Controlled Reverie Ch 4 Prayer - The Art Of Believing by Neville Goddard

Neville Goddard teaches how imagination and belief shape reality. He explains hypnosis and subconscious suggestion, arguing that controlled mental states let you impress your desires onto the world. Faith isn't passive waiting but active visualization of what you want as already true.
Neville Goddard Prayer the Art of Believing Chapter 4. Controlled Reverie Everyone is amenable to the same psychological laws which govern the ordinary hypnotic subject. He is amenable to control by suggestion. In hypnosis, the objective senses are partly or totally suspended. However, no matter how profoundly the objective senses are locked in hypnosis, the subjective faculties are alert and the subject. And the subject recognizes everything that goes on around him. The activity and power of the subjective mind are proportionate to the sleep of the objective mind. Suggestions which appear powerless when presented directly to the objective consciousness are highly efficacious when the subject is in the hypnotic state. The hypnotic state is simply being unaware. Objectively, in hypnotism, the conscious mind is put to sleep and the subconscious powers are exposed so as to be directly reached by suggestion. Isn't it amazing when you see a hypnotist? I remember seeing one at the Orange County Fair years ago. And just what happened in front of me, what he made these people do and act like a chicken and just do all kinds of crazy things. It was fascinating. Always it blows me, blows my mind when I see them. And now you know that there's a conscious self and a subconscious self as what we've been going over. And you can see how then that that activity works. It's easy to see from this, providing you accept the truth of mental suggestions, that anyone not objectively aware of you is in a profound hypnotic hypnotic state relative to. To you. Let me clean that sentence. It's easy to see from this, providing you accept the truth of mental suggestions that anyone not objectively aware of you is in a profound hypnotic state relative to you. Therefore curse not the king, no, not in thy thought. And curse not the rich in thy bedchamber. For a bird of the air shall carry the voice. And that which hath wings shall tell the matter. Ecclesiastes 10:20. Very, very true. Again, Golden Rule. Everything needs to be to the Golden Rule. If you would not have that done unto you, you would not do it unto another. As the same as saying, do not unto another as you would not want done unto you. Nor think anything about another that you would not want another to think of you. You can tell from this it's your responsibility to raise the tide. The tide is at your command. You either raise it or you are. As my teacher used to say, you're bringing us all down with you. If you're not bringing us up, you're bringing us down. If you're not using your imagination, someone else is. Let's repeat this Sentence. Curse not the king. No, not in thy thought. And curse not the rich in thy bedchamber. For a bird of the air will carry the voice. And that which hath wings shall tell the matter. Use what you sincerely believe as true of another. You awaken within him. Remember the example of the teacher who heard of the law. Of this law. And she went at that. That night this student was about to be expelled. And she imagined him lovingly for that student and. And brought the matter to her mind that the student was better and was. Didn't need to be expelled and was. Was. The temper had gone away. Whatever temper that child had and was. It was all good. And the child was in school and getting good grades. He just imagined that on her own just one person did that. And the child did not have to be expelled. And was still in school at the writing of that book which Neville had. I think it was a book or it was a lecture. But the point is, that which hath wings shall tell the matter you. No matter if you're in the positive or the negative. This lady was using her imagining level in the positive. Now, if she would have went home after the lecture of Neville. And complained about that student. Then she would only be feeding that enchantment. And that student would pick it up. And that student would go ahead and run down the tracks of what the other person believed of them. And therefore that potential would be wasted. All the potential of the student and the teacher would. Would be gone. It'd be the feeding of that. Of that suggestion. What you sincerely believe as true of another. You awaken within him. That was a very big teaching of the. In the Seth material. Also. Seth called it a psychic bridge that you would develop. A teacher would develop with a student. For instance, a troubled student. No one need to be entranced in. In the ordinary manner to be helped. As I just described about the teacher and the student. If the subject is consciously unaware of the suggestion. And if the suggestion is given with conviction and confidently by the operator as true. Then you have the ideal setting for a successful prayer. That's all it takes. Just be convinced of its truth. That student is doing so much better. Represent the subject to yourself mentally. As though he had already done that which you desire him to do. Mentally speak to him and congratulate him on having done what you want him to do. Mentally see him in the state you want him to obtain. Within the circle of its action. Every word subjectively spoken. Awakens objectively what it affirms. Incredulity. Incredulity Incredulity on the part of the subject is no hindrance when you are in control of your reverie. Oh man. Incredulity. Incredulity on the part of the subject is no hindrance when you are in control of your reverie. You celebrate within you hearing that good news. Bold assertion by you while you are in a partly subjective state awakens what you affirm. Bold assertion by you. Bold assertion by you. Okay, here we go. Where are you? Where are you hiding? I am all that is God. So one self concept, another self concept of which there are many. And you take part in any of these you want to. This is healthy. This is wealthy. This is in love. This is married. This is free. This is where you were. This is where you were before that even it doesn't matter. These are all self concepts. There's no limitation. They all exist. All of his creations are done. Bold assertion by you while you are partly in a subjective state while you are in a partly subjective state awakens what you affirm. Partly subjective state awakens what you affirm. Remember you have your masculine and your feminine. Your subjective is here and your objective is here. Objective, subjective. When you're partly in this subjective state is when you go into your I am meditation. That's when you're taking your breaths. You're closing your mind off from the senses and and you're in your I am meditation. Your I am. I am. Partly subjective. You are now. You're partly subjective means that subconscious is now literally listening and you're right there at its at its threshold. Bold assertion by you while you are in a partly subjective state awakens what you affirm. Self confidence on your part and the thorough belief in the truth of your mental assertion are all that is needed to produce results. Visualize the subject and imagine that you hear his voice. This establishes contact within his subjective mind. Then imagine what that he is telling you what you want to hear. If you want to send him words of health and wealth, then imagine he is telling you I have never felt better and I've never had more. I've never felt better and I've never had more. Imagine on the phone. I've never felt better. I've never had more. Health and wealth and mentally tell him of your joy in witnessing his good fortune. Imagine that you see and hear his joy. A mental conversation with a subjective image of another must be in a manner which does not express the slightest doubt as to the truth of what you hear and say. No doubt you just are fully solid in that communication to You. Oh, I never felt better. I've never had more. A mental conversation with a subjective image of another must be in a manner in which does not express the slightest doubt as to the truth of what you hear and say. Remember, you've heard that person's voice before. You might be doing this for your brother or your sister or your mother or your father or your boyfriend or your girlfriend or your friend. You've heard their voice before. You know how to hear it on the phone. You know how to hear it mentally. If you've heard it physically, you can see a person, which I've done quite often. I mentioned it in a previous video. You can imagine what a voice sounds like just by seeing a person. You can imagine what by seeing a person, it is for them to smile. You can just see it because you've seen their face once. So you can hear the voice. You have the capacity to hear the voice tell you what an amazing new turn of events has happened. And they have the new event and you're congratulating them in your imagination. If you have the least idea that you do not believe what you have imagined you have heard and seen, the subject will not comply. For your subjective mind will. Will transmit only your fixed ideas. And that would be doubt, which you don't want in here. Only fixed ideas can awaken their vibratory correlates in those toward whom they are directed. In the controlled reverie, ideas must be suggested with the utmost care. He's given a warning here. The golden rule is very, very important. And if you want to play without that, that's going to be up to you. Because what comes rubber and glue, right? I'm rubber, you're glue. So whatever you send out, if they don't accept it, it's coming back. And there are people that want to play with that idea. How they can cause or imagine a negative for another, and they play in that realm. They get what they. They get what they. What they give. You live by the sword, you die by the sword. It's not something I want. I want to do. I hope for you you don't want to do that, but that is out there. And what he's saying here, again, if you're not using your imagination, someone else is. So as a little bit of a. Of a disclaimer on everything I just said right there. In the controlled reverie, ideas must be suggested with the utmost care. If you do not control your imagination in the reverie, your imagination will control you. Whatever you suggest with confidence is law to the subjective Mind, it is under obligation to objectify that which you mentally affirm. Not only does the subject, does the subject execute the state affirm, but he does it as though the decision had come of itself or the idea had him had been originated by him. Back to the movie Inception. The movie has. The movie Inception really does, does portray this well. The guy who made the movie and I forget his name, he starts the movie with the way he ends the movie. It's. It's as if you could play the movie in a loop. The beginning and end. He does this with his movies too. I think he also did the movie Tenant, which is another good movie. Not only does the subject execute the state affirmed, but he does it as though the decision had come of itself or the idea had been originated by him. Control of the subconscious. Excuse me? Subcult. Control of the subconscious is dominion over all. Each state obeys one mind's control. Control of the subconscious is accomplished through control of your beliefs, which in turn is the all potent factor in the production of visible states. Imagination and faith are the secrets of creation. Oh boy. Neville laying it down. Oh my gosh, two pages. He has said a lot right here, especially in this last very, very small paragraph. Control of the subconscious, which is automatically my favorite and it's very, very powerful. Control of the subconscious is dominion over all. Control of the subconscious. Control of your subconscious, which you're giving impressions already all the time anyway. If you believe the world is full of limitations, so it be, so be it. It is taking your command as law. If you believe the world is full of abundance, so be it. It is taking your command as law. If you believe all men are loving, caring, nurturing, so then your subconscious puts you in contact with those that are loving, caring, nurturing. If you believe that being in love is the ultimate joy in life, then your subconscious takes that as a command and puts you in contact with those that bring and deliver loving, caring, nurturing experiences to give you the joy of life. If you believe anything, your subconscious is taking it as a command. It is law to the subconscious. It's not an option. To the subconscious. It doesn't go. I don't know if you deserve that right now. I don't know if you're aware that you are not thinking properly and I need to, you know, discriminate for you. Nuh. The subconscious takes it and runs. It takes your command and runs and then it's objectified. So whatever you are putting into your subconscious state, it will be and as a matter of fact, up to today, up to this very moment. You have been doing this excellently. You've been doing this every single day already. Literally. Remember the other piece. Your objective reality this morning when you woke up was what you believed last night when you went to sleep. So today you're living in the shadow of your past. This is your past. What you believe last night. Because you did go to sleep and it went into your subconscious. Every single thing you believed about your reality was directed into your subconscious. Every single thing. And then you woke up this morning with all of that together making the reality you call your day. From the moment instant that let there be light happened in your mind. Everything was real today because of what you believed last night. So this past shadow that you're walking around in is where. Is where your expressions are. They have a beginning. That beginning is in meditation. It's right when you wake up in SATs. And it's right when before you fall asleep in sets. You can do this in the middle of your day too. Meditation. Just. I am. I am breathing. Quiet. Close. Close the senses. But just remember the impact that you have is. Is an everyday thing. Pretty much an every moment thing too. But control of the subconscious is dominion over all. Each state obeys one mind's control. Control of the subconscious is accomplished through control of your beliefs. Which in turn is the all potent factor in the production of visible states. Imagination and faith are the secrets of creation. Man. Imagination and faith are the secrets of creation. Doesn't it sound so simple? Apply it. I imagine that you have applied it and you are happy too. Chapter 4 All right. Controlled Reverie. We'll see you. Prayer. The art of believing. Of course. We'll see you in the next chapter.
