In Mental Diets, Neville Goddard teaches that our inner conversations—the ongoing, often unconscious dialogues we have with ourselves—shape our external reality. He emphasizes that:

1. We are always talking to ourselves internally, and these conversations dictate our life circumstances.
2. To change our reality, we must first change our inner dialogue.
3. Aligning our inner speech with our desired state leads to transformation.

Goddard explains that people unknowingly trap themselves in cycles of failure and disappointment by persistently engaging in negative self-talk. He introduces the concept of mental diets—consciously selecting only positive, constructive thoughts and conversations to feed the mind.

He shares a powerful example of a woman who was struggling at work due to her employer’s harsh treatment. She realized she was constantly arguing with him in her mind. When she revised her inner dialogue—imagining him praising her instead—the real-life relationship changed almost instantly.

The key takeaway is that inner talking is causative—our words are “sent forth” and return to us as reality. By controlling our inner speech, we gain mastery over life itself. This is the essence of the art of revision:

• Observe your habitual inner conversations.
• Replace negative or limiting thoughts with conversations that affirm your ideal state.
• Persist in these new dialogues until they feel natural.

Goddard asserts that the transformation of self requires inner discipline—monitoring and reshaping thoughts just as one would control their physical diet. Through this practice, one awakens to their creative power, realizing that imagination is the gateway to reality.

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...
