The Law and The Promise

The Law and The Promise is a book by Neville Goddard, first published in 1961. In it Goddard gathers a series of firsthand accounts and short essays to argue that human imagination is the causal power behind lived reality: by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled and living from that inner state, one can bring about tangible change.

The text sits squarely within the New Thought tradition and reads as both practical instruction and spiritual testimony, showing readers how techniques of revision, disciplined imagining, and the law of assumption can be used for healing, relationships, and personal transformation.

Written with an emphatic, experiential voice, the book became a touchstone for later manifestation and conscious-creation communities. Its influence is visible across contemporary self-help and spiritual literature that emphasises imagination, faith, and mental rehearsal as tools for change.

Readers drawn to practical spirituality, law-of-attraction methods, and classic New Thought teaching will find this a compact, persuasive manual on the power of inner life to reshape the outer world.
