It's All A Movement In Mind - Neville Goddard | How Time Works - Gilbert Anaya

One day we awake to discover we have never really left this place. So when I was told many years ago, you do not move in waking any more than you move in your bed and sleep. It's all a movement in mind. If you. Right now, imagine you're on the North Shore of Hawaii at Waimea Bay, under a palm tree, reading a book. You're there, it doesn't matter the plane and the car. You're actually on the beach, literally. Now what? The reason I bring up that as an idea or as the example is because I've been to Hawaii so many times on my 14th. Now, the reason I bring up that as an idea or as the example is because I've been to Hawaii so many times on my 14th trip, was also named Gilbert, and then went to Kauai, got married and came back to Oahu altogether 14 days there for that, for getting married there and honeymooning there. But that was 1999. Going back. My first time to Hawaii. I'll just go take a tangent. My first time to Hawaii was In the Navy, February 3rd and 4th, 1986, on a Navy ship. We stopped in there. My best friend who was stationed in Pearl harbor, he was actually there. So I got to connect with him. We would go out and party and have fun for two days in Hawaii. That's all we had there. And then we. And then we took off and we never returned there in the Navy again. Unfortunately. I went across the Pacific four times in the Navy, and we only stopped there one time, which was tragedy, tragic to me. So I get out of the Navy in 88, November. And then from then forward, my sister and I would go to Hawaii because our brother worked for American Airlines, still does, matter of fact. And we would get the standby tickets out of LAX and go to Hawaii all the time. Well, when I was learning numerology through my teacher in 1991, we were traveling. I was traveling to Hawaii maybe every six months. And one day I was sitting at Waimea Bay, right there on the beach under the palm trees, and I was realizing all these things. I was learning about numerology and other metaphysical subjects through my teacher. And I had my book open. And I'll never forget the vividness, the clear moment of the moment that I was realizing what a palm tree was and the resurrection quality of what a palm is, etc. All these metaphysical ideas swimming throughout through me like a big vortex. And it's easy to imagine sitting there. So I bring that idea up continuously because it's easy for me and then I see the Eddie Aikau has been for the last couple years in a row it's been held there at Waimea Bay. And you see the tide coming in and the huge water coming in and washing up to the people. You know, I know the spot. I know Sunset as well, you know, and Rocky Point where I had a buddy staying. And one time I called him at 5am, said we'll see you this afternoon. He goes, yeah, right. Little did he know, we were there by 2:30. It's just, it's easy to imagine my question, I bring all that up because I want to say to you this. I'm telling you of a past experience, but in actuality how time works. This is a little commercial. We're going to get into time more. This is a commercial for it. How time works is I'm telling you of what I quote unquote experienced in the past when actually I'm creating it now. I'm creating Sunset Beach, Rocky Point, Waimea Bay. I'm creating that in this moment. Your only ever moving in mind is the fact that facts Jack, you might as well accept it all time is right now, right here. This is how creative you are. You are amazingly creative. You can create anything you want right now and it goes into the past and it goes into the future, but it's only ever possible to create from right now. And as Abdullah said to Neville, you've already gone to Barbados. He was so self persuaded he was there, he pretty much didn't need to see him anymore because he was in Barbados. He's only seen the echo. And I'm sure Abdullah understood that concept. This few sentences right here. God buried us in. So God buried himself in us. And then we dream. And in our dream we have the illusion of motion and travel all over this vast, wonderful earth of ours. One day we awake to discover we have never really left this place. So when I was told many years ago, and you do not move in waking any more than you move in your bed in sleep. It's all a movement in mind. Now I haven't moved forward in the paragraph yet, but it is all a movement only in, in here, which also encompasses time. I want to build something to show an idea of time. And it's been bugging me for weeks already. And I'm going to find something to show this. But if you can imagine, of course you can. I have a tube. And let's say that that tube has. It's black. It's just a tube, okay? Like a paper towel tube. But let's say it's three feet long and it's glass. Let's say it's glass. It's like the size of a paper towel tube. It's glass, three foot long. Now I'm going to drag from this end. I'm going to drag through this. I'm going to drag a light through there. It's just going to be a tiny little LED light that can only light where it is in that tube. It doesn't light the whole tube. It lights the bit where it is. And let's say that the this end of the tube and this end of the tube are considered time, meaning this is the beginning of your life and this is the end of your life. For fun, I know it's all now, and that's what I'm trying to show you, how it's all now. But for the fun of an idea, this is the end. This is the beginning. It doesn't make a difference. This thing goes by in the blink of an eye. So we shouldn't be concerned about beginnings and endings. This is a blink of an eye. But imagine in your 90 years of your life, or 95 or 110, whatever you want to live, this is the beginning. This is the end of that life, your life, 95, 105, whatever. Let's imagine that light's traveling through here. Now, this is the funny part, and hopefully I'm coming across clearly. Let's say this is the beginning and this is the end. And you're here as this light's traveling through here. Everything as you pushed out. And your light so you emanate from you. Everything is you pushed out, means everyone is you pushed out. So here at the beginning, let's say you grew up in this neighborhood. Over here, in a place, in a town, in wherever, everything's you pushed out. So all your experiences is a pulse from you. Now you get over here in life, you're at a different age, and you go visit the neighborhood where you were or you grew up. You were there at one time, but since your light doesn't dwell there, it's not there now. You visit the place, but it doesn't look the same. In fact, it looks much smaller. But there's nobody that lives there either. Some people might still live there, but for the most part, everything you pushed out is not there anymore. Everything you pushed out is here now, focused here now. So if you dare to pay a visit to the previous dwelling place, it's not the same place because you're not the same. And you're not in the same place. You are in this tube, in this light example, which is the flash of a blink of an eye. This goes by faster than you can even imagine. You think you're in time? Nope, nope, nope. So as that light's traveling along through this tube, you have the prerogative, the freedom, the privilege to see and have an attitude towards how this whole thing is. How do you want it to be? Do you want it to be fun? I learned this from a friend of mine and I think I need to give him credit. It's my friend Rick and he just texted only a few minutes ago. I might have mentioned this before, but we got out of boot camp, we went in the Navy together. I might have mentioned it, but I'll repeat it. When I went into boot camp and I got out, it was about, was about 10, no, several months, five months before him. I went in in November. We all walked into the recruiter, three of us, one day in November. I went in on the 16th. Other buddy Tony went in 10 days later. Then Rick came in in May. We were in 84 going in. And then Rick went in in May of 85. And I had been going to school in San Diego, so I was local. So I was able to see him graduate boot camp. Long story short, my idea of boot camp in my past, I didn't like it. I was like, man, that was tough. That wasn't easy, right? Whatever. Whatever my attitude was. But when I talked to Rick about his experience of boot camp, he told me, man, boot camp was fun. And it struck me right between the eyes. And I thought to myself, wow, he's looking back on it as fun. So I immediately changed my attitude. I was like, I'm going to look at it as fun. I'm going to start focusing on all the fun things that actually happened in boot camp. Because it really is not easy. You have to bring up a lot of discipline to be able to go through it. So I started looking at it as a fun experience and it changed my whole demeanor towards even being in the service because of what I learned. Him say that one time when he said that and I told him that about a year ago, I told him, man, I learned a lot from you because it shapes all of this. Learning your attitude towards something makes the thing so as you're traveling as a light through this three foot tube of touch and it's going to be in a blink, your attitude while you're in the beginning dictates what your experience is in the end. If you think, excuse me for going here, I know it's all now, but if you think as you're a youngster that old people are bad or evil or wrong, then guess what's going to happen when you reach that end of the tube. You're going to have those experiences. Because that's your attitude towards that you have the freedom, the privilege and all this other wonderful stuff to have any attitude you want in this whole thing called life. It's one tube and it's going to go by so fast. It's best if you have any, if you can, positive attitude, regardless of your experiences. We all have experiences. I'm not going to start throwing my laundry on this right now. I'm just trying to show you that you have the freedom, no matter what your experiences have been, to have an attitude of fun, of adventure, of exploratory awesomeness. You can have that attitude at every point of that tube, three foot tube, your whole life, 100 years. Let's just say for optimistic sake, you can have an attitude that, oh, I always have all my bills paid and I'm always wealthy. Even though you don't have anything in your account right now, you can have that attitude that I've always had it all. So your attitude in every department, I've always been happily in love my whole life, boom. Covers the whole tube. I'm always healthy, I've always been healthy. I'm supposing in the past now, I've always been, I always will be, I am healthy. Covers the whole tube. It's an attitude thing. Your attitude. Should you be lucky to make it to the 80, 90, 100 year old, your attitude now is going to dictate that and what kind of person you will be. Because you're going to get your turn, you're going to get your stab at it. You might as well make it a fun one.
