Activate the Eternal Power: Neville Goddard’s I Am Meditation

What Is Neville Goddard’s I Am Meditation?

Neville Goddard’s “I am” meditation is a practice where you focus on the phrase “I am” to connect with your inherent creative power. By repeating “I am” and visualizing your desire as already fulfilled, you align your consciousness with your desire, allowing it to manifest in your reality. 

Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard was a spiritual teacher and author who taught manifestation based on the principle that “imagination creates reality.”

This means that everything we experience in our physical world is a reflection of our inner state of consciousness. So to change our outer circumstances we must first change our inner state.

Everything we experience in life originates from within us. Our imagination is the stage upon which the drama of our life plays out.

Events and circumstances we encounter are direct reflections of our inner world—our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

 “The whole vast book is all about you. The whole drama unfolds within your own wonderful human Imagination.” – Neville Goddard

The Concept of “Living in the End” and the Law of Assumption

In his teachings, Neville often emphasized the importance of living from the end, or assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

This means that in order to manifest our desire, we must first live as if the desire has already been achieved.

We have to feel as if we already have what we want, and live in that state of mind until it becomes our reality.

If you can do that, your desire must be fulfilled – it’s the Law.  

 The Law of Assumption posits that what you assume to be true becomes your reality. 

Now let’s see how the “I am” phrase fits into this. 

The Power of ‘I Am’

Neville taught that our consciousness or sense of self, represented by the words “I am,” is the source of everything in our lives. He saw “I am” as the presence of God within us.

The phrase “I am” is synonymous with God. In fact, it’s the name of God. In the Bible, when Moses asks for God’s name, he is told, “I AM THAT I AM” (Book of Exodus 3:14). 

So, when we use this phrase consciously and intentionally, we can tap into its infinite creative power.

Think about what this means for you:

You are not the person you believe you are. You are God playing the part of being you and 3d reality is your stage!

When you declare yourself to be something, you are affirming that it is already a fact in your mind and will manifest as a reality in your life. 

In simple terms, what you believe yourself to be, you will eventually become.

The Philosophy Behind ‘I Am’

Who we believe ourselves to be—our self-concept—directly influences the experiences and circumstances we encounter in our lives.

By changing our inner beliefs (assumptions) about ourselves, we can alter our external reality.

Our self-concept is essentially the story we tell ourselves about who we are.

It includes our beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about ourselves.

This story shapes our actions, behaviors, and ultimately our reality. 

One way to tap into the power of “I am” is by declaring it and feeling it with conviction. For example, instead of saying “I want,” which implies a sense of lack, say “I am.”

By affirming that we already possess what we desire, we are signaling to our subconscious mind that it is already real and ours. This helps us to shift from a place of wanting to a place of having.

When you say “I am,” you are declaring your own divinity and creative authority. This is a powerful affirmation of your ability to influence and create the circumstances of your life.

Manifesting with ‘I Am’ Meditation

The process of manifestation through “I am” can be broken down into three steps:

1. Affirming “I am,”
2. Assuming the desired state,
3. And remaining faithful to that assumption.

This process is based on Neville’s personal experience. It allows you to reach a state of being where there is nothing but “I am,” a state beyond words, filled with infinite love and light.

1. Affirm I Am

The first step towards manifesting your desires is to declare your “I am-ness.” This means acknowledging your true self and recognizing that you are one with God and possess unlimited potential. 

To do this, silently repeat the phrase “I am” to yourself. Just let it resonate within your mind.

Let go of any thoughts about your past or what others think of you. Focus only on the phrase “I am.”

Spend a few minutes in this state, allowing yourself to fully immerse in the experience of “I am” and the presence of infinite love.

Don’t force anything, just let it come. 

2. Assume the Desired State

Once you have affirmed your I-AM, you can then move on to assuming the desired state you want to manifest. 

For this to work, you must be specific. Name exactly what you want to be, do, or have after “I am.”

This could be anything from financial abundance to good health, a loving relationship, or a successful career.

For instance, you could say, “I am successful and fulfilled in my career,” or “I am in a loving and committed relationship.”

Or, if you want to manifest abundance, you could affirm, “I am already wealthy,” or “I am so abundant.”

It’s also important to bring some emotion into it. 

How would you feel if you had your desire now? 

For example, happy, grateful, or fulfilled.  Feel these emotions as you say “I am.”

If you want to manifest abundance, feel yourself living a life of prosperity. If you seek love, feel yourself in a loving relationship.

3. Remain Faithful to the Assumption

Conclude your meditation by feeling gratitude for the experience. Trust that what you have envisioned is on its way to manifest in your reality.

Neville teaches us not to allow our conscious reasoning minds to ask why or how. When we do, we limit ourselves to the realm of appearances and may start looking for visible causes.

So, the final step is to persist in the assumption that you have made.

This means living in the end result as if your desire has already been fulfilled.

Keep embodying with all your heart and mind that what you have assumed is already true and continue to hold onto that belief, regardless of what your senses may tell you.

Whenever doubts arise, counter them with your “I am” statements. Repeat them until you reach that deep sense of calm and trust.
