A Formula for Victory

Tips & Techniques

When I first read Neville's books I really struggled with Your Faith is Your Fortune and not much of it resonated with me. But, I took what did in other books and lectures to continue learning, testing, and moving forward but I have been going back through all the books and am finding this a favorite.

This morning I read Chapter 27, the final chapter, and wow when anyone tells you to go read the books and then take what you read and use it this is the reason why. The chapter is titled 'a formula for victory' and it truly is.

Neville reminds us of the story of Joshua capturing the city of Jericho:

It is recorded that Joshua was armed only with the knowledge that every place that the sole of his foot should tread upon would be given to him; that he desired to capture or tread upon the city of Jericho but found the walls separating him from the city impassable.

It seemed physically impossible for Joshua to get beyond these massive walls and stand upon the city of Jericho. Yet, he was driven by the knowledge of the promise that, regardless of the barriers and obstacles separating him from his desires, if he could but stand upon the city, it would be given to him.

The Book of Joshua further records that instead of fighting this giant problem of the wall, Joshua employed the services of the harlot, Rahab, and sent her as a spy into the city. As Rahab entered her house, which stood in the midst of the city, Joshua – who was securely barred by the impassable walls of Jericho – blew on his trumpet seven times. At the seventh blast, the walls crumbled and Joshua entered the city victoriously.

This story, along with many others, tells you your perfect path to victory.

Joshua symbolizes to you, the reader, your present state; the city of Jericho symbolizes your desire, or defined objective.

The walls of Jericho symbolize the obstacles between you and the realization of your objectives. The foot symbolizes the understanding; placing the sole of the foot upon a definite place indicates fixing a definite psychological state.

Rahab, the spy, is your ability to travel secretly or psychologically to any place in space. Consciousness knows no frontier. No one can stop you from dwelling psychologically at any point, or in any state in time or space.

Regardless of the physical barriers separating you from your objective, you can, without effort or help of anyone, annihilate time, space and barriers.

Read that, again; REGARDLESS of the physical barriers - no matter what the hell is going on now or has yesterday or you perceive to stand in your way - you can ANNIHILATE time and barriers.

Annihilate: defeat utterly

​

First: define your objective (not the manner of obtaining it) – but your objective, pure and simple; know exactly what it is you desire so that you have a clear mental picture of it.

Secondly: take your attention away from the obstacles which separate you from your objective and place your thought on the objective itself.

Thirdly: close your eyes and FEEL that you are already in the city or state that you would capture. Remain within this psychological state until you get a conscious reaction of complete satisfaction in this victory. Then, by simply opening your eyes, return to your former conscious state.

This secret journey into the desired state, with its subsequent psychological reaction of complete satisfaction, is all that is necessary to bring about total victory.

This victorious psychical state will embody itself despite all opposition. It has the plan and power of self-expression.

That is it. There is no reason to overcomplicate it, add a bunch of rules and focusing on your blocks. Just follow the steps. If during the day you think of your desire then give thanks to your Father for your desire is already done and move on with enjoyment of your life.

You need to lack for nothing - The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

I also find Neville really says the same thing over and over, sometimes some changes in messages but it is mostly the same. The amount of people who ask questions here without reading a single (free online!) book is insane

That's because reading takes too long. They want instant gratification. I'll be honest I was the same at one point...desperate for my person and getting him back, etc. But without reading I got hot and cold results along with struggling to see how it works overall.

Great post! It reminded me of a part from the beginning of The Congregation Of God (1966)

Man is redeemed through the death of his delusions. You wait…everyone will be redeemed, because he’ll be put into situations where these delusions created in this false manner will all disappear. I have watched it. I have watched men who hated certain races, certain nations, and their salvation came through that race and that nation. Right here, he told me…this chap born of Irish background, Catholic. They came from Ireland. He was born in Boston and raised in that very limited environment, where nothing was right but a good Irish Catholic. He said, “I hated two people in the world: I hated the Jew and I hated the Negro. Then came the 2nd World War and I was a sergeant in the Pacific. The Japanese had us pinned down. I couldn’t move, I just couldn’t move…my entire company pinned down. The slightest motion and the machine guns simply swept us. On my left was a Jew. Because he was a Jew, I gave him all the dirty work in the company. I was a Catholic and he a Jew, and I threw everything I should not have, because he was really not worthy of that treatment.

“Then he said to me when we were pinned down, he said, ‘Sarge, do you have a grenade?’ I said yes. He said, ‘Let me have them.’ So, he said, I unpinned a couple and the very motion caused fire, and he took them. He stretched his hand out and took them. Then he jumped up like lightning and threw, pins pulled, threw them right into that nest and blew the entire nest apart. He was wounded, seriously wounded, but he saved the company. From that day on, no matter who he was, if he was a Jew, he was tops in my world. That delusion died when I saw the bravery of a man. I always thought that they were cowards, and I, the great Catholic, and I wouldn’t budge to get up to give my life, but he jumped up to save others, and he saved the entire company.

“I came back to America. I hadn’t yet gotten over my prejudice of the Negro. Now, I’m a builder, bricks, all the things that go into building buildings. In San Francisco…I didn’t return to Boston, I went to see my family, then I came back to the West Coast. Having spent a little time here, I liked it.” So he came back, another job in San Francisco, producing materials for all construction. “One day, an explosion took place in a factory and I’m afire. My whole body is blazing. And all the Caucasians around just simply are afraid, not one came towards me. This Negro rushed towards me, picked me up bodily, and threw me down, and laid on me, smothered every little spark on my body with his body. He was burned, yes, really burned, but he saved my life and smothered it. And now, as the employer of all the work in building, if you are a Negro or a Jew, you get the first choice.”

Man dies through the death of his delusions. He’s no longer, then, an Ammonite or a Moabite. He breaks down the wall of partition between himself and the world. For you are the body of Christ and, individually, members of it. But as long as you have the little membrane tying you alone and you can’t meet this one because they are a different world, they are an entirely different world, they belong to a different strata altogether, well, then you’ll never break down the wall and you’ll never join the assembly of God.

And the first half of this for some reason...

I am currently listening to Neville Goddard’s 5 lessons , free on YouTube , and the same exact point is highly emphasized, everything you just said , is what I wish I could have first read and understood when I came to this sub a while ago. Everyone stresses about technique and if they did it right or not , but Neville provided us with two clear prayers , this being one of them. And when these prayers are done exactly by Neville’s teaching and with faith and feeling then there is no way in hell you can go wrong.

I really love this book! I do wonder though, throughout a lot of his other books/lectures (i'm thinking the Power of Awareness) he always says to live in the state of the wish fulfilled, so in this case YOU ARE in the city of Jericho (or you ARE in Barbados).

I know the imaginal acts/dwelling in the end transport you in time and the 3D catches up with were you went in Imagination. But do you think when neville mentions by constantly living in the end (or frequently returning to the End) he is suggesting it so that the desired state feels natural and normal, to eliminate doubt? Or do you think based on this chapter, doing an Imaginal Act until you feel satisfied is enough when married to a mental diet and faith that the unseen reality WILL manifest in your 3D irrespective of frequency etc?

I think the returning to that state is to crowd out the old state. You are essentially creating new brain pathways to support the desired end

Also I don’t want to sound like I’m undermining your post but the 7 trumpet blows symbolizes the 7 days , and the 7th day is the sabbath, or the day god rested from his work , his work being completed, your desire will come to you when you are no longer looking or thinking about it , hopping it to come your desire will come when you are satisfied with your work and you have rested , I know I speak from personal experience. One of the best things I ever did was to an a 5 day long bing of Nevilles books and then mad it rain hard in a part of this country that usually never gets rain in the matter of a few hours. I was thinking about it all day long , and I walked down the street , and I thought to myself I want it to rain , so I spaced out and felt myself to be in rain and then I was satisfied and went about my day and 30 minutes later it not only started to rain but it was a downpour. And then 40 minutes later I was trapped outside on a porch , and I had to pee , so I spaced out and thought I was dry and I was no longer in the rain , and then as soon as I was satisfied I opened my eyes and walked out into the rain , and as I did and left the porch the rain stopped and turned into a slight drizzle. So yeah that was fun.

Good addition- not undermining at all! He mentions that in the chapter as well

Yes, there are too many complications and too much fantasy about Neville Goddard's teachingYou can read, talk or even write about wine, and we can see the effects that it can produce on others, but as long as we have not drank wine ourselves, we are as ignorant of its power.

c2theOPI am•

Yes, testing yourself is really the only way

It’s way more Neville explaining than me but very happy you got value from this

Extraordinarily2021•

I'm still getting the hang of it all tbh

It has worked before and I manifested things without even knowing it. So I know the power it has.

but I've been busy researching how to best utilise it to realise bigger goals.. you're explanation... was a great find for me 😁
