In 'Awakened Imagination and The Search,' Neville Goddard presents a profound metaphysical argument that human imagination is the sole creative force of the universe. He posits that the central figure of the Gospels is not a historical person but a symbol for the human imagination itself. Goddard asserts that all things were made by this imaginative power, and without it, nothing exists. The text challenges readers to abandon literal interpretations of scripture and tradition, urging a shift from a 'God of tradition' to a 'God of experience.' Goddard explains that man is either the ark of God or a phantom of the earth, depending on whether he lives by imagination or sense. He details the process of 'revision,' where one mentally rewrites past events to align with their ideal self, effectively changing the course of their life story. Through vivid personal anecdotes, including a miraculous healing of a foot injury achieved by imagining the event differently, Goddard demonstrates the practical application of these principles. Central to the work is the idea that the outer world is merely an outpicture of inner talking and consciousness. By sustaining the feeling of a wish fulfilled and matching inner speech to that ideal, reality hardens into fact. Goddard encourages readers to identify with their highest aims, noting that forgiveness of sin is the supreme test of this imaginative power. The narrative concludes with visions of perfection and the realization that the universe is a dream dreamed by the eternal self, inviting readers to awaken from the nightmare of materialism to their true, immortal home. He emphasizes that truth depends upon the intensity of the imagination, not upon external facts, and that facts are merely the fruit bearing witness of the use or misuse of the imagination. Ultimately, the book invites the reader to realize that Christ in them is their own imagination, the hope of glory.
