FEELING IS THE SECRET BY NEVILLE GODDARD
Feeling Is the Secret is a short but influential work by Neville Goddard, first published in 1944. In this book, Neville explores the relationship between consciousness, feeling, imagination, assumption, prayer, sleep, and the subconscious mind.
At the heart of the book is Neville's teaching that feeling is central to the process of impressing an assumed state upon the subconscious. Rather than simply thinking about a desired outcome, he directs attention toward accepting and experiencing the feeling associated with the desired condition as though it were already fulfilled.
Neville develops these ideas through four chapters: Law and Its Operation, Sleep, Prayer, and Spirit - Feeling. Together, they examine how the conscious and subconscious aspects of mind interact, why the period before sleep is significant, how Neville understood prayer, and why the feeling associated with an assumed state matters.
The book is particularly important for readers studying Neville's ideas about the feeling of the wish fulfilled, imagination, the Law of Assumption, prayer, and the state akin to sleep (SATS).
Although Feeling Is the Secret is concise, its ideas connect with many of the principles that appear throughout Neville Goddard's wider body of teachings. For this reason, it remains an important starting point for anyone who wants to understand Neville's approach to conscious creation and the role of assumed states.

WHAT IS FEELING IS THE SECRET ABOUT?
At the heart of Feeling Is the Secret is Neville Goddard's teaching concerning the relationship between feeling, imagination, assumption, and the subconscious mind.
Neville explains that the feeling associated with an assumed state has an important role in impressing the subconscious.
Rather than simply thinking about what you want, Neville directs attention toward assuming the feeling of the desired condition as though it were already realized.
The book also explores the relationship between the conscious and subconscious aspects of mind and gives particular importance to sleep and prayer.
THE FOUR CHAPTERS OF FEELING IS THE SECRET
Chapter One: Law and Its Operation
The opening chapter introduces Neville Goddard's understanding of the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind.
Neville explains how ideas and feelings can become impressed upon the subconscious and discusses the role of consciousness in determining the experiences that are expressed in life.
This chapter establishes the foundation for the ideas developed throughout the rest of the book.
Chapter Two: Sleep
In Sleep, Neville explores the special significance of the period immediately before falling asleep. He describes sleep as a natural entrance into the subconscious and explains why the relaxed state preceding sleep can be particularly receptive to suggestion and impression.
For readers studying Neville's teachings on SATS and the state akin to sleep, this chapter provides important foundational material.
Chapter Three: Prayer
In Prayer, Neville presents prayer in connection with the assumption of a desired state. Rather than approaching prayer solely as a request for something that is absent, Neville emphasizes entering a state in which the desired condition is accepted and experienced as fulfilled.
The chapter connects prayer with feeling, faith, receptivity, imagination, and assumption.
Chapter Four: Spirit - Feeling
The final chapter develops Neville's teaching concerning feeling and the assumed state. Neville explores the relationship between feeling, consciousness, imagination, and the experience of being.
The chapter brings together many of the central ideas developed throughout the work and emphasizes the importance of the state one accepts oneself to be in.
