Be What You Wish: The Power of Imagination, Assumption, and Creative Self-Concept - Paperback

by Neville Goddard (Author)

Neville Goddard teaches that the imagination is not a private escape from reality, but the creative power by which reality is shaped. In Be What You Wish, he argues that a person's life changes when they stop submitting to outer facts as final and begin deliberately assuming a new and higher concept of themselves. The world without is treated as a reflection of the world within, and transformation begins with the disciplined use of imagination, affirmation, feeling, and belief.

Drawing on the central principles of New Thought and his own metaphysical reading of scripture, Goddard presents desire not as idle fantasy but as a call to inward change. To "be what you wish" is to enter the state of the fulfilled wish now, to accept it inwardly, and to let that assumption reorganize thought, conduct, expectation, and experience. The book speaks directly to readers who feel trapped by circumstance and are looking for a method of self-transformation rooted in consciousness rather than external struggle alone.

For readers of manifestation, law of assumption, New Thought, metaphysical spirituality, affirmations, and classic self-help, Be What You Wish offers a compact but powerful statement of Goddard's core teaching: imagination creates, assumption hardens into fact, and the self-concept a person accepts becomes the life they inhabit. The text is especially useful for readers who want Neville Goddard in direct, forceful form, with his emphasis on inner authority, creative imagination, and the practical spiritual discipline of becoming the person one desires to be.
