Neville Goddard is widely considered one of the greatest Law of Attraction teachers of all time. Born in Barbados, Neville spent his lifetime teaching Law of Attraction techniques that produce results – everything from manifesting money to attracting a specific person.
Neville's teachings live on today through his lectures and books. The Neville Reader is widely considered the most complete collection of his teachings.
Throughout his teachings, Neville Goddard focused on manifesting money and the things you can do with it. Many stories from his personal experience and those of people who follow his teachings relate how things appear magically. Whether it's free trips to jobs to cash, there's a success story.
I've selected some of my favorite Neville Goddard quotes on manifesting money to help you learn from his teachings. Let me know what you think about them in the comments below.
“As I have said repeatedly, everything depends upon our attitude towards ourselves. That which we will not affirm as true of ourselves cannot develop in our life.
“Dr. Millikan wrote his dream of greatness and security in the first person, present tense. He did not say, ‘I will be great; I will be secure,' for that would have implied that he was not great and secure.
“Instead, he made his future dream a present fact. ‘I have,' said he, ‘a lavish, steady, dependable income, consistent with integrity and mutual benefit.'”
“Now let me share a letter from a friend. She said: “I am a freelance designer. I never seek work, but as I sit at home and imagine I am working, they call. In the past six months I have received very few orders from a company that kept me very busy in the past, so I called them to discover that they had employed a full-time art director and would no longer require my services. After hanging up the phone I revised this conversation. I heard them tell me they had lots of work for me, and I felt the thrill in their words. One week later they called, asking me to design a 26-page book of institutional advertising, plus four ads for Harper’s Bazaar. – This was more then they had given me in the past at any one time. Now I am busier, happier, and making more money than ever before, and my technique is simple. Sitting in my chair I quietly listen for the phone to ring, answer it in my imagination and hear the orders I desire to create – and they come.”
“Ask yourself how you would feel and what you would be doing if your business venture were a great success. Become identified with that character and feeling and you will be amazed how quickly you will realize your dream. The only sacrifice you are called upon to make, is to give up your present concept of self and appropriate the desire you want to express.”
“The great secret of success is to focus the attention on the feeling of the wish fulfilled without permitting any distraction.”
“The question is often asked, ‘What should be done between the assumption of the wish fulfilled and its realization?' Nothing. It is a delusion that, other than assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you can do anything to aid the realization of your desire.
“You think that you can do something, you want to do something; but actually you can do nothing. The illusion of the free will to do is but ignorance of the law of assumption upon which all action is based.
“Everything happens automatically. All that befalls you, all that is done by you – happens.
“Your assumptions, conscious or unconscious, direct all thought and action to their fulfillment. To understand the law of assumption, to be convinced of its truth, means getting rid of all the illusions about free will to act.”
“You, by your conscious assumptions, determine the nature of the world in which you live.
“Ignore the present state and assume the wish fulfilled.
“Claim it; it will respond.
“The law of assumption is the means by which the fulfillment of your desires may be realized.
“Every moment of your life, consciously or unconsciously, you are assuming a feeling.
“You can no more avoid assuming a feeling than you can avoid eating and drinking. All you can do is control the nature of your assumptions.
“Thus it is clearly seen that the control of your assumption is the key you now hold to an ever expanding, happier, more noble life.”
I'd like to leave you with a success story from Neville's The Law and the Promise.
“At the time this wonderful thing happened to me I was out of a job and had no family to fall back upon for support. I needed just about everything. To find a decent job I needed a car to look for it, and though I had a car it was so worn out it was ready to fall apart. I was behind in my rent; I had no proper clothes to seek a job; and today it's no fun for a woman of fifty-five to apply for a job of any kind. My bank account was almost depleted and there was no friend to whom I could turn.
“…my desperation forced me to put my imagination to the test…. But I needed so many things and in such short order that I found myself exhausted when I finally got through the list, and by that time I was so nervous I could not sleep. One lecture night I heard you tell of an artist who captured the ‘feeling,' or ‘word,' as you called it, of ‘isn't it wonderful!' in his personal experience. I began to apply this idea to my case. Instead of thinking of and imagining every article I needed, I tried to capture the ‘feeling' that something wonderful was happening to me – not tomorrow, not next week – but right now. I would say over and over to myself as I fell asleep, “Isn't it wonderful! Something marvelous is happening to me now!' And as I fell asleep I would feel the way I would expect to feel under such circumstances.
“I repeated that imaginary action and feeling for two months, night after night, and one day in early October I met a causal friend I hadn't seen for months who informed me was about to leave on a trip to New York. I had lived in New York many years ago and we talked of the city a few moments and then parted. I completely forgot the incident. One month later, to the day, this man called at my apartment and simply handed me a Certified Check in my name for twenty-five hundred dollars. After I got over the initial shock of seeing my name on a check for so much money, the story that unfolded seemed to me like a dream. It concerned a friend I had not seen nor heard from in more than twenty-five years. This friend of my past, I now learned, had become extremely wealthy in those twenty-five years. Our mutual acquaintance who had brought the check to me had met him quite by accident during the trip to New York last month. During their conversation they spoke of me, and for reasons I was not to know…this only friend decided to share a portion of this great wealth with me.
“For the next two years, from the office of his attorney, I received monthly checks so generous in amount they not only covered every necessary requirement of daily living, but left much over for all the lovely things of life: a car, clothes, a spacious apartment – and best of all, no need to earn my daily bread.
“This past month I received a letter and some legal papers to be signed which provide the continuation of this monthly income for the rest of my natural life!..T.K.”

Hi Elizabeth
Great article of quotes.
I think the most useful being the last story. I think it can be really difficult to get into the ‘feeling’ place when you have resistance i.e. You affirm / visualise wealth but when you open your eyes all you see is debt .
The ‘something wonderful’ technique is great because there is no resistance and is it generic, as you are not saying I am ‘wealthy or whatever’. Just that something wonderful is happening.
I have used this technique to great effect on a number of occasions when I want to manifest something with a lot of emotional charge – it works!
Regards
B
Hi B – I’m glad you like the quotes.
It is amazing how well the “something wonderful” technique works, isn’t it? It completely eliminates resistance while allowing the best thing to happen. It’s so easy, but so effective.
HI,
is open eye visualization effective?? i have manifested 2-3 things by doing open eye visualization..is it possible for a relationship?
Hi Riddhi – Based on all your comments, you want to know how to use Neville’s techniques. Neville recommended using a state akin to sleep, so following Neville’s recommendation you would close your eyes. However, if you want to keep your eyes open, do so. No one’s going to stop you.
Hi Elizabeth! I have found a wonderful site that has some of Neville’s lectures up for free! I wish I could have a conversation with him, personally! Its all so fascinating. I have a particular question regarding a story he told in one of his lectures. The full lecture can be found at this website:
http://realneville.com/txt/lesson3.htm
In this lecture he tells a story of before he started really living in the way he lectured about. It was a friend of his that had actually turned him onto it. He talks about wanting to go to Barbados but not knowing how it was possible at all. He discussed this with his friend who essentially said “You want to go, you are there” and left it at that. He talks about being extremely discouraged but through a sequence of events ended up going to Barbados by a specific date for FREE. I guess my question is…..how did he manage to be discouraged but succeed in manifesting his desire?? I think I’m just looking for encouragement because I, at times, feel discouraged by my outside surroundings and situations as well. I know Neville teaches that your 5 senses deceive you. I thought this was an interesting story out of all that I have read so far. I am trying to “look up” while walking on water and just “know,” although evidence that my dreams are manifesting have yet to become physical.
As always, thanks for your time. 😀
He probably didn’t focus on his discouragement. It’s probably something he noted and then he moved back into feeling as He wasn’t attached to the outcome. if. He didn’t put a lot of emotions into it not happening. He didn’t spend a lot of time thinking and feeling that it was never going to happen. It goes along with this article on Why You Shouldn’t Do the Law of Attraction Perfectly.
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for getting the word on Neville out. As you know, he’s the real deal, and comes from a great place of love.
Many blessings to you,
Mr Twenty Twenty
Hi Mr Twenty Twenty,
You’ve done a great job getting Neville’s message out yourself. Neville’s teachings are powerful and have stood the test of time. He gave so much to te world in such a short time, and continues to give to us today.
Hey Elizabeth,
Thank you for this wonderful website you have created and providing us with such wonderful information which is helpful as I want to attract a specific person into my life again.
I am interested in Neville Goddard’s teachings I was wondering, does Neville Goddard support attracting a specific person?
I look forward to your reply! 🙂
Thank you,
S
He does. Neville used it to attract his wife. I discuss it briefly here: How I Manifested a Specific Person with Law of Attraction
Wow! I’ve just read that link. That is amazing! 🙂
So basically, it’s all about feeling as though the wish is fulfilled, which we then feel happy as a result of it and our vibration then starts to raise which is what matches being with that specific person… Right?
Is that right?
I look forward to your reply!
Love,
S

That’s some of it, but there is more to it than that.
Oh is there? 🙂
What would that be?
Xx
It’s far too much for me to post in a comment, S. Please look around this site to learn more about how to use the Law of Attraction.
Hi,
Sorry, I just saw your other reply.
I don’t expect you to explain everything in a post.
I have known about law of attraction for a few years now but just recently discovered Neville Goddard’s teachings. This lead me to your website and because I really want to attract a specific person back I bought your book.
I actually wanted to know if I can attract a specific person in my circumstances or any circumstances?
S
You create everything about your reality. If you believe it’s possible, it can happen.
Hi Elizabeth! :),
That’s amazing! Thank you! 🙂 it does make sense looking back at how I’ve attracted everything into my reality.
I do have a burning question regarding a situation I hope to never come across that has been on my mind for quite a while now…
Can we attract a specific person back into our life into a relationship with us even if they are with someone else, or showing interest in someone else?
Xx
S – I believe Elizabeth already answered your question. The answer is also in your question. Take a step back and think for a moment. It’s kind of obvious if you think about it. If you create everything about your reality, you created the person being with someone else, or showing interest in someone else. You can also attract them back because you create everything about your reality.
Hi Kim! :),
Thank you so much for replying to my question!
I now have hope and feel so much better! 🙂
You’re an angel, thank you so much! 🙂
Love,
S
Xxxx
Hey there! :),
I have a burning question that I really hope that someone can answer please?
Regarding the above comment, I understand that you can attract a specific person if they are with someone or interested in someone else… But I didn’t know if you meant while they were with someone else or not…
So, I wanted to clarify if you can attract a specific person while they are interested in someone else or while they are with someone else?
Thank you very much! 🙂
I look forward to your reply!
Love,
S
Xx
It’s pretty obvious to me that you’d be able to based on the above. People do so all the time.
Hi James,
Thank you! 🙂
Wow! I didn’t know people did this all the time. This is amazing news to me! 🙂
Does this include if they don’t seem interested in me, etc?
I look forward to your reply!
Thank you! 🙂
S – You might want to check out this article: https://www.applythelawofattraction.com/manifesting-love/
Thank you Pam! 🙂 the article has confirmed that you really can attract a specific person and that you create everything in your reality! 🙂
I wanted to clear any doubts before doing the techniques in the Manifesting Love book.
I just want to clarify if you can attract a relationship with a specific person even if they do not seem interested in you?
Thank you so much in advance! 🙂
Love,
S
Didn’t you just answer your own question? again? If you create everything in your reality, you created them not being interested in you. If you create everything in your reality, you can create them being interested in you. You’ve clearly been obsessed with the same person for months. Why don’t you use the techniques and get with them already? You clearly have some resistance to being with them or you’d have used the techniques already. What are you afraid of? And what does this have to do with manifesting money?
Hi James,
Thank you for your reply! 🙂
I’m sorry about posting on the wrong thread, I stumbled upon this page on this site accidentally and I grateful that I did! 🙂
But I do apologise for any inconvenience caused.
I guess I was afraid of him wanting to be with someone else or ending up being with someone else. We also started off talking to eachother and meeting up which ended up for physical reasons, which I know is wrong.
I however, want to be in a commited, loving relationship with him rather than just physical…
The other thing that I’m afraid of is, I keep comparing myself to other girls, feeling insecure when I think some other girl is prettier than me and that he would go for her.
I feel that I am beautiful but I’m trying to get rid of this insecurity.
But as you have said, “you create everything in your reality”.
So none of these circumstances matter right?
(After this question, I will get on with the techniques!) 🙂
Thank you,
I look forward to your reply!
Love,
S
Everyone has been telling you for months that none of the circumstances matter unless you make them matter.
If you had started using Elizabeth’s techniques months ago, you might already have the relationship you want. Just a thought. 🙂
