Awakened Imagination - Goddard, Neville

. .

Résumé :
An awakened imagination works with a purpose. It creates and conserves the desirable, and transforms or destroys the undesirable.-Neville Goddard In Awakened Imagination, Neville expounds upon his belief that Christ is within each of us and can help us achieve our desires through imaginative effort. Using short quotations from the Bible and from Blake, Yeats, Emerson, Lawrence, Quintilian, Hermes and the Hermetic, Neville reveals the power that makes the achievement of aims, the attainment of desires, inevitable; showing that the Christ is the human imagination. I want this book to be the simplest, clearest, frankest work I have the power to make it. Truth depends upon the intensity of the imagination, not upon external facts. Facts are the fruit bearing witness of the use or misuse of the imagination. Man becomes what he imagines. He has a self-determined history. Imagination is the way, the truth, the life revealed.-Neville Goddard.
