What if the greatest distraction in your life is not what is happening around you, but what you continue to give your attention to within?
Neville Goddard’s Mastery Of Attention For Concentrated Focus explores the disciplined direction of consciousness through the principles of I AM, imagination, assumption, states of consciousness, the wish fulfilled, feeling, living from the end, conception of self, inner conversations, persistence, and revision.
This book presents attention as more than concentration. It reveals how consciously directing attention can withdraw creative allegiance from destructive ideas and establish consciousness in the state you have deliberately chosen.
Inside, you will discover how to:
Direct attention toward the wish fulfilled instead of remaining absorbed in absence, fear, or uncertainty.
Understand the difference between thinking about your desire and thinking from its fulfillment.
Use imagination as a creative faculty for entering and experiencing a desired state before its outward expression appears.
Understand feeling as the inward acceptance of reality, rather than merely attempting to generate emotional excitement.
Change your conception of self by becoming conscious of being the person for whom the desired condition is already true.
Transform inner conversations so they agree with the fulfilled state instead of sustaining arguments, rejection, failure, or fear.
Recognize how mental states influence the direction of attention and why repeatedly entertaining an unwanted state keeps it active in consciousness.
Practice disciplined attention by withdrawing from destructive ideas without giving them additional creative participation.
Learn to live from the end, allowing the accomplished desire to become the inward point of departure rather than waiting for outer circumstances to provide permission.
Develop persistence by returning repeatedly to the chosen state whenever attention wanders back to an old assumption.
Use revision to reclaim attention from past experiences that continue to support an unwanted state or conception of self.
Establish the wish fulfilled as the natural center of consciousness, allowing the assumed inner state to become the cause from which its corresponding outer expression follows.
Rather than reducing these teachings to modern psychology, behavioral conditioning, or ordinary positive thinking, this book preserves the distinction between consciousness, imagination, assumption, feeling, identity, and the expression of an assumed state in experience.
You will learn to stop feeding the states you no longer desire and deliberately give your creative awareness to the state you choose to be. Through concentrated attention, imagination, inner conversation, feeling, persistence, and revision, the book presents a unified approach to remaining faithful to the reality you have consciously assumed.
If you are ready to take greater command of where your consciousness dwells, to stop giving creative attention to destructive ideas, and to make the fulfilled state the center from which you think and live, this book offers a focused path into the disciplined mastery of attention.
Enter the state of the wish fulfilled, remain faithful to it, and discover what becomes possible when your attention is deliberately established in the reality you have chosen.
