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.This imaginary 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.

REMAIN FAITHFUL TO YOUR IDEA 

Lecture Lesson #05 − Neville Goddard − Class Room Instruction   1948

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 disolves 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, feeeling 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 expeience 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 somethings 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 interefere 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 and all things are possible to you! Dream big! Dream Often! Live In The End You Desire!

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 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 the power. Stop denying your power by choosing to exercise it lovingly on behalf of others. Try it – You'll Like it!

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

Application & Questions:

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!

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 whenit does you 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

Lecture #135 – Neville   10/19/1969

Application & Questions:

Have 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.

 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!

  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

Would 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!

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!

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
Lecture #405 − Neville    07/19/1968

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!

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 28^th 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 20^th 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 18^th 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 17^th 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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

YOUR MAKER

Lecture #88 – Neville    01/07/1969

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.

Quote Date: June 11th, 2009 

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.

Application & Questions:

Contemplate the perfect situation for work. Get a scene inside of you with hearing, seeing, or feeling something ideal and create it as real in your imagination. Put tones of reality on it. What would it be if it were true for you? Would you be excited? Would your future be bright and big? Would it seep into your dreams? Because you imagined it – you know it exists. Understand whatever you desire exists now for you. Think about what you want.

Find a highlighted statement above and write it on a card and read it every 4 hours this next week. Contemplate it. See how that feels at the end of the day.

Today enter an image you have only dared to think about. Actually enter it. Own it. Make it yours. Let this image unfold for you by receiving it now. Enjoy the dream and make it real. Let yourself have it on all the levels of your being.

All things exist. You are an expression of all things. You can feel any feeling. See any scene. Be in any imagining you partake of right now. As you learn to let loose and discover the freedom of using your imagination to POWER your world truly feel lovingly towards yourself and others. Let the past go. Let the dead bury the dead. Become anew in mind and imagination by daring to pursue your deeply held dreams. Jump start yourself on the road to passion, excitement, and love by imagining your ideal today. Don't put it off. STOP and make it happen right now within, Know what you want and receive it as yours right in this moment.

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.

Quote Date: May 13th, 2009

Whatsoever you desire,
believe you have received it
and you will

Scripture is filled with beautiful statements such as “  Ask and you will receive.” “Whatever you desire, believe you have received it and you will.” Parrot them and they are marbles, but  if you will take these profound statements and fondle them, dwell upon them and gradually absorb them, you will learn to live by them. Then you will not think in any other terms. So, like a handkerchief, begin to absorb the truth and no longer just accept it. Don’t accept the teaching as some little toy given to you from the outside. Tonight you ate dinner, and your system will assimilate all of the food it can, and expel the rest. And so it is with the mental food you eat. If what is heard is not absorbed, it is expelled, for it fell upon deaf ears. I could tell you night after night that you can be anything you want to be, if you will take my yoke upon you, but you must take that yoke and  put my words into action, not just accept them like the marble.

Now, Matthew  makes this statement: “Thank you Father that you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent and revealed them unto babes, for such was thy gracious will.” Then he adds, “No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” So, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (That’s the 11^th chapter of the book of Matthew).

Christianity teaches us to yoke ourselves to Christ by not eating meat on Friday, by attending church every Sunday and obeying all the man-made laws. But the Christ that I speak of is within you, and his yoke is so easy when your every thought is guided by love. And his burden is so light when everything you do is done in love.

Now, he sets you free by giving you this great law saying, “  Whatsoever you desire, believe you have received it and you will.” You mean regardless of my educational, social or financial background, that if I dare to assume I am that which I want to be, I will become it? Yes, if you will take my yoke upon you. My yoke is easy, for I am the creator of your life, and nothing is impossible to me.

Let Christ  yoke you just as Jacob yoked Esau. The outer you, moved by reason and the senses, says what you have imagined is not true, and Christ cannot help you unless you are willing to accept his help. But if he, who is pure imaginative power, yokes himself to reason, they will walk together into the fulfillment of desire. When you take his yoke, all things are possible.  So begin to walk this earth yoked, and completely abandon yourself to every desire that you would like to have in your life, and it will come to pass.

Application & Questions:

Have you received it already as yours? What? How can I receive it when I don't have it? Mentally and Spiritually accept and allow what you desire to be part of your consciousness. Right now. What would your experience be if you actually had what you desired or were who you truly wanted to be?

Many times we ask for something but forget to receive it as yours now. Have you forgot to receive after you have asked?  Go ahead and receive it now.

Find a highlighted statement above and write it on a card and read it every 4 hours. Contemplate it. See how that feels at the end of the day.

You deserve it all. And would you receive it all? Have you given yourself the mental equivalent of what you want to be, have or do? Do it now. You have the power as the creator of your life to be, do, or have what you desire. Want love? What would that feel like? Want conscious friends? What would that be as an experience for you? You have all the power you need to affect the changes into your life today. Begin in the end. Start using your power now.

Quote Date: May 8th, 2009

YOU MAY ACHIEVE ANY OBJECTIVE, AND PROVE TO YOURSELF THAT INVISIBLE STATES,
WHEN PROPERLY REARRANGED, WILL EXTERNALIZE WHAT THEY IMPLY 

 If everything exists, whether visible or invisible, then my father and mother who have departed this world exist, and would revel in anything that I accomplish here. Although my mother left this world in 1941 and my father in `59, I can bring them into my mind's eye and hear them speak of their pride in their son. Believing that everything I can conceive is part of the structure of the universe, I can assume they are fully aware of my accomplishments, so I listen to their joy.

Now, can I remain faithful to that scene? My faith is not going to give it reality, but my loyalty to the unseen reality will. I listen and remember what I heard, and in the tomorrows I continue to remember. Then, in its own appointed time, when that which I have been faithful to externalizes itself, I will have found the great secret of creation.

God tells us he does not create something out of nothing, for all things are! That he calls a thing that is not now seen as though it were seen, and the unseen becomes seen. (Romans 4:17) Instead of calling something out of nothing, you simply rearrange that which already is until it implies what you want. Then you remain loyal to that unseen reality.

Faith contains a power which can link you to a world where you are eternal.  Paul tells us to put our faith, not in the works of men, but in the power of God. And no earthly power - be it atomic, megatons of multi-megatons - can compare to that power!

Can you conceive of being a power so great that if you desire, you can stop the world? That you can make it stand still and see it as dead? Then release it and let the world continue to fulfill its so-called intentions?

Could you deal with such a power by changing your intentions, thus causing the world to be reanimated and do the opposite? That is the power which will be yours when you know you are one with the body of love, called the Everlasting Savior.

Contemplate this thought. On this level you may achieve any objective, and prove to yourself that invisible states, when properly rearranged, will externalize what they imply, for the potency of every imaginal act is in its implication.

CREATION - FAITH

Lecture #52 – Neville    05/20/1968

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription

Application & Questions:

Using an imaginal act about an objective you desire what would it imply if it were true?

Rearranging your mind to what you truly desire on the inside gets you what? A fulfilling feeling of having the desire now even though it hasn't happened yet. Take one thing and rearrange it as so it is fulfilled on the inside of your experience in the physical world even though it is not.

What is loyalty to an unseen reality? Practice feeling an unseen reality when you desire something else to happen. Revise over and over again until you believe it is true one unseen reality you'd like to have happen in your life. get emotionally charged about it.

Pause. Take a deep breathe. Pause. Think on the power you have to imagine anything you desire right now inside of you. Who controls this creative power inside of you? Of course it's you. Now, imagine a perfect solution to any of your problems. Imagine the most ideal situation coming true for you. Now realize that you are a force of nature that can't be stopped if you just believe in you.

Quote Date: April 25th, 2009

enter into the state and not simply think of the state.
Thinking from it differs from thinking of it.
I must learn to think from it

Blake makes the statement, “If the spectator could enter into the images in his Imagination, approach them on the fiery chariot of his contemplative thought, if he could make a friend and companion of any one of these images in his Imagination” well, he emphasized “ enter into the image,” not to contemplate it as something on the outside. I contemplate now New York City. I am seeing it from San Francisco. If my desire this night is to be in New York City, I say I can’t afford the time, or maybe I can’t afford it because of lack of funds, or maybe my commitments will tie me here − I don’t know, yet my desire is to be in New York City. I must, if I would realize it in spite of the limitations that now surround me (money, lack of time, obligations − call it what you will, I still want to be in New York City) I must enter into the image that is now something on the surface of the mind “out there,” 3,000 miles away. Standing here, I must shut out the belief that I am in San Francisco.

Knowing New York City quite well, I would assume I am standing in a most familiar part of New York City and let it surround me. I must be in it, and then think of San Francisco. I must now see it 3,000 miles to the west of me, as I now see New York City 3,000 miles to the east of me. If I go into that state and dwell in it and make it natural, though I remain in it only for a little while, a minute or so, then I open my eyes − I am shocked to find that I am still here. I came back here. I have done it. I have entered into the state of my desire and I will move across a bridge of incidents, a series of events that will lead me and compel me to take a journey to New York City.

Now, this I have used only as a spatial example. You can take it in a financial sense, take it in the social world; take it in any way whatsoever. That is what came to me a few days before I closed. For if I could find something more simple to tell them than I think I have told them, this would be it: to enter into the state and not simply think of the state. Thinking from it differs from thinking of it. I must learn to think from it. A man who this night came into a million dollars, from that moment that man is made aware that he has a million, when prior to that he had nothing. He is thinking from the consciousness of having a million dollars. He is not thinking of it; he is walking in the consciousness of having a million dollars. He’s not hoping for it, wishing for it; he is actually in it. That is what the vision revealed to me.

Even though at the end of my journey I will leave my things behind me (and they will all be as though they were made of clay – all cheaply made, at that), every man, not knowing this − in fact, how many know it or care to know it? They still want to realize their earthly dreams, and I am all for it; I teach it. But I cannot change the Promise. The Promise is fixed. That is something that will come to every being in this world, for it has been predetermined. But when we are here in this world of Caesar, I can cushion the blows – the inevitable blows – by learning the technique of Law and how to apply it, how to use it.

IMAGINATION

Lecture #412 – Neville    07/14/1969

Dare to Assume Private Lecture Subscription

Application & Questions:

What does it mean to enter into a state?

What does it mean to think of a state or think from the state? Isn't thinking from a state is where you entered into it and claim it as yours already? You wear it like a coat as something you put yourself into as an experience, Yes?

Why do most people fail in their prayers?
Because they do not receive what they are praying for on the inside. Think of one desire you would like to have in your life. Build a image or picture of already having this. Imagine what it would be like from the perspective you have what you desire. How would that feel?

Entering into a state is about knowing you are the owner and operant power of being, living, loving, imagining, and having that state. In your imagination you can be anything you desire. Imagine it and it does become a reality if you add faith, conviction, and intensity. There is only one power flowing through the Universe and you can use it. It resides within you. It is called "Imagination."

Quote Date: April 19th, 2009

By creating an ideal within your mental sphere, you can approximate yourself to it until you become one with it; thereby, absorbing its qualities into the core of your being.

Don’t blame, only resolve. Life, like music, can turn its discords into harmonies. Represent your friend to yourself as already expressing his desires, knowing that the attitude you approach for another, approaches you.

How can you do this? By focusing your attention on your friend. Mentally call his name just as you would were you to see him on the street. Imagine he has answered you, then mentally hear his voice telling you of his good fortune. Then tell him of your joy. 

After mentally hearing what you wanted to hear and feeling the thrill of the good news, go about your daily task. Your imagined conversation will awaken what it affirmed, as your acceptance of the end wills the means. And the wisest reflection could never devise the means as effective as those which are willed by the acceptance of the end. 

Now, your imagined conversation with your friend must not express any doubt as to the truth of what you hear and say. You must control your imagination, for if you do not, you will discover you are hearing and saying what you formerly did. We are creatures of habit and, although habit is not law, it acts as though it is.

Knowing the power of imagination, become disciplined and transform your world by imagining and feeling only what is lovely and of good report. The beautiful ideas you awaken within yourself will not fail to arouse their affinity in others. Do not wait for the harvest, today is the day to discipline your imagination. 

Man is only limited by weakness of attention and poverty of imagination. The great secret is a controlled imagination and a well-sustained attention, firmly and repeatedly focused on the object to be accomplished.  

Now is the time to give beauty for ashes, joy for mourning and praise for the spirit of heaviness, that you may be called a tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.

By control, I do not mean restraint, but cultivation through love and compassion. The thought, “As the world is, so is the individual” should be changed to, “As the individual is, so is the world.” 

Zechariah tells us: “Let no man imagine evil in his heart against his neighbor.” What a wonderful challenge, for as you imagine, so you are! By creating an ideal within your mental sphere, you can approximate yourself to it until you become one with it; thereby, absorbing its qualities into the core of your being.

YOUR INDESTRUCTIBLE IMAGINATION 

Lecture #234 - Neville    No Date 

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription  

 Application & Questions:

Right now in this moment imagine an ideal situation for yourself or a friend. What would it be like if it was true?                                                                  

Notice that your acceptance of what you imagined as real actually brings you to what you want or creates a pattern to accept it very soon as a part of your reality.

Look at quote and find an inspiration highlighted text above that inspires you the most and ask yourself - "How can I take this part of the quote and make it part of my life today?"

Taking your imagination and imagine beauty for where ashes once was gives you back the power you already have. You have the power to change your world with your imagined, rehearsed, conditioned response to what you might determine to be the "bad stuff "in your life. You are the maker of your future. What do you want to imagine as true for you? You have the power to unfold what is within your imagination in your quantum field called "Outside Appearances?"

Quote Date: April 11th, 2009

what you are inwardly saying and doing is far more important than what you outwardly know or seemingly outwardly express

Today we give you a technique to make it easier but man finds it very hard to leave the things to which he has grown accustomed. We are all grown stuck in the habitual. It may seem strange but a very sordid cartoon appeared years ago – that is during the last war. You might have seen it, it came out in the NEW YORKER and it is one by George Price . In it is one single little room, a sink piled high with dirty dishes, plaster falling from the walls, and these two middle-aged people, she sitting on a chair reading a letter, disheveled, matted hair, and he with torn clothes, and feet stuck upon the table and socks exposing holes, and the caption of the picture is this. She is reading a letter from her soldier son abroad: “He says he’s homesick.” Now you should see the interior of this house – one room, completely disheveled – but the lad was homesick! 

Now man finds it difficult to detach himself from the habitual; so this morning we have brought you these three propositions, and I hope I can make it clear that you can with this knowledge apply it so you can reach your every objective. It is the height of folly to expect changes to come about by the mere passage of time, for that which requires a state of consciousness to produce its effect could not be effective without such a state of consciousness. So if I must be in the consciousness of the thing that I am seeking before I find it, then the only thing to do is to acquire that state of consciousness. Most of us do not even know what we mean by state of consciousness. To those who are here for the first time, it is simply meant by state of consciousness the sum total of all that a man believes and accepts and consents to as true. Now it need not be true; it may be, but it need not be true, it could be false, it could be a half truth, it could be a lie, it could be a superstition, it could be a prejudice, but the sum total of all that a man believes constitutes his state of consciousness. It is the house in which he abides, and as long as he remains in that house similar problems will confront him, the circumstances of life will remain the same. He may move physically across the ends of the earth, but he will encounter similar conditions; he can’t get away from the house in which he abides. The Bible speaks of these houses as mansions of the Lord, it speaks of them as cities, it speaks of them as rooms, as upper rooms, all kinds of words are used to describe individual states of awareness. And the appeal in the Bible is to move out and occupy the upper story, meaning to move up to a higher level within one’s self. 

Now, if you do not know the state in which you abide, it’s a very simple technique you may employ to discover that state – for the man dwelling in a state, and we all dwell in states, could easily discover the state by listening within himself and observing his own mental conversations, for the state is singing its own song, and it reveals itself in man’s inner speech. If you will listen attentively and uncritically to what inwardly you are saying, you will discover the state. And it will not surprise you that things are as they are, for you will hear within yourself the cause of the phenomena of life. So that what you are inwardly saying and doing is far more important than what you outwardly know or seemingly outwardly express; so when a man knows what inwardly he is doing then he can change it. If you have never uncritically observed your reactions to life, if you are totally unaware of your subjective behavior, then you are unaware of the cause of the things in your world. But if you become aware of the state, then you simply go about changing it. 

THREE PROPOSITIONS

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription 

Application & Questions:

Today for this moment please notice your internal chatter that you are saying inwardly. What are you constantly saying to yourself? What state is being created on your outside world? Write that down.                                                                   

Is there other states of consciousness you'd like to visit instead of the one you are in. Take 30 seconds and imagine the ideal state you'd like to be in? What would you like to say to yourself in this state?

Look at quote and find an inspiration highlighted text above that inspires you the most and ask yourself - "How can I take this part of the quote and make it part of my life today?"

Believe in yourself. Believe in your vision that makes your heart sing. Open your self to the most loving state you could be in by opening your heart to loving you. You are the constant in your world. You are the powerful focuser in your life. Focus it on the place to do the most good. You. No matter what is on the outside of you – it is only a mirror reflecting your inner state of your living presence you believe in. Be Bold. Be Strong. Be Vulnerable. Let your heart and intuition guide you to your own heaven within. Love yourself unconditionally.

Quote Date: April 6th, 2009 

What would the feeling be like were you the person you would like to be?

How do you do it? By the act of feeling. Feel the tones of reality that would be yours were you wedded to the state of your fulfilled desire. What would the feeling be like were you the person you would like to be? Feeling moves you from one state to another. 

Everything is a state which is real, yet invisible. Not knowing this, and seeing no evidence to support your desired state, you may return to the former one. Expecting the new state to happen now, you don’t remain faithful to it. But if you will remain there until it becomes natural to think from that state, it will be born in your world. There is a period of time between your entrance into the invisible state and its visibility, and it has to come. Everything has an interval of time. The vision has its own appointed hour. If it seems long, wait. It is sure and it will not be late. A little sheep takes five months, a man nine months, a horse one year. All these are fixed intervals of time. 

How long will it take for a state to become objective? As long as it takes the nature of that seed to hatch. All you are called upon to do is to go into the state and remain there psychologically. Although you will continue to physically walk the earth as one person, as you think from your desired psychological state, it takes on physical tones and becomes a fact in your world. This is how you move from state to state as you wait for the promise of God to fulfill itself. 

ELECTION AND CHANGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Lecture #215 – Neville     02/24/1963

Neville Lectures to Change Your World Subscription 

 Application & Questions:

Take a moment in your busy schedule to pause and think of what is invisible in your world. Isn't love invisible? Isn't freedom invisible? Isn't the support and power of the universe for you invisible? Everything you now have once was NOT in your life and it was invisible. What would you like to feel is now invisible and create the reality of visibility?                                                                        

Name 5 states you enter in each day? Sadness? Happiness? Love? Courage? Fear? Jealousy? Security? Wealth? Poverty? Unemployed? Employee? Not Enough? More than enough?

Look at quote and find an inspiration highlighted text above that inspires you the most and ask yourself - "How can I take this part of the quote and make it part of my life today?"

States of consciousness are on every level from infancy to supreme inside of you. You have the power right now to feel exactly what you desire. To surround yourself inside with feelings of any state you truly desire. YOU HAVE THE POWER. The Power to transform any inner state to what you intend it to be without permission from anyone. You have the inner power to change your circumstances and conditions just by changing the feeling and living experience you feel on the inside to what you want it to be.

Quote Date: March 28th, 2009 

Everyone is here for image making and to learn lessons, and the Being who sent you here came with you and He has never left you

We are here on theirs earth as in a great schoolroom we were not sent here to be punished, but to learn to become creators like our Father. There is no "original sin" for God made the decision to send me to "school.” In fact I was "dead." I existed only for God, the creator of the perfect system, and then came the decision to subject me to this schoolroom in the hope I would be set free in the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Given the choice what child would go to school? But loving the child the parents subject it to that training. How many years are taken from children's lives and given to learning? It is the same with us, only it is a vaster school.

So let no one tell you that you did anything wrong in being born. These coats of skin were prepared for us, for they help man – the invisible reality to become conscious. And then some certain teachers sent by God to tell them of the only value in the world and that is to awake. But if in the awakening to want a better home, a finer job, better health, then try to create it. Failure does not matter; you are learning. If you persist you will win. " You create by Faith. By Faith the worlds were made and sustained. Things that are made from things that do not appear. So what would it be like if you were the man you want to be? See the world as you would like to see it.

Let me define Imagination for you. It is spiritual sensation, but the word “spiritual” is to most of us something that is not practical; the incorporeal as opposed to the corporeal. But  Imagination is the power to perceive what is absent from the senses. Take arose, there is not one here, but right now could I sense it in any way? Smell it? Touch it? I can, though It Is absent from the senses. That is Imagination. If Imagination creates Reality, such perception of what is absent from the senses makes it so. We have unnumbered case histories to prove it.  Imagination is the power to perceive what is absent from the senses and if you persist you go beyond the sense man and go beyond the rational man."The natural man receives not the things of  the spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him.

How I can discern my home spiritually. I cannot see it with my physical eye or touch it with my physical hands, "but in Imagination I can do both. You may say, I do not have a home. Well, you do the same thing with a home you do not yet own. Do it with funds you do not now possess. Nothing has quite the same smell as money, or the same sound. If it is money you want use every sense to make it real. But do not say, "I perceive it because I know it is there." To exercise the Imagination you see something that is not yet there. Then we get beyond the natural man. Like the lady who in five days brought about a complete transformation in her hands.  Everyone is here for image making and to learn lessons, and the Being who sent you here came with you and He has never left you. He became you and lit you with Himself. As he lit man he awoke through the passage prepared for him into this schoolroom called earth. And then as he is lifted up he is embraced and given the ring and the fatted calf. "For this is my son who was dead and now lives again.” For the first state was death and then comes the quickening of this state and he was lost; now he is found again.” 

“That which is already has been; that which is to be already has been, and God seeks that, which was driven away." So he drives him out by taking him out of mind. He is seeking Jacob in the Old Testament, and in the New Testament, Jesus. For when he finds him he is Jesus. As he finds him his is the reality of being which is Jesus. He will find him in every being in the world.  When this begins to awaken in you the old form cannot contain it any more than saw wine can be contained in old bottles. You cannot take this new wine of truth and confine it to the old dogma; it will blow it apart.- So it has to take a new form as the Spirit begins to awaken within one.

THAT WHICH ALREADY HAS BEEN

Lecture #304 – Neville  10/06/1959

 Application & Questions:

Take a minute right now and imagine a certain amount of money coming into your life. Don't worry about the path or way that it comes. Just feel this increase as yours already. Feel excited and thrilled that you have already received it. Get into the meditative state where your relaxed and feeling, hearing, or seeing this amount come to you already. It is already done.

Take the highlight text and meditate on them morning and night and bring them more into your life by letting them exist inside of you throughout the day.

Look at quote and find an inspiration highlighted text above that inspires you the most and ask yourself - "How can I take this part of the quote and make it part of my life today?"

Bringing a new awareness of God expressing you from the inside to the outside. Let yourself feel equal to any task that is before. Let your lovely passions out and let them in you to be expressing more life. Bless those thoughts that don't 100% work for you and let them go by focusing now on what you want to be surrounded by. Imagine now that you are surrounded by what you want. Feel it. See it. Touch it. Experience it. Be it. Now let it be you.

Quote Date: March 25th, 2009 

NOTHING IS INDEPENDENT OF THE PERCEIVER

Nothing in the world is untrue if you want it to be true.  You are the truth of everything that you perceive. “ I am the truth, and the way, and the life” revealed. If I have physically nothing in my pocket, then in Imagination I have much. That is a lie based on fact, but truth is based on the intensity of my imagination, and then I will create it in my world. Should I accept facts and use them as to what I should imagine? No. It is told us in the story of the fig tree. It did not bear for three years. One said, “Cut it down; throw it away.” But the keeper of the vineyard pleaded, “No!” Who is the tree? I am the tree; you are the tree. We bear or we do not. But the keeper said he would dig around the tree and feed it – or manures it, as we would say today – and see if it will not bear. Well, I do that here every week and try to get the tree – you, me to bear.  You should bear whatever you desire. If you want to be happily married, you should be. The world is only response. If you want money, get it. Everything is a dream anyway. In a dream you could be fabulous, but it is still a dream. When you awake and know what you are creating and that you are creating it – that is a different thing.

The greatest of books is the Bible, but it has been taken from a moral basis and it is all weeping and tears. It seems almost ruthless as given to us in the gospel, if taken literally. The New Testament interprets the Old Testament, and it has nothing to do with morals.  You change your mind and stay in that changed state until it unfolds. Man thinks he has to work himself out of something, but it is God asleep in you as a living soul, and then we are reborn as a life-giving spirit. We do it here in this little classroom called Earth – beyond the grave, for you cannot die. You can be just as asleep as beyond the grave. I meet them constantly, and they are just like this: same loves and same hates. No change. They will go through it until they finally awake, until they cease to react and begin to act.

Do not take this story lightly, which I have told you tonight. Take it to heart. Tonight when you are driving home, enact a scene – no matter what it is. Forget good and evil. Enact a scene that implies you have what you desire, and to the degree that you are faithful to that state, it will unfold in your world and no power can stop it, for there is no other power.

Nothing is independent of your perception of it, and this goes for that great philosopher among us who is still claiming that everything is independent of the perceiver – but that the perceiver has certain powers. It is not so. Nothing is independent of the perceiver. Everything is “burned up” when I cease to behold it. It may exist for another, but not for me. Let us make our dream a noble one, for the world is infinite response to you, the being you want to be.

You are aware. You are alive. You can see, touch, and feel. You are the powerful perceiver of your reality! Own it!

Quote Date: March 12th, 2009 

Through your ability to think and feel you have dominion over all creation

Feeling a state produces that state. The part you play on the world’s stage is determined by your conception of yourself. By feeling your wish fulfilled and quietly relaxing into sleep, you cast yourself in a star role to be played on earth tomorrow, and while asleep you are rehearsed and instructed in your part.

The acceptance of the end automatically wills the means of realization. Make no mistake about this. If, as you prepare for sleep, you do not consciously feel yourself in the state of the answered wish, then you will take with you into the chamber of her who conceived you the sum total of the reactions and feelings of the waking day; and while asleep you will be instructed in the manner in which they will be expressed tomorrow. You will rise believing that you are a free agent, not realizing that every action and event of the day is predetermined by your concept of self as you fell asleep. Your only freedom then is your freedom of reaction. You are free to choose how you feel and react to the day’s drama, but the drama – the actions, events and circumstances of the day – have already been determined.

Unless you consciously and purposely define the attitude of mind with which you go to sleep, you unconsciously go to sleep in the composite attitude of mind made up of all feelings and reactions of the day. Every reaction makes a subconscious impression and, unless counteracted by an opposite and more dominant feeling, is the cause of future actions.

Ideas enveloped in feeling are creative actions. Use your divine right wisely. Through your ability to think and feel you have dominion over all creation.

While you are awake you are a gardener selecting seed for your garden, but “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” Your conception of yourself as you fall asleep is the seed you drop into the ground of the subconscious. Dropping off to sleep feeling satisfied and happy compels conditions and events to appear in your world which confirm these attitudes of mind.

Sleep is the door into heaven. What you take in as a feeling you bring out as a condition, action, or object in space. So sleep in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. “As in consciousness so on earth.”

Application & Questions:

What kind of states have you consciously imagined yourself into lately?
Did you know that your mind doesn't know the difference between an imagined state and an outside "real" state you experience or are experiencing?

the subconscious out-pictures the idea in the imagE and likeness of the feeling received

Think feelingly only of the state you desire to realize. Feeling the reality of the state sought and living and acting on that conviction is the way of all seeming miracles. All changes of expression are brought about through a change of feeling. A change of feeling is a change of destiny. All creation occurs in the domain of the subconscious. What you must acquire, then, is a reflective control of the operation of the subconscious, that is, control of your ideas and feelings.

Chance or accident is not responsible for the things that happen to you; nor is predestined fate the author of your fortune or misfortune. Your subconscious impressions determine the conditions of your world. The subconscious is not selective; it is impersonal and no respecter of persons. The subconscious is not concerned with the truth or falsity of your feeling. It always accepts as true that which you feel to be true. Feeling is the assent of the subconscious to the truth of that which is declared to be true. Because of this quality of the subconscious there is nothing impossible to man. Whatever the mind of man can conceive and feel as true, the subconscious can and must objectify. Your feelings create the pattern from which your world is fashioned, and a change of feeling is a change of pattern.

The subconscious never fails to express that which has been impressed upon it. The moment it receives an impression it begins to work out the ways of its expression. It accepts the feeling impressed upon it, your feeling, as a fact existing within itself and immediately sets about to produce in the outer or objective world the exact likeness of that feeling. The subconscious never alters the accepted beliefs of man. It out-pictures them to the last detail whether or not they are beneficial.

In defining your objective you must be concerned only with the objective itself. The manner of expression or the difficulties involved are not to be considered by you. To think feelingly on any state impresses it on the subconscious. Therefore, if you dwell on difficulties, barriers or delay, the subconscious, by its very non-selective nature, accepts the feelings of difficulties and obstacles as your request and proceeds to produce them in your outer world.

The subconscious is the womb of creation. It receives the idea unto itself through the feelings of man. It never changes the idea received, but always gives it form. Hence the subconscious out-pictures the idea in the image and likeness of the feeling received. To feel a state as hopeless or impossible is to impress the sub
