Be Master Of The Mood – Neville Goddard (04-10-1964) | Full Reading + Commentary

Neville Goddard 1964 lectures Be Master of the Mood April 10, 1964. Tonight's subject is Be Master of the Mood. First of all, I want to thank you for your perfectly wonderful letters. Another windfall this week. One gentleman enclosed eight pages thick, another six, a lady two. And so it goes. Perfectly marvelous, really. The gentleman with eight said he only started coming here when I returned this past November, gave me this perfectly wonderful epistle. Tonight we will tie them in. Not all of them. We can't use all, but tie a few with the deep part of the story, which is taken from the 42nd Psalm. And how we read the Bible. First of all, we are told the threefold cord is not quickly broken. The first strand is that which anyone who can read will discover when they read the story. What you can't read, you can listen to the story. And the one who can read it for you can tell you, if he can tell it with understanding, so you understand the story. That's one strand. Then there's a second strand, for that is simply a story. But it's secondary to his meaning. And you try to extract the meaning of the story told. Then you must put it to the test, because you are the operant power. If you can take what you extract or think you've extracted and test it and it proves itself in performance, you have the second strand and the third comes by Revelation. And you'll find every passage of the Bible autobiographical. Every chapter of the Bible will be seen eventually in an autobiographical manner. So we'll take the 42nd tonight and show you how it is seen after one has had the experience as an autobiographical chapter. He's experienced it on the surface it's called a maskil M A S K I L A maskal. There are 13 maskals in the Psalms. This is the second of the 13. So called a maskul is simply special instruction. That's really what it is, unlike all the other Psalms. Read the Maschal. You'll find that they are telling you something very, very deep and don't let go. Just read it and ponder it and simply scrutinize it carefully, for it has something very profound in it. That's a maskal. Take the Psalm, a psalm of loneliness. And here it is trying to give us instruction concerning the overcoming of loneliness. So here, as you read it, everyone suffers eventually, if not in the past or today, sometime in one's life, they have a sense of loneliness, where it may be through the loss of some human company, but in this case it isn't for the beginning of it is a thirst for God that nothing in this world can satisfy but an experience of God. You could be among millions of people and he's alone, but he can't be entertained by things outside of himself. He wants to find God. And so here in this thirst, he said, as the heart panteth after the water brook, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsts for God. When will I come and behold the face of God? My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me, and they say continually, where is your God? Verses 1 through 3. Funny thing about this quote is Hart and I don't know if it's a misspelling, but it says H A R T. But the other part that's funny in here as well is again, if you've been here from the beginning, you start to see through the lines and like a mascul, you read between the lines. And this particular quote of Scripture, where is your God is. Where is your imagining? It's like asking somebody, what is it you're focusing on, dude, if you're bummed, why do you keep looking at what's making you bummed? Why do you keep focusing on just that? And I'm speaking practically, of course, but if someone's very happy, you're like, what's making you so happy? Why do you feel so good? It's the same thing. Where is your God? Well, your God's focused because your mat God is your imagination. And in your imagination you've put something lovely. If you're having a good time and you are all of a sudden very happy and everybody's looking at you like, what's making you so happy? Go lucky right now, because that's where your God is. That's what I take from that scripture reading between the lines. Let's get into it. And so here is this bruised body, as it were, the scoffers knowing his interest in God, his belief in God, and he can't prove the existence of God, and they throw it up at him. He has not a thing to prove the existence of God, the reality of God, yet he cannot quench the thirst with anything that happens on the outside. It's a thirst for God that only an experience of God can satisfy. So here, first of all, he confesses his own sorrow and. And then he tries to urge his soul to find rest and hope in the certainty of God. But he himself is not sure of this reality of God. He believes in God. He hasn't had the experience of God. So he's urging his soul to really find rest and hope in the reality of God. So he makes the statement hope in God. After he tells himself, why is this soul of mine cast down? Why art thou cast down, O soul? Excuse me, let me repeat. Why art thou cast down, O soul? Why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for yet again I will praise him, he who is my help and my God. Then he gives us a cue, if you can take tonight, as one of my friends said, said in a case, history may be totally unaware of what he did, but he was using this psalm. So in this he gives us a cue that in his self communion I find no rest. I cannot in some way, in some strange way find the peace that I seek. Then I could, by consultation with the past, find it. And so he said, these things I remember as I pour out my soul. And. And then he itemizes the things that he remembers. Excuse me, the first one. He remembers how I went with the throng and how I led them in procession to the house of God. And then the crowds, they were gay crowds and they sang these songs of praise and thanksgiving. And it was a multitude, not just a few, a multitude keeping festival, verse four. Excuse me. He remembers that, so he claims. But that was not the satisfying experience that he wanted of God. And everyone wants it. Well, here I'll tell you one story and how this gentleman used this unwittingly. For if I cannot by self communion find the peace that I seek, then I can employ this communion with time, consultation with the past. So he writes this story. I can only take the three of his stories. The first one, he said, excuse me again. I wanted really seriously to have my son say to me, you're the greatest dad in the world. And so that night before I retired, I simply imagined I heard his voice. And he said to me, you're the greatest dad in the world. I did it twice. I told no one and then dropped it. On Christmas morning when I opened the presents and opened my son's present to me, he had bought it himself with his own money. A present he wanted only for me. It wasn't something that could be shared with my wife, just my present. It was a gold plated cup on a wooden bowl. And on the wooden bowl there was brass for some inscription. And on it he had it inscribed, the world's greatest dad. Now he said he kept it to himself. He didn't mention it to anyone, not even to his wife, just simply inwardly, he imagined it. He assumed that he heard it told no one and did it twice. Funny, when I. When I joined the military and I went. I went away to the Navy. I wanted to. After growing up, there's a maturity that happened within me. I was aged 18 when I went in. And when I realized all of this stuff inside of me about my own dad, it was like I wanted to buy him a trophy that said the exact same thing on it, literally. I wrote him some wonderful letters while I was in the Navy. But the point is, I did want to make a trophy saying that because it dawned on me and it opened within me the realization of how much respect, responsibility a man had taken on. Just a man, just a person with a wife and seven kids in the house and one breadwinner. He was that one breadwinner. And the amount of stress and responsibility, it dawned on me as I was in my throngs of learning and going to school. I was in School for 15 months, first in the military and then off to the fleet, as it were, to become an electrician. But a lot of responsibility that was, to me, new as a young teenager or older teenager, 19, realizing all that and then writing letters. But I always wanted to make a trophy. And that's my testimonial from the other side. Who knows what he was thinking at the time, because, of course, you know, I don't have him here to ask. But on his end, there must have been some imagining happening, because the time I would. I would gather to say I was probably playing Esau, more so. But all wonderful. All this is wonderful, isn't it? Isn't it wonderful? Then he said, remember, this is a guy who imagined his son telling him that did it two times. Then he said, the same month of December, I went to the grocery store, and as I went through the door, here was a friend of my son. This chap is called Gary. He was selling mistletoe. He didn't look very happy about it. And so I said, gary, how are sales going? He said, they aren't going very well. Well, I got outside by myself. I went into the silence, and I heard my son say to me that Gary sold all the mistletoe, all the mistletoe, and he made a profit of $14. Who's gonna take their time and simply imagine lovingly, it doesn't cost anything. He could have reached in his pocket and bought all the mistletoe, but that would have been like mercy to the kid, I imagine. In this case, he imagined lovingly, simply, you can't beat this. Listen to this. When I got Outside, by myself. I went into the silence and I heard my son say to me that Garry sold all the mistletoe and he made a profit of $14. So he said, I can't tell you why I picked out $14 other than the boy is only 12. And I thought $14 profit was good for this time. It's enough for a lad of 12. And so I just said, I heard my son say he sold all the mistletoe and. And he made a profit of $14. Well, two days before Christmas, when I came into the living room, I noticed among the decorations some holly. And I inquired, well, where did the holly come from? My son said, well, Gary had some leftover and he gave me some holly. So then I asked, what happened to the mistletoe? Oh, he said he sold all the mistletoe and he made a profit of $14. Well, now, these are two. How do you beat that? Straight up testimonial right there. It doesn't get any more real. Now, this is where his consultation with time comes in. He said, at my home, looking from my dining room, I could see in the past a beautiful landscaped hillside about a quarter of a mile away. And then the neighbor next door grew bamboo. And the bamboo came up six to eight feet above my hedge and blocked off completely this lovely view of mine. And all the benefit I got from the bamboo. When the wind blew, I got all the leaves. And so I didn't want to do anything about it physically or say anything to my neighbor, but I sat at my dining room table again. I did not tell anyone what I'm doing or what I did, but I saw the past. That is, I saw the hillside as it used to be seen by me, sitting where I'm sitting now. I saw it clearly in my mind's eye because I closed eyes to the obvious. And in my imagination, I recalled the scene of the past and felt satisfied in seeing that same wonderful, beautiful scene of the past. Ten days later, when I come, when I came home, my wife said to me, have you heard the news? And I wondered, what news? She said, our neighbor is going to cut down the bamboo. Well, in the immediate present, the neighbor took down the bamboo, and he said, strangely enough, it was so detailed in keeping with my image where mine would go over now and take my vision and put it over the fence. There is still bamboo out there, lots of it. But only the bamboo that blocked my vision, only that was removed in keeping with exactly what I did. Seeded seed, seated at my dining room table. Then he goes on and gives me another five perfectly marvelous ones. But here, these five prophets, he's telling us to consult with the past. He said, these things I remember. And they're only joyful things among the things that he remembered. Not one sad note in the things remembered. So if I, by communion with myself, cannot dispel the loneliness. Then I can just fall upon another aid and remember something lovely in my life, something perfectly marvelous. And once more consult with the past and put myself into that state. For I'm just moving from one state into another state. And so that's what he did in this third case, history. But here's another one. And you watch this because you must get intense about it. A gentleman who is in the audience tonight, he writes this. That he finds, of course, he's an artist. And so maybe he has to fire his imagination with some peculiar twist. As he said, a negative twist. And so this is what I do. I stand in a long line for a deposit in the bank. And very last, I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed that I have to wait in this long line to make a big fat deposit. And so I get a kick out of my own annoyance. Because I'm annoyed that I have a big fat chat in my hand to deposit at the end of this long line. He said, that's the twist in my mind. And so I'll go back eight years. I was new to TV eight years ago. And so one day I discovered my house needed painting. When at the moment, I didn't have the funds for a real job of painting the house. And so this is what I did. I imagined the house painted. I was annoyed with the painters at the window. They could see me taking a shower. That annoyed me that they could look right on me and see me taking a shower. And then I saw and could smell the wet paint. Then I took my hand, all in my imagination, and put it on the paint. I didn't trust the sign, and it was wet. So I get more. So I got more annoyed that I had paint on my hands. Well, he said, you must listen to these folks details. Because they all make the difference here. Well, he said the very next morning after I did this. Remember, that was all in imagination. I had written a pilot which was under consideration back East. So I called my agent. And I asked the agent if he had any news about the pilot. He said no, but I was just about to call you because he mentioned this person by name. He just called me and asked me if you would take $21,000 cash for your residuals. Well, he said, at the moment, I didn't know I had residuals. I was so new in the business I didn't realize I had residuals coming from things already shot. But this man appeared, bought out his partner. He's a producer. Undoubtedly he bought out his partner and was trying to buy out everyone connected with this series and hold it all for himself and was trying to get it for 45 cents on the dollar. So my agent said to me, knowing this man's attitude towards money and how he operates, I'm going to suggest that you take this $21,000 and, and just run like a thief because just take it and take the 21,000. So he said, I did. And to my knowledge, I don't think anyone else in the series ever received anything from their residuals. But he said, I was so new in the business I didn't realize I had residuals. So the house was painted. No doubt that house job cost. About that house painting job probably cost fifteen hundred dollars. Maybe. Maybe twelve hundred at that time. Maybe even less. Funny. Just the funny. When we add zeros to numbers and we think, you know, I don't know what we think. So he annoys. So he annoys. If you want to get annoyed, if it will make you annoyed to put your hand on wet paint when you can't afford the paint, but if you put your hand on wet paint, the paint must be there. This is a very fine point and a very fine detail you must put. He's using emotion. He's using feeling. Seth. I gotta go to Seth. You gotta give him props for this. You create your own reality, right? The five words Y C Y O R. And the subtext or the continuing text would be by your thoughts, beliefs and emotions. Now that's the Seth material. That's the teacher Seth speaking to Jane Roberts, dictated to Robert Butts, who is the scribe who wrote it all down in perfect detail. Thoughts, beliefs and emotions are the same exact thing that Neville's continuously telling us. You feel it real. What is feeling but emotion? Thought. We're separated from the animals by mind and speech. God gave man mind and speech. That separates us completely. Thoughts, beliefs, beliefs, like a conviction. Okay? And emotions. There's the value right there of feeling what you're thinking, what you believe and how you feel about it. This is how you create thoughts, beliefs and emotions. That's the roadway that Seth paved so we can get us to see that in the Neville language. Feeling it real with your mind, that's where imagination is. That's where God is This is all semantics. This is all just words describing the same. Same exact thing. That's what's so beautiful about all this. There's like octaves of music. You have a higher note and a lower note, but they're the same. They're the same note. Let's say it's in C. Middle C on a piano. And then you go one octave to the left. And you know, I think the left's bass. In the piano world. I don't play piano. Play bass guitar. Play guitar. You go right. What is it? Eight keys or whites and blacks? Twelve. I don't know. Excuse me. Eight, eight notes, right? A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Then the next. The next beginning is an octave. So that's eight, eight steps or eight half steps. Excuse me, I'm not trying to. The idea here is that you study the Seth material and you have a certain octave of information. You come into Neville, you go into the ho' oponopono as I described about myself. You have another octave of the same information. It's always about love. And you go into Neville. Now you've reached a serious octave. To me, a very, very wonderful octave. Seems complicated on the surface because he's using scripture, but he's really breaking down what scripture is here for. It's an instruction book. But it, to me at this point, I can say is the most rich octave I've ever encountered outside of the actual fact of experiencing it. I've been experiencing it and I've told you in the videos, I've been straight up about that stuff. Visions, dreams, seeing the babe, all of this stuff. My head exploding out of bodies. All of these things are octaves of the same thing. Whichever octave you happen to be in, it's okay. You're going to be playing the same note again shortly on a different level. Especially after you have these visions and these mystical experiences. But if you're here just for the law, that's great too. That's its own octave of value. The value being abundance. Abundance of love. Abundance of wealth. Abundance of health. Abundance of freedom. Abundance of thinking for yourself, learning for yourself. Emotions about putting your hand in wet paint and being annoyed. Being annoyed. Being last in line at the bank with this big fat check. Being annoyed by it is infusing it with emotion. Emotion is feeling. Feeling it real. If you're going to get annoyed because you have a long line waiting for a deposit of a big fat check, well, then, if that will do it, intensifying your imagination, then do it. For the thing is to get Your imagination worked to the point where it becomes real to you. But he did it, and he made it real. He used this sense of sight. He could see the man watching him while he was taking a shower. He could smell the paint. That's another sense. He could see the man watching him while he was taking a shower. Annoyed. That's emotion. Smelling the paint. That's a sense. One of the five senses right there. Or four. Remember, taste and touch could be considered one in the fourfold. What was it, that lecture? Fourfold. Something. So taste and touch could be considered one sense. It doesn't matter. Five, Separating taste and touch. But he's using another sense. He used the one where he sees the painter. Seeing him now, he smells the paint. That's two senses. He could smell the paint. That's another sense. He could feel the wet paint. Touch. That's another one. Now he's using sight. Now he's smelling the paint. Then he touched the wet paint. This is massive. He could feel the wet paint. That's another sense. And with his very annoyance, that's feeling took these senses and raised them to the nth degree. And then it worked and worked quickly. So in 24 hours, there was $21,000 cash waiting for him, which he took. He created, came out of supposedly nowhere. No one else took residuals. Now, that was a good one, man. You got to give that one a lot of credit. Three senses. And the emotion, the feeling. Powerful. Now, this is a cute one. I hope she's here tonight. But she wrote. She said, I am a grandmother. And last fall I made arrangements to go to the South Pacific and to the Orient. So I said to my little granddaughter, 2 years old, what would you like nanny to send you? Well, she discussed it with her mother, and together they came up with this request. A kangaroo. But a stuffed kangaroo. I said, all right, a stuffed kangaroo. So when I got to Australia, I looked at all the toys and I didn't like the kangaroos. So I sent her a little polar bear. I wrote the mother what I had done. So when the mother read the letter to the little child, only two years old, she said, I don't want a bear. I want a kangaroo. In the meanwhile, she had been talking all the time about her little kangaroo. She told her mother, her friends, anyone who would listen to her about the kangaroo. The little girl did. So when this lady came back, she heard anew that her granddaughter was greatly disappointed. And this little bear, in fact, wouldn't want it, really. But the bear hadn't yet arrived two weeks later the bear came and the little girl didn't want it. She would not have. She would have not a thing to do with it. And 48 hours later a package addressed to this little girl arrived. It was a stuffed kangaroo. And the little girl said, I knew that nanny bought me a kangaroo. The grandmother said to me in her letter, I never did, I never bought a kangaroo for her. I only bought and paid for one thing and that was the little bear. Now while I was gone, she in her imagination only accepted the kangaroo. Now excuse me. So 6,000 miles away some stock clerk is trying to explain the loss of a kangaroo. And the culprit is the little two year old girl right here in the city. And so these are the stories that came in the weeks mail. All sheer fantasy, all based upon this conscious use of one's imagination to create reality. But we are the operant power. It doesn't operate itself. When you know what to do well then you do it. Just do it. Now we go back to the great psalm. He paints this wonderful story of something that he remembered. This thing, he remembered these things I remember. And then he said as I pour out my soul. And he starts with joining with this enormous crowd. And he led them, I led them to the house of God. He had. Excuse me. He led a procession to the house of God. And they were all joyful, singing praises of gladness and thanksgiving to God. And then he saw this enormous multitude, a huge multitude in a festive light keeping festival. I tell you the day will come and you open that bible and look at it. You will be looking at it through the eyes of one who experienced it. That's autobiographical. This comes first. Long before the kind of experience he wanted. But not a thing could satisfy him. He wanted an actual experience of God. But in this you don't see God. He wants to see God. He said, when will I come and behold the face of God? That experience, you do not see God, you only hear God's voice. And so in this wonderful festive mood where there are unnumbered, you can't number them. Multitudes all moving towards the house of God, this wonderful sanctuary. And you having the experience, you will lead them. You will actually be the leader, the dominant character in that entire drama. And you will hear a voice. And the voice is the voice of authority, the voice of God. And the voice will say, and God walks with them. One of the crowd of this wonderful gay praising crowd will ask the voice, you didn't see the face. I'm sorry, you don't see the Face, if God walks with us, where is he? And the same voice will come back at your side. And this one who is only a projection of yourself. The whole vast world is yourself made visible. Stamp that into your brain and know it. The whole vast world is yourself made visible. E, I, Y, P, O. Everyone is you pushed out, or everything is you pushed out. And this only one will excuse me, and this one will only respond and echo that which is taking place in you. Because the voice is now going to answer, because she is going to look right into your eyes and she's going to call you by name, the name that you respond to here, John, Robert, whatever the name is. And she's going to say, what is Robert, God? And the voice will respond and yes, in the act of waking. And she'll be hysterical. You now why? I think that's supposed to be K, N O W, but it reads N O W. You know why? Question mark. Because you are. You can't believe it. It's too great. You can't conceive that you really are God. In the act of waking, remember God became man so that you will wake up sometime and remember that you are Him. We're all in the act of waking. God became man so that we would become God. We're man. He put himself into us. The eternity is put into there. And so he had to respond in kind because you doubt. And so she has to doubt. And she only reflects that theme, not concerned so much as unbelief that is so great. And then the voice will speak from the depths of your own soul, and this is what you will hear. I laid myself down within you to sleep. And as I slept, I dreamed a dream. I dreamed. And then you will know the end of the sentence. He's dreaming that he's you. That's why all of this is taking place. He's taking you towards his holy place. And you will walk. Excuse me. And you will wake with an experience of the crucifixion. Your hands, your feet, your head and your side will be whirling vortices, each a vortex. And you will be nailed upon this body and awake on your bed where you had left it when you started the journey. So when you relive that, you will see it autobiographically. Whole thing is talking about your own experience. Ten years later will come the experiences that psalmist. I'm sorry, ten years later will come the experiences the psalmist wanted. But bear in mind, he wasn't asking for it, because the psalmist only received the dictation as we're told in the Book of Peter that no prophecy of scripture ever came by the impulse of man. But men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. So men are organized by divine providence for spiritual communication. And these are called the prophets. They take it down not knowing what they're taking down. So on one level, you can read the story and much of it doesn't make sense. Then you read it and read it and try to extract its meaning. And that's when you take the meaning extracted and put it to the test and make it prove itself in the testing, as the gentleman proved it without destroying anything. He didn't ask the neighbor to cut the bamboo. He didn't ask the neighbor to cut the bamboos down. The neighbor had the impulse, so he thought. But the neighbor's desire to cut them down originated in the vision, the imaginal vision of his neighbor, who saw clearly, sitting in the dining room where before he was obstructed by these, well, about six or eight feet tall bamboos above his fence. Or just remember the law. If you got a beef with something that's growing over your fence or above or blocking your sight line or whatever it is, you have the law. You just go into vision and just watch it unfold in your favor to your vision. Now, here's another one, blank space. This gentleman writes me that in 1933, going down the Danube from Vienna to Budapest, that he fell in love with the site of Budapest, the lights of the night, and pledged himself that someday he would have a view just like that. So when he came back to America, he came straight to California and bought and sought a home that would have a view, that would have a view comparable to this view. And he found one in the hills of Hollywood. He bought it for the view, just for the view. Well, he said he lived there for years. And recently someone planted poplar trees and they grew up to the point where they just were blocking his lovely view, which he lived for. Well, he saw the view and not the trees. He said, neville, did I misuse my imagination? Was it selfish of me the trees died? Not all the trees, only the poplar trees that block my view. Again, let me repeat this one little piece here. I might have went by it 100 miles an hour. He bought the. He bought it for the view, just for the view. Well, he said he lived there for years. And recently someone planted poplar trees and they grew up to the point where they were just blocking his lovely view, which he lived for. This sentence. Well, he saw the view, not the trees very important point he said Neville, did I misuse my imagination? Was it selfish of me the trees died? Not all the trees, only the poplar trees that blocked my view. Every tree in that area that blocked my view they died. And he had an orange tree and for reasons not explained to me the man chopped the orange tree down. Now he said I just noticed another little tree planted and the leaves are coming out. But knowing what I did with the papa trees I'm not concerned. He said I know having had the experience of God that God can't kill God and God being love. God can't kill love. There's the sentence. If you're ever concerned about what you're imagining if you ever have something you want, so what it's got all. It's all God. For some reason there's a fear of having an impact that it's just for me. That's what you're here for, the hatching out of me. Everyone is you pushed out. Everything is you pushed out. You're here to learn the hatching out. To be overly concerned with whether you're going to have an impact or not. That's not the point. The point is the hatching out of your desire, whatever that is. When the trees gone imagine them gone. That's a big point and I know it is a big point. And it's a place where we can be. I say we. I don't mean to say you let me say that's where I have become snagged before in case you happen to go where I have been snagged before. Be very mindful of that. Snagging where you think you're impacting others negatively when in fact you're here for the hatching out of your desires period. Full stop. This is all about you. It's always ever been about you and will forever and forever be about I am how simple sounds simple seems very simple on the surface. I know having had the experience of God that God can't kill God and God being love. God can't kill love. It only rearranges the furniture of the mind and lets something come in to conform to the structure of my imaginal act. For you can't kill love. We just went over that in a lecture recently and that one profound finally hit me between the eyes and I friggin love it. That's one of the best things I've read in this material. There's been a lot of great things in these. How many videos so far? I don't know but you can't murder love, I think was the phrase. That one really almost knocked me off my seat, man. I mean to tell you that this is profound, for you can't kill love. And God created all things. And as we're told, never would you have made anything had you not loved it. And if everything is you pushed out, guess where that responsibility is. And so you don't kill the tree when you burn the tree. You don't kill anything as you think. You destroy it, really. So that was blocking his view. And this thing in his mind's eye was so vivid when he came down the Danube on his way to Budapest. And that vision of Budapest was to him so thrilling that it influenced his choice of a home. Then to have someone block it, he couldn't stand it. So he too went forward and communicated with the past. He saw the city as he always saw it. He would have no trees block it. And so they died. He didn't ask the man to cut them down. And that could have been an argument because they grew on the man's property, not his property. That could have started some unpleasant conversation. And so, without asking anyone's permission, he saw clearly that clear, wonderful vista that he always enjoyed. So when you go back and when you read it and you see it in three levels, like the Ark, the Ark is built on three levels. On the lowest level, where is where man sense. On the lowest level is where man's senses with intelligence can read the story. But bear in mind that the story is like a dream. For these were taken down practically in a dream state. And so every dream is a parable, for these are all parables. But the story is secondary to the meaning of the story. So you get the meaning. Don't change one word of the story as it is. If it's good translation of the original text, leave it, for you're going to experience it. And that's the depth. One day you will experience this enormous journey toward the house of God. And you will hear the voice. And you will know with a thrill you've never known before who you are. For you are destined to awake as God. For the voice will say, yes, God, in the act of waking. Then the voice will speak to you from the depth of your own soul. And you will hear it and pass through the sensation of being nailed on this cross of flesh and blood. Then will come all the others. For you are told, now we're going to go up to Jerusalem, and all that is written about the Son of Man will be accomplished. I am going to Jerusalem. That's where you're headed when you find yourself in this enormous crowd. And all that is said of the son of man, that's you will be accomplished as you start this journey. By the time you get there, it is all accomplished. What was accomplished there in that grand city, its birth? Weren't you resurrected there? Who was resurrected there? That's where he's resurrected. And was it there that you saw David? It was David. It's called the City of David. And all these things will unfold within you. But here on this mastery of moods, it is so important that you actually observe yours and use anything to get out of a bad mood, but anything at all. If you want to use an irritation, like you're on a long line, like you're in a long line waiting to put in a huge big check, use it as an irritant if that is going to get you out of the mood of want, into the mood of affluence. Because if you can deposit a huge big check and annoyance goes with it, just be annoyed. Not a thing wrong with that. And so you want to have it painted and you can afford it. Excuse me, my Simon Peter man, I tell you, I literally saw the word C A N right there. And I did not see an apostrophe or a T literally with my eyes just now. Now as I look back, it says C A N apostrophe T. I literally the Simon Peter effect, man. It literally affects my vision. And so you want to have it painted and you can't afford it. And then you put your hands on wet paint and you get annoyed and then put your hand mentally on wet paint and get annoyed. Back to Simon Peter. If you believe in wealth, I am wealthy. Then what you read, you won't even read where it says you aren't wealthy. It says if you can't even let it in, I am healthy. And someone begins to talk about what makes man unhealthy. Whatever. I don't know, stuff in the water, stuff not in the water, stuff in food, stuff not in food. I don't even want to give voice to this stuff. And you know what I'm talking about. I am healthy trumps it all. So when someone starts to talk on that level of things, in things or out of things, Simon Peter goes to work and just blocks it. Or I revise what they're saying, live time, so that has an effect in their mind. Or I just do a 90 degree and start walking that way. Simon Peter is in effect to the point where I'm not Even reading a word properly. I love the joke. As my grandpappy said, believe nothing you hear and half of what you see. And I think that's way over amount as well. I heard a wonderful statement yesterday by a guy. I'm going to just paraphrase. The first thing is, you know, I think it was along the lines of either impressing or belief or I think it was belief about what you see. I think there's the idea of text being the first level. Then you believe a picture. Like a picture's worth a thousand words. Right. So I think it's the believability of. Of an impact. Text is one level, the lowest level, I think it was where it started. I'm paraphrasing. And the next level was a picture. Then the next lever, the next level of belief from a viewer would be seeing this in a recorded video. And I believe that was the next level. Then the next level was. Or no, it was a video. Yeah. Then the next level was something to do with a recording on video. And I think it was. I'm missing one there. But then the most impactful one was a live video. Was the most impactful of the communication concept here. From text. Literally believe nothing in what you hear. Maybe it's what you hear first, then what you read, then a video, then something like this. But the highest level of impact of impact was the actual live presentation, which is a commercial for me. I will be doing some lives soon and I haven't figured that out yet, but it's coming. But that's the most impactful because if the person sneezes or coughs, it's right there and it's real. And you can't actually fake that. You can't edit that. That's one of the main reasons I don't edit these videos. I want you to get the whole thing. You've seen me shed tears, you've seen me sneeze, you see me blow my nose. All I'm a real person. This is not AI. This is actually a person, man communicating to you from his experiences, from his wisdom, from the power of all of this material. And we're trying to create this thing together where we wake up and we realize we are he. I am he. My father and I are one. My father is greater than I. It doesn't change that I am he, equal. So this whole impact is from real. It isn't. There's some. There's some great. There's a great channel out there that. That's using Neville AI. And I think it's probably the one because it's actually Neville's voice. It's wonderful stuff. But I, you know, what are you experiencing? Are you going to experience AI? No. And if you're going to call your dreams AI, that's not happening here. Your own visions and dreams are not AI. They're actual intelligence. Yeah, they are AI. Excuse me, I take that back. AI is actual intelligence. Joking, kidding aside. Let's get back. No more rant. And so you want to have it painted and you can't afford it. And then you put your hands on wet paint and you get annoyed. And then put your hand mentally on wet paint and get annoyed. And so he has that quirk, and so he's creative. And yet maybe he needs that peculiar quirk of negation to spur his imagination to create. Maybe he does. But if he can't use that, that's a contribution of that to each who will accept it to bring here and share with me what they did. And then you can use that and apply that to business. If something annoys you in business, it's so big that you didn't have time to handle it when something would something annoy you. If the oil for blank space that you could fill, well, then get annoyed. It's far better that way than not have any oil. And so you take this and apply it wisely. It's a simple, simple technique. But I tell you the story of the lady who sits for one week and bathes herself emotionally with the feeling that she had security, but I have security. And she feels the way she would feel after she has confirmation of what the feeling is implying. Then one day, after her six days of vigilance, she gets confirmation that she receives now $540 from this fixed annuity. And then her Social Security for she's entitled to it. So together she has over $600 a month for the rest of her earthly days. She just spent the winter in Barbados. She called me long distance. She called me this past week to bring me news of the family in Barbados. And that was an extra gift that didn't come out of her $600 a month because she couldn't afford that for the time she spent in Barbados. But he who gave her this money that pays 540amonth said to her, I'm going to give you for a Christmas present. You are two months in Barbados. And that would mean I'm going to pay all expenses, including your hotel and transportation. So that was additional. She has accepted that way of living now. And this lady before this never earned more than $75 a week at any time in her life. Now that was a mood. Remember her mood? But I have security. She sat for one week and she bathed herself emotionally with the feeling that she had security. But. But I have security. Isn't it wonderful? See how everybody's applying it to their. They're tweaking it in their own way. It's wonderful. She never earned more than $75 a week at any time in her life. Now that was a mood. Even that was a mood. That was a controlled mood. She was simply a receptionist and a beauty parlor. And so before she left for work in the morning, she took her morning tub, as she told me. And while seated there, she would feel the way she would expect to feel after she had confirmation that she had financial security. Don't miss the fact that she was in a bathtub doing this. You cannot shake the reality that water is a symbol of feeling. Water is a symbol for belief. Water is a symbol for a lot of things. But what are you in when you're in the womb? You're in water, in salt water, believe it or not, as a whole. Nother subject. And it's a beautiful one with the earth's oceans. I have the same mineral profile as that water you're born in. But she was in a bathtub. I wanted to point this out. She was in a bathtub. And that water is a mood inflecting thing. And you couldn't do this any better. This is a great example of success right here. Sitting in a bathtub emotionally, feeling something is doubling the power, in my opinion. And so before she left for work in the morning, she took her morning tub, as she told me. And while seated there, she would feel the way she would expect to feel after she had confirmation that she had financial security. She bathed in it, as it were. What a wonderful way to put that, Neville. Then on Saturday night of that very week, she was informed by this man who did not entertain this thought until Wednesday of that week. She started on Monday morning and this man said to her all through the years that he knew her, I will never give you a nickel, so don't look forward to any money from me. They were friendly, they were friends. But he always said to her, we have had fun together. I've paid for all the expenses in this world, like the theater and all these things. That's all you're getting from my world, even in the face of complete denial. And she believed it until I said to her the previous week, don't you Read my books. Go back and read the story of a lady in the book called the Law and the Promise. And turn to the chapter called Moods. That lady was about your age. She's 56. And you tell me sometimes you're 55, the next time you're 55. Excuse me. And you tell me sometimes you'rE 55 and the next time you're 65, I don't know. So I would say you're both the same age. So you go back and read that book. But if you don't have the time to read it, let me tell you what she did. So I told her exactly what the lady did. This is now on a weekend. The following Monday morning, she began to put it into practice. So I made it very, very clear to her. You are the operant power. You are the operant power. Knowing what to do and doing it are two entirely different things. So she did it religiously for five mornings. On Saturday night, he said to her, I. I don't feel like going out to dinner tonight. Suppose we have dinner sent upstairs? And so they had dinner sent upstairs. And then he told her, I took one look at you Wednesday night, and I said to myself, calling himself by name, it's later than you think. So the very next day, he went down to his factory in Pennsylvania, called in his legal department and said to them, I don't want any if, ands or buts. I don't care what it costs. I want so much money. $540 a month paid to this lady. And I want it now. I don't want it next year. I want it to start immediately. So he figured out all that it would cost after the lump sum of money. He said, but your taxes alone will be 28,000. I don't care. It must be tax free. This gift is a tax free gift. So add the $28,000 to it, whatever it costs for this lady's age to receive for the rest of her earthly days. And furthermore, the money is a gift in this sense. She does not have to pay it back to me or to my estate. Should she precede me in death, she can throw it away. She can will it to a kennel. She can will it to anyone she wants in this world. It is her money. But she cannot touch the principal while she lives. I put this proviso only to protect her. Because I know when someone has that sort of principle, someone will know of it and then get it from her. So that is one proviso. She cannot dispose of principle while she lives. But she can give it away or tear it up in a will of hers when she's gone from this world. And so he paid the $28,000 extra to make it a tax free gift. That's a mood. At some point you have to realize it's you pushed out. Whatever you're going to do here, it's going to reflect there. That is the screen of space. She never was concerned about the how. She did not talk about the whom. It did not matter. That is never ever, ever the point. Do you know anybody who is rich? That does not make a damn difference. That is never about that. It is only about what is happening here. What kind of mood is here. And then it's reflected there. Wonderful testimonial. You don't get any better than that. I mean, there's so much rich ideas in this one testimonial alone. The bathtub to me is a huge one. Just the water, showers, the same thing. That's a mood. If you haven't read that chapter, it's the chapter called Moods in the Law and the Promise. It's also on this channel. You can look it up, type in Law and Promise Moods. It'll be a video separate, because I read all the chapters separate. You catch a mood and what would the feeling be like were it true? Well, then ask yourself the question. Suppose I had so and so. Well, what would the feeling be like if it were true? I'm going to remember. I'll put the link to Moods in this description box for you. Suppose I had so and so. Well, what would the feeling be like if it were true? What would it feel like if it were true? What would it feel like if it were true? That you had a 1986 Yugo in your driveway, 55 horsepower. What would it feel like if it were true? If you had a 20, 25 Ferrari or. What else is there? What's fun? What if you had a bizarre green Rolls Royce SUV in your driveway? What does it feel like if you have a set of keys? I don't have any keys in front of me. But if you had a set of keys, it's a key. Whether you. Does it matter which the key goes to? It's a key. It's a car key, a fob, whatever. Not the point. It's a key. Nowadays a key is a fob. It's the same thing. It's a key. You have a key in your hand. What difference does it make if that key is the metal key to the Yugo or the fob? To the Ferrari. I wanted to be as facetious as possible. The Rolls Royce, crazy green Rolls Royce suv. That's where I want to go. I saw one when I was biking on pch and it was a wild green. It was like, wow, that is a cool car. So what is the difference? If your consciousness is holding something in your hands, your consciousness is in here first, then outside of you. Everything's you pushed out. You, you have this key. One key you could choose is the 1986 Yugo, the mighty horsepower of 55, 55 horses under the hood. Or in this other imagining, you have the key fob in your hand and it's the Rolls Royce. There's a key here. There's a key here. Which key? Now walk to your driveway. What do you want to see? Do you see the Yugo? The tan Yugo, 1986. Wonderful car. I just saw one on the Internet a couple months ago. Let's take this rewind. Come back over here. Now come back into your driveway. Now you see the green Rolls Royce suv. You open the door, you sit in there. Now you're in the leather. You got the key fob. You don't even have to take the key out of your pocket. You can press a button. I don't know how it starts, but I imagine you press a button. They're all like that. Now that thing winds up, boy, it feels higher than. It feels higher than my old Yugo. Now you're higher up in your car. This is all in here. I am now in that green suv, Rolls Royce. It feels pretty good. I got cameras in every direction. I can press a button and see behind, in the side, in front, all that stuff. Well, let me back out of the driveway. Boom. Put it in reverse. All my screens are showing me what I need to see back there. So I don't need to worry about. I don't need to worry about cramping my neck looking back. How old fashioned is that? Now I can back out. Now I can just putt down the street. Now I'm at the corner. Make a left, make a right, make a left. Let me get on the freeway. Let me get this thing and see how fast it goes to 65. Of course, we never drive faster than that in Southern California. Oh, man, a bird just pooped on my windshield. Forget it. I'm getting off the freeway back to the car wash. Yes, give me the monthly car wash. Give me the highest one because I'm only going to treat this car with the best wax possible. Here's my credit card. All right, now I'm driving to the car wash, perfectly clean again. Don't even have to vacuum because it's all brand new right now in my imagination. Now I'm going back home. Pull back in the driveway. I'm in the driveway. Now I get out. Now I'm looking back at the car. Wow, that was fun. Walk back into my house. Okay, that's using God. That's an example of God in action. It does not get any simpler than that. Go to the little Pammy video and her wonderful, amazing four manifestations. Little Pammy had it right. If anybody has any children in their house or they're near some, just ask them to close their eyes and do what I just did. Watch it. Just watch what happens because that is God in action. If you're in your imagination doing what I just did, you know him, you found him. It's that simple. It really is that simple. Now, I put laughter in there. I put the. A little bit of annoyance at the bird poop on my windshield. I couldn't believe it. Got off the freeway, disappointed, went back to the car wash. I bought the best level about the monthly service on it. Now it's always going to be washed whenever I want to drive through there. If a bird comes near it, it's going to be clean again instantly. Emotion. Oh, I forgot. I got the little smelly thing they give me when I go to the drive to the car wash each time. So I hung that in there. I can smell that smell. It's not a bad smell. It's a good smell. I can feel the seats. I can feel the steering wheel. I saw everything as I drove by. Saw the park, saw the streets, saw the car wash. What a nice drive. I smelled, I saw, I felt touched. Oop. Hey, I'm back in the car. I forgot to take a drink. I forgot to take a drink of my cappuccino. Hmm, that's not bad. Now I just put everything together. I was touching, I was tasting, I was smelling, I was seeing, I was feeling. All those are the use of God. When you find him, you use him and you put it into your reality. You. You put it into your feelings. And your feelings are going to project it onto the screen of space. Suppose I had so and so. Well, what would the feeling be like if it were true? We just walk through it. Then you catch the feeling and you put on that feeling as you would a suit of clothes. You know, if you really put on a new hat for the first time, you think, nobody knows it's New, but you think that everyone knows it. And you feel uncomfortable in that hat until you wear it. Well, the feeling of affluence when you don't know what it is is so new a feeling that you feel just as uncomfortable in that feeling as you do with a new suit on. You walk down the street and a man buys a new suit for the first time. He has to walk around in it for a little while, and he actually has the mood that everyone knows it's new. He feels uncomfortable in that new suit until it. Until he breaks it in like a pair of new shoes. Nobody really knows or cares if you have a new suit, but you care and you know and you wear it until it seems natural. Well, you wear a mood until it seems natural. That ride you just took with me in that wonderfully green Rolls Royce suv, it feels natural. After this is over, when I go into the silence, I'm going to get back in and go for another drive, and it's going to feel more natural, okay? When it. Well, you wear a mood until it seems natural. And when it seems natural, it has taken root, and it will grow and bear fruit in your world. And I like to say it's going to project onto the screen of space. So these are the moods. You can make a mood very natural in a little while, but you must wear it. And so you just dwell upon it and see how. You read the Bible, and each chapter is telling you that below the surface is a message for you to increase your joy in this world. How do you beat that? Don't change it. Leave it just as it is. And one day you're going to experience that message in the depth of your soul. For who, on looking at the 42nd Psalm, would think for one moment that it's self communion that's done it? So he communes with himself in this psalm, and it didn't work. He communed with himself, but he didn't feel the relief that he sought. And then he took up time, passed time. And then he said, these are the things I remember. And then there was a joyful remembrance. Everything about it was happy and joyful. He tuned in on it and said, I will seek and praise the Lord, even though at the moment the soul cannot and the soul is cast down. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted with me? Then he asks to have hope, hope in God, and then try to repose and try to find some rest in this hope. Because first of all he asks you to hope in God. Long before you hear him or see him or experience him. Then try to find rest in that hope and that sympathy of God. And someday you will. So I never despair when someone tells me he's an atheist. Makes no difference. Very true. One day he will have the experience of God, and it doesn't make any difference now what's said after the experience of God. Khrushchev one day will experience God, Stalin will one day experience God. And in the end, all of their hands dripping in blood will be washed clean. No matter what he's done, it will all be washed clean. But today he brags about the fact that there is no God. He says there is no God, therefore it makes it so. But I tell you, I know from experience not only there's God, but God is love, infinite love. So you can always approach him. And the day will come, there's no one to approach because he has completed his gift. And his gift is to. To give you himself, not some little piece or part of him. He's going to completely give you himself that you can't then commune with him. You are he. It's self communion from then on. That whole thing we just did about driving in the car, that's self communion. And from then on, when you have this down, it's only about self communion moving forward. And then you just smile at this. You just smile like a loon. You look like some crazy, crazy person smiling all the time. And yet it doesn't rob you of the joy of knowing that infinite presence that once embraced you and made you one with himself. And you knew by that experience the joy of wearing the divine form of light. For love truly is the human form divine. And you once had the joy of wearing it. And you know, although you can't see it and mortal eye can't see it, still it will never detach from you. You are incorporated into that human form divine. An eye can't see it, but you feel it. And you've never been, I would say, at any time unaware of the fact that you wear it. From the very moment you are incorporated into it, you are fully conscious of the fact that you wear this form. And things seemingly, well, they may be more sensitive than man, but many a bird has sensed it, many an animal has sensed it and made you fully conscious of the fact that they are aware of it. And you can't breathe it because it doesn't make sense to any normal person. But then something that is actually a flying being, a bird, that and that bird will be arrested in its tracks that makes it very, very conscious of the fact, fully aware of the being that you are, and then your blank space. I've had it happen time and time again, even to a little thrush when I lived in Beverly Hills. This little thrush, every day of its life, I was there 10 months, it would bring me its gift. Its gift was a sprig. Come right up, follow my steps, look at me first to get my attention, and then drop it before me. Then one day, it got what it wanted. It wanted to get into my house. And so I let him. He walked around perfectly tame, and then I opened the door and out he went again. But not only one day did it fail to bring me a gift. The gift was to him, a marvelous gift. A sprig. I didn't feel the bird, I didn't encourage it, I didn't feed it. But I was fully aware of its knowledge and what it knew. So Blake made the statement, how do we know? But every bird that cuts the airy wind is an infinite world of delight closed by our senses. 5 He was not alone in his vision of the bird, the bird world. Victor Hugo saw it and described it beautifully. Many a mystic sees it and describes it beautifully, but we think they are just simply birds. And every bird that cuts the airy wind is an immense world of delight closed by our senses. 5 Man has no idea what is prepared for him when the gift is completed and his eye is open and he's wearing the human form divine. But in the meanwhile, use these moods wisely. Take any person and put yourself in a good mood relative to them. Help them, help every being in this world, and do it lovingly, costs you nothing. Go into the mood that someone told you good news concerning himself, wonderful news, and don't wait for confirmation. Believe in the reality of that imaginal act and go your way. There's a lady tonight in this audience. I haven't seen her in the longest while. In fact, I often encourage her not to come. She comes alone, comes from a far distance, and she finds driving at night not the easiest thing in this world. But I know this problem because her husband had it. And every medical doctor confirmed the other doctor that this open wound in his side could never heal. It could never heal. Exclamation point. He'd been going back to the hospital from time to time for further treatment, but everyone assured him that it would never heal, no tissue would grow. None whatsoever. Two months ago she said to him, now look here, let us stop this nonsense. You and I know this principle. The Law. We know how it works. You look into my eyes and you see the expression on my face when I know that that thing is cured. And I'm going to see on your face when you tell it. Remember, when two or more are gathered in my name, this is where fireworks go off. This is. This is way more impactful. When two or more. And he went to work doing it. And he did it daily. This was religious practicing. He said to her recently, I've got to go to the hospital. Call up and make a date for me today. This thing will not stay in my side. So they made a date, went to see the doctor, the family doctor. He took a look at it and said, why isn't this thing remaining in the side? Then he examined it, X rayed it. He said, this is a miracle. No one's going to believe this, but tissue has grown. That's why it can't remain in. He must have had some kind of thing poked into him. But I don't remember seeing that piece. No one's going to believe, but this tissue has grown. That's why it can't remain in. And you don't need any operation to clean up what is there. Now we can leave it just as it is. The tissue has started to grow in the most marvelous way. And not a thing can remain in there because the tissue will push it right out. It's all growing. And he's had that like a thorn in the sight of Paul. A constant reminder of his own mortality. Now the doctor saw it and the X rays confirm it. There's a new case of history. There's a new case. History. Blank space. Well, isn't that marvelous? Exclamation point. All by the use of imagination. Exclamation point. So I ask you simply to treat it naturally, but seriously. And believe when I tell you that an imaginal act creates the fact. And all day long you and I are creating all the confusion in the world, or the joy in the world, depending upon what we experience. Just like the little girl 6,000 miles away simply caused some person to fill an order that wasn't there. That's exactly what she wanted. And it came. So I'll hold the other stories for the next time. But still, because I have so many now, don't stop. Write them and write them and write them that I may share them with everyone who comes here. These are wonderful testimonials. I got to tell you, I love these, man. These are profound. Love it. I want them by the hundreds. Where did this mail go? If Victoria got it. I. I don't know that she valued it. I don't know anything about Victoria except for she recently passed away. She lived local to me here in Southern California, I think. Santa Monica, I believe. And boy, oh boy. I mean, that's archives of valuable, valuable archives right there. I know the Seth material is in the. Is that the Smithsonian? Maybe. But this body of material is also that valuable, similar akin to the Seth material, in my opinion, big time. Actual people putting to use the principles that Neville was espousing, which is basically just a breakdown of how the Bible works. The Bible works. The instruction book known as the Bible. Write them and write them and write them that I may share them with everyone who comes here. I. I want them by the hundreds. I have a few more weeks left and I still want as many as I possibly can get. Confirming the truth of what I'm talking about here. Now let us go into the silence. It good. Man, oh man. I just took another drive with my wife. The first time she wasn't in the car. This time she was. Wow, what a wonderful lecture. Oh, my goodness. I thought that was going to be some Q and A, but that's the end of it. I want them by the hundreds and I hope he got hundreds more. I would love to see that material published and I would think Natalie would have published it. She's done a wonderful job on these books. Be Master of the Mood, April 10, 1964. And I hope as an example, we definitely brought that to the surface and put that out. How to bring that mood to bear simply by closing your eyes, taking a bath, being annoyed, all kinds of great examples. What a great lecture. We'll see you in the next one.
