Be Ears That Hear Ch 23 Your Faith Is Your Fortune by Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard. Your faith is your fortune. Chapter 23. Be ears that hear. Let these sayings sink down into your ears. For the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men. Luke 9:44. Let these sayings sink down into your ears. For the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men. Be not as those who have eyes that see not and ears that hear not. Let these revelations sink deep into your ears. For after the sun. After the sun. Remember the sun. Let me show you again. After the sun, I am all that is God. After the sun, which you're conceiving from yourself here, you're putting the sun into being. Because you are giving birth to the concept in consciousness. Here in the experience, in the expression where you are not experiencing the event. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter. I am healthy, I am free, I am in love. The son of that idea is what you are breathing life into. Let these revelations sink deep into your ears. After. For after the Son is conceived, man, with his false values, which are reason, will attempt to explain the why and wherefore of the Son's expression, and in so doing will rend him to pieces. Let these revelations sink deep into your ears. And. For after the son is conceived, man, with his false values, will attempt to explain the why and wherefore of the Son's expression, the Son's expression, and in so doing will rend him to pieces. That's like the facts. That's. That's the. The analysis. After men have agreed that a certain thing is humanly possible. Excuse me. After men have agreed that a certain thing is humanly impossible and therefore cannot be done. Let someone accomplish the impossible thing. The wisest. I'm sorry, the wise ones who said it could not be done will begin to tell you why and how it happened. After they are all through tearing the seamless robe. That's the cause of manifestation. After they are all through tearing the seamless robe apart, they will be as far from the truth as they were when they proclaimed it impossible. As long as man looks for the cause of expression in places other than the expresser, he looks in vain. As long as man looks for the causes of expression, they look for it in vain. Oh, you can't get pregnant. What? How are you pregnant? It's impossible. They look for the reasoning in vain. This is the doctor telling somebody they have an incurable disease. And through this use of this law, they don't have an incurable disease. Then they look for the reason. For thousands of years, man has been told. I I am the resurrection and the life. No manifestation cometh unto me, save I draw it. But man will not believe it. He prefers to believe in causes outside of himself. He prefers to believe in causes outside of himself. Why not make it easier to point? The moment that witch was not seen becomes seen. Man is ready to explain the cause and purpose of its appearance. Thus the Son of man is constantly being destroyed at the hands of man. The Son of Man being the idea, desiring manifestation and then being destroyed at the hands. Which is the reasonable explanation or wisdom of man. Thus the Son of Man is constantly being destroyed at the hands or at the hands of man. Now that your awareness is revealed to you as cause of all expression, do not return to the darkness of Egypt with its many gods. There is but one God. The one and only God is your awareness. The one and only God is your awareness. Any self concept you are experiencing or expressing. There's only one God, that's the God of your awareness. And all inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing. And he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth. And none can stay his hand or say unto him, what doest thou? If the whole world should agree that a certain thing could not be expressed, and yet you became aware of being, that which they had agreed could not be expressed, you would express it. Your awareness never asks permission to express that which you are aware of being. It does so naturally and without effort, in spite of the wisdom of man and all opposition. Anything you're wishing to express that you give birth to, and it becomes a reality in your expression, in your life. And you transform and. And you detach. And you're now expressing that new idea. It doesn't matter what anybody says, whether what's possible or not. Ears that hear, eyes that see. We're back to Simon selective hearing. If someone's telling you that it's not possible. No, I don't accept that. I don't accept that. I believe it is possible. And I will hold in the faith. I will claim, I will decree, I, I will become, I am that. If you listen to rumors and outside sources, this is a dead end. This is going to keep you in a loop right here. If you listen to this information telling you no, then you're stuck here. You're never going to make the claim. You're never going to give birth to the idea that gives you the freedom you're after, or the health, or the love. You have to ignore the outside, ignore what your senses are showing you. And Go within. Close the door in secret. Catch that feeling. Feel it real. Watch it become. Salute no man. By the way, this is not a command to be insolent or unfriendly. But a reminder not to recognize a superior. Not to see anyone a barrier to your expression. Not to see anyone a barrier to your expression. None can stay your hand or question your ability to express that which you are conscious of being. None can stay your hand or question your ability to express that which you are conscious of being. If you're conscious of being in love, you will become. It's just going to happen. You will not stop it. When you express it, when you impress. I'm sorry. When you impress it, when you impress it upon your consciousness, it is already. It already is. You already made the movement. You made the movement inside. Therefore it will become. Do not judge after the appearances of a thing. For all are as nothing in the eyes of God. When the disciples, through their judgment of appearances saw the insane child. They thought it a more difficult problem to solve and than others they had seen. And so they failed to achieve a cure. In judging after appearances. They forgot that all things were possible to God. Hypnotized as they were by the reality of appearances. They could not feel the naturalness of sanity. It brings up the story of. And I forget which lecture it was, but there was a. There was a teacher after hearing the lecture of Neville speaking on this exact subject. Went was in a situation where they had a student that was troublesome. And they were on the. At the moment where they were going to expel this child. The teacher. I'm just paraphrasing here. But the teacher went to the lecture, heard Neville discuss this law. And after that lecture went home and imagined lovingly for the child. Imagined it basically doing better in school, basically coming around. It was very. A very troublesome, rebellious child that was about to be expelled. Well, the teacher went in her closet and shut the door and did her prayer and imagined lovingly for that child. And that child. It turned around so 180, 180 degrees. That there was no need to expel the child anymore. The child was doing good, getting better grades, et cetera, et cetera, all down the line. But this one person did the imagining. One teacher. And the whole staff was willing and voted on expelling this child. But one person, just one. Put together the idea within herself, imagined lovingly for that child, created the concept, conceived the concept of the child doing better, doing good, not needing to be expelled, etc. Within one day the birth of that Expression happened and the child was not, did not get expelled. It's an unbelievable story as it sounds, but here he says it right there. And judging after the appearances, they forgot all things were possible to God. All things were possible. This gal in the lecture, she remembered and she did. She did the prayer, she did the imagining lovingly. She sacrificed the self of hers that believed that the child was troublesome and just. Just needed to be pushed away. That self that believed that she sacrificed that self and became that new self that believed the child was doing really good. What does that take? It's just a little bit of imagination. Hypnotized as they were by the reality of appearances, they could not feel the naturalness of sanity. The only way for you to avoid such failures is to constantly bear in mind that your awareness is the Almighty. Your awareness, the all wise presence without help. This unknown presence within you. Effortlessly out pictures that which you are aware of being. Effortlessly out pictures that which you are aware of being. Be perfectly indifferent to the evidence of the senses so that you may feel the naturalness of your desire and your desire will be realized. This teacher felt it totally natural for the child to be doing better. Just felt it in a natural manner within her. Turn from appearances and feel the naturalness of that perfect perception within yourself. A quality never to be distrusted or doubted. Perfect perception within yourself. A quality never to be distrusted or doubted. That perfect perception within yourself. What is that? That is your I am your awareness of being. It's understanding you will never lead us. It's understanding will never lead you astray. Your desire is the solution of your problem. The teacher had the desire for the child to be better. That's a simple, simple desire. She had a simple desire, the teacher, for the child to be doing better. That desire was within. Here. Where the problem was manifest in this expression of the teacher's existence was the problem. The problem was the child was doing bad and was about to be expelled. The solution to the problem lie within. The same expression through a desire came into the teacher for the student to do better. Hence going to the Neville lecture. Hence hearing the lesson. Hence applying the lesson that night. Hence seeing the birth of the new situation. The very night she heard the lesson. Your desire is the solution to your problem. As the desire is realized, the problem is dissolved. There's a lot of water words here. Solution. Right? Dissolved. Right. Remember, the firmament is the firm attitude, the firm conviction, the firmness with which you apply this. The firm approach. This moves the water within you. It's the water within you 4D, remember, once you move that water, like on the face of the waters, and the movement happens, then 3D is only a shadow of that movement. You're moving that water. You cannot force anything outwardly by the mightiest effort of the will. You cannot force anything outwardly by the mightiest effort of the will. There's only one way you can command the things you want, and that is by assuming the consciousness of the things desired. There's only one way the willpower is not going to make it happen. Willpower alone is not the answer. And you can try as you may, try as you might. And you can spend a lot of time, energy and effort here and trying to apply willpower, but is not going to be the solution to the problem. The solution is to go into the closet, shut the door, and pray to the Father. That is, close off the senses. The Father's in here. Imagination. Apply the solution. See the feeling of the result. Feel the feeling. See the feeling. Feel the feeling of the result of the experience. The child's doing better in class. The child does not need to be expelled. The child is happy. The child is free. Therefore, I am free. Will you feel that Here the experience happens? There's a vast difference between feeling a thing and merely knowing it intellectually, as I just mentioned. See it, then feel it. You have to feel it. You must accept without reservation the fact that by possessing a thing in consciousness, you have commanded the reality that causes it to come. To come into. Into. Excuse me, let me repeat this. You must accept without reservation the fact that by possessing the feeling. That by possessing a thing in consciousness, you have commanded the reality that causes it to come into existence in concrete form. You must be absolutely convinced of an unbroken connection between the invisible reality and its visible manifestation. You must be absolutely convinced of an unbroken connection between the invisible reality here where you're having in your. In your feeling, in your imagination, with your eyes closed. You must be absolutely convinced of an unbroken connection between the invisible reality and its visible manifestation. You must be convinced. Your inner acceptance must become an intense, unalterable conviction which transcends both reason and intellect, renouncing entirely any belief in the reality of the externalization, except as a reflection of an inner state of consciousness. When you really understand and believe these things, you have. When you really understand and believe these things, you will have built up so profound a certainty that nothing can shake you. Let me try and clean up that sentence. When you really understand and believe these things, you will have built up so profound a certainty that nothing can shake you, you will become convinced. It will become a tool that you use consistently. From the small things to the tall things, from the grasshopper to the giant. Once you get that conviction flowing, you're only trying to convince one person. You're only trying to convince one self concept. This is only one. You don't have to try and go and convince everything out here or any of your other self concepts. You're just trying to convince you so you can consciously become aware of your ability to do this, to jump self concepts. Your desires are the invisible realities which respond only to the commands of God. God commands the invisible to appear by claiming himself to be the thing commanded. He made himself equal with God and found it not robbery to do the works of God. Listen to that. He made himself equal with God and found it not robbery to do the works of God. These things will happen so effortlessly when they come into your life. The bridge of incidents. You'll think it's miracles. You'll think it's robbery. And for some reason to some that you might even feel guilty for having this power. The power to create through your imagination. You might even feel guilty that you can have anything. Wait, I'm not supposed to just have anything I want. You might feel like it's robbing. There's robbing from. You're not taking anything from anybody when you're in your own reality. This is your own self concept from God, from the source, from all that is from the I am. You have one sliver here and in that sliver can be gotten anything. You can change this self concept into this self concept. I'm not happily married. I am happily married. There's no robbing any other self concepts. There's nothing coming from another except by you, save by me. You're not taking from anywhere in the world. There's no such thing as your bank account being full and overflowing and then others having a lack of money because yours is full and overflowing. There's no such limited concept in the eyes of all that is him. God. It is only abundance pouring forth. Another liquid term, by the way. Now let this saying seek. Let me repeat the phrase. He made himself equal with God and found it not robbery to do the works of God. Now let this saying sink deep. Let this saying sink deep in your ear. It's all in capital. So let me get ready for it. Be conscious of being that which you want to appear. Be conscious of being that which you want to appear. Just be conscious of it. I am that. Be conscious of being that which you want to appear. Whatever it is, I am free. I am healthy. I am happily married. Whichever it is you want to appear, be conscious of being it. What an intense chapter. Be ears that hear. Let these sayings sink down into your ears. For the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men. The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. The Son of Man is your desire. And giving birth to that desire through conscious awareness of it. Like he's saying here, conscious of being. Then born of that conscious awareness is the Son of that idea. What a wonderful chapter. Oh, my goodness. Your faith is your fortune. Where are we? At the earzad? Here. Chapter 23. There's such good pieces in this. I don't know what your favorite part was. If you have one, write it in there. Or if you got something from it. What a good one. All right, we'll see you in the next one.
