Out of This World

Out of This World is a book by Neville Goddard, first published in 1949. In a compact, tightly argued volume, Goddard examines how imagination — when deliberately controlled and felt as real — becomes the engine that shapes outward experience. The book presents his core teaching that assumptions and inner acts of consciousness precede and produce outer events, offering clear explanation and practical exercises in visualization and inner rehearsal that readers can use to test these ideas for themselves.

Themes you’ll find throughout include manifestation, the creative power of imagination, and the importance of assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Written for readers interested in practical spirituality and self-transformation, the text moves quickly from theory to method: short chapters lay out the “mechanism” by which inner states impress the subconscious, followed by concrete guidance on focused imagining, scene-building, and maintaining an assumption until it hardens into fact. Although concise, the book is dense with examples and has often been recommended as a primer for anyone exploring the Law of Assumption, visualization techniques, or conscious manifestation practice.
