Consciousness Ch 2 The Power Of Awareness by Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard the power of awareness Chapter 2 Consciousness Consciousness this is going to be good. All right. It is only by a change of consciousness, by actually changing your concept of yourself that you can build more stately mansions. The manifestations of higher and higher concepts. By manifesting is meant experiencing the results of these concepts in your world. It is of vital importance to understand clearly just what consciousness is. In our example. Here I am all that is God, right in the middle. This is all consciousness. And since everything is of this, I am all that is God. All self concepts that come out of that are consciousness. Which means everything in our self concept in our world is from the same creation machine is consciousness. All self concepts when we change them will help us build more stately Mansons, build more stately mansions. Remember my father's house are many mansions. These are all, all these self concepts. Here I am a thousandaire, Here I am a millionaire. Here I am a billionaire. Here I'm a trillionaire. And over here I start off with tens of dollars. You can change your self concept by changing your consciousness. The reason lies by manifesting is meant experiencing the results of these concepts in your world. It is a vital importance to understand clearly just what consciousness is. Here we go. The reason lies in the fact that consciousness is the one and only reality. It is the first and only cause substance of the phenomena of life. Nothing has existence for man save through the consciousness he has of it. Therefore it is to consciousness you must turn. For it is the only foundation on which the phenomena of life can be explained. It really means you have nowhere else to go to make the changes you want to make. If you want to be a conscious creator of your reality. If you want to feel like you're just on top of a floating inner tube, letting the river push you wherever you go. Just like Neville sensed it in the search the big ocean and the waves and being tossed around. The idea here is, if you want to be a conscious creator, doing this consciously, then getting to understand consciousness is probably the most primary important thing here. And consciousness is the fuel or the backdrop of what you are. You are a self concept of consciousness. Your self concept you have of yourself is one of consciousness. Consciousness is the one and only reality. It is the first and only cause substance of the phenomena of life. Nothing can nothing has existence for man save through the consciousness he has of it. This is very important little pieces to break down. Because if you have consciousness of it, then therefore your subconscious is impressed. Therefore consciousness is impressed. Therefore your new objectification of reality is going to happen. And Become a thing. It's going to be real to you and in your experience. Because you're going to leave this self concept and go to this self concept based on how you impress your consciousness. Therefore, it is consciousness you must turn, for it is the only. It is to consciousness that you must turn, for it is the only foundation on which the phenomena of life can be explained. Which is what we're. Which is what we're pointing out. If we accept the idea of the first cause, it would follow that the evolution of that cause could never result in anything foreign to itself. That is, if the first sub. If the first cause, substance is light, all its evolutions, fruits and manifestations would remain light. The first cost, substance being consciousness, all its evolutions, fruits and phenomena must remain consciousness. All that could be observed would be a higher or lower form or variation of the same thing. In other words, if your consciousness is the only reality, it must also be the only substance. Consequently, what appears to us circumstances, conditions, and even material objects are really only the products of your own consciousness. Nature, then, as a thing or a complex of things external to your mind must be rejected. And your environment. You and your environment cannot be regarded as existing separately. You and your world are one. When you look out into the world and you think it's out here, that is not correct, that is wrong. That is trying to separate yourself from something. When actually everything is you pushed out. Everything is in your self concept of consciousness. So everything you see is only coming out through the filter of you. By the way, that poem at the end of the last chapter of I Am was Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Wasn't in the book, but I looked it up. Okay, so the fact that I might remind you there. So everything you see in the world is something you're looking through. And that you're looking through. To have a view of anything is your self concept, which is made up of consciousness. You want to change what you see in the world like your new car, like your new house, like your new spouse, like your new reality. You change your consciousness. Then you see through a different filter of consciousness. That Yugo from 1986 is now a brand new Ferrari. You can change it to anything because it's just consciousness. The consciousness doesn't care what you are shaping it to be. It's just consciousness. Therefore, you must turn from the objective appearance of things to the subjective center of things. Your consciousness. If you truly desire to know the cause of the phenomena of life and how to use this knowledge to realize your fondest dreams in the midst of the apparent contradictions, antagonisms and contrasts of your life. There's only one principle at work. Only your consciousness operating. Difference does not consist in variety of substance. Difference does not exist in variety, excuse me, does not consist in variety of substance but in variety of arrangement of the same cause substance, your consciousness. A car is a car is a car. A car being a 1986 Yugo which I had a friend who had one of those. Seemed like the whole thing was made of plastic. Excuse me. Or if it's a 2025 Ferrari. Consciousness doesn't have any consciousness itself doesn't have any qualm. It doesn't have a dog in the fight. It doesn't the consciousness of which you are creating from your self concept. It's not judging whether you say it's an old Pinto or a brand new Ferrari. I'm having fun with the cars this morning for some reason. So the idea here is the object is consciousness. It's formed into the object of what you claim it to be by and through your self concept. The consciousness itself doesn't care. It doesn't have an emotional repercussion considering what you think it is. Consciousness is you. Everything is you pushed out as you change your self concept. I am wealthy. That old 80s car will now be a brand new whatever you want it to be. Do you want a Range Rover? Do you want a Ferrari? What is it you want it to be? You're going to the end and you're in your imaginative driving that car and you can feel it from first person. Everything else that goes with the making that car a reality will come into fruition. Because that's how this works. Bridge of incidents okay. The world moves with motiveless necessity. By this is meant that it has no motive of its own but is under the necessity but is under the necessity of manifesting your concept. The arrangement of your mind and your mind is always arranged in the image of all you believe and consent to as true. The rich man, poor man, beggar man or thief are not different minds, but different arrangements of the same mind in the same sense that a piece of steel when magnifies differs not in substance from its demagnetized state, but in the arrangement and order of its molecules. A single electron revolving in a well. By the way, that was the very first Neville lecture I heard by Neville was that one when he said that exact thing about like in that lecture was that one last sentence. And he also said that whatever's in you is the same thing that's in the Pope and the shoeshine boy. And we all have the same source. And that lecture grabbed a hold of me so, so firmly and vividly. I couldn't let go from that point. That was basically the first of January of 22, and it was that exact sentence. The rich man, the poor man, beggar man, or thief are not different minds, but different arrangements of the same mind in the same sense that a piece of steel, when magnifies, when magnetized, differs not in substance from its demagnetized state, but in the arrangement and order of its molecules. That right there really grabbed a hold of me. Maneville said that a single electron revolving in a specified orbit constitutes the unit of magnetism. When a piece of steel or anything else is demagnetized, the revolving electrons, the revolving electrons have stopped. Therefore, the magnetism has not gone out of existence. There is only a rearrangement of the particles so that they produce no outside or perceptible effect. When particles are arranged at random, mixed up in all directions, the substance is said to be demagnetized. But when particles are marshaled in ranks so that a number of them face in one direction, the substance is a magnet. Magnetism is not generated, it is displayed. Health, wealth, beauty and genius are not created. They're only manifested by the arrangement of your mind, that is by your concept of yourself. Health, wealth, beauty, and genius are not created. They are only manifested by the arrangement of your mind, that is by your concept of yourself. The importance of this in your daily life should be immediately apparent. The basic nature of the primal cause is consciousness. Therefore, the ultimate substance of all things is consciousness. End of chapter. Man, you, me, we, all of us, must be in the understanding that this everything is just consciousness. Everything.
