Seeing God Ch 4 The Power Of Unlimited Imagination by Neville Goddard

All right. Neville Goddard, the Power of Unlimited Imagination. Chapter four. Again, this is chapter four in this book. Because we had chapter four. Last chapter was this book. So we're going to just. I'm just going to call it for what it is. I'm not going to change the number, even though we're bouncing back because that chapter we just did wasn't in this book. So I'm doing the extras. The extras matter. All Neville Matters. Chapter 4. Power of Unlimited Imagination. Seeing God. St. August St. Augustine once said, oh my God, let me see thee. And if it die is to see thee, then let me die that I may behold thy face. Yet when we fell, God told us, you cannot see my face and live. But I will cause my glory to pass by. And when I pass by, you shall see my back. But my face you will not see that God is your wonderful I am ness, your awareness, who is forever claiming I am. That is who I am. I am, that is who I am. Imagination's power is the only power. It is your power to kill, to make alive, to wound and to heal. It is your imagination that forms the light, makes the good and creates the evil. And there is no other God. Man is inclined to believe in two powers, one for good and the other for evil. But I tell you, there is only one. The I in man is he who kills and makes alive, who curses and creates. Your consciousness of being is the only reality. The self definition of an absolute state is I am divine and this absolute state is God. It is your I am which cannot be seen. Matthew tells us, blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. The word pure in the above statement comes from the Greek word catharos, which also means clean, clear. To be pure the mind must be cleared of all obstructions created by traditional wrong thinking. To be pure, the mind must be cleared of all obstructions created by traditional wrong thinking. The heart must be cleared of the belief in the in a secondary power. Only when this is done will you be blessed. For you will know the one and only God to be your true self. There is no power outside of you. The same power in you that makes the good, creates the evil. Start now to free yourself from the belief in two powers. For only then will you be pure in heart and see God. The whole vast universe is nothing more than the response to the consciousness of men. If you believe that the eye in another is the cause of your displeasure and not your own eye, then you have planted a tree in your mind that is obstructing your view. And must be uprooted. Oh boy. We are told no man shall imagine evil in his heart. I'm not speaking of a physical organ, but of the mind, the center or heart of the matter. When your heart is pure, you become a member of the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek. I have a book, the Melchizedek Truth Principle, I think. Very good book. Frater Akkad. Very good. Few books of his. Gosh, I read them. Seems like a long time ago. When your heart is pure, you become a member or of the order of Melchizedek. Read the story carefully and you will see that when Abraham slaughtered the kings in parentheses, all of all of his negative and unlovely ideas. Read the story carefully and you will see that when Abraham slaughtered the kings, he returned to find Melchizedek the symbol of the I am the being you really are. Learn to discipline your mind. For only the disciplined mind can attain the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Remember the 12 disciples. These are the 12 disciplines of the mind. Study, memorize, flashcard. Understand when you shouldn't be hearing the BS Simon Peter the 12 disciplines of the Mind Learn to discipline your mind. For only the disciplined mind can maintain the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Only the disciplined mind can maintain the feeling of the wish fulfilled. So you have a wish to fulfill God all that is I am. You have self concepts when you want to be. When you were. Some of you were in the past, some you'll be in the future. This is where you are now. Having your focus on the wish to be fulfilled is to look here and make that subconscious impression to objectify what it is you want. Learn to discipline your mind. For only the disciplined mind can attain the feeling of the wish fulfilled. If what you had imagined has not come into being, it is because you have not severed the ties that bind you to the level where you now stand. You have not severed the ties that bind you to where your self concept is. Now you must sever the ties. You must kill the old man. That is not literal. That is psychological and figurative. The old man is the old you. That's where you now exist and stand. You must kill that man. You must break your mechanical reaction to life in order to change your life. Track mechanical reaction. What does that mean? You ever have a. If you have a pet, like a dog for instance, and you have a toy that they love to chase and go fetch for, then you know what mechanical reaction means? Absolutely no. Because there are stimulus response creatures. And I think at some level with the habits we can form for ourselves. We become stimulus response creatures. And believe me, it's very true. So we must break our mechanical reaction to life in order to change our life track. If you're going to respond the same way over and over, you're going to be stuck in that loop out in the world back here. You're not making the impression on your subconscious. The world's making the impression on your subconscious. So you have a desire, but you don't fulfill it by making that impression. So you go to the world. The world doesn't have an answer, but you get all in this loop out here. You come back over here because that's where you started. You're always going to come home, but you don't find any fulfillment for your absence. You went out in the world and you came back, but there's nothing to show for when you were gone. That's the same thing as the now, the past and the present. You if you're spending time in the past or you're spending time in the future. I don't know if I said that correctly. The now, the future and the past. If you're spending time out of your now, dwelling on the past or spending time dwelling in the future and you're not present and then all of a sudden you come back to the present. It's like coming back here to where your desires exist and then you have nothing to show for your absence. You are gone in an illusion out here in the world, in the world of the mind, of the idea of the past, of the idea of the future. When I get my degree, when I get married, when I get the house, when I get the job, when I get the promotion. That's all future illusions. Same with the past. Oh, I wish I didn't do that to her. I wish I didn't do that to him. I wish they didn't do it to me. I just wish another thing went another way. Those are the illusions of the past. But what you do is when you leave your present and you go into the world imagining about the past or the future, that's kind of in the world stuff. Let's just call that in the world. Because in the world, if you're not present, you're in some other fantasy because you're not in your now. That fantasy is like all the other fantasies in the world. So we'll just call it that. If you're not present in your now, you're not home. The lights are on, but nobody's home. We want to remember as often as we Can. Let's get back to home. Get back into the closet, shut the door. I am. Some breathing. This is not too intense. Couple. I ams couple three. Close your. Close your peepers and chill out. I am. I'm chill. This is when you remember where your home is. Your home is now right here. I and my father are one. My father's greater than I. You withdraw from all that illusion out there. I. The past drops, the future drops. Those two big illusions drop right away. When you remember. I am. Go in the closet, shut the door, meditate. Feel this. When you go to sleep, you remember where your home is. You weren't far at all, but you just weren't home. The only reason for this teaching is to encourage you and push you up the vertical line of the cross. It is very important for you to learn to be uncritical of yourself. For if you are not, you will justify your behavior, which will cause you to remain in your present state. You'll be in that loop over and over and over. That loop is what it looks like is. Here's the world. There's everything and all of its wonderful offerings. Here's you. But you're not making the subjective impression into your subconscious. Here's your conscious. Here's your subconscious. You're not making the impression enough to. To get this wed. To get this conception done. This is Mary over here inside of you. All of us have Mary. All of us have a womb. You're not making the impression you're going into the world. You're going into the fantasy of the past. You're going into the fantasy of the future. And you're not making the impression. If you're not making the impression, your womb is open to all the offerings from without. Without meaning the world outside of yourself. Remember, this game here, which we are all playing, is an inner world game. And when you're not present and you're. You're caught over here thinking about the past that's in the world, you're over here thinking about the future. This is not in the present. That's. That's in the world. This whole thing here is now. This is the present, okay? This is the present. Right here. Now. Eternal now. Everything in here is in the moment. It's in the right now. If you're caught thinking about the past or the future, which they do not exist. They are not. They are not within you. They are outside of you. Because when you're there, someday I will. What's that? Brian Tracy said Someday I'll. It's an island where all your dreams are fulfilled. Someday aisle. Someday aisle. Yeah, that's a good one. Okay. Someday aisle over here is not. Is not at home. I wish I woulda. That's not home. I wish I would. And someday aisle. Boy, oh boy. If you're in either one of these, the lights are on, but nobody's home. And your subconscious is wide open for any of the offerings that the world wants to send your way. You're not deciding for yourself. You're not thinking for yourself, which is, I believe, is actually a privilege, a right. It's you thinking for yourself. But you haven't gone home. You haven't done your I am. You haven't asked yourself before you fall asleep, what is it I like? What is it I enjoy? When I wake up, I will know exactly the answer for my future. What is it I want to be now that's going within and shutting the door in secret? That's not out here. What's in my future? That's in here. What would be the fulfilling desire that I could chase down and be the happiest with is what that says. That way you can make the impression into your subconscious, bringing these two together. The inner wedding inside of you happens and gives birth to the sun. This is your new objective reality. This is your 3D reality. That's the new car. That's the new wife. That's the new husband. That's the new health. That's your perfect blood analysis. That's all of that that you're seeking. When you have the desire, when you listen, when you go into the kingdom of heaven here and imagine, what would I like? What do I like? You have to take that push of yourself. No one's going to come up behind you and push you. You've got to do this if you will stop, if you will. But if you will stop being critical, you will stop the negative thoughts that bind you to your present state and move you out of it and into another. If you will stop being critical. There are three ways to clear your mind of the trees of traditional wrong thinking and allow you to see God. They are uncritical observation, non identification and sacrifice of the state you formerly believed yourself to be. Man tries to see God by means of little pictures, but God can only be seen through belief in one power. Through uncritical observation, you will encounter your particular state. If you don't like the role the state requires you to play as it unfolds, stop reacting to it until you reach the point where you no longer react. You are not pure Enough to see God. Until you reach the point where you are no. Where you no longer react. Where you no longer react, you are not pure enough to see God. When you see him, you will know him as you will be like Him. You will be on. The reason you will be uncritical is because you will be non judgmental. Now you will know I am Him. If you see me, you see my Father, you will know I am Him. As you study this particular material, it will well up inside of you. And one day you'll be looking in that mirror after your shower and say, oh my, I am Him. Whoa, whoa. If I am him and he is me, there's nothing wrong with me doing the works of Him. He made me in his image, forgot who he was in me so I could wake up and remember I am Him. All his miracles are my miracles. All my miracles are his. So I can objectify any desire in my reality. I want to experience any. Where I am is always what I am. Establish one I within yourself, not a number of eyes. The I roots out all secondary causes and clears the mind of the power to enslave. Your belief in powers external to you is a tree that must be rooted out of your mind. It's the same thing as believing that all these things out here have power over you. You think out here is where your strength is. Is there a dating app? Is there somebody that's going to introduce you to somebody? Should you go to this group or that group so you can meet guys or meet potential fiance's? It's not out here, it's in here. Don't get me wrong. As you make the impression on your subconscious and you start to objectify that reality of being happily married in love, all the wonder that goes with the relationship. As you make that impression, the bridge of incidence is going to open up. And this objectification, you're not going to be able to stop the experience, the meeting of another and the right other for you. You won't be able to stop it. I don't know if most people have been to the beach. And if you haven't, you maybe you've seen it on tv. Obviously. When a wave is coming, how do you stop? Have you seen people try and stop waves? You can't stop the ocean. Ocean has waves that come and hit the shore, right? The water comes up and goes back out. But there's no way you can stop a wave. It's the same exact thing. After your consciousness becomes that what you desire because you made the impression and it objectifies in your reality, which is the birth of a son, this objectification will create. It'll become a bridge of incidence. You don't have to have or spend on all these things that you think are going to get you the unveiling of that experience, the bridge of incidence. What you're doing here is you're chasing down the how. How is it supposed to happen? His ways are past finding out. When you make the subconscious impressions, the subjective impression. His ways are past finding out. This will objectify, but his ways are past finding out. You need not be concerned one iota with how that meeting is going to happen. In fact, ignore it. Just be the consciousness of being married, being in love. I am in love. I am loving, caring and nurturing. I always. I've been going back and I've been going constantly about. All men are loving, caring, nurturing. All women are loving, caring, nurturing. But there is also in the mirror after your shower, or what have you. I am loving, caring and nurturing. I am loving, caring and nurturing. I am loving, caring and nurturing. As you're hearing this right now, say this. I am loving, caring and nurturing. You are going to become that. Because you're making the impression you can even do this lullaby while you fall to sleep. It's a wonderful lullaby because it is a lullaby. That's what a lullaby is. It's in subconscious impression. As you make that impression and you become that loving, caring and nurturing. So if you're loving and caring, nurturing, guess what you're going to meet. Begin now to use this technique and you will realize your every dream. But first you must have a dream, a desire for something. As desire is your springboard of action, define your objective. If it were fulfilled now, where would you be physically? What exactly is your objective? If it were fulfilled now, where would you be physically? Would you be in New York? Would you be in Florida? Would you be in Seattle? Would you be in San Diego? Would you be in Oklahoma? Where would you be? What would the world look like? Would your wife, husband, mother, father or friends see you differently? It's a good question. Feel their presence. See the joy expressed on their faces. And hear their congratulations. One of the most important pieces right here. Hear the voice of the angels. Hear their congratulations. Repeat this act. Until you have the feeling of accomplishment. Repeat this act. Repeat this act. Then, having assumed the feeling of completion, remain faithful to it. For your assumption contains within itself all of the plans and power necessary for externalization. You need do nothing on the outside. For by your assumption, your Mind is being rearranged. And when it confirms, it externalizes. Your desire may be for an improvement in your financial position, your social circle, or a deeper understanding of the mystery. The desire is up to you. But when put into practice, this technique will never fail you. When put into practice. Sounds very simple. When put into practice, who's coming to do it for you? Is your third grade teacher coming to do it for you? Mrs. Skank? That's an inside joke between me and a good friend of mine. We both had the same class in third grade and he was asking me last week what was the name of that teacher. She looked really big and tall. And we just got a good laugh out of it because she used to walk a certain way down the hall. And we were making fun of that memory. But who's going to come and do it for you? Let's just wait right here. Let's just wait for somebody to come and do it. But seriously, nobody. You know this. Nobody's come yet, and nobody's going to. You have all the time you want to. You want to just wait for it. It's not go ahead and wait, but it's really going to be up to you. When you become aware of this, the time is now. The tide is high. The time is now. It doesn't matter. Age, height, weight, color, whatever. It doesn't matter which part of the planet you're seeing this from. It doesn't matter. We're all his children. All of us are of him. So whenever we become aware of this, it's time to apply it. We have to apply it and prove it doesn't work. Then see what happens. The kingdom of heaven with its many states. Kingdom of heaven. Kingdom of heaven with its many states, some lovely and some not so lovely, is within you. The kingdom of heaven is within you with its many states. The state capable of wounding or healing, killing or making alive is within you. Killing, incidentally, is killing the old man. Making alive the new man. That's what's being referred to here. They are all psychological states completely furnished and ready to externalize themselves in your world. And if, having entered a particular mansion or state, okay, you do not care to remain there, you may leave it. By the same technique. It was entered through the act of assumption. What is the act of assumption? Making the impression on your subjective self that objectifies into reality. Making the psychological impression on your subconscious, your subjective self, and which automatically, once that impression is made, automatically is objectified. You don't like it in the current reality that you objectified to you created this one. All of a sudden this one has its own set of limitations. Over here you were a thousandaire and over here you want to be a millionaire. Over here you were single and you wanted to be in a marriage. You wanted to be in love and you got into a marriage and you don't like it. You can also use the law of assumption to get out of that. It happens all the time. Look at the statistics. I thought it used to be 50%. I think the numbers rise by quite a bit. Somebody mentioned on this channel in the comments way more percent than that. I'm like whoa, it's a large percentage, I don't even want to repeat it. But we need that percentage to go down inside of us. We need not look at the world with its spreadsheets. All that is just whatever. Your only world to recognize and focus on is the one you are living. All marriages are successful. All marriages go the whole distance. I know of people that have been married 60 years. My in laws I think are 50, 50 or 60 years. I mean it's incredible. It is possible, it is real. It is what you focus on. You see all marriage as successful. That'll be in your objectified reality that what you see. If you think it's not, you'll make that impression into your subconscious and that's all you will see. Don't forget the finger pointing thing. And if having entered a particular mansion you do not care to remain there, you may leave it by the same technique it was entered the through the act of assumption. It is so easy to feel sorry for yourself and so very difficult to give up this feeling. It's easy to feel sorry for yourself and so very difficult to give up the feeling. But you cannot enter another state until you do. No one can uproot the weeds of self pity or the trees of so called second causes for you. You must uproot them yourself. Second causes meaning the causes from outside of you. You must uproot them yourself. God put Adam in the garden to tend and keep it. I just mentioned if you see a homeless person and you're pouring oil on their wounds, that is you tending to your garden. You wouldn't see that person for some by accident. They wouldn't be in your purview or view by accident. There's a reason for that. You must uproot them yourself. God put Adam in the garden to tend and keep it. Guess what? He put you. He put her, he put me. He put them in our specific gardens for a reason. As Adam, you fell asleep but when you awake, you are Christ. The power and the wisdom of God. Start now to observe your reactions to life. And do not allow yourself to become identified with any unlovely state. Wow, what a chapter. Man, oh, man. 1952. I can't believe what was going off over there in San Francisco. Chapter four. Seeing God. There is so many wonderful pieces in here. The kingdom of heaven, with its many states, is within you. The state capable of wounding or healing, killing or making alive is within you. They are all psychological states, completely furnished and ready to externalize themselves in your world. And if, having entered a particular state or particular mansion, you do not care to remain there, you may leave it by the same technique. It was entered through the act of assumption. There it is. It literally is giving you the complete freedom to come and go. Where do you want to be and exist and dwell. And if you don't like it there, you can move along. The state's going to be a state. The state's not going to vanish. The state's going to be there all the time. But your freedom to be in or out of that state is up to you at any time. It's not a requirement of time to stay there until you're uncomfortable with it. You'll sit there and make a habit out of it. When you make a habit out of it. Yeah, that's a whole nother story. That's what we're trying to break right here with this knowledge, this information is break that habit. Use the law of assumption. Bring together the masculine and feminine self, the conscious and subconscious, give birth to the new Son, which is the new reality. This is what we're learning to do, is overcome that postscript. Sacrifice your little hurts, your grievances and belief in secondary causes. Then you will be blessed, for you will be pure in heart and see God. Test yourself, and you will discover that the fault you see in the other exists in you. Awaken. You must free yourself. And the only way to do that is to awaken the Christ in you who is sound asleep. Turn to self and you will find the Christ in you who is your hope of glory. What a wonderful chapter. Power of unlimited imagination. Chapter four. Man. What a great one. Seeing God. We will see you in the next chapter.
