Neville Goddard
Neville Goddard was a mystic and pioneer of the 'consciousness is the only reality' philosophy. He taught that imagination, when properly directed through feeling, creates reality. His emphasis on the 'feeling is the secret' principle and techniques like SATS (State Akin To Sleep) revolutionised manifestation teaching.

The neuroscience behind Goddard's teaching
Neville's 'consciousness is the only reality' maps directly onto what neuroscience calls the Reticular Activating System (RAS) — the brain's filter that only lets in what you're already primed to see. His SATS technique is a structured form of hypnagogic theta-state imprinting: the same window that clinical hypnotherapy exploits because the critical faculty of the conscious mind is suspended. The 'feeling is the secret' insight is confirmed by somatic psychology — emotional states encode beliefs at a body level, not just a cognitive one. This is why affirmations without embodied feeling don't work: you're addressing the wrong part of the system.
