Neville Goddard on money
He spoke about money plainly, as something people need, and taught that wealth and poverty are first states of consciousness. These are his words, not a promise about money.
“It is impossible for the poor man to find wealth in this world no matter how he is surrounded with it until he first claims himself to be wealthy.”
“I have no desire to be a millionaire but I do desire the comfort that a nice steady flow of income allows”
“The rich man, the poor man, the good man, the thief are what they are by virtue of the states from which they view the world.”
“But if you want recognition in this world, you want money in this world, you want comfort in this world, I see nothing wrong in that because these things I would want for myself.”
“Living in a world of men, money is needed in my every day life.”
“To be conscious of being poor and to pray to a God for riches is to be rewarded with that which you are conscious of being – which is poverty.”
“Knowing that the consciousness of wealth produces wealth, as the consciousness of poverty produces poverty, He forgives all men for being what they are.”
“I have a lavish, steady, dependable income, consistent with integrity and mutual benefit.”
“To constantly kick and complain against the limitations of poverty while remaining poor in consciousness is to play the fool’s game.”
“LIFE does not care whether you call yourself rich or poor, strong or weak.”
“When you meet people of great wealth in this world, and you'll judge them because they have money, just talk to them for a little while. Money hasn't altered their other states.”
“You could tonight determine to be, and you name it, you want to be wealthy, all right, it means nothing. It's a shadow anyway.”
“I know that if you attempt to disprove it, you will prove it, and I will be the richer for your proving it, not in dollars, not in things, but because you become the living fruit of what I believe I am teaching in this world.”
“You want to be wealthy? What's wrong with it? You want to be anything? What's wrong with it?”
“I am not going to say, “God knows best, and He knows I need money.” Rather, I will appropriate the money as though it were!”
“If you are impoverished and borrow from every friend you have, and then suddenly you roll in wealth, where did you bury the poor man?”
“So if you would pray for riches, turn from your picture of poverty by denying the very evidence of your senses and assume the nature of being wealthy.”
“Instead of imagining wealth, health and friends, imagine being ecstatic.”
