Five Lessons ─ A Master Class

In this unparalleled master class, Neville Goddard provides his most direct, exquisitely clear lessons on using your mind to create the life you want. Features a bonus chapter by historian Mitch Horowitz.

In 1948 the modern mystic Neville Goddard presented a groundbreaking series of lessons to Los Angeles students, which many consider the teacher's clearest, most penetrating explanation of his methods of mental creativity.

This special lesson plan, augmented with a bonus chapter by historian Mitch Horowitz, recreates Neville's master class, preserving his words exactly as students heard them at the time.

These five lessons, plus a question-and-answer section, are the plainest and most direct description of the master's techniques, now in a handsome signature edition with revealing and useful bonus material.

Born to an English family in Barbados, Neville Goddard (1905-1972) moved to New York City at age seventeen to study theater. In 1932, he abandoned his work as a dancer and actor to fully devote himself to his career as a metaphysical writer and lecturer. Using the solitary penname Neville, he became one of the twentieth century's most original and charismatic purveyors of the philosophy generally called New Thought. Neville wrote more than ten books and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death. Possessed of a self-educated and eclectic intellect, Neville exerted an influence on a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from Joseph Murphy to Carlos Castaneda. The impact of his ideas continues to be felt in some of today's bestselling works of practical spirituality.

Mitch Horowitz is a PEN Award-winning historian and the author of books including Occult America; One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life; and Mind As Builder: The Positive-Mind Metaphysics of Edgar Cayce.
