville Goddard's quote facilitates the idea that one can manifest their desires by first defining them clearly and then emotionally embodying the experience of having those desires. By entering a meditative state, shutting out external distractions, and fully immersing oneself in the feeling of already achieving those goals, an individual can align their consciousness with their aspirations, effectively bringing them into reality. The process of 'prayer' here is about visualizing and feeling oneself deeply connected to their desires, which is considered essential for manifesting them in the physical world.

Most of us are reflecting life and not affecting it. Your inner speech mirrors your mind, and your mind mirrors God. If you_x000D_ do not change your thoughts, you haven't changed their activity. And if_x000D_ you do not change their activity, the conditions of your life cannot_x000D_ change, for they are only bearing witness to the inner action of your_x000D_ mind.
