‘At Your Command’, The Best Lessons From Neville Goddard 2

If the world were at your command, what do you want from it right now? Is it wealth? Perhaps fame and fortune? Maybe health? Romance?

Know that anything is possible, there are no limitations to your desires. Except for yourself. More precisely your thoughts, your assumptions, and your concept of self.

If there is one book I can’t get enough of is ‘At Your Command‘ by Neville Goddard. If you don’t know who Neville Goddard is, you can read about him here. I got “At Your Command” by Neville Goddard after knowing The Law of Assumption and you can read about my manifestation journey here.

‘At Your Command’ Overview

This book is a gem, pure gold!!! It contains all the knowledge you need in regard to manifestation. Neville Goddard wrote it in 1939 and is considered to be his first work on what today is known as higher awareness and practical metaphysics.

It is around 30 pages. (I always read on my Kindle so this is an estimate of pages in a physical book). And because of the small number of pages, you can read it in an hour or so.

Seriously, this little book has been everything to me since I got my hands on it. And now, I want to share some of the lessons I learned from it.

A Kind Warning Before Reading ‘At Your Command’

This book is for everyone who wants to shift to the better the way life has been so far. It doesn’t matter if you think you were born with luck because life has been somewhat good. It also doesn’t matter if you think things are destined to be because let me tell you right now, they are not.

If you are new to the Law of Assumption (LOA), ‘At Your Command‘ will blow your mind because what you’re going to read here will change your whole perception.

On the other hand, if you know about The Secret and Law of Attraction teachings, perhaps you’ll find it a little challenging because Neville is all about thoughts and assumptions. So you better ditch the idea about vibration and alignment since those are not necessary to manifest.

This is in no way a book review. I want to give you the knowledge I took from these pages and hopefully, for you to read ‘At Your Command‘ and learn everything on a deeper level.

One thing I advise you to do when reading this little book is to read it with your mind open. Don’t make any judgments as you get further on its pages.

And, after you had processed all the information, read it again, and again because what you are discovering is what he called The Principle of Expression.

“At Your Command” Teaching #1: Your Thoughts Count

Neville refers to this as what we now know as manifestation and within the very first paragraph, he clearly states that everything in your life has happened because of what you decree. No one thing has appeared without you decreeing because you have always done so and will continue to do it.

This is all because of the power of affirmations and he states that speaking out loud your affirmations are hopeless because to truly manifest, affirming needs to be done in the consciousness.

He also clarifies that speaking out loud affirmations is vain repetition. What shapes your world is what you decree, in other words, your assumptions, beliefs, and thoughts.

To this point, I’m only referring to the first paragraph!!! Can you believe it? I’m telling you this to see what is to come in the further pages.

“At Your Command” Teaching #2: The Power Is Within You

Consciousness, or the subconscious mind, is the door to your secret power. This power is manifestation. This is why speaking your affirmations are worthless because they need to be done within you.

In other words, by coming into yourself, you need to affirm in your mind. And by speaking in your mind, your consciousness or subconscious mind translates words into pictures, and this action is known as visualization. No need for anything else.

Before you can transform your current reality, which is your outer world, you must first lay a foundation deep within you.

To your consciousness, anything is possible, there are no limitations whatsoever. And for your desires to come to pass, you need to rise in the naturalness of being the thing desired.

“At Your Command” Teaching #3: Feeling Is The Secret

Although this is the title of another Neville book, which I will talk about it in the future, I want to use this phrase because this is the big key he emphasizes to manifest.

When Neville says you must rise in the naturalness of being the thing desires, he is not referring to feeling like money, love, happiness. Because at the end of the day, who knows how money feels. Yes, you can feel excited about an unexpected income but when you run out of that money, you feel bad.

What he means is talking about it as if you already have that which you desire. Affirmations need to be a claim, almost like a command but in a way that feels natural to you.

Pay attention to the way you speak throughout the day. Think about how you would tell your best friend if right now you become a wealthy and rich person. How do you speak to them when you tell them the good news? This is how you claim and command your affirmation, by being natural about them.

“At Your Command” Teaching #4: Change Your Concept Of Self

By now, I hope you realize that anything you want, you can have if you are willing to do the work. Meaning affirming in your inner self and making your affirmations in a way that feels natural to you.

It is not enough to affirm you want to be rich over and over again. If you have a poor self-concept where you see yourself as in poverty, lack of money, not having enough, always in debt, and worried about making ends meet each month, then guess why you don’t have thousands of dollars in your account.

You need to revalue yourself!!! Get that self-worth deep-rooted in your subconscious and you will become everything you always dreamed of.

Become aware of being great and all the attributes that you admire.

Think about this as a scale. What weighs more? Your old reality where you are in lack or your new perception where you envision yourself as a rich person?

Another big secret Neville shares is to not speak with anyone about our manifestations, especially to those who don’t understand this big breakthrough.

The reason is they will only reflect your current concept of self, echo your fears and tell you that that which you desire is impossible to get.

“At Your Command” Teaching #5: Everything And Everyone Is You Pushed Out

This comes in hand with what I explained in the previous section. If your inner concept is X and you want to have Y, you must first lay the foundation of Y because the world, every person, and every single thing reflect that which you think you are.

Don’t focus on what you are seeing through your eyes and no matter what shows up. Go into yourself and dwell in the thing you want.

It is easy to stay in what you already are because you have no tangible evidence of your desire. But the only evidence you need is knowing in your consciousness you already are and have what you want.

You need to realize you are the only one who creates all things in your life. And although your reality is showing you the opposite of what you want right now, just stay true to your new self.

“I am” is the most powerful statement you can affirm to change your concept of self and the world that surrounds you.

Dwell upon the “I am”. Emphasize “I am” in each affirmation you claim and begin to assume the nature of the thing you desire. Because once it gets deep within you, everyone and everything will show up to your new assumption.

“At Your Command” Teaching #6: How And When Desires Come

It is not our job to find out how and when our manifestation will show. Yet, most people tend to worry about these.

We tend to speculate how we will see that which we desire. But the thing is, manifestation is perfect and has its own ways to show.

As is for when it can really show up in a couple of hours, days, weeks, even months but it will only appear after the foundation is set. This is accomplished when your new reality, your new concept of self, and new affirmations are rooted in the subconscious mind.

Another big takeaway from ‘At Your Command‘ is to start being grateful for what you want as if you already have because. It is in that moment when the seed is planted in your subconscious and if you dwell in that state long enough to overwrite your previous assumptions, it has to show and you will perceive it through your senses.

---

If you really want it, if you really desire it, you need to embody from now on that and that’s all you need to get your dreams.

I really hope you can read this little book yet packed with so much value and information to transform right now into the life you always dreamed of.

Don’t delay your new life, start right this second, claim your power and start affirming! Remember that the world is AT YOUR COMMAND!
