Freedom for All by Neville Goddard

Public opinion will not long endure a theory which does not work in practice. Today, probably more than ever before, man demands proof of the truth of even his highest ideal. For ultimate satisfaction man must find a principle which is for him a way of life, a principle which he can experience as true.

I believe I have discovered just such a principle in the greatest of all sacred writings, the Bible. Drawn from my own mystical illumination, this book reveals the truth buried within the stories of the old and new testaments alike.

Briefly, the book states that consciousness is the one and only reality, that consciousness is the cause and manifestation is the effect. It draws the reader’s attention to this fact constantly, that the reader may always keep first things first.

Having laid the foundation that a change of consciousness is essential to bring about any change of expression, this book explains to the reader a dozen different ways to bring about such a change of consciousness.

This is a realistic and constructive principle that works. The revelation it contains, if applied, will set you free.

• Unconditioned consciousness, or a sense of awareness and knowing that one exists, is the one and only reality.
• The self-existent, unconditioned consciousness becomes aware of being someone or something but remains eternally aware of being regardless of its condition.
• All beliefs about the self are attempts to know the unknown, undefined reality of unconditioned consciousness.
• The world is the objectification of one’s conditioned consciousness.
• The state of consciousness in which one life is reflected in the world and events in one’s life.
• The inner state is the cause of the outer manifestation, not external factors such as God, fate, or chance.
• The individual’s sense of awareness and consciousness of being is their true being or God.
• The individual’s conception of themselves is an illusion.
• The discovery that one’s sense of awareness is God reveals that all beliefs about God are beliefs about the self.
• The individual’s consciousness brings to life their consciousness of being.
• The individual’s consciousness is the only entrance into the world of expression.
• The individual’s beliefs limit their experiences and accomplishments.
• The individual has the power to change their life by changing their consciousness and beliefs.
• The Bible is a mystical text that uses Eastern symbolism to reveal the secrets of creation and how to escape them.
• The Bible was written symbolically to be understood by those with intelligence and intuition.
• The symbolic name of the creator, Jehovah, is made up of four Hebrew letters that represent different aspects of creation.
• The first letter, JOD, represents unconditioned consciousness or the sense of undefined awareness from which all creation comes.
• The second letter, HE, represents an idea or defined subjective state.
• The third letter, VAU, represents the act of unifying the conceiver and the conception.
• The fourth letter, HE, represents the objectification of the subjective agreement between the conceiver and the conception.
• The interpretation of the Bible requires an understanding of the symbolic meanings of words and names.
• All words and names in the Bible are symbols that represent different states of consciousness.
• To understand the Bible, one must learn to read it symbolically and understand its message through intuition.
• The story of Noah and the Ark in the Bible is a symbolic representation of the process of creation.
• Noah, the father, and creator represents unconditioned consciousness or I AM.
• Noah’s three sons represent different stages in the process of creation: Shem represents desire or a defined objective, Ham represents a feeling or the subjective union of consciousness and desire, and Japheth represents the extended or objectified state bearing witness of the subjective state.
• The ability to feel unseen and actualize a definite subjective state through feeling is the secret of creation, turning the invisible into the visible.
• The present objectified world is a reflection of past subjective states.
• The story of Noah teaches the importance of defining and feeling a clear desire to bring about its manifestation in the physical world.
• The story of Isaac blessing his second son Jacob by mistakenly believing he is blessing his first son Esau represents the secret of feeling or the ability to call the invisible into visible states.
• Isaac represents consciousness or awareness of being, Esau represents the present objectified world, and Jacob represents a subjective state or desire that is not yet embodied.
• Isaac, who is blind and therefore cannot see his sons, uses his sense of feeling to mistakenly bless Jacob, the subjective state, as though it were Esau, the real or objectified state.
• To make a subjective state become objectified, one must focus on it and feel it is real.
• The sense of feeling is the key to the secret of creation, as it allows one to subjectively actualize a state and impress upon oneself the reality of that state until it becomes visible.
• The story of Isaac and his two sons symbolizes how one’s consciousness creates and shapes their reality.
• The six days of work in the Bible are not 24-hour periods but symbolize the psychological moment a definite subjective state is fixed.
• This time spent consciously defining oneself as what one desires to be is the measure of the six days.
• The sixth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, VAU, represents the act of joining the creator (consciousness) to their creation (desire) through feeling.
• The interval between the fixed impression (subjective state) and the outward expression of that state is called the Sabbath, which is a period of mental rest.
• The Sabbath follows the six days of work and is a period of mental pregnancy, during which the manifestation is incubated.
• The Sabbath can be kept as a day of rest only after one succeeds in becoming conscious of being what they desire to be.
• Physical observance of one day of the week as a day of quietness is not keeping the Sabbath, as the peace of the Sabbath can only be experienced when one has succeeded in becoming conscious of being what one desires.
• The true meaning and purpose of the Sabbath are to enter into a state of rest or peace within one’s consciousness.
• The formula for the cure of leprosy in the Bible can be applied to any problem in life, including physical, mental, financial, social, and moral issues.
• The two birds in the formula represent the current problem and the solution to that problem.
• The process of curing the problem involves killing the first bird (the problem) by removing attention from it and dipping the second bird (the solution) into the blood (consciousness) of the first bird.
• This process is similar to the act of blessing in the story of Isaac blessing Jacob, where Jacob’s subjective state (the solution) is made objective by the blind Isaac’s (consciousness) belief in it.
• The next step in the process involves sprinkling the solution (the live bird) onto the problem seven times, symbolizing the idea that the solution must be fixed in consciousness through repetition.
• The final step involves letting the live bird (the solution) go into the open field, symbolizing the idea of allowing the solution to manifest and become a reality in the objective world.
• By following this formula, one can free themselves from any problem or undesirable state and manifest the solution in their life.
• God communicates with humans through their basic desires, which are “words of promise or prophecies that contain within themselves the plan and power of expression.”
• Basic desires are a person’s true objectives, while secondary desires deal with the means of achieving them.
• God does not reveal the plan for achieving a person’s desires, but only the desire itself and its eventual fulfillment.
• People often add to or take away from their basic desires, which results in failure and frustration.
• Desires are a natural result of a person’s self-conception and will continue as long as that self-conception persists.
• Changing one’s self-conception will change their desires.
• Desires are states of consciousness seeking embodiment and can be easily expressed by those who have conceived them.
• When a person assumes the proper attitude and becomes one with their desire, it will be expressed.
• The power to fulfill desires comes from within and is activated through the process of desire, faith, and acceptance.
• The law of assumption is the belief that a person’s desire is already fulfilled, which causes it to be expressed in the physical world.
• The power of assumption can be used to overcome any obstacle or problem.
• The phrase “faith as a grain of mustard seed” does not mean a small amount of faith.
• A grain of mustard seed is absolute in faith because it is only aware of being a mustard seed and is sealed in the conviction of being one.
• Faith is feeling or living in the consciousness of being the thing desired and is the secret of creation and the sense of feeling by which Isaac blessed and made real his son Jacob.
• Faith enables a person to become conscious of being the thing desired and seals them in that conscious state until it ripens and expresses itself.
• To have the faith of a mustard seed, a person must wear the mood or feeling of already being what they desire to be and remain confident in it until it becomes a visible reality.
• A fixed conscious state that is properly sealed by faith is a Word of God and must embody itself.
• To send out a Word of God, a person must be conscious of being the thing desired, speak the word with feeling, and let go of the desire.
• A Word of God can be sent out to heal others or to manifest anything desired.
• To manifest anything, a person must be conscious of being it, speak it with feeling, and let go of the desire.
• All desires are words of God waiting to be sealed and made flesh.
• The Immaculate Conception is a story from the Bible about the birth of Jesus.
• The story of the Immaculate Conception is a metaphor for the process of impregnating oneself with a desired state.
• The story has four characters: the Father (consciousness), the Son (desire), Mary (receptive attitude of mind), and the Angel (a method used to make the impregnation).
• To impregnate oneself with a desired state, one must first clarify their desire and then select a trusted friend to serve as the messenger or “angel” who will impart the desired state to them.
• The messenger tells the individual that they have already achieved their desired state, and the individual assumes a receptive attitude of mind and imagines hearing this message.
• The emotional thrill of hearing the good news is the moment of conception when the individual becomes self-impregnated with the desired state.
• The individual then goes about their business in secret, confident that the desired state will be expressed in due time.
