The Creative Use of Imagination

*The Creative Use of Imagination* is a book by Neville Goddard, first published in 1952. Based on notes from his famous lectures in San Francisco and edited after his death by his student Margaret Ruth Broome, this book presents, in a direct and accessible way, Neville Goddard’s most powerful teaching: that everything you experience first arises in your mind. In short, incisive chapters—designed to be read and put into practice immediately—the author guides us through the pillars of his philosophy: desire as the starting point of every transformation, “living in the ending” as a technique for already feeling what you wish to become, revision as a tool for mentally rewriting the past and thereby changing the future, and finally, the awareness of the “I AM,” the key to recognizing one’s true creative power. The result is a fascinating bridge between biblical symbolism and concrete inner practice, where attention, feeling, and disciplined imaginative scenes become the tools for truly changing one’s life. Considered a timeless classic of New Thought, this text is today at the heart of the Law of Assumption movement and is deeply cherished by those who practice conscious manifestation. It continues to inspire thousands of readers around the world to rediscover the creative power of their own minds. Anyone who wishes to learn how to shape their own reality through the imagination will find this book to be the ideal starting point.
