In Feed My Sheep, Neville Goddard explores the biblical metaphor of shepherding as a call to consciously rule and direct our thoughts. He explains that most people allow their minds to wander aimlessly, much like sheep without a shepherd, but true mastery requires feeding and disciplining the mind to manifest desires effectively.

Key Teachings

1. The Meaning of "Feeding the Sheep"

• "Feed my sheep" means to shepherd our thoughts deliberately.
• Thoughts, like scattered sheep, must be gathered and directed toward a chosen outcome.
• The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 illustrates that mental faculties must be actively developed—unused abilities atrophy like an unexercised muscle.

2. Israel is Within, Not an External Nation

• Neville interprets biblical Israel not as a geographic nation, but as ideas and desires scattered within the mind.
• "Jacob" represents our imagined desires before they take form in the physical world.
• "Esau" symbolizes external reality—the physical, visible world.
• To bring "Jacob" to the Lord means to assume and persist in the reality of our desires until they manifest.

3. Moving from Servant to Son

• The spiritual journey follows three stages:
  1. Servant – Learning to direct thought and consciously manifest.
  2. Friend – Developing a close relationship with the deeper self (God).
  3. Son – Realizing oneself as the divine creator, one with God.
• We begin as servants, proving our faith by demonstrating control over our reality.
• Once mastery is achieved, we become friends of God, communing with Him directly.
• Finally, we awaken to our divine nature and recognize ourselves as sons of God.

4. The Power of Assumption in Manifestation

• Seeing a desire clearly in the mind’s eye is seeing Israel.
• Occupying the state of the wish fulfilled is bringing Jacob to the Lord.
• Success is not found in the external world but within, through assumption.
• To manifest, one must move from merely seeing a desire to thinking from it—feeling as if it is already real.

5. The Role of Faith and Testing the Law

• Neville urges us to test these principles by consciously manifesting for ourselves and others.
• We can prove we are "servants" by bringing about small, tangible changes in our lives.
• Success in these small tests strengthens our faith and moves us closer to divine realization.
• To not test these principles is to bury our talents, like the servant in the parable who hid his gift in fear.

Practical Application

1. Choose a Desire – Clearly define what you or someone else wants.
2. See It as Already Real – In your mind’s eye, vividly imagine it as a present fact.
3. Think from the State – Assume and persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
4. Disregard Physical Reality – Ignore contrary evidence in the external world.
5. Remain Faithful Until It Hardens Into Fact – Continue assuming until it manifests.

ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:

Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. 

Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century’s most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.

Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of th...
