Neville Quote Date: June 17, 2011

 

WE MUST ACT ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT WE ALREADY POSSESS THAT WHICH WE DESIRE, FOR ALL THAT WE DESIRE IS ALREADY PRESENT WITHIN US

Prayer is the elevation of the mind to that which we seek. The very first word of correction is always “arise.” Always lift the mind to that which we seek. This is easily done by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. How would you feel if your prayer were answered? Well, assume that feeling until you experience in imagination what you would experience in reality if your prayer were answered.Prayer means getting into action mentally. It means holding the attention upon the idea of the wish fulfilled until it fills the mind and crowds all other ideas out of the consciousness. This statement that prayer means getting into action mentally and holding the attention upon the idea of the wish fulfilled until it fills the mind and crowds all other ideas out of the consciousness, does not mean that prayer is a mental effort – an act of will. On the contrary, prayer is to be contrasted with an act of will. Prayer is a surrender. It means abandoning oneself to the feeling of the wish fulfilled.If prayer brings no response – there is something wrong with the prayer and the fault lies generally in too much effort. Serious confusion arises insofar as men identify the state of prayer with an act of will, instead of contrasting it with an act of will. The sovereign rule is to make no effort, and if this is observed, you will intuitively fall into the right attitude.

Creativeness is not an act of will, but a deeper receptiveness – a keener susceptibility. The acceptance of the end – the acceptance of the answered prayer – finds the means for its realization.
Feel yourself into the state of the answered prayer until the state fills the mind and crowds all other states out of your consciousness.What we must work for is not the development of the will, but the education of the imagination and the steadying of attention. Prayer succeeds by avoiding conflict. Prayer is, above all things, easy. Its greatest enemy is effort. The mighty surrenders itself fully only to that which is most gentle. The wealth of Heaven may not be seized by a strong will, but surrenders itself, a free gift, to the God-spent moment. Along the lines of least resistance travel spiritual as well as physical forces.

We must act on the assumption that we already possess that which we desire, for all that we desire is already present within us. It only waits to be claimed.

ANSWERED PRAYER
Radio Lecture #03 - Neville - Station KECA, L.A.   07/1951
Located in 252 Neville Lectures to Change Your World 

Application & Questions:

"We must act on the assumption that we already possess that which we desire, for all that we desire is already present within us. " Kind of a catch 22. If we always look outside ourselves for our reality we always allow impressions from the outside to dictate the appearances to create our belief of what is possible. As we read the statement above from Neville we find this to be a turn around. Is Neville saying that if you already feel the desire then you already have it? Or does he add a component to it that makes it real for you? Is your desire present within you as you desire it now or not? If we are acting on the ASSUMPTION that we already possess of our desire do we activate the mind of God called the law and through imagining the desire as real –create it in the physical world? Try it on something simply. Try it on a nieghbor you want something good for. Imagine and assume it for them and wait. Go ahead and apply this principle – no one is looking,

 "How would you feel if your prayer were answered? Well, assume that feeling until you experience in imagination what you would experience in reality if your prayer were answered." Think of something you'd desire and what if that desire in prayer was answered completely for you? How would that feel on the inside? Which of your senses would be most excited to have this answered prayer? So go ahead and play with your imagination and experience what it would feel like that your prayer or desire is answered in your physical reality?

Would you feel warm? Would you feel yummy? Would you be pleased? Would you be relieved? Go ahead and take the time that you need to do this exercise within your imagination. What else would make it seem more real in your current physical reality. Let your imagination do the walking through your desire to bring it to you. Let your creative power activate the universal law to create the reality that includes your desire or answered prayer. Once you imagine to the point of realness ask yourself how real it feels and then let be once you feel it as real. Know that it is there. Let it be there in the physical reality of your life.

 Take one highlighted phrase or any other in this quote and use it as a mantra. Repeat it over and over. Read it over and over until it becomes so real you know it to be true. Take this through out the next week and keep it going until you know you create your world by your very imagination!

There is a Garden of Eden within you. Each fruit, vegetable, tree, mountain, stream, gold mine, silver mine is in your Garden of Eden. In fact your Garden of Eden is a place inside of you where you're always safe and secure. It could be in a well furished room or a beach front property where you resided to feel this within. Or it could be that you imagine a beautiful protective light all around you. Your imagination is your Garden of Eden when or where ever you are! Wrap yourself in it and wear it and dress it as yours. Its easy to imagine it to be really true –just believe in you and your dreams!


Neville Quote Date: June 02, 2011

IT IS IMPORTANT ALWAYS TO REMEMBER THAT THE PROPOSED ACTION MUST BE ONE WHICH FOLLOWS THE FULFILLMENT OF YOUR DESIRE, ONE WHICH IMPLIES FULFILLMENT

The first step in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objective – know definitely what you want.

Second: construct an event which you believe you would encounter FOLLOWING the fulfillment of your desire - an event which implies fulfillment of your desire - something which will have the action of Self predominant.

The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin to sleep. Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imagine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND NOW. You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that the imaginary sensation is real to you.

It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one which FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfillment.

For example, suppose you desired promotion in office. Then being congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfillment of your desire.

Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination to imply promotion in office, immobilize your physical body and induce a state bordering on sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are attentive without effort. Then visualize a friend standing before you. Put your imaginary hand into his. Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the FEELING OF HAVING BEEN PROMOTED.

You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a distance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune. Instead,
you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future NOW.

The difference between FEELING yourself in action, here and now , and visualizing yourself in action, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference between success and failure.

The difference will be appreciated if you will now visualize yourself climbing a ladder. Then, with eyelids closed imagine that a ladder is right in front of you and FEEL YOURSELF ACTUALLY CLIMBING IT.

Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action which implies fulfillment of the desire, to condense the idea into a single act, and to re-enact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality. Otherwise, your attention will wander off along an associational track, and hosts of associated images will be presented to your attention, and in a few seconds they will lead you hundreds of miles away from your objective in point of space and years away in point of time.

If you decide to climb a particular flight of stairs, because that is the likely event to follow the fulfillment of your desire, then you must restrict the action to climbing that particular flight of stairs. Should your attention wander off, bring it back to its task of climbing that flight of stairs, and keep on doing so until the imaginary action has all the solidity and distinctness of reality.

The idea must be maintained in the mind without any sensible effort on your part. You must, with the minimum of effort permeate the mind with the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

Drowsiness facilitates change because it favors attention without effort, but it must not be pushed to the state of sleep in which you no longer are able to control the movements of your attention. But a moderate degree of drowsiness in which you are still able to direct your thoughts.

A most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and drowsy state, repeat over and over again like a lullaby, any short phrase which implies fulfillment of your desire, such as, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” as though you addressed a higher power for having given you that which you desired.

I know that when this course comes to an end on Friday many of you here will be able to tell me you have realized your objectives. Two weeks ago I left the platform and went to the door to shake hands with the audience. I am safe in saying that at least 35 out of a class of 135 told me that which they desired when they joined this class they had already realized. This happened only two weeks ago. I did nothing to bring it to pass save to give them this technique of prayer. You need do nothing to bring it to pass - save apply this technique of prayer. 


CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE ONLY REALITY
Lecture Lesson #01 − Neville − Class Room Instruction   1948
Located in 252 Neville Lectures to Change Your World  

 

Application & Questions:

"It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one which FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfillment." So ask yourself what desire do you want to have happen in your physical reality? So think about that. So what would be an action that would immediately follow you having your desire? Would you take your boat out on the water? Would you embark off a plane in Hawaii? Would you put your toes in whaite sand? Would you take your helmet off after you parachuted from 10,000 feet? What would a natural thing be? Carry your new wife over the threshold of the hotel room in her wedding gown? What would trigger on the inside that you actually have nthe thing you desired? It's your story so figure it out and rehearse it over and over again. Then realize your own desires fulfilment as real and let it escape from the visual world in your head to the physical reality in your hands. Realize that the law in the Universe doesn't care about what your color, race, height, past, weight, status, position, or wealth clas your are in. Anyone who can experience their fulfillment before it happens in the physical reality and continues to believe will have their manifestation in thier reality come true. 

 "you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future NOW" What does that mean to you? The statement might feel a little woo woo to you. Let's examine it. You make something you want to happen with your desire right here. So even though your desire might be colonizing the moon you take that feeling or experience you desire to have and make it here within you. And you make it NOW. So there is no waiting to experience your desire. You do it in this very moment and live in that wonderful experience. The place where you have your desire as now naturally yours. You don't wait for conditions to line up. You right now line up what it feels like to have that desire inside of you and create or imagine all the conditions working perfectly for your good. You don't wait for the rules to change or for you to become a billionaire. You align the design you ahve and live on the moon in a colony. What would that feel like? What would it be like looking back at earth and seeing such a beautiful planet. Take your desire would it feel to experience right now? What would you be wearing? Who would be there? What would people be saying after your desire was fulfilled? So give yourself permission and bolt yourself into the emotions of the experience and leave it alone afterwards. Then it's done. Remember the law works whether it takes 10,000 people to bring about your desire or 1 million. It always works. 

 Take one highlighted phrase or any other in this quote and use it as a mantra. Repeat it over and over. Read it over and over until it becomes so real you know it to be true. Take this through out the next week and keep it going until you know you create your world by your very imagination!

You are part of this Universe. Just you being here shows all of us how important you being here is. You exist with us as part of us. You are the powerful wizard(ess) of feelings and thoughts consciously or not. You being here makes this Universe that much better. You being here makes our lives that much richer. If you ever doubt your existence and ask "Why Am I Here? Remember and know that you wouldn't be here at all unless you had an important part to play right now in this world. You couldn't even exist if you weren't important to the whole. You are connect to the whole through the law. Through your feelings and thoughts  for you are a creator of ideas, dreams, desires, passions, loves, and things. You can be whole you choose to be. Realize that the whole of the Universe is backing you up to be whatever you chose through your will and desire. You are linked to the farthest star and to the smallest atom in this Universe. Now what are you going to do about it? Make a life of your dreams? Or fiddle faddle around wasting your potential on self pity and noise of not being good enough!

Neville Quote Date: December 21st, 2010

WELL, CAN I REALLY BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE JUST IMAGINED? CAN I?

We are members of the Divine Body, all of us; and we share in that Divine nature, – the same Creative Power. Andmay I tell you? when you are clothed in that “garment” which you gave up, wherever you go, it is perfect, automatically perfect. You don’t have to raise a finger to make it so. It is perfect, because you are clothed in your Glorified Body.

So, tonight you dwell upon what you really are, and don’t turn to the left or the right. Don’tburn incense to any false god. “Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and then be silent.” What would it be like if it were true? Can you answer that? If you can answer that, then what was said in that First Epistle of John, the 5th chapter, the 15th verse: “If we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the request made of him.”

What a Promise! “If we know He hears,” – well, don’t I know what I’ve heard? Don’t I know what I’ve just done? All right; that is the One spoken of.

Well, can I really believe what I have just imagined? Can I? wellthen, I must know, now, if I am putting my trust in This One, which is my own imagination, – well then, I will know I have obtained it. It has already been done. Now wait for it. It’s done!

Like a shipment. I have complete confidence in a shipment coming if I have ordered it; so you order, and then you wait! It may come by slow freight, it may come by express, it may come by air freight; it’ll come.  The vision is maturing; “and if it seems long, then wait, for it is sure, and it will not be late.” (Habakkuk 2:3]

Application & Questions:

"Well, can I really believe what I have just imagined? Can I?" is a great question Neville asks us in this lecture. So how do we use this for your good? Take a minute and think about something that you recently imagined. Has it come to pass yet? Or did you just say I don't know if I can have that even though I want it? How can you believe something you imagined?

Well you have over 17 senses you can use to experience having what you imagined. Neville says to live in the end. Living in the end is where you already have what you desire as your reality. You think from the place of already having it. When you do this enough it becomes part of your reality and feels true for you so there are usually no barriers to having this desire as yours. You have to convince yourself that this thing you want is already yours. That is the belief part.

A vividly repeated experience within your body fools your sense of memory and gives you the future you have felt or sensed in your experience. And if you have the desire it belongs to you. I am not saying that if you want a particular model or hunk of a man that he or she should be yours. What I am saying is the feelings you want when you're with a person like that the Universe gets and delivers its with the person that would be the best for you.

Now the Universe has the best outcomes for you so be specific enough in what you want but don't be so specific that there is only one way to come to you and there is no room to bring you the absolutely best outcome of your desire. So if you want to be wealthier than you are then get in the feeling or experience something of abundance and opulence in your life now. Count your blessings, appreciate every bill, every penny, every bit of money you already have or have had and see how rich and blessed you already are!

Think of things you have access to that make you rich already. The roads, the grocery store down the block, the transportation, etc.. Imagine it as true, believe it is for you, and make it a part of you by repeating that feeling.

 Neville let us in on a great metaphor about shipping of how the law works for us.  "Like a shipment. I have complete confidence in a shipment coming if I have ordered it; so you order, and then you wait! It may come by slow freight, it may come by express, it may come by air freight; it’ll come." In the Lecture Order and then wait we get a great idea from Neville to think of it like a shipment we had ordered. Isn't exciting when a package is coming to you even though you know what it is? Wouldn't it be great instead of keep looking at your life and wonder "what is missing here" that instead you say would it be great if this thing happened for me?

Can you see that your in a different energy all together just contemplating having your desire. Your ego doesn't get involved because your just stating something you desire in a way that there is no resistance to having it. Try it. Now stop reading and apply this idea.

What do you want? A better marriage? A better pay? A better automobile? Wouldn't it be great if _____________ happened? Wouldn't it be wonderful if my husband would appreciate my house cleaning? Wouldn't it be terrific if my boss noticed the high results I brought to my work and paid me accordingly? Wouldn't it be great if I found the most compatible and attractive partner to be together with? Just writing these statements took me into a positive state of possibility. Why don't you go ahead and write one or two down for yourself and feel good? How you feel is what you create through your emotions of what you believe is true. Why not add some statements of possibility today? Go head you can do it! 

Take one highlighted phrase or any other in this quote and use it as a mantra. Repeat it over and over. Read it over and over until it becomes so real you know it to be true. Take this through out the next week and keep it going until you know you create your world by your very imagination!

Stop feeling valueless and start feeling valuable! you are not the grasshopper you might have supposed yourself to be. Break free from the idea your a body only. Your a spiritual being stuck in a body that you slave to take care of in this physical reality and yet you are so much more. Break through your limitations starting today. Go for it! Live the life you desire! Take it! Your the only one that can!


Neville Quote Date: December 18th, 2010

NOW, YOU START TO IMAGINE
AND
MAKE IT SOMETHING OF WHICH YOU CAN BE PROUD

A story was told me tonight of a man who had lost his wife at the birth of his son, and the child was taken to St. Louis to be brought up by his wife’s sister. This man had tried for seven years to get enough ahead to take a trip to St. Louis to see the child. He constantly tried to see himself getting a job with more money so he could make the trip. He was told that by the right use of this law he should only see himself with his child and let the way be left to God. Following this he was given a job that took him from Los Angeles to New Orleans. But that was not near St. Louis. He took the job and persisted in his dream, and in three months he was transferred to the St. Louis run and given a twenty-four hour layover there every week.

The best thing that ever happened to me was when I was fired from Macy’s during the depression. I might be captain of the elevators if I had stayed there. My father lost everything he owned, and that proved to be the beginning of the great dream he brought to pass. One person believed in him and he started on that, and when he made his exit last October, he had given to his community much that no one had ever given before. The blackest day of his life turned out to be the bright day of his life. No matter what you have done, forget it. You are God and God is untarnished, for he is all imagining.

Now, you start to imagine and make it something of which you can be proud. Makeit  big. If it is truly the stone being laid in Zion, do not turn to any argument of man.  You be faithful, and whatever you put on the stone as an imaginal activity will come into your world. Of  course, you may go back to the world of men, like Peter. He denied the stone three times but he did then return to it again. You may do that, but in the end you will learn, for in the depth of your being the words are being said: “Get behind me, Satan.” But I have seen people forget. I have seen them rise from nothing to great heights and then say: “It would have happened anyway.” They do not believe that their imaginal activity was the foundation on which they built that structure. There is only one stone and that is your wonderful Imagination. 

This works better if you do not try to aid it on the outside, for it is not flesh and blood that revealed it to you. You got it from the Christ.

THE FOUNDATION STONE − IMAGINATION
Lecture #300 – Neville  12/01/1959
Located in 252 Neville Lectures to Change Your World 

Application & Questions:

Neville asks us to "Now, you start to imagine and make it something of which you can be proud." What could you imagine right now that would make you proud? Your child winning the spelling bee? Your daughter gradating from college? Your friend getting his long awaited promotion? What could you imagine about yourself that would you proud? What would get you to be excited and proud? Now we're not talking about something that makes you feel better than others or that gives you an idea your so special no one else is important in this world. We're going to that place where you are proud to be a live and to live in the way you do that makes you feel good? Could you see prosperity as a way to be proud? What if you imagined opulence for your family or your work? Would that make you feel proud? What really would just make you feel really good that you imagined it? Go ahead now and do that!

 Neville states "This works better if you do not try to aid it on the outside, for it is not flesh and blood that revealed it to you." Now what does that mean to you? Does it mean that you never do any action towards your desire? Does it mean that it will come with any outside work? What does it mean to you? What does he mean its not flesh and blood that revealed it to you? Lest guess that he means that the desire you feel from the inside that made you want it in the first place isn't an outside trigger. So if it isn't triggered by the outside then it is revealed to you by the spirit within? Right? Okay now lets further assume that spirit is moved by feeling of a truth being claimed as real on the inside. Does that work for you? So if spirit brought to you from the inside why not receive it on the inside too? Well we like to think things come from the outside so we put the effort towards creating it from the outside with effort and struggle. Spirit doesn't know struggle or effort. Only our egos do. Now how do you do it on the inside once you feel the desire? Do contemplate it? Do you receive and revel in it? Do you play with as yours in your imagination and create a scene where you have it and in it?

Take one highlighted phrase or any other in this quote and use it as a mantra. Repeat it over and over. Read it over and over until it becomes so real you know it to be true. Take this through out the next week and keep it going until you know you create your world by your very imagination!

Your birth is a birth the whole of creation celebrates. You are here as part of the abundant universe. You are timeless. You are a major part of your community, state, country, and this Earth. Never doubt how absolutely amazing you are to the place that you are in. You are here on Earth by your choice. Stop doubting your worth. Stop undermining your value being here and start creating the life you choose–now. The light that you are can shine as bright as you allow it to be. You are a magnificent creator born to be whatever you desire! Look inward and find the strength that is always resting within. You can tame or surpass any obstacle or condition on the outside. You have all the power you need to create the life you desire. Don't forget you we're born from the I AM. And will go back into the I AM. You are more than your actions, thoughts, and deeds. You are the light and love in your world. Remember, who you are.


Neville Quote Date: December 15th, 2010

IF YOU KNOW HOW TO MOVE, AND REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THAT MOTION, YOUR WORLD WILL REFLECT IT AND NO POWER IN THE WORLD CAN STOP IT

The dream of my friend revealed an important fact, that he had learned how to move. If, during conflict, man could only move, the conflict would cease to be. God’s first creative act was to move upon the face of the water and let it be. Knowing that he illuminates and reveals the state in which he has placed himself, God moves upon the face of the water. If, tonight, you have a desire, it can be yours if you learn how to move. Through the years I have been trying to show you how to move, by bringing into your mind’s eye a scene, which would imply that you are where you want to be. If you were already there would you see the world differently? If you wouldn’t, then you have not moved. Motion can be detected only by a change of position relative to another state. If you move at the speed of light and everything moves with you, you haven’t moved. But if you let it be, and move relative to it, then by looking you can see a change in position relative to it and know you have moved.

Start here, in this auditorium. Look at the pictures on the walls, the speaker and the audience around you. Then feel you are moving toward the back of the room and you will see everything at a different angle. Now, your friends know your weaknesses and limitations. You share your fears with them and they share their doubts with you. The desire to move and the movement itself is an inward motion. Using the same frame of reference, move inwardly by seeing them differently, and allowing them to see you, not as they formerly did, but as you would like them to see you. If they are friends they will rejoice, and if they are not they will show envy. Whatever they are relative to you, they will express. They are your fixed frame of reference and confirmation of your motion.

Now, there are infinite states in this world, and man moves from one state to another either consciously or unconsciously. Hefalls into them knowingly or unknowingly, but regardless, he must reap the fruit of the state into which he has entered. That’s the law.

My friend had a fantastic experience. It began with conflict, but when it was over he walked through the one and only door as his squadron became one man, one he could not see while in conflict. Led to the rear of the house he discovers everything transformed into an infinite field of wheat in harvest because he has formed the image. Now, instead of seeing conflict, he sees only ripe wheat, baked in a golden glow.

He learned how to move and I ask you here, tonight, to do the same. Motion is not difficult, but don’t go from place to place. “Whatever house (state of consciousness) into which you go, there remain until I come.” If you know how to move, and remain faithful to that motion, your world will reflect it and no power in the world can stop it.

You are set free by learning how to move, and you will learn discipline at the same time.

THE PRIMAL WISH
Lecture #337 - Neville   10/24/1966
Located in 252 Neville Lectures to Change Your World 

Application & Questions:

What does Neville mean when he says "Now, there are infinite states in this world, and man moves from one state to another either consciously or unconsciously. " ?  What is a state you might ask? A state is a place where you exist as a reality you believe is true. A state is something you imagine as real consciously or unconsciously. Now how do you move from a state you where have been in such as poverty. You open your eyes to the reality of what is around you that is abundant, prosperous, and opulent. What surrounds you right now that fits that criteria? How is having something in your life abundant? Do you have access to a grocery s security? Is there a store with many items just waiting for you to put a little money down to get some of there massive inventory? Look at the abundance of choices you have to buy from and how many ways you can buy them with.  Opening yourself to see how abundance your life already has will then get you into a place of appreciating what you already have. And from this place of appreciation and excitement the universe feels your abundant feelings and rewards you accordingly. Now what else could be a state? Anything you assume possibly? How about safety? How about security? How about love? How about honesty? Any emotion you may describe is s state. Isn't that cool. And you can imagine any feeling, experience, sense of something as truth and the Universe delivers it to the outer door step of your reality! There are infinite states - so why not pick the states that make you feel good on a regular basis? Go head –you can you know.  

When Neville spoke "If you know how to move, and remain faithful to that motion, your world will reflect it and no power in the world can stop it." what did he mean to you? What motion do you need to know how to move? The rearranging of your mind? Your thoughts? Your senses? What do you need to move to create a desired state for yourself?  What has to move within you to accept a state that is preferred? Your imagination? Lets try this. I am going to have you pretend something. You now are pretending that you just won a lottery of 200 Million dollars. What would that feel like? What would you think first? Who would you tell first? What would you spend your first million on? Think about and feel what it would be like to have a check from the lotto people for that amount in your hands. Would you smile ear to ear? Would you quit your job or is it what you love so now you can spend time doing it even more? What kind of celebration would you plan for this wonderful event of having that much money. Now your having all this fun. Did you notice that once we stated you had maybe not physically moved in regards to this money but you have moved mentally. You now have it as possibility inside of you. That is moving. Moving from one state to another just by pretending to make something real.  

Take one highlighted phrase or any other in this quote and use it as a mantra. Repeat it over and over. Read it over and over until it becomes so real you know it to be true. Take this through out the next week and keep it going until you know you create your world by your very imagination!

There is the truth. The truth of you. Who are you is an incredibly noble presence inside a physical body. Beyond time. Beyond physical. You have always lived in one form or another. You are greater than the numbers in your bank account. You are greater than someone else breaking your heart. You are more powerful in your thought than an atomic bomb is in it's explosion. You are ever evolving what you do with what you are. Never forgot you mean something important to this Universe. You are a much bigger creator than you assumed. You are the earth. You are the fire. You are the water! You are the wind! You are the I AM! You arrival here learning what this means and embracing it each day you are aware of your powerful specialness!


Neville Quote Date: July 16th, 2010

DO NOT BE CONCERNED WITH THE HOW, YOU HAVE ASSUMED THAT IT IS DONE, THE ASSUMPTION HAS ITS OWN WAY OF OBJECTIFYING ITSELF


When we have learned to control the movements of our attention in the four-dimensional world, we shall be able to consciously create circumstances in the three-dimensional world. We learn this control through the waking dream, where our attention can be maintained without effort, for attention minus effort is indispensable to changing the future. We can, in a controlled waking dream, consciously construct an event which we desire to experience in the three-dimensional world.


The sensory impressions we use to construct our waking dream are present realities displaced in time or the four-dimensional world. All that we do in constructing the waking dream is to select from the vast array of sensory impressions those, which, when they are properly arranged, imply that we have realized our desire. 

With the dream clearly defined we relax in a chair and induce a state of consciousness akin to sleep. A state which, although bordering on sleep, leaves us in conscious control of the movements of our attention. Then we experience in imagination what we would experience in reality were this waking dream an objective fact.

In applying this technique to change the future it is important always to remember that the only thing which occupies the mind during the waking dream is THE WAKING DREAM, the predetermined action and sensation which implies the fulfillment of our desire. How the waking dream becomes physical fact is not our concern. Our acceptance of the waking dream as physical reality wills the means for its fulfillment.

Let me again lay the foundation of prayer, which is nothing more than a controlled waking dream:

1. Define your objective, know definitely what you want.

2. Construct an event which you believe you will encounter FOLLOWING the fulfillment of your desire – something which will have the action of Self predominant – an event which implies the fulfillment of your desire.

3. Immobilize the physical body and induce a state of consciousness akin to sleep. Then, mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, until the single sensation of fulfillment dominates the mind; imagining all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND NOW so that you experience in imagination what you would experience in the flesh were you now to realize your goal. Experience has convinced me that this is the easiest way to achieve our goal.

However, my own many failures would convict me were I to imply that I have completely mastered the movements of my attention. But I can, with the ancient teacher, say:

“This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize.” Philippians 3:13, 14

**************

Again I want to remind you that the responsibility to make what you have done real in this world is not on your shoulders. Do not be concerned with the HOW, you have assumed that it is done, the assumption has its own way of objectifying itself.  All responsibility to make it so is removed from you.

There is a little statement in the book of Exodus which bears this out. Millions of people who have read it, or have had it mentioned to them throughout the centuries have completely misunderstood it. It is said, “Steep not a kid in its mother’s milk.” (King James version, “Thou shalt not see the a kid in his mother’s milk.” Exodus 23:19).

Unnumbered millions of people, misunderstanding this statement, to this very day in the enlightened age of 1948, will not eat any dairy products with a meat dish. It just is not done.

They think the Bible is history, and when it says, “Steep not a kid in its mother’s milk,” milk and the products of milk, butter and cheese, they will not take at the same time they take the kid or any kind of meat. In fact they even have separate dishes with which to cook their meat.

But you are now about to apply it psychologically. You have done your meditation and you have assumed that you are what you want to be. Consciousness is God, your attention is like the very stream of life or milk itself that nurses and makes alive that which holds your attention.  In other words, what holds your attention has your life.

Throughout the centuries a kid has been used as the symbol of sacrifice. You have given birth to everything in your world. But there are things that you no longer wish to keep alive, although you have mothered and fathered them. You are a jealous father that can easily consume, like Cronus, his children. It is your right to consume what formerly you expressed when you did not know better.

Now you are detached in consciousness from that former state. It was your kid, it was your child, you embodied and expressed it in your world. But now that you have assumed that you are what you want to be, do not look back on your former state and wonder HOW it will disappear from your world. For if you look back and give attention to it, you are steeping once more that kid in its mother’s milk.

Do not say to yourself, “I wonder if I am really detached from that state,” or “I wonder if so and so is true.” Give all your attention to the assumption that the thing is so, because all responsibility to make it so is completely removed from your shoulders. You do not have to make it so, it IS so. You appropriate what is already fact, and you walk in the assumption that it is, and in a way that you do not know, I do not know, no man knows, it becomes objectified in your world.

Do not be concerned with the how, and do not look back on your former state. “No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

Simply assume that it is done and suspend reason, suspend all the arguments of the conscious three-dimensional mind. Your desire is outside of the reach of the three-dimensional mind.

Assume you are that which you wish to be; walk as though you were it; and as you remain faithful to your assumption – it will harden into fact.

Application & Questions:

 What does Neville mean when he says "Do not be concerned with the HOW, you have assumed that it is done, the assumption has its own way of objectifying itself." ?  Does he mean you should stop trying to find the how's and the way's to get what you want? Let's see if you start to limit the power of the Universe to "how" and the "ways" will it help you specifically? I guess it gets down to if you believe in it. Many people get caught up in the ways and means and stop living in the end where they have it energetically already.   The how's and why's of something creates limits to what is possible for the Universe - because you say or feel or imagine it can only happen this way. Let it happen anyway or everyway you want it. Imagine options. Lets use money as an object of desire for this example. Imagine the money you desire to come to you coming from checks people send you whether you know them or not. Imagine cash raining down on you while watching TV. Pause the commercial or mute it and imagining 10 tons of $100 dollar bills gently falling on your head. Imagine your bank account full of thousands upon thousands into hundred of thousands of dollars of excess money that is way beyond your bills, mortgage, rent, hospital bills, phone bills. Imagine greater than you ever have. As you imagine in good you desire in your life and let it live within you as a possibility you find it becoming real by your assumption that it is done.  Not working yet? Practice imagining from one of your senses until you feel it is real. That is the practice in applying Neville's words of wisdom!  

Now why do you think it is important to relax to the point of akin to sleep? Have you ever had a dream and woke up believing it is real? When you leave the critical mind behind and you find yourself drifting into a state that is akin to sleep you find yourself with opened ended possibilities! When you allow yourself the relaxation of living in a reality or point in time where your desire is already true you then experience it through one or more of your senses as real or true. When you relax the conscious mind and the outward senses you tap into the insiders mind where it is easy to believe you have something you don't because you are creating any reality in that state! Try just closing your eyes for a moment and focus on the desire you truly want. Let the noise go, the office sounds, the ringing phones and deprive your outward senses of your attention. Focus on what it is like living in the end with the desired object or person or place you desire to be. Let yourself freely associate what else would be there? Your friends? Your family? Your lover? Your spouse? Someone famous? What else would show to you that you have this desire? What would you say to yourself or another? What would you hear from the corner of the room? What would you overhear someone say that PROVED you have your desire? Jealousy? Excitement? Amazement? Thrilled you have it now? What can you feel, see, hear, sense, or imagine that would create a reality you now have what you desire? Experience having it even if it's for a few seconds. What if you could have this? What would it feel like? As you are in the place akin to sleep and then fall asleep after you have experienced this desire as real it blooms into a reality while you sleep. It brings it in the Kingdom of God within you to be acted on as true. Its just a matter of seed time until the harvest shows up in your world.

Take one highlighted phrase or any other in this quote and use it as a mantra. Repeat it over and over. Read it over and over until it becomes so real you know it to be true. Take this through out the next week and keep it going until you know you create your world by your very imagination!

Revel in your choices to be anything and anybody you desire. You wouldn't have a desire to completely transform or to just transform one part of your life unless you deserve and its given to you within.  Desire meaning has been known to mean" of the father".  Every person doesn't want what you want. Take a poll of your friends and ask them what they want to be? Each person has their own destiny within the field of unlimitedness possibilities available. That means you have the unlmitedness of any choice you choose today and tomorrow. You're not stuck unless you think or feel you are. Once you break free from those thoughts you have freedom to imagine whatever you desire. Whatever YOU DESIRE! No one can stop you or prevent you from imagining what you want! No one can stop you from creating the reality you desire as part of your life. You are as a God here on this Earth. You Create. You Feel. You Imagine through your senses or experiences and can bring the law of the universal to service if you just but will.


Neville Quote Date: May 31st, 2010

 

YOU MUST ALWAYS PARTICIPATE IN THE IMAGINARY ACTION; NOT MERELY STAND BACK AND LOOK ON,
BUT FEEL THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY PERFORMING THE ACTION SO THAT THE IMAGINARY SENSATION IS REAL TO YOU

 

Man, by assuming the feeling of his wish fulfilled, and then living and acting on this conviction, alters the future in harmony with his assumption. Assumptions awaken what they affirm. As soon as man assumes the feeling of his wish fulfilled, his fourth-dimensional Self finds ways for the attainment of this end, discovers methods for its realization.

I know of no clearer definition of the means by which we realize our desires than to EXPERIENCE IN THE IMAGINATION WHAT WE WOULD EXPERIENCE IN THE FLESH WERE WE TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL. Thisimaginary experience of the end with acceptance, wills the means. The fourth-dimensional Self then constructs with its larger outlook the means necessary to realize the accepted end.

The undisciplined mind finds it difficult to assume a state which is denied by the senses. But here is a technique that makes it easy to “call things which are not seen as though they were,” that is, to encounter an event before it occurs. People have a habit of slighting the importance of simple things. But this simple formula for changing the future was discovered after years of searching and experimenting.

The first step in changing the future is DESIRE, that is, define your objective – know definitely what you want.

Secondly, construct an event which you. believe you would encounter FOLLOWING the fulfillment of your desire – an event which implies fulfillment of your desire – something which will have the action of Self predominant.

Thirdly, immobilize the physical body, and induce a condition akin to sleep by imagining that you are sleepy. Lie on a bed, or relax in a chair. Then, with eyelids closed and your attention focused on the action you intend to experience in imagination, mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action; imagining all the while that you are actually performing the action here and now.

You must always participate in the imaginary action; not merely stand back and look on, but feel that you are actually performing the action so that the imaginary sensation is real to you.

It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one which FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire. Also you must feel yourself into the action until it has all the vividness and distinctness of reality.

For example, suppose you desire promotion in your office. Being congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfillment of your desire. Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination, immobilize the physical body; and induce a state akin to sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are attentive without effort. Then visualize a friend standing before you. Put your imaginary hand into his. Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the action.

You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a distance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune. Instead, you make elsewhere HERE, and the future NOW. The future event is a reality NOW in a dimensionally larger world and oddly enough, now in a dimensionally larger world is equivalent to HERE in the ordinary three-dimensional space of everyday life.

The difference between FEELING yourself in action, here and now, and visualizing yourself in action, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference between success and failure. The difference will be appreciated if you will now visualize yourself climbing a ladder. Then, with eyelids closed imagine that a ladder is right in front of you and FEEL yourself actually climbing it.

Desire, physical immobility bordering on sleep, and imaginary action in which Self feelingly predominates HERE AND NOW, are not only important factors in altering the future, but they are also essential conditions in consciously projecting the spiritual Self.

When the physical body is immobilized and we become possessed of the idea to do something – if we imagine that we are doing it HERE AND NOW and keep the imaginary action feelingly going right up until sleep ensues – we are likely to awaken out of the physical body to find ourselves in a dimensionally larger world with a dimensionally larger focus and actually doing what we desired and imagined we were doing in the flesh.

But whether we awaken there or not, we are actually performing the action in the fourth-dimensional world, and will in the future re-enact it here in the third-dimensional world.

Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action, to condense the idea which is to be the object of our meditation into a single act, and to re-enact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality. Otherwise, the attention will wander off along an associational track, and hosts of associated images will be presented to our attention, and in a few seconds they will lead us hundreds of miles away from our objective in point of space, and years away in point of time.

If we decide to climb a particular flight of stairs, because that is the likely event to follow the realization of our desire, then we must restrict the action to climbing that particular flight of stairs. Should the attention wander off, bring it back to its task of climbing that flight of stairs, and keep on doing so until the imaginary action has all the solidity and distinctness of reality. The idea must be maintained in the field of presentation without any sensible effort on our part. We must, with the minimum of effort, permeate the mind with the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

Drowsiness facilitates change because it favors attention without effort, but it must not be pushed to the state of sleep, in which we shall no longer be able to control the movements of our attention, but a moderate degree of drowsiness in which we are still able to direct our thoughts.

A most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and sleepy state, repeat over and over again like a lullaby, any short phrase which implies fulfillment of your desire, such as, “Thank you, thank you, thank you, “ until the single sensation of thankfulness dominates the mind. Speak these words as though you addressed a higher power for having done it for you.

If, however, we seek a conscious projection in a dimensionally larger world, then we must keep the action going right up until sleep ensues. Experience in imagination with all the distinctness of reality what would be experienced in the flesh were we to achieve our goal and we shall in time meet it in the flesh as we met it in our imagination.

Feed the mind with premises – that is, assertions presumed to be true, because assumptions, though false, if persisted in until they have the feeling of reality, will harden into fact.

Application & Questions:

 The first step to understanding using our imaginations is realizing what Neville is speaking about in this idea "EXPERIENCE IN THE IMAGINATION WHAT WE WOULD EXPERIENCE IN THE FLESH WERE WE TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL." What does that mean to you? In NLP a 1970's way to look at life they use the term "fully associated" which means that you are seeing it through your eyes instead of watch it up on a screen out there. In NLP they call that "disassociative." Both have their places depending upon what is going on with you. When you use your imagination being fully associative - coming from the place of having the reality you choose makes it become a real thing for you. Imagining it within is about surrounding yourself with the desire you choose in a very real, vivid, and active way. You burn the bridges to the past state you were in. You let loose the bounds of those past limitations to full include yourself in the new reality imagined as yours. You move into the state or desire fully associated in feeling, seeing, and hearing the experiences you would have if you already had the state desired. Its kind of funny sometimes when we find ourselves in some kind of drama. It seems so real. And yet once the solution is imagined and let loose into your world the problem dissolves as if it had never been. They only token of the drama is your memory of it. It doesn't exist outside of your memory ever.  So right now write down exactly what you'd like to experience in a desire or place you have not yet expressed as yours. Answer the questions of What, Who, When, and Where so that you create the mental conditions within to put yourself in the fully associated state of living the desire or state you'd want to be in. Once your list is made of the four W's then surround yourself with these imaginary fantasy of speaking with them, feeling you are there, talking with the person who would be there as if you were. Surround yourself with your present desire as if it was taking place and a living thing. Now do that again right before bed. Experience what it is like sleeping in the place you now desire to occupy as a living being. Repeat until you feel fully like you have it or it is within as a truth of you and let go.

 As you take on a new part in a new state living fully associated from the exercise above take the time to view yourself and others viewing you that you know as a changed person. When you change states expect ripples of good things to happen all at once for you. Sometimes many things happen that were waiting to happen because you may have never saw what was there. Once you change a state or have a desired realized imaginally or in physical reality you see, feel, and hear things, people, and life differently. You awaken to more of what is there and available to you that you have not ever seen. When you enter an altered state from your present view you can't help but be different which makes you feel different. When you experience more of the range of your potential you experience a quantum flood of knowing something you didn't in another state. Just the desire or state you moved into gives you another sight to see, another bell to be heard, or another feeling to be felt. You no longer can operate as you once were. You grew quantumly into another person as the desire expanded you to know another way. Once you know the old way and expand into the new way you can no longer operate your power from anything other than that expanded state. Now you can go back into the all too familiar state if you are to fall back asleep. Some people get all fearful of change and don't realize that you are always changing even if you seem to remain the same. In fact it is impossible to stay the same person ever though you may not be aware of changing. If you look back on your childhood memories you'll find something's you didn't like as a child you enjoy as an adult. Like you might have not liked spicy food as a child and yet as an adult you love spicy Mexican food often. As you explore this next state you are in if you open to expanding your awareness even further you might intend that to happen and look for what is now awake in the new state you've arrived in. Notice how different you feel living in a new state and notice how you have a new perception of who you are and what you can do. Just AWAKE to more of YOU!

Take one highlighted phrase or any other in this quote and use it as a mantra. Repeat it over and over. Read it over and over until it becomes so real you know it to be true. Take this through out the next week and keep it going until you know you create your world by your very imagination!

Expert opinions mean nothing if they interfere with the power of you. No longer accept any poverty of thinking to be your birth right! No longer choose despair in light of circumstances. Break free from the idea that you are not a powerful spiritual being having a human experience. You are powerful beyond what you'll ever discover. Give yourself a break and use some of the Universes power that flows through and to you to make yours and others life an example of lovely desires coming true over and over! You are all imagination and all things are possible to you! Dream big! Dream Often! Live In The End You Desire!


 Neville Quote Date: May 10th, 2010

YOU WILL KNOW THAT THIS WORLD IS IMAGINAL AND THAT AN ASSUMPTION -
WITH NO EXTERNAL OBJECT TO SUPPORT ITS TRUTH - WILL HARDEN INTO FACT WHEN ITS TRUTH IS PERSISTED IN

 

 

Fiction is defined as an imaginary construction which is unreal - as opposed to truth, or reality. But what is real and what is imaginary when, in a spiritual sense, all existing things are imaginary?

 

Mark tells the parable of the fig tree, which - having been cursed - was found withered to its roots. Calling attention to this fact, awakened imagination said: "Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart that what he has said will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you desire, when you pray believe you have received it and you will." Mark 11.

 

Here is an imaginary act which has no support in fact. The tree was not withered at the time it was cursed, but when they returned the next day the imaginal act had been executed. So you see: this law is not limited to being constructive only. It can be used for good, bad, or indifferent purposes; for there are no limitations placed on the possibilities of prayer.

 

Now when you pray you must immerse yourself in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, for the word "pray" means, "Motion towards; accession to; at or in the vicinity of."   Point yourself towards the wish fulfilled and accept that invisible state as reality. Then go your way knowing the desire is now yours. You did it and you will not be surprised when it comes to pass.

 

When you first practice this technique you will be surprised when it happens; but when you learn how to completely accept the state assumed, you will know you do not have to do a thing to make it come to pass, as the assumption contains its own plan of fulfillment. You will know that this world is imaginal and that an assumption - with no external object to support its truth - will harden into fact when its truth is persisted in.

 

If an imaginal act produces an external fact to support it, then is not this world essentially imagined? If you dare to assume what your reason and senses deny and walk faithful to your assumption, believing in its reality - and its corresponding effect is produced, can this seemingly solid, real world be anything other than imaginal? Everything is imagined, for you are God - all imagination! God exists in you and you in Him.

The world is all that you have imagined it to be, even though you cannot remember when or how you brought it into being…

 

… One gentleman recently interviewed on television said that Senator Kennedy was always talking about being assassinated. That when the shots rang out, he instantly knew that Kennedy was dead. You cannot entertain thoughts of being assassinated without experiencing them. Who knows who, unseen by mortal eyes, was treading in the winepress, influencing that young boy's mind!

 

Do not allow anyone to act as an intermediary between you and your God, for He is within you! God is never so far off as even to be near, for nearness implies separation. How can you be near God, when He became aware of being you? The moment He bestowed his spirit upon you, He gave you his consciousness, that you may - by that consciousness - understand the gift you have been given…

 

Imagination truly creates out of nothing! Thoughts call forth a thing that is not seen, as though it were happening. This is accomplished by an imaginal concept touched by feeling.

 

Hearing of the success of another and feeling their joy builds a structure which will project itself on the screen of space. Calling the projection reality, one may think it was created from the outside. But what happened had to happen as it did, for there are no accidents. Last night Kennedy could have used other exits but he had to use the one he did, for there is a time for every imaginal act to project itself, just as there is a time to be born and a time to die, a time to laugh and a time to cry.

 

THERE IS NO FICTION

Application & Questions:

 

So when you imagine something do you believe it is real or false? What is the difference between imagining something very vividly on the inside as an experience you had first hand and having an actually experience? You'll find it difficult to really know the difference between a repeated memory that you vividly imagine and one you experience. That is what is great about the law – is you don't have to experience what you receive on the inside in your current outside world to feel you have it! Your feelings lead you to take on the mental equivalent in the outside world.

Have you ever really desired to have something really really bad? And what did you do, feel, or experience to get it? Did you suspend the reality of the physical world so that you could have it even when it wasn't yours and there was no prospect in having it? Did you experience it as yours or part of your now-life even before you had the thing you desired? Did you imagine playing out its part with you? Did you feel it next to you in your reality even though it was still invisible to your physical world.

Now take something you have desired but have not as yet moved into your life. Change the way you relate to it. Stop thinking your missing something because you don't have it by imaginally having it in your experience. Start thinking from the end where you are now enjoying it just like that thing you really really wanted badly. Suspend the senses in the physical world and start spinning up the recorder on the inside of you and play that you now have what you desire hook, line, and sinker. Experience it as though you have you wanted so badly as something you now have in your life. What does it feel like? What would you hear if you have exactly what you wanted in its fullness? What would you say and to whom would you say it? What scene would be going on exactly so that you had no doubt you now have what you want right now? Exist in that until you feel it is completely yours and then let go of it as if it now is yours.

Take something else from your life. A situation, An obstacle. A circumstance that is unwanted. Determine what you want instead. Play out the exact words or visuals or feeling you'd feel if it were completely resolved. Go about and change internally first so that you have this as your most vivid expression possible. Know what you want and then accept as yours. Don't sell yourself short.

Take one highlighted phrase or any other in this quote and use it as a mantra. Repeat it over and over. Read it over and over until it becomes so real you know it to be true. Take this through out the next week and keep it going until you know you create your world by assumption!

Your only in this moment right now. There is no time outs. There are no pauses in your creating through your powerful consciousness. There is no one to blame for your failure to succeed in making your life exactly what you desire! Don't look to others for your inside inspiration. Seek out the God in you within your imagination! You'll find if you but give the I AM a chance to prove to you that you and he are together forever. You are born into a spiritual world where what you imagine and believe true becomes true. You alone have the key to this in your world. If you don't believe then you must practice Neville's principles and practice until you know for a fact in your world that you have the power and power that is way beyond any nuclear blast. You have the creative power that created the interaction of the nuclear power. As you seek more solutions to mans problems live in the impossible solutions. Live in the solutions are at hand within you. Live in the end where all problems of war, hunger, famine are gone forever! You have the power. Stop denying your power by choosing to exercise it lovingly on behalf of others. Try it – You'll Like it!


 Neville Quote Date: April 5th, 2010

CAN YOU BELIEVE YOUR ASSUMPTION IS
TRUE EVEN THOUGH YOUR REASON AND
SENSES DENY IT?

 

God is the great dreamer in man, bound in a deadly dream until he forms the image called Christ, in himself. Only when Christ is formed in man will he awaken from his dream of life.

 

Now, on this level you can be bound in a dream, too. Perhaps you would like to be a great artist. That is your dream, your image. How would you feel right now if you were? Can you believe your assumption is true even though your reason and senses deny it? Can you persist in your imagination, as the highest level of your being persists in his image?

 

We are told: "When you pray, believe you have received it and you will." Prayer is not a lot of empty words, but imagination braced in feeling. Every Sunday people go to church, say the Lord's Prayer, and come out of the building just the same as they were when they went in. Their words were empty, as no prayer was answered. Now they are going to stop praying to their demoted mythological saints, for that is all saints are. The 115th Psalm describes these so-called saints, and tells us that those who believe in them are just as stupid as those who make and sell them.

 

While here in this world, I asked myself how I would go about being the artist who could make myself into the image of a successful minister of the word of God. I knew I would have to start on the highest level by assuming I had finished what I was starting to do, and I knew I would have to remain faithful to that end, that image. This I have done.

 

The most creative thing in us is to believe a thing into objective existence. Can you believe that something is already objective to you, even though your mortal eyes cannot see it? Can you walk, drenched in the feeling that it is an objective fact, until it becomes so?  

 

That's how everything is brought into being, for all things exist in the human imagination, who is God himself. Imagination is the divine body called Jesus, the Lord.  If you are willing to step out, asking no one if it is right or wrong, and dare to walk in the assumption your image is true, it will come to pass.

 

THE ARTIST IS GOD

The statement Neville Goddard makes in the first highlighted section is "Can you believe your assumption is true even though your reason and senses deny it?" Many of us think it is hard to make assumptions and yet we make them all day long. We assume when we drive that the others drivers won't come into our lane unless its there is some cause like drunk driving or a mechanical malfunction. We set our clocks to get up in the morning to go to work because based on past experience we can find work like it was yesterday. That is an assumption.

In fact if you really examine your life you assume lots of things. We assume our grocery store will be there with food for you to eat. You assume they will have a basket to carry the food. You assume they could have reasonable prices. You assume they will take your form of payment you have. You assume that they will have a majority of items on your list. You assume there will be a checkout person or a self-help cashier station. You assume your car will start. You assume all the lights will work. You assume many things for such a quick errand. So we have established that you already assume much more than you have thought of before. What Neville is speaking about isn't about default assuming. It is specific assuming of a desire result though your senses so it isn't so. It is where the natural man leaves off and your spiritual man begins. So what would you like to assume in your world?

Write it down. What would have to happen on the outside to realize this assumption. Now imagine all those things start to happen imaginally. Now just stay faithful to that state before that state turns into reality. Practice assuming what you want. Go ahead. Give yourself permission to assume big things and also the little things you want your life to be made up of.

Now pick an image of yourself you'd like to have manifested or revealed to you in the outer world! Make it full of bright colors so it is a vivid image. Now enter into that image. Just like jumping on to the big screen in real life enter it as the main actor. Play with it. Feel yourself acting out the bright images on the screen. Feel like you have enter the world of your desire and be the hero of your story. Save your day by continuing to imagine what you'd like to be. Play with the brightness, the contrast, the speech. Make it seem more real by playing with the lighting, the script, the set, and the actors involved. See yourself be praised for accomplishing your desired goal. Live in that end until you feel fully awakened to that scene. Let that piece be of living your dream and let it happen for you now.

Take one highlighted phrase or any other in this quote and use it as a mantra. Repeat it over and over. Read it over and over until it becomes so real you know it to be true. Take this through out the next week and keep it going until you know you create your world by assumption!

Today count yourself as being lucky. Count your blessings with everything you have desired in your life and have created a physical reality of it. Feel grateful for ability to make your dreams and desires come true. YOU are the CREATOR of YOUR LIFE! Take it past the hunch of believing it. KNOW IT! You are here on Earth at this time to awaken to who you really are. You know your power. You use your power for the goodness of all of humanity. Awaken to the fact that you are called Wonderful! You are the savior of your world because you can imagine the end easily before you begin. You have the power where ever you are in your life to imagine and assume something new and different. You can enter into any state you desire in 30 seconds or less. Practice enter states and moods that make you happier, more alive, more joy-filled, and having more delight in your life! You can do this! Practice it!


 Neville Quote Date: February 19th, 2010

NOT KNOWING HOW IT WAS GOING TO COME ABOUT, HE SIMPLY PERSISTED IN HIS ASSUMPTION AND IT HARDENED INTO FACT

 

You can play any part - be it a rich man or a poor man, a beggar or a thief, the known or unknown - once you know they are only parts, only states of consciousness. But if you don't know this, and are not willing to give up your present state, you will remain there, looking at your desire and no from it. You can become what you would like to be in the twinkle of an eye by the simple act of assumption.

 

And the day you dare to remain faithful to your assumption, it will begin to externalize itself. And when it doesyou may return to sleep, just as you do in your night dreams. Becoming possessed by the dream you created in your sleep, you observe your own creation; and if it is a noble dream, you can become so puffed up in your own concept that you forget its creator. Or you can create something ignoble and become so immersed in it you believe in its reality. Anything can be created by a mere assumption. When I dared to assume I was the man I wanted to be, I did not discuss it with others; I simply persisted in my assumption and watched it harden into fact. That persistent act taught me that this world was a dream.

 

My oldest brother at the age of 18 had no money and no prospects of getting any. But he had a dream. He dreamed of owning a building which housed the family business. Twice a day, on his way to work and return, he would stop opposite a building which occupied an entire block at the widest area of the main street, and there he would imagine seeing the words: Goddard and Sons" on its marquee.

 

He persisted in this act for two years, when one day a total stranger bought the building for the family, trusting them to pay him back over a period of ten years. That building, which became the foundation of our family's growth, started in my brother's imagination. Having nothing on the outside to turn to, my brother had the guts to imagine and believe that his imagination would create his reality. Today I don't think you could buy the family out for multiple millions, because their gross business last year exceeded $30 million.

 

Do as my brother did and discover the depth of God in you. Test your imagination, for there is no other God. If you test him and discover that it is he who creates all things by producing tangible proof of his reality in what you did, then no one will be able to persuade you that what happened was a coincidence.

 

My brother lived by and built his fortune on imagination's foundation. Of course, having created such a vast enterprise he may go to sleep and believe his one thousand employees are the cause of his incredible wealth. We are all inclined to forget that we are the makers of all that is happening, and – forgetting - we blame our dream. The world is yourself pushed out; but it is so easy to place the blame on an aspect of self rather than on you, the dream's maker.

 

Learn to use your imagination consciously, for it will not fail you on this level or on the higher level. But you cannot depart this world by changing your thoughts. It will happen in the fullness of time, when the Father in you who fell asleep begins to stir. Then he awakens you, and when he does, you - Mighty God - will receive the name and carry the special powers of Everlasting Father, Wonderful Counselor, and Prince of Peace. And of your reign there shall be no end, for you will know yourself to be the Jesus Christ men worship outwardly.

 

The ministers of this world are talking about His coming, trying to interpret signs on the outside. But I tell you, Jesus does not come at the end of human history, for he comes individually. Tonight one of you could experience his coming. No one knows but the Father in you. Ever since that Father fell asleep all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation. So don't look for any change on the outside.

 

When the politicians promise change, don't argue; smile as you have through the centuries, knowing they aren't going to change anything. The world is made up of infinite states which man falls into unwittingly - or deliberately, as my brother did. He was a poor boy who deliberately moved into the state of wealth. Not knowing how it was going to come about, he simply persisted in his assumption and it hardened into fact.

 

I AM THE CAUSE

Application & Questions:

Application 1Have you ever not known how something was going to come about but KNEW it would happen and it of course did? The idea from Neville's "Not knowing how it was going to come about, he simply persisted in his assumption and it hardened into fact." can seem more like believing in a fantasy instead of believing in the concrete reality you deal with day-in-and-day-out! Not unlike the air you breathe in-and-out all day it comes from the invisible to produce visible results in your life.

What does persisted in his assumption mean? Did he continue to believe in the invisible day-in-and-day-out for two years until it became a reality for him? Yes he did. He believed he would have this reality even though it is not in the physical world for in his heart and mind this building he imagined as his would be in 2 years. Can you persist in a reality that everyone tells you that your bonkers to believe in BUT YOU DO IT ANYWAY? That is assuming a thing as true until it becomes a physical reality and the vibration within you of acceptance, allowing, claiming becomes harden with you then into a real fact in your world.

Look at any great project the scoffers laughed and then forgot they laughed when they see the reality that the builders continue to persist in. You want something? Want to be your truer version of yourself where you have peace, love, and happiness on going? Imagine it right now. Dare to Assume a new assumption for you by claiming you are who you decided to be right now. Your past doesn't define the creative moment of the now. You do. So let go and wildly abandon until having what you want in your persistent assumption. Listen you deserve it. Why not claim the desire you feel inside? IT'S YOURS IF YOU BELIEVE IT IS. Feel the claim as yours. Create a reality on the inside that "SHOUTS" you are this person you want to be and that you have this state you desire to be in. This world you have created is really about creating loving what you want from within, you might as well let it in.

Application 2

 So Neville really gets us going with this idea "You can become what you would like to be in the twinkle of an eye by the simple act of assumption." "A Simple act?" we complain. "That is not likely" we may scream silently to no one in particular. See may people have lost faith. Not faith in the invisible but faith in the promises of something better than what they have. The constant bell of the ego keeps saying "this reality is ALL THERE IS! Why try to transform when you'll fail anyway!" See we forget the ego is actually our allies. It would not have been created unless it serves a positive purpose for you. What is that purpose? To make all physical reality real to you. Could you imagine an Aware God walking around this Earth realizing it as a movie your acting in. It would defeat's the I AM's purpose in you if you KNEW at all times this is just a part you are playing. You'd be bored unless you forgot that you were God housed within your body. It is a grand illusion that we set up as part of our game to believe what we see before us is what is real. That way you can have a physical reality that you can expand through this point of view called you. You can take on the slavery of the body and TRANSCENDED it through a very ordinary physical reality you believe in. Did you know that everything you believe as true is either in your world right now or is on its way to you this very second?

So lets play a game with the human side of you–to prove to you that you truly are in a powerful assumption in Imagination. So for a minute just relax and imagine yourself lying on the a white sanded beach with clear blue water that you look out to the ocean at. You take some much need breathes of salt warm air. You rub your toes in the cool white sand. How does it feel lying here on this beach? Your personal concierge comes and asks you for your breakfast order. You smile at the abundance you now feel.

You shear splashing from the water. You look up to see dolphins in the bay your near playing with each other. you can't help but smile. The concierge brings back your favorite breakfast with your favorite drink. You sit up and put your sunglasses back on while you look out over the water while you sip your breakfast drink. Where you are is in a very secluded part of the world. A beach in your mind. How much more secluded can you get. See how powerful you are. Right here if you played with me on this quick journey you went to the white sanded beach and sat in front of clear blue water. Your created a reality within you a just seconds. Was it true? Yes and no. It was in your mind as long as you played along but once you opened your eyes and saw your physical surrounds you brought yourself back to here and now. Now go back and imagine that beach. Play with it until it feels real each time you visit it by making it brighter, the sounds more crisp and feelings of your toes more real by feeling the cool on them going into the sand.

Within you is a power genie called feelings that works for you when you keep to the faith of what is possible for you. There is unlimited potential and possibilities for you. You are an untapped resource of God. Will you believe that though. Many people find themselves with no faith in change that is lasting because they don't understand the ego. The ego is one of your allies and agents. It focuses on one thing the survival of your present state. Sure when you don't believe you can change your physical reality through spiritual imagining your ego may stay in auto mode. The ego's job is keeping you in the state your in. But just like a habit you do all the time isn't you nor is the state you constantly attach yourself to. And when you change the state you are in then the ego protects that states as the only existence there is.

You are a human being. Meaning you just have to "be" what you want and your ego with a little conviction on your part starts to integrate a new path for you. It doesn't know the difference between a lifestyle of being rich or poor or middle class. It just follows the rules of physical reality. What it sees in reality is real to it. If you understand that all you have in your life came from you focusing on it as yours or you were afraid it would be yours and then it became yours. Remember the universe inside of you doesn't understand the opposite of an idea. It only understands what you focus on as what you desire or believe to be true or what you think is. You focus on the fear of something and then it reveals that; because you selected it as part of what you believe could be in your reality. Listen the law is unchangeable. You will always get results by feeling something from your past or something new about someone or something. Always. Your energy is constantly flowing through the law and getting what you believe 24 hours a day. It doesn't care what you believe it just says "yes" to what it is and reveals it to you through bridges of incidents.

You can't break this law. Whatever you focus on as real in your world whether it be a fear or a positive consequence it will be delivered to you. If you believe you can have a Porsche and then you say right after that "But I probably can't afford it" the universe hears both your feelings. It might go about getting you close to owning the car but then you can't afford it. The universe listens to the language of belief of what you believe is possible for you. If you believe truly that you don't deserve something because you "sinned" in the past then that carries into your current vibrational mix and TA DA you never get the thing you might cherish the most. Why? Because you carried your past into the now as a feeling of "you don't deserve because of ______." Now the law doesn't see the past, the present, the future. It has no agenda of a timeline. Nor will it punish you for the past or your present because you did or didn't do anything. It has no memory so it has nothing to gauge your life with. The law does it exactly what your most dominate feelings are about your life and reveals it to you as true. It is only true because your believed it to be true originally. Your physical world is just a shadow of what you believe. Want to know what you believe just look around you. Whatever is in your life is in your beliefs as true for you. Exciting and scary at the same time. It means you can change it and that it is your ability to respond to what you think of yourself that it keeps giving you the world you live in.

The Law works with you exact how you feel and experience your world as true. So if you really believe you can accomplish something then you do. If you thing a thing from the past stops you because you did a very bad bad thing the law just feels you at where you are and gives you visible results. If your afraid of being caught at something you will be now or eventually. If you believe that some mistake in the past defines what you get in the law you are happy to say wrong. The law doesn't know your past. It doesn't have a judgement about it. it is not holding back all the good you can imagine. It see and feels how you feel about you. That is why Neville spoke often about the most important thing was how you saw yourself.

So how do you see yourself? Power-filled I AM that can select the reality you choose? Or an accident of the Universe? There are no accidental "human beings" in this world. Yes even those children who weren't planned for or even loved. You are here because you are very important to the scheme of this universe and you choose to be here. Pay attention to this. Have you noticed individuals today have more of a voice than ever before? Have you noticed social web sites popping up every where? Isn't that about creating individual voices that can be heard. Yes, even though some people take there status on Facebook and Twitter too seriously–each individual has a voice in their crowd. Most wealth is created by individuals or individuals and their small teams. Individual rule. Especially in the law.

So the law sees and feels your new assumption as true and if you persist in it then it will harden into a physical fact in your world. Don't take my word for it–test it for yourself. Find out that you create by what you experience as true for you even if it is a new assumption.

So look above and find your favorite highlighted passage. Write it down, cut and paste it. Put it on a 3-by-5 index card. Carry it around with you in your wallet or purse or pocket. Look at it and say it to yourself several times a day - out loud when you can. Have your partner spouse say it with you. Make this phrase a part of your life. Feel it. Experience it. Know it is who you are or what you can do! Live the phrase each day imagine this card phrase is a normal part of your life. That it is you. That all the potential of it is yours in its biggest promise possible. You probably don't realize completely that you are have an untapped power house as the expression of God within in. Start mining that gold mine by believing in yourself!

There is no effort so great to have the realization that you are the perfect expression of God as you. You have never been a mistake and no mistake you have made has consequences more than once. Keeping your eye on the targeted desire you truly want is where to focus your heart and head. You are utter magnificence. You are the creative genius who has 50 trillion cells lined up to do your vibration and hard it into fact. You are much more than you know. Let yourself get into that state and GO! Let the untapped expression of God out into the world as your desires and dreams. Let the passion erupt within to take a risk and have exactly what you lovingly desire! Let no day go untouched where you didn't imagine something better and something new for you or others. You have the POWER of God. Use it for the good of the world beginning today!

 

 Neville Quote Date: January 31st, 2010

  NOW, CAN YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR IMAGINATION?

The Samuel in you speaks, saying: "Those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me will be lightly esteemed." If you feel inferior towards anyone you are despising the name of God, which is "I am." Don’t let anyone make you feel little. They may try to do it, but only if you feel small already. If you don’t feel little it does not matter what or who they are. You may not have a nickel in your pocket, but you won’t feel little when you know that God is your imagination. You can’t be more than God, so you are God. Do not walk the earth in an arrogant way, but never let anyone put you down.

 

I was born on a little island called Barbados. The island is just like a large farm, where everything is planted in order to produce a dollar. We planted sugar cane from which we received its produce of molasses, rum, etc. When I was a child we had no chemical fertilizers. The animal products called manure were used to put life back into the fields. When we would scatter this on the field to fertilize it, we would call it broadcasting. (This was long before telephones, radio, or television.) Now we have a broadcasting industry which tells us that we will lose our hair, teeth, and everything, if we don’t buy a certain product. Isn’t that BS? And then from BS they go to MS - that’s more of the same thing as it's piled higher and higher. That’s the world, so let no one here make you feel little. You are God! He is buried in you as your own wonderful human imagination.

 

In the 13th chapter of II Corinthians, Paul invites you to test God, saying: "Come, test yourself. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?" That’s quite a challenge. If Jesus Christ is in you and you know he is your human imagination, which you believe creates reality, you can test him by imagining that you are what - at the moment - your reason denies and your senses deny.

 

Now, can you believe in your imagination?  Can you awaken your faith in the true God who is your human imagination? Try it. Walk as though you were the person you desire to be. Ask yourself how you would feel if it were true, for feeling creates life. This is brought out in scripture. We are told that Isaac was blind when he said: "Come close, my son, that I may feel you." He could not see what he was assuming, so he sought the feeling. Throughout scripture you find the blind father calling his son to be felt and touched. When Joseph placed his sons before Jacob (who admitted being blind), he crossed his hands as he blessed the boys, then justified his act.

 

Now I ask you: what would the feeling be like if your desire could be felt? How would you feel now if you were the man you want to be?  Catch the feeling and believe in Jesus Christ, knowing he is your imagination. Everything is possible to imagine, but it takes faith to create its reality.  Just as I said earlier: first you must hear then acceptance will come through faith.

 

How can men call upon him in whom they have not believed? The average person does not believe in himself. Before I wrote the first chapter in my book, Your Faith is Your Fortune, I wrote one little line saying: "Man’s faith in God is measured by his confidence in himself." I can’t tell you what criticism I have had because of that statement; but it’s still there, for I know it is true. Your faith in God is measured by your confidence in yourself, because your true self  is God. So, how could a man call upon himself when he does not believe in himself? And how can he believe when he has never been told? And how can he be told unless there is a preacher? And how can there be a preacher unless he is sent? So one who has experienced scripture is sent, as I have been sent.

 

So I say to you: you don’t owe anything to anyone because God Himself became you. Even though you can’t pay rent and you haven’t eaten much today, within you is the being who owns the universe, who created and sustains it. His name is "I am.” Rather than calling upon his name, call with his name, by saying: "I am free, I am wealthy; I am rich, and I am healthy." The "I am" that you are is the creative power of the universe.

 

THE AWAKENING OF FAITH

Lecture #146   Neville - 11/28/1969

Neville Lectures To Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

So have you ever felt small within your life or this world? Most of us have. Neville has spoken about feeling like a grasshoppers, have you ever felt that way?  Sometimes unemployment, relationship break-ups, business failure, prices rising faster, friend betrayal, the economy, or other conditions or challenges that aren't conducive to you choosing your happiness just because you think or believe these things are giants in your land. As we get into the first highlighted message Neville is telling us don't let anyone make you feel little. Now that includes yourself. Many people set themselves up as the authority or expert or law in your life. For me I thought anyone who was older than me was wiser than I was. I later discovered as I got older that wasn't necessarily true at all. I treated my self as a grasshopper where I where I believe that I mattered very little to this world. Have you found someone who encourages you to feel bad often – a friend, family member, boss, ex-spouse, current spouse?  See when you realize that you are God individualized with all the power that the I AM would have you realize that you are a giant in your own life and land. Right now if you feel like a grasshopper or small or little in your life STOP! Start to realize that the POWER of the UNIVERSE is flowing through you! That using your imagination consciously with positive purpose will change your life and you truly feel that you are an unlimited giant!

Just imagine that you are God trapped in your present body. What if you just found out you did this to yourself to expand and have more fun? That being God you knew everything, every when, every nook and cranny and got a little bored a little?  Just suspend the idea that you are not god for the next few minutes. Entertain that you truly are in control of your world by what you think and fell on a regular basis and you create your world with what you really believe as true.

What if it were really true that you are God right now in your body exactly the way you are.  How big would you feel? What if you are the God of your world and what you ultimately imagine and feel is what comes from the invisible to the visible? What if you had to allow yourself to take the elements you set up before you got to your body so you could rise to an unlimited potential? That you could expand beyond what you believed to embrace a new reality. To make any assumption and it could become a reality in your physical world from the unseen world. Really get who you are in this assumption of the real you.

"Now I ask you: what would the feeling be like if your desire could be felt? How would you feel now if you were the man or woman you want to be?" So what would it truly feel like if you were the man or woman you want to be? Would you be rich? Generous? Fun? The Life of the Party? What would your life be like for you if you had what you

Wo
uld you have a maid? A driver? Freedom? A business you love? An automatic income? What and how exactly would you describe your life to someone else if you had what you wanted as part of your life? Would you helicopter to the Hampton's? Would you fly your jet to the Hawaii Islands? Would you grab your yacht in the Florida Keys and go down to the Caribbean Islands? Would you travel all over the world? What would you do if all that you had to do is get into the state and feeling of what you want and then just let it man-i-fest from the invisible? What if it was that simple? So right now imagine what you want. Okay hold on or claim one thing as part of your life that you want but yet do not physical have – how would that feel? How would you describe that feeling to a friend, a lover or a family member? How would it feel to have them acknowledge you as having what you want right now? Feel it. Which sense do you stimulate that makes it more real?

Seeing it? Hearing it? Feeling it? Smelling it? Tasting it?  Find what works or combined them to experience what you need to so you persuaded yourself that it is true for you. Sit in that state and feel you have it. Have fun with this. Be playful. Be curious what else you could combined to make it easier and more fun? What else could you add to make your life more full of bliss? What else would make you so happy you do a "happy dance" every day? You make it up so just make sure it is fun for you.

Just take a minute and say " 'I am free, I am wealthy; I am rich, and I am healthy.' doesn't that feel good? Or did you have another reaction from your body? Your ego? Your Mind? Remember that  "The 'I AM' that you are is the creative power of the universe." Let that in. Let that be your realization this day or this week. Let in that you create by your words internally and externally. Just assume it for 30 seconds. Then for a minute. Then for another 30 seconds. Then another minute. Let it sink in that you are in control of what you believe and what you tell yourself! Be playful with all of this – DO NOT take it into being a serious matter. Make it a playful matter where you feel the flow and joy of having what you want as yours already.

If you don't first succeed do what the "I think I can! I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!" phrase and allow that to be possible in your believe system. Find yourself relaxing around this so you access the lower brain waves that you can program through. Being playful is like a child and will open you open you up to being a child mind. Let your mind fall into alpha brain waves so you can easily program the assumption into it. Let it sink into a relaxed space and let it go down in your mind to feel that state of accomplishment of 'I am free, I am wealthy; I am rich, and I am healthy.'  Have fun with it!

You are God and the rest your just making up! There is not another person in this world who can express being you! You are unique and that uniqueness is very good. This world has so many good things because you and I are not the exact same. You express yourself uniquely. You believe uniquely. You are the rarest of rare just being you! You can imagine anything you desire and feel it to be true and if you hold on to that it will come true. You are a powerful creator of your world. Destined for an open slate of unlimitedness, going from one level to the next. Riding the waves of "states" powerfully, consciously, purposefully, and with your unique flare. No one can be you. Your it. Now let yourself become the things you desire that makes you feel wonderful! Remember you are the gift. You are the rarest of rare diamonds on this earth. Now shine!

 


 Quote Date: January 1st, 2010

YOUR TRUE ENVIRONMENT IS IN YOUR IMAGINATION!

 

Your true environment is in your imagination! All that you behold, though it appears without, it is within, in your imagination - of which this world of mortality is but a shadow. No matter what is taking place on the outside, it is but a symbol telling you what is taking place within; for the world is nothing more than yourself pushed out. Its image, alive in your imagination, overwhelms you.

 

Tonight let us turn to the greatest of all books, the Bible. In it we are told that at the end of the world there would be a great war whose final battle is called “Armageddon”. You may have been taught that this battle will take place on the outside, as races battle races, and nations battle nations. It doesn't mean communism against democracy or socialism against capitalism. There will always be wars and conflicts; but the battle of Armageddon is the battle of ideology. This battle does not take place on the outside, but within each and every individual

 

Armageddon is the battle of ideologies, where belief is pitted against belief. I can't tell you how shocked I was to discover that the Christ to whom I prayed was within me. Scripture teaches, "Christ in you is the hope of glory," but I didn't take that statement literally, for I was taught to look for Christ on the outside. I could find no conflict in that Christ

 

I cannot tell you of the shock that comes when all of the beliefs by which you have lived come tumbling down. You will no longer be able to turn to anyone on the outside to praise or blame for what is taking place in your world. If it is unlovely, you are its cause. If it is lovely, you are its cause. Everything unfolds within you, and you are detached from what takes issue; yet you know you are its cause, for as the word of truth erupts within you, it sets one against the other. The word is not confined; but when it comes - as it has in me - I bring the new wine which the old bottle cannot contain. The old garment of belief is ripped and you cannot put a new patch on an old garment. As the world erupts around us, we may wonder what is taking place and ask ourselves if we have lost control of our children, as they are so different now

 

We can say all kinds of things, justify our actions and beliefs - that is our right. On occasion I find myself sucked into the same stream and pass an opinion not based upon the truth that has erupted within me; so I can't judge another. I can only say; when you see these things, rejoice, for He has come. His coming brings a new idea, which will disturb the traditions of men; and - living by man's traditions - you will see the disturbance on the outside, but it is in you…

 

…In the meanwhile, take what you know of this law, and use it towards your own personal good fortune in the world of Caesar. It's simple. Go to the end and assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Don't ask anyone to help you. Ask no one if it is right. If you like it, assume you have it. Remain faithful to your assumption, and that Being who is going to erupt in you will take you to that end. If you find yourself moving from your fulfilled desire, go back to it, and once more assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Do this and your assumption will harden into fact

 

 

THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON

Lecture #118 – Neville    05/06/1969

Neville Lectures To Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

As you look at your world you'll find an interesting thing. You'll find each persons life around you will interact differently and be different according to each individual. Each person has their own set of different problems and challenges that they have that will be different than you. When you realize that each individual creates from the inside to the outside you'll find this to be common sense. Think on this statement: If it is unlovely, you are its cause. If it is lovely, you are its cause.

Isn't it interesting when you have complete control over your imaginings that whatever you bring into your world whether it be unlovely or lovely that you are its cause. Think about the last few weeks did something lovely or unlovely come into your life? Can you trace the thoughts or feelings of you believing it was possible for you in your world to have? Did you entertain the thought or feeling in your senses that it could be part of your world in any way. Recently I saw a show feature Rodney King who was beat by the police and was video taped. The one that once the verdict came down the streets of Los Angeles errupted in violence. In an interview with Dr. Drew on VH1 show Rehab with Dr. Drew told us an interesting story. In the interview he confessed that he expected and knew he was going to be beat before got pulled over. Now this isn't about blaming him – it's about learning that when you know something as an imagining on the inside that the police officers who lined up vibrationaly couldn't help fulfill this reality. It gets back to "If it is unlovely, you are its cause. If it is lovely, you are its cause." Find how you are causing your lovely or unlovely world!

Take one or more of the highlighted sayings above and revisit it by copying them down on Index card or a piece of paper you carry with you and read it at every opportunity you have. Do it until it sinks deeply inside of you and becomes a part of your consciousness. Try it. You'll like it!

As I looked at this wonderful sentence "Your true environment is in your imagination!" which I actually found in the new book of Neville's lectures we are working on – I found it by chance in the above lecture. Interesting how I found this after contemplating the message and wishing inside that I could send this message out sooner verses later when we start doing the book quotes. And it shows up in my life after I thought it would be terrific to share with Neville Quotes members. So it proved itself in my imaginings without effort. Without sacrifice. Without pushing or pulling it. I did it by having a sweet wish for the members of Neville Quotes to be blessed with this idea.

Now its your turn to contemplate it. "Your true environment is in your imagination!" What does that mean for you? If you have read Man Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl you'll find that he discovers that how you take things had to do with what you had inside.

Viktor says in his book paraphrased that if you had a reason to live or a belief that the suffering that was being caused by the jailers would have or had a purpose then they had a huge chance of living longer and creating a better life in the prison.

Now why don't you suspend your belief that there is an environment on the outside of yourself for a few minutes. What if this idea was applied to your life? That "Your true environment is in your imagination?" Would you see your environment, conditions, circumstances to be out of your control any longer?

What if by imagining a new environment, a new condition, a new circumstance that like a dream would come into your outer world? What would you now imagine into your image landscape? What pictures, images, sounds, voices, feelings, and experiences would you put in your landscape builder? Suspend any disbelief or false beliefs that you are not HE who is maker of your world and let your joy be full BY imagining your ideal and accepting it. Pretend if you have to. Just through yourself in this world that would produce for you a joyous moment, day, month, year, or even a decade.

It's so amazing that you can imagine anything good to come to you on the inside! Imagine all the good you choose to stand coming into your world through using this imagination environment! Now reading these words will inspire you and now you must let yourself experience this profound awareness of being by providing your inner landscape with a path to your ideal and let it arrive in its time. You learn by applying it much faster than just reading it. Have fun with it!

Know you are all imagination! Know that what you decide in your heart with passion or fear comes to you in spades whether you consciously choose to or not. You are the operator of your imagination landscape. You can claim all the good you desire as you allow it to be a part of your world! You alone control your imagination, your focus, your environment, your world! Imagine 2010 to be the one that surely makes your life the happiest, loveliest, joyous, and amazing year you have ever had ever!

 


 Quote Date: December 18th, 2009

All you have to do is to  decide within yourself what you want . Now, what would you do if it were true?

 

Well, then, now – this very instant, you desire happiness in marriage. You say, “Well, there’s not one person in my world that is eligible. I know no one.” You don’t have to know anyone. All you have to do is to  decide within yourself  what you want. Now, what would you do if it were true? Would you wear a ring on the one finger that would imply that some one placed it there? one that you admire? Well, then, wear it there. Don’t wear a physical ring. Put it on just as though he had placed it there, and sleep feeling that which you are feeling is real. Don’t say, “It’s all imagination.” Certainly it is, because all imagination is Christ, therefore, it’s all reality. So, when you say, “That’s only my imagination,” well, you are just saying, “That’s only a thing called Christ when you treat imagination that way.

Is there anything in this world that wasn’t first imagined? Name one thing or point at one thing in this world for me that is now considered to be real that wasn’t first only imagined. What is now proved was once only imagined. Therefore, this is a true statement, “All things were made by Him.” (John 1:3) and He is your own wonderful human imagination. All objective reality is solely produced through imagining. The clothes you wear, the chairs on which you are seated, this in which we are now placed – everything was once only imagined.

Now tonight, find out exactly what  you – not what  they think you ought to want – what  you want. Ask no one’s permission. You don’t need any one’s permission; you only need your own decision. What do I want? Now, what would it be like if it were true? Now catch the mood, and try to give that mood all the sensory vividness of reality – all the tones of reality, and then sleep in it just as though it were true. And then await the inevitable.

The inevitable is that you are going to resurrect it and objectify it on the screen of space, and then the world will call it real,  and they may not believe you. It doesn’t really matter. If you tell them it came to pass because you simply imagined it – no, they will point to the series of events that led up to it, and they will give credit to the bridge of incidents, across which you walked towards the fulfillment of that state, and they will point out some physical thing that was the cause. No, the cause is invisible, for the cause is God, and God is invisible to mortal eye.

Who knows what you are imagining? No one knows, but you can sit down and imagine, and no one can stop you from doing it, but can you give reality to the imagined state? If you do, yes, a bridge of incidents will appear in your world, and you’ll walk across some series of events leading up to the fulfillment of the imaginal state. But don’t give causation to any physical step that you took towards the fulfillment of it.

You imagine yourself having a marvelous business, and then comes the day a building is for sale and you haven’t a nickel towards it, and a total – not a total stranger, but a man comes in and asks you quite in a friendly manner, “Are you going to buy it?” And knowing you don’t have a penny, you say to him, as would a friend to a friend, “With what?” And then he says, “Well, I have money. It’s only in the bank drawing nothing.” You say, “Well, I have no collateral.” But he says, “I’ve watched you. You are an honest person, your family – they are honest – I think they are. Would you like me to buy it for you and get my lawyer to bid for it? If they knew that I am bidding, they know that I have money, they will bid me up, and so I’ll get it at the very lowest price by getting a lawyer who represents more than one client, and they do not know whom he represents, and he’ll bid for it. Are you willing to take it, regardless of the price?” and you say, “Yes, I’ll take it, but I have no collateral.”

“All I need is your signature that you will simply pay six percent of whatever the price is, and then reduce that principal over a period of ten years. Agreed?”

“Yes.”

“Well, then, sign this, and we’ll see if we can buy it.”

That day you own the building, and you don’t have one nickel when you own the building that day! You only had your signature on a piece of paper. At the end of 10 years you repay the man his principal; you reduce it every year, pay him six percent on the remaining principal, and reduce the entire thing at the end of ten years.

The man died twenty years later and leaves you $150,000 in cash, tax free, and a couple of homes, many personal belongings. In the meanwhile, you continue in that business, and it multiplies and multiplies, and that year was 1922 – and 1924. This is now 1968. That building – I’m speaking factually – that building in 1924 is now gone. He paid only $50,000 for it. It was repaid and repaid. A bank – three years ago bought the property – the building was rotted – bought the property for $840,000 in cash, and no capital gain – from $50,000 to $840,000. Meanwhile, the business has expanded into all the other islands, so that today you couldn’t buy them for $15,000,000. All in imagination! And this goes back to the imagination that preceded this man’s offer to buy the building; for the young man, seeing this building and entertaining the thought that the present owners deceived his father, and through deception got him out of a partnership – a junior partnership. And he was moved – not to get even, but to prove that he really had something within him and could be a success in spite of this deception.

So, every day he would see on that marquee, not their name, but his own family’s name, and he would see it in his mind’s eye, because you could not take their name and transliterate it and make it spell this man’s family’s name, but he saw it. In his mind’s eye he saw that name, which if true would imply the family owned it. He did it every day, twice a day, for two years, and then came this sudden – out of the nowhere, and the whole thing was made possible, and today they are all over the islands, and they have no partners. They have never taken in one partner, never sold one bit of stock outside of the family ownership. All by imagination!

Now, I know what I’m talking about because I’m a member of that family. I am speaking of my own family. This is not hearsay. I know it. My second brother, Victor, in whose imagination this whole thing began to bloom – and he still works all by imagination, he knows what he wants – and then, after having decided in himself, “ That’s what I want, and that’s good for the business, he then, in his mind’s eye, appropriates it, and then lets things happen.

LIVE IN THE END

Dare To Assume Lectures and Workshops

 Application & Questions:

So if you know what you want–what who do if it were true? How would you act if you now had what you wanted? Would be more loving? More generous? More happy? What would you feel if you wanted was actually true in your world now?

If you really think back over your last year or two you'll find many things that you felt, feared, believed would happen were created in your world. Do you realize that your imagined outcomes came true especially when you emotionalized the thoughts you had thought with key senses of feeling, hearing, seeing them all before they happened. You must notice you experiencing life not as a uncontrolled accident but a cause and affect world. You desire or fear and you experience something before it ever exists in your world. Then it comes to pass and you say "See, I knew it was going to happen!" Nothing is left out from what you believed would be true for your world. It all gets manifested one way or another! Your internal world is the cause. The effects are the conditions, circumstances, and situations move into matter for you.

Take one highlighted saying above and revisit it by copying it down on Index card or a piece of paper you carry with you and read it at every opportunity you have until it sinks deeply inside and becomes a part of your consciousness. Try it. You'll like it!

 Open to your power of you actually causing your life 100% just the way it is because you do. This isn't about finding someone to blame–it is about realizing who can take back the control of your imagination and feel something new, imagine something brand new to create the reality YOU desire! You imagine – You create! You believe something will happen – You manifest that happening from the inside. You may forget you imagined it but the Universal Law does not – it will be fulfilled whenever it is possible. You create reality whether it be consciously or by habit – you still create it all from within! Own it!



 Quote Date: December 8th, 2009

Now you must move from the desiring state to the state
where the desire has been granted

 

 

Let me now illustrate this with a letter, which came to me this past week. She said, “On the night of October 28th you spoke of the New Man, of breaking down the wall of perdition between the two making one new man. I can’t tell you what it did to me, but when I arrived home I remembered a dream of the past. On the 20th of September I dreamed there was a terrible explosion. It was so loud I thought for a minute that a bomb had dropped and pierced my ears. From that moment on I began to become aware of having a clearer communion with God. It was no longer like a dream, but like talking with. I ask him questions and he answers. I quote Scripture and we discuss it. It’s simply an intimate communion with God.

 

“On the night of October 18th I asked God, ‘Why do certain desires take so long, others so short and still others never?’ And God replied, ‘All of your desires will be granted. The difference in the time between your desire and its fulfillment is this. It depends upon the state you were in when you desired, and the state you are now in, because you have not practiced revision.’ ”

 

What a marvelous revelation. Are we not told in Scripture, “Whatever you desire, believe that you have received it and you will?” If you desire something, it is a confession that you don’t have it. You know the state you were in when you desired it. Now you must move from the desiring state to the state where the desire has been granted. That movement brings about revision. How do you revise? Ask yourself how you would feel were your desire true. Assume that feeling and you have moved to the state of fulfillment. If you find yourself still desiring, you have not practiced revision, you have not put the teachings of Scripture into effect.

 

When I read her letter I immediately thought of the 17th chapter of John. Called “The high priestly prayer”, it is really a meditation within oneself. Having finished the work that God gave him to do, Christ knows he is God himself and confesses, “I and the Father are one.” Having abdicated his glorious form in order to take upon himself the limitation and weakness of the flesh, he now realizes that he has finished the work he came to do.

 

The chapter begins as he lifts his thoughts and says, “Glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory that I had with thee before that the world was.” It is divided into three parts; the first is a prayer for self, the second for the disciples (those in whom his seed is planted; a seed that will grow in them that they may carry on and spread the word). And finally he prays for the entire universal family, which will one day be assembled, when all these little membranes, the little delusions of life, are broken down.

 

The revelation, which came to this lady, is a true one. Take it to heart. God revealed to her why some desires take a long time and others manifest themselves so quickly. It is all because of the state you are in when you desire it, and your present state. If the time seems long, it is because you have not practiced revision. But the time is now! Revise your thoughts by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Persist and your desire will become a cubic reality. If you believe you have what you are desiring, haven’t you assumed the feeling of the wish fulfilled? And an assumption, though false, if persisted in by remaining faithful to that state, will harden into fact.

 

The only one excluded from this unity of thought is he who draws a circle around himself as the poet tells us:

 

“He drew a circle that shut me out.

Infidel, scoundrel, a thing to flout.

But love and I had the wit to win

And we drew a circle and took him in.”

 

So the circle expands even though one remains in the little I-am-better-than circle he has drawn around himself. Just as my friend, born into the Catholic faith considered himself better than the protestant or the Jew or the Negro. He went blindly on believing all these silly little things until he died to these delusions and their death came about in a way that he never could have planned.

 

The congregation of God is made up of one body, one spirit, one hope, one Lord and one faith. That doesn’t mean faith in the Catholic or protestant doctrine with its many divisions, or any other doctrine. The fundamental sin is lack of faith in “I am he”. Ask yourself this question. “If I don’t believe that I am he, I die in my sin and miss my desire, but if I am he is there anything outside of me? There cannot be.”

 

All that you behold, though it appears without, it is within, in your imagination of which this world of mortality, it but a shadow. An experience may appear to be objective, but objectivity and subjectivity is wholly dependent upon where consciousness is focused. Tonight the world you enter as you sleep upon your bed will be objective to your perception and therefore real, while this world, if remembered, will be subjective. But when you awake, the world to which you return will become objective and the world of dream, subjective. So what is objective, and what is subjective, when the whole is taking place within.

 Application & Questions:

All that you behold, though it appears without, it is within, in your imagination of which this world of mortality, it but a shadow. What does that sentence mean to you today?  Does it mean that whatever is happening on the outside as events, conditions, and circumstances is coming about because you first claimed them or gave them a possibility?  Does it mean that what you imagine to be on the outside is much more powerful than what is actually on the outside? It's just the shadow of what you have believed and imagined?

Take one highlighted saying above and revisit it by copying it down on Index card or a piece of paper you carry with you and read it at every opportunity you have until it sinks deeply inside and becomes a part of your consciousness. Try it. You'll like it!

When you move from the desiring state to the state where the desire has been granted you simply create a mantra or a reality that says you already have it. You pretend to have that state you desire. So if you desire to have a new car you now feel like your driving the new car even while you drive the old one. Yes it feels weird at first sometimes to pretend you have the state you desire even though it clearly is what you'd rather live in or do as a state.

 Open your heart to the state you desire. You are more powerful than you know. Own it! Know it! Embrace it! You stand at the door allowing greatness in or closing it off by not realizing how amazing you already are without being anything but you. You are infinitely valuable! Now believe it!


 Quote Date: November 23th, 2009
 

Now, there are infinite states in this world, and man moves from  one state to another either consciously or unconsciously

 

The first creative act in the Bible, “God moved upon the face of the water.” We are here to learn now to move from state to state, from a state of conflict to the state of fulfilled desire. God moved and then proclaimed, “Let there be light.” Everything exists, but must be illuminated from within, for I am the light.

 

Imitate your heavenly Father and learn the art of moving. Learn how to move from a warring state into a state of peace. Then rest in it saying, “Let it be” and watch it come into being. When he asked, “Have I learned anything?” I nodded and said, “Yes, you learned how to move and discipline.” Discipline is simply becoming discriminating. It does not matter what your desire may be; it is only a state. When you learn how to move you can enter any state and say, “Let it be” and the state will become luminous; it will become real in your world…

 

The dream of my friend revealed an important fact, that he had learned how to move. If, during conflict, man could only move, the conflict would cease to be. God’s first creative act was to move upon the face of the water and let it be. Knowing that he illuminates and reveals the state in which he has placed himself, God moves upon the face of the water. If, tonight, you have a desire, it can be yours if you learn how to move. Through the years I have been trying to show you how to move, by bringing into your mind’s eye a scene, which would imply that you are where you want to be. If you were already there would you see the world differently? If you wouldn’t, then you have not moved. Motion can be detected only by a change of position relative to another state. If you move at the speed of light and everything moves with you, you haven’t moved. But if you let it be, and move relative to it, then by looking you can see a change in position relative to it and know you have moved.

 

Start here, in this auditorium. Look at the pictures on the walls, the speaker and the audience around you. Then feel you are moving toward the back of the room and you will see everything at a different angle. Now, your friends know your weaknesses and limitations. You share your fears with them and they share their doubts with you. The desire to move and the movement itself is an inward motion. Using the same frame of reference, move inwardly by seeing them differently, and allowing them to see you, not as they formerly did, but as you would like them to see you. If they are friends they will rejoice, and if they are not they will show envy. Whatever they are relative to you, they will express. They are your fixed frame of reference and confirmation of your motion.

 

Now, there are infinite states in this world, and man moves from one state to another either consciously or unconsciously.

 

He falls intothem knowingly or unknowingly, but regardless, he must reap the fruit of the state into which he has entered. That’s the law.

 

 

THE PRIMAL WISH

Lecture #337 - Neville   10/24/1966

Neville Lectures To Change Your World Subscription

 Application & Questions:

So we look at the main theme of this Neville Quote and may find ourselves asking what are infinite states? Take a minute now and notice how you are feeling. Is it good? Happy? Sad? Okay? Fantastic? How do you feel at this moment? Whatever it is that is a state. You're in a state that has this feeling you are feeling. Now many of us habitual visit only a set amount of states based on our expectations. Most people won't feel Glee on a regular basis for just because. Many people feel happy with their family going well. Feeling accepted and belonging –you'll most likely feel good. If you are rejected by your family or friends you may feel sad or upset or furious. If someone supposedly "did you wrong" you might go into an anger state or a mad as hell state. So just to clarify there are as many states as you can imagine and more. What if you were stuck in glee? Or happiness? Or hatred? Or wealth? Every state has a season. Now for you happiness may be just to belong to a family. Other people may think that being on their own by themselves would be happiness. So if you know what states you visit regularly then you expand beyond them. So write down 10 states you visit regularly. Notice how you enter them. the identify what other states you'd like to enter into. If it has to do with wealth pick a number and enter into that state – dare to assume the number you'd like to have and act as if you have it. Now obviously your not going into debt by going out and spending it. But you are spending your money mentally and emotionally on products and services you desire. Your in the flow of movement. Your moving upon the water.

So right now I want you to move from a warring state to a peaceful state. Start thinking about things that are unfair to you or people who supposedly screwed you over for ten seconds. Get mad, upset, furious at something or someone for just ten seconds.

Now start thinking of laying on a beach by your favorite ocean. The sun is cascading down your body. You feel warm and comfortable. You see the ripples flowing on the waves coming towards the beach. The sound takes you deeper into the peace filled state. You let everything go until you achieve peace. Think of the love you have for your mate or family or even your pet and imagine petting or interacting with your pet or your favorite person. Now you should be a in a peaceful state.

Take your favorite colored saying from this quote and copy it on to an index card or a sheet of paper. Read it out loud with feeling in front of the mirror. If it says You change it to I and those other places to mine or my and then repeat ten times a day out loud this week. Carry it in your wallet or purse and bring it out in times that you might have to wait. Stop lights, doctors offices, lunch breaks, restroom breaks, and any chance you have a spare moment and read it.

Know you are magnificent just as you are. Perfect complete and whole. There is nothing missing from you. You have the perfect way to enter into any state you desire. You feel. You move into any state by feeling it first. Then you enter into it. Just like when you enter a room each state you enter has its own atmosphere that fills the state. You are so powerful you can move from any state at will... with practice. You can move from anything you have thought in the past was not quite perfect into any state you think is your ideal by just moving attention to what is in that state. You are no longer stuck because you have the power to move at any time you desire. Move and find the states you desire to dwell therein. You are the only one who can choose to constantly live in that state. You are the state maker! Enjoy making the states you'd want to exist in. You can do this. Now do it!


Quote Date: November 18th, 2009

SOMEWHERE WITHIN YOUR SOUL THERE IS A MOOD WHICH, WHEN FOUND, MEANS WEALTH, HEALTH AND HAPPINESS TO YOU


An idea which is only an idea, produces nothing and does nothing. It acts only when it is accompanied by effective feeling. Somewhere within your soul there is a mood which, when found, means wealth, health and happiness to you.

 

The impulse to create a desire may produce happiness, but if the desire’s fulfillment is not felt, results are uncertain. When the joy of feeling is sure, however, the words of Proverbs take on new meaning as: “A merry heart does good like a medicine, while a broken spirit dries the bones.”

 

Start now to watch your feelings and reactions to the day’s events. Guard your feelings when praying, for prayer is the true creative state. Dignity indicates that man hears the greater music of life and moves to the tempo of its deeper meaning. If we did nothing but imagine and feel the lovely, the world’s reform would be accomplished.

 

Many of the stories of scripture deal exclusively with the power of imagination and feeling. “Feel after him” is the cry of the truth seeker. Only imagination and feeling – the senses by which we perceive the beyond – can restore the Eden from which experience has driven us. Where knowledge ends, feeling and imagination begin.

 

Every noble feeling opens a door to the divine world. Man’s true measure is not by the height of his cities, but by the magnificence of his imagination and feeling. Let us turn our thoughts heavenward and mix our imagination with the angels. The world that moves us is the one we imagine, not the world that surrounds us.

 

FEELING, THE SECRET OF LIFE

Lecture #232 – Neville    No Date

Neville Lectures To Change Your World Subscription

 Application & Questions:

As you look at the featured colored sentence above in purple what mood would give you all that it claims for you? What feeling would you need to experience now that would make you believe you have this naturally and normally as a part or function of your life?

So when you are upset or happy notice that you are feeling a mood or a feeling of bad or good. Notice you have to connect with a feeling to feel either way. As you feel - you create from the blank slate of your feelings that started as neutral or from no where or now here. A blank canvas is a good metaphor to use here. Picture each feeling you have as a blank canvas to write upon. Each thought a precursor to the feeling. Each feeling a canvas to create a reality of external conditions and circumstances. You control the mood. Or do you? List what moods come upon you with out much effort? Id there a thought before that? Or a trigger to move into to the move. If you look hard enough you'll find you will hear, see, or experience something as a thought before you ever have a feeling. be observant this next week and notice your world always begins with a thought.

So now get out a index card or a piece of paper. Write out your favorite colored sentence and read it over and over again 10 times or more a day. Let it sink into your consciousness as a truth of your being. When you take a break or become upset go back to the card or paper and read it over and over again until you realize that you have the power all within you to change it.

You are the power. You are the power that creates your world from the inside out. The power isn't outside of you –out there. It's not in the people called "they"! It is invisible force on the inside of you that creates what it feels as true of you–now and now and now. Believe in yourself. Believe in your power to ascend to a higher level of consciousness and become any one you want to be! Just let yourself have it.


Quote Date: November 2nd, 2009 

Now you must go beyond the name  and literally

become  the desire by no longer saying:
“I am desiring,” but “I am experiencing the state now.”

 

 

Now we are told: “Be ye imitators of God as dear children.” If we are to imitate God we must determine what he did. He contemplated himself and produced your garment of flesh out of his own being. And he loves you more than anything in the world. “Nought loves another as itself.” You may claim you love another more than self and deny what I have just said, but you are only kidding yourself, for “Nought loves another as itself, nor venerates another so. Nor is it possible to thought a greater than itself to know.” You cannot conceive of something greater than yourself, and

if God wants you to know him, he has to raise you to himself, for it is impossible to thought a greater than itself to know. How can you know your creator while being his creation, unless he raises you to his level? If God wants you to know him as he is, you must be able to see him beyond what you are now capable of perceiving yourself to be, so God became as you are that you may be as he is. If he didn’t become you, he couldn’t lift you to his level that you may know him. Everyone is an emanation of the God within him.

 

Now, this same truth can be applied to this level. A desire, named, comes out of you the moment it is desired. But to claim it you must become an imitator of God, who became you that you may be as he is. So it is with a desire. You must actually become healthy or wealthy (if that is your desire) in order for health or wealth to be externalized in your world. You must go into the feeling of being surrounded by the state and actually wear it as God wears your fleshly garment. His name forever and ever is I am. A desire comes out of you and you say, “I am desiring,” and you name it. Now you must go beyond the name and literally become the desire by no longer saying: “I am desiring,” but “I am experiencing the state now.”

 

You must persist in wearing the feeling of fulfillment until it becomes natural and normal. Reason may deny your thoughts and your senses deny their truth, but if you persist it will externalize itself and be made real relative to you. Take a cue from scripture: “The man said, ‘This at last is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man.’ Therefore, a man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife and they become one body.” This, which was experienced on a spiritual level, can be applied here in Caesar’s world, where we find infinite states of consciousness.

 

Whether the state be health, wealth, or fame, it is your emanation - your wife, for the desire to express the state came out of you. You must so love that wife which came out of you as bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh, that you are willing to leave everything and yield to it by assuming you are it.  Then, having moved into the state and persisting to occupy it, it objectifies itself as bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh - your emanation yet your wife - until a new state is desired by you.

 

And then one day you will reach the end of your journey and you will no longer be two, but one, for you will have raised your emanation up to your own level, that you may understand and see yourself as you truly are, for it is impossible to thought a greater than itself to know. If God would have you - his emanation - know him as he is to be known, he has to become you to raise you to his level, for you cannot know anything greater than yourself.

You may worship a little icon or think someone is wonderful because he is richer, wiser, or more handsome than you; but although you may desire wealth, his intelligence, or his looks, you would never want to give up your identity and assume that of another, for your identity is God. He became as you are that you may be as He is.

 

GOD’S EMANATION

Lecture # 106 – Neville    04/14/1969

Neville Lectures To Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

Take something you want to experience as a state from one of your desires right now. Write it down to focus on it more easily. What is your desire in the fullest sense for you. As an example lets take you may want a new car – then what new car is it? Is it a Camaro? A Lincoln Continental or an SUV? Name what kind of car it is. Load it up with all that you would desire. Don't spare something from your list because it might be more expensive. Go for really what you desire. Okay so now you know you want the Jeep or whatever car – then add the extras. Now once you have it firmly in your mind exactly what you want the fun begins. Now what would it feel like if you had this desire now? What state of mind would you be in? Joyous? Excited? Loving Life? Thrilled? In Love? Relieved? What state would you occupy once you have your desire in its entirety?

Linger there. Feel there. What would your friends now say about you? What would your family say? Would they be jealousy? Would they be thrilled for you? Would they wonder how you got it? What would you believe that they would say or do now that you have the desire of your heart? Find a way through your senses by hearing it, seeing it, smelling it, touching it, feeling it – all or anyone that is easiest for you to believe and fantasize about. Now just sink into the feeling of having it now and right before bed. Let the spirit/unconscious do the work for you while you sleep. If you mind says "hey! it's not true!" Just say back "oh this is pretend until it is mine." or something that makes it easier to be in the future moment of your desired realization.  

What does Neville mean when he says "You must persist in wearing the feeling of fulfillment until it becomes natural and normal." to you? What is natural and normal to you? What feeling would you have if your desire are natural or normal today? What would you do differently if you felt the state of desire as natural or normal?

Take one phrase from this quote and repeat to yourself over and over again. Put it on a 2 x 4 card and read it over and over. Say while you are driving or exercising. Make it a conscious part of your day and discover how that affects the next day. See and feel you think about you after that. Repeat as often as you like this week!

Let go of the idea that you don't or will never matter. You wouldn't even be here reading this unless you mattered. You are such a powerful creator my friend that you don't even know how much you mean to this universe as with your point of view and your desires. There may never be another person like you to ever walk the Earth in your body where you are right now. Each thought you think changes the Universe, the Universal mind, and world at large just thinking into the spiritual substance. Did you know that you are mainly made up of Star dust? What do stars do? They shine. Are now ready to opening yourself up to be the creator in your world that shines in the darkness. When you create consciously you really turn up the stardust to shine brilliantly just being you. Today commit to yourself that you will shine a little or a lot brighter so you and others can see the path you are blazing! Remember you are much more than you think you are. Know it! Be it! Live it!


Quote Date: October 26th, 2009 

It is our privilege to select an aspect of reality, respond to it and bring it into existence

Awareness is your garden where your imagination can put you in touch with the state you desire to be conscious of. All you are asked to do is enter that which is already finished, and view your world from its consciousness.

Do this and you have sowed the seed of its fulfillment and you will reap its rewards as events and circumstances in your life.

Unfortunately, man’s memory is so short he forgets his seedtime, but all ends run true to their origin. If man imagines misfortune, he will experience it. You may wonder why things happen to you, and deny you set them in motion, but your God never forgets, and always allows you to reap what you, and you alone have sown.

You and I are selectors. We are not creators. The whole vast world of creation is finished, as told us in the Book of Ecclesiastes. “I am the beginning and the end. There is nothing to come that has not been already.”

Look upon creation as finished and you and I as selectors of that which is. It is our privilege to select an aspect of reality, respond to it and bring it into existence. Not knowing this, however, we go through life reflecting its circumstances rather than using our power to change them.

Now, if everything is finished, why is the promise made that there shall be a seedtime and a harvest as long as the earth remains? Attitudes are the seeds of life. The moment you react to an object, an individual or a bit of news, an emotional response is felt and your attitude is formed.

Although you may not remember the moment of response, nature never forgets. Your reaction will appear as circumstances in your life, as its emergence is caused by a hidden continuity.

You and I may harvest anything we desire, but first we must plant the seed. Every  harvest must be preceded by a moment of response or an attitude.

How often have you regretted your attitude and wished you could change it? You know that when your circumstances change, your attitude automatically changes. That is a reflection of life. But you can consciously and deliberately change your attitude and in so doing, change your world. If you do, you are controlling your fate.

Ninety-nine percent of the world waits for change to happen on the outside so they can reflect it, but that is no accomplishment. If we would awaken, we would become selectors of the beauty of the garden God has given us. We would single out an aspect we desire to express and deliberately change our attitude towards life itself.

 

AS YOU SOW, YOU REAP

Lecture #231 – Neville    No Date

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

Taking the main headline of "It is our privilege to select an aspect of reality, respond to it and bring it into existence." We must realize that yes, it is our privilege and opportunity to select the things we respond to. Most of us are reactionaries! We react to circumstances and conditions around us and call it life. Today be a conscious creator and select what aspects in advance you'd like to respond with instead of a re-action you'd rather not continue. Think about the most irksome things that just get your goat or raise your temperature. Maybe it's your partner leaving the cap off the toothpaste. Maybe its your husband leaving the toilet seat up. Maybe it's the paper boy missing your porch and going into the bushes. Maybe its your boss who assigns you loads of work right before it is time to go home. Whatever it is think about it. How do you react usually? Now how do you want to respond? Write that down. What aspect of that reality would you need to enter into so nothing can bother you. Maybe when you see the tooth paste lid off you put it on and affirm to yourself "this is because I love you honey!" or "this is because I appreciate how busy your day is." Or respond from a place or state you have utter bliss because you are doing the chore or maybe you now don't even much acknowledge it. Make your list and select what part of what you want to affirm greater amounts of in your reality about the thing that used to bother you.

Now what if you take the highlighted line "you can consciously and deliberately change your attitude and in so doing, change your world. If you do, you are controlling your fate." and imagine what if that were completely true for you?

How would that change the quality of your life?

Would you feel more in control of your life?

Would you go more for your dreams?

Would you use your imagination more to change your attitude one day at a time?

Take one phrase from this quote and repeat to yourself over and over again. Put it on a 2 x 4 card and read it over and over. Say while you are driving or exercising. Make it a conscious part of your day and discover how that affects the next day. See and feel you think about you after that. Repeat as often as you like this week!

As you start to realize the power you hold on the inside you will feel a general feeling of many things now being possible for that you'd not really believed before. It really doesn't matter what your past has been you can change your life by changing you attitude. Only you control your attitude and no one else.


Quote Date: September 21st, 2009

  Simply catch the feeling that you have it and sustain that feeling.
Persist in acknowledging the joy of fulfillment.

 

I started questioning the law because I was interested in things. Having no money, I wanted a trip and I got it. Then I began to tell others, as I wanted to see them take the same principle and test it. As they proved it they told others. I invite you to prove the truth on this level, and have faith that the truth is equally true on the higher level of your being.  Continue to test the law for things in this world and accept God's promises on faith, based upon what you have proved by the law.

 

Do you know what you want? I will tell you a simple way to get it.  Simply catch the feeling that you have it and sustain that feeling. Persist in acknowledging the joy of fulfillment.  In your imagination tell your friends your good news. Hear their congratulations, then allow him who heard your friends and felt your joy of fulfillment, bring it into your world, for he who can do all these things is within you as your own wonderful I AMness, your Imagination, your consciousness. That is God. 

 

Test God, for he will not fail you. Then, when he proves himself in performance, tell a friend, and continue telling others as you exercise this law. And walk knowing all the other I am statements are yours. Prove this in the world of shadows and you will prove the other in the world of reality. 

 

Your I AMness is the true eternal reality. Living in a world of shadows, as you declare your I AMness you are declaring eternal truth.  When you say, "I am the resurrection," that is eternal truth. "I am the life" is eternal truth, as well as "I am the way." All of these bold certainties preceded with the "I am" are eternal truths. 

 

So, do not listen to anyone who screams at you from their tower of Babel and tells you of another way, for there is no other way. You don't have to give up meat or only eat fish on Friday in order to enter the way, for the way to the cause of all life is within you. Believe in your I AMness for there is no other God. 

 

THE FIRST PRINCIPLE

Lecture #122 – Neville    06/09/1969

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription  

Application & Questions:

Right now catch the feeling you have your desire. What is it?  A feeling of joy and gratitude you have the new job? The new raise? The new spouse? The new child? The new car? The new attitude? The new incoming producing website? What is it that you truly desire? Dare to desire it and feel it as already having it now. Dare to believe it can be yours and is now. Sit in that feeling for 20 seconds to 1 minute and then let it go. Move about your day having it on the inside.

When you say I Am the resurrection, I AM the life, and I AM the way what you mean is each time you say something after saying I or I AM you are declaring, claiming, and projecting what you believe is true. Resurrecting a state is easy. Declaring your life to be a certain way is easy also. And Saying I AM the way is easy also. Not coming from an ego stand point but coming from a declarative imaginative state. What you say you are to others and yourself become realities in the outside world of shadows. And why is the outside world called shadows? Because it shadows your beliefs that you decided to believe and follow. The outside world in your life is nothing more than beliefs that have shadowed exactly what you believe about yourself. What new declaration do you want to affirm and assume now and start awakening in you by declaring it is now yours?

Take one phrase from this quote and repeat to yourself over and over again. Put it on a 2 x 4 card and read it over and over. Say while you are driving or exercising. Make it a conscious part of your day and discover how that affects the next day. See and feel you think about you after that. Repeat as often as you like this week!

You are the resurrector of your life and the states you desire to dwell therein. you have the power if you decide you have the power. Your power lies within you and supports whatever you believe and assume. Assume the good things you want! For you are the master selector of realities you choose to be in and contemplate as who you are.

You are not defined by your past declarative statements of who you are or you'd be trapped. There is no way to trap the I AM without his/hers permission. Declare a new reality for yourself. Eat a different food. Travel to a place you'd never been. Pick up a magazine you'd think you wouldn't like and unravel the reality you have decided for yourself in the past. Get curious about what your life would be like if you would have another one. How big can you dream? How big of dream can you claim as yours? The world is sitting in your declarative and imaginative thought? What world would you truly like to live in? Did you know you can? And it is up to you if you will.


Quote Date: August 26th, 2009

We create by faith, and faith is belief in the thing not yet seen  

 

 

Why are we here? To make images, The whole universe is an image of cosmic fancy. We are learning, so we begin with the most simple- things — a job, a new home, a change in environ­ment. We do it in the same way as our Father did it. but this is a classroom so we make mistakes, but the fault is not ours for we are not yet awake. There was the perfect poem, existing for its Creator, and then God set free certain portions of it, and so He "prepared the way for his banished ones to return." God seeks what has been driven away, so that He may say, "This, my son, who was dead is alive again." So we are the one He is seeking. There is something hidden in this coat of skin that He is seeking.

 

We must get beyond the senses and begin to create. So I say to everyone that we must start the art of creating, no matter how simple or how big the thing is; no matter what it is, that is creating.  We create by faith, and faith is belief in the thing not yet seen. We create by assembling an image that implies we how have what we want in this world and if we are faithful we bring it to pass, and as we do it we begin to move through this labyrin­thine way for the return of His Son. "Whom God has afflicted He will comfort and call his friend.”  So if you are hurt do not believe that it was because of what you did in the past. No. We pass through the fixed labyrinthine ways that He has prepared for the return of His Son. So the Son finally awakens and He walks with me through the whole roadway of these states.

 

You can create anything in this world if you know who you are, and, if you do not know, that is why these platforms exist to teach you, for we are all interlaced. You may think you are insignificant; you may even be in jail but even behind bars you are creating. And you need not remain in jail if you know who you are.

 

Have you ever flown over a lake or over the ocean? A friend recently flew in from San Diego. He had been in the navy and he had always owned boats, but he had never before observed what he saw now from the air. He was on the ocean side as the plane took off from -San Diego and looking down he saw this little thirty-footer coming in the opposite direction. He noticed the wake of this little ship and watched it widen, and nothing inter­rupted it. When his plane turned inland he was flying at 300 miles per hour but looking back he realized that this little boat doing maybe 30 knots was troubling the entire Pacific. As far as the eye could see this wake was moving and nothing could stop it and the occupant of that boat was totally unaware of what he was doing. We are all like that. You think you can imagine and not affect others? It is like the wake; in time it encompasses the whole world. It starts as a little V but it grows wider and wider. Everyone will be in some way influenced by my pattern. If one knows what he wants for himself or for others and remains faithful to it, he does not have to ask "Who will help me?  For every person who must play a part will play it to make possible the fulfillment of that dream.

 

THAT WHICH ALREADY HAS BEEN

Lecture #304 – Neville 10/06/1959

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

Faith in the unseen? Have you try that today? We all seem to get caught up in the facts of "life". Which is nothing more than worshiping outside appearances as true. Until you have an internal faith in the unseen your outside world remains the same. Right now imagine an ideal somewhere in your life. What would it be like if it was true today? Imagine. Put some faith into the unseen and let it become visible to your spiritual eyes? Are you ready? Now is the time to have the faith and believe.

What part have you played in your life where you felt it wasn't you and you just "showed" up for someone else intention or default feeling?

Take one phrase from this quote and repeat to yourself over and over again. Put it on a 2 x 4 card and read it over and over. Say while you are driving or exercising. Make it a conscious part of your day and discover how that affects the next day. See and feel you think about you after that. Repeat as often as you like this week!

You are an explorer of reality. An image maker. You have the power to make your life exactly what you decide by moving into the states you desire to live in and moving into them to live there.

Don't settle for the reality you where conditioned to believe in. Believe the biggest, best, most awesome thing about yourself and let your power unleash on your life of your most powerful dreams.

Let yourself have your dreams! Dwell therein - within your dreams as though you already have them and they will come as sure as the night follows the day and the day follows the night!

Realize your power to create the life you so desire by starting to feel it is already upon you now!



Quote Date: July 19th, 2009

There are no barriers to this
Being-within-us

 

Now, he said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions; were it not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and I will take you to myself, that where I am there you may be.” ( John 14:2, 3) 

 

Here in this room is the outer world, with the thing speak­ing to you called “Neville,” but there is that in us that is Jesus – our own wonderful human imagination.  There are no barriers to this Being-within-us.

 

Standing here, I can assume that I am wherever I would like to be. Standing here, fully aware of my weak­nesses and my limitations, I can assume that I am the man who has no weakness and no limitation. If I do that, I am preparing the place. I go and prepare the place.

 

I let this thing vanish from my consciousness – this room, the city, everything, and in my imagination I dare to assume that I am the one that I want to be. I give it all the tones of reality. I give it all the sensory vividness that I am capable of giving it and make it real. Then I open my eyes. When I open my physical eyes upon the world that I have shut out for a moment, it returns. So, “I go and prepare a place” for the lower man, and when I go and prepare the place, “I will come again and I will take you to myself.” Once more there is a fusion between the man that I left behind standing here while I proceeded elsewhere, and then I went and prepared the place. Then I come back to the being I left behind me, and we fuse once more.

 

Having prepared it, I will now build – not in my conscious, rational mind – I will build a bridge of incidents across which I will take this garment that I left behind and bring it forward towards the fulfillment of what I have done for it. 

 

WHERE ARE YOU STAYING

Lecture #467 – Neville   No Date
Dare to Assume Private Lecture Subscription

Application & Questions:

As you read "There are no barriers to the being-within-us" how do you feel? Do you think that could be true or a fantasy of the high extreme? What you believe about yourself? Are you the creator of your life one choose at a time or do you feel things happen to you? Think about the idea that there is no barriers to the being-within-you for 5 minutes or more. Discover a new place of aliveness with realizing that there is no barriers to the one-within-you.

How do you take on the tones of reality? Take a moment and feel what you need to enter another state that you desire as true for you. Would you need to feel it as true? Would you need to hear it? Would you need to see it? What thing would bring it to you as real on the inside. Close your eyes and do that. If you for some reason can't get into it try it right before bed as a pretending to by pass your current ego driven reality and exist in who and what you want as yours.

Find a highlighted statement above and write it on a card and read it every chance you get this week. Restroom breaks. Bus rides. Limo rides. In between commercials on TV. Contemplate it often. See how that feels at the end of the day. Write how it is impacting in a journal.

You are powerful! You create your life with decisions and choices one thought and feeling at a time. With one internal hearing (conversation) at a time. With one seeing and claiming the end as yours at a time.

In one way you push out all that is in your world by your perception alone. Your perception of yourself rocks and rules your world. How do you see, feel, or hear yourself? Do you tend to love you truly or just put up with yourself because you have too? Do you like you?

Are you your own best friend and advocate? Do you believe that you can have and manifest the greater good into your life? Are you constantly moving towards your greatest dreams within you? If you are then pat yourself on your back and if your not, isn't it about time you let go and allowed yourself to have more of what you deserve? You have the power to bring any good thing to you!


Quote Date: July 8th, 2009

Assume the feeling of being it – the feeling that would be yours were you now embodying it in your world

 

 

Men believe in the reality of the external world because they do not know how to focus and condense their powers to penetrate its thin crust. Strangely enough, it is not difficult to penetrate this view of the senses. To remove the veil of the senses, we do not employ great effort; the objective world vanishes as we turn our attention from it. We have only to concentrate on the state desired to mentally see it; but to give reality to it so that it will become an objective fact, we must focus our attention upon the desired state until it has all the sensory vividness and feeling of reality. When, through concentrated attention, our desire appears to possess the distinctness and feeling of reality; when the form of thought is as vivid as the form of nature, we have given it the right to become a visible fact in our lives.  Each man must find the means best suited to his nature to control his attention and concentrate it on the desired state. I find for myself the

best state to be one of meditation, a relaxed state akin to sleep, but a state in which I am still consciously in control of my imagination and capable of fixing my attention on a mental object.

If it is difficult to control the direction of your attention while in this state akin to sleep, you may find gazing fixedly into an object very helpful. Do not look at its surface, but rather into and beyond any plain object such as a wall, a carpet or any object which possesses depth. Arrange it to return as little reflection as possible.
  Imagine, then, that in this depth you are seeing and hearing what you want to see and hear until your attention is exclusively occupied by the imagined state.


At the end of your meditation, when you awake from your controlled waking dream you feel as though you had returned from a great distance. The visible world which you had shut out returns to consciousness and, by its very presence, informs you that you have been self-deceived into believing that the object of your contemplation was real; but if you
  remain faithful to your vision this sustained mental attitude will give reality to your visions and they will become visible concrete facts in your world.

Define your highest ideal and concentrate your attention upon this ideal until you identify yourself with it.
  Assume the feeling of being it – the feeling that would be yours were you now embodying it in your world. This assumption, though now denied by your senses, “if persisted in” – will become a fact in your world. You will know when you have succeeded in fixing the desired state in consciousness simply by looking mentally at the people you know. This is a wonderful check on yourself as your mental conversations are more revealing than your physical conversations are. If, in your mental conversations with others, you talk with them as you formerly did, then you have not changed your concept of self, for all changes of concepts of self result in a changed relationship to the world.

 

THE LAW OF ASSUMPTION

Radio Lecture #05 - Neville - Station KECA, L.A.    07/1951

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

Take one thing that you really have wanted to be but were afraid to go for it completely. Just play a game inside your mind for a minute. Take that thing you desire to be and dare to assume you already are it. Feel what it would be like right now to claim it as yours. Dwell therein for 30 seconds. Once you have done that notice how it felt for you. Did you feel inner joy at having this state of being? Do you feel excited? Loved? Adventurous? Whatever it is–notice it. Repeat this as often as you like until you feel that there is a reality inside of you that you have already claimed what you want to be as yours. Remember once you claim it as yours that you do not have to keep looking for it to come because it is already there within you. Dwell therein that you already possess it and let go. It will come at it's appointed hour. Just know it will.

Figure out how you create your reality. What do you do? Do you see it first? Hear it first? Feel it first? Smell it first? Or taste it first? what do you do next to create certainty inside of you? Is it s picture? A saying or you hear something? Do you feel something about it?

Find a highlighted statement above and write it on a card and read it every chance you get this week. Restroom breaks. Bus rides. Limo rides. In between commercials on TV. Contemplate it often. See how that feels at the end of the day. Write it in a journal.

You are the dominate power in your universe. You own your perceptions of your worlds. You own the perception of every one around you. You are the king of your Kingdom. What kind of Kingdom have you subjected yourself to? A happy Kingdom? A sad Kingdom? A Billionaire Kingdom? A poverty stricken Kingdom? A joyous Kingdom? What kind of Kingdom do you choose to live in? If you think that you didn't create your Kingdom.. then you created the Kingdom of default and powerlessness. The start of any Kingdom is your desire for something. What did you focus on mostly to arrive at the Kingdom you have put yourself in? Remember you can create any Kingdom you choose. You can revise or just walk way and create something more to your liking. You Are Your Own Power. Use it to create your world the way you desire it. Its okay to be your own best friend! No one else can express like you–so express your magnificence completely.


Week Starting Monday, 15th of June 2009
Quote Date: June 20th, 2009

desire must be activated by entering into its center, feeling its reality, and walking in the faith that it will happen

 

Now, John Mills defines causation as the assemblage of phenomena, which occurring, some other phenomena commence to appear in the world. In other words, causation is the assemblage of an imaginal state implying the fulfillment of desire, which feeling will activate and produce in the world. And H. G. Wells put it this way: "Throughout the ages, life is nothing more than a continuing solution to a continuous synthetic problem," How many times have you said to yourself: if I only had x-number of dollars I could live comfortably, then inflation appears and you are forced to use your creative power to construct an imaginal solution to your new problem.

 

Webster defines a synthetic body as the compiling of separate elements which produce a new form. In this world you will never find permanency, for something will penetrate the state you are now occupying and force you to conceive a new solution. This is how it is done. Do not judge the problem - rather ask yourself what its solution would be. Suppose you were in jail. The solution would be to be out of jail, pardoned, and sleeping in your own home. So, while still confronted with the problem, and lying on your cot in jail, you would close your eyes to the cell and feel you are now home, as a free man. Then fall asleep allowing the maker of all things to create that which will be seen out of that which does not appear.

 

A few years ago, a lady in my San Francisco audience rose and said: "My brother is in the army. I do not know what he did to cause his punishment, but he has been sentenced to six months of hard labor, and I want him set free." After establishing the fact that he would go to her apartment if he were free, I urged her to imagine he was there now. That night, this lady imagined hearing the doorbell ring. Rushing down the stairs, she opened the door to find her brother standing there, a free man. She rehearsed that scene over and over again until it seemed natural to her. One week later, while sitting in her apartment, the doorbell rang. She ran downstairs, opened the door, and embraced her brother - who told her he was honorably discharged. Who brought the action against him, or who discharged him I do not know. I only know the brother did not run away from the punishment, for the lady came to my meeting the next Sunday and shared her story with all who were there. Now, if she hadn't known this principle and put it into practice, she would have remained at home, angry and frustrated for six months until her brother was released.

All things are made by your imagination, for without imagining, nothing is made. Imagination is not limited to  this level of consciousness. There are levels and levels of imagination, as your dreams and visions prove. This world is sustained by Divine Imagining, which is human imagining on a higher level. Our imagination is keyed low, but we are called upon to exercise this power, to examine ourselves to see if we are keeping our faith. On this level, faith is not complete until, through experiment, it becomes experience.  Experiment with this statement: "Whatever you desire, believe you have received it and you will." (Mark 11) If faith is not complete until, through experiment it becomes experience, you must take an unseen objective and place it in an assemblage of mental states which would imply its fulfillment. Then this desire must be activated by entering into its center, feeling its reality, and walking in the faith that it will happen. I tell you: in a way you could not devise, what you have assumed will come into your world.

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

When Neville mentions "All things are made by your imagination, for without imagining, nothing is made." What does that mean to you? And how can you use this idea to get you more of what you desire? Does that mean that whatever you imagine can become a reality for you if you believe it as true? What is it for you that helps you connect to that concept.

Find one thing you want then enter into its center to feel its reality. Put yourself there in the center of having it already. Walk by faith and it will happen. Be patient. Allow it to come by your faith filled expectation and desire it is already yours.

Find a highlighted statement above and write it on a card and read it every chance you get this week. Restroom breaks. Bus rides. Limo rides. In between commercials on TV. Contemplate it often. See how that feels at the end of the day. Write it in a journal.

If you experiment and prove to yourself through faith that imagining does create reality how can you apply it to the most sticky situations in your life today? What would you assume so it is true for you and you can manifest it?

You are a power unto your physical reality. As you imagine, your world gets created. As you observe what is already created you continue what you observe in your world. As you begin each day realize that YOU are the power that keeps your physical reality in place what you continue to imagine and what you stop contemplating. YOU are the maker and breaker of your physical world and what you make out of it. No one but you controls your focus and your feelings of what you think is true. You alone have this at your command. Know you are the creator of your reality and life.

As a desire it is only a dream, a mere image, but when the state is entered,
it is the only reality

 

Everything you can think of is present, now. You cannot conceive of something that is not already worked out in detail; but it is a shadow if you do not dwell in it. It is just a possibility, but when you enter that shadow it seems the only substance. I have seen a world in my imagination that is not like this. Prior to my entrance it as a mere possibility, an image, but when I entered that world and allowed my consciousness to follow vision, it was more real than this room is now. At the moment I am in this room and it is real. When I depart, this will become a memory image, and wherever I am at that moment will be more real than this room or any part of my world. My home was real when I left it and will be real when I enter it again, but now it is a memory image. This room has reality to me because I am in it.

 

I tell you: everything exists and can be just as real as this room.  The job you desire exists. The home of your dreams exists. The man or woman who is perfect for you exists.

You cannot conceive of a state that is not already worked out in detail, waiting for someone to occupy.

As a desire it is only a dream, a mere image, but when the state is entered, it is the only reality.

Quote Date: June 28th, 2009

Listen to your thoughts and you will hear God's words!

  I say imagination creates reality, and if this premise is true then imagination fulfills itself in what your life becomes. Although I have changed the words, what I am saying is not new. Scripture says it in this manner: "Whatsoever you desire, believe you have received it and you will." This statement goes back two thousand years, yet even before that Jeremiah tells of the same principle in his story of the potter and his clay.
 

But until imagination becomes a part of your normal, natural currency of thought, you will not act consciously.  Like breathing, this awareness must become so much a part of you that you will not turn to the left or the right to praise or blame anyone. When you know this presence it will not matter if you started life behind the eight-ball, or in a palace; as a poor, or a rich child; you will realize that life is always externalizing what you are imagining.

 

Lacking the knowledge of this principle, you can reproduce your environment - be it pleasant or unpleasant - forever and ever, as you feed your imagination on what your senses dictate. But knowing this principle, you can ignore the present, and untethered by the so-called facts of life, you can imagine the present as you desire it to be and feed upon your desire, rather than its omission.

 

Now, imagination cannot be observed as we see objects in space, for imagination is their reality. Fawcett gives the name, "God" to the cause of the universe, saying: "God, the creator, is like pure imagining in ourselves. He works in the depths of our soul underlying all of our faculties, including perception, and streams into our surface mind least disguised in the form of productive fancy."

Listen to your thoughts and you will hear God's words!  A thought that is not felt produces nothing. But a thought producing motor elements reproduces itself! Catch God in a moment of a motor element such as anger, fear, or frustration, being congratulated or congratulating, and you will know what is going to happen in your world. Unless, of course you arrest your thoughts and revise them. Most of us, however, are not aware of what we are doing, so we do not observe the creator. But we can catch him as he streams into our surface mind least disguised in the form of productive fancy.

 

IMAGINATION FULFILLS ITS SELF

Lecture #72 – Neville    10/26/1968
Read Lecture From Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

A thought that is not felt produces nothing. What does that mean to you? And what powerful force is the feeling you produce from the inside to the outside with regard to creating your reality?

Find a highlighted statement above and write it on a card and read it every 2 hours this next week. Contemplate it. See how that feels at the end of the day.

Today think about one thing you created by imagining its existence before you had ever a proof or glimmer of it in your life.

Your thoughts are God's thoughts, God's thoughts are your thoughts. Your power comes through the feeling of a subject or desire on inside of you and transmits your will as God's will to the Universe at large. The vibrational frequency that is created from the response of the Universe comes back to you as an outside appearance. That is how powerful you are. Own your power as much as you can today.


Quote Date: May 18th, 2009

 

Consciousness is the one
and only reality

You and I are creatures of habit. We get into the habit of accepting as final the evidence of our senses. Wine is needed for the guests and my senses tell me that there is no wine, and I through habit am about to accept this lack as final. When I remember that my consciousness is the one and only reality, therefore if I deny the evidence of my senses and assume the consciousness of having sufficient wine, I have in a sense rebuked my mother or the consciousness which suggested lack; and by assuming the consciousness of having what I desire for my guests, wine is produced in a way we do not know. 


I have just read a note here from a dear friend of mine in the audience. Last Sunday he had an appointment at a church for a wedding; the clock told him he was late, everything told him he was late.

He was standing on a street corner waiting for a street car. There was none in sight. He imagined that, instead of being on the street corner, that he was in the church. At that moment a car stopped in front of him. My friend told the driver of his predicament and the driver said to him, “I am not going that way, but I will take you there.” My friend got into the car and was at the church in time for the service. That is applying the law correctly, non-acceptance of the suggestion of lateness. Never accept the suggestion of lack. 

In this case I say to myself, “What have I to do with thee?” What have I to do with the evidence of my senses? Bring me all the pots and fill them. In other words, I assume that I have wine and all that I desire. Then my dimensionally greater Self inspires in all, the thoughts and the actions which aid the embodiment of my assumption.

It is not a man saying to a mother, “Woman what have I to do with thee?” It is every man who knows this law who will say to himself, when his senses suggest lack, “what have I to do with thee. Get behind me.” I will never again listen to a voice like that, because if I do, then I am impregnated by that suggestion and I will bear the fruit of lack.

We turn to another story in the Gospel of St. Mark where Jesus is hungry.

“And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.”

“And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.” Mark 11:13, 14

“And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.” Mark 11:20

What tree am I blasting? Not a tree on the outside. It is my own consciousness. “I am the vine.” John 15:1. My consciousness, my I AMness is the great tree, and habit once more suggests emptiness, it suggests barrenness, it suggests four months before I can feast. But I cannot wait four months. I give myself this powerful suggestion that never again will I even for a moment believe that it will take four months to realize my desire. The belief in lack must from this day on be barren and never again reproduce itself in my mind.

It is not a man blasting a tree. Everything in the Bible takes place in the mind of man: the tree, the city, the people, everything. There is not a statement made in the Bible that does not represent some attribute of the human mind. They are all personifications of the mind and not things within the world.

Consciousness is the one and only reality. There is no one to whom we can turn after we discover that our own awareness is God. For God is the cause of all and there is nothing but God.

REMAIN FAITHFUL TO YOUR IDEA
Lecture Lesson #05 − Neville − Class Room Instruction    1948
Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

What is consciousness to you? All that is? All your thoughts? All your perceptions? All your beliefs?

How can consciousness be the only reality?

Find a highlighted statement above and write it on a card and read it every 8 hours. Contemplate it. See how that feels at the end of the day.

There is no lack except as you believe in it. There is no down economy except as you feed that idea and notice it. Abundance is all around. Have you noticed? You are a law maker unto yourself. When you decree a thing as real and feel it – it becomes your reality. You are the power imaginator of all of your life; imagine what you desire as a reality and it will be yours.
