Whenever your feeling is in conflict with your wish, feeling will be the victor.

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.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Your thoughts shape your reality, and changing them is essential for changing your life.
This quote emphasizes the profound impact of our inner thoughts on our external reality. Neville Goddard suggests that by merely reflecting on life instead of actively affecting it, we remain passive in our experiences. Our thoughts and inner dialogue are powerful forces that reflect our relationship with the divine. Therefore, to truly transform our lives and circumstances, we must consciously change our thinking patterns to influence the activities of our minds, ultimately changing our life conditions.

My dog does not care where heat comes from, but he cares that it comes, and soon. Indeed he considers my ability to make it come as something magical, for when I rise in the coal black pre-dawn and kneel by the hearth to make a fire, he pushes himself blandly between me and the kindling splits I have laid in the ashes, and I must touch a match to them by poking it between his legs. Such faith , I suppose, is the kind that moves mountains.
