At The Bird’s Way, we hold ourselves to a high standard of accuracy, integrity, and transparency. The spiritual teachings we share have the power to genuinely transform lives, and that power demands responsibility. This editorial policy explains how we create, verify, and maintain our content.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

All quotes attributed to Neville Goddard, Joseph Murphy, and Paramahansa Yogananda on this website are sourced from their published works, documented lectures, and verified historical records. We do not fabricate quotes, and we do not attribute words to a teacher unless we can trace them to a specific and credible source.

When quoting Neville Goddard, we draw primarily from his published books, including The Power of Awareness, Feeling is the Secret, The Law and the Promise, and Awakened Imagination, as well as his extensive body of documented lectures. For Joseph Murphy, our primary sources include The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, The Miracle of Mind Dynamics, and his numerous published works. For Paramahansa Yogananda, we reference Autobiography of a Yogi, The Second Coming of Christ, God Talks with Arjuna, and other works published through the Self-Realization Fellowship.

Content Standards

Every article published on The Bird’s Way is researched, written with care, and reviewed for accuracy before publication. Our content process includes verifying the source of all quotes and attributions, ensuring that the distinct teachings of each teacher are represented faithfully, and presenting spiritual concepts in a way that is both accessible and true to their original meaning.

Teaching Accuracy

We maintain the distinct philosophies of each teacher and resist the temptation to blend them into a generic spiritual message. Neville Goddard’s Law of Assumption is not the same as the popular “Law of Attraction.” Joseph Murphy’s approach to the subconscious mind has its own specific framework and techniques. Yogananda’s path of Kriya Yoga and self-realization follows a lineage and tradition that deserves to be represented on its own terms.

When we draw connections between these teachers, we do so transparently, making clear where their ideas converge and where they diverge. We believe that respecting these distinctions actually deepens the reader’s understanding rather than simplifying it away.

Independence

Our editorial recommendations are based on genuine experience and honest assessment, not on paid promotion or commercial relationships. When we recommend a book, a practice, or a resource, it is because we believe it has real value. If any content involves a financial relationship (such as an affiliate link) we disclose that clearly. Our editorial judgment is never for sale.

Corrections Policy

If we make an error, whether it is a misattributed quote, an incorrect publication date, a factual mistake, or any other inaccuracy, we correct it promptly and transparently. Corrected articles will include a note indicating what was changed and when. We believe that credibility is built through honesty, including honesty about our mistakes.

If you spot an error on our site, please contact us at [email protected]. We take every correction request seriously and will investigate and respond promptly.
