Clairvoyance & 23rd Psalm Ch 24 & 25 Your Faith Is Your Fortune by Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard. Your faith is your fortune. Chapter 24 Clairvoyance Count of Monte Cristo. I think I mentioned it before, clairvoyantly, because I didn't realize it was in here, but here it is. Having eyes see ye not and having ears hear ye not and do ye not remember. Mark 8, 18. True clairvoyance rests not in your ability to see things beyond the range of human vision, but rather in your ability to understand that which you see. A financial statement can be seen by anyone, but very few can read a financial statement. The capacity to interpret the statement in the mark of clear, seen or clairvoyance. That every object, both animate and inanimate, is enveloped in a liquid light which moves and pulsates with an energy far more radiant than the objects themselves. No one knows better than the author, but he also knows that the ability to see such auras is not equal to the ability to understand that which one sees in the world around about him. To illustrate this point, here is a story with which the whole world is familiar, yet only the true mystic or clairvoyant has ever really seen it. We're going to cover synopses, paragraphs and then commentary paragraphs. We're going to go. We're going to bounce back and forth here. The story of Dumas. Dumas. Excuse me. The story of Dumas, Count of Monte Cristo, is to the mystic and true clairvoyant the biography of every man. Remember, Neville and Abdullah went to the movie theater to see this together. The movie came out in 1934. I do not know when they went. I forget that lecture date. But here is the movie broken down. The story of Dumas's Count of Monte Cristo is to the mystic and true clairvoyant the biography of every man. Edwin. Edmund. Excuse me. Edmund Dantes. A young sailor finds the captain of his ship dead. Taking command of the ship in the midst of a storm swept sea, he attempts to steer the ship into a safe anchorage. That's the Synopsis, the commentary on that. Life itself is a storm swept sea with which man wrestles as he tries to steer himself into a haven of rest. Synopsis 2 Andantes is a secret document which must be given to a man he does not know, but who will make himself known to the young sailor in due time. This document is a plan to set the Emperor Napoleon free from his prison on the isle of Elba. Commentary 2. Within every man is the secret plan that will set free the mighty emperor within himself. Who is this mighty emperor within ourselves? I am all that is God, that is the I am inside of every one of us. There's our self concept, there's what the person we are being and creating. Synopsis 3 as Dantes reaches port, three men who by their flattery and praise have succeeded in worming their way into the good graces of the present king, fearing any change that would alter their positions in the government, have the young Mariner arrested and committed to the catacombs. Commentary 3 Man, in his attempt to find security in this world, is misled by the false lights of greed, vanity and power. Most men believe that fame, great wealth or political power would secure them against the storms of life. So they seek to acquire these as the anchors of their life, only to find that in their search for these they gradually lose the knowledge of their true being. If man places his faith in things other than himself, that in which his faith is placed will in time destroy him, at which time he will be as one, imprisoned in confusion and despair. When he puts his faith in things out here, when he puts his faith away from himself in a God outside, the God is inside. Every self concept you are, every self concept you are or have the capacity to be is from within. So as he just described, when man puts his faith in the outside, that's where the confusion and despair because of that imprisonment. Okay? Synopsis 4 Here in this tomb, Dantes is forgotten and left to rot. Many years pass. Then one day, Dantes, who is by this time a living skeleton, hears a knock on his wall. Right Answering this knock, he hears the voice of one on the other side of the stone. In response to this voice, Dantes removes the stone and discovers an old priest who has been in prison so long that no one knows the reason for his imprisonment or the length of time he has been there. Oh my gosh. Not funny. Funny, right? Commentary 4 here, behind these walls of mental darkness, man remains in what appears to be a living death. After years of disappointment, man turns from these false friends and he discovers within himself the Ancient One, his awareness of being, who has been buried since the day he first believed himself to be man and forgot he was God. After years of disappointment, man turns from these false friends and he discovers within himself the Ancient One who He who was buried since the day he first believed himself to be man and forgot he was God. He believed himself to be man and forgot forgot he was God. Synopsis 5 the Old Priest had spent many years digging his way out of this living tomb, only to discover that he had dug his way into Dantes tomb again. It's a great movie, and I highly recommend the 1934 black and white version, the original, and there's actually a new one that just came out in French I think, in 2024, as a matter of fact. So there's going to be a fourth one. It's probably going to be subtitled, which is kind of sad because you want to see the action happen and not have to worry about reading, but it's still going to be good. I don't know if there's access online yet, but I did see a trailer for it. So you have the original 1934 version, you have a remake, I don't remember when, and then you have another one also later, and they're all great, but the first one is outstanding. Back to Synopsis 5 the Old Priest had spent many years digging his way out of this living tomb, only to discover that he had dug his way into Dantes tomb. He then resigns himself to his fate and decides to find his joy and freedom by instructing Dantes in all that he knows concerning the mysteries of life, and to aid him to escape as well. Dantes at first is impatient to acquire all this information, but the old priest, with infinite patience garnered through his long imprisonment, shows Dantes how unfit he is to receive this knowledge in his present unprepared, anxious mind. So, with philosophic calm, he slowly reveals to the young man the mysteries of life and time. They have nothing but time on their hands. Commentary 5 this revelation is so wonderful that when man first hears it, he wants to acquire it all at once. But when he finds that after numberless years spent in the belief of being man, he has so completely forgotten his true identity that he is now incapable of absorbing this memory all at once. He also discovers that he can do so only in proportion to his letting go of all human values and opinions, letting go of those outside things that have clouded up the expression of the self. The limitations that exist here in the self by this influence seem to be all there is, and that is not all there is. When the memory floods in that you are part within you is all that is God I am, then you can change expression. Synopsis 6 as Dantes ripens under the old priest's instructions, the old man finds himself living more and more in the consciousness of Dantes. Finally he imparts his last bit of wisdom to Dantes, making him competent to handle positions of trust. He then tells him of an inexhaustible treasure buried on the isle of Monte Cristo. Commentary 6 as man drops these cherished human values. He absorbs more and more of the light. As he drops these precious as he drops these cherished human values from without, he absorbs more and more of the light which is the old priest, until finally he becomes the light and knows himself to be the Ancient One. He begins to know that he is the Ancient One. I am the light of the world. Synopsis 7 as this revelation. Excuse me. At this revelation, the walls of the catacomb which separated them from the ocean cave of Excuse me, let me clean that one. At this revelation, the walls of the catacomb which separated them from the ocean above cave. In crushing the old man to death, the guards, discovering the accident, sew the old priest's body into a sack and prepare to cast it out to the sea. As they leave to get a stretcher, Dantes removes the body of the old priest and sews himself into the bag. The guards, unaware of this change of bodies and believing him to be the old man, throw Dantes into the water. Commentary 7 the flowing of both blood and water in the death of the old priest is comparable to the flow of blood and water from the side of Jesus as the Roman soldiers pierced him. The phenomenon which always takes place at birth here is symbolizing the birth of a higher consciousness. Dante's Synopsis 8 Dantes frees himself from the sack, goes to the isle of Monte Cristo and discovers the buried treasure. Then, armed with this fabulous wealth and this superhuman wisdom, he discards his human identity of Edmond Dantes and assumes the title of the Count of Monte Cristo. Commentary 8 Man discovers his awareness of being to be the inexhaustible treasure of the universe. Inexhaustible treasure of the universe. In that day when man makes this discovery, he dies as man and awakes as God. Yes, Edmond Dantes becomes the Count of Monte Cristo. Man becomes Christian Christ. 23rd Psalm 1. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. 2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. 3. He leadeth me beside the still waters. Commentary 1. My awareness is my Lord and shepherd. That which I am aware of being is the sheep that follow me. So good a shepherd is my awareness of being. It has never lost one sheep or thing that I am aware of being. My consciousness is a voice calling in the wilderness of human confusion, calling all that I am conscious of being to follow me so well do my sheep know my voice. They have never failed to respond to my call, nor will there come a time when that which I am convinced that I am will fail to find me. I am an open door for all that I am to enter. I am an open door for all that I am to enter. My awareness of being is Lord and shepherd of my life. My awareness of being My awareness of being is my Lord and shepherd of my life. Now I know I shall never be in need of proof or lack the evidence of that which I am aware of being. Knowing this, I shall become aware of being great, loving, wealthy, healthy, and all other attributes that I admire. It just feels good. That's commentary one commentary two back to 23rd Psalm number two he maketh me to lie down in green pastures. Here's commentary 2. My awareness of being magnifies all that I am aware of being. So there is ever an abundance of that which I am conscious of being. There is ever an abundance of that which I am conscious of being. Ever an abundance. It makes no difference what it is that man is conscious of being, he will find it eternally springing in his world. The Lord's measure, man's conception of himself, your concept of yourself, the Lord's measure is always pressed down, shaken together, and Running over Commentary 3 There is no need to fight for that which I am conscious of being for all that I am conscious of being shall be led to me as effortlessly as a shepherd leads his flock to the still waters of a quiet spring. That was part three of the 23rd Psalm. He leadeth me beside the still waters. I'll repeat the sentence of the commentary 3. There is no need to fight for that which I am conscious of being. For all that I am conscious of being shall be led to me as effortlessly as a shepherd leads his flock to the still waters of a quiet spring. 4 Synopsis 4 He restoreth my soul he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Commentary 4 Now that my memory is restored so that I know I am the Lord, and beside me there is no God, my kingdom is restored My kingdom, which became dismembered in the day that I believed in powers apart from myself, is now fully restored. My kingdom, when I believed in the powers apart from myself. That's gone. Now I am fully restored. When I am aware of my when I am fully conscious of my awareness of being. When I become aware of being, now that I am now that I know my awareness of being is God, I shall make the right use of this knowledge by becoming aware of being that which I desire to be. Synopsis 5 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will Fear no evil, for thou out with me thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Commentary 5 yes, though I walk through all the confusion and changing opinions of men, I will fear no evil. For I have found consciousness to be that which makes the confusion. Having in my own case restored it to its rightful place and dignity, I shall, in spite of the confusion, out picture that which I am now conscious of being, and the very confusion will echo and reflect my own dignity. Synopsis 6 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil my cup runneth over. Commentary 6 In the face of seeming opposition and conflict, I shall succeed, for I will continue to out picture the abundance that I am now conscious of being my head. Consciousness will continue to overflow with the joy of being God, and it is this will become whatever you stake your claim upon. And that is you impressing abundance and then expressing abundance. First, your abundance is already within you, infinitely in supply, infinitely in supply. There is no lack of anything in consciousness. Once you impress your consciousness with that abundance. Now you have the keys changing to anything you want, anything you desire, anything you want to express. You want to express. I am that I am. I am happily married, I am wealthy, I am healthy, I am free. You already have access to the infinite supply of that infinitely tied into that. 7 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I will dwell in the house of the lord forever. Commentary 7 Because I am now conscious of being good and merciful, signs of goodness and mercy are compelled to follow me all the days of my life. For I will continue to dwell in the house or consciousness of being God forever. Oh my gosh, what a wonderful, wonderful chapter. And I really appreciate the Count of Monte Cristo having eyes see ye not having ears, hear ye not and do ye not remember Clairvoyance. My gosh, what a great chapter that was. Chapter 24. Just a few more to go. So much to glean from that. Boy, oh boy, what's your favorite part? I mean, there's some good stuff in here. Oh my gosh. I think I really appreciate the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. Because this whole idea, this whole idea of becoming aware of your being, you realize that you're tied in. You realize you've been infinite, infinitely plugged into all that is. So your supply is not without it's a continual is. You are, I am. You are it. You are all that is. You are God. That is your supply. So if you fashion it this way and you want to express it that way, you change your impression here within you. This is the only place your abundance exists. This is the only place your limitations exist is in your consciousness. This is the only place your lack of abundance exists. But you have an infinite supply. Once you change this self concept and become this self concept, once you prove it to yourself in the smallest of ways, like I said in the last video, try and disprove it. The main thing is definitely disprove it. And there's that climbing the ladder technique mentioned so many times, which is very wonderful. When I tried that the first time, I think the morning at 5am I saw the video for the first time and I wrote down on some post its, like five post its. And by I think nine, nine o' clock the same morning I was on a ladder. You have to be convinced of anything more if you don't know the exercise. Basically you're writing down all day and putting on post its around you. 7 or 8, 10 post its. I will not climb a ladder. It's a very brief, you can look it up, but very brief description. You write down everywhere in your conscious awaking state little notes that say, I will not climb a ladder. It's in your wallet, it's on your steering wheel, it's on your mirror. I will not climb a ladder. I will not climb a ladder. And then when you're falling asleep for three nights in a row, you simply see yourself climbing the ladder by seeing a hand on the rung and a hand on another rung and see your feet, feel yourself going up this ladder, go all the way to the top and then go down to the bottom. Feel yourself climbing that ladder as you fall asleep for three nights. And within just a few days you'll be something will happen and you'll be on a ladder. And if you do this exercise and you see it happen, that is the simplest amount of information you need for proof that this works. That impressing your consciousness with anything is going to out picture it. I will not climb a ladder. Yet when you fall to sleep, that's when the impression happens. Your awake self is like, I'm not going to climb a ladder. I'm not going to climb a ladder. You see the notes, the post its etc. But then when you fall to sleep, you actually literally climb that ladder. You see it in your falling asleepness, right when you're drifting into the sleep. Maybe do it when you wake up, but you just need to do it when you're asleep, you'll be on a ladder before you know it, within just a few days. And even if you don't work on ladders, even if you're never around ladders, something will put you on a ladder because this is the proof that you're doing it. So once you get that little bit of proof, the parking space is another example that I talked about. The pizza, free coffee, a rose, a butterfly, a certain color butterfly, it doesn't matter, just do one, prove one, see it work. Once you see any small thing work, you'll realize yes, if it worked, if it worked on that small level, it works on all levels. So all you're simply doing is becoming aware of this new found old trick that you had the whole time. All right. Wonderful, wonderful. Chapter clairvoyance. Your faith is your fortune. That was chapter 24. I'll see you in the next video.
