What are we made up of? What holds material bodies together? Is there a difference between terrestrial matter and celestial matter? When Democritus stated that we are made up of atoms, few people believed him.

I wholeheartedly endorse this book and believe it has the potential to resonate with listeners of all backgrounds and diverse challenges.

This book aims to teach you how to believe in and change your inner self — the imaginal you. Based on extensive study of Neville Goddard's work and personal experimentation, I present two key ideas: "There is no one or nothing to change but self," and "Whatsoever you desire, believe you have it, and you will." Each chapter explores this theme from different angles. Repetition is intentional, as sometimes a single sentence can trigger understanding. However, reading alone is not enough; these ideas must be tested with personal experimentation.
